JARb|DGE IS A
REAL PRODUCER
Northern Nevada Camp
Gets Results During
War Period.

The Jarbidge mining district. lead
ing gold producing camp OF Nevada,
is one OF the younger mining camps
of the state, ore having been first dis
covered there in 1909. Ii has. how
ever. produced nearly two million dol
lars in gold. 1t continued to produce
steadily during the period of high war
prices. when most OF the other gold
camps of the country suspended oper-
ations. and for several years it has
produced more gold from gold ores
than any other camp in Nevada. The
camp is supplied with electric power
and light over a 75-mile line from
Thousand Springs. Idaho, on the
Snake river. The district is in north
eastern Nevada. in Elko county, near
the Idaho state line, in the rugged and
scenic Jarbidge mountains, which here
eliminate at an elevation OF 1900
feet and form a part of the high di-
vide between the Great Basin on the
south and Snake River valley on the |
north. The nearest railway station is |
Rigerson, Idaho, so miles to the north
east.
The gold is found in quartz-feldspar
veins that are contained in rhyolite, an
acidic volcanic rock of middle Terti-
airy age. which is here the country
rock and occurs in great extent and
thickness. Many OF the veins are cx-
tensive and some are productive to
depths of nearly 1000 feet.
