Next In 1898, John Suter, a railroad employee was looking for water and found gold instead. He claimed the area and named it Rochester after Rochester, New York where most of the board members lived. It was pointed out that there already was a Rochester in the county, so it was renamed Stedman, again, after the board members who belonged to the Stedman family. The Bagdad-Chase mine was a strong producer and remained in operation for nearly 20 years.
