LY STOCK
Affords an opportunity for profitable investment that cannot be equaled in the Sumpter District. The mine is now
being actively operated and has reached a degree of development practically assuring the stability of the mine.
The ledge, carrying high values in gold, copper and silver, is over 40 feet in width. Work is being rapidly pushed,
tunnelling and sinking on the ledge, blocking out ore and adding to the pay dumps, and it may be expected that
the mint1 will be a producer and the company a dividend payer at an early date. Every dollar realized by the
company from the sale of treasury stock is being used for improving the property. The sale of stock will be con
tinued until the mine is a producer,. As development progresses the price of stock will be advanced.
Secure this stock now at 10 cents. That it will be worth its par value within 12 months is a conservate es
timate. Subscriptions for stock may be sent to the company direct, or to the First Bank cf Sumpter, Sumpter, Ore.

Placer Mining.
A mining region, one of exceptional In

norlliwcsteily direction from H.iler City,
now known as the Nelson placets. The

The source from whence came all this
placer gold has scarcely been tapped; the
rich quartz, ledges which are being devel
oped up the gulches In close proximity,
are telling the story; solving the mystery
and revealing the secret source from
whence came so much gold. Mr. Nelson,
the pioneer miner of eastern Oregon, who
located the Nelson placer mines away
back in the '60s, is now with a large
force of men working the ( iiinbolt quart

Rich Rock Creek.
The Chloride mine 011 Hock creek,
owned by Tennessee people, and which
has been under a systematic course of de
velopment for over a year past, Is said to
be making as line a showing as any mine
in the county. It N very probable Itsown
ers will have a mill erected on it in the
spring. Other properties In the vicinity
of the Chloride are likewise developing
into good mines and it is now conceded
that the Hock Creek district Is one of til.
best mineral belts in the eastern Oregon
gold tields. Democrat.
I'he Bock Creek district Is situated a
little north and east of the Cable Cove
section, which Is now attracting the atten
tion of the leading milling men, both here
and in the east, and will be the scene of
greates activity in eastern Oregon this
summer. '
Half the Utual Snowfall.
Oregon's snowfall up to date Is about
half the average of other years. Forecast
Official Beals has received reports from 43
points in the mountain districts of the
coast and eastern Oregon. With but a
single exception the repotts indicate con
siderable of a deficiency in the snow fall.
This exception is a point in Union county,
where an average snowfall Is reported.
The dlfficiency is about the same In the
Coast range as in the Blue mountains of
eastern Oregon. The reason for the
shortage in the snow crop is the high tem
perature during December, which pro
duced rain Instead of snow. Telegram.

Lively Times Ahead.

Many big deals are talked of and lively
times In mining are probable In the near
future. Democrat.
