THE SUMPTER MINER.
BUY FOUR CLAIMS.
Rich Miners From the Slocan
Invest in This District.
J. J. Hennesy "and John Martin, two
successful miners from the Slocan coun
try, British Columbia, spent a week or
ten days in Sumpter, leaving for the north
Monday.
While here they purchased an Interest
In the War Eagle, near the Bonanza, the
Domingo, Sweepstake and Riverside, In
the Cracker creek district. They are now
in Spokane, but will return here early in
January and begin work on these prop
ertles.
Both are old Montana and British Co
lumbla friends of General Warren, and
have ample capital. They recently sold a
mine In the Slocan district for 5185,000.
J. J. Hennesy discovered and located the
Noble Five, one of the most profitable
and widely known mines in British Co
lumbia. He has recently returned from
Dawson City, where lie lemained a year
or more. He says the Sumpter district Is
good enough for him, and he Is going to
remain here. Mr. Hennesey Is still a
young man, but has operated in most of
the best mining districts of the west, and
his favorable judgment of this one Is an
other evidence that it Is the greatest of all.
General Warren says that John Martin
has few equals and no superior as a practi
cal miner and is a good man for any dis
trict to secure.
