Quite number OF Occur d'Alene
people are interested in Jarbidge, a
gold camp of unusual promise just
across the Idaho Nevada line and
about eighty miles from Twin Falls.
Recent development work has resulted
in several new strikes of great i'm
portance and it is now evident that
capital is at last taking hold of several
properties there of unusual merit. OF
the present situation in Jarbidge a
Tonopah correspondent of the Denver
Mining Record says;
Stamp Mill for Buster.
The Bluster Consolidated Mining
company build saw mill during the
winter and has gotten out the timber
! for the 10-stamp mill which they are
to erect on their property and the ma
chnery for which is coming in as fast
as it can be hauled. The Buster Is
one of the best developed properties in
Jarbidge, and has many thousands of
tons of ore blocked out that will aver
age between 81 and $15 a ton, and
from which a suitable mill can make
high extraction.
Deal on Success.
The Success mine, which adjoins
the Buster. is controlled by Charles
Nelson, one of the old-timers of the
camp, who has evidenced his faith by
persistent work on different properties
for many years, He now has deal
pending on the Success group with
some New York parties, and ii is be-
lieved that this will go through, and
that operations on the Success will be
resumed shortly. There IS a splendid
showing in the mine and ore has beea
opened up on three or four different
tunnel levels
Strike on Flick and Shovel.
The strike which was made during
the winter by McRea Escolon, VIII
liam Martin and Howell who are
leasing on the Pick and Shovel group,
gives promise of making into one OF
the biggest things in the camp.
shaft has been sunk to depth Of 50
feet, with drifts in both directions on
the vein for a distance Of so feet, and
all is in high grade ore 1t is be-
iieved that they have opened up the
vein from which has been thrown all
the rich float that from time to time
has been found in that vicinity. They
are also opening up the same vein on
the north end of the property
Rich ore in Flake,
The Flake mine has been steadily
developing for several years and pur-
ing all this time there has been no
period when splendid ore was not in
sight. The tunnel originally cut the
vein at a depth of about 800 feet, and
from this a Wine has been sunk,
which has followed high grade ore all
the way down. A drift on the hang
ing wall to the south has been run for
about 200 feet and a crosscut to the
footwall picked up a shoot of good
)re. This was followed on south for
4 distance of 40 feet, at which point
he vein faulted. The fault was fol-
owed into the HILL and the vein again
picked up, with every indication that
mother ore shoot will be opened up
,ery soon. A drift was also started
% the north on the footwall of the
'en, where it was opened up in the
,rosscut, and this is in a distance OF
ace Of fine ore, and it is getting big
;er and better with every round. This
S a continuation OF the rich ore
opened up by the crosscut, and If 1t
lolds it's size and value to the big
unnel will make a bonanze shoot.
Jarbidse Gold Mining Co.
The property of the Jarbidge Gold
lining company adjoins the Flake on
he north, and an option upon the
ontrol of the outstanding stock has
zen recently secured by Frank Mid
Teton, one of the old-timers Of the
istrlct. He has started work and is
utting in 100 shifts per month in an
ffort to find the pay streak, and from
he amount Of rich float that has been
ound. it is probable that good
aging mine can be opened up.
Long Hike Strike.
The Long Hike property, owned by
he Ilko-J arbldge Mining company
as one Of the best strikes that has
cen made during the winter. The tun
ell has been run along the vein dis
lnce of 205 feet and shows an ore
boot over 100 feet in length. the face
f the drift being in high grade ore.
his property lies above the town of
arbidge, and the vein is presumed to
e the extension of the one opened up
! the Flake mine.
Alpha Mine Running.
The alpha mine, which is owned by
Iorace Palmer, the son OF the late
otter Palmer Of Chicago, is working
0 men, and the mill is grinding
teadily on the ore. 1t is understood
hat the mill is making a very good
aving by amalgamation only, but II is
