Kcgiirdiug tlilH organization, 11 groat

in tho different mining journals, Mr.

Hotter is most enthusiastic and
thinks that by all means tho Sumpter
mine operators should form a similar
Institution. Itolativo to tho plan
and work of the association, ho says:
"Our main object is to ollmluato
tho wild cattor and cut rato brokor,
and place legitimate mining on its
true footing before tho people
Mining, I moan real mining, has
suffered mora at tho hands of these
people than from any othor source,
and our organization Is doing ita
sliaro to put thorn nut of business.
When a company makes application
for membership in tho association, a
committoo is appointed to roport ou
Its standing mid also on tho merits
of Its mining property. If tho roport
is unfavorable, tho application is
very promplty rejected. Our In
vestigations in this particular aro
conducted with great care and
fairness. In this way wo aro suro to
got only legitimate oporators.
"Ou tho reverse sldo of tho com
pany's lettor heads aro two cuts
representing the legitimate and tho
Illegitimate operator. Tho ono shows
the face of a tunnel with men at
work, and the other, a splder-liko
Individual with flashing diamonds
heated in a well appointed office, and
l"1 (n0 corner or tlio picture is a
"'csolato and miserablo looking little
hole in the ground. It Is clear to
bo seen where tho money wout In the
two instances, and it is a pretty just
representation.
"If every mining confer would
adopt similar methods, and advortiso
its work as we aro trying to do, it
"ll

.1. 1',
McCuigaii. superintendent of ,
the Alamo, was In the city yesterday '
and stated that the grading for the
, stamp mill had been completed and .
that work ou the buildings would bo
started at once. Mr. McOuigau says I
that, the sawmill recently put ill
operation has cut more than enough
lumber for tho buildings but that ho
has decided to cut another 100,000
feet before stopping.
The machinery for the ten stamp
mill to be Installed was ordered soino
time ago, aud its arrival is dally
expected.
Married In Baker City.
W. II. Mather left hero Monday.
This afternoon at 4 o'clock ho will
lie married iu linker City to Miss
LeouaThompsou, formerly of Sumpter.
They will leave for Spokaue, where
they will remain during tho winter,
returning hero in the spring. Both
are well and favorably known in this
city and their largo circle of friends
will not only bo pleased but surprised
to bear of tholr marriage, as Mr.
Mather "held out" on them before
leaving.
DECIDE TO SINK
100 FEET DEEPER.
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE )
decided that it would bo best not to
try to patch tho shaft, but to rotlmbor
it throughout, and also sink it 100
foot deopor boforo commencing tho
extraction of ore to run through tho
mill, oh by stopiug ore from the
bottom of tho drifts which would be
run from tho shaft it will allow room

above and in that way tho using of
great quantities of timber will be
avoided as tho waste rock will tako
tho placo of timbors and koop tho
walls from caving in.
Tho sinking of tho shaft 100 foot
deepor should open up largo quanti
ties of oro, several times moro than
tboro is in sight, actually blocked
out, at prosout, and thus assuro the
continual running of a mill for a
number of years upon tho oro blocked
out. Thoro can be no doubt about
the finding of tho voin at this pro
posed depth, as It has been thoroughly
demonstrated by tho Cbcckmato
workings that the oro bodies aro
doep seated, and tho pormauouoy or
tho continuation of tho veins to
groat aud unknown depths is assured.
Tho merits and values of tho camp
of Pearl havo boen demonstrated to
tho outiro satisfaction of all mining
mou who havo becomo acquainted
with tho camp within the last couple
of years. Tho volns or oio bodies
havo boon proven to increase in
width, longth and values, and as far
as tho oro is concerned tho camp is
assured of a very bright future and Is
considered safe to mine in.
DON JUAN UN WATERED
Mill to Start Temporarily
Test Ore.
to
Tho unwatoriug of tho Don Juan,
iu tho Greenhorn district, was
completed yesteiday, and A. H.
lirowuo, consulting engineer for the
company, who has just returned from
tho property, states that work is to
be started at ouco, testing tho oro ou
tho lower elvels.
The mill will lie started up at onco
for a short tlmo for this purpose and
upon the tests will depend tho futuro
development of the mine. It Is not
understood that tho mill is to bo run
continuously, but merely started up
temporarily to test tho oro from tho
lower levels.
Concert Company.
It. W. Kelsey, manager of tho
Knox Kantner Concert company, was
in Sumpter the today arranging dates
for his compauy. Mr. Knox has a
national reputation as an imperson
ator aud tho company is meeting
with great success ou the coast where
peoplo havo loug wished for a goou
malo quartette. Tho dates for
Sumpter will bo auuounced later.
I invite the ladies of Sumpter and
