Pioneer Northeru Sinking

LEASERS ON THE JACK POT
AT AUSTIN MAKE STRIKE

Harvey Harris and associates who
are operating a lease on the Jack Pot
claim have made a strike that means
much to the camp of Austin, saws the
Reese River Reveille. After running
a tunnel some two hundred feet they
have cut a ledge that will average BE-
tween $75 and 800 to the ton at the
lowest estimate. This ledge is two fear
wide and is a assure that has the name
with experts of being one of the few
assures in the country that possesses all
the especial qualities required by the
books of assure veins.
The Jack Pot vein will not only
iaake Harvey Harris and his associates
rich, but it will make a half dozen other
people wealthy. This vein runs through
the property of the Austin Gold Minin.
company and the Harris strike is a
guarantee that the Austin Gold Mining
company has thousands of tons of rock
that will yield a great profit when work
is commenced in earnest.
The Jack Pot leascrs are now sack
ing ore. They will be able in a few
days to take out enough ore to pay all
the outlay up TO date. 1t is the work
ct such men as are leasing on the jack
Pot. that is renewing the prosperity of
Austin. Every man who is idle should
get busy on a lease. The Jack Pot vein
is evidence that there is a great cross
ledge system in Austin that will vie,l
as much as the main high grade lodes
of the past.

Tonopah Mining

Practically everything cohhecleu
with the big pump to be installed at
the ~l.2G0-foot station OF the Mizpah
shaft is now ON the ground, the pump
having arrived last Tuesday evening, a
few days after the receipt of the pipe,
and no time will be lost in putting the
machinery and pipe in place. The cut
ting out work at the station in the
shaft has been completed and timber
ing is now in progress. 1t is expected
that everything will be in readiness to
resume sinking by about the first OF
March. While the present flow of water
only amounts to about Is gallons per
minute, the capacity of the pump being
installed is 200 gallons a minute, so the
company will be prepared to handle a
great increase over the present flow.
The three compartment shaft, which is
now down 1878 feet, will be sent to the
l.5O0-fo point at least, and may be
continued to greater depth, a great deal
depending on circumstances.
The repairs in the Red Plume shaft
of the company have been completed
and the headwork should be finished in
time to begin sinking next week. This
shaft is down 500 feet, and will be sent
to the 7oO-foot point in order to pros
peet the ground at that depth in the
western portion of their territory. Con-
siderable work will be done at the 500
foot point, where a good body of quartz
carrying values was encountered by the
drill sent down from the bottom of the
shaft last fall. Good progress was
made by the drill going down from the
140-foot levei of the Silver Top near
the shaft, a distance of 81 feet having
been made during the past week. The
bottom of the hole is now down 37j
feet. The total new footage for the
week amounted to 450 feet, of which
31S were. broken in Mizpah ground,
III. in Red Plume and ll4ia in Silver
Top. This work is exclusive of opera
tions in the Slopes, which, together vita
the ore extracted during the course of
development work, are yielding an
average of nine carloads of 80 tons each
per day, six of which came from the
Mizpah group and three from Silver
Top.

SUICIDE Of ]. BULL
1T CASTLE RESIDENCE

About half-past six o'clock yester-
day morning John Sherman Bull, an
Englishman, committed suicide by
shooting himself through the head with
a 3s-ealiber revolver. He had been
suffering from nervous prostration for
some time, and the manner In which
he took his life indicates that it was
done on the impulse of the moment.
He had his cap on at the time. and the
powder singed it. He killed himself
in the basement of the Castle resi-
denee.
The deceased was an electrician and
had been a resident for some time. He
came here during the panic on the
mainland. He wired the mansion of
James B. Castle at WAIKIKI, and he
had also worked for Mr.. Castle as an
auto man. He also placed the cleo
trie plant In Puma mill.
On Sunday night when the deceased
visited his brother, Edward W. Bull,
an employee of the Honolulu Gas Com
pany. he gave no indication that he
had suicide on his mind. for he told
his brother he never felt better in his
life.
A coroner's jury held an inquest
last evening, and its findings were as
follows:
That deceased came to his death by
bullet wound in his head, self-in-
f1icted with suicidal intent.

wounds, bleach the eye or do anything
else incidentally required, and all with

help themselves to pills, powders and

Bond Company Pays Shortage?
Reported that $50, 900 Has Ben Paid
Over in the Hampton MuddIe.

Columbia, October 21.-It is under
stood on good authority that the bond
ing company has paid $4,000 in the
matter of the Langford shortage in
Hampton County. County Treasurer.
Langford was found short in his ac-
counts to the extent OF approximately
$4,000. He was under bond in the
sum of $4,000. 1t is stated that the
bonding company has agreed to pay
the $1,000 balance, if the State will
establish in Court that this amount Of
the $4,000 shortage occurred during
the previous terms of office. The
shortage, it is alleged, occurred in the
last term CT Mr.. Langfcrl, and the
contention of the bonding company is
that they do not wish to pay the en-
tire $4,000. if that amount is found
short in one term Of office, when the
bond vas only $4,000, but will pay
the entire S24, 900, if the shortage oc-
Cured in more than one term.
Comptroller General Jones investi-
gated the matter and made report on
it, finding the shortage to be approXi-
mately $4,000. When the time for
settlement came the bonding company
refused to pay up unless some one
representing the State should go over
the books with d representative Of
theirs. Attorney General Lyon nam
ed Mr.. +. H. Townsend as the repre-
sentative of the State. Th<' books
were gone over and tie Investigation
Of Comptroller General Jones Was n"t
challenged.
