"Utiuslderlug the husiiieH imic
peetH (111111 the viewpoint of one who
Iiiih npeiit much time heie, mid should
know Hiimcthlng of (rude coudltioiiH,
I Inive no hesitancy in saying Unit
it Ih Hiy linn helief Unit business
will he viiHtly lietler thin than last,
though I have no kick coming for
last year. Of course 1 will admit
that we tire now having a dull time,
hut not worse than wo alwujs ex
perience during the spring tueiik up,
when the roads are iilmoHt impassa
hie. 1 know lntH of people who have
planned trip to Sunipter to Ih)' iu
their spring goods, hut they cuuuot
get heie now ou account of the roads.
A hou t May 1, business will begin to
levlve and hy June or July we will
again nee prosperous times, nnd if I
am not very much mistaken they will
ho the most prosperous Sumpter hna
enjoyed in a long while.
"1 base my conclusions ou these
fnclH: The 10. and K. will he i'i lull
lil tint again this summer, employing
perhaps a hundred men; the K. mid
K. sawmilling and logging operations
jiiHt nutsldo of town will take close
ou to Hlxty or seventy: the smolter
will doubtless start, up with a full
crew; the Cracker Orcgoun Ih to re
sumo In the near future, and the same
may ho said of the California; nor
should tho llourne railroad ho over
looked, and there are scores of
smaller mining properties preparing
to operate, hesldos the old stand hys
employing their usual complement of
men. In the nature ot conditions,
these things are hound to hriug pros
perous times. Wo will have the
name pay roll ve bad last summer,
besides tho additions I have men
tinned." WILL INSTALL SAW

into a contract with the K. and 10. a
day or ho ago to take charge of tho

town, left today to transfer the ma

Mr. liiibertsnn will wet things iu

possible. The mill Ih to he put Iu

the Wade holdings iu the company

prospects of this old mid well known
piopeity me exceedingly bright.

PROGRESS AT
VALEY QUEEN.
Thinks No. 3 Vein The
Same as Shown in Tun
nel No. I.
Tom C. Cray, superintendent of
the Valley Qiieeu, and Colonel E. S.
Topping, who has been .1oing some
engineering work there for the past
few weeks, came Id from the property
thin afternoon.
The Colouel thinks there Is little
doulit hut that No. 'A vein, on which
work was recently started, is the
same that appears iu tttuuel No 1.
lie says the oro is practically the
same, with the oxecptlou that it car
ries hetter mints iu the lewer wck
iugs. These are extremely satisfac
tory. Ouo dilfcretico between this
vein mid tho others is that the hang
ing wall Is syenite instead of gran
ite, which is regarded iih ii good indi
cation. The drift Ih now iu twelve
ieet mid the ledge shows a width of
ahuiit three. Work is also being
prosecuted ou tho other drifts.
PROBABLY LOOKING

bridge, well known mining men of

as to what property it Is. or what
their ultimate intentions are.
Hitherto they have shown a decided
inclination to become interested iu

The Hrui owns the Crane Flat
placets, which are to bo operated this
