Of thin town it nays : Sumpter, the city of eanteni Oregon, in u typical example of the ttondroua rine of a town following upon thu eatah linhineut of a mining camp, which in ex tent and, in proportion to development, in nehnesa, Iihh ncarcely a parallel in the remarkable hirtory of mining din t.rictM in thin country. A fragmentary Rtretch of a village four yearn ago, it ia now a city of thotiHanda, with a city'n Iioiicm and ambitiona and the natural evidencea of wonderful growth. Thene include 200 buainera hounen, 26 or 30 hotelfi, reatauranta and boarding houiiefl, aome of th'e b'otela fitted with the luxuriea that make modern hotel lifo happy fine room, electric lights, private hatha. Two banka and a half dozen away offlcea carry on a constantly growing buainew. Twenty-five real es tate and brokers' offlcea arebtiay. It haa three of the brightest, most quoted and progressive newspapers in the west; it has churches, excellent schools, tele graph and telephone connection with all the great mines and with the outside world ; it baa a most efficient fire depart ment and a water works system costing 1100,000. It is city and haa ahead of it a career vouchsafed to few cities even of tho western land of prodigal things. For back of her prosperity and aa a groundwork for her futuro brilliant out look is a gold district unsurpaeied in America, only just shadowing forth the great poHnibilities' which lie' bound in the euorn'otiM extent of mineral territory. Humpter Is the center and hui ply base of u vast urea of territory of untold riches. Hhe is in the midst of mining campM whom) output few know accurate ly, but the aggregate of which is tremen dous. And these are only the initial points of a great mining future in which thin favored city will have a chosen part. SUMPTER LIGHT H POWER COMPANY.
