JARBIDGE AGAIN ATTRACTS
ATTENTION OF MINING MEN


w. C. Wright the well known miner
and prospeetor has departed for
Jarbidge. He received letter,
from Frank Benane, one of the old
timers in Jarbidge, conveying the in
formation that the northern Elko gold
camp is in better condition than ever
and that new developments are such
as to place Jarbidge in the front rank
of western gold mining districts. The
new developments, according to
Benane, on the Flakes, Long Hikes,
Buster, Success. Pick and Shovel
are such as to put all these properties
in the mine class. The properties in
question are arranging for installa-
tion of reduction plants, having sufii-
cient bodies of milling ores blocked
to Justify such work. The writer pre-
diets that from now on the district
will be a producer and that later and
other prospects are proving source
of new sensations in the way of gold
fields beyond anything known here
tofore. The district, as whole, is
pronounced in good condition and
with it quite bunch of new miners
have been put to work opening up
properties by the new capitalists who
are becoming interested in. the dis
trict. "Slim'' Wright says he will
camp there for the summer.

MASON VALLEY COPPER
MAN VISITS WINN[MU((A

Ed Greenwood, of the Greenwood
Copper company of the Mason Valley
district. was a visitor at Winnemucca
a few days ago. Greenwood is re-
markable illustration of the ups and
downs in mining. During the great
mining era of Arizona, prior to the
money panic of 1907, he was one of
the strong mining influences in that
territory. He gained great success,
but like many in that period Of tribu-
lation he met the enemy and became
theirs, but with persistence worthy
of a good cause, for over seven years,
through adversity, he pursued the
game through Phoebe, Rochester, Gold
Circle and other mining points with
ont success, and finally landed in Ma
son Valley, where on an option bond
he secured control of what is now
the Greenwood Copper, a property
proving itself equal as a copper mine
to any in that great copper district,
the peer of the great Bluestone and
Nevada Douglass mines.
The Greenwood Copper has, with
application of work proven great
deposit of high grade qaulity. The es-
sential point is that no matter how
adversely the fates may pursue man
for a time if he has grit and per
sistenee Nevada will afford him the
opportunity in more ways than one to
make the success which the thrifty
and energetic deserve and Greenwood
is gaining fortune through such quail
| tiles.
