gold ore, an oxidized iron-steined

often found. In fact this ore shows
that free gold and native silver can

owners shows their abiding faith in

Good Mail Service.
The mail service brings the mail
three times a week from Twin Fails
via Jarbidge. Within three miles is
long distance telephone to the outer
world, and about six miles away
wireless station is in operation. Sew
eral fine springs supply the camp with
pure water.
The only drawback If you can call
it by that name. is lack OF timber. 1t
is hardly believed, however, that much
timber will be required In the mines,
at least at present. The question or
treatment of ore is easily solved With
in three miles. on the Bruneau river
an electric power plant can be put in
that will operate treating plants The
rapids of the river can be utilized at
comparatively small cost and power
transmitted throughout the district.

Three miles from Ivada, at the new
town OF Rowland. everything is moving
along encouragingly. a store, assay
office, saloon, etc, are moving in, and
the prospect for growth and perman-
ency is bright. This town is on the
road from Mountain Home to Elko.
Within a stones throw from this
town there is a very large porphyry
dyke located and owned by Bell &
Day. with thousands OF tons of pOr-
phyritic quartz that so far sampled,
averages S2.S0 in gold per ton
The ledge is not over 200 feet from
the river, which can be easily har-
messed at this point and the ore liter
ally quarried out and run into a mill.
One encouraging thing about the
whole camp here is, claim owners are
not extravagant in prices for claims.
They realize the timidity OF capital and
are willing in most cases to give work
ing bonds, without advance cash pay
ments. There is little or no oppor-
tunity to locate Lew ground, but splen-
did chances for capital to invest with
safety.
