JARBIDGE, Nev-The camp is put
ting on every day more showing of
activity and prosperity, more men are
being put to mork on the different
mines every day, and there are now
about 200 at work on payrolls of the
district, which is considerably more
men than have been at work at any
other time for over four years This
number of employed means the dis
tribution of considerable money every
month and gives a chance for those
who have claims in the camp to get
out and do some real prospecting work
on their claims, which has already re-
suited in the discovery Of several very
good new showings of ore and it is ex
pected that there will be many more
before the season is passed. The lat
est strike has been found on ground
situated on the ridge just north of
Gorge gulch and about 1000 feet east

by Mr.. Martin on ground belonging to
Harrington and Bennett fine vein
has been opened and some very good
samples of free gold ore have been
exhibited from il. The Dufner strike

show up in very promising condition.
