reading matter. 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.
