f Wednesday, September j, .1902 THE SUMPTER MINER HAVE YOUR ORE ASSAYED OFTEN Story in "The Miner" Leads to Discovery of a Rich Strike. C. II. Brook, wlio Iiuh been in eliurge of the Iliex mine ciiu-e work wiih huh (n'mlitl there over u year ugu. wiih in town Monday, lie stated while liure that he read in Tiik Minkii two or three weeks since of the rich tttrike in the (iipxy Klnjr, in which it wits ntutetl that the ore resembled dry niortur. He had a few day previoti8ly,levii working on a iroerty of IiIh own in tlie vicinity of the Ibex, and hail tunneled through a lot of rook that at the time i in prone.. I him with the idea that it looked like nothing elce ho much as mouth old mortar, no he decided Irt have Home of it UHHayed the next time he wiih in town. Monday he received IiIh return from it liulf do.en HHHiiyn and wuh agreeably nur pritteil to learn that it carried nearly fLIX) in valiien, mostly in gold. It Id a fact, that miner overatlng in thin district know Iohh iilxiut the oren found here than in any other forty year old mining region on earth. Why thin in ho, 1h a problem dililcult to solve. Dr. Greenlee also met with a mirprise party a few duyH since in getting Home assays of Gipsy King ore. lie Iiiih al ways been tin enthusiastic believer in the great worth of that projorty, ho shortly after IiIh recent return from Wallowa county, he went up to the mine to see how things are looking. Of course, he brought down it lot of ore. He had not seen the sain pics previously as sayed that showed the high values, ho he selected a piece that he thought would carry much gold an also an aver age sample. II in assay returns proved the fallacy of his judgment, just an they did of a half dozen other gentlemen a few weeks since, as stated in Tiik Minkh at the time; what looked to bo the rich est piece of ore carried only a few dol lars, live or six, while the average went close to 1 100. In none of thin rock could a color bo found by imnning u ton. It pays to have assayed every unusual looking piece of ore encountered. So far as accurate knowledge of the many different kinds ot mineral bearing rock found in this district is concerned, the first discovery might have lceu made only yesterday. Klondike'!

I lees, who war recently sent to Dawson by the Canadian Manufacturers' association, to make a thorough investigation into the business prosects of the Yukon terri tory. The state dewrtiiient today made public a statement from United Stales Consul Bruili at Niagara Falls, dated August 8, giving sonie of the principal features of Mr. Hees' report. He points to the fact that the total yield of the Klondike last year was (24,000,000. The production of the coming year will not, according to government estimates, ex ceed $14,000,000, a falling off of nearly one-half. Moreover, no new discoveries have been made for over a year, al though since 1807 thousands of prospec tors have been exploring every creek and mountain in the country. Nattoul Baak For Csayoo City.
