THE SUMPTER MINER.
)
FABULOUSLY RICH.
Carries High Values in Gold,
jLead and Native Copper.
j
H.J.Hill, whose home Is in Oregon
City, but who has mined In this district
for 'eight or nine years past, was In town
Saturday. While here he displayed ome
of the finest samples of native copper
ever taken from the ground. One speci
men is about the size of an egg, fully
three-quarters of which Is pure copper,
carrying rock almost black in color. The
other is a native copper brick, almost rec
tangular in form, weighing about half a
pound.
He says that these specimens were
taken from the Fourteen Thousand Dollar
Nugget, Nos. 1 and 2, which claims are
situated twenty-two miles from Sumpter,
eight miles southwest of the Bonanza
mine. These claims were located late
last fall by himself and Otto Olesen.also
of Oregon City, where he is superintend
ent'of the Electric Light company. He
claims to have a four-foot ledge, all of
which carries great values in copper and
lead; one assay having shown as high as
fossil! gold and the lo vest 5S5 i the
precloi-s metal, together with 30 ounces of
sliver and 65 per cent lead.
The name of the property Is taken from
the fact that in this vicinity the famous
1 4,000 gold nugget was found some
years ago, and some mouths later one of
about half that value. In working over
these old dry diggings last spring a man
named Starr found one 1 14 nugget and
other smaller ones. Mr. Hill thinks his
claims are on the ledge which supplied
these rich placer diggings with gold, which
opinion he bases on the character of the
quartz.
The shaft now being sunk begins at
the, mean water level and as depth is at
tained the srepage prevents rapid and
economical development. To overcome
this difficulty the owners contemplate.
