SUMPTER, OREGON.
CAPTAIN WORTH MAKES A TALK.
Tclb Seattle People of Thk Wonderful
Mining Region.
The mining possibilities of the Blue
mountains in eastern Oregon are attract
ing the attention of prospectors and
capitalists, and several Seattle men
Jiave been tempted to risk their future
fortunes in that section.. During the
past week Captain Frank Worth has re
turned from an extended sojourn about
Sumpter; arid his Impressions' dnd opin
ions of that section will be of interest to
all who have a desire to become corinect--id
with-the-minirig Industry. Strld he:
"I spent about three weeks in eastern
Oregon and traveled pretty thoroughly
over a region having a radius of about
.thirty miles. I was accompanied by
James Bunigardner, one of the experi
enced prospectors in that country, who
has made'locations that have proved to
be among', t Mo best mines in that section.
"The country is one easy to travel
over; there is litttle underbrush and the
.grades are not steep, or not so steep as
they are in most mining countries. An
other consideration that Impressed me
very favorably is the ease with' which
one can get in and out of the country.
A narrow gauge road runs front Baker
City up to Sumpter and good wagon
roads extend in all directions. The
country is well provided with timber
iin'd water "for mining purposes, and
frosa indications on the outcropping of
the lodges the mountains there are well
iupplttd WhhtnlBerar deports.
"The most of my time was spent in
the vicinity of Bourne, a mining tow
contiguous to Cracker creek and Wind
creek. There are a" number of produc
ing mJatottotaeetibn'BBdi an unllat-'
lted number of locations out of which
it la presumed that fickle fortunes will be
iaken. The Tammany property, in which
8eattle men are interested, has a tunnel
300 feet in depth and presents very good
prospects of making a paying mine.
The prospecting tunnel on the Jnstice
Is disclosing some very good ore, somo
going as high as $172.77. The Gold King
properties consist of a group of twelve
claims that have been located this
spring by a company of Seaiile men.
The claims all present good surface indi
cations. Tlie Yankee Jim1 has a tunnel
in 200 feet arid the owners refused $35,
000 for the property a' short time ago.
The Porcupine is located on the same
lodge as the Justice arid presents some
of the surface showings iri that locality.
"Many people are iri that district from
all parts of the United States, some of
them prospectors,, but triariy of them are
capitalists who are ready to buy any
property that gives a reasonable assur
ance that it will make a mine.
"About Bourne the country Is pretty
well located, but farther west and in the
Greenhorn mountains to the south there
is a vast amount of new territory, and I
am told that it possesses several good
properties." Seattle Times.
