Jarbidge, Nevada, July rs, 1913.
To the Editor of The Miner:
A strike that gives promise of devel-
oping magnitude was made this week
on the Legitlmates. II was made by
an owner of an adjoining fraction who
unwittingly got well over on the lie
Ultimate claim when prospecting for
the extension of the latters vein. He
had been at work but few days when
he got big paintings in the loose drt
similar to that encountered when the
first strike was made on the Legiti-
mates. He discovered his mistake be-
fore he had thoroughly opened up the
vein, but Frank Middleton says that 1t
looks better and Is richer than where
the vein was first uncovered. At the
latter point the ore averages $33 across
3 feet The new discovery Is 400 feet
further down the mountain and IL the
same grads of ore Is continuous be-
tween the two points 1t means siz-
able and valuable ore shoot The
crosscut tunnel, which is being run by
the twin brothers, Jim and George
Crisp, and which will cut the vein at a
depth Of 100 feet under the original
discovery is now In 140 feet and
should get the vein In about IS feet
more.
Progress at Alphas.
AT the Alphas another station Is be-
ing cut in the lower tunnel about 30
fleet from its mouth. From here n
wlnze will be sunk on the ore and this
portion of the vein thoroughly proS-
pected A force will soon be put on
to push the intermediate tunnel east
into the mountain beyond the main
shaft. In the meantime carpenters
are dividing that portion of the shaft
between the two tunnels into two com
partments--one for ore and the other
for waste. The lower tunnel will be
the outlet for all ore and waste, both
from above and below. The new board
ing house Is finished and ready for
the furniture.
| Manager Johns of the Flake mine Is
pushing work on the raise from the
main tunnel to the drift from the shaft.
and the ore showing continues most
satisfactory. The distance between the
two points Is lis feet and 1t will not
take long to make the connection.
Nebraska Capitalists Come in.
More monied men are coming into
Jarbidge weekly, the latest being Dr.
Joshua DeVres and Attorney Frank
Dolezal, prominent citizens of Free
mont, Nebraska. DR.. DeVries was here
two years ago and says that the camr
is now on a more substantial basis
than it was at that time Mr.. DoFeza
acknowledges that he had considerable
skepticism on his arrival, but he Jeff
almost as enthusiastic booster as
the doctor. Both gentlemen are heav'
lily interested in the Bluster and az =
result of their examination they en-
nounce that they and their friends Will
put a good many more thousands into
the company.
| Veteran Miner Se.s Good Things.
d. B. Parks of Portland, Ore, atlt
Ben S. Tracy, the original locator l"l
the great Elko Prince and Eastern
Star mines at Gold Circle, are also lale
ARRIVALS. The former, who is interest
ed with Theodore Parks in a fine prop
eryt in Tennessee Gulch. has followed
the camps from the days of 10 i'f
Leadville and says that he has never
seen a better showing for the devel'
opment than in this camp. Mr. Tracy
is also enthusiastic and he has giyer
proof that he knows a good thing wher
he sees it.
Mining Notes.
A. J. Tucker cut the vein In his
crosscut tunnel on the Columbnt
group at Jack Hole Tuesday. The
tunnel is in "a feet and gains deptf
of 80 feet on the vein, or nearly foa
for foot. Tire ore Is a sugar quart,
and pans better than near the surface
though assays from the latter Wen
from $14 to s97 ton.
Chas. j. Nelson has put two shlff!
on the crosscut tunnel which is t
open up the vein ON the Pick am
Shovel group, and the work will b
vigorously pushed.
Robert Harrington left Monday TO-
the Black Cat group, at the mouth ,
Fox creek and the Jarbidge river. II
VI, q ,,,a ia a coptra ut with w TT Hud
son, the owner of the group. to driv
Ia tunnel 200 feet, and for his pay vii
take quarter inter est in the prop
erty. The tunnel is now in 100 fee
and when the 300fo OF point Is reach
ed will gain depth Of 800 feet on tn
vein--a fact that proves the mountain
is somewhat steep.
