THE SUMPTER MINER

CONCORD IS A WONDER
Over $100,000 Worth of High
Grade Ore in Sight.
Concerning the Concord mine, of which
J. H. Kobblns, president of the First
Dank of Sumptcr, Is the generally recog
nized head and manager, many favorable
things have recently been heard, com
ing from various prominent mining men.
Among these was one of the most con
servative who had to say about like this:
"The Concord looks like It would revo
lutionise things about here and if the
values continue as they have In the last
twenty feet, It will make one of the great
est producers In all eastern Oregon."
This man was basing his remarks on
actual facts demonstrated by the exam
ination and report of one of the most
noted and practical experts that has visit
ed this district. Prom assay figures ob
tained by Till: MlNI-K, taken from a gen
eral average nf 2 to 2'i feet In width and
20 feet In length from the Concord tunnel,
an average value nf 952.12 was the result
and this at a depth of 500 feet. At this
point In development, It Is easy to calcu
late J 1 00,000 worth of ore In actaul sight
and It can be candidly said that this Is
leaving nut of consideration all the low
grade ore.
The result of the Investigation made by
the party referred to, and who has done
the expert work of two wealthy west
ern mining men for several years, Is grat
ifying, not only to the Concord people, but
to all who are Interested in this section.
It-Is not improbale that his luvestlga
tlon will be the means of inducing his
principals t take up something here for
themselves, which would be still further
gratifying, as they are among the heavi
est and most successful mining operators
In the west.
face, forming a rivulet as other springs
do, but is a hole In the ground en: foot
across. The water comes up on one side
of the hole and goes out on the other side,
underground; on It goes, no one knows
where. The water is always Icy cold,
clear as a crystal and always In a rush.
The depth cannot be measured, the
stream being so swift the measuring poles
are forced out of the hands and carried on
underground, never to be seen again, and
so with everything dropped into it; It is
gone forever. Standing near thjs spring,
one cpn feel the earth slightly tremble
and hear a roaring underground like
water falling over a precipice. Blue

YELLOW DAISY COMPANY.
Mining Stock umpt From 3 cent to $5.
The Investor, of Denver, cities the
Gold Coin mine, ol Victor, Colorado, as
nn Illustration of the profits In good min
ing stock, saying: Five years ago the
stock of this company was offered at 3
cents per share, par value ft, to a Wash
ington attorney, who thought it was an
unsafe risk to take, and the offer was de
clined. He was urged to Invest 500 In
this stock, which was then offered at 3
cents per share. The Gold Coin has
been paying dividends from t to 3 cents
per share per month on Its capitalization
of tt,ooo,ooo for the past tour years, and
the stock Is now wortli 1 5.2$ per share.
Hud the lawyer invested the 1 500, as re
quested, he would have gotten 16,500
shares, which are tod.iy wortli s per
hare, or over ftlo.ooo, to say nothing of
the dividends earned In the meantime,
which have amounted to nearly half a
million dollars.
How Hogs arc ScalcUd at VU.
Many perhaps do not know the method
adopted for scalding hogs In Vale during
butchering season. They are taken
across the river to the hot springs, where
a hole Is dug In the sand on the bank of
the river and hot water let In. The hogs
are then emersed and Immediately pulled
out, when the bristles ars slipped off just
at easy as water running off a duck's
back. Hot and cold water right at hand
It quite an advantage. The hot stuff
comes off of this mysterious mountain In
to the river for a distance of a quarter of a
mile or more. Mean are being taken to
corral this water, and when well In hand
It can be used for various purposes Vale

Tblt Promising Property It Being Rapidly
Developed.
A representative of the Standard was a
visitor on Saturday to the claims of the
Yellow Daisy Gold Mining company,
mention of whose recent corporation was
made last week. S. B. Dourty, one 'of
the locators of the group and also one of
the principal stockholders, and W. B.
Sargent, president of the company, took
the reporter over the claims and showed
him so many different leads as to fairly
dazzel and bewilder him.
The Yellow Daisy claims are situated
on the south side of Spokane mountain,
and are In full view of the stamp mill and
hoist of the famous Red Boy mine. The
surface Work on these claims show ten
distinct ledges varying In width from 12
inches to several feet. Another thing
about these ledges Is that a pan test of
ore from anyone of them never falls to
show a nice string of colors, and assays
better than i6 per ton have been made
from samples taken from the Yellow
Daisy mines.
About 500 feet of development work
has been done on the claims 36$ feet in
one crosscut tunnel, and 130 feet in an
other, upon which work is being pushed
and In which they expect to strike one of
the ledges in about 20 feet farther.
It Is the Intention of the new corpora
tion to push the development of the Yet
low Daisy mines as rapidly as possible,
and, if such a thing can be done, make a
mine on Spokane mountain that will have
no rival in the camp. All indications at
present are In favor of their realizing their
expectations, as for the amount of work
that has been done they can show values
and ore the equal of any mine In the
country when at the same stage of devel
opment. Lawton Standard.
