AUSTIN ON eve
OF MINING BOOM

The activity in mining at Austin
continues undated and fear Of pan
,os and present depression cannot
tom the tide of the go-ahead pro-
ductiveness of each and every prop
,rtv now working. Values speak and
me ores now being brought to the
snrfaee ready for shipment are the
criterion of the conservative and pro-
gressive operator.
II the views of leading mining eX-
merits are correct. the ore bodies in
the Reese River mining district go
so deep that the only thing to cause
he cessation of working of the
same will be the extreme cost of
hoisting. BY that they mean that
there is no end to the ore bodies.
Austin today is on the V of Il
mining boom such as is rarely known
to.a has-been camp. Why? Because
the right men have come here and in
vested their money from a business
standpoint, not a speculative one. In
closing all late deals there has been
an absence OF yellow leggings and
Khaki suits.
The men employed on the Wholey
property are now nearly through the
big cave, and in another ten days will
he al the bottom of the shaft which
is 800 feet deep. Then the ore from
the Union vein viii be mined and
brought to the surface. A large.
hoisting engine has been purchased
for the property and the present
whim will soon be superseded. There
is plenty Of shipping ore in the drifts
at the bottom Of this property, as
will be demonstrated by future oper-
atoms.
The controlling interest in the Aus
tin Gold Mining Company has been
secured by one of our leading citi-
zens from n. L. Fillmore. plans are
now in progress to work this prop
erty to a great depth. Miners are
now working on shipping ore in this
property and when the smelter re-
turns are furnished, will make glad
the heart and purse of the man be-
mind the gun. This is an exceptional
property and Is destined TO be one
Of the most valuable in the camp.
New blood viii place it on the divt-
dend list OF the noted and historic
mines OF Austin.
In Crow canyon activity is appar-
ent. Considerable work is now being
done in that vicinity. b. Schichetti
and associates have sunk a 90-foot
shaft on their property and very rich
ore is shown nearly the entire depth
and at the bottom there is q ledge
OF ore rs inches wide that is good
in any man country.
This is one of the best developed
aud prospected groups in the south
end Of the district and there are
thousands OF tons of ore blocked out
in sight There Is no better milling
proposition III the State Of Nevada
than on this group of claims, and the
ore bodies while more than average,
contain many rich streaks, some as
says made resulting in $4,000 in
gold and silver.
Work on the Dudley b. is progress
ing satisfactorily. Drifting on the
ore bodies has now started and the
ledge is widening nicely and the higa
values still continue.
The action OF the county commits
sioners in alloting dump ground on
Fifth street bears favorable comment
as 1t is an assurance of immediate
operations upon the Bank claim.
Shipping ore at grass roots is a fact
on this property and under the cap
able management of Asa Baldwin,
who has the lease and bond on the
property, great results are looked for.
The Nevada Equity Mines Com
pany are not saying much, but tho
work they are doing speaks volumes.
Every day brings news of new I'M
provements and new strikes, and 1t
is the intention of the Reveille 10
