Colonel Drake Figured Within Two Feet
Of the Location Of q Ledge.

Every mining man with theory does
not have the luck which has attended the
operations of Colonel r. V. Drake, in the
Sparta district. Based upon experience
and close study Of the geological con.
ditions, Colonel Drake evolved theory
that somewhere IN the Sparta district was
avein Of soft, decomposed quartz which
had fed the placer diggings Of Sparta
creek. Such ore did not outcrop at any
point, but he knew It must be In existence
and made his calculations accordingly.
Within two feet Of where he thought the
vein should be, he struck exactly the same
kind Of ore upon which he had figured.
1t Is on the property Of the Mazama
Mining and Milling company, of Portland,
of which Colonel Drake Is the manager.

"The vein Is a fine one, which did not

The outcropping In that district Is known

ALFALFA AND CLOVER FIELDS

There is no locality in the great Yak
ina valley that is making greater
showing in the way Of development and
receiving larger share of the vast throng
of immigrants seeking new homes than
Sunnyside and the country contiguous.
To those acquainted with the conditions
existing there and the obstacles many
have been Obliged to overcome, the pres
ent grand showing that section is making
is revelation. Last season was the be-
ginning of an era of advancement. The
five long wears previous TO 1899 were only
experimental ones, but no longer does
this exist. The farmers of that section
have passed the experimental stage and
are now demonstrating that they live in
a country not only wonderful in the fer
tility Ct its soil but grand in its prospects
TOR the future. Too much cannot be said
in honor of those who purchased lands
under the ditch when the great canal
was struggling for existence in the
panicy times, and who, with little money
and less experience proceeded to make
homes and plant orchards and alfalfa
fields in a new and untried country
away. Some remained, and to-day look
with pride and pleasure upon what they
have been able TO accomplish.
Two years ago quite number OF in
tiuential ana progressive people from H.
linois, Iowa and Nebraska visited the
Yakima valley after spending consider.
able time in looking through Texas. Ar
iona, California, Utah and Colorado,
and, finding the country about Sunny
side afforded more advantages in the
way of soil, climate and future possibil-
tiles than any visited, purchased lands,
erected homes and with their families
came west. Last year was their first ex-
perience in an irrigated country. The
showing they have made is marvellous.
About four hundred acres was put into
condition and seeded to grass. When it
came cutting time satisfactory yields
were reported. This season the alfalfa
will yield them three times the quantity
received last year, and so we'll pleased
are they that almost every man has pur-
chased additional acreage and is putting
the same in alfalfa or clover.
These people. a number of whom are
Dunkards, organized themselves into
what is known as the Christian Cooper
alive Colony OF Sunnyside, for the pur.
pose of inducing those OF good moral
standing, regardless of religious creed,
seeking homes in community where
the watchwords are "Ideal Homes.
Schools and Churches" to locate there
and promising TO such all the support,
encouragement and advice possible in
the attainment OF that purpose. The
colony has been most successful and
while it s impossible to give the exact
number who have come through their ef-
forts it Is safe to state that large per-
centage Of the new corners have been in
duced to settle about Sunnyside by the
showing made by the colony.

Among those who have outlived the hard

The magnificent showing in this great
valley has been made possible by the
Sunnyside canal. the water for which il
taken ont a few miles below Union Gap.
The canal is forty-five miles in lengt h
and has about 300 miles of laterals. The
water carried. 1t il claimed, will irrigate
1900 acres. About 10000 acres are all
that are now under cultivation under
this ditch. 40 it will be seen that the
water is ample for all requirements. To
Walter N. Granger, the manager. is due
much of the credit for the efficient ser
vice the patrons Of the canal have re-.
ceived, and while at times some vi those
controlling water rights have felt that
they were not receiving their full quota
of water, the management as whole
has given good satisfaction and every
wish of the farmer granted as far as it
was practicable and in accordance with
the best interests of all holders OF land
under the ditch.

Speaking of alfalfa, it might not come
amiss to mention one or two of the mag.
nificent fields where this splendid fodder
plant grows to perfection and where ir.
rigation has made it so because of the
scientific manner in which it is handled.
Adjoining the little town of Sunnyside
and Immediately under the big lateral
passing around the hill is the place OF
w. H. Cline. Mr.. Cline has IS acres in
alfalfa and in laying out his field has
spared neither time nor expense. The
system of irrgating has been so arranged
that one man can cover the entire field OF
alfalfa with water in ten days. The yield
has in the past been something wonder
ful. Last year from off 40 acres Mr..
Cline received 40 tons OF hay an aver
age of over ten tons per acre. j. II. CHS
holm has put in some new ground ad-
joining his model alfalfa farm. He now
has nearly 100 acres. His system of irri-
cation is perfect in every detail and is
worth studying by those who wish to
gain the best results His hay is gener-
ally fed out on the place. Last winter
l35 head OF cattle were quartered there.
The average gain in weight was 200
pounds per head.

Through Mr.. Lannin of Sunnyside a
number of eastern gentlemen have pur-
chased tracts with the intention OF devel-
oping them. Among them is the Rev.
stephen Hamerling of South Dakota,
who has bought twenty acres. Messrs.
Henry Shaw and Henry Waterman, also
OF South Dakota have invested in Sunny
side lands, the former purchasing 40
acres and the latter 20 acres. Peterson

tween Sunnyside and Outlook, which
will be taken by a colony, 100 acres hav.
ing already been sold and which is now
being improved.

1t is estimated that there will be 1000
acres in grass about Sunnyside this sea-
son. Much of it will be sown or has been
sown this spring and will probably yield
a fair crop of hay. Estimating an aver
age of four tons to the acre, including all
old and new land, there will be about
5000 tons OF hay produced about Sunny
side alone, which, in round numbers,
will net the people of that section $780,
900. THE HERALD man has endeavored
SO far as possible to get the names of
those putting in grass and has collected
the following, together with acreage:

agricultural implements, three fine
mules, worth from $3.50 to SITS each,
and good horse, were burned. The
total loss is estimated as being not
very far short Of $1,000.
Investigation Tuesday night and on
Wednesday morning, showed among
other things. some tracks leading to
and from the barn. The circumstances
were such as to throw suspicion on a
Negro named Will Wilson. Wilson had
been seen at the fire. He came when
the flames were at their fiercest and
appeared to be rather Indifferent to the
situation. Some of those who saw him
when he put in his appearance remem-
bered that his approach was not from
the direction indicated by the suspic-
ious tracks. He was arrested, and up
on comparison Of his feet with the
tracks, there appeared to be no doubt
that the tracks were his.
The Negro had a difficulty with Mr..
Mason McGill, son Of Mrs. McGill, on
Tuesday morning, and this circum-
stance furnishes a theoretical motive
for the burning Of the barn. Upon ex-
animation Wilson seemed disposed to
treat the whole matter rather contemp-
tuously. He did not answer questions
with much satisfaction and he was
committed to Jail.
The reporter is informed that the
people Of the neighborhood were con-
siderably stirred up over the matter.
All the developments in the case were
not generally known until Wilson was
safe in Jail. Otherwise 1t is likely that
there would have been hanging.
That is the way the talk is going; but
now that the Negro is in the hands Of
the law, it Is not probable that there
will be any attempt at violence.

count of frequent breakage, Mr.. NC
Claim has been placing no confidence IN

light has been fairly good and at 9TH

the contract price. The new dynamo is
one of the very best made. 1t Is the
kind that is being used by all the lead
ing f1rst-class lighting plants through

use was bought under representations
of this kind; but Mr.. McClain did not
know as much about such things then
