FROM JARBIoGE

idly becoming a condition where there
Is neither a sled nor a wagon road
and the camp Is still very short on
maiy supplies. Soon 1t will be a
question OF all hands turning out to
shovel out the entire road for wagons,
and then the mud and frost will make
hauling bad for another two months.
A new road located so that 1t will not
have all OF these bad features Is a posi-.
tive necessity for the camp and one
that will have to be met and complied
with this spring. Elko people are well
aware Of the conditions and they also
are very DESTROYS Of securing all the
Jarbidge trade which they can, and for
this purpose they have picked out a
route down the river to the state line
and then west to Rowland and thence
via Gold Greek and North Fork TO
Elko, which will give an ideal auto
road in the summer and will probably
be fair freight road during the win
ter. Twin Falls and Bull are both
interested in the matter of better road
connections with Jarbidge and 1t is al
most an assured thing that there will
be considerable road work done by
them as soon as the frost is out OF
the ground. The Elko County Com
missioners 1t is understood are already
to advertise for bids for the work on
their proposed new road. There will
be very large amount of heavy freight
in ginto Jarbidge this summer and the
best road will secure the most of the
business for the city with which 1t
makes connection.
Huge Fortunes
The thousands of feet of develop
ment work which has been done in the
mines of the district during the past
year has brought into sight millions in
value of n good grade of milling ore,
which has greatly stimulated the in
terest OF the investing public in the
mines and prospects of the Jarbidge
camp, and 1t is more than a conjec-
ture that there will be much more
work done the coming year than has
been done in the past twelve months
Besides the large bodies OF ore now
opened up will of necessity require
large reduction works in the near m.
ture, which means that there will have |
10 be large amount OF heavy ma
,hinery transported into camp. Also |
1 much larger number of men will be
which carries with 1t a de-
mand for large amount of supplies,
much Of which is produced by the
farmers around Elko, Twin Falls and
Bull. Jarbidge will furnish a good
market for a large part OF the prod
ucts of the ranches and a much bet |
ter market than one thousands of |
miles distant. The great possibilities |
o fthe Jarbidge Mining District are
but just being realized, in fact the |
of the district has but be- |
gun, while the development OF its vast
resources is but in it's first stages. |
The wonderful showings made by the
work done the past year have defin-
itely proven the future greatness Of !
the Jarbidge mines.
