' - '' We have iteclded to place upon the market 100,000 shares of the treasury stock lor the solo purpose of preparing the "STORM
KING" group in condition for a mill in the early spring. We will quote you extract from the reportn written by the best mining
authorities in Oregon, which will show conclusively the wonderful rirhuHgs of the STORM KING group of seven claims situated in the
Cable Cove Minion District of Eastern Oregon, operated by thf FOREST MINING COMPAKY of Sumytor, Oregon
"In makingmy report I will commence with the Eureka and Honest Dollar claims. The development on there consists of an
adit Ninety-seven feet'in length showing two feet and ten inches of ore in the top; and a little over three feet' wide in the bottom.
With assays ranging from f() tW to $70 per ton in gold. About four hundred feet in a southwent 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 averago samples from which I secured from
$9.70 to 40 in free milling ore.
"Considering the shallowness of the work done. I confidently expect this ledse to develop into a lino producer.
(Signed) CAPTAIN A. M. PAUL, Mining Engineer. Salt l-ako City, Utah.
"Wish to call your attention to the fact that on the Eureka, Honeet Dollar, Storm Kink and Or.ono, I find true llssure veins.
' "The character of these veins vary in width from THREE FEET to TWENTRTHREE FEET as found in the bottom of the
shaft on the Eureka ledge (See Note) 'Mineralogy', the pay quarts is characterised by arsenopyrite, anil also by pyrito iu minute
particles.
"The ore contains sulphrets both In arsnopyrltea and pyrlte torm.
"Gold predominates In the FOREST properties, and is of almost universal occurrence. The free milling gold being that part
amenable to plate amalgamation and will vary from 40 per cent to 00 per cent per ton. ,
"I find some gray copper, und considerable cuprite, or oxide. The copper 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 6 to :W per cent.

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 Me will offer you, to induce you to become identified with us in the making of one of the tlnest properties ever offered to
the public. Organize a club, then send an expert to examine the "STORM KING" MINES, he will easily satisfy you of this richness
of our property. ...... --
"Note" The increased depth of the Bhaft mentioned in ProfessorKhcrman's report was dono in the interval between his ex
amination and that of Captain Paul. It, was orlly d,one' to -prpvq Conclusively the permanency of our ledges.
All the ledges can be easily worked by tunnels, thereby saving vast Bums of money.

DEAD GAME
TENDERFOOT
Dr. Walters of Wisconsin Takes a
400-foot fad on Rapid Transit
Contrivances.
Went Out to Have The Storm King
Mine Experted And Is
Satisfied.
Tom Costello, general manager,
Dr. F. A. Walters, of Stevens Point,
Wisconsin, a large stockholder, and
W. J. Keough, came In Saturday
evening from the Storm King, a
property in the Cable Cove district
owned by the Forest Mining com
pany. Dr. Walters wanted a disinterested,
expert opinion on the merits of the
mine, knowing nothing of mining
himself, that be aud bis friends who
are investing their mouey In the eu
torprUe may know just what they are
going up against. After keeping his
eyes and ears open around town for a
few days, be deoided that Mr.
Keough would All the bill and was
fortunate In securing bis services;
fortunate because that gentleman is
not what is known as a professional
expert, looking for jobs of this kind.
He has mined practically all of bis
life; in Colurado until he came to
eastern Oregon u dozen or moro years
ago. lie xbb mine superintendent at
the Bonanza for three years; then
went to tho Red Boy iu the same ca
pacity and has boon with that com
pany ever since, until It closed down
a few months ago, more tbau nine
years in all.
Just what his report in detail Is,
The Miner does not know. Dr. Wal
ten says he Is satisfied that be Is
getting better than a good run for
bis money. Mr. Keough, who like
most men who mine gold from the
ground exclusively, has a horror of
newspapers exploiting what be con
siders the private business of a min
ing company, so be "gave down"
reluctantly to a Miner representative,
saying: ,
"I was engaged to make a report,
which I will do; not to furnish ma
terial for a newspaper story. AJI 1
can say to you is that the Storm King
Is the making of a mine. The work
ings are in ore, carrying bigb values.
The ledge Is a strong, well defined
true Assure vein. Of course, the
property Ib now In the development
stage, but the showing Is a good one
and I believe that it justifies extensive
development. Money and good judg
ment will make It a producer."
Tom Costello says Dr. Walters Is
as game a tenderfoot as he ever took
Into tue bills, covered with ten feet
of snow. He walked from the end of
the wugon road to the mine, a dis
tance of four miles, and roturu, on
webs, without making a klok or ex-1
pressing a regret that he was not In '
bis office back in Wisconsin. Com-,
lug home, they found a pair of skees
stioklng in the enow near the trail
above the California, and the Doc
tor's sporting blood was aroused at
once. Ho mounted the lunocout
looking, deoeptivo rapid transit con
trivanoes and shot dowu the moun
tain side 400 foot. In as many
seconds, and disappeared. Wfaon
found by Messrs. Keough aud Cos
tello, bis foet aloue were visible; the
remainder of his ample leugth was
jammed bead foremost Into a snow
bank. Ob, yes. he looked pleasant
and declared that he enjoyed the ex
perience, but knew when be had
enough of a good thing and didn't
cry for more.
GOVERNOR CHAMBERlAhN
HOPEFUL FOR CELILO CANAL
Governor Chamberlain expresses
himself as confident that the negotia
tions in progress for the acquisition
of a right of way for the Celllo canal
will result successfully.
"I do nut feel at liberty to go Into
details," be said this morning, "but
I am satisfied that we shall secure the
right of way. We have givou the
canal precedence over the portago
rnud, and our efforts are concentrated
upon the former. It takes time to
reaoh an agreement with the nrnnertv
owners, but I am quito sure that wo1
eball succeed In getting the right of i
way."
Misleading statements havo been .
published to tho effect that tho nego-!
tiatiuns have boon for a right of way
Xor the portage road and not for tho'
canai. xnis is not tliu case. If a
right of way is secured from tho
property owners it will be imme
diately available for the canal, and
there will be no legal obstacles to
the commencement of work. Journal.
