CAMP JARb|DGE
IS MAKING GOOD
EVIDENCE AT HAND THAT
EARLY PROMISE OF GREAT
VALUES WILL BE PROVEN AS
DEVELOPMENT PROGRESSES.

The publicity committee of the
j. rbidge Commercial Club, which
organization holds itself responsible
for all statements emanating there
from, have sent out the following
concerning present conditions and
progress in the northern gold pro-
ducing camp:
That the ore bodies of the Jar
bidge district are going to hold up
to the early promise in size and value
is being proven as development work
progresses on the different properties
now being opened up in the various
parts of the camp. Not that 1t Is to
be expected that the hot-air tales
promulgated in the early days of last
winter are to be realized-those
tales which started a wild stampede
and nearly killed a good mining camp
But the sober judgment of mining
men who early examined the camp
and predicted that it would in time
make a big gold-produeing camp is
being fully justified. To the practi-
cal mining man, Jarbidge never Of
fered any sensational evidence of
enormous values to be had for moth
ing he saw evidences of great wealth
to be obtained by the expenditure of
time and money by experienced min
ing men. That the camp is now
making good, slowly and surely,
there can no longer be any doubt.
From Jack Greek on the north to the
Fifth Crater. five miles south, and
from Full Greek to the east to Bear
Creek, three miles west, there are
now great deposits of ore opened up
that can be examined by any one and
which give solid and substantial
proof that the gold is here, and that
It is only a question of development
and reduction plants when a steady
flow of bullion will be sent Il from
Jarbidge.
A croseut from the tunnel on the
Big Ledge claim in Jack Greek has
shown s feet of ore that yields an
average assay value of $500 per ton.
Four miles south and 1000 feet high
er, and apparently IN the same vein,
on the Third Peak claim, there are
4 feet of ore that averages $40 per
ton. On the Bluster there is s feet
of ore that shows an average value
of $50 per ton. with 2 feet that will
run $500 per ton. On the An vein,
down on the Pavlak, they have I
feet of ore that averages $40 per
ton, with punches of high grade that
assay way up into the thousands.
In the Rainbow-Amazon tunnel there
are IL feet of ore that assays SIC
per ton. In the Clark-F1etcher tun-
mel on the North Star they have 16
feet of an ore body that by careful
sampling shows average values of
SIS per ton. Many other large bod
les of low grade and some smaller
bodies of high grade have already
been opened and development work
has hardly started in the camp.
The large mill of the Paylak COM
pany has been somewhat delayed by
bad roads and slow movement of
freight, but most of the material is
now on the ground and they will
very soon be able to get busy. They
have been hard at work preparing
the ground and the foundations. a
part of the work which takes time
and makes but little showing. They
will soon begin to put up the super
structure and then the mill will grow
rapidly. A large number of the tim
bers are framed ready to be set up.
