The area comprising thoac districts dis-tricts is about thirty-live miles long and twenty-six miles wldo and covers about 1400 Hquare miles, It. lies in the northeastern north-eastern part of the region known ns the Nevada plateau, at a general elevation eleva-tion of about 6000 feet, and contains narls of two grand features of this western country the Great. Basin 611 the south and the Snake Ri'or valley on the north and the intcrvenlne: divide crosses its southern corners.

Discovered by Sheepherder. The first gold or discovered in the Jarbldge district Is reported to have been found In .1001 bv a sheep tender, but the discovery that led to the founding found-ing of the present camp and district wap made In 1900. and almost weekly up to the present time the discoveries havo continued. The developments aro dally proving moiv, encouraging and substantial, and the district as a whole is more than fulfilling the promise of its surface showings. Analyses of the ores aro given In detail, and It is of particular interest at the present time that In some of those anavlsea large percentages of potash hav been determined. deter-mined. The ores of the Contact district are almost wholly copper ores, but they contain con-tain also small amounts of silver and gold, and in some portions of the district dis-trict lead, manganese and zinc ores aro found. The early prospectors searched for gold, but Mr. Schrader describes a number of copper properties that have been opened sincn 1887. many of them having been operated on a rather large scale. With good railroad facilities which are promised in the near future, fu-ture, a new impetus will he gK'en to getting get-ting out. the ore Mineral deposits were known in the Jk Mounttaln district, as curly a 1S90. since which time work has been carried on there each year, though the district as a whole is still in the prospect stugc, Tho chief metal of this district Is coper, cop-er, and gold and silver are associated with it.
