Austin, mother town of mining
camps, sprang into being after William Talcott discovered silver
at this spot on May 2, 1862. Talcott came from Jacobsbille,
a stage stop six miles to the west on the Reese River, the first
lander counter seat. He was hauling wood out of Pony
Canyon, directly below when he made the strike that set off the
famous "Rush to Reese."
