Show vffi ROCHESTER MINES W v HP HE north end of the Rochester Mines workings if ; is offering interesting developments that in- I f dicate the approach to the high-grade ore shoot i which apexes in Block 4 of the Crown Point No. ;' j. . 1, the most northerly point yet reached. Both I the east and west veins in Block 3 are showing t some of the best ore ever mined in Rochester Hill. The east vein at the 250-foot point below the j apex now shows two feet of ore which returns j ) $154.70 in silver and $5.20 in gold. The west vein in practically the same longitudinal portion j of the mine is showing six feet running 22 " ounceB in silver and $5.50 in gold. ' &$ Tne vems are very close together in this ter- ji i?$i ritory and it is an open question which is the j one mined at the apex under the regime of the ' old Hunter lease from which very rich ore was H shipped. A Preparations are going forward rapidly for the J new mill equipment which will bring the treat- Ijj' memv rate up to 150 and 200 tons per day. The S' work requires the installation of an additional III tube mill, a ctesnifier, an agitator and two settling tanks. The innovation can be effected, at little expense, but will add greatly to the bullion pro- duction and the dividend possibilities of the cur- f rent year. |
