Mining Promoters Are Doing
Well the Great Work.

The mining promoters who are hand
ling eastern Oregon properties are ad
vertising this country intelligently, hon'
estly and extensively. The two loca
firms that are doing the most in thi,
direction are Neil j. Sorensen Il Co. and
killen, Warner 4 Stewart. They are
sending out thousands of pieces Of liter
allure every week, telling Of the marvel
ous mineral resources Of the gold field,
OF eastern Oregon.

ties in the eastern part Of Oregon, is
enthusiastic over the future Of that ter
ritory. In an interview since his return,
he said:
"rhe mineral resources of that part of
the state, | believe, surpass those Of any
similar district on the continent. Until
recently they do not appear To have been
appreciated. In almost any other dis
trict in the world they would have
caused u rush and boom nothing less
than sensational. Aud II would be
largely justified. Here In eastern Ore.
gon are thousands Of square miles Of
gold ore bodies. Long ago it was dem-
onstrated from the millions yielded from
placer workings that gold in quartz must
exist, even rs it WAS shown to exist in
California, Idaho and Cripple Creek
after the rush OF placer mining had
passed over. Geologists eminent in
their profession have, after exhaustive
survey and search, unqualitiedly pro-
claimed the ore riches Of eastern Oregon
as among the greatest on earth.
"The practical guarantee, however, Of
any district il neither climate, soil nor
geology it is real gold and real mines
producing it; and, in that one infallible
test and guide, half dozen sections in
eastern Oregon are absolutely peerless
in-their gold output, according to the
amount Of deyelopwsatsaone and money
spent. = : -

miles northeast OF Baker City, clear to
the golden gulches OF Canyon City, is
one vast mineral bed. Between Baker
City and Snake river lies free gold zone

the Powder River mountains, in Union
county, is the Cornucopia district, with
a mineral belt miles in breadth and
