JAR RIDGE HAS
GOOD OUTLOOK
NUMEROUS PROPERTIES IN ELkO
COUNTY DISTRICT MAKING
GOOD SHOWINGS

The outlook for Jarbidge is most
cheerful and cheerful in the right
ense of the word, for IL mas the pros
pect of being permanently started o n
the highway for a good steady
growth. The early history of Jar
bidge does not show a period of Wild
eating; in fact it has been otherwise.
Its growth has been retarded and
slow; it has been held back by a
chain of circumstances that would
discourage an ordinary prospect, but
Jarbidge could not be downed; it
had the real stuff, and a mining
camp, like a human being with merit,
cannOt forever be kept in the back
ground.
So Jarbidge is coming to the front.
1t had its start about 1909, but it's
early development was slow, though
nov those who are interested are
glad that it was thus, for this slow
ness has made it's future absolutely
sure.
The Bluster company now has it's

a matter of pride this must be to the
owners who started without a dollar,

to the world that they had a real find,

ing from sunrise to sunset with their
own hands, and finally they induced
the Allis-Chalmers Machinery COM
pany to put up a mill for them and
to accept their notes as part payment
for it. These notes are AN paid,
and now the general manager Of the
Allis-ChalTtrs company, Mr.. Hansen
of Salt Lake, has sent for represen-
tatives of the Buster company to
consult with him in regard to build
ing a power plant and cyanide plant
to add to their mill. The cyanide
plant is needed because heads are
running about SIG. OF that they
are saving about $11.2O, the rest 60
ing into the tailings. This shows a
saving on matchmaking of 20 per

is located on the J~arbidge river and
the ore is sci down on an aerial
tram 3,4OO feet long, having a verti-
cal drop of LOO feet between the
terminals. The payroll of this COM
pany is now $1,000 per month,
which, however, will be reduced when
the extra work is completed, such as
road building, etc. Talk is we'll in
its place, but it is production that in
terests the layman, and Jarbidge is
delivering the goods as a steady pro-
Queer.
The Flake company has a quarter
of a million dollars worth of ore
above the tunnel level, which is
blocked out on three sides in a vein
three feet wide with an average val
lie of $50 per ton. This
has been trying to raise 10000 dur
ing the past year to build a mill, Of
fering generous inducements to in
vestors. But owing to depressed
financial conditions this effort has
proved a failure. But not daunted by
IlouulcS, JAMES johns, the
superintendent of the property, fitted
up a two h.. p. gasoline engine, using
a laboratory crusher and an assay
er's pulp grinder, which he bought
for SIS. With this crude
ment, and working on a high grade
streak below the tunnel level, he
look out 90 ounces of gold in six
days, which netted the company
$S4O. The laboratory grinder was
then worn out, which is not to be
wondered at, as they are merely
built for grinding assay samples.
encouraged by this showing, the
Flake company has now sem for a
three stamp mill and the machinery
is scheduled to arrive there on the
10Th OF August, when j. F.. O'Byrne
Will lake charge of the mill and per-
sonally see that the maximum of re-
covery is obtained by straight ANAL
samation. Mr.. O'Byrne returned
from the exposition Thursday and
has been cleaning up his work in
Elko preparatory to moving to Jar
bidge, where he plans IN LIVING CO.,
