road and then watch Jarbidge grow
and ship the goldbullion..
The growth Of the district during
the past eight months has been very
little, nothing to what 1t should have
been. had there been adequate trans
portation facilities. The ore reserves
have been slightly augmented. a lit
tie new development has been &C
complished, few new strikes have
been made, but nothing to what
might have been expected from the
surface indications. The town OF
Jarbidge itself has been going back
ward. the population decreasing, the
number of workmen deplorably- less,
the stores running without stock, and
the mines all the time just on the
point OF closing down TO- lack Of
material and supplies. Several res
taurants and boarding houses have
had to close, and the businessmen
have had to figure pretty close to
even meet expenses.
Several new business enterprises
have made attempts to start but are
still waiting, a newspaper was a pos
sibility but 1t is probably fortunate
that it did not get started. Mr. Benoit

ola roads the past winter has been
about as near nothing as could be
well immaglned. the camp has been
on short rations. the mines have been
without supplies, our workmen have
had to walk out of camp for lack Of
work and lack Of food. capitalists who
desired to come into camp to start
work have had to turn back and wait
for better transportation facilities as
they could not get in here without en-
during considerable hardship and the
few who did brave the conditions and
come in here. have been unable to
start any work as there YVES no way
to get any supplies. The camp has

ing to be developed. but adequate
transportation facilities are the first
desideratum.
Considerable new buildings were
started last fall, but most of these
buildings are still unfinished for lack
of lumber. New enterprises were
promulgated, but these are still wait

DEEP SNOW AND BAD ROADS
HAMPER GROWTH Of JARBIDGE

the district covers an area of over Sc
square miles, with good prospects all
over 1t, and as yet with. only about
half a dozen mines with any amount
of development; and yet with won
derfully good assured future.
Anyone can figure for himself the
monetary advantages that are bound
to accrue from the production of the
Jarbidge district to the county, to the
business men who supply the camp
and to the transportation companies
which must handle the vast amount
of food supplies, mine supplies, mill
supplies, machinery, mine timbers,
lumber, etc, that will be used here
in the next decade
Jarbidge, to those who have been
here, has always held great promise
for the future, those who have not re-
manned have had to come back to
'the Land of Promise" and while
those who have remained on the
ground, have done the best they could
against great obstacles. they fully be-
lieve in the future of the district and
are alive not only to the possibilities
of the camp but are right up-todate
on state and national questions. One
of the leading features of the camp is
its Commercial club, which the past
winter has sent several valuable sug-
gestions to the state legislatures be-
sides sending few salient sugges-
tons to our representatives at Wash
! ington.
! Some of our boys were at the front
along the Mexican border and quite n
number of our brightest young men
were among the first to enlist upon
the first call for volunteers, and on
Registration Day We sent in a goodly
list of names and the slackers were
conspicuous by their absence.
And the ladies of the camp are ii
no way behind the men, they have or
ganized a Red Cross Chapter with q
large charter membership and more
coming in at every meeting. And
every meeting is a most enthusiastic
affair. The ladies of the camp car
always be counted on to do their hes
and make success of any public o.
patriotic occasion. And that the wo
men and children of the camp ar,
real workers Is fully evidenced by tn,
large number of little garden spot
which are already showing up greer
and some OF them already yielding
some green stuff for the table, al

Is not very encouraging for early pro

, Once more to return to the frs

Jarbldge. Nevada, June 81, 1917.
Jarbidge the wonderful" and the
beautiful has been considerably up
against II the past winter and spring;
the wonderful scenery has been
blanketed with great snow-drifts and
the beautiful canyons are now and
have been for weeks and it is expect
ed that they will continue for two
or three weeks more. to be roaring tor
rents of water, nearly If not quite
impossible, and whose raging cur
rents have washed out a: out all the
bridges along our roads and trails, as
well as materially changing the map
of our town.
With millions of dollars worth Of
ore blocked out in a few of the mines
of the district, and fine showings be-
ing opened up in other mines; with
numerous other prospects bonded to
parties who would be glad to be at
work; the camp seems destined to
languish in dullness and despair for
another season, unless some of our
outside official friends will get a hus-
tie on and finish a road into the camp
which will be a serviceable road at
all times of the year.
The Elkoro company with ore
enough already opened to keep a
mill producing for the next ten years,
and the Legitimate company with an
ore body rs feet wide opened on the
800 foot level. both wanting to build
mills, and neither of them able to get
in supplies to any more than barely
keep up very small amount of de-
velopment work.
A new road, and a good road is an
absolute necessity for the develop
ment of the district. The sooner this
road is built, the quicker will the
mines begin to produce the millions
in gold now locked in the quartz Of
our developed veins, and encourage
the further development of other mil
lions in those numerous prospects
which are scattered throughout the
Jarbidge mining district.
The prospectors of the camp have
done all that they could. they have
stayed with their prospects for the
past seven years and have opened
up numerous good bodies of ore, the!
have surveyed out routes for new
roads, they have subscribed thei
share of the money necessary to builC
new road, they have gone thei
side parties who will benefit from tn
growth and production of the camp [,
