Freight is Moving Into Jarbidge Re-
lieYing Bad Condition Of Affairs in
The Camp.

The most important developments of
the winter in the Camp is the recent
cutting of the vein in the new tunnel
of the Legitimate mine. The vein has
been crossed for a distance Of seven
feet and no wall encountered as yet.
Panning all the way across shows
some free gold in every pan. This is
highly encouraging and tends to prove
that the values in this mine extend
to depth as has been proven in the
case of several Of the other mines OF
the district.
In the early days of the camp it
was the usual cry ION the surface
shOwings are fine but how about the
depth, they may not go down" IF
there was anything to prove that the
values went to depth we would be
glad to buy in money" And many
like remarks. Now the results of the
past year have conclusively shown to
these doubling Thomases that the val
ues do go down and those who have
trict from the start are about to real
ize upon their faith. With one mine
showing twenty millions of dollars
worth of good milling ore with TWEEN
ty thousand feet of development work
and a half dozen mines with large
ore bodies already opened on several
levels there is little chance for any
further question as to the real and
ultimate value of the mines Of the
Jarbidge district
Several important DEVELOPMENTS
have been made on the working mines,
but they were already proven mines
and these new developments only
add to the amount of known ore in
in these mines. All of the mines have
had a hard time to keep going this
winter owing to the shortage of sup
plies The roads have been very
much worse this winter than hereto
fore, not only near Jarbidge but more
particularly around House creek, Ce-
dar creek and Devil creek. With the
new road to Bull built before another
winter it is confidently expected that
much of this road trouble will be
eliminated and that transportation
into Jarbidge will be much more regu-
lar and secure.
Our mail service has been much
worse this winter than it was when
we had ii coming over the impossible
submits to the south, although all
the time some small freight teams
and the passenger stages were COM
ing through right along. Several
times when the mail has failed to ar
rive or any part of it, there have been
teams come in and particular the
Market team with about two tons of
beef on it, and always the stage team
of Ernest Egan arrives with five, six
LOT 90
gage and express. Mr. Egan has been
our most regular arrival and it has
become a common saying well if the
mail does not come in, Egan is sure
anyway" and he has always come
through.
This has been quite a severe win
ter but there has always been roads
over which a driver with ambition
could get through Now the indica-
tons and the barometer seems to
show that the worst is over and that
the snow will soon be leaving so that
the roads can be worked on and i'm
proved that freight may again begin
to move toward the camp.
A volunteer fire department was
organized the other night and a chem
ical engine is to be purchased for the
protection of the many new buildings
which have gone up and which will
be erected in the near future, or as
soon as the lumber can be brought
into camp.
Winthrop w. Fisk has just received
the sad news that his son w. S.
Fisk had died in the hospital in Tono-
pah. Young Fisk was we'll known
and liked in this camp and around
Three creek and Bull. No particu-
lars have ben received at this time.
Do not come to Jarbidge looking for
work until the roads are open so that
supplies can be brought in. And do
not come anyway at this time unless
with some grub as everything is full
and food Of all kinds is very short.
