FIXE EXHIBIT AT SUMMED
Eastern Oregon to be Represented Vy
the Finest Ores.
Sumpter, Ore., Oct. 13 (Special
Sumpter la getting together a splen
did mineral exhibit from all Eastern
Oregon districts for the Mining Con
gress that meets here October 20 and
21. A feature of the exhibit different
from the usual exhibit of this charac
ter will be that special effort will be
made to make It typical of the com
mercial ores of this part of the state.
The high grade specimen, sparkling
with gold like a jeweler's show case,
will, of course be shown. Such pieces
are found in this country; as rich as
that of any mining camp, but the real
mining man knows that this is not
the kind of ore that makea the pro
fitable mines. What they want .to see
Is large pieces of the grade sometimes
termed commercial ore. This is what
the visitor at Sumpter will Bee during
the Mining Congress in such quanti
ties and largo pieces as to astonish
And convince them of the real mineral
wealth of Eastern Oregon.
The manner in which Prairie City
is taking hold of the Mining Congress
hows It to be a live town full of live
wires. The building of the railroad to
Prairie City has awakened the town
to as full a degree of vigorous lite
as the town was a dead one before the
coming of the railroad. There is vast
mineral wealth in the mountains near
Prairie City awaiting development,
and the (own is determined to show
the world what they. have.
The attendance at the congress
promises to be quite general through
out the Northwest. From Portland and
several towns of the Willamette val
ley notices have been received that
delegates have been appointed to be
In attendance. Such notices are receiv
ed from other parts of the state. Col.
Hofer, of Salem, president of the Oregon-Idaho
Development congress, will
attend and address the congress. - i
The 0. R. & N. and Sumpter Valley I
railroads have established excursion
rates from all points on their lines for
those desiring to attend the congress.
On the 0. R. & N. the rate is on what
is known as the certificate plan. The
purchaser of a ticket pays full fare to
Baker City, taking a receipt for his
money. This receipt when signed by
the secretary of the congress entitles
him to his return ticket at one-third
fare.
OLD SAFE FOUND IX RIVER.
Identified ail One Which Rlffurcd In a
Sotod Ret
A relic of the early days of Baker
City was found today when the Star
Engineering & Construction company
dug up an old safe In the bed of the
river at Auburn avenue where they
are excavating for a dam, says the
Baker City Herald. The news of the
find spread over town and several of
the old timers gathered to view the
curiosity.
After considerable Inspection the
safe was finally Identified by W. S.
Levens as one which belonged to his
father and which disappeared about
' 20 years ago.
There Is an Interesting Btory in con
nection with the disappearance of the
afe, for it was not known until to
day where it went to. In the early
days of Baker when this was a lively
mining town and everything was be
ing run wide open B. W. Levens and
a friend were engaged In a little game
of cards. The game was progressing
nlcelr and small waeera vr hninsi
made on the various hands held when
each man secured a hand that he
thought could not be beat The men
bet all they money ther had but so
confident were they in the hands they
held that they decided to lock the
hands up in the safe and Increase the
wagers.
Accordingly the hands were labeled
with-the names of the owners and
Stanchfield Produce Co.
MAIN 607, BELL PHONE
placed in the safe which was found
today. The wagera on the hands were
Increased for a period of ten years,
and finally the two betters decided
to open the safe and see who should
take the money, for the wagers had
grown to a good size.
A committee was selected and on
the day appointed quite a crowd gath
ered to witness the deciding of the
bet The safe was opened, the money
laid out and then the cards were
brought to light. The crowd waited
anxiously to see what the result would
be, and they were surprised to learn
that each hand consisted of four aces
and a king.
The judges placed the cards back in
the safe and then took the receptacle
and threw it into the river. Nobody
ever knew what became of the safe,
but when it was opened today the
cards were still there, a silent remin
der of the bygone days. ;
