JARBIDCf SHOWING FINE ORE.
High Grade Cut In the Flake and
Development Indicate Permanence.

Jarbidge, Nev-The richest ore SO
far found In Jarbidge was uncovered
on the Flake mine some eight weeks
ago by Harry Dilts and Jim Johns
| VINO, together with Hodge Bros, of
| Rruneau. Ida, and G. w. Searles of
Cripple Creek, own the property. The
512 feet from it's portal, at vertical
depth Of 800 feet.
| The high grade shoot was encoun-
tered in drift on the foot-wall Of
the vein, but six feet north of the tun-
mel. AS shown by development up to
| this time, the rich ore averages about
Is inches in width and, as Is usual
with high grade shoots, the values do
not run uniform. But the average is
very satisfactory.
Development Work on Property.
The high grade is not being mined
now, but the drift has been continued
alongside for distance of SO feet.
This drift, however, Is in mill ore that
| will 60 800 per ton. A winZe is also
being sunk on the edge of the rich
ore at a point where 1t was first
struck. This Wine is now down 30
| feet and exposes the high grade for
the entire distance. While, as indi-
Gated, 1t is not the intention to take
out the rich ore until later, yet in cut
| ting bitches for stulls while sinking
the winze, it has been necessary to
cut into the high grade shoot. In do
| ing this ton of the ore has been
| taken out and sacked and grab sam
pie from the different sacks gave as
say returns of 1894 per ton. This is
not so good as the returns of better
than $4,000 per ton which were OBJ
tanned some weeks ago, but it is won
derfully good for an average of the
body so far exposed.
A deal for large block of the treas
| ury stock of the Flake Mines COM
pany is being negotiated, the purchas-
er being B. D. Holcomb of Tacoma,
| WASH, who has been in camp for some
days. This will provide funds for
systematic development and blocking
out of the ore.
Success Shows Up Well.
The Success property has a splendid
showing and the making of one Of the
big mines of the Jarbidge district. The
main tunnel of the Success Is run on
the vein and is in $50 feet 1t is all
in ore except the first 30 feet, and for
60 feet between the two ore shoots.
The first ore shoot was struck 80
feet from the portal Of the tunnel and
Is $50 feet In length. At the 110-foot
point Wine was sunk to depth of
rs feet. This is on the hanging wall
and Is all in ore, with no foot-wall in
sight. An uprise of lis feet to the
surface was made at point $50 feet
from the tunnel mouth-also all in
ore. The average value Of the ore in
this 150-foot shoot, as opened up in
tunnel, winze and upraise, was trifle
better than SIT ton, according to the
report of r. M. Jones, an engineer
we'll and favorably known in Nevada.
From the 170-foot to the 230-foot
point in the tunnel the vein is prac-
tically barren, but at the latter point
another ore shoot was encountered
which has been proven up for dis
lance of nearly 200 feet. At the 200
foot point winze was sunk to
depth of IS feet, and IS feet further
in an uprise of 80 feet was made.
Close to the end of this shoot the vein
was cross-cut, showing an ore body Ia
feet and 10 inches in width, with
neither wall in sight. At the bottom
Of the Winze-237 feet in depth from
the surface-the vein was again cross
cut duu Iuc ore DOuy ucIc is IL lccl
wide. The character of the ore is
soft sugar quartz, easily mined and
milled Assays show that the aver
age value of the ore in this second
shoot is about $18 ton.
B. D. Holcomb of Tacoma, Wash,
and Superintendent Macauley of the
Mahogany group, who accompanied
the writer. declared that the Success
ore shoots were "the prettiest" they
had ever seen. When some of the ore
was later PANIED and the long string
of gold showed they were even more
enthusiastic.
Wingfield Interested.
! When George Wingfield and the
owners of the Buster and Success
groups failed to conclude the sale of
those properties, 1t was given out that
Wingfield had turned down. Jar
bidge. That such is not the case is
indicated from the statement that he
is once more operating In the camp
The property he is now working Is the
Jarbidge Gold, which adjoins the
Flake and has the extension of it's
