BIG DEALS AT AUSTIN
AROUSE THE OLD CAMP
Especial Correspondence

Austin, New, May 20.-Interest in
Austin mining ground has inevitably
turned to the south side of the main
gulch. This main Austin gulch is known
as Pony Canyon, so named because in
the early days the Pony Express found
this the easiest grade and road across
the Toiyabe mountains from the far
east to Virginia City, the mining pro-
Dizzy of the world in the early sixties.
Incidentally, it was these same reckless
riders of the Pony Express, who were
responsible for the first stampede from
Virginia City to Austin in the spring
of 1868. Gold and silver ore was found
on the south side of the canyon and
carried to the great mining camp on
the Comstock. Then began the wonder
full rush from California and the east
to the Reese river valley, an episode in
American life that rivaled in public
interest the reports of the early battles
in the civil war.
The first ground mined in this camp
was on the "south side.o Several
hundred thousand dollars were realized
from these operations, saying nothing
OF the millions taken from the Silver
Chamber and the Union veins, which
seem to be Independent from the main
Austin system, yet further east than
the gold belt. The Highland Mary was
among the first properties worked, and
only this week ground was optioned by
George d. Kilborn, the well known min
ing man of Cripple Creek and equally
well known as a journalist of Reno.
That his move will result in a purchase
and subsequent. mining operations of an
important character is the only eonclu-
sion possible to those who know Mr..
Kilborn.
Deal for Jack Pot.
There have been important negotia-
tons for some time relative to the
Jack Pot, which lies to the southwest
of the Highland Mary. The Jack Pot
is the best gold producer in the camp
and will help Austin in its program
of repeating history.
The Austin Gold Mining company
has an excellent acreage just north of
the Jack Pot and will profit by both the
north and south vein systems, both of
which traverse the tract.

OF INDIAN SQUAW
RAISES PECULIAR PROBLEM

sanctioned by the legends of their tribe
and which had been time and again in
the past history of the Piutes perform
ed to save the life of some great chief
or warrior, and in many like instances,
the head of the household. This was
to propitiate the Great Spirit with the
sacrifice of some life for that of the
stricken one.
The Indian wife and aged mother
talked it over, and the latter begged,
that as she was old ana decrepit, she
should be sacrificed in order that her
ascending spirit might go forth to APP
pease the anger of the Great Spirit and
bring the strong life back to her son.
One day when nothing else seemed
available the two Indian women went
forth and gathered a great pile of sage
brush, sufficient that its smoke would
ascend to the Great Spirits notice, and
watt the spirit of the atonement to the
boundaries of the celestial hunting
ground. Then they went back to the
tepee and the old Indian woman babe
farewell to her son, and when the dark
ness fell and the light of the beacon
would go far, they stole back to the
place of sacrifice. The old mother
bowed her head to the death stroke.
Then the body was placed ON the auto
de fe and the fire kindled.
Strangest of all, from that time the
Indian grew better. The squaw was
found nursing him back to GONZALES

her to Jail.
What will be her fate? Who can
guess itf 1t is too abstruse a problem
for the intelligence of the average
jury.
She will probably be convicted of
~manslaughter and spend the remainder
of her days in the penitentiary.
Meanwhile about nine out of every
ten average homicides go free. But
onee in a while an example has to be
made, and this offender against the
peace and good order of Nevada is only
a squaw.

GOOD ORE BEING FOUND
IN PROSPECTS AT MILLETT

Like all other camps of merit in the
state, Millett, in Smoky Valley, is
coming to the front with greater and
better ore showings than ever. The
Manuel Mining company, at a depth of
100 feet in new workings has opened a
ledge carrying 4 per cent copper and
$l2 to the ton in silver. The whole
bottom of the shaft is in ore of this
character.
w. +. Corr, who has been mining in
the district for some time, has made a
silver-lead strike that has great
promise. He has an ore body 10 feet
in width that averages SIG in lead,
silver and gold.
Paul Manuel is following up a ledge
which, at the surface, was two feet IN
width and carried gold values from
$50 to 500 to the ton. G. +. Smith
in Nose Canyon in the Millett district
is also developing a gold ledge that
has every prospect of proving a bo-
nanza.

Reno, May 1S.-The Gazette today
says: In Elko county is pending one
of the %strangest murder cases in the
annals of criminal Jurisprudence. On
the statement of alleged facts as
given out, and which form the peculiar
circumstances of the ease are probably
true, it presents a problem in the ad-
ministration of justice as complex as
any to be found in history.
True, it involves only an Indian
squaw, but what can be more strange
and weird than the following purported
history of the crime-if crime it be
that was committed in the strict sense
of the term.
Some months ago there was found
near Elko the charred remains of an
old Indian woman in a pile of burned
sagebrush. Investigation showed that
her skull had been fractured and near
the remains was an iron bar which
bore evidence that it vas the weapon

officers were able to identify the re-
mains from the testimony of the In
dams and soon sufficient evidence was
secured to charge the daughter-in-law
of the victim with the crime. She
was taken into custody and is now in
the Elko Jail.
A few days ago the squaw was pre-
vailed upon by the sheriff to tell the
story of the tragedy, and the manner
of the telling and all attendant cireum-
stances bear conclusive evidence of its
truth.
In their tepee near Elko lived the
souaw and her husband and the aged
mother of the latter up to the time OF
the crime. The Indian man had been
sick for a long time with a fever that
had reduced MIN from a strong buck to
a feeble invalid. He was gradually
growing worse and finally there seemed
Int one hone left to make him strong
and well again. The two Indian women
had attended him with a devotion per-
haps as sincere as any civilized women
could have shown. They ministered to
him to the best of their knowledge and
ability, and when nothing seemed to
stay the progress of the malady their

WORK GOING ON EAST OF
vINDICATOR MOUNTAIN

There is considerable of a revival II
mining activity around the east sidt
of vindicator mountain, midway be
tween Goidfeld and Diamondfeld. In
addition to the Marquette and Standard
leases ON the Alhambra estate, the "Old
Kaintuck" and the Gold Button are
both undergoing development in the
search for ore.
c. Sturman and X. +. Hardy are
prosecuting from the bottom of the
250-foot shaft on the "Old Kaintuck,' =
and expect to cut the ledge in about
forty feet beyond the present work
ings. They have had some strong string
ers of iron sulphides through the rock,
but values have been low. The ledge
they are driving for shows a strong
outcrop ON surface, and some good re-

East of the Highland Mary, in the
vicinity of the Union and the Silver
Chamber, lies the group of claims re-
Gently incorporated as the Austin Cen
trail Mining company. 1t is believed by
some local engineers that this ground
will prove to contain the western ex
tension Of the famous Union vein. This
is possible only by reason of a great
faulting that has disturbed the entire
vein system at some point between the
Frost and Union shafts. South of the
Union, this acreage will catch the Snow
Flake, Wild Jim and possibly the Silver
Chamber lodges.
The Austin Manhattan company has
important holdings on the south side.
Chief among this company's promising
holdings on this side is the Hardy group
which has been under active develop
ment for some time. The Hardy ledge,
the objective point of a long tunnel be-
ing driven, will soon be reached. The
acreage of the Austin Nevada Consoli-
dated lies in middle ground between
this new and attractive territory to the
south and the famous mines of Lander
Hill. 1t will undoubtedly prove rich
in the south easterly extensions Of the
Lander Hill lodges as well as in north
and south veins which are a feature of
the section.
Early Austin History.
just a paragraph of Austin history:
In December, 1862, John Frost, Felix
|O'Neil, j. d. Vandenbosh and George
Buel arrived in Austin. They found a
man by the name of Marshal and VIM.
Cole living in a cabin at Clifton and
running a tunnel on the Highland Mary
opposite the present site of the Inter
national hotel. The men above men
toned were the only ones in Austin at
that time, SO they may be justly called
the pioneers of Austin. They located
the North Star, Buel North Star, Ore
gon and Southern Light lodcs and re-
turned to Truckee to spend the winter.
From the claims located by Frost and
fssociates. grew the Manhattan Mining
company, of New York City, now the
Austin Manhattan Consolidated Mining
ans controlled by Chicago people.

these earnings. The months reported
on include the primitive days in the
development of the property.
The output of the mine for tins
time ran between $4,000 and s5o,ooo
DER month. The average net earnings,
over and above mining and milling
costs is better than $4,000 for the
same period.
The Indebtedness is still heavy. Ac.

A .Ssman.s Complexion.

by the beauty doctors. The onl.
safe and sure way that woman cal
improve her complexion is by purify

can only be accomplished by keeping
the liver healthy and active. The
liver is the seat of disease and blood

and enriches the blosd, purifies th'
