JARB|DGE THE BEAUTIFUL;
JARBIDGE THE WONDERFUL

The first part of the month of Oc-
tober was unusually stormy. as the
equinoxial storm period had been de
layed and had precipitated unusually
severe weather in our canyon for this
time OF the year. The mountain sides
were covered with snow and the roads
in the bottom were simply mire OF
mud. Hundreds OF tons OF freight were
held up at the depot in Deeth and as a
consequence there was much delay In
the work here in camp. But the good
weather was bound to come and 1t Is
now here. There is no place in this
whole magnificent country of ours
where any better weather can be ey-
pected during the Indian Summer than
In the Jarbidge canyon. The glorious
suniight-days, the luminous moonlight
nights. down in this Incompatible can
yon with its steep slopes. its rugged
rock walls and its dragged peaks,
where can one find anything to equal
IL in grandeur? Not in the Alps. Meth
er in the Himalaya. Few of our Amer
lean countrymen have been here to
take notice of and enjoy this unlimited
beauty, but those who have been here
do not fail to return and they send
their friends.
The writer Of this has been in many
parts OF the world and he feels perfect
confidence in saying that there are
few II any spots in the world that can
offer more points OF scenic beauty
than the Jarbidge canyon, and he Is
more than willing to recommend the
trip into Jarbidge from either the
north or the south to any American
citizen who wishes to enjoy to the fill
all the thrills that can possibly be put
into an auto ride of one hundred miles
level stretches where the car can be
run at its limit, canyons to go up and
down where the greatest care in run.
ming cannot keep the nerves from
tingling. the heart from almost stand.
Ing still, and every one in the car
wishing they were out walking; where
a slip of even foot or two would pre-.
cipitate the car off the grade with no
chance for stop short OF the river
z0t0 feet below.
From the submits that are crossed
to arrive at one beautiful camp one
can see unlimited distances in every
direction. across almost bottomless
canyons and over immense mountain
ranges to distant, almost obscured
mountain peaks In adjoining states.
This is Jarbidgo the Beautiful.
The most wonderful part is after one
arrives in the canyon and investigates
great mineral deposits already opened
in the hlllsides. One can walk along
Main street or even sit In his room
In the hotel and look at the dumps UP
on the side OF the mountain which
represent millions OF dollars worth OF
fine milling ore Right above the town
and in plain sight OF everyone. as a
cheerful reminder Of the good times to
como are the dumps OF one OF the
greatest mines In the whole country,
and tho future may prove that II is
the greatest gid mine OF the whole
American Continent There are ag.
srcgations and cancellations that
may have made records in the past
that VIII be hard to beat, but we have
lore mine with one immense ore

his is one Of the wonderful things Of
arbidga.
Besides this there IL the most won.
