Camp Brighter Than Ever Before
in the History Of the Camp.

Mining camps are like any other in
duStry, they have their occasional ups
and downs, and the mining camp of
Jarb1dge has been active for some
tlme, but 1t now shows signs of an
activity that is destined to make it
one OF the surest of the producers fro
which Nevada has become famous,
says the Elko Free Press. The cheer
ful hum of activity is heard through
out the camp, new men are coming in
small groups to take up work on the
various claims, and several small
stamp mills are working in the camp.
The property of the North Star Min
ing and Milling company, limited, COW
ering group of twelve claims, known
as the Bourne group, was the original
discovery at Jarbidge. This property
z has been tied up by litigation for the
last two years, but arrangements have
been made between the litigants
whereby the property will be worked
again The mill will be repaired and
made suitable for the particular class
OF ores OF the CLAIMS, thus affecting a
large saving of the values. This will
probably include the addition of a
cyanide plant and willEMNan an addi-
tlonAi number of working men
This property, like many others, has
called forth great diversity of opin-
ion among mining men, many having
no faith in it, and others believing
firmly that it is "gilt edged.o When
the property formerly closed down
they were making shipments and it is
believed that the proper treatment of
the ores, and under economical hand
ling, the property can be put on a
paying basis. Work will start imme-
diately and will probably be continued
indefinitely as the litigation is appar-
emily ended permanently.
Attorney Williams of Elko, was call
ed to Salt Lake City to consult with
mining men there and he informs us
that the Bourne property will be TAX
en- over by group of capitalists and
the mill started. Mr.. Williams has rep
resented number of former employees
who filed a lien claim on the prop
erty
The Elko Jarbidge Gold Mining COM
pany, which has two claims is in
stalling small milling plant and will
soon put on more men. The Buster
and 0. K. claims, which are now un-
der option by San Francisco parties,
give every indication of proving to be
fine properties. This property reports
good strike, recently made, in their
second tunnel where a ledge was
found. Manager Marquardson, who is
In charge of the works, says that the
prospects are fine.
There was also a big strike on the |
Last Chance ground. This mine is
principally owned by Joe Taber of
Elko, and a number of Idaho men.
They have found a ledge which is
showing good values.
The Buster mill (ten stamp) is now
working in fine shape. They are now
employing big force of men and are
shipping bullion steadily.
The McRae lease on Pick and Shov- /
el ground, is installing a three-stamp /
mill which will be in operation within |
thirty days.
Benane and Charley have made a
strike on the Jarbidge Central.
The Flake people are installing a
mill. Joesph O'Byrne of
Elko, will have charge of the milling
operations. He is now in San Fran
cisco and will return in about ten
days.
From this report of the different
properties at Jarbfdge it will seem
that this camp has become a bullion
shipping camp which brings it to the
front In mining circles. Many OF the
old timers have felt that their faith
In Jarbidge was not misplaced, and
they were right, for the camp now
seems to be on permanent footing.
