Wednesday, February io, 1904 THE SUMPTER MINER 15 CENTS PER SHARE 15 CENTS PER SHARE MINING FOREST CO tf We have decided to place upon the market 100,000 slum's ol the tr oh miry stock (or the nolo purpose of preparing the "STORM KING" pioupiu condition (or a mill in the early spring. We will quote yon extracts (roin the reports written by the best mining authorities in Oregon, which will show conclusively the wonderful richness of the STOUM KING group of seven claim situated in the Cable Cove Mining District o( Kattern Oregon, operated by the FORKST MINING COMPANY of Snmpter, Oregon "In making my report I Mill commence with tlie Kureka and Honest Dollar claims. The development on these consist of an adit Ninety-seven (eet in length; showing two feet and ten inches of ore in the top; ami a little over three feet wide in the bottom. With assays ranging from 18 (IS to $70 per ton in gold. About four hundred feet in a southwest direction there is a shaft on the vein ten feet deep, showing the vein to be twelve inches wide in the bottom, from which I dug average samples from which I secured from $9.7o o 40 in free milling ore. "Considering the shallownesn of the work done. I confidently expert this ledge to develop into n tine producer. vSignedl CAPTAIN A. M. PAUL, Mining Ewglnw. Salt Uke City, Utah. "Wish to call your attention to the fact that on the Kureka, Honest Dollar, Storm Kink and Oonc, I find true Assure veins. "The character of these veins vary in width from TI1RKK KKET to TWKNTRTHRKK FKHT as found in the bottom of the shaft on the Kureka ledge (See Note) 'Mineralogy', the pay quart is characterised by arsenopyrite, and also by pyrite in minute particles. "The ore contains sulphrets both in arsnopyrites uud pyrite lorm. "Gold predominates In the FOREST properties, and is of almost universal occurrence. The free milling gold tieing that part amenable to plate amalgamation and will vary from 40 per cent to tM) per cent per ton. "I find some gray copper, and considerable cuprite, or oxide. The copier which this ore carries is valuable; and with depth there io little doubt but these values will increase. In the many assays made the copper was found to run from 5 to 30 per cent.

S. EBERMAN, Mineralogist and Geologist. We will not bother you with theories, nor fanciful language to support our contention. Plain facts is what you want, and plain facts is what we will offer you, to induce you to become identified with us in the making of one of the finest properties eer offered to the public. Organise a club, then send an expert to examine the "STORM KING" MINES, he will easily satisfy you of the richness of our property. "Note" The increased dppth of the shaft mentioned in 1'rofessor Eberman's report was done in the interval between his ex amination and that of Captain Paul. It wa only done to prove conclusively the permanency of our ledges. All the ledges can be easily worked bv tunnels, thereby saving vast sums of money.

Adjoining claims now hi the same group wero located by Messrs. Simmons and Stleklaud. Hoforrlug to the work now under way, Mr. Sums says that tho new sinking pluut is in successful opera tion. Tho shaft Is going down on I ho foot wall. There was u small shaft started on what Is supposed to bo tho banging wall, 200 feet away, showing this width of vein. Home of tho oro taken from tho main shaft, Mr. Sams says, has run as high as elghty-flvo por cent coppor. 815 hi gold with some silver and lead. Was Discoverer of fhe Myers Group Now Being Operated by Indiana Company. I. 11. Sams, of Medical Springs, came up on the tralu this morning to iulerlew tho grocerymeu in the mat ter of shipping in a cnusigumeut of apples, potatoes, bacon and various other products of his ranch. Mr. Sams is a regular shipper to the Sunipter market, which he finds, he says, vastly better lu this respect tbau Iiaker City. He is an old set tler, having located at Medical Springs iu 1805, and intimately ao dualuted with the early history of eastern Oregon. Also, ho Is the (lis-' coreror of what is now known as tho ' Meyers group, operated by the Iu-' diaua company, uear his place, and his stepson, W. L. Myers, is the original locator of the property. Mr. Myeis is now superintendent iiml has charge of the work there. Mr. Sums I made the discovery when the propeity was included lu tho state school do main. Later, wheu it was throwu MAMMOTH MINE ATTACHED BY JOE REED FOR $ 1.200 It Is positively assorted in snug that "a policeman's lot Is not a happy one." Jesso Snow, with equal positiveuess, declares that it is a bed of softest down, compared to that of a deputy sheriff, iu tho Illue mouu taiu region during the winter. This statement was made yesterday after bis return from the Mammoth mine, two or throe miles of which trip he made over eight feot of soft snow ou snow shoes. The object of the trip was to levy on the miue under an attachment, issued out of tho circuit court iu favor of Joe Iteed. Ho holds the company's note for 81,200, for ser vlces as seorotary and somo money advanced. Tho peopln who own the control iu the Mammoth company, Massachusetts capitalists, have all kinds of money, iudlviduuly, aud it is presumed they arn merely tired put ting up for the minority stockhold ers. This is thought to be a move ment to clear up the financial atmosphere. FORCt INCREASED A1 STORM KING. T. J. Costollo, manager of the Storm King, placed sovoiul more men at work during tho past week, which additional force will be of vast help In getting the poperty iu good shape by spring. Tho Honest Dollar adit, says Mr. Cojtcllo, Is rapidly showing that it is only a matter of work to prove tho extiemo value of tho Eurkn ledge. Tho width is still about seven feet iu the (dear with stronger indications that the fault which has been such a bother has about run Its course. This Is a most encouraging sign, pro sagiug tho near approach to an mo body. The Storm King crosscut is rapidly approaching the ledge as Indicated by I the change in the formation, which is I becoming heavily oxidized. It Ih an I almost absolute certainty that high lvalues will be struck when tho cross .cut intersects the ledge. the management Is thinking se riously of putting a force at work ou thu Jessie aud (lolden Rule ledges iu tho uear future, which it is thought will undoubtedly open up a large vein, us proven by explorations ou the summit. PLATES Of ALAMO MILL SHOW GRATIFYING RESULTS. John R. C'asslu, of tho Allium miue, passed through Sumptcr ester day uu his way from the property to his home iu Spokane. He Muted 'while here that the mill, which has I beeu iu operation several weeks. Is 'running smoothly and satnlfiutorily. I The plates have beeu cleaned aud the results are altogether giatlfjiug. There has nutfynt been a general cleanup, nor has the value of tho concentrates been determined, further than by assays at the mill, but Mr. Casslu says that there Is now no fur ther doubt regarding the mill treat ing tho oro successfully. In fact, there never Iiiih beeu In the minds of tho mining men who are handling this proposition Intcllluently. Thla mill run merely demonstrates tho fact that they know their business. MORMON TEMPLE AT LA GRANDE. COST $40,000 O. R. Thornton, a Lu Oraudn man, has tho contract for the con struction of the Mormon taberuaele, which will be erected there this sum mer at a cost or 810,000. Tho building will lie of stone and red brick, the stone being secured from Union couutv iiairics. The building will be 71x110 feet. The assembly hall, Sunday school rooms and heat ing apparatus will be ou the lower floor, aud the main auditorium and gallery ou the upper floor, fihoitly after the completion of this Immense structure a pipe organ, which will cost several Ihoiu-and dollais, will bo installed. About fifty men are now employed ou the site of the taberuaele, cutting stone for the foundation, which will be laid as soon as the weather per mits. Lumber is continually being hauled to the ground. This is the second Mormon tnhir uncle outside of Utah, and Is locstcu about two blocks from the center ot the city It will be one of tho llnest structures lu eastern Oregon, Plans lor Its dedication are already being Hindu. Prominent otllcials of the church from Salt Lake City will be lu attendance.
