Kcgiirdiug tlilH organization, 11 groat dual concerning which haH boon said in tho different mining journals, Mr. ,. . . .I.., , Hotter is most enthusiastic and thinks that by all means tho Sumpter mine operators should form a similar Institution. Itolativo to tho plan and work of the association, ho says: "Our main object is to ollmluato tho wild cattor and cut rato brokor, and place legitimate mining on its true footing before tho people Mining, I moan real mining, has suffered mora at tho hands of these people than from any othor source, and our organization Is doing ita sliaro to put thorn nut of business. When a company makes application for membership in tho association, a committoo is appointed to roport ou Its standing mid also on tho merits of Its mining property. If tho roport is unfavorable, tho application is very promplty rejected. Our In vestigations in this particular aro conducted with great care and fairness. In this way wo aro suro to got only legitimate oporators. "Ou tho reverse sldo of tho com pany's lettor heads aro two cuts representing the legitimate and tho Illegitimate operator. Tho ono shows the face of a tunnel with men at work, and the other, a splder-liko Individual with flashing diamonds heated in a well appointed office, and l"1 (n0 corner or tlio picture is a "'csolato and miserablo looking little hole in the ground. It Is clear to bo seen where tho money wout In the two instances, and it is a pretty just representation. "If every mining confer would adopt similar methods, and advortiso its work as we aro trying to do, it "ll make fako operators hard to find and Industry people.' place the legitimate mining ou a firmer basis boforo tho GRADING FINISHED. I Machinery for Alamo ptctcd. is Dally Ex- .1. 1', McCuigaii. superintendent of , the Alamo, was In the city yesterday ' and stated that the grading for the , stamp mill had been completed and . that work ou the buildings would bo started at once. Mr. McOuigau says I that, the sawmill recently put ill operation has cut more than enough lumber for tho buildings but that ho has decided to cut another 100,000 feet before stopping. The machinery for the ten stamp mill to be Installed was ordered soino time ago, aud its arrival is dally expected. Married In Baker City. W. II. Mather left hero Monday. This afternoon at 4 o'clock ho will lie married iu linker City to Miss LeouaThompsou, formerly of Sumpter. They will leave for Spokaue, where they will remain during tho winter, returning hero in the spring. Both are well and favorably known in this city and their largo circle of friends will not only bo pleased but surprised to bear of tholr marriage, as Mr. Mather "held out" on them before leaving. DECIDE TO SINK 100 FEET DEEPER. (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE ) decided that it would bo best not to try to patch tho shaft, but to rotlmbor it throughout, and also sink it 100 foot deopor boforo commencing tho extraction of ore to run through tho mill, oh by stopiug ore from the bottom of tho drifts which would be run from tho shaft it will allow room llll tltn Mtnotn eanfttV tmr 4 ln IahaIh .. , , ., . .. . . above and in that way tho using of great quantities of timber will be avoided as tho waste rock will tako tho placo of timbors and koop tho walls from caving in. Tho sinking of tho shaft 100 foot deepor should open up largo quanti ties of oro, several times moro than tboro is in sight, actually blocked out, at prosout, and thus assuro the continual running of a mill for a number of years upon tho oro blocked out. Thoro can be no doubt about the finding of tho voin at this pro posed depth, as It has been thoroughly demonstrated by tho Cbcckmato workings that the oro bodies aro doep seated, and tho pormauouoy or tho continuation of tho veins to groat aud unknown depths is assured. Tho merits and values of tho camp of Pearl havo boen demonstrated to tho outiro satisfaction of all mining mou who havo becomo acquainted with tho camp within the last couple of years. Tho volns or oio bodies havo boon proven to increase in width, longth and values, and as far as tho oro is concerned tho camp is assured of a very bright future and Is considered safe to mine in. DON JUAN UN WATERED Mill to Start Temporarily Test Ore. to Tho unwatoriug of tho Don Juan, iu tho Greenhorn district, was completed yesteiday, and A. H. lirowuo, consulting engineer for the company, who has just returned from tho property, states that work is to be started at ouco, testing tho oro ou tho lower elvels. The mill will lie started up at onco for a short tlmo for this purpose and upon the tests will depend tho futuro development of the mine. It Is not understood that tho mill is to bo run continuously, but merely started up temporarily to test tho oro from tho lower levels. Concert Company. It. W. Kelsey, manager of tho Knox Kantner Concert company, was in Sumpter the today arranging dates for his compauy.
