MINING OPERATIONS IN
AUSTIN ON THE INCREASE

AUSTIN, New, Sept. 30. = The
Jack Pot shaft was put down 25 feet
additional in the first ten days of sink
:ng. This mean that the shaft is now
30 feet below the 200-foct level. The
main hosting compaa tment of this
shaft win now be %bulkheaded with two
substantial bulkheads below the 200
foot level as well as from the shaft.
This will be effected by using an auxii-
iary hoist, using buckets from the bot
tom Of the shaft TO the 200-foot level,
where it will be dumped directly into
the skip and hoisted to the surface.
While this method of procedure will
expedite the work in the bottom of the
shaft, the main object in closing up
the main hosting compartment is to
make it absolutely safe for the miners
working in the bottom of the shaft, at
the same time allow the work of stop
ing ore from The POO foot level, when
the mill starts up. During the interim
the drifts on the 200 level will be ad-
vanced and upraises put up in the ore
bodies and chutes built preparatory TO
starting floors from which to stope.
This equipment enables the manage
mems to do some far-reaching prospect
ing, as for instance the east crosseut on
the 200-foot level, which is now IN $50
feet towards the Silver Chamber vein,
one of the famous VEINS Of the camp,
The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1910-10-01

idea has been used in the retimbering
Of old shafts. 1t makes IT absolutely
safe for the men using it.
The mine has also a splen I'D galiows
frame. which will accommodate self
dumping skips when the time comes to
use them.
The mill. which has the appearance
Il a beehive Of industry, is fast near
ing completion. The work so fa- does
not present as great a showing to the
lavman, as it mostly consists of foun-
dations and floors for the different ma
chires which will be installed very
rapidly, as everything is IN readiness
for them. The heaviest machinery,
which is the dryer, is in position and
the bricking up of which is nearly eom-
plctcd. In order to accommodate this
new installation, the mill building had
TO be enlarged considerably and much
concreting done. The first consignment
of fuel for She mill al dryer has arriv-
ed. This consists of six railway cars
of coal, which will be put in the re-
serve hin, as there are 200 tons more on
the way. There are also two ears of
gasoline ordered which will supply the
fuel of three gasoline engines in con-
slant operation by the company.
Timber and mining supplies are also
coming in in large quantities, so that
taking it in its entirety, the Nevada
Central is taxed to its utmost capacity
to handle the Austin Manhattan
freight.
