19.-I am sending you sketch map

section, and the trail and wagon road
connections to the railroads. both north
and south also the location Of the most
prominent claims. A person coming in
here can take his choice of Elko OF Twin
Falls, and. in either case, will probably
wish he had taken the other. In short
time either will be good. as the Twin
Falls wagon road will have been built
down through the great canyon OF the
East fork Of the Jarbidge river. and
down the rocky slope Of Jack Hole and
on into camp; and the snow will be of
the Meadow creek summit and other
passes on the Elko road, and stages will
be run direct to the camp from both
directions. Light wagons can now cross
the East fork aud come as far as the top
of Jack Hole, about five miles from
camp. The few wagons now in camp
came in over the Elko road. or up the
Bruneau. There are now quite q mum.
ber Of horses around the camp and the
growing grass on the lowerslopes begins
to furnish some feed for them, and
there will soon be an abundance OF
grass. The town is growing rapidly.
Two weeks ago there were about 100
tents in the town; now there are 800
tents in Jarbidge and about 200 more
scattered along the river banks for a
mile below town. and two and a half
miles above, with q few mp in the hills.
With this number Of tents it is safe to
estimate the population at 1900. Less
