Jsrbridge a Camp of LOw-Grade Ores.

Jarbridge now has thirty active com panies, upward of 300 men working for wages, and not less than 1000 men within a radius of eight miles of the camp, according to c. D. de Witt, who is spending few days in Salt Lake.
 "The phenomenally rich surface ore first struck in camp attracted an ele- ment which is drawn by DO other mag net, but now much of that has disap- peared and the camp has settled down to big low-grade proposition, and yet now and then very rich ore is encoun- tered" said Mir. De Witt. "But the permanency of the camp depends in it's widespread milling ore bodies. In fact, that is what makes all great camps.
 "We have had some big men in there the past few months. Among them a United States mineralogist, who recently completed his observa- tions of the camp for the Federal Gov ernment. On leaving, he said: 'I have made good many reports on mining camps, but the Jarbridge re- port will be the most favorable I ever sent in
 Nearly every foot of ground has been located within eight miles of Jar bridge. Every little spring found in the valleys is the site for a busy little camp. Hundreds of men are working for themselves, or are grubstaked by others.
 "A unique feature of this bustling mining camp is the fact that there is not saloon in the place. The town is on the forest reserve. Elko citizens are about to build a road into Jar bridge from the south. The camp needs most of sll a telephone, and the Bell people are stringing lines from Rogerson.
 About thirty-five men are at work on the Pavlak. The principal work ings is 435 it. crosscut tunnel, which will give foot for foot vertical depth on the rich ore ledge expored above by forty foot shaft. Morrison & Moffit have 300-foot drift on the vein showing eighty feet of ore. They are sinking a fifty-foot winze on high grade stuff. Their tunnel has a four foot face of 45S ore. They have four inch streak giving of 12OOS rock. A shipment was recently sent to Salt Lake which netted 4lOS ton. It cost 65s ton to get it hauled over the seventy-mile road to Rogerson, the nearest railway point. There are now six leaser outfits working on the Paw lak. Graders are at work fixing the site for the l50-ton Huntington mill, which is now on the way to camp. In order to get the heavy parts over the rough road from Rim Rocks to camp much road construction will be done immediately, as the mill will be sent up next month.
 "Clark & Fletcher are driving a 350- | foot tunnel on the Bourn claim. I un- derstand they have encountered a lot of good milling ore and are taking it | out. They have nearly a dozen men employed. Pick and Shovel property | is busy place with the men driving a | tunnel and sinking a shaft, both of | which are in ore. Occur d'Alene-Jar- bridge, at Craters, five miles away, is working a dozen men, and with grati- | flying results. MT. Fox of Twin Falls, | manager and superintendent, is get ting in eight tons of merchandise, | building cabins, and expects to work the property all winter. The McCor- mick Crater property has succeeded in interesting Gooding capital. A POO foot tunnel, making for the main ledge, has opened up forty feet of shipping | ore. Two and a half feet of this ore will run 3OOS. Some of it assays into the thousands. Mccoy Connors prop erty, where the original strike was made, has great deal of ore on the surface. I understand they recently sold controlling interest to New York capitalists and that extensive developments will soon be inaugurated.
 'Winkler & Benan's Success prop erty, near the Pavlak, has, I believe, the biggest showing in the camp. Wire gold has been found in the rock. Other rock shows as high as 3O,OOOS. The ground where the richest rock was discovered is plastered with claims four deep, and the matter is now being threshed out in the Elko courts. I hear it will be carried to the GtInrorno Gnr,rt i -.o.....-.-. rI,I- l
