have; and yet the handwriting on the
wall is more encouraging tuan ever.
The great camp of Jarbidge, it's wild
tn n length only equalled by the
persistency and pe%rtinacity of its
boosters; for seven long years they
have held to the cause without a wav-
err; without a single thought of aught
but ultimate success. And the pres
ent showings of ore reserves; of de-
veloped ore bodies, blocked out and
ready to be taken out and SEN to the
mills is abundant proof of the saga
city, the pre-knowledge, the abiding
faith of the prospector in what he
thinks and fully believes is a good
surface prospect.
~Jarbidge now has one mine with
twenty millions of measurable ore
opened up; other mines with lesser
millions opened up; mines with large
veins n good ore values which prom
ises soon to have the companion mil
ions opened up; prospects which
show wonderful promise of future ore
reserves, and miles of undeveloped
territory over all of which there are
many promising surface showings.
But, the war is on and there is no
money for the development of gold
mines; however, the mines will be
here and after the war they will help
to reimburse the country for its war
expenditures.
And in the meantime, we are going
ahead the best we can, just as we have
been doing in the past; we will work
our mines when we have the grub. we
will send our young men to the front,
we will boost the Red Cross work, we
will do all that we can as good loyal,
patriotic American citizens.
Last Monday evening we held our
first meeting of the Red Cross as a
regularly organized body, although we
had held meetings for several weeks in
a preparatory manner N trying to
stir up interest in the Red Cross
work, but our camp seems to be so
isolated, with its present DAD facili-
ties, which Elko county seems very
loath to try to better; hat we waited
for weeks for instructions, having
written to Red Cross headquarters in
Reno, and Washington, and then fl
nally t~elephOned to Elko. At last we
got enough to organize on, but at b
we are still completely in the dark as
to What we can do further except to
raise money, we know that will be
useful at any time. We have some
fine working stock in the organiza-
ton; the chairman, Mrs. Elsie S. Ken
KEEL, is a very enthusing leader in the
hall and an ideal worker on the out
side; our secretary, Mrs. Catherine B..
Knight, is a careful nOte-taker. a good
reader and rousing rustler for the
cause. Among the other hustlers for
the ~Jarbidge Red Cross, are Mrs. Min
ME Marquardson, Mrs. Daisy Lanigan.
Mrs. 1. r. Silver, and Miss Vivian Ken

meetings II from tag day on the

slider a very good showing for a Camp
with as little going on as there is here
and one that has beer practically shut
off from the outside for 6 months by
nearly impossible roads. We notice
in the issue of July 6 of the Indepen-
dent that Nevada is considerably be-
low her estimate proportion of Red
Cross funds n that the amount so
far subscribed is but about 25 cents
per capita. Jarbidge has already come
up with nearly one dollar per capita.
and we were not organized. had no
instructions and did not know what
to do, besides we had hardly heard of
the Red Cross week.
The people of the camp have turn
ed out and opened the roads, both to
the south and the north, so that they
are now passable for autos, trucks and
freight teams with ordinary loads:
but they are very rough and there is
a great amount of work to be done on
them before they will be in good con-
dition.
Dun mail ONES through from Rog-
erson in one day.
Autos come through from Twin
Falls in about eight hours
Auto trucks leave Twin Falls at
night and are here early the next
morning.
Autos can leave Elko n with a
little help over two snow drifts, get
to Pavlak in one day.
