JARBIDGE Is A
SURE Conner
Repefts Show Good Values and
Active Work.
PAvLAK LEASES SHOW SOME
WONDERFUL ORE.
Well Known Mines Being Developed
BY Local Capitalists Gives Evidence
Of Coming Camp.

Company, returned Monday evening
from weeks visit at Jarbidge, and
was very much elated over the fine
shOwings, as the camp looks better to-
day than 1t ever has and little work
done on an yproperty soon proves the
value OF same and the truth OF the
statements made in the past two or
three months in regard to the future
Of the mines.
On the Pavlak property, the Four
M lease are working three shifts and
are in 65 feet with their tunnel, drift
Ing on the ledge. Analysis has DEM
Onstrated conclusively that the rich
ore which they are encountering is of
telluroid nature. On June LIST, work
was commenced on this lease, surface
showings assaying $4,000 per ton, ore
being struck assaying .$5,OOO.OO per
ton when the tunnel was In 80 feet and
when In so feet, ore assaying $4,000
per ton was encountered Mr.. Morris
and partners are highly elated over
their showings to date and feel very
sure that, as depth is obtained, very
great shOwings will be obtained. AS q
result Of their optimism, bet of a
case OF wine was made that by the
time their tunnel was in 40 feet fur
ther, ore would be struck running
$4,000 per ton. They now have sack
ed between $50 and 200 sacks OF 100 lb.
each, running from $3.50 per lb. up.
The Riddle lease, just below the
Four M lease. have four men working
and have cut the ledge at 20 feet, this
ledge being Z feet wide with feet Of
milling ore and 20 inches OF shipping
ore. They have just lately dropped to
the base of the creek to start a new
tunnel to gain all the depth possible
and are now within Jew feet of the
ledge.
The McCloy lease, on the Griffin
ledge, just above the Pavlak tunnel, is
In 21 feet, their vein being 4 feet 8
inches in width and running from
$500 to $23.00 per ton. They have at
present two men working but in the
very near future expect to increase
their force and, with 25 feet fore of
tunnel, they expect to encounter some
very rich ore.
Curley & Madison, just above the
McCloy lease, are sinking and after
finding the ledge showing good values,
have dropped to the lowest point on
their least to run tunnel which will
give them 218 feet depth.
The Parks lease on the Rainbow
Fraction are working two shifts on a
cross-cut tunnel and expect to strike
the ledge in a very short time They
have the portal of their tunnel we'll
timbered and are installing an ore
car and are also putting their black
smith shop into fine shape so that the
weather will not affect them in the
slightest degree. Mr.. Parks Is very
enthusiastic over his showings to date
and expects to make big strike at
any time.
The company's main tunnel is IN a
distance of 240 feet and the same cas-
ing is now being encountered which
was found in the Four M ledge and,
as this tunnel will gain the greatest
depth on the ledge Of any working in
camp, a great deal of interest is being
manifested and 1t Is possible that the
ledge will be struck shortly. Air pipes
are in the course of installation with
blower for the benefit of the miners
and work is expected to proceed more
rapidly.
The Jarbidge Buster Mining Com
pany's cross-cut tunnel on the Buster
property is In distance of 45 feet
They have cut through the first ledge,
known as the Taft ledge, which is from
8 to eject wide and general assays
from same average 1858. They ex-
pect to cut the main ledge. known as
the Pavlak, in about 35 days. They
have two shifts of miners working and
are rushing work with all possible
speed.
Kinkler and Bernanle on the Buster
claim, have one of the best showings
in the camp with the work they have
done to date and it is no trouble what
ever to secure some of the finest spec
linens In the camp and with more
work, which is expected to be started
shortly, this will no doubt prove a
bonanza.
On the Pick and Shovel, they are
working a full set of men on their
shaft and are drifting on the ledge.
Nelson Brothers, on the Sunflower
grnup, have found the ledge from
! which all the rich float came and as
| they are expected to begin operations
in a short time, this property Will nc
| doubt ma're a great showing.
Mr.. Mccoy expects to start work or
his crater property shortly and he, ir
conjunction with the Pavlak, expect'
to make shipment just as soon as
