new LEASE OF LIFE
FOR CAMP JARBIDCE

Jarbidge. Nevada, July 90, 1913.
1t begins to look as if mining men
of capital have at last awakened to
the Importance of Jarbidge and the
opportunities for profitable invest
ment which are offered in this camp.
The first was Honore Palmer, of Chi
cago, who inherited large fortune
from his father, Potter Palmer, who
was man of national reputation. IL
one would attempt little humor he
might say that the son also has a ma
tional reputation, for he is one of the
principal owners of the great Nation
al mine at the camp of that name,
from which he has added greatly to
his fortune.
Mr.. Palmer, through his representa-
tives, is not only preparing for mining
and milling the ores of the Alpha
mine (his first Jarbidge purchaseJ,
but it is believed that before many
days he will be the owner of the
Bourne mine and MILL The title to
the Bourne property is rather compli-
Gated, but it should all be Strengthened
out within the next few weeks, and
Mr.. Palmer s negotiations for it's pur-
chase meet with success. The Bourne
and the Alpha could be worked to-
gether very nicely.
The second capitalist to evince his
continued confidence in Jarbidge Of
late is w. P. Anderson, of Cincinnati,
Ohio. Mr.. Anderson has been associat-
ed with Chas. J. Nelson in the Ari-
zona l. group for some months, but
this week he came from his eastern
home to make personal examination
OF the Arizona l. and several other
properties in which Mr.. Nelson is in
terested. So thoroughly pleased was
he that he not only made arrangements
to continue the development of the
Arizona LIS, but he has financed the
development of the Pick and Shovel
group, an option on the control of
which was recently secured by Mr..
Nelson.
In addition to the thousands he is in
vesting In those two properties, Mr..
Anderson, while in camp, bought a
good-sized block of trasury stock Of
the Success company, which will
finance operations on that property
for some time.
On the Arizona LIS the vein has been
cut in place in the upper tunnel and
for time at least the work of devel-
oPbicut VIII Dt ceULefeQ mere.
The Shovel claim of the Pick and
Shovel group, which has splendid
showing, will be developed by means
of crosscut tunnel, which starts on
the Panhandle claim. contract for
driving this tunnel 300 feet will be
let and work started at once.
The contract for the crosscut from
the 400 tunnel on the Success was
foha -
the vein. Another contract for driv-
ing it an additional so feet was at
once let and there is every reason for
confidence that the vein will be reach
ed before this distance is run. In ex-
amining the Success mine before he
bought all the treasury stock that was
offered him, Mr.. Anderson expressed
great surprise and pleasure over the
showing in the No. 2 oreshoot. 1t was
much better than he had been led to
believe from the reports sent him.
At the Flake the winze has been
sunk to depth of about 20 feet and
the ore showing continues excellent.
Owing to the difficulty of windlass-
ing below this depth work was dis
continued here and a raise started
from the 800 tunnel to connect with
At the Buckeye the vein in the low
er tunnel is widening. The quartz
has the same characteristics as in the
upper tunnel, but it is not so rich at
this time.
The tunnel being run on the vein of
the Pan claim is not in 3S feet. The
vein is getting somewhat wider and
the values as shown in the pan are
getting better clear across
The vein on the Little Devils was
cut this week in the lower crosscut
tunnel. At this point, though, the
ed to catch the high grade shoot open
ed up in the tunnel above.
1t is beginning to look lively again
new boarding house are up and it is
ready for the roof. In the mine the
men are cutting a station in which to
install the hoist. Superintendent Jess
went to Salt Lake City on Monday
and he is expected to return today in
company with H. L. Hollis, the con-
sulting engineer for Mr.. Palmer.
VIM. Corbridge, who is associated
with J. T. Mccormick in a group of
claims on Bearpaw mountain, was in
town early yesterday morning 1uil OF
excitement over the better showing
as he proceeds with development. At
the 50-foot point in the tunnel, which
attains a depth of 20 feet, there is
more quartz coming in and the whole
face pans well. From six-inch streak
Mr.. Corbridge brought samples which
pan long strings of coarse and fine
gold, indicating values of about 800
per ton. JAMES F. O'BRIEN.
