Show interesting harbidge jarbidge far Jar bidge letter SPECIAL correspondence jarbidge harbidge Jar bidge elko co nev march 19 I 1 am sending you a sketch map showing the location of the jarbidge harbidge Jar bidge section and the trail and wagon road connections to the railroads both north and south also the location of the most prominent claims A person coming in here can take his choice of elko or twin falls and in either case will probably wish he had taken the other in a short time either will be good as the twin falls wagon road will have been built down through the great canyon of the east fork of the jarbidge harbidge Jar bidge river and down the rocky slope of jack hole and on into camp and the snow will be off the meadow creek summit and other passes on the elko road and stages will be run direct to the camp from both directions light wagons can now cross the east fork and come as far as the top of jack hole about five miles from camp the few wagons now in camp came in over the elko road or up the bruneau there are now quite a number of horses around the camp and the growing grass on the lower slopes begins to furnish some i feed for them and the there re will soon be an abundance of grass the town is growing rapidly two weeks ago there were about tents in the town now there are tents in jarbidge harbidge Jar bidge and about more scattered along the river banks for a mile below town and two and a half miles above with a few up in the hills with this number of tents it is safe to estimate the population at 1500 less than a dozen of these are women who have just begun to arrive the townsite proposition seems to have locked horns to some extent with the forest reserve but still town lot rights or leases have sold up to and A very few log cabins are going up but the forestry agent will not give permits to cut timber As there is not enough to go around it is hard work to get a permit deimit even for tent poles and fire wood however everyone seems to make out the big lodging tents and gambling tents feet will probably be replaced by board buildings as soon as the roads are open into the camp R region of high altitudes I 1 have often heard the remark about mexico that it is a country of magnificent distances I 1 would remark of this section that it is a country of magnificent elevations ft vat ions the bouque tunnel is less than one half miles from the river and is feet above it the pick and shovel shaft is a little over one half mile from the river and is 1180 feet up while jarbidge harbidge Jar bidge peak hardly one and a half miles from the town 0 of f jarbidge harbidge Jar bidge is feet above it the elevation of jarbidge harbidge Jar bidge is about feet the canyon of the east fork at rim rock is a sheer drop of feet the drop down into jack hole while not quite so abrupt is over feet the climb out of jarbidge harbidge Jar bidge to the summit going to deer creek in the elko trail is 1025 feet A good line of flying machines would be the real thing with which to take visitors to the mines automobiles may as well be left outside unless they can get that little Hub mobile so that itcan it can do better than camb the roof of a house and a queen ann roof at that the rush to east fork three weeks ago there wasa was a rush to the east fork of the jarbidge harbidge Jar bidge and robinson creek but most of the stam peders have returned A few however have pushed in farther east toward elk mountains last week there was another rush to the bruneau near the old mine in taylors pocket country just a few miles from rowland and there is talk of organizing another mining district there the meeting having been called for the of this inrush mining companies at work quite a number of companies have been organized on jarbidge harbidge Jar bidge properties some of them with large holdings but little development work is under way as yet although several have very good surface showings the north star mining company owns the original douque strike on the north star claim and has seventeen claims altogether the rhyolite dyke outcrops on the north star about sixty feet wide feet long and fifty feet high some rich spots are found in this cropping A tunnel is being run in under the bluff and is now is over ninety feet the rhyolite is filled with quartz and white talc and it is an easy matter to pick up ore showing fine colors of free gold to the eye but most of it pans much better than it looks some spots are quite rich and show a very long of gold in the pan from only a small sample and assays essays are obtained up to and the average can not be determined as they have not crosscut except in one place for about ten feet the arizona claim the next best showing property at present development is the arizona claim of davock and best known as the claim here a shaft has been sunk twenty five feet in a soft granular dyke and some very good bannings pann ings can be obtained from the dump this claim has been bonded and have another group of claims above the arizona upon which they are working now and from which they obtain some good ore the is south of the bourne in the next gulch and southeast of the is the pan claim with short tunnel also under bond this shows some gold still farther southeast and higher up on the hillside are the pick and shovel claims known as the escalon property but now owned by the twin falls jarbidge harbidge Jar bidge mining company here another rhyolite dyke outcrops similar to the bourne dyke and it also pans in places jarbidge harbidge bunker hill the bunker hill and sullivan claims of the jarbidge harbidge Jar bidge bunker hill mining company extend down the hill southwest from the pick and cross the river near pine creek the best showing on this group is at a point between the two streams where there is some very good ore southeast of the bourne and considerably above it are the vulcan claims of the jarbidge harbidge vulcan mining company and here gold can be obtained from surface roelf rock northeast of the bourne is the property of the jarbidge harbidge Jar bidge consolidated gold mining milling company consisting of the alice and several other claims on the alice they have found gold in the surface dirt ind and are industriously trenching drenching tren ching to find the source of this gold west from the bourne on the ridge between the jarbidge harbidge Jar bidge river and bear creek is the property of the belmont jarbidge harbidge Jar bidge mining company here they also have a rhyolite dyke and can get some gold they are running a tunnel from the bear creek side to cut the fhe ore chute the jarbidge harbidge Jar bidge chief next to the belmont is also working on the bear creek side the hilltop mining leasing and development company is pushing work on its several claims in order to obtain patents i bothem to them as these claims cover most of the townsite of jarbidge harbidge Jar bidge mineral area extending As the snow sett lesso that prospecting can be carried on up the river to the south gold values are being found for several miles some values are also being found on the upper part of deer creek this shows quite an extent of territory that gives promise of future development the mineral belt seems to be confined to the porphyry and rhyolite and the ore occurs in those rhyolite dykes which have considerable quartz the gold occurs mostly free near the surface there is also some silver and the richer ore has a small amount of telluride this rich ore when blistered shows more silver than gold the probabilities are that with depth the ores will become sulphides sulp hides which is a promising outlook as it would be a guarantee of greater permanency of values WINTHROP W FISK the bunker hill mining company of af
