Powers arrived here last night from Jar

Items tho details Of the most recent
strike In that district. which has been
made by prospectors grub -staked by ii.
II. Hoover OF this city, twenty days ago.
Powers says the vein Is at the mouth
OF Pine creek about n mile south OF the
Bourne bonanza ledge, is three TO four
feet wide OF the characteristic Jarbdse
quartz, and pans strings OF gold which
have greatly cnthused the already eX-
tremcly optimistic mining men In the
camp Some of the ore Is yet richer in
oil indications. but OF a more sulphide
character, and altogether the disclosure
is regarded as merely another illustration
OF the wonderfully general dissemination
OF sold alongside the ryholitic dykes. The
news brought by Powers has increased
the excitement among the crowds here
ouartered from night to night, some go
ing in and others returning from Jar

Thomas Clinton. farmer of Bull. but
formerly mining man and who WAS
erub-staked into Jarbidge a month ago
by citizens residing In the vicinity of his
residence. made a strike early this week,
and refused to sell his claims for $4,000.
AS reascn. he exclaimed; Heretofore
] gave away for a mere song several
prospects that j discovered In new min

The lots in the Hilltop claim, whose
surface rights arc being leased for town
site occupation, and which will form the
heart OF the business district, have al
most been closed out, and prices have
advanced until the bonuses offered equal
almost the amount of the original price.
Another claim adjoining is being pre-
pared for similar purposes.
Camp Building Up.
Restaurants, stores. roominS houses
and almost all other classes of businesses
are getting established, the construction
of cabins and the stretching OF tents are
largely occupying attention Of new ar
rivals. and this work is largely becoming
easier through the disappearance. of the
snow from the sulch. The worst features
attaching to prospecting now arc the |
snow slides, according to reports which |
arrived today. which arc spending them |
selves half mile from the camp. Many |
narrow escapes arc reported. but nobody |
has been caught In any of these ava !
lanches, which are started by the chinook |
winds.

saver c. e. Hart on some OF the Jar
