the operations of the Friedman prop

Lovelock:
Rochester Mines Company.
The winze on the SO0-foot level is
now down thirty-five feet. all the way
in good ore. Last week 1t was stated
same was down thirty-two feet, where
as it was only twenty-three feet.
The north drift on the Adams vein
on the S00-foot level is still advancing
in excellent ore and the width of the
vein has now again widened out to ten
feet.
We have started prosecuting east
on the 1100-foot level where we ex-
pect to open up the rich ore shoot we
now have on the S00-foot level.
We have encountered a good ore
shoot in the 159 raise, which is about
seventy feet below the surface on the
east vein.
The 1OO-foot level north, the $50 and
700-foot levels are producing the usual
amount of mill ore.
A bullion shipment of approximately
$4,000 will be made the first of next
week
Rochester Combined Mines Company.
The winze which is being sunk in
the Kroner tunnel, on what we call
the front vein, is advancing rapidly in
good grade of mill ore, averaging
about $12 per ton.
Raise No. in the working tunnel
is still in good grade of mill ore.
In trenching on the surface near
the Bacchus tunnel we have encoun-
tered float which assayed 372 ounces
silver and $3.50 per ton gold The
Bacchus tunnel no doubt in the near
future will penetrate the vein from
which this float came
The Happy Jack shaft is now down
a distance of ninety feet. all the way
in good ore.
The work in the Link No. l. 2 and 8,
Maynaugh tunnel, and all other work
ings is continuing in a good grade of
mill ore.
Both tanks at the millsite have been
completed and are filed with water
which is being used in concreting the
mill foundations.
The framing of the mill timbers is
well under way and practically all of
the lower sills have been framed and
are ready for erection.
Practically all of the timber for the
new mill have been delivered and
three carloads of machinery and one
carload of roofing paper has arrived.
We are constantly in touch with the
machinery concerns who are furnish
ing our equipment for the new mill, |
some of whom have promised to make |
earlier delivery than specified in the
contract and we feel certain that the
mill will be completed and in opera
ton by November 1st.
Seven TrOughs Coalition.
The drift on the ore shoot has ad-
vanced eighteen feet, all the way in |
excellent ore. Stopping will be start |
ed the first of next week. The vein |
averages between two and four feet |
in width. The last two assays across |
the face of the vein gave returns of
S20S and 1920 per ton gold. A test |
mill run of 125 tons is now being |
made.
Seven TrOughs Mining Company.
The No. stope on the 700-foot level |
produced { usual amount of high |
grade and shipping ore during the |
past week.
The drift from the winze ON the |
S00-foot level encountered the vein |
-I1, 4.
and we expect we will have to drift |
north between thirty-five and forty |
feet before we encounter continua-
tion of the rich ore shoot which we |
are working on in the 700-foot level. |
