WORK BEGUN AT JARRIDGE.
Mining Engineer Says Ore Runs very
High in Values and There Are
Many Well Defined Veins.

that good, reliable and efficient min
ing men are on the ground and are
prepared to pursue campaign of de-
velopment along scientific lines, is
the assertion of G.. Ray Boggs, the
well-known mining engineer of Boise,
who returned recently from the
newly discovered camp after two
weeks inspection of the entire dis
trict Mr. Boggs stated he went there
to see see just what there was to the
camp and he was surprised to learn
that it had taken on the appearance
of live and permanent district with
everyone having interests there pre-
pared to work along sane lines.
"Jarbidge," said the young engi-
neer, lis a typical mining camp of the
real boom Nevada camp order. There
are about 200 people there now, with
many going in every day 1t is very
easy to get accommodations, as there
are hotels and restaurants, the prices
not being out of reason, as one would
generally expect
Active mining has been started on
the Bourne claims. They have al
ready prosecuted a 1O-foot vein on
the 75-foot level. The low grade
ore averages SIS a ton and there is
no end of it. This is certainly a good
proposition, and they are doing good
work on it. On the hanging wall
a chute of high grade ore has been
struck which runs in value from
$1,000 to $4,000. There is a great
deal of free gold in this and the ore
is being sacked and shipped to Salt
Lake.
There have been four leases let
on the Bourne group and all of the
leases are now on the ground with
their machinery and outfits and will
be working full blast on or about
April /. These leases are held by
reputable mining men of Utah and
Idaho. Engineers have been all over
the ground for the interests which
control the leases and some good re-
suits should be obtained from them
after work is started.
ION the Pavlak property, owned by
the Jarbidge Pavlak Mining company
a cross-cut has been started to tap the
vein on the 4OO-foot level. Five leases
have been let on this property to re-
liable mining men who have started
work already.

ton than the Bourne group. 1t has
well defined lead which can be
traced for two miles. l took sam
pies on the Pavlak ore chute which
ran from S35 to $3.50 per ton. The
ore is in great quantity and as it ha:
a we'll defined vein. it should be one
of the greatest properties in the camp
There have been numerous examina
lions made on this group and all have
been favorable to this property. 1t il
safe to say that the Bourne and Paw
lax properties will be the best in thu
district.

stands a big chance to make a bil

zone of the good signs in connec
ton with the district is that enormou
prices are not being asked for pros

Nevada camps in this respect an
shows that the camp has started on

There are a number of other bi
prospects reporting big discoveries
especially in Taylor's Pocket, whic
look very good and will probably Dc
velop into big things. Smith & Hoove
of Twin Falls have a five-foot vel
there which assays S65 to the ton.
