Wednesday, January 30, 1901 THE SUMPTER MINER CARROLL B A WONDER. Fabulously Rich Body of Ore Is Also Extensive. A MINER representative was In Baker City a few djvs since and was shown many samples of the tatnilmislv rich ore taken from the htrst srike In the Carroll b, owned by W. L. Vinson. Speaking ot these late developments, the Democrat of Saturday said: The Carroll B mine In the Pleasant V;il ley district, twelve miles southeast of Ma ker City, the property owned and oper ated by W. L. Vinson, continues to be a wonder In the production of free gold ore. The rich shoot of ore in the south level is as rich as the reports Riven out from time to lime during the past sevenl weeks in dkated, and drifting on the vein con tinues. A day or so ago, in the old works and in the northeast level, at a depth of 80 feet, an ore shoot about twelve Inches wide was run into In the leJge, whuh measures over twenty-five feet from wall to wall, that carries almost equal values with the rich vein in the smith level. Mr. Vinson went to the mine on Thurs day and returned In the evening with a large quantity of the ore from the rich strike. The samples are on exhibition and can be seen at his office on the cornet of First and Center streets. Large pieces of rock are one-third gold and are as pretty as any specimens recently shown in this city. The rock has very much the ap pearance of Virtue mine ore and the gold is equal in fineness. Mr. Vinson says the large amount of development at the Carroll B puts the mine beyond the speculative period and establishes its permanency as a wealth producer beyond a peradventure of a doubt. A reduction plant on the property is a matter of early carrying out. Abo "Ki.ock" the Dog Poisoner. Rip, THE MINER office dog, wiJely and more or less favorably known In the bust ness districts, has fallen a victim to the cowardly poisoner, who has been plying his mean avocation Indiscrluatrly of late, several favorites, lellnes as well as canines, having swallowed his deadly bait. The death of Rip has tilled this establishment with gloom. Though always in every body's way, he h id endeared himself to the whole force and a dozen ordinary dogs can't cover the uumeiriis places he has occupied on the office floor, frequently apparently at the same time. He was a wise guy 01 a dug. In early youth one of his hind legs was broken, presumably while eating a live horse's foot. The working of the sympathy racket on ac count of this misfortune was his short life's work, and hi tills bus. ness he had become a true arth.t. Cry to drive him away from the most frrq-ienteu spot in the office, and he Mould hopaw.iv on three legs, with the many months before in jured member hanging limp, ns it it had no bones at all. But just let a strange dog appear in his territory and that take lame leg of his Instantly regained its nat ural functions and he would make a dash at the intruder that would bleak the grey hound's best record. Were the craven wretch who administered the poKo.ieJ po tion as big as a bx car, he can get a bare knuckle fight with the midget of this shop, by revealing his iJrniitv Pennsylvania or any other part of thi globe. The formation of the country and the compositions of the various stratas of earth that underlie this section of Oregon, points undeniably to that fact, and it is his opinion the day is not far distant when this section of Oregon will be as great a producer of coal and petroleum as Penn sylvania ever was. The discovery of gold on Baver creek on the lower Grande Ronde river, go to prove the statement of facts are indisputable. La Grande Chron icle. ST. VALENTINE BALL. Will Be Given to Raise Funds for the Free Reading Room. The executive committee of the free Reading room will give a ball for the sole benefit of the Reading room February 14. There seems to be a misunderstanding in connection with tills ball; some think ing it is given by the Sumpter Social so ciety, thereby depriving us of the help we otherwise would receive. The Social so ciety, as a society, has nothing to do with it, but the members thereof are helping us as they always have. We are working hard to keep the read ing room open, for we feel that it Is a great benefit to our little city and we ask the help of all the people of Sumpter. Let us all work in thla common cause; let every one who feels an Interest in the Reading oom help It along by attending the St. Valentine ball. Those who do not care to dance can be served with supper early in the evening. The lads and hssies will find a post office in the hall, where they can buy and post their valentines. The colors of the evening will be pink and white (valentine colors). Ladles who wish can dress in calico or light goods and gentlemen can wear large ties of pink or white. However, this is only a sugges tion to be followed or not, as you like. The following committees have been appeinted: Floor managers Messrs. Edwards, Hillier, Davidson, Goss, DeNeff and Leon Stoddard. Reception Dr. Fisher, Mesdames Stod dard, Brown, O'Rourke and Mailory. Table Mesdames Condon, Summers, Newburry, Amell, Hickok and Fisher.
