I'liNII.ANI), Treasurer Secretory Grizzly Gold Mining Company Capital $500,000; In 1,000,000 shares of the par value of Fifty Cents each. Treasury Stock 400,000 shares. PULL PAID AND NON-ASSESSABLE OPPORTUNITY Treasury Stock at TEN CENTS Per Share CASH BASIS All Cash Purchasers Receive a Discount of Five Per Cent on the Investment. INSTALLMENT BASIS Purchasers May Secure Stock in Blocks of 1000 Shares and Upwards, Payable 10 Per Cent Down and 10 Per Cent Each Month Until Paid. GRIZZLY STOCK Affords an opportunity for profitable investment that cannot be equaled in the Sumpter District. The mine is now bcinn actively operated and has readied 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 mine 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. For Prospectus and Further Information, address, Grizzly Gold Mining Co., Sumpter, Ore.

Tlit- HaUer City I Hull School NtiKHet has issued .1 vety interesting historical miinlier, tte.itiiiK of the e.iilyd.iy ot this county. KeK'irdliiK Similiter it says: Ne.11 the foot ol the lilkliiun range "f the Blue mountains, about twenty miles west ol ItaUer City, is the well known town ol Sumpter. I'he history ol tills town he,an In the ' early sUlies and for many years the mines in Its vicinity have been worked and ' abandoned. It is related that liveConfeder- J ate soldiers fiom Price's army left Califor nia tor the g'ld iirhls f Idaho. In the Willamette valley, they joined an e.pe dltion for the Mine Huchet gold Ktilch and thus came as far as the HlUhorn moun tains. On October i, iWii, they discov ered rich gold in ( irlllin's gulch near Similiter, where they built a cabin and called It Port Sumpter, in honor ol the lirst engagement of the Civil war. This, marked the beginning of a nourishing ' mining camp. Por many years, Port Sumpter, as it i was called, until iKKs was represented by but one log cabin, where all wayfarers met a hearty reception. Soon the Chinese came pouting in. They picked about over the choicest ground unmolested for ( over thirty years, and the amount ot gold these Mongolians sent to China will never be known; although it is estimated at many millions. One Chinaman, alone, ' was robbed ot a f 17,000 nugget. I'he immigration of the white men amounteJ to very little before 1867, when miners Irom the Hlu mountains made many locations In this region. They I sunk slults drove tunnels and built arastras, but all proved a lailure, on ac ' count of the lack of other machinery. I The Homina was one of the first dis-' coveries in this district that ever pioduced ' much wealth. It was discovered while placer mining by a man known as Jack Haggard and located to Haggard, Win ters and Dicks. After a year or two they sold It for 53(10 to some persons not at present known. It changed hands sev era I times during the ne.t seven or eight years and was two or three times aband oned and relocated. In 188; its value had been discovered to such an extent that it 1 was sold for fio.ooo to the Bonanza Min ing company. This company built a to stamp mill In 1886, at a cost of 512,000, and spent 40,000 In development work, but it all turned out to be a failure. It was sold to the Gelser family in 1800 for f 3,000, not including the Haggard and a few other claims which they previously accepted in payment of a debt. Active operations began In 1801, and during the ne.t eight years it produced over f 1,000, 000 In gold. Since its early discovery new claims have been added until it now embraces sixteen claims, or an area of over joo acres. It was sold in 1800 for about 5750,000 to the Itonana Gold Min ing aitd Milling company. Hand Drill Does the Work of Eight Men. A press dispatch from Colfax says that V. V. Waite gave a public ex hibition of the working of his new rock j drill, of which mention was made when ' the machine was first patented The test ! was witnessed by a number of men who , are interested in mining. The machine, which Is made to be operated by hand, consists of four hammers, each weighing four pounds, attached to a wheel, which Is turned by hand. The drill Is turned automatically, the whole machinery being operated by turning a crank. One man can run It easily. Much interest was taken in the test, which drew a large crowd. A huge boulder weighing about loo pounds was used for the test. One man turned the crank and drilled a hole In this rock, which is one of the hardest found In this country, at the rate of an Inch each minute. Mining men who wit nessed the test pronounced it a success and say it will revolutionize mining in low grade ore, as the machine does the work of eight men. Those who know the comforts of a good hotel, always patronize The Capital; Mrs. G. B. Tedrowe, proprietor. TIMUl-R I AND. ACT JUNK . 1878-NOTICIi I OK I'l'IILICATION.
