For economical mining, condi-
tIons are almost ideal at Jarbidge.
There is plenty of wood for fuel
and mine timbers, unlimited water
for milling and power purposes,
and last but not least plenty of
good grade free milling ore The
values are about four-fiths in gold
and the balance silver and 1t occurs

LANDER COUNTY BUDGET

Austin is all wrought up over
the post Office and postmaster
question. This place was one of
those Offices where the term expir-
ed last fall and the appointment

The surveying corps running
lines for the Southern Pacific cut
off from the main line of the Cen
trail Pacific somewhere between
Palisade and Battle Mountain,
are now in the vicinity of lone about
fifty miles southwest of Austin. Un-
official reports from members of this
corps that the line running from
Battle Mountain (Argenta) is far
superior to that which has been
run from Palisade. The one from
Battle Mountain through Resse
River Valley has no grade of more
than ! per cent aud curves of low
degree. Should this line be tha
chosen one it places a new town at
Argenta at which point the Central
and Southern Pacific Railroads
would turn over their trains to
each other The lines would pass
close TO the canyon lead
inG to Hilltop Kimberly, MaysvilIe
and Lewis, resulting in a lower
haulage cast. At the southern end
of the valley it would result in a
town near to present Ledley and
materially reduce the cost of sup
plies to the ranchers down there.
, To offset these gains it would
mean the abandonment of the Me-
vada-Central, which employs about
sixteen men resident in Battle
Mountain and ss many more be-
tween that place and Austin, and an
office force in Austin. 1t would also
mean an increased cost of living in
Austin, for all supplies would have
to be freighted up the canyon.
Battle Mountain is in the grip of
light epidemic of measles. But
measles as rule seem to be harm
less if proper care is taken to pro-
tect the eyes
Who is to be night-watch? This
question is Of more importance to
Battle Mountain, than the appoint
ment of any OF the ambassadors
could possibly be. For over two
months, various candidates have
arisen and not a one is able to
comply with the conditions laid
down by the special statute govern
ing this case.

Through the efforts of the Jar
bidge Commercial Club, the county
Commissioners of Elko County have
cooperated with us to build the
road from Deeth to this camp and
the most of the travel will be on
this road in the future.
To the Commercial club of Jarbidge
is due the credit of making the
district what it is. The Club is COM
posed of men who came here when
the camp was first discovered. They
staked their all on the future of
the district and when the future
looked dark, they still boosted and
looked after the welfare of the
camp and today when their hopes
are about to be fulfilled they will
continue to boost what will event
ually be one of the best mining
camps Of the state.
Too much credit cannot be given
men of this type, men who go into
the wilderness, and face the hard
ships and privations with smile,
who overcome the greatest diff
culties that can arise and never
lose courage, who have had the
welfare Of their fellow creatures at
heart and malice toward none, to
these men we owe a debt Of graft
tude that it would be hard to re-
pay.
When the camp of Jarbidge was
first discovered there was Only
one road to the camp and it was
necessary to use pack mules for a
distance of Is miles over very bad
roads. Today we have a good road
from the Idaho side and one from
the Nevada side, so that access to
the camp is comparatively easy.
Three years ago the camp had a
dozen or mnre tents, today it has
some very substantial buildings; a
good school that has from 40 to so
pupils enrolled; three good Gener-
al Merchandise Stores; three assay
offices; two first class restaurants;
five hotels with good acconmoda-
tions, and the prices are not exces-
sive; and last but not least a good
city hall that they never had to use
as yet.
The water supply Of the camp is
good, being furnished by the noun
tains streams and the Jarbidge and
Bear Creek rivers These streams
will eventually furnish the power
for the mills and electric lights.
The latter to be installed in the
near future. e.
The health Of the camp is better
than any other in the state, only
one case of sickness and one death
reported in the last three years.
All these conditions and improve
ments are due to the ceaselcss
efforts Of the Commercial Club. At
the last meeting of the Club new
officers and directors we're elected,
they we're: F. L. Middleton, Presi-
dent; r S Silver, Vice President; ]
c Nelson. Treasurer; C r Strong,
Secretary. The Board of directors
are, Geo.W Winkler, Nm Menking,
George Strobel, j T Mccormick
and VIM Schopke.
These men will continue in the
path Of their predecessors for the
future improvements of the camp
and the welfare Of it's inhabitants.
