RENO, Feb 11.-With all eyes
turned on Jarbidge, the sensation of
northern Nevada, and people from this
and the southern part of the state
daily leaving or going through Reno
en- route to the new camp, news of it is
of prime interest to mining men, al
though it may be only the annual Win
ter boom of Idaho
The other evening, according to
local mining man, forty persons from
Goldheld and its vicinity passed
through Reno on their way to the
northern camp, and several prominent
Reno mining men have announced
their intention to get in early on the
ground and be thereby in a position
to acquire good holdings.
SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 11.-C. e.
Smith, official recorder for the new
Jarbidge district in northern Nevada,
is a visitor in Salt Lake, being accom-
panied by George Winchler, who has
been associated with mining in Gold
field and other camps for number OF
years.
Mr.. Smith is in Salt Lake primarily
on business connected with the forma-
ton of the Jarbidge Hill Top Gold
Mining, Milling and Power company
which controls six claims i'll the new
gold fields. Mr.. Smith, like all others
who come from Jarbidge, is enthuslas-
tic in his praise of the new country !
and says Qne can hardly appear TO pe
at all conservative and tell of the real
wonders of the late discoveries in that
section. He believes that Jarbidge is
going to be one of the greatest gold
camps of all time, and bases his CON
clusions on the fact that the f1nds nave
not been confined to one or two loca-
tions in the camp, but that many are
in evidence, and that these hnds'
though very rich, show permanency
from surface indications, the ore belng
in well defined and regular formations
and not all 'bunchy."
The milling possibilities of the dls-
trict are also great and add materially
to the camps worth when permanency
is considered.
Mr.. Smith came out of the district
about two weeks ago, and reports tnat
at that time there were more than 2oo
men in the district, and he belleVes
that from the numbers going in OF late
there must be at least 800 persons
there by this time. He has recorded
already over 800 locations in Jarbidse
since the district was organized last
fall, and prior to this organization ne
saws, there We're probably as many
more locations recorded in the county
Within the next six weeks, Mr..
Smith SAYS. the road from Twin talls
to Jarbidge will have been finished,
including the building of bridges, ana
after that time stages will be run III
and out on a regular schedule.
1.-THE Bournes, the original locators
in the district" says Mr.. Smith, are
having a mill built in sections at TWln
Falls, and when it is completed they
will take it out and put it up at thclf
mine. There are four companies ac-
lively engaged in development work 81
the present time, these being the
Bourne, Paylock, Twin Falls-Jarpldge
DEVELOPMENT and the Hilltop. The ore
runs all the way from $500 to S5ooO a
ton. not including the high grade, ana
there are mountains of II.
Mr. Winchler says an old Goldheld
prospector or mining man would never
PASS by the Jarbdge country II ne
saw it, the formation in many ways
being similar to that or the oluer
camp, 1t is a very difficult district TO
get into, however, and for this reason
and the fact that those who nave pcSh
i'm the district were nearly all raIlch-
ers and not miners the district mas
never been discovered before.
For a number Of years, however rlcn
snecimens We're taken into NEARBY
towns. and there had always peeh
more or less speculation and WONDER
nent as to where they came troH''
