Klllen, Esq., Sumpter, Ore.: Dear Sir: Answering your recent request to tell you what I know about the Greenhorn Mine, permit me to say thrit I have known It since 1805, and have been familiar with its history since then, as I have resided In the district since that time. In 1800 I saw 80 pounds of amalgam, worth from $14 to $18 per ounce, or a total of about $16,000, taken from the surface washings of the Greenhorn, which was known as the Greenhorn Sklm merhorn claim, owing to the richness of the surface deposits. This was the richest surface showing of any claim In the entire district I saw not loss than 70 feet of good ore in the shaft, that assays from $50 to $150 per ton, and I have been through the drift from the bottom of the shaft 00 feet, and I found it highly mineralized. I am, perhaps, the oldest prospector In the Greenhorn District, being here since 18(5. I located the Snow Creek, which was just sold for $75,000; the Diadem and the Alamo, both of which are valued In the hundreds of thou sands, and I can unhesitatingly and unreservedly say that in my Judgment the Green born Is more promising than any of these were at the same stage of development. Yours truly, II. L. FARMER. B INSTALLMENT PLAW.TIIIS STOCK CAlf BBS BOUGHT Olf TH The purchase of stock In this mine Is not a speculation, but a bona fide, safe and conservative investment.

Its drift and proposed shaft. , It could be. used as a base upon which to estimate the amount and value of ore in sight in the vein. With dr'.fts run on the vein and then upra'slng, the value of the ore in sight would run into the hundreds of thousand dollars value rapidly. . A drift on vein at bottom of 100 feet with an uprasj of 135 feet In a 13-foot vein would grlve 1S2.009 cubic feet of ore. Thli c'lvlded by 13, the number of cubio feet of this ore per ton, equals 12,461 tons; at but 11$ per ton would give a, value of 1186,915. When we realize that the vdn ex tendi! for 1,500 feet on our land, and that instead of sinking but 135 feet we could as well sink 2,000 feet, and that values increaae with depth, the possi bilities of our mine become apparent.
