JARBIDGE, New, May 3l.--The Blus-
ter Consolidated company has put on a
force OF five men at the forks Of the
Jarbidge river and Pine creek. doing
necessary preliminary work (eNcavating
for bitches, etc) for developing their wa
ter supply, The company has one OF the
oldest and best rights In the Jarbidge
district and will have ample water for
both power and mill purposes President
Beadle will also soon put on force at
the mine to continue development The
Bluster now has s750ooo worth Of ore
blocked out and In sight. This figure
Is acknowledged by disinterested mining
men 10 he based on a very conservative
value per ton.
The Success COMPANY. whose property
adiolns the Buster. has let contract
Tor a ctosscut on the 400foot tunnel
level. This crosscut Is for the purpose
OF tapping the vein under the eighty
bve-foot Winze, which was sunk from the
upper tunnel In the bottom OF this
winze the ore body was crosscut and
shown to be eleven feet wide. while the
value OF the ore is greater than at any
other point in the Success mine whose
average ore values are acknowledged to
be excellent. This crosscut Will give
an additional depth of lis feet. and II
the values continue to Increase with
depth--or even hold their own-the worth
OF the mine Will be considerably aug
nlented

constantly and keeps accurate reports
of all developments. Thus the boys
know that. excluding the ore from. the
sensational high,grade body. they have
drifts and crosscuts that will return

The value OF the ore in this shoot was
computed carefully by the assay foot
method, used by engineers, and all ac-
cidental high-g grade assays were elimi-
mated In the reckoning.

One Of the best In this section is that
owned by the Jarbidge Altitude Mining
company, operated under bond by James
Mccoy. A high-grade shoot was found
for a distance, Of $50 feet and is from
eighteen to thirty inches wide. High
values are found all along and the en-

which is now in 800 feet. Two veins
have been opened up and each drifted on
for about twenty feet in both directions.
So far the values are only fair and 1t Is
figured that forty feet more will have
to be driven TO get under the rich shoot.
which will be tapped at a vertical depth
OF 300 feet Here the values should be
high again.
The True Fissure. owned by ]. T. Nc
Cormlck and associates. has sixty
foot tunnel which attalns depth of
thirty feet Assays across the vein for
eighteen inches show average values of
$3.50 per ton in gold The 200-foot tun-
mel, for which contract was recently let,
Will cut the vein 100 feet lower than
the present workings.
The Occur d'Alene- -Jarbidge company,
of which A. III. Fox is president has
group OF fifteen claims In the Crater
section. On the Windy vein a tunnel is
in 116 feet and for sixty-seven feet It
is in ore that will average about $50
feet. Another tunnel on the West vein
is In seventy feet. This vein is six feet
in width. with A streak of high grade
four TO SIX inches that in places goes
$1,000 a ton.
