Especial Correspondent

AUSTIN, New, Nov. Ginning in
terest in Austin this week is conferred
in the developments in the Frost shaft
in Lander Hill, the new strikes OF
high grade made by leasers in the
Midas Flat, two miles to the north, and
in the important developments in new
err camps up the river.
The Frost this week will see drifting
in progress on the Panamint vein. A
15-foot stump has been made below the
sOO-foot level and it is confidently as
sured that rich pay shoots will be open
ed. both in the east and west drives.
This work, together with the active
plans of the Austin Manhattan Con
solidated to install the new reduction
process within the next two months,
has aroused all the owners of mining
property in the district to a realization
of the immediate and wide resumption
of mining activity in Austin and vicin
ity. Every man who owns a vein OF
ore is now assured Of a market fol
his output, and preparations are accord
ingly being made to go to work.
Leasers in Midas Flat have opened a
vein at 100 feet that averages better

MORE BIG STRIKES BEING
MADE In THE GOLD RANGE

NINA, New, Nov. 10.-A few more
strikes like the one made on the estate
Of the Mammoth Dyke Mining company
this week and Douglass camp in the
Gold Range mining district will be the
scene of one of the widest stampedcs
in the state. In fact, there nave been
a number of high grade and picture
strikes made in that camp lately that
would have created a wild excitement
ere this, had the discoveries been made
anywhere else.
For some time past A.. w. Curtis
has had a force doing development on
the Mammoth Dyke estate and recent
ly he began trenching operations with n
view of finding the lodges in order to
sink a shaft. In two separate places
the ledge was uncovered. Some Of the
ore bearing matter, which is a dark
brown quartz, was alive with spechs
of sparkling gold all through it, and
plainly visible to the unaided eye. 9th

BATTLE MOUNTAIN, New, Nov.
9.-what is probably one of the big
gest surface showings of silver-lead
deposits ever found in this part Of
Nevada was discovered a few days ago
by r. c. sherwood and Clyde Ganser
about thirty miles west of Battle
Mountain and in the vicinity of the
Smeizer ranch. The two men were
prospecting in the mountains OF the
west side of Buffalo valley when they
came across some rich specimens of
lead float. They traced this to the
ledge without great difficulty, as with
in a short distance from where the
float was first found, erosion had left
the ore shoot in plain view at the top
of the ground, with huge boulders of
the metal weighing as high as three
or four hundred pounds scattered over
the surface. The deposit is a contact
vein between lime and porphyry, the
naturalization being due, doubtless, to
the intrusive dikes of porphyry which
cut the lime formation with a norther-
ly and southerliy strike. Occurring

Mill HELPS LEASERS
AT ROUND MOUNTAIN

ROUND MOUNTAIN, New, Nov. 9.
Now that the leasers of the Round
Mountain district have been successful
in getting their ore milled, renewed
vigor may be looked for in their opera
tions throughout the district.
The Stofeit-Morgan-Cook Blue JAG
ket lease was the first to have it's ore
run at the mill of the -Toquima Mining
company. Their ore averaged $47 a
ton and they feel encouraged to go
ahead with their development work.
The former mill run from this lease
gave an average return of $50 per ton
on the ore run. But if the present
values continue the holders of the lease
will be more than satisfied to go ahead
with the work.
About lis tons of ore from the Hol-
land Meehan lease on Round Mountain
Mining company ground showed a
cleanup of 270 ounces of bullion. Figur-
ing this at 1880 an ounce, there you
have a total of $3645 for the two hard
working young Irishmen to divide
between themselves. That means an
average value of better than $50 a ton
for the whole run. Work on this lease
is going steadily forward and the show
ing is as good as it has ever been. The
ore body shows up strong and the
values are holding out.
The .Toquima mill has been running
for past few days on ore from the Glib
son Gallagher ,Johnson-McVeigh lease
on acreage of the Round Mountain
Blue Jacket Mining company. This ore
is expected to 60 better than $50 a
ton. The Gibson lease has thus far
been the most fortunate of the Blue
leases. Besides the good grade
of milling ore which they are taking
out, they have struck several nice poe
kets Of specimen ore which have Melted
them enough to almost pay expenses as
they went along.
The next custom ore to be run by the
Toquima mill will be that of the Lee
high Antelope lease.

CAMP OF GREENWATER
ABANDONED TO DESERT

Not a living person remains in the
"copper" camps Of Greenwater and
Furnace Greek, according to advices
from members Of the last exodus from
the once famed districts. The Schwab
company has stopped work on Queen
shaft No. 2, the last property on which
work was done, and at q depth of 1000
feet there was nothing to encourage or
Justify further work. The Schwab
company has some money left in its
treasury, and it is said it will probably
be invested in properties elsewhere
with a hope of finding something and
saving stockholders from absolute loss.
In the Furnace Creek camp the Patsy
Clark company stopped work several
years ago. Thu Furnace Creek company
never did nave a sslook in,' and FROM
the first day of it's existence expert
enced mining men said the company
had no property worth exploiting. The
Furnace Creek company also has some
money left, a few thousand dollars, and
the officers are talking about investing
it in oil property.
A few years ago Greenwater had a
considerable population, a big payroll,
an active vigilance committee and a
newspaper, with all the other aces
series going to make a live western
mining town. About the time that is
began to dawn upon the people that
Greenwater's future was all in the past,
the Schwab company, buoyed up by
strange reports from its engineers, tried
to instill new hope in the people of
Greenwater, and a $4,000 bank build
ing was put up, but about the time
it was completed it was sold to the
owner Of the automobile stage line for
1000. He still owns the handsome
vacant building, and the big steel,
burglar and freproof safe occupies one
corner OF it. The old newspaper plant
is still there, and a freighter has ad-
vised the owner to leave it there as it
would cost more to freight it out than
it is worth. That is probably true OF
the big burglar-proof safe in the So
600 bank building.

PRESERVATION OF Mine
timber GAINING GROUND

DENVER, Nov. 9.-The value OF
wood preservation is rapidly coming to
be realized by the wood-using indus
tries of. the country. This is especially
true in the Rocky Mountain region
where it has been almost entirely neg.
lected in the past. Evidence of this IS
to be found in cooperation begun with
the United States forest service by the
Smuggler-U Union, Tomboy and Liberty
Bell mines of Telluride, Colorado.
At these mines, as at almost all the
mines of this region, the supply of good
mine timbers is rapidly diminishing
and the use of inferior timbers is becom-
ing unavoidable. The life of those
timbers is SO short that their use is
most unsatisfactory without some
means of l~engthening their life, such as
is provided by chemical preservation
against the attacks Of decay.
Arrangements have been made for a
thorough study of the timbers avail
able for use at these mines, and Of
the conditions under which they are to
be used. A report will be made to the
companies by the forest service and
recommendations made as to the type
of plant and methods of applying the
preservative which will be most
economical and effective. If the com
panies should then feel it desirable to
undertake the erection Of a plant TIE
forest service will assist them further
in the designing and erection of the
plant, and will operate it for them un-
til their employees have been instructed
in the work SO that they can take
charge of it themselves.
Any one who is interested in the ap-
plication of wood preservation can OBJ
tain advice or assistance similar to that
Of which the Telluride Mining company
have availed themselves by applying to
the district forester, Denver, Colorado.

or portions of the ledge show a good
grade of milling ore. The point ut
which the strike was made is less than
100 yards from the point on the Gem
claim from which Bob Stewart extract
ed over 100000 of gold of the highest
value per ton ave- uncovered in Ne
vada, and it is the opinion of those
who have examined the find, and from
the similarity of quartz, that Mr..
Curtis has picked up the lost ledge OF
the Gem.
The force at work stopping in the
Mary tunnel on the estate of the
Douglas Mining company, continue 20
pile up the ore in the bins and on the
dumps preparatory to starting up their
mill which has been closed down for
some time. The ore bodies are grow
ing larger as development proceeds,
while the values are holding their own,
with a saving of an average of $5l on
the plates and $3.50 per ton in the
tailings.

that looked as though it would be right.
He drove a tunnel in ten feet and was
getting ahead fast when the roof caved
in. He cleaned the dirt out and went
ON working and came to solid forma-
ton in about ten feet more, where he
found granite with the quartz ledge
that promises to make him a fortune.
The point where he struck it is about
Fifteen feet from the surface and tends
to prove the contention of those
familiar with the district that rich
mines now covered with wash would
some day be discovered there. All
down the gulch below the ledge placer
gold can be found, and now that such
high values are found in the ore il in
probable more diligent prospecting viii
uncover good diggings.

STRIKES CINNABAR ORE
20 MILES FROM PIONEER

Herman Trapman has discovered a
vein of ore at a point about twenty
miles north of Pioneer and four miles
from Farmers station. For the small
amount of work done the showing is
excellent. One shaft IL feet deep
yields assays of over 900 in gold,
with cinnabar in profitable quantities.
Recently Pioneer parties have ex-
smined the property, which has re-
suited in a lease being taken. EARLY
this week men and supplies were sent
out and work win be started at once.
Although NOT generally known, cin-
nabar is also found in the lower town
site Of Pioneer, but NO effort has been
made to develop the find.

different points in this neighborhocd

been made from time to time, but sufi
