GOLD CIRCLE A
PROVEN DISTRICT

r.. r. McCauley. one of the earli-
est locators in the Gold Circle dis.
trict, is in Winnemucca on busi-
ness. The firm of McCauley & Nc
Mahon are owners of some of the
best ground in Gold Circle. They
retain much valuable mining area
after selling such properties as the
Rlpsaw. the Esmeraldas and the
Quartzites, three producers of
gold in profitable quantities.
Naturally, McCauley is fully con.
versant with the district. In a
brief talk TO "The Star" he said
THE Gold Circle district is in
verv fine condition. The district
is beyond purely Prospecting
stage. Today we have mines in
which we can measure up ore re-
serves that will show ore blocked
reaching into the millions of dollars
and can say in saftey that we have
one mine which under operating
production would net the owner
more than one million dollars-the
EIko Prince.
Other properties such as the rs
meralda. the Queen, the Eastern
Stars, all have producing mine
features.
Some of these properties are
quipped with mills, treating their
ores. The Esmeralda company Is
employing sixty men in mine and
mill and Transporting Of ore and
bullion and its operations are pro-
ducing large profits. Other pro-
perties are doing the same. but
not on so extensive a scale.
Other properties Of latent re-
sources and great possibilities are
Coats Fraction, the Hlsides, the
Colorado Grandecs, the Water
witches, and the Ricos. the Boyle
group, the Alabama and the Crown
Extension. The district is on a
substantial basis and is steadily
making progress for the better.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC SURVEY
ERS ARE NOW At AUSTIN

The corps Of Southern Pacific
surveyors, party nf twenty five
or thirty men, are now in the
vicinity of Ledlie, just below town.
They are surveying a line from
Argenta, east of Battle Mountain,
sOutherly to connect with the
Ovens Lake road through to Los
Angeles. From point few miles
south of Ledlie, il is understood the
surveyors will cross over 10 Smith
creek valley and go down
lone valley. This route is known
to be over the easiest grades be-
tween the main line and the desired
connection at Nina or Luning, be-
sides being the shortest.
Since the Southern Pacific has
also recently run survey from
Palisade down Smoky. there is
some question as to which will be
the final route favored by the de-
cision of the engineering depart
ment. But the probabilities are in
favor of the Reese River route.
Round Mountain and Manhattan
offer freight on che easterly line.
The railroad people figure, how
ever, that this will reach their
cars anyhow, and at best it is a
small matter compared with the
ultimate purpose Of the new north
and south line which is projected
in order to handle the great annual
shipments Of southern California
fruits.
Which ever way il goes, Austin
will be on the line. Austin Reveille
