THE SUMPTER MINER.
Wednesday, December 6, 1899
ON EVE OF A BIG BOOM.
Portland Paper Tells of Sump
ter's Activity.
Sumpter is on the eve of a big boom.
Capitalists representing millions of money
are interested In the townslte and sur
rounding mines. People are crowding
into the place dally. A good many lots
are being sold; buildings are going up,
and a railroad Is being extended westward
to Clifford, into a timbered district.
One man alone who is Interested in the
townslte and adjacent mines represents
7,ooo,ooo of capital. That gentlemen Is
e.vGovernor Mackintosh, of the North
west Territory, who Is the Canadian and
United States representee of London
capitalists. 'I lie extent of the operations
of this company may be appreciated when
It is known that it controls all the best '
mines In the Kossl.-ind district of British
Columbia, and several properties in Camp
Republic, Washington. During the last'
year It has spent millions in purchasing
valuable Improved mines and in buying
and developing other good properties.
Mr. Mackintosh passed through Portland
Sunday on his way to San l-'ranclsco.
And II may be said that Mr. Mackin
tosh Is not the only pebble on the Sump
ter beach. Mutle, Montana, capitalists
have Income largely interested and Spo
kane men have turned their attention to
ward that new mecca. These are old and
tried veterans in the mining business and
never stake their money in a district with
out there is something to back it up.
Mr Vinson, who owns the waterworks
and electric light plant and is preparing to
operate large Hammond dredgers in the
tlver, is at the Portland. Mr. Calder, in
terested with Governor Mackintosh, Is In
thr city. Other prominent mining men
01 eastern Oregon are making Portland
their headquarters.
"I wish I knew what I Could say," said
a progressive citien today, "to arouse
Portland to the true situation hi eastern
Oregon and the necessity" and sofortli
and so on. Portland Telegram.
Gen. Wimn and CrurlU Booth Defended.
We arc pleased to learn that Sumpter,
the new mining camp In. which General
Charles S. Warren is so extensively In
terested, is proving to be a regular bo
nanza proJucer, despite the clever back
handed, sneeky slaps it Is receiving from
alleged friends. There are a number of
Itutte people who have located in Sump
ter, among them is Charlie Booth. He
and others with the standing they have
would not maliciously misrepresent the
camp, even it they were to be financially
beuelitted; but then, hackcappers are to
In- found in every locality, but who would I
have ever thought that General ChailesS.
Warren, Charlie liooth and other Hutte
men would have their characters and their
reputations for integrity iuestioned, and
particularly right here in Hutte. Itutte I
