Wednesday, December 13, 1899 i PROMINENT PEOPLE. F. C. BRODIE, ii THE SUMPTER MINER. Portland Delegation Arrive on a Special Train Saturday. The special train on the Stimpter Valley railway Saturday afternoon brought to town several prominent gentlemen, among whom were H. Campbell, general traffic manager, W. II.

Holse, a prominent attorney and president of the Portland Commercial club, E. Cannon, president of the North west Electric Engineering company, all of Portland; Ex-Governor Mack, from Spo kane, and W. I.. Vinson, the Sumpter promoter. These prominent visitors were the guests of the last named gentleman, who never neglects an opportunity to turn a trick In the interest of this camp. This is the second visit Mr. Hurlburt has made here within a month, lie Is evidently be coming Interested in the proposition, but in just what way he does not care to state. It Is a matter of much speculation here as tn whether he is acting In his capacity as an O. It. A N. o Hi da I, or is merely ar ranging to make a deal to his personal ad vantage. Whichever It may be, It is sure to redound to Sumpter's advantage. He Is good people to have "on our side." Mr. Schilling has for some time past !reu opening up a mine near the (Jolconda which bids lull to rival that famous prop erty. The other members of the party were here lr some specllic purpose, but their policy Is evidently to 'Saw wood and say nothing." Their visit here Is a sure sign that Portland is becoming Interested in the Sumpter district, and that means much ot a gratilylng nature. More Money for Developing Mines. K. H. Bachelor, of Hay, Washington, spent several days in Sumpter, leaving lor home yesterday. He is interested in several properties in this district with T. C.
