Drilling Operations Have Been
Going On For Weeks Near
Rochester
From MONDAYS Daily.

TTOUt MOHOdyS LAZY.
Rochester, Mimi, December 81
All indications now point to the con-
clusion that the operations which
have attracted so much attention be-
tween Chester and Eyota during the
past five or six months, are about to
come to a head. Report had it today
that one of the farms in that section
had been sold by the owner to the
company interested in the developing
operations. Several days ago, accord
ing to information received, the
drills and other testing equipment
were sent back to headquarters and
the supposition was that the machin-
cry for actual work was to be sent
to the scene of future operations.
The Investigations which have
been under way for months, have
been the cause of scores of conjec-
lures. Some said that the men were
looking for gold some said silver;
others gave other reasons. Semour
B. Kelly, the company man who was
on the job here for months with
view to securing options and making
purchases of lands said that the ma
terial sought was rock best suited
for cement manufacture.
There has been persistent talk,
however, that lead vein has been
followed from Wisconsin and Illinois
with the hope that it would center in
Olmsted county in large deposit.
This morning it was said that Pat
rick Delaney had sold his farm to
the company. Inquiry made this noon
of Mr.. Delaney elected the informa-
tion that he had not closed the deal
yet. The reply was: 1.-THE man has
not got here yet.'
