ing on a very prosperous look, over a
dozen of our citizens have automo-
biles. several of our latest Bonanza
kings have blOssOmed out with high
class machines and it is very prob
able that several others of our sue
cessful prospectors will soon be pur-
chasing gas wagons. Another sign OF
the prosperity of the camp is evil
denced by the big loads Of lumber be
ing brought into town every day from
the saw mill at Dave creek. This |
mill has a contract for the delivery OF
10000 feet of lumber this season. Our |
town is a long way from the railroad
but the trade is becoming OF sulllcl-
ent Importance to attract drummers
in most all lines of goods.
Most of the men we're laid Off from
the Long Hike mine when the pro-
perty management was turned over 10
| J. NJ. Means on the first of the month.
Mr. Means has been starting up the
work again as fast as he could get
it in line and now has all the levels
and faces going ahead, with about
sixty men at work. The veins are
wide so that most of the work is in
ore and as the ore is soft the progress
il rand. The ore bodies continue on
the different levels and the values are
holding out at the high averages.
There are some 5000 feet of develop
ment work in this mine on the four
levels. with the ore chute already OPP
ened from 400 to 500 feet long, and
with a width of six to thirty-siX feet.
The levels are about $50 feet apart;
this shows a great body of ore. the
value of the ore runs from SIS to $40
per ton. which with the large amount
OF ore already developed, easily places
this mine in the front ranks Of gold
mines in the whole country
{ Bill Cambridge says that he expects
to have a mine in his Golden Sunset
property, on Bear Foot mountain, that
f will give the Long Hike a close run
f for first place. He has a deal on
: with Montana parties, and with the
money to open it and develop it prop
erly. he believes that it will soon
make a great showing, as he has from
40 to so feet in width of vein matter
that shows gold in the pan all the
way across.
Molly Dufner's Surprise mine, up
n under Jarbidge Peak, is showing up
p more and better ore as he goes IN
on it, A panning of a piece Of ore
from this vein about the size OF a
. mans fist, showed a mass of fine gold
and several parties who saw the pan
- ming made were unanimous in estl-
: mating it to run at least $4,000 per ton
n. NJ. Muir has let contracts for
one hundred feet of work in the No
,, 2. No and No 8 tunnels on the
Success vein, and has also let con-
+. tract on the Pick and Shovel vein.
!, Another crOsscut tunnel has beer
started on the Starlight claim to GU
Z the vein about $50 feet southeas
Il Il from the lower tunnel Work is being
- pushed in both of these tunnels. Som'
- of the best showing ore has come from
~ this vein, with coarse gold in it, ant
= the highest average assay has beel
- obtained across six feet of ore tina
~ has been had from any mine in tn
40 camp.
ie ue tunnel on the Jarbidge Col
Il property is expected to cut the vel

The new tunnel on the Legitimat
q is going in rapidly. A blower and
lot of pipe have been brought in to b
n in readiness as soon as needed

DR.. r. A. Asbaugh, who was r.
Gently brought into camp by the Lon
Hike as mine doctor, has made vel
good impression with the people Of Il
camp.
lne camp got over the Fourt
without any accident. but the 9TH
day we had two in one day; Fol
machine broke loose coming dow
the Crippen grade and went off, b
fortunately landed against a tree b

one was seriously injured.
Several auto stages are runnil
between Twin Falls and Jarbidg
making the trip into Jarbidge in Oh
day and returning the next. Au
trucks made the trip from Twin Fal
with fast freight in two days.
