SWISS CAPITALISTS INVEST
in AUSTIN'S BIG MINES

The cutting of the big station will
be carried on with energy in order to
have all ready for the machinery and
equipment when it arrives. This job
will be completed during this month.
The Frost has been sunk about 30
feet below the tunnel level. While it
had not been expected hat any ore OF
consequence would be encountered short
of 100 feet or more, numerous rich
~stringers have come in, showing that
the lower levels are shot through with
rich minerals.
The progress in clearing the north
crosseut continues to be most satisfac-
tory.
In the drift that is being run on the
Hardy group, water is coming IN IN
considerable quantity, showing that the
Hardy ledge, the objective point OF the
drive, is in the proximity of the face.
The plan of development of the deep
er levels of the Austin mines Is one
that will most quickly ana most eco
nomlically prove up at depth the great

a foregone conclusion, that such pro
ducers as the Union and the Panamint,
the Patriot and a score of others that
have contributed to the Austin millions
in the past, have still greater riches al

FLORENCE LEASE CREATES
EXCITEMENT AT MAZUMA

Mazuma, New, June 9.-More excite
ment has been shown and more enthu-
siasm manifested this week than Seven
Troughs has seen since the opening up
of the district when surface strikes
caused a mad rush and specimens of
high grade a stampede.
The occasion for all this was a strike
made a week ago on the Florence lease
on the estate of the Seven Troughs
Mining company. How extensive the
strike may be cannot yet be determined
but even today its significance cannot
be overestimated.

words used by practical and theoretical
men alike in talking about it after

has been established.
To James Nickerson must the credit
be given for the discovery, for 1T wai

PREPARING TO DRILL OIL
WELL TO GREAT DEPTH

IL. A. Miller, of the Nevada Bay
State ompany, was in Blair from the
oil well last Sunday after an addition
al supply of cable for drilling pur-
poses. He took out with him 1850 feet
which had been discarded from the
aerial tramway. This amount will
make their drilling capacity $500 feet
which, Mr.. Miller states, they will go
if necessary.
A record of the drillings has been
kept since the starting of the well AMI
an opportunity was afforded, recently,
of comparing it with the log kept OF
several of the wells in the Bakersfield
region. The comparison showed identl-
cally the same formation, which Is a
matter of graduation to the local peo'
pie. as the history of oil wells shows
that the deposit is found in practically
the same formation the world over, and
it seems now only a question of time
until the desired liquid is found.
A couple of oil men from the South
crn California fields were recently IN
the ground and, after careful scrutiny
of the work being done and the sur
rounding territory, gave 1t as Their
opinion that success was certain.
OF late a very hard stratum of clay
has been encountered, which makes
drilling pretty slow, five feet per day
being about the maximum reached.

full that he lived any time at all, after
the accident occurred. Very little was
known about him by the men at the
mine, as he had worked but three shifts
at the Pittsburg-Nevada property, al
though he is said to have been in the
Nevada mining districts for the last
three and one-half years. He was a
single man.
He is said to have been born in Mich
igan, and to have left home about 25
years ago, living for a long time in the
Black Hills, South Dakota, and to have
come to Nevada three and one-half
years ago. He has several brothers am
sisters living at Mineral Point, Wis
cousin.
The jury at the inquisition into the
death of William MeDermott found
that he had come to his death by an
accident for which the company was
not to blame. Deputy State Mining
Inspector Ed Ryan testified on the
stand that the shaft of the Pittsburg-
Nevada mine is one of the best in the
state, and the work of the company
is managed in such a way as to be the
least dangerous for those employed
there. A telegram has been received
from James McDermott, a brother of
the deceased, in Mineral Point, Wiscon-
sin, saying that he IA an Eagle and
asking that the funeral arrangements
be placed in the hands of that order
and that McDermott be buried in Gold

William McDermott, a miner at the
Pittsburg-Nevada property, near Mil.
town, and about two miles east of Gold
field, was killed about $3.50 O'Clock We'd
nesday by being struck in the head
with the bucket, as it assembled from
the shaft, throwing him against the
drift wall and breaking his neck. Nc
Dermott lived until he arrived near to
the St. Mary's hospital, dying before
reaching that institution. An examina.
tion was made by DR.. l.. A. Wheeler.
MeDermott had been working in the
bottom of the shaft with another miner
and upon signaling to start the bucket
was struck upon the head. When pick
ed up he was unconscious and he was
taken to the surface in the bucket by
his companions.
At the surface an expressman named
Joseph Stewart had just arrived with
McDermott's clothes and bedding, hav-
ing hauled them from the dead man
cabin, at the east end of Elliott street,
to the mine. Upon Stewards arrival
at the mine, a note was sent down the
shaft to MeDermott, saying that his
clothes had arrived, it having been Me
Dermott s intention to live at the mine.
The bucket which came to the sur
face next, bearing the answer of Me-
Dermott, and saying that Stewart
would find a dollar, which was still
due him, in McDermott's trousers,
among his belongings, was the one
which caused his death, as in starting
it off the accident had occurred. Me
Dermott was brought up in the next
bucket, still living, but unconscious,
was placed in the wagon upon which
