SOME FACTS ABOUT JARB|DGE

A. L. Rinearson. mining
engineer who has been spending a
year in Jarbidge, writes under
date of April I'd that the camp is
fast coming to the front. They
now have more men steadily
employed in development work
than at any previous date in the
history of the district. One of the
mills is in operation, and several
will be treating ore within thirty
days. Some discoveries OF ore
have been made during the winter
and the mineral area of that section
has been proven up to greater
extent. He writes as follows:
eve are in possession of data
which leads us to believe that the
Jarbidge camp will be a great
producer Of gold. silver, some lead
and copper. The latter 10 found
on the west hill portion of the
district in an impure limestone.
II have been a year gathering
data for an economic and to-
biographical map of the district.
The map will be ready in thirty
days.
THE formation is rhyolite on
top of an ancient lake bed. The
rhyolite flow is the largest we have
any record of and is about 5000
feet thick. On top Of the Rhyolite
was q flow Of barren lava l0C to
200 feet thick. This barren lava
has eroded away for four mi les
east and three miles west Of the
top of the Jarbidge range of
mountains. This leaves bare a
mountain of rliyolite crossed and
recrossed with the gold bearing
veins. The rhyolite itself carries
a very large per cent of gold, which
is of the greatest Importance when
deep mining is concerned.
1.-THE town of Jarbidge is 5000
feet above sea level. The highest
peak Black Jumbo--is is IL, 200 feet
above the sea level. On the high
est peak prospector planted
discovery post and named the
claim the Golden Stairs"

SOLAR ECLIPSES

During the present year there

April 28 and will be total. 1t will
be visible in the United States,
with the exception of the far
north. 1t is to extend as far north
as line drawn through the cities
of Philadelphia. Milwaukee, Butte,

in Mexico and Central America
the path Of totality will extend from
Auckland, Australia, across the
Pacific ocean, almost to Central
America. At Richmond. Va, and
New Orleans the phenomenon will
occur either in part or wholly after
sunset, but Louisville is more

eclipse OF the sun for 1911 falls on
Oct. 22, and will be visible in the

THE WEIGHT and MEASURE LAW

Within the next week or te.. days
Prof. S. c. Dinsmore of the Ne
vada agricultural experiment
station will issue a circular letter
for the benefit Of the merchants
and e general consumers as well
Of the state explaining the technic-
al points of the weights and
measures bill. as introduced by
Ass embIyman Frank Mayors in the
last legislature, and which has
since become a law. Prof. Dins-
more has been preparing the
circular for the last two weeks
and has abolt completed his labors.
The letter will be very interest
ing to both the dealers and con-
Sun mers in that it goes in to
every little detail of the new law
which is intended to do away with
he misrepresentation of weights
of commodities sold to the general
public.
1t has beer discovered that the
new law will not effect goods that
are packed out of the state. This
means II at all commodities in cars
or packages need not be labeled
with the true weight if they have
been prepared and packed by a
foreign concern.
However, an exception is made
of butter snd fruits sold by the
basket. 1t is the intention of the
commission in charge to strictly
enfoce the provision relating to
the above mentioned articles
especially the selling of butter. All
rolls or packages of This dairy
product must be plainly marked
with the exact weight and aEy and
all violations will be followed By
a suit to enforce the law. Par
ticular attention will be paid to
the wood and coal industry. for the
new legislation calls for the
presentation Of n statement in
writing of the exact amount of
wood or coal delivered to a
purchaser who has contracted for
stated amount. This will mean
that in the future ton of coal
will weigh 1000, and that the day
of the short weight has passed.
The enforcement of the weights
and measures law will start on
June |, and on that date Pref.
Dinsmore and his assistants will be
preparei to take up their new
duties AS the bill carried an ap.
preparation of $4,000 for the next
two years, the money will be

tions to take Up his new duties.

CLARIFYING THE
INVESTMENT ATMOSPHERE

An aching tooth gives even a
strong man plenty of inconvenience
and il is constant reminder to
him that he has got to do some
thing for it. He may realize that
the act of having it pulled means
more pain TO him nevertheless he
ultimately faces the ordeal and has
the trouble removed.
The mining industry and the
mining investment business, thriv-
ing ani prosperous as they have
been, as figured from a meritor-
ious basi have nevertheless suffered
from sore. which at times has
bid fair to sap their vitality, says
the Denver Record. This snre has
been in the from of the unscrupu-
lous element which like parasite
has preyed and lived at the expense
of honest effort. designed to create
and provide actual revenue and
prof to those entitled to it.
The removal of the fakir pest
from mining has. perhaps. seemed
to hurt more than ever for the
time being, but the effect ulti-
mately can only be considered the
same as in the case of the painful
sore, which. has to be removed if
the lody would enjoy the full
benefits IF good health.
The Federal authorizes have been
active and have done good service
in ridding the mining investment
of The unscrupulous promoters of
the worthless mining stocks. The
magazines have conducted a ceasless
warfare, sometimes indiscrimi-
nately, against various kinds of
investment concerns. There has,
indeed. been a veritahle wholesale
onslaught, and such a constant
reminder of existing rottenness in
the investment business. that in
reality the public might be con-
strained to wonder if there is any
good to be found. if there are
really any mines which can be
made to produce and pay dividends
to the holders of the stock.
Bot the atmosphere As been clari-
fed The effect can only be con-
sidered beneficial and stimulating.
The bad tooth of the business has
been pulled. 1t takes merit now
to secure the interests of the
public. The fakir cannot exist
under the new conditions. The
manner in which the bad PROPOSE.
tions have been held up to the
public permits that public the bet
ter 20 discriminate. The gilt
edge and meritorious enterprise
stands out strongly in contrast.
And the public now requires to be
shown.
A good work has been done. and
it hurt during the ordeal. The
business is better for il takes to
heart the lesson which has been
taught.

total area burned over was only

was near Mallory Creek in Morrow

Look a Little Out.

| Tuesday evening, the 3lst, is Hal
| lowe'en OF course it is unnecessary
to remind the young folks about it,
for they have been planning all sorts
of amusements to appropriately
commemorate the occasion. There
will be parties OF various kinds and
enjoyment a plenty. OF the right sort
This is not what we want to talk
about.
In times past there has been
much complaint because of the I'M
necessary destruction of property by
the vicious pranks Of boys and
Young men. Fun is all right, and is
to be expected, but it should always
stop short when the destroying OF
property is suggested. However,
there has always been and likely al
ways will be a certain class of the
human family that have to be held
in check and their destructive pro-
pensities curbed, and the object OF
this is to give warning to this class
that their work will not be tolerated
this year. The marshal will have
sufficient deputies to assist him in
throwing in" every fellow caught
disturbing property and he shall
have to make good in damages all
property destroyed. Last year the
city was out considerable money in
the repair of property and they will
not stand for it again. Just keep
this little hint in mind. go ahead and
make night hideous with your noise,
but keep your hands OFF OF goods and
chattels either movable or station

plan involves the reclamation of
