Making Big Mine in Green
horn District. .
PUT UP MILL NEXT SEASON
Have Three Parallel Veins
With Bodies of High-Crade
Ore Two Rich Cross-Veins.
Almost on the very crest of the Green
horn mountains, where several moan-
tain streams form the headwater! of
Boulder creek, a syndicate of Heppner
citizens have quietly developed a group
of claims until today only the installa
tion of a mill is needed to repay them
for their confidence in the Sumpter
district. . .
As a rule, but few of the resident of
the state, with the exception of those
residing in mining districts, are inter
ested in mining enterprises, and most of
the rich properties are controlled by
outside capital ; therefore the success of
this syndicate from a section devoted
exclusively to agriculture and sheep-
raising is a noteworthy feature.
The group, which comprises fifteen
claims, known as the Heppner mines, is
owned and operated by the Heppner
Mining Company (D. B Stalter, presi
dent and general manager), and has
over 1,000 feet of tunnels, shaft and
surface workings.
Most of the work has been done on
the Illinois, Pride of Heppner and May
flower veins, which parallel, and suffi
cient work on two cross veins, the Elis
abeth and Heppner, to determine their
width and values at slight depth.
On the Illinois a drift has been run
400 feet, giving close onto 200 feet denth,
showing in its face six feet of high-grade
milling ore, some of which ha run a
high as $24 1 per ton This vein was
developed further up the mountain with
a shaft of sixty feet, the bottom of
which has a streak assaying as high as
$3(i5 per ton, while to body of milling
ore runs from $10 to $27 per ton. To
reac beneath the shaft the drift will be
extended 300 fert, giving a depth of
between 300 and 400 feet, and it ia in
tended to install a 5-stamp mill next
season to treat this body of milling ore
to meet operating expenses. -
On the Mayflower the upper tunnel
was driven fifty feet oh the vein, open
ing up four feet of fine milling ore,
which has been proven at a depth oi
over 100 feet by drift of 300 feet started
further down the mountain side In
the present face there is a small streak
.running high as $100 per ton.
On the third of the parallel veins, the
tVide of Heppner, a series of open cuts
proved it thirty feet in width, and a
drift has been run fifty feet. This vein
has been determined, and tunnel started
near the lower one will give a depth of
over 1,000 feet. Though not extensive
ly developed the management considers
it one of the best vein in the group,
and already ha six tons of the ore
sacked for future shipment.
The first cross-vein uncovered was the
Eliiabeth, surface work on which shows
width of 25 feet, with very good val
ues. Un tne other, the Heppner, a 60-
foot drift ha been run, showing two
feet of hiitb-grade ore.
The properties are oquipped with
commodious buildings, cars, track and
blacksmith shop, and development will
be continued under supervision ot Mr.
Stalter, who stated during his visit here
while the teat was being made on the
ore brought in, that tne company
would certainly install a mill this) com
ing seasoa. Sumpter American.

Soma Seasonable Advice
It may be a piece of superfluous advice
to urge people at this Beaton of the year
to lay in a snpplv ol Chamberlain'
cough remedy. It is almost sure to be
needed before winter is over, and much
more prompt and aatLfactory results are
obtained when taken as soon a a cold I
contracted and before it ha become set
tled in the system, which can only be
done by keeping the remedy at hand.
This remedy is so widely known and so
altogether good that no one should hesi
tate about buying it in preference to any
other. It I for sale by Slocum Drug Co.
