All roads lead to Jorbidge, the new
Nevada-Idaho mining camp, accord
ing to mining men of Boise who are
deeply interested in the discoveries
and subsequent development, but NJ
e. Reynolds of Bruneau, who is
heavily interested in the Bourne
property and at present in Boise,
states that another highway Will be
added to the many with their destina-
ton as Jorbidge, and this one will
follow the west side of the Bruneau
river instead of the east side, max
ing it possible to cut off the few miles
over which it is necessary to pack on
the east side of the river via Three
Creek. The new highway will be
placed in the very best possible con-
dition so that there will be no part
of it over which packing will be nee
essary and it viii be possible to enter
the gold field by automobile from
Boise, Mountain Home or Bruneau.
1t will make about a 9O-mile run
from Mountain Home
There is no question but what it
is easier to reach Jorbidge from the
west via Mountain Home and Brun-
eau route than it is to go around by
Twin Falls or Bull" stated Mr.. Rey-
nolds today. ITO those going in
from the east the shortest route is via
Twin Falls or Bull l believe, how
ever, that the new road up the west
side of the Bruneau river Will be
better than them all, as il will be
possible to cut off the trail entirely
and to enter the new mining region
on as good road as can be found
anywhere. Work will start on the
improvement of this road within a
short time, and it will be placed in
the very best possible condition.
1--WE expect to ship ore from our
claims within the next five or six
weeks. and are making all prepare
lions at the present time to rush ths
necessary machinery into the caml
and install it. The property will then
be worked and the ore taken out jusi
as rapidly as possible.
Il still believe that the camp is
going to be one of the biggest thai

years and that a great deal of GOLD
will be taken out during the comins

activity. there is little question bu

mining region"

An ore sample taken from the Jor-
bidge district is being displayed in
the show window of the steptoe

is attracting a great deal of atten-
tion from mining men of Ely. The
ore has been assayed by Frank w.
Willard, and shows values of S96.32
a ton in gold.
The sample is a disintegrated
quartz porphyry, which would be
passed by the ordinary prospector as
valueless. Bets We're made yesterday
that the ore would not carry S25 a
ton, and the assay was made to de-
eide the bet.
The ore on exhibition is a grab
sample from five of the east AMI
west lodges cutting the main dyke,
which runs north and south, and
comes from the property owned by
Ralph Herbert, who was in the dis
trict 2 years ago and again last year.
The greater part of ore comes from
a twenty-five foot VIM that was sunk
from a fifty foot tunnel on one of the
claims, and. according to Mr.. Herbert,
there is fully six feet of this chara-
cter of the ore in this Wine.
THE sample on exhibition said
Mr.. Herbert, lis a general grab
sample which 1 took from five dis
tinct cross lodges, to determine what
value could be shown from the sur
face. with a view of determining If
the property could ship in its present
state.
"Other samples that were taken
from these lodges and were sent to
the United States Mines and Smelter
company at Salt Lake City for tests
showed that the ore delivered at the
plant in Garfield is worth from S105
to $40 a ton. These samples show
that the values are as follows: Gold
els ounces; silver. ounce; lead, AS
ounces; insolvent material, 74.4 pei
cent with a small percentage iron and
with a showing of sulphur.
Another sample, grabbed from

mining men, promoters and others
interested in the gold field. They
talk of the values that have been
discovered Just over the Nevada line
and seem to be of the opinion that
all reports with reference to the rich
ness of the new field will ma
terialize. Those who arrived from
Jorbidge are bombarded with ques-

moters are busy attempting to or

There is a general demand to see
samples of the ore taken out of some
of the claims. This ore has been I'M
usually scarce for some reason. One
specimen exhibited this week by
mining men was literally spotted
with gold and looked more like q
nugget than quartz. The exhibitor
claimed that there were tons of the
same high-grade ore in sight on The
dyke at Jorbidge. and that if this
proper development work is made
during the present year. even more
startling discoveries Will be made
than have been made up to the

ton; in Cripple Greek the average
is around S27 per ton since that dis
trict got down to a practical working
basis, handling many tons of the low

for Jorbidge is a great deal more
assuring; that it is what we have

who runs the pack train from Rim
Rock to Jorbidge, reached Bull to-
day and reports a big rush to the
district known as Robinson Hole,
located on the northeast slope Of
Jorbidge mountain, about 10 miles
east of Jorbidge He says that over

district when he left, and IS claims
had been recorded.
One restaurant outfit had gotten
on the wrong trail in making for
Jorbidge and had camped at this
place when the discovery was made.
Hudson says it is without doubt q
continuation of the original Bourne
vein, which outcrops here and there.
The first examination of the rock
showed the vein values are in tellul

rich values being disseminated
through the ore in a black, peppery

The cost of fighting the fires on the
