W. C Calder in Portland.
W. C. Calder, the secretary and treas
urer of the Sumpter Townslte company,
has been in Portland several days looking
over the local field. Mr. Calder said to a
Review man that the past winter had been
an active one and they anticipate excep
tional activity during the present summer

cordially greeted by Mr. Charles. Watson, Several properties adjacent to Sumpter
who, rogeiner wmi tils iwn tuoiiiers ana 1!IVe been developed extent
developed extensively, among
which he mentioned the Concord, owned
largely by La Grande and Pendleton
parties. This company has four or live
claims in the sime section as the O. K.
property, upon which some extensive work
Messrs. George Culp and John Horn,
ioustittite the working force.
What seemed to the writer to be a tre
mendous force of water, w ith at least 200
pounds pressure, came down Irom the
mountain In Heavy Iron pipe and, rushing 1 .,s been done. There has been consld
through the uole, w hirled rocks and dirt 1 erable done on the Diadem property also.
doA'ii the bottom ot the gulch toward the T,e nter Mountain Is one of the old prop
ground sluices w ith as much ease as a ten crtes, having been worked for ten years
ton hammer would crack an egg shell on ,,;lst. On the last named property the

volume ol waier seemed, It did not .'Hto-1 :irKC orc tHKlies showiiiK assays of reinnrk
gether satisly the foreman and one of the able value. The Inter Mountain Is one of
lessees of the mine, Mr. Watson, and it
is the intention to move the penstock still
further up the mountain to obtain greater
lressuie.
In addition to the water being forced
through the pipes, the assistance of what
in miners' parlance Is termed a "six-shooter"
is brought Into requisition. This Is
an apparatus placed on a dam erected to
Catch the waters of a small rivulet flowing
down a ravine, and so adjusted that when
the dam is tilled a flood gate Is opened
and the water is allowed to escape. When
the d.uu has. been relieved of the water the
gate closes again. It works automati
cally. The giouud pays from the grass roots
to bedrock, and prospects well from one
end to the other of the claim In fact the
entire length of the gulch.
T, he owner of the claim, Mr. Walter
Rrowu, look fjooo from the claim last
the properties that has always paid for its
own development work. He states there
Is much activity In the Susauville, Can
yon City, Prairie City, Alamo, Lawton
and Granite sections. The roads just at
this time are practically Impassible, there
being hi Sumpter at the present time 125
carloads of freight awaiting transport to
the mines and interior towns. Portland

Who I Tbii Fresh, Fake Drummer?
The Albany Democrat says: "A drum
mer, who was in the city yesterday, says
the bottom has dropped completely out of
Sumpter and that people are leaving fast,
with the price of real estate tumbling from
the pedestal upon which It had been rest
ing. It Is said that Albany men have sev
eral thousand dollars In real estate there
that has already greatly decreased In
value. Another big strike, though, might
revive matters." It would be well for
the citizens of Sumpter to ascertain who
this drummer with the self cocking mouth
Is, and when he makes his periodical trip
to this camp to give him a frost in a busi
ness way, that will at least teach him to
confine himself to something approaching
the truth when Indulging In his favorite
pastime, of listening to the music cf his
own voice. The bottom hasn't fallen
out of Sumpter. The town, its present
and future prosperity, are based on the
surrounding mines. They are still here;
are being worked and continue to produce
gold. Other rich leads are being discov
ered dally. Business in every legitimate
line continues good and there are buyers
here for every bargain offered In real
estate.
