Tho Highland, formerly tho Knapp Group, was owned by Mr. M.
II. Knapp, who is now sixty-six years of age. Ho discovered the
Highland about fourteen years ago, immediately commenced work
lug on the property, and also concluded that ho could dnvolop it
himsolf without any other capital or aid than his own labor. He
refused to sell, because ho wanted to bo tho owner of a producing
mine and one which, lu his judgmout, would outclass all his
neighbors.
Ho had good reasons for belloving that ho could accomplish all
these things because his neighbors wero all opening up largo ore
bodies and producing largo amounts of money. As tlmo passed on,
in spite of his herculoan efforts, Mr. Knapp realized that alone aud
unaided he could not accomplish his long cborlshed ambition.
Kathor than allow tho Highland to remain idle he decided to noil
tho property, kuowlug full well that with the enlistment of capital
tho Highland would soon enter the list of producing niiiuw of tho
Mother Lodo system.
On January 25, Mr. Knapp sold his properly to the Highland
(Sold Minos Company, of Sumpter, Oregon, and since that time
active dovolopmout has boon carried on with excellent results.
Large bodies of oro havo Iwen ox posed aud the Highland's future
Is assured.
Hardly had tho deeds of tho Highland property to the Highland
Hold Mines Company boon drawn when Mr. Knapp Immediately
purchased a largo block of tho stock, saylug he desired to lx among
tho peoplo to bo bonollttod In the development of the Highland mine.
Sharos aro belug sold In this company lu order to carry on tho
work, aud tho managoiuout sees no reason why Mr. Knapp's expecta
tions should not bo accomplished.
