The Sumpter miner. [volume] (Sumpter, Or.) 1899-1905, 1904-11-09

The Chamber of Commerce Bulletin
is q handsomely printed publication,
the official organ of the Portland
cham ber of commerce. Its purpose
is to advertise the resources OF the
state aud the attractions Of Portland.
It needs an editor with blue pencil I
about the size OF a pick handle. In
the November issue one, j. II. Fisk,
airs his views on mining, and adver- :
tises himself, which article Is illus
trated with the picture OF the author.
This man Fisk has been connected
with one or two of the most notori-
ously rotten mining fakes which has
disgraced the Northwest. Of course.
in this article he insinuates that
he has monopoly OF all the honesty
In the business. lie publishes
several letters claimed to have been
recei we'd from eastern investors, re.
hecting discredit. by Implication,
on several eastern Oregon com
psnies, by name. Here are two
extracts from the article:
portland cotains more men who
are directly or indirectly interested
In mining than all the rest OF the
states; has also more capital in
vetsed In mines than all the rest OF
the states put together aud receives
the least In return for It; and II i;
quite natural that they should feel
al interest In this matter and should
not be called "hogs" because they
do not live at the mines. as the work
Ing miners do"
81 can sell more mining stock
than any other man, but l will not
engage In II until l think the mine
eau 10 made n paying aud profitable
one."
Now, anyone at all posted ou
these statements knows how absurdly
false they are aud there Is no need OF
going into detail refutstion.
The Portland chamber of com
merce ought not to send out such
stuff.
