JARB|OGE CAMP
HEAVY PRODUCER
ORE OF EXCELLENT GRADE is
EXPOSED ON SEVERAL
PROPERTIES

There is greater activity in Jar
bidge at the present time and the
prospects for the gold camp are
much better at present than at any
time in years, according to w. G..
Menking, who is In Salt Lake for a
few days on mining business. He
is accompanied by Mrs. Menking,
and they will return to Jarbidge
the first of next week, says the
Salt Lake Tribune.
An excellent showing Of free
milling gold ore has been opened
up on the long Hike property, con-
sisting of five claims. Four tun-
nels have been driven that have
demonstrated the ore shoot to be
at least $50 feet in height. The
No. 1 tunnel, also known as the
upper tunnel, has been driven In
for 200 feet, attaining $50 feet of
depth on the ledge in which gold
ore has been encountered running
$50 to the ton.
In the No. 2 tunnel, driven on
the ledge at an additional depth of
$50 feet, the same character of ore
has been encountered. This tunnel
is in about 400 feet. A winze has
been sunk to a depth of SO feet
from the tunnel level and a cross
cut driven toward the foot wall for
16 feet, with the breast of the
cross : cut showing high : grade
cfraal a of Nro o~I @I,1 ook;,n hr1ock
averaging $50 to the ton.
The No. 5 tunnel, which is in
400 feet, giving an additional depth
of $50 feet below the No. 2 tunnel,
has passed through ESQ feet of free
milling gold ore. The No. 4 tunnel
is $50 feet lower down the noun
tain side and will attain an addi-
tional depht of $50 feet on the YER
teal from the surface.
The ledge that is being opened
UP has lieer crosscut in two places
and averages 20 feet in width, with
Talpes showing where it has been
opened up by drilling for a width
of so feet. Recently George j..
Shoupe of Jarbidge has inter asteo

property, where a considerable ton
mage of free milling gold ore has
been blocked out ,on three sides.
The ore is being mined and treated
in a small mill.
On the Success property there is
in the neighborhood of $500 900
worth of gold ore blocked out. San
Francisco interests have taken an
option on this property also. 1t is
opened by two tunnels, which cut
the ore at a depth of about 45L

With the rapid development which
has been taking place in the mines

demand for more business houses
and the things which go with pros

G~oodsprings bids fair to become
a regular city. In fact, buildings
are being erected there as fast as
may be done for stores, saloons, a
hospital, a modern garage with ma.

probably not another camp making
growth which this pride of Clark
county is enjoying.

One OF the largest crowds to
witness a fistic contest in a local
pavilion attended the series of four
round events staged by Gus Rainier

enthusiasm throughout the entire
list of five events. The boys IN
each instance were we'll matched
and the fighting, which in several
instances ended in knockouts, was
fast and clean.
The main event of the show was

MINES AND MILLS OF TONOPAH ARE
MAKING THEIR NORMAL PRODUCTION

The importance of this develop
ment can hardly be grasped but II
brings a realization that the Murray
vein seems destined to equal, il
not outdo, the records established
by the Mizpah and Belmont veins
which in their own days brought
fame and prosperity to Tonopah
properties and mining men. 1t is
perhaps too much to expect that
veins of similar size, strength ana
value will be found in other prop
critics which are now undergoing
the process of development or arr
awaiting the necessary capital &c
inaugurate aggressive operations,
vet so many marvellous discoveries
nave been made during the course
of 16 years since Tonopah was dis
covered that no man may say when
the end of it all shall have been
or will be reached, nor can any
one predict with n degree of as
surance the zenith of Tonopah's pro-
ducing days.
Rescue Eula Strike
Following various rumors, the
management of the Rescue Eula
Mining company has issued the fol
lowing official report of the opera
tions to date since the discovery of
the new vein in its property:
The vein was cut in the north
cross-cut which was extended into
the Eula clai on the $50 level,
commonly known as the Eula CT 1ss-
cut. The strike is generally cas-
and west, with a dip to the north.
Drifting has taken place on this
vein towards the east, with a
double shift working, and at the
time of the present report 40 fee,
have been attained. The drift Is
in a continuous orebody, with ar
average width of five feet of ex~
cellent values. The first lot, milled
en- March 5, returned $3.50 per
ton, this ore coming from the point
at which the vein was cut, which
caused it to be more or less mixed
with waste which was broken Il
der the conditions incident to the
intersection of the vein. The sec
cd lot was milled last "Wednesday
and consisted of SO tons, which
gave returns higher than the firsr
lot. At the present time we are
breaking about Is tons pei day in
the drifting operations. A third lot,
which will be of higher grade than
the first two, owing to the consist
ent improvement in values in drift
