OPERATIONS TO
RESUME IN THE
AUSTIN Mill

The splendid mill at the foot of
the Austin grade, erected some ten
years ago at a cost of nearly $780,
900 by the Stokes crowd of New
York, and which has been fated to
disuse until now, will be steamed up
within a very short time. 1t will be
started by the present owners, the
Austin-Manhattan Consolidated Min
ing company, crushing both their
own ores and such as may be offered
by customers. Despite the fact that
unforeseen delays have deferred the
completion of the tunnel beyond the
time originally Appropriated, the
management believes there is enough
ore now in sight in the company's
own workings and in the workings of
leasers to warrant the starting of the
mill.
The reason this model milling
plant has never before been set to
pounding on rich Austin rock is an
interesting tale in itself, but is an
other story. But it is sufficient to
say here, that when the big mill
starts this spring, in means the ring
ing in of a new era for the town and
district of Austin. 1t means that the
mill will never stop until it is run
ming as the most modern and effec-
tive reduction plant in the state, with
a process installed that for the saw
ing of the mineral contents of Austin
ores will be an example to be studied
by the leading mining men of the
other camps of Nevada.
The starting of the first section O
this mill will be the sign for turning
in the power in the dynamo room il
which are waiting two 75-horse
power generators. From these
current of electricity will be gener
ated for lighting the mill, the tunne
and the mine workings generally. l
considered advisable the electri
plant can be turned up to a pitch tt
furnish the town of Austin with cleo
trio lights. The electric equipmen
in this fine plant is one of the best i
the state.

was bought by New York capitalist,
Mr.. bennett, who made some i'm
proyements on 1t with the idea OF
changing 1t into national park. This
was abandoned however, because OF
business reyerses. The farm became
tied up in the litigation Of the Den

ton by the authorities of Larue coun-
". Ky, when it was purchased by
Richard Lloyd Jones as representa-

farm association was formed, with
Governor Folk Of Missouri at its head
and various distinguished men on its
directorate. 10 this body Mr.. Collier
turned over the farm, popular sub
