The Gold Hue-Grizzly Gold Mining
company has acquired by purchase seven
additional mining claims, all adjoining Its
properties, which are situated next to the
Ibex mine on the west. The newly pur-
development show It cannot be made a
mine, and yet It may, as a prospect, have
had great promise and worthy the ex

The rumor Is again afloat that the May
Queen mine, adjacent to this city, is again
to resume operations. Just where the re

that it is based on facts. The May Quten

work has been In constant progress in the

uncovered to warrant the management in
again starting up the mill. On top of the

k create a larger treasury fund for more Im
provement and rapid development of the
mine. Mr. Hennessy, who locally man
ages the property and has given his entire
time to the Sumpter district for the past
year, is conlideut that the Gold Bug
Grizzly will make oneof the largest mines
in eastern Oregon, and certainly has the
confidence ot some of the best mining
men in the west regarding his judgment.
Will Some One Please Define "Wildcat"?
Will some croaker or cent per cent
money lo.uier who thrives on the ready
circulating money of a mining camp, and
who is everlastingly cautioning people to
beware of "wildcat" mines, have the
good grace to define the term. Let him
do so and every condition he applies will
be met by producing a great mine which,
at one time, possessed the alleged attri
butes. Is a mine a "wildcat" because the
stock of the company owning it is selling
at a nominal figure? If so, then the
Granite Mountain was a "wildcat," for
its stock was sold for less than 10 cents a
share, yet it-paid over ij, 000,000 in div
idends, and is still being profitably oper
ated. Iron Mountain was sold as low as
8 lents and lias paid over half a million in
dividends. These mines were once only
prospects with ten-fuot holes, and so was
every other great mine. The fact is, a
"wildcat" is only such when time and
