FROM CAMP JARBIDGf

The outlook for Jarbidge is most
cheerful and cheerful IN the right
sense of the word, for it has the pros
pect OF being permanently started on
the highway for a good steady growth.

shew a period of wild-eattang, IN fact
il has been otherwise. It's growth has

that would discourage an ordinary
prospect: but Jarbidge could not be
downed. 1t had the real stuff, and
mining camp, like human being with
merit, cannot forever be kept in the
background.
So Jarbidge is coming 10 the front.

made its future absolutely sure.
