THE SUMPTER MINER. Wednesday, June 20, 1900 The Sumpter Miner Official Paper of the Town of Sumpter. I'UIIIMll II IVIHV UIIIMSIIAV IIV C. II. .MARSH ami J. W.

BOIII political parties claim to draw consolation Irom 1 1 it- results in tile recent Oregon election, In that case every body, e.uept tire deleated candidates, ought to be satislied. I ill: (iiilv drawback to the eastern Ore Kim gold fields Is tli.it thev are not Millie lently distant from the centers of finance .mil civilization to look alluringly green; this distance is not ure.it enough to lend enchantment to the view. Till: local "knockers" are doubtless a branch of the Chinese Boxers. 'I heir alms are similar; the former devoting their efforts to pievent "foreigners" from com ing Into this country, the latter to exterm inating those who have gone into China. Both should be suppressed. AND now tile larger cities of the North west are making a leiiiunt ol their res pective Inhabitants. I hey have made ridiculously exaggerated claims as to theii population, likll the ieiiMis tails to sus tain. Spokane claims to have added )ooo names to the list in one dav. StJ.MI'll U'.s I'liuitli of Inly celebration is going to be 1 gi.ttib lug success. I lie liaiitlsome gold and di iiuoiul medals and l.uge purses to be awarded to the winners olthern.k dlilliug contest will slltrlv bring the millets line on that diy, and in tlie.se pails the miners constitute the de sirable croud. WllAlhVI l may be the Mibseciiienl results, the building ol railroads into a section not before re.uhed bv steam trans portation, always gives tli.it section a gieat and rapid impetus in the way ot In creased population and Industrial develop ment. I he "Isolated l:mpire" to the west and south ol Sumpter, in ir.int and Harney counties, is now on the eve ot siuh an era ol activity and it a boom ol much intensity and large dimensions doesn't materialize oer theie within a vear, it will be an exception to tin- natural law that Imperatively demands that his-, tujy repeat llsell. SO U millions ol Canadian capital is steKlug investment in the mines ol the Sumpter dlstilit. I liese Canadians know a good thing when they sre it, and when thev corial everything ot the ixlud in sight hereabouts, home capitalists will begin to realize that it is a t.itt that thev hae overlooked some pradkallv sine thing bits. Portland peo ple ought to make some elloit to prevent the millions ol gold that is going to be produced In eastern Oregon hi the future trout being shipped out ot the state, hut New York and London drafts all look alike to local mine owners and it the gentlemen U0111 the noith oiler to do business tirst, they will si'tely secuie the choice bat-gains. Rlil'OKlS regarding the recent hostile demonstrations in China are not complete or accurate. One dispatch says: "China declared war against the world when the I'aku forts opened lire upon the Interna tional fleet. The accounts of what took pl.ue ate still unsatisfactory, the best semi-official Information being the dis patch received at Berlin from Che-Foo." The unofficial narratives coming by way of Shanghai vary, and bear evidence of supplementing the main facts with guess 'work. One account says that the York town participated In the bombardment. Another asserts that American marines formed part of the storming force of 2000. It is comparatively certain, however, that China has taken the one step too far, that will result in the downfall of the oldest dynasty on the globe. IT now looks as if Roosevelt will be nominated by the Republican national convention for vice-president, though the wires report that he still protests. Piatt and the other bosses seem to be determin ed in this way to kill him politically. I lie nomination, or even election, to the vice-presidency lias ever been the death signal of the political victim. Late reports state the administration Is opposed to the New York governor and that llanna is making a stubborn tight against his nomination, alleging that Piatt Is urging his candidacy merely to elimi nate him from the New York slate, be cause lie can't control him. Others de clare that the "liasy Boss" has the ad ditional motive of using Roosevelt's pop ularity as a club with which to pound llanna and McKinley. J 9!1 n Temple Grayson 1 Mining Expert and...
