Fourth & Morrison, Portland - - Oregon THE CRACKER SUMMIT GOLD MINING COM PANY own eight quartz claims and one placer claim and mill site in the famous Cracker Creek District, adjoining the properties of three of Eastern Oregbns heaviest .producing mines, namely the Col umbia, E & E'and North Pole, and are but three thous and feet from the famous Golconda mine, on the same ledge as the Climax, Ohio, Cyclone and Free Coinage claims. The company owns 4500 feet of this ledge rang ing from 7 to 40 feet in width. The vein has been opened by shafts, tunnels and open cuts for a distance of 2100 feet, showing a pay shoot 160 feet in length and 7 feet wide. A "shaft has been sunk on this pay shoot 35 feet in depth, showing that values hold out and increase with depth. Samples taken from this shaft assay from 5.30 to 546.1c; per ton and picked samples have assayed as high as $2 10.78 per ton. 'I he shaft was thoroughly sampled across its entire width of 7 feet, every 5 feet for its entire depth by two reli able experts giving an average of about "10 per ton. Outside of this payshoot the average runs about $5.30 per ton. Beside this ledge the Company has three other ledges on which the assessment work only has been done showing values from 41 cents to 7 per ton. The claims are heavily timbered and well watered, having 4 small streams which flow the year round from tne west vein which is a contact between slate and granite, and will furnish power enough for a 10 drill compressor. The formation is the same as all of the large mines in the neighborhood, being a black metamorphic slate; that lying next the foot wall having the appearance of quartzite. The development consists of 125 feet of tunnels, over 100 feet of shafts and about 390 feet of open cuts. The ledge can be tapped at a depth of 635 feet by a crosscut tunnel 1012 feet in length, the ore can be brought through this tunnel to the mill by gravity, thus saving expensive hoisting and pumping machinery. There is a good substantial blacksmith shop and outfit of tools on the ground and good wagon roads into the property. The officers of the company are James Clark, pres ident; Leon H. Long, vice president; George H. Lins ley, secretary and treasurer and H. W. B. Smith, gen eral manager, the above named gentlemen together with J. C. McFadden, of Walla Walla, form the board of directors. Capitalization 1,000,000 shares, par value 21; cents each, fully paid and non-assessable, with 400,000 shares in the treasury. The first issue of 50,000 shares is offered at 10 cents per share. The price of succeed ing issues will be advanced as development proceeds. Every share of the personal stock is pooled until treas ury stock reaches 50 cents per share, so that treasury stock will not be crowded out by individual offerings of personal stock, thus insuring ample funds for the treasury, every cent of which will be spent to make a producing mine of the Cracker Summit property. All checks and drafts should be made payable to George H. Linsley secretary and treasurer.
