AUSTIN ON EVE
OF Mining BOOM


les and present depression cannot
stem the tide Of the go-ahead pro-
ductiycness of each and every prop
eriy now working. Values speak and
the ores now being brought to the
surface ready FOR shipment are the
criterion OF the conservative and pro-
gressiye operator
II the views of leading mining ex-
perts are correct. the ore bodies In |
the Reese River mining district go
so deep that the only thing to cause
the cessation of working of the
same will be the extreme cost of |
hosting. BY that they mean that
there is no end to the ore bodies.
Austin today is ON the eve of a
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 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
be at the bottom of the shaft which
is 800 feet deep Then the ore from
the Union vein will be mined and
brought to the surface. A large
hosting 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whim will soon be superseded.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-
ations.
The controlling interest in the Aus
tin Gold Mining Company has been
! zens from N. L. Fillmore. Plans are
now in progress to work this prop
erty to 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-
hind the gun. This is an exceptional
: property and is destined to be one
} of the most valuable in the camp.

dend list of the noted and historic

In Crow canyon activity is appar-
S ent. Considerable work is now being
: done in that vicinity. B. Scuichetti
q and associates have sunk a 90-foot
. shaft on their property and very rich

in any man S country.

/ and prospected groups in the soutf

proposition III the State OF Nevada
than on this group of claims, and the
ore bodies while more than average
