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'! Golden Star Wining.
A Washington, D. C, press illspatth
of recent dale says : The golden star of
thpJttiendiko is on the wane, according
to the ollicial resrt of George II. 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.
