CONDITIONS AT JARBIDGE.
Mill on the Fletcher Lease Complet-
ed and Operating.

]. A. Carmichael, a we'll known
metallurgist who was with the Ohio
Copper company for some time. has
recently returned from Jarbidge. He
was in the camp on professional bust
ness and had charge of installing the
mill on the Fletcher lease, which is
now completed and operating. This
and the Pavlak mills are the only two
plants in the camp at present. the
Fletcher mill having a capacity of
approximately fifty tons of ore daily.
The Pavlak plant is larger and can
treat about double the amount of ore
that will be handled by the Fletcher
plant.
The Fletcher lease is on the
Bourne ground, which has the best
showing in the entire group, which
Wingfeld endeavored to purchase,
but there is a much larger tonnage

FIGHTING PEACE.

Our friends, the Irish, according to
history and trodition, dearly love a
fight. Therefore it is quite natural
that tehy should oppose the arbitra-
ton treaty with Great Britain. But,
for all that, one wonders that the
Idish being about to get home rule
should thus declare their determine
tion to protract the ancient enmity.
The peace idea has taken possession
of the world. War is foolish as well
as cruel. 1t is a terrible waste of
life and money. Anything which
even tends to discourage war is to be
approved. And even as we say this
we may rest assured that there will
be issues that cannot be arbitrated
save by war. Arbitration treaties
are given the lie by big navies and
standing armies. Still, the effort to
make resort to wal an indefinitely
remote possibility, is a praseworthy
one. The senate will be distinctly
out of sympathy with the people If 1t
refuses to support President Taft's
peace program.

developed, and at present it gives
promise of being a producer for a
number of years to come. On the
Bourne crop is where the first dis
coveries of the Jarbidge section were
made, and the finding of gold on this
property caused the rush into those
diggings a couple of years ago
Mr.. Carmichael was very favorab-
ly impressed with the camp as a
whole. He say that an
impression has gone out that the
camp was a low grade proposition.
This Is not true. While all the ore
will have to be treated in the camp,
this is because OF the distance from
the railroad, and the fact that both
the Deeth and Great Falls wagon
routes traverse a very rugged coun-
try. The ore of the camp is said to
average something like $13 in gold
to the ton, which would make it a
fair grade of ore to ship direct If
haulage conditions would permit.
There is much significance attach
ed to the fact hat George Wingfeld
obtained an option on the extension
of the Buster group. He paid $10,-
600 down and agreed to pay $50 900
additional ONE time later. Wing
field has shown his faith in the camp
and would have taken the Buster
group, but for the fact that the own
ers of these our claims asked a much
higher price than he paid for the ex-
tension of this ledge in adjoining
ground.
There are a number of men who
have hung on to their properties for
the last two years. They hold their
properties at fabulously high prices,
considering the fact that the camp is
still in its first prospective stages.
They haven't enough money to de-
velop the ground properly and until
they get out OF reduce their prices
the camp will be held in check.-Salt
Lake Telegram.

Plans on Foot to Bring Into
the District "Brick" De-
veraux's Aggregation
PICKED NINE WILL MEET THEM
TWO GAMES TO BIZ PLAYED AT
ELY, THE FIRST ON NEXT
SATURDAY AND SECOND ON
SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

Ely will probably see some good
ball on next Saturday and Sunday;
the plans under way go through; and
there seems to be no doubt that they
will. II is on the cards to bring into
the district a picked nine of the
Union league, which has been play
ing through Idaho. Utah and Mon
tana. William ("Brick") D~everaux.
the we'll known ball tosser, is at the
head of the aggregation. and is
taking his team through to Califor-
MIA, and expects &c play a series of
games in the southern part of that
state.
n. II. Chaplin of the Ely Record re-
turned during the week from a trip
to Salt Lake, and while there met
E. f. Vanderhoef of Copper Flat. who
is out on a business and pleasure trip
combined. Mr.. Vanderhoef con-
fded to Mr.. Chaplin the information
that the Union league boys would
stop over in Ely on their westward
trip II there were a guarantee OF $500
made to them. II is most possible
that the guarantee will be raised. al
though time has not yet been had in
which to start the movement.
The team to meet the Salt Lakers
will be composed of the pick of the
ball players in the district from Cop
per Flat to McGill; and will no doubt
be a cracker jack nine, for everybody
Knows that there are some dandy
ball players among the three clubs.
Brick Deveraux Is n of the best
players in the west and the men he
has gathered together are the pick of
the Salt Lake and Boise City teams,
he has four great pitchers and two
hne catchers. and his proposition Is
to have two pitchers in all his games.
IL the Ely plan goes through there
VIII be two games played; one on
White Pine news weekly mining review. [volume] (East Ely, Nev.) 1910-1920, 1911-09-17

Saturday afternoon and the second
on the following day; next Saturday
and Sunday. And there is little
doubt as to the guarantee for the
reason that more than the sum of
$500 would be taken in at one of the
games alone. In Bricks crowd
of balltossers is Denning, Salt Lakes
star twirler. who is signed for the
Chicago club next year. Others are
'Heine' Spencer, left fielder from
the Salt Lake team; and Brooks,
catcher, and Harry Holloway, a speedy
twirler of Boise. The games will be
one of the greatest treats that could
be afforded the fans of the district.

The Reason Why Foam Always Ap.

The Reason Why Foam Always Ap.
pears White In Color.
When water or liquid of any color Is
violently agitated small bubbles OF
air are mixed up with II. and thus
foam is formed. and Its wilderness Is
due to the fact that when light passes
from one medium 10 another Of a diff
ferent refractive index II is always
reflected and this reflection may be
80 often repeated as TO render the mix
ture impervious TO light.
II Is. then. this frequency OF the re-
Elections OF the limiting surfaces of
air and water that renders foam
Opaque. and AZ each particle reflects
light in all directions so much light Is
reflected mat the mixture appears
white
To q similar cause is due the white
ness OF TRANSPARENT bodies when crush
ed to powder The separate particles
transmit light freely. but the re6ec-
tons al their surfaces are So numer-
Gus that the resulting effect Is white.
Thus glass when crushed Is white
powder and IL opaque. but when II Is
put under water II once more becomes
transparent. because the water fills up
the interstices between the particles
and the reflections are destroyed. Sal,
and snow are also common examples
Of this condition.
