Of the Camp.
9x Messrs Brunn and Kinney, return
Ralhg from Jarbidge where they have
y been for the past week or ten days
with a party of easterners looking
over different properties there, report
that conditions of the district are in
better shape than ever before and that
the work which has increased on all
the properties is demonstrating the
fact that Jarbidge is one of the richest
mining districts in Nevada.
A shipment of ore reached Twin
y Falls on the 18th and left for the sam
piers at Salt Lake City on the 18th.
This shipment consisted of 11O sacks
of high grade ore from the -Four M
lease on the Pavlak property. This
shipment is expected to be very bene-
ficial to the camp, inasmuch as it has
only taken three months time from
the beginning of the lease for this
amount of ore to reach the samplers;
something which no other mining
camp in the country ever accomplish
ed for it took the Goldfield Console
dated mines one year and a half before
a shipment was made and the lnde-
pendence mine of Cripple Creek.
which has paid millions in dividends,
was one year and eight months before
shipment was made and this ship
ment only amounted to about SS.50O.
Mr.. f. G. Schrader, U. S. Geological
survey man. has spent considerable
time exploiting the district and an
nounces that he would make the best
report to the government on this dis
ho hoe ,,aod la n
years experience with them.
On the Pavlak property Mr.. Riddle,
on his lease, with his lower tunnel is
in thirty feet with the cross-cut, from
where he has drifted twenty feet, ex-
pecting to strike the main ledge with
considerable depth beneath his upper
tunnel. which is in sixty feet. He is
also making arrangements which, II
carried through will mean q mill be-
fore Christmas.
On the -Four M lease from which the
high grade shipment was made, they
are in eighty feet with the drift, at
which point shaft was sunk which
is about thirty feet deep on the ledge,
at which depth the ledge shows con-
siderable width and the values still in
crease This shaft will be continued
to depth of fifty feet where heading
will be turned and levels run.
On the Parks lease, the tunnel is In
about eighty-five feet and quartz which
pans we'll has been encountered. rms
tunnel is being driven for the purpose
of cutting the intersection OF the
lodges, which ought to be done within
the next one hundred feet
On the Mccoy lease, the ledge is
from six to eight feet wide and runs
about $1,000 and is showing stronger
with every foot of work accomplished,
On the Dermety lease, the ledge has
lately been struck and pans well and
should run from SIS to $25 dollars and
with little more work the intersec-
tion of the lodges will be encountered
and Mr.. Dermety is rushing his work
with this in view.
On the Curley lease, the tunnel is in
about twenty-five feet and quantity
of ore has been uncovered showing
free gold in number of places and
the ledge, which is two feet wide in
the face of the tunnel, is gaining width
with every round of shots.
In the Pavlak tunnel the casing of
the Pavlak ledge has been struck with
the tunnel in some $50 odd feet and,
as considerable moisture is in evil
dence, the ledge is expected to be cut
in the near future.
On the Pick and Shovel the values
still continue and more is expected to
be heard of this property in the near
future.
All in all, the conditions all over the
district and camp are looking very
! bright and encouraging. The CONNER
cial club is using considerable effort
to enhance the interests of the camp
and have, through its efforts, secured
from the U. S. government a mail
route to Three. Creek, which James
Cameron has secured at $4,000 per
year. This will be of considerable
benefit to those in the district and also
to those on the outside as it guaran-
tees that mail will reach the camp
three times week.
Arrangements are also on foot
whereby a wagon road of the right
kind will soon be started and shortly
completed along the best route deter
mined by competent engineers.
An advertising campaign is also un-
der way and 1t is expected that one of
the best representatives of the camp
will be sent to the United States Min
ing Congress which meets in Los
Angeles some time in the near future,
where Jarbidge opportunities and pos
siblities will be told with the truth
that it deserves.
