JARBlDGE GOLD ORE.
Nevada Prospector Has Fine Speci
mems in Wallace.

William VanAlder, a prospector and
miner of Jarbidge, and among the
early arrivals in that Nevada camp, is
in Wallace for few DAYS. He has
many fine samples of free gold ore
from that camp and will exhibit them
here. They were displayed at Kellogg
recently and attracted much attention
Mr. VanAlder has lately been work.
ing at the Last Chance Recent sales
Of partially developed property at Jar
hdge at good figures, and the very
recent discovery of the best body of
high grade ore found in the camp at
800 feet depth, have brought Jarbtdge
into new prominence. The camp suf-
fered from undue booming in the be-
ginning, three years ago. Outsiders
lost confidence and it was simply up
to those who were there and believed
in the camp to make good. Much
work has been accomplished and good
results obtained in the past three
years largely through individual ef-
forts of miners and prospectors

Work Them.

1t is reported that August Heinze
will soon begin work on the Gettys-
burg Independence. a short distance
up Mill creek from Mullan. This group
covers the lower part Of the Chloride
or Morning and You Like hill and the
accepted theory for years has been
that the Morning and You-Like veins
come together on this ground. 1t has
already been quite extensively work
ed Kennedy Hanley operated there
for years. A year or SO ago under Mr..
Heinze's ownership, old upper work
done 90 or more years ago was enter
ed and the lead then passed through
was followed for some so feet. There
is said to- be 10 feet of concentrating
ore in the face of this, and the dump
showing distinctly as new from the
old portion Is practically all milling
ore This is in line for the You Like
ledge. In the early days, before deep
development, this property was rank
ed with the best on the hill.
The forest fire several years ago de-
stroyed the compressor and all out
side improvements.

LEASING SYSTEM IN
THE C0EUR O'ALENES
NOT PREVAILING HERE AS IN
OTHER CAMPS BUT
IMPORTANT.

Leasing in the Coeur d'Alenes has
some of the high grade Nevada camps
Cripple Creek and Clear Creek, Colo
districts and in many other of the
old and new silver and gold camps of
applies to old workings where individ-
ual miners stood Il chance to make
money and the peculiar conditions
prohibited company profit and often
involved the opening of new ground
At the present time there is quite
extensive operations under the leas-
ing system. Some of the lessees are
making good money according to ac-
cepted report, notably that on the old
Tyler workings, above the Bunker Hill
at Wardner, known as the Mcbride
lease, and that on the old Sierra New
ada. further over the Hill from Ward
There are also two leasing outfits
on old workings of the Stewart one
on the Bunker Hill and one on the old
Crown Point. Two groups are also
leasing on the Yankee Boy, re-
markable high grade silver property
on Big creek, in class to itself
among Occur d'AIeue mines. Engineer

the chiefly interested parties in one

Interested in the other.

fairly we'll developed lead silver prop
erty. It is said their lease involves
sinking 200 additional feet. Some
time ago Murphy and others had q
short lease on the property and res
port was to the effect that they made
good money Evidently they know the
ground. Here was an instance where
company failed to make profit and
leasers Immediately following put a
nice balance on the right side Of the
ledger.
The men employed on these leases
are said to number from 10 to 30 or
40 on leach.
There may be other leases in the
camp, and probably are where a few
men group together in a cooperative
way The system is nearly always
beneficial to the business interests OF

Dear Sir--As March / is the middle

with Il short resume of the company's

nual rate of 8 IL per cent on the pre-
ferred stock The company is now
paying 6 per cent on it's preferred
stock. These earnings We're made in
spite of the prevailing low price Of
lead, the company's main product,
due to the tariff agitation and to the
severest winter the Occur d'Alene
country has known in 80 years, there
having been almost a blizzard as late
as Easter Sunday

THE TALENT
COALCOMP ANY
LOCAL MEN HAVE GOOD SHOW
ING OF BLACK DIAMONDS.
HAVE RECENTLY INCORPORATED
Capital Stock is $4,000, and Com
pany Has Three-FOOt Vein of Coal
Five Miles From Talent and Ash
land.

The Talent Coal Company, a re-
Gently organized corporation with
Talent as its principal place of busi-
ness, bids fair to be one of the most
important factors in the development
of the Rogue river valley. The
company, which has recently been in
corporated, has been for some time
steadily at work developing a find of
coal on the north side of the Bear
creek valley.
The mine is back of the Van Dyke
place and when the water compelled
them to shut down work this fall
their tunnel had been driven 116
feet into the mountain and they had
three-foot vein of coal, 80 inches
of which is good blacksmith coal.
The purpose of Incorporation was so
that a limited amount of development
stock could be sold for the purchase
of machinery and 10 pay for contin-
uing the tunnel.
The mine is located back of the
Van Dyke place, about equidistant
from both Ashland and Talent, five
miles from each, and will mean a
solving of the fuel problem when it
becomes a producer of coal on COM
mercial lines.
The officers of the company are as
follows:
President-Emmett Beeson.
Vice-President- Vandersluis.
Secretary-E. B. Adamson.
Treasurer-Louis Brown.
