Reed made the money to purchase the ranch at Hawes Canyon. The ore at the mine was so rich that a person could stand off 50 or 60 feet and see the gold in the original outcropping; some of the ore sold for $1,000 a ton. Reed was partners in the mine with Jack May and a Mr.Wardle, Tonopah resident Austin Wardle’s father. Jack May and Reed were married to sisters, Mabel and Maude Hanley.
