GOLD NINE AT ECHO
IS DOUBTED BY SOME

ECHO, Ore. June .L(Special) -
The more conservative element of the
population OF Echo is not unduly ex-
cited over the reported strike of gold
and silver in paying quantities on a
homestead about II miles west of
here A good many claims have been
staked, but so far as could be learned
here today. no one has seen the mine
from which specimens of ore were
taken where the rich strike is sup
posed to have been made
It is rumored that one OF the prin-
cipals in the present rush figured in
an episode of the same kind a few
years ago when on the strength of
samples taken he secured quite a sum
of money for development purposes,
The mine never showed any profit. An
experienced mining man has expressed
the belief that the samples shown here
have not been taken from the same
locality. He bases his opinion on the
dissimilarity of composition of the
Vsrions samples.
