Wednesday, June 20, 1900. THE SUMPTER MINER. 11 "V. ' FINAL PAYMENT MADE. Last 530,000 Paid on Bunker Hill Mine. the John J. Penhale returned here last Friday direct from Sherbroole, Canada, where lie went several weeks aco to ton- f ...m. 1.1 ..ti- .1. .. 1 . mm in ..u,iaies, me owners ot me ' unkerHlll mine. In the Cracker Creek district, and of which lie Is the local mana ger. Mr. Penhale says the people of eastern Canada are taking great Interest in the mines or the Sumpter district, as is shown by the fact that they are heavily investing their capital here, and this too, at a time when the English and Canadaln money market Is feverisli and the people are inclined to be very conservative. Tills goes to show their talth in the dis trict In question. The object of Mr. Penhale's return at tills time was to make the final payment of $30,000 on the Hunker Hill property, wliicli was done yesterday, and he re turned to Sherbrooke with the deed to that mine in his possession. He has also laid out the work", which will be continued at the mine during Ills absence of three or four weeks more, when he will return to remain permanent Iv, bringing his family here to live In Sumpter, from which point he can direct operations on other properties under his management, one of which Is the Honan.i West, adjoining the Bonanza mine at Geiscr, and which is owned by tlis same parties, virtually, as the Hunker Hill, though it is a seperate corporation, and it is in a different district. .Mr. Penhale visited the Honaiua West Sunday and reports active work going on there In a satisfactory way. On Ills re turn in a tew weeks lie expects some of the eastern stockholders to accompany him. 1MB MlNI-K has repeatedly men tioned the desirability of Interesting Cana dian capitalists in the gold fields here abouts and knowlngfrom former experience that the people from across the line will back up their judgement and ideas with their money, which, when intelligently and practically applied, Is the key to the success which will be theirs in the end. It is postively known that heavy investment of the eastern money is contemplated here at an early day, the particulars of which cannot now be divulged, but which, when consummated, will make some of the Pacific coast capitalists wonder why they have waited so long.
