GpEAT WORK NOW UNDER
WAY IN OLD AUSTIN CAmP

rr.r since the consolidation Of the
principal mining properties in Austin
under the single ownership OF tine
.ustiu Manhattan Consolidated MIN
ing company, there has been a growing
interest in mining circles, in the re-
o0auipe of these properties, which in
their day produced in the neighborhood
sf,v millions in bullion, says the
Reese River Reveille.
coincident with the resumption or
mining activity in this old camp OF
Austin, there seems to be a general
turning to the pioneer camps of the
state where modern milling methods
make possible the development of mines
that rival the bonanzas of the seventies
and that cause the eldorados, discov-
ored during the present decade to look
we'll TO their laurels. The actual con-
d;tiops in these old camps greatly re-
duees the percentage of chance in min
inc operations. Mining is more of a
sure thing here than it can be in any
newly discovered camp, where good sur
face showings are all that inspires the
operator to go to the deep. In Austin,
more than in any other camp in this
state. conditions are such as incite the
greatest zeal in operations and in plan
ming them along the lines of greatest
magnitude. The high grade character
of the ore; the comparatively shallow
depth to which the mines have been
worked in the past and the immense
area of virgin ground are the conditions
here that cause the ambitious mining
engineers to conceive of Austin as a
second Butte.
The consolidation above referred to,
takes in all the ground formerly owned
and operated by one hundred and fifty
three mining companies.
Roughly speaking, this brings under
one management the cream of the acre
AGE within the limits of a zone, 8 miles
in width northerly and %southerly, and
i mile in extent, easterly and westerly.
Under one ownership, it will now be
possible to open up at depth a marvel
GUS galaxy of high grade veins, which
in the past were scenes of fierce rivalry
and war among the miners of contend
ing companies, and which were the
cause of amending litigation and expen-
sive strife. Chief among these veins,
the following may be enumerated: The
Panamint, which has produced between
six and seven million dollars; the Pax
ton with a production of over a million;
the Buel and North Star, with a record
of two millions; the London, little
worked, but with a production of a mil
lion and a half; the Independence,
which has produced over a million; the
Oregon with a record of five million;
the Isabella, which has turned out three
millions: the Ruby, whose record is a
million and a half, but to enumerate
further would encroach on the limits of
this article.

THE GOLDFIELD G. o. D. MINING
COMPANY,
AND
THE GOLD BAR MINING co. OF
GOLDrIELD.

To our Stockholders.
You are hereby notified that there has
been organized under the laws OF
South Dakota the &C. o. d. Consol-
idated Mining Company which will
take wei as a holding company a con
trolling interest in the c. 6. d. Mining
Company and the Gold Bar Mining
Col.I any of Goldfcli, and will acquire
nv deed from the Goldfeld Consul
il,ted Mining Company the V'"tor
CT IN, the cop ,rat'o frving a stock
~carItal of thre" million shares of a pr
vai"c If one .lalllr each. and will have
about :.ue millmn shares unusued in the
treasury after all stock is exchanged,
provided it is all turned in for ex-
change. In this case the holding CON-
pany will own all assets of the Gold
Bar Mining Company and the c. O. D.
Mining Company entirely. A large ma
iority of the issued stock of these COM
panies is already being turned in for
exchange.
The territory complete will comprise
something over ninety (90) acres, being
approximately sixty (6O) acres in the
C. o. D. territory, twenty-five (22l
acres of the Victor and about eight 49,
acres of the Gold Bar.
The basis of exchange will be as fol-
lows: The Gold Bar stockholders will
receive three shares of Consolidated
stock for five shares of Gold Bar stock.
The C. o. D. stockholders will receive
one share of Consolidated stock for one
share of C. o. d. stock.
You are invited to participate with
the other stockholders Immediately and
exchange your stock on the basis
named. 1t is the belief of a very large
majority of the interests that all will
be benefited by the consolidation OF
these properties owing to the fact that
it is all contiguous territory, and that
the vein systems SO far developed run
through each of the properties, and de-
velopment has demonstrated the pres
ence of ore in all of them.
The intimate relation of the vein sys-
tens of the three properties and the
dip of the same makes it advisable, and
it is believed by our manager that great
economy will result from development
from a central point.
No transfer fee will be charged on
the exchange Of stock and you are re-
quested to mail your certificates immo-
diately either to G. R. Anderson, secre-
tary, or to the Guarantee Title & Trust
company of Pittsburg who will he
transfer agents for the c. 0. D. Con-
solidated Mining company.
Trusting this information will meet
with your approval, we remain,
