ISRELL SAYS AUSTIN is
TO BE DEEP MINING CAMP

n. E. Isbell, consulting engineer for
the Tennessee Zinc company, of Gin
c~innati, and associated with VIM.
Pfister. the Cincinnati mining broker
and promoter, spent Wednesday ana
Thursday in Goldfeld. He has just re-
turned from Austin, where he had been
making an inspection trip in behalf of
eastern interests. Mr.. Isbell is also
connected with the Aurora Bullfrog
property which he says has the making
of a great low grade gold mine. OF
the Austin country, he said:
~ wish to frankly state that my IN
spection of the Austin mines has re-
suited in a number of pleasant sur
prises. BY this, / mean, the mineral
possibilities of the camp are extraor-
dinarv. The future of Austin and It's

that men or companies, with sufficient
capital will ultimately catch up the un

by the faulted fractures.

tard the establishment of mills means
a postponement of the prosperity due
to this camp, as leasers alone can
supply immense quantities of milling
ore. The reduction charge to these
leasers in my judgment can be made
so low as to make SIS ore profitable
to both parties.
"The plans of the company whose
ground l inspected, will break into
harder ground insuring a continuity of
vein material, which will be enriched
by the cross vein system centering in
this new hard ground at depth. This
new hard ground, virgin territory in
fact, is however, simply, as l stated
above, the catching up of the old pro
duetive veins at depth.
Theoretically, following klinometer
declination, this must occur, despite
faults, approximately 1900 to 1000 feet
vertical depth. Long i~nclines and
drifts on 1attened veins, in my estiina
tion, may be profitable, as has been the
ease in the past, but doubly risky in
the future and ten times as costly, but
crosscutting from deep shafts will
solve the faulted zone problem of the
Austin camp and result in profits so
much greater than has past been re
corded that comparisons will be out of
place.
''In this conversation / do not wish
to disparage the possibilities of milling
the ore of the gaub in the old Slopes.
These sources of ore will pay, but the
greatness of the camp depends on deep
mining at UNEMPLOYED depths

Nevada at the present time has land
in many sections that ear be purchased
and put into condition for less money.
Since it has been shown that artesian
water is possible in many localities
where it was not supposed to exist,
thousands of acres of Nevada lands
have been taken up to be reclaimed III
this amer. Most of this land has
sold for one dollar and twenty-five
cents per acre.
Experiments in reclamation by
pumping where power is cheap has
proven profitable. In a number of
places in California land is irrigated
with pump station. In many instances
the water is lifted from a depth of
over 100 feet. There is hardly a sage
brush fiat in this state that will not
produce water at less depth than in
the Southern California belt. Gasoline
engines throughout California have
proven efficient to irrigate lands where
ditch water has not been available.
The same treatment could be used in
this state with good effect.
When the dispatches are read owe

Oregon lands it convinces those who
have give the matter any study that
the neglected lands Of Nevada with

1.-The Boy CuchuIain"

By Eleanor Hull Published By Thomas Y.
Crowen & Co., New York. Price, $l-50
The subtitle Of this book is Heroic
Legends Of Ireland" and the volume
adds one more proof of the fact that
Irish mythology has become recog-
nized, for the heroic beauty and
grandeur Of its tales, the equal Of
any other mythology in the world.
Miss Hull has. perhaps. done more than
any other writer TO familiarize Eng
nsh and American readers with the
superb Cuchulain cycle. There have
been other connected versions before
hers, but it is probable that her latest
rendering as given in this book will
be the one to take possession Of youth
ful minds.
The author points out that il is, after
all. the human interest Of these old
stories and not primarily their i'm
portance as folk lore and the history
of manners. that appeals to most Of
US today. This is especially true as
regards younger readers. The tales
have a sprightliness and buoyancy not
possessed even by the legend Of King
Arthur. They are fresher, more humor-
Gus zad have more variety in them,
and the characters, particularly those
Of the women, are strongly drawn
Parents who wish to give their chill
dren splendid day dreams are advised
70 read aloud on winter evenings this
spirited retelling Of Cuchulains story.
The book is beautifully illustrated
in color by Stephen Reid.

BY Sophie Jewett, author of The PEARL
New York. Price, S1.25.
The story of Francis, the poet saint
of Assist, whose love for "au things
both great and small" made him
Gods little poor man. is one of en-
during beauty. In this book it is re-
told for children, for whom the sim
phcity and sweetness of ST Francis
and his life are especially suited At
the same time it is told with a schol-
ar's knowledge of thirteenth century
Italy. Before writing the book Miss
Jewett visited Assist and other places
associated with st. Francis in order to
complete her study of the subject.
Many photographs which she took
there illustrate her vivid descriptions
OF life in the beautiful, still medieval
Umbrian valleys, where lambs and
children play and birds and poets sing
as in the olden days
Songs of the time of St Francis are
scattered through the book 1t was to
bring out especially the quality of the
singer in the saint that the author
called the book Gods Troubadour"
To quote from it: almost the first
we know of Francis of Assist is the
story of the lad who liked to sing gay
songs of love and war. Almost the
last we know of him is the more beau
tiful story of the song which he made
and sang only a little while before he
died. 1t is with one of his finest
songs that the volume ends.

"Chinese Fairy Stories"

By Norman g. Pitman. Published by Thomas
y Crowell & Co, New York. Price, ST.
This work is far out of the ordinary
run OF fairy books, both in material
and style and makeup. The gods, de-
mons and other spirits dealt with are
those Of a country seldom drawn on
for material by story writers, the
tales being those which Chinese chill
dren can claim exclusively as their
own. The author is an American
teacher in the provincial college. near
Peking, and has obtained his material
fresh and at first hand.
Strange to say, there appears to be
nothing strikingly improbable about
any of these tales, if one confesses to
a mild belief in supernatural beings
and admits that occasional miracles
may be performed by fully qualified
maagicians. The book might be called
q Chinese Arabian Nights" Better
still, a hidden moral or concealed les
son goes with each of the eleven
stories, from the selfish hearted Wow
10, who lost his stock of pears on a
magic tree, TO the obedient little
maiden who became the happy bride
of the Dragon King. The authors
style is clear and realistic. He has
some good stories to tell, and he goes
ahead with them without waste of
words.
The clear type. wide margins and
handsomely colored illustrations make
this book to be priced by any Ameri-
can boy or girl and to be enjoyed by
many older readers.
