THE SUMPTER MINER
GIPSY KING ORGANIZED
One of the Most Attractive
Propositions in the State.
The men who are Interested in the
Gipsy King group of mines, on the Big
Limber In Cable Cove district, came Into
town Saturday to spend Christmas and
complete the organization of the Gipsy
King Gold Mines Co. Eight or ten peo
pie are interested in the property, consist
ing of three full claims and an excellent
water right. A deed was executed trans
ferring all to the company above maned.
The title is absolute, without a flaw.
Directors elected are Eugene Rartholf,
William Rumery, J. F. Alden and Dr. A.
K. Greenlee, all of whom are widely and
favorably known In mining and commer
cial circles of eastern Oregon. The
officers are Eugene Bartholf, president;
Dr. A. R. Greenlee, vice president; J. H.
Robblns, treasurer, and Otto Herlocker,
secretary. Mr. Bartholf located the
claims; Dr. Greenlee Is a leading dentist
of this town, Mr. Robblns is president
and Mr. Herlocker bookkeeper of the First
Bank of Sumpter. Mr. Bartholf was also
appointed superintendent.
This is considered one of, if not the
best stock propositions in eastern Oregon.
The ore is of sufficient value to make ship
ping proffitable, so that comparatively
little of the treasury stock will have to be
sold In the early, cheap stages of develop
ment. The ledge Is already stripped for
200 feet from the foot of the mountain.
Open cuts have been made all the way to
the summit, 3000 feet, showing a continu
ous, strong vein. A good tunnel site has
been selected, which will have to be
driven only thirty-five feet to cut the
vein, at an angle of about forty degrees.
The Intention is then to drift on the vein,
and a depth of 1800 feet can be obtained
by driving the tunnel 2,100 feet. It is
estimated that the ore taken from this
tunnel will go a long ways towards pay
ing for the work. There Is a five-foot
vein, which gives assays from $14 to J40,
practically on the surface.
The by-laws of the company provide
that no officer shall receive a salary for
one year. At the end of that time it is
expected that work will have progressed
sufficiently to make it a steady producer;
when it will either ship regularly or else
put in a reduction plant. From the road
to the Baby McKee a route over easy
grades has been surveyed to the mine, a
distance of only two miles. This road
will be built early in the spring, alter
which occasional shipments will be made.
In the meantime, work will be pushed.
The company is capitalized at f 1,000,
000, of which amount 1 250,000 worth of
stock has been placed in the treasury.
The remaining 750,000 shares, held by In:
dividuals, has all been pooled for one year
from date of organization, which will in
sure buyers of treasury stock that the
market will not be flooded with Gipsy
King certificates.
Taken, all in all, this is one of the best
mining propositions; one of the safest and
surest Investments yet placed before the
public from eastern Oregon.
Extensive Development at the Red Bird.
The Red Bird Gold Mining company, In
which prominent Portland and Tacoma
people are holding the controlling interest
and have been doing extensive develop
ment work for the past two months, has
made a splendid showing. A iso-foot
shaft has been sunk and over 70 feet of
crosscut tunnel has been run already, and
a 5-foot vein of $17 ore has been disclosed.
This property consists of five full claims
which He one half mile from the Gold Hill
and a little over two miles from the Gold
Ridge, near Express. The owners feel
quite jubilant over the extremely good
showing made, and will prosecute work
on a larger scale with as much speed a
possible. This Express district Is fast
coming to the front and ere long large
revenues will be forthcoming from a num
ber of mines which are hot already send
ing In their little bunch of gold regularly.
