Special TO The Tribune.
JARBIDGE, New, April 5.-The
most important deal in the history of
the Jarbidge district was consun-
mated during the week, when J; a.
Jess, representing the Potter Palmer
estate Of Chicago, purchased the con-
trolling interest in the Bluster Consoli-
dated Gold Mining company. The con
sideration paid was 100000 and there
is no one in this camp who doubts but
what this will prove to be splendid
bargain.
While the plans Of the new owners
arc not fully matured, it is definitely
known that largo mill will be erected
in the near future TO handle the ores
OF the Bluster and of Jarbidge prop
critics in general The Bluster is one
of the more thoroughly developed prop
critics of the camp, and while it has
no sensational high grade there is a
largo tonnage of free milling ore
blocked out that ranges in value from
$I5 to $50 gold per ton, with occa-
sional lenzes running as high as 500
per ton.
This is not the first venture of the
Palmer estate in the Jarbidge camp,
as it already is the owner of the Alpha
group, which it secured for $4,000
several weeks ago. and Mr.. Jess con-
tiuues TO Investigate the conditions Of
the camp, In which he has absolute
confidence.

Mines and Mnng-Activities in Ore Districts of Uta
LOOKING TO DEPTH
FOR NEW TONNAGE

Vice President James G. Berryhill Of
was Salt Lake visitor on Saturday,
being on route from the property i'll
the Yerington section Of Nevada. Mr..
Berryhill stated to The Tribune that
tho company was now engaged in an
interesting task and one full of i'm
portance to stockholders, in its deyel~
opment of the eighth level Of the Lud-
wig mine, The big incline shaft which
extends to the seventh level has been
continued for one third of its size to
the eighth level, and by raising the
management will bring the shaft from
the eighth to the seventh levels to it's
proper proportions, following which
will begin the development campaign
on the deeper lovel.
That the rich Ludwig ore bodies will
be found extending TO further depth
there can be no question, for this fact
has been demonstrated by winze driv-
ing from the seventh level, aud the
task of picking up the ore on the
eighth level by crosscuttlng from the
station should not be attended by any
difficulties or delays.
Mr.. Berryhill says that the man.
agemept was handicapped for brief
period lately by a breakdown at the
property in the largo compressor equip
ment, but this has been repaired speed
ily and conditions are back to normal
again. He was we'll satisfied with the
property in every way.

also passed through fifteen feet Of

Development work at this depth
shows that the ledge has fatteued per

ELECTRIC OUTPUT

III is now estimated that 12, o00, ,000. 900
horsepower is the combined electrical
output of the 1900 central stations in the

And that is not one-half OF the total
electrical power produced in the United

only public service companies and does
not include the great steam railroad and
