SUMPTER TELEPHONES
Management Promises Exten-
sive improvements.

G. B. Bush, assistant superintendent Of
the Inland Telephone company, with head.
quarters at Portland, was in Sumpter last
week looking after the interests OF his
company here. He says the business of
the line from Sumpter has been so
heavy during the past few months, grow.
ing every day, that It has been impossi.
bic to handle it, but he promises soon to
increase the facilities to such an extent
that an adequate service will be afforded all
patrons.
A night operator has already been put
on, In addition to the two day operators
and the telegraph operator. He says an
additional pair of wires will soon be
strung between here and Baker City. No
additional telegraph service will be fur.
nShed for the present.
As soon as the Basche block Is ready
for occupancy, the telephone Office will be
moved to the two front rooms, where
convenient conversation room and sound
proof booths will be provided.
AT present there are ninety.eight sub.
seribers to the Sumpter exchange, but a
solicitor will.be put to work at an early
day and the company hopes to run this up
to $50 bv March I.

Booming the White Swan In Iowa.

The Des Moines, Iowa, Mining News
for December Is devoted largely to the
White Swan mine, located the other side
Of Baker City. There are pages Of read.
ing matter about the property, yet the
whole truth Is not told. There are sew.
eral display advertisements, relative to
the sale Of stock and promised dividends
at an early day, from which an inference
can be drawn. There are illustrations,
not made from photographs, the sketches
for which were either made by one not
conversant with the situation, or else for
the pur ,ose to deceive. The White Swan
is not contiguous to the Bonanza, not by
forty or fifty miles. II Is generally be.
lieved that there Is rich ore In the White
Swan, but II Is In. "swell" ground, the
workings have caved In.
