A Sumptcr, Oregon, Corporation. The First Allotment of 100,000 Shares will be Placed on the Market at That Date to be Disposed of at Six (6) Cents Per Share. , $, TO INVESTORS Having been successful in financing tho Friday (ioltl Mining Comitanv, wo now denim to announce that we have been appointed financial agents of the HIGHLAND GOLD MINKS COMPANY, a Sumpter, Oregon, corporation, which recently purchased and now owua tho Knapp Group of Mines, consisting of four claim, situated in the Blue Mountains of Eastern Oregon, on the main Klkhorn divide between the headwaters of Cracker Creek and Hock Creek, about eight miles from the City of Sumpter, Baker county, Oregon. Colonel M L Lohmire, E. M., of Baker City, Oregon, one of the moat competent and conservative mining engineers in the Northwest, after making a thorough examination of this group, speaking of the vein traversing the entire length of II claims, in his report, stated : "There are no faults or throws, or any dislocations along its course, but it is a strong, continuous and well defined vein, showing in all the different tunnels, shafts and cutB to bo well mineralized and distinctly defined. But few mines carry commercial values in gold and silver for so long a distance ; in fact, I have seldom seen in my long years in mining exis tence, a vein so strong and persistent in carrying such fair values as this ono for so long a distanco along its course or strike. "In submitting this report for your favorablo consideration, I would say that as a whole there are but few mining proiMsltions that have for the future better features, all in all, for developing into an A No. 1 Aline. The Bannock Burn claim alone will, without a doubt, de velop into a great mine, for it has every feature for so doing strength of Assuring, width of same and the continuous stretch of ore, and the values from east to west which is shown by the 'openings on the vein and the throw of its float flora the apex. . "For the past three years I have examined many properties in Kastcrn Oregon, and this one has always struck me as being one of the valuable ones." In placing this stock upon tho market, we shall not attempt to mako our showing on ac count of the adjoining projwrties, or to make you boliove wo havo a big mine, just because we liapjHJii to be on the same zone as tho great North Pole, K. and K., Columbia and Golconda on tho west, and the Maxwell, Kobbins-Klkhorn and tho Baisloy-Klkhorii on tho east, hut will simply let the Knapp Group of Mines show for itself. Wo ask you to visit the property, learn the facts for yoursolf ; and if you aro desirous of making a fair investment, you' may visit tho proierty without coBt to you ; wo will pay your expenses if tho facts are not exactly as represented.
