It speaks for itself, and tells the whole story of the condition of the mines and prospective value: Portland, Oregon, November 27, 1907. THE CHAMPION GROUP MINING COMPANY, 206-7-8 Cotich Building Portland, Oregon. Gentjemen We, the undersigned, your committee selected from among the stockholders of the Champion Group Mining Company to visit our mines in Siskiyou county, California, ekamine same and report upon our findings, desire to say: We left Portland Wednesday night, November 20, 1907, at 7:45 p. m., via the Southern Pacific railroad. We arrived in Yreka, California, Thursday evening and on Friday morning went out to the mines, which are situated between six and seven miles west of Yreka. We remained at the mines for some days. We are rejoiced to report, that as stockholders, as well .as your com mittee, we are satisfied that in the main we found the property, the build ings,, Jhe improvements and development " work as has been represented by the management of the company. It is our united opinion that the stockholders, ourselves included, have made a good investment, however, conservatively speaking, we would be better pleased if the directors of our company for some months to come would use its surplus in adding additional improvements, rather than to too prematurely declare dividends. It is our deliberate opinion, predicted upon our individual observation, plus the mining experience of one of our number, Who is an old-time mining engineer, that it is only a matter of time and that, too, in the near future, when our mines must prove large dividend payers by reason of the profit able production of ore- and copper we are sure to get out of them. We are quite confident that the foreman at the mines, Mr. O. H. Poor, is an experienced miner, and that he is using his best efforts in the interest of our company. , In the town of Yreka, and the surrounding country,, the business men and citizens in general spoke favorably of 'the holdings of 'the Champion Group Mining Company, of its management and its favorable outlook, which, sorne stated, is now looked upon as an achieved success, There is much more we might report, all of which would be highly satis factory, but we do not desire to add to the length of our report. Suffice it to say that we collectively and individually affirm that, since our visit to the mines, we would not dispose of our individual holdings, for several times the cost to us. All of which we respectfully submit to the management, and to the body of stockholders in general, of the Champion Group Mining Company: - O. J. SHERMAN,, J. H. BRANDKAMP, W. L. VAN HOUTEN, WM. E.
