face, Say Miners.

Three prominent operators OF Jar
bidge district arrived in this city yes
terday, bearing personal testimony
and material evidence that Jarbidge
has been not only knocked, but that
it has been sorely msligned-thatt the
camp with meager Development is
much more than fulfilling the prom
Use of its surface si,owings. The tri-
umvirate Of Jarbidge boosters, loaded
with gripsful Of nigh grade and a
strong repertoire of strike tales. in
cludes Sidney Coburn, manager OF the
JarDidge favlaK company: FRANK KID
die. principal owner OF the Riddle lease
on the Pavlak property, and Theodore
Park. who owns large interests in the
camp.
The showings thus far made which 60
farthest toward proving the camp are
in the Riddle lease and in the Four NJ
lease. both on the pavlak group. The
Four NJ lease. with a depth of 12O
feet on the vein. has from Is inches to
three OF high-grade rock. while
the Riddle lease, at the depth of 21O
feet. has crOsscut eight and half feet
Of ore which averages $15.95 a ton
clear across. In that body of ore is
streak about Ia inches of high
grade, and the ore that is sorted for
shipment runs from 1886 to $500
ton.
As an evidence of what is being ex-
emplified in the way of Improvement
with depth Mr.. Riddle cites the fact
that all that he had at the surface as
from a strong outcrop of barren quartz,
was an eight-inch streak of ore which
showed values OF S1.60 a ton. Another
evidence is found in the Pavlak COM
pany's shaft, which, started on two
feet of ore OF small values, at is feet
depth showed seven feet Of ore run
ming from 50 to 1864 a ton.
These results cause interest to be
centered in the Pavlak cOmpanys deep
tunnel, which is being driven to the
ledge from the level of the creek. That
tunnel. which is in now 100 feet; is
due to cut the ledge about 100 feet
further along, and IL the vein at the
additional depth thus attained shows
continued Improvement. II is believed
that IL will start a real boom Of min
ing activity in Jarbidge district.
Prospecting Brings strikes.
Since the snow has pretty well dis
appeared, there has been greatly in
creased activity in prospecting, re-
sulting in good surface strikes in va
riOus parts Of the district. Notable
among these are the recent strikes in
Mr.. Riddles Sunflower group Of claims,
south of the Pavlak, where two veins
show values of $50 to $500 ton; the
one in the Buster group, just above
the Pick and Shovel, where has been
opened four feet OF ore running better
than $500 a ton; and the one at the
Crater. where is a liberal showing Of
high grade. That the snow was a fac
tor to be dealt with late in the season
is shown by its having been necessary
70 shovel snow, on June p, when the
drift was started at the Crater strike.
Theodore Park is manager Of the
Rainbow Amazon company, which owns
one claim adjoining the Pavlak and
holds two leased blocks on the Paw
LAX. He is driving a tunnel 20 cut
the junCture of the main Pavlak vein
with another vein which courses
through the Amazon ground. The tun-
mel Is in 90 feet and has about $50
feet further to run to reach the OBJ
jective point. The tunnel is already
being driven on ore which shows some
values. Mr.. Park. Al. 6. Coburn and
associates are also Incorporating the
Good Luck group. one-haf mile south
Of the Pick and Shovel. which has an
excellent surface showing, and Park is
starting work on the Jarbidge Won
der. which adjoins the Good Luck on
the east.
