m x i ' i;tz a.
Have Property Where Nature Has
Bestowed Choicest Treasures
Only waiting .for spring to open
the mountain roads for the necessary
daily supplies, Ogle mine stands
ready to make good the claims of
the men who have been digging and
developing the mountain for eight
years.
One after another of the assays
have shown the oro will pay $7.00 per
ton.
A cyanide plant is completed
which has a capacity of from 100 to
150 tons per day, and will furnish
employment to about 40 men.
One of the best mining engineers
in the country, E. F. Spaulding of the
E. M. & M. R, has proven beyond all
doubt that the cyanide plant will ex
tract the gold and silver.
It has the approval of the Cor
poration Commission under the "blue
sky" law of the last legislature, (un
der which many a mine in Oregon
has been forbidden by the commis
sion to sell its stock) and has had no
restrictions placed on it.
There's the ore, there's the assays,
there's the plant. J
cyanide plant now ready to start.
The stockholders have had an un
wavering faith in the Fairclough
brothers from the start, and they have
responded time and again for the de
velopment money. The brothers have
backed their faith in Ogle mine 'by
their own money and work for many
years, and this has done as much
to inspire confidence in Ogle mine as
all the assays.
The opening of this mine promises
to be one of the real valuable assets
of Clackamas county.
A mine that pays is indeed a "gold
mine," as it simply brings - more
wealth into the country without tak
ing any out, and the man who owns
stock in a- mine that makes good
usually gets a nice little pension for
life for gold mines are invariably
stayers, and after years of develop
ment grow richer and show more ore.
And when Ogle makes good, there
is little doubt but many other claims
in that vicinity, which have been held
for years, will follow in development

Entrance to Mines on Ogle Mountain.-Buildings Over Shaft
Is there any way to get by them?
There have been a lot of time and
money put into the long tunnels of
Ogle mine.
It is not a wild cat, stock selling
proposition.
ugie mine nas never yet sold a
dollar's worth of stock, unless the
dollar was needed for actual develop
ment work of the mine.
The company officials have always
adnered to the policy of not selling a
dollar more of stock than has been
absolutely necessary to develop and
equip the mine, and so firm has been
the faith in the ultimate outcome that
time and again the stockholders have
increased their holdings, rather than
to have the stock scattered.
From the start the undertaking
has been largely a Clackamas county
enterprise, and Clackamas county
money has largely financed the mine
work from the first little hole at the
top of the mountain to the third big
tunnel at the base comprising 4,700
of development and the completed good,
and Clackamas county will be pros
pected and located to a finish.
Time and again Ogle mine has had
offers to sell, but the stockholders
have always reasoned if it looked
good to-English syndicates and East
ern capaitalists, it looked good for
Clackamas county, and they have held
on.
It haa been a long, hard struggle
to get the necessary capital to keep
up the years of development work and
to finally install the cyanide plant,
but it has all been accomplished and
when spring permits the work will
start.
Probably ovcr half of the stock-
noiuers oi uacicamas county nave a
personal knowledge of the mine. Sing
ly, by pairs and in parties they have
made the long, hard trip over the
mountains; have had their own assays
made from the specimens they them
selves have taken from the drifts,
and these men have an abiding faith
that Ogle mine will make more than

An important thing to be taken in
to consideration by the homeseeker
and investor is that of the climatic
conditions of a community. A de
pendable climate is one of the farm
ers assets part of his working capi
tal. It has two relations one to crop
productions and the range of produc
tion, the other to comfort and health.
The climate of Clackamas County
is all that could be desired and offers
every advantage to the different
branches of industry, and is conduc
tive to economic efficiency. The
county is free from cyclones and bliz
zards, and is a land where the farmer
can work out of doors every day in'
the year.
The summer temperature is mod
erate, owing to the cool winds which
blow up the Columbia River from the
Pacific Ocean, or down from the eter
nal snow covered slopes of Mt. Hood
The winters are very mild, and cold
weather is of short duration. This
being the fact, life here is lived at its
best, with an absence of discomfort
ing features and an assurance of con
ditions that tend to the highest pos
sible healthfulncss.
The air is a tonic charged with
health giving properties, which is so
essential to health and comfort. In
fact the climate is one of the most
valuable assets to Clackamas County,

a state wide reputation. Mr. U'Ren is
the father of the initiative and ref
