ORE At JARBRIDGE
Report of the New Discovery by
An Elko County Man Is
Highly Favorable

Frank II. Winter, Assemblyman from
Elko County, has written q letter 70
Frank Reber in Reno regarding conui'
t;ons a. Bruneau in the Jaroridge
country. who has permitted the Journai
TO make the following extracts. Inc
letter is dated at Rowland, December
10:
81 have been on the range, n am
lust in from the great diggings. fes'
the strike is q marvel. Gold aud teluri-
um. with some high grade much In
evidence, up to Sc, 900 a ton Immense
outcrops of milling ore in sight.
1T is no false alarm, for it is the real
thing and a big thing. My water
power, as granted by the State. is rum
ming parallel with the strike.
"a mill is on the way. Every pros
pector and mining man who has seen
and examined this wonderful discovery
is simply carried away. with the result
that Boise, Twin Falls and all Southern
Idaho is excited and has got first on the
ground and secured the most favorable
locations outside of what our Elk
crowd, including myself and Wells
friends, secured through first discovery.
1.-THE country is located extensively.
The strike is along a fve-mile outcrop,
which is rich. Occasionally free gold
is visible. but the main values are of
tellurium of the hessite form. the rich
values being in small, black specks dis.
seminated entirely through the rock.
The free gold is along the cleavage
lines.
"The predominant enclosing forma'
ton is quartz ~porphyry, or rather a zone
showing much crushing and alteration
with abundant evidence that great
chemical action has taken place when the
solutions p~ercolated through the shat
tered assured mass and thus displaced
portions of the dissolved rock and re.
placed them with silicates and the rich
and abundant precious metal values.
Zone thing is sure: The mineralizi-
ton is strong, aud of the sure aud per-
manent sort. The mineralIzsd zone Is
more than five miles long and, with de.
termined prospects, a couple OF miles
wide. But all the known zone. and
away beyond it, is located.
"The surrounding formation is CON-
pick. There are, in relief. rhyolite. por-
phyry. slate. conglomerate, basalt,
quartzite and granite with granitoids.
"The best entry from the south is by
way of Exc or Wells, to Tuscarora and
Gold Greek, via Rowlands. Rowland
is but IL miles from the strike. 1t is a
poor time to como in now, for there are
three feet of snow on the ground now.
lots more falling, and conditions are
liable to be Indictment up to the 10Th Of
April. That date will be ample to ven.
ture into the new Ell Dorado.
"Wo have 10, 900 horsepower in wster,
and millions of feet of good timber,
all conditions here are favorable for
great undertakings in the way of min
ing.
"Elko, Lander and Eureka Counties
will have the next great mining move
nent. We have the goods. Within
these three counties. including northern
Humboldt, are the strongest and great.
est mineral deposits of the West. They
nave merit, and are attracting the real
mining men.
"Buckhorn, Mill Canyon, Hilltop,
Austin, Bannock. Tuscarora, Gold Cir
Gle, National. and above all Bruneau
on the Jarbridge-all are 10 line for the
great real mining movement of all the
West this coming year. Quite a number
of people are camped at the ~Jarbridgt
now.
"Be prepared to move in here aboui
the first Of April. From present indi
cations it is going to be a whirl of 9
movement. Mining men from all oveI
the country have their representative
in motion for these gold fields"
