TRAINS WILL Be MOVING
AGAIN EARLY IN JUNE
$4,000 Damage Caused 60
Day Tieup for Nevada Min
ing Operators

ANSTIN, New, April 26.--J. M. His
key, superintendent of the Nevada
Central railroad, which suffered some
$4,000 damage from the floods in Feb
ruary, states that the company will
have the line ready for operation again
by the first of June.
While the ninety day tie-up has in
terfered seriously with the progress in
mining In Austin and upper Reese
river, the fact that the road will be
restored in a few weeks has animated
all mining operators with plans for
heavier work than ever as soon as fuel
and machinery and timber can again be
brought in by rail-.
The Austin Manhattan company will
greatly increase their development
work in the camp. The two most i'm
portant additions to their progress are
the immediate construction of the first
unit of a reduction plant and the open
ing of the Union vein at depth on the
south side
This latter work will be supplement
ed by the leasing operations on the
Austin Central which adjoins the
Union on the west. The lessees on a
block of Austin Central have opened
up n north and south fissure. which
parallels the Jack Pot. This vein is
also considered to be tho north eXten-
sion of the Hardy ledge which has
been exploited by the Double H. groun
which belongs to Tom Dalton and
Harry Hodge. The values in this ledge
where opened up at surface, run $65
in gold and Sc ounces in silver.
Col. S. II. Pearson reports most graf
flying showings on the King Midas
ground at Clear Creek UP Reese river,
and the summer will see important de-
velopments on several properties up
there. The supplies for all this work
will go from Austin.
The Shoshone Quicksilver company is
pushing development at lone and have
already proved up one of the richest
am most extensive cinnebar deposits
in this state Material for the installa-
ton of furnace will come in as soon
as the railroad can handle 1t.
