Jarbridge Enthusiasm
OPERATIONS OF ONE BOURNE IN THIS LOCALITY FAIL
TO GO WELL WITH THE REPORTS OF FABULOUS
WEALTH IN GOLD AT THE NEW CAMP IN THE
HUMBOLDT RESERVE.
The faculty of seeing the newspa
per folks, handing them the story
the right way and garnering the col
umns of live reading matter which
fall to the man who knows how to
talk interestingly and earnestly, is
evidently strong in the makeup of
O. A. Bourne, discoverer of the re
ported immense values of the new
Jarbridge district.
Locally, newspapermen can attest
to the fact that Mr. Bourne knows
how to present the best side of those
enterprise® with which they have per
sonal knowledge of his connection in
this county. They gave him much
■pace and for a considerable time be
lieved that he was about to bring
forward a new mining and milling (
enterprise In close by territory which
would add materially to the annual
bullion output of White Pine. Ac
cording Mr. Bourne had their ear
and was given liberally of space
in aid of the general welfare of the
community.
Since identifying this Mr. Bourne
with the Bourne of Jarbridge fame,
however, Jarbridge looks to them a
trifle more misty than it did before.
"Them" refers to they who helped
boost Mr. Bourne’s project In the
vicinity of the Campbell property
north of McGill until the fact be
came apparrant that the gentleman
had run quite rampant. They are
not ready to say that at Jarbridge
there was recurrence of the Camp
bell vicinity microbe In the system of
Bourne, but neither are they ready
to affirm that there has been sufflci
ent lapse of time to eradicate mic
robe exaggeration entirely from
the system of the gentleman. And
so they are looking upon Jarbrldge
as a possibly big thing—Bourne may
have really nit a bonanza—bonanze,
the real 14 karat article, but they
want to see it before going on rec
ord.
Bourne was in this district two
years ago, and again last summer,
uwo years ago he located ground in
tne vicinity of the Campbell ranch,
did some work there and then turned
up in town with declaration that he
had made discovery of a great prop
erty. He brought samples with him
to prove his statements and asserted
that the rock made around $2,000 to
the ton, and some a great, great
deal higher, according to the findings
of the assayers. One Dig specimen is
still to be seen in a broker’s display
of historic stuff in Ely, a sample or
some 50 or 7 5 pounds weight repos
ing in the E. W. Hulse office.
rnis sample was Drought to the
E'y stock exchange when Jack Bin
ford was devoting energy to the
pushing foward of that institution.
He put the rock on display with the
Bourne tag of $2,000 value, and folks
marveled at Buch looking stufT carry
ing values so high, l ame an hour of
argument! n which opinion was
pretty largely on the side of a miner
who declared that no such rock could
make returns above a comparatively
few dollars, whereupon a slice was
carved ofl and assayer given a
Job. The best he could do was $11.

thereafter decided not to erect a j
$100,000 mill on the property and a
little later disappeared from local
view. At the time of this departure
he said he was going to Humboldt
reserve to develop come very
rich copper properties which he had
located there. Jarbridge is in the
Humboldt reserve, but Jarbridge is
gold.
It is possible that conditions came
about here with which which Mr.
Bourne was unable for one reason or
another to successfully cope and that
his failure to bring in the producer
he had in imind in the county was
by reason of circumstances which he
will later overcome, but meantime
most of those here who have recalled
his name and activities in this vicin
ity have joined the show me class as
to Jarbridge. The latter may be en
tirely as great as Mr. Bourne has
ventured in his most sanguine pub
lished statements; he may have lo
cated the lost Sheepherder's mine
and have the world of gold by the
tail_yea; verily all things are possi
ble, but still ’tls good to see.
Also it is possible that the D. A.
Bourne of the present effervescent
Jarbridge is not the Bourne of the
staled Campbell district enterprise,
but the fact that the genius of the
latter left here for the Jarbridge lo
cality and that the discoverer of Jar
bridge claims the same name as well
as is associated with the Ely dis
trict in various newspaper accounts
as a former Ely mining engineer, re
duces the available room to the min
imum for the interjection of this
possibility.
In some parts of England the be
lief still exists that the only thing
to do when a person Is bitten by a
snake Is to rub the wound with Its
fat. Over here whisky la still con
sidered the best remedy and at this
time of year there are some men
who won’t dodge any snake.

Mason Booming-Will Have Sew Railroad Early In
February-.-Enthusiasm About the Properties of District
Mason district, from which Reno
will soon begin to receive extensive
patronage and which Reno people are
expected to interest themselves in
with the spirit of reciprocity is look
ing better daily, says the Reno
Gazette.
The Gazette had a pleasant chat
last evening with \V. C. Orem, presi
dent of the Nevada Copper Belt Rail
road Co., and who is also general
manager of the Nevada-Douglass cop
per mine, one of the most promising
copper properties in the country.
Mr. Orem said: “There is increas
ed activity in development work
throughout the district. The rail
road has reached Yerington and will
be In Mason City soon.
“Tomorrow morning traffic will
begin between Wabuska and the end
of the line. A motor car will be
used for transporting passengers,
mail and express, while steam loco
motives will be utilized for the
freight traffic. It is probable that
railroad day at Mason City will be
on or about February 10, when we
expect to entertain a host of people
from Reno. I understand tnat the
people of the new town are making
elaborate preparations.
“Our road will not stop at Mason
Cuy, but will penetrate to the heart
of the mineral section. We expect to
reach the Nevada-Douglass mine
about the middle of the year. In
fact the contracts have been *et ro*’
construction of twelve and one-half
miles of additional line and the other
contracts will be let without delay.
-The town of Mason is growing in
substantial manner, a Dank build
ing, amusement hall and a number or
residences are under construction,
but the building boom will not really
begin until spring opens. We will
construct a freight and passenger
building, general offices, round house
and machine shop at Mason City,
which will be the principal point of
the road, being at equal distance De
tween the two termini.
“I am naturally pleased to note
thj activity in Mason copper stocks.
Mason Valley is around the *2.60
mark and Nevada-Douglas is in the
vicinity of $3, while other stocks are
appreciating in proportion.
"Smelters will be rushed to com
pletion and 1 do not doubt that we
will be handling 100 tons of ore with
in a year and a half, while five year#
hence that tonnage will be greatly in
creased. The ore reserves In the
camp now fully warrant the construc
tion of a smelter with 1000 tons cap
I acity dally.”
