Wednesday, Januaty 9. igoi 12 THE SUMPTER MINER SUMPTER LUMBER CO. J. B. Stoddard, J. H Robbins, S. H. Bell, Incorporators. At the office of Attorney N. C. Rlch.irds the past werl, nrtkles were drawn for the Incorporation of the Suinnter Lumber rninpany, the Incorporators brine, J. H. Stoddard, .1. II. Kobhins and Seymour II. Itell. The capital slock of the company Is fixed at f 50,000. Dio Siunptrr Lumber company, as known In the past, has been n private en trrprise, conducted by J. It. Stoddard, one of the present Incorporators, and has been one of the most successful mills In east ern Oregon. It Is supposed the Intention of the new company in putting In more money Is to enlarge and otherwise advance the Inter ests of the business, preparatory to a heavy run during the cmiiIiik year'. It has been Unown for months past that Seymour II. Hell has been buying timber lauds In this vicinity, and the presumption Is that lliey were bought for the lumber uud not (or speculation. MAMMOTH'S FIRST GOLD BRICK Managfr McCallum Exhibited It Here Lail Friday. Manager II. S. McCallum very proud ly exhibited the first gold brlcl turned out from the Mammoth mine last weel. The production was not one of the usual sle generally carried to market, but .1 miniature one, weighing fioo in value, that can be carried as a pocket piece. This little fellow, however, will soon be melted up again and run into large moulds wilh mom liiillliin, which will represent thousands instead of hundreds. Mr. McCallum reports the Mammoth mill as working like a watch movement, which fact Is not only gratifying to the company, but a credit and source of satis faction to both its manufacturers, the Joshua I Irmly Machine works, of San 1 I'r.tnilscn, and to Millwright Mcl.alu, who dialled the plans and put the ma ihinrry In place hi the buildings, which he also rrritrd. I he iMammoth company Is certainly a (ordinate one, from the fact tint It can start lis mill running on a million dollar body of ore; with everything paid tor and money In the bank besides. I he liald Mountain mill will start up about l;ebiuary 1, under the same con ditions, so far as having everything paid foi, as Miuager McCallum has recently returned fiom Denver, where final pay ments weie made on the property.
