AUSTIN PEOPLE WILL ikcoR-
PORATE PAINT COMPANY.

1t is understood that a meeting of
interested citizens OF Austin will be
held Saturday evening and Incorporate
a company for the purpose of develo-
ping big deposits of titanium shale,
lumber and sienna, also while kaolin.
The organization will be known as
the Discovery Gulch Paint cocmpany.
Several months ago the Independent
published a statement that ]. B. (Can-
yon) Smith had discovered paint ma
terials in some quantities near the
state bridge on the Gunnison river
Since that time Mr.. Smith has been
steadily at work prospecting the ter
ritory and has found that large bodies
of this scarce material exists.
The vein of umber and sienna,
which is of a reddish brown color. is
found in immense quantities. This
material is now imported to the Uni
ted States from Turkey and Italy and
has big market. being used by al
most every paint concern in the coun-
try. At present neither umber nor
sienna is marketed in the United
States to any great extent only about
Is per cent being produced.
The 30-foot vein OF titanium shale
has attracted great deal of atten-
tion from chemists, the properties of
which have but recently been de-
veloped. Mr.. Smith believes this dis
covery Is really the foremost of all
the shales that he has discovered
Kaolin clay is found in a vein over
three feet. This clay Is imported to
the extent of about 90 per cent from
both China and Greece
The people OF Austin and vicinity
are determined TO develop this dis
covery and ascertain just what they
have and It may prove to be a big
industry. Mr.. Smith proposes to give
everyone who goes into his new COM
pany n square deal and has included
$50 acres OF decided land and vel
comes everyone to help develop what
he has put his time and money in
discovering. From tests that have
been made of these minerals there
is no question about their value and
the people of Delta county will un-
doubtedly be willing to fully demon.

covered.

Saturday was big day in Delta,
1t was a rare treat for those who
were lucky to get piece of real pump
kin pie provided by the ladies' of the

flour that was ground into a finished
product in Delta. The vegetable flour
mill. by the way, was made possible
by Delta county money.
few days ago the Farmers Mil
ling and Produce company started
run on pumpkins and has the distinc-
tion of being the first mill in the
, United States to make a marketable
pumpkin flour. This industry has at
/ tracted the attention Of people from
. far and near. Tuesday a large pub
fishing concern sent representative
to Delta to look into this industry
and learn first hand just what
there was to the new product He was
elated and very glad to have the op-
portunity to witness the making of
pumpkin flour.
! The company contracted pumpkins
for this year at SO per ton, and it
is said that the growing Of pumpkins
at this price will prove to be very
profitable crop. The tonnage is large
per acre and pumpkins are a very
easy crop to raise. Besides pumpkin
bean and potato flour the company
proposes to branch out with other
vegetables and the industry promises
to assume vast proportions.
Sufficient tonnage of Gull potatoes
are obtainable to keep the mill run
ming until spring. Potatoes, pumpkins
and beans offer to this industry many
many months of steady grinding. The
Delta mill was built by the National
Potato Machinery company of Chica-
go, Illionis. G. NJ. Orr. construction
engineer, who has been in Delta for
several months will soon depart hav-
