PR0SSER EDITOR
SUED FOR LIBEL
SUIT COMMENCED BYE.F. BENSON
Article Published in Bulletin Told OF
Water Being Full of Dead
Fish and Eels.

z. l.. Boardman, publisher Of the
Prosser Bulletin, was served with
summons Friday by E. F. Benson,
president Of the Prosser Falls Land
& Power Company, suing him for
$4,000 libel. The last issue Of the
Bulletin criticized the domestic water
supply, saying among other things
that the water was full of dead fish
and unfit to drink. This is the par
ticular sentence complained of.
A portion Of the article to which
Mr.. Benson objected, was as follows:
"Granted that Mr.. Benson has OBJ
tanned a good water supply, is there
any assurance that he will get it into
his high reservor-or the hole In
the hillside going by that name-and
give the pressure that his franchise
calls for? This newspaper believes
not. 1t has taken Mr.. Benson since
a year ago last February to even
make showing as to better water
supply. How long will it take him,
operating as he usually operates, to
get the water into the reservoirs and
properly distribute 1t to the consul
mers and the city for fire purposes?
This Is an interesting question. He
has made no attempt to cement what
he calls his high reservoir and 1t is
the opinion of everyone that 1t will
come no nearer to holding water than
a straw hat. The lower reservoir is
still unprotected as far as a coping
or ems ,ukment is cor "erned, the
water is not screened, is full Of dead
fish and cells and not fit to drink"

L. L. Thorp and 4. L. Kinsey, who are
interested in the mine, left yesterday
morning for the camp.
An extra force of men was put to
work clearing away the ground and
looking into the extent of the ledge. If
it proves to be as long as is antici-
pated and as rich as the specimens in
dictate, the amount of gold to be taken
out will make all the stockholders
rich.
Mr. Taylor has been prospecting in
that vicinity for some time. Two years
ago two California pocket hunters
worked on that same hill, but they
worked on the north side instead of
the south side, where the mine was To-
Gated. What lead to its discovery was
the placer gold that was found at the
bottom of the gulch. Mr.. Taylor traced
it step by step until he came to the
rich treasure that nature had con-
cealed for ages. The spot where the
discovery was made was covered with
thick shrubbery, which added to the
difficulty Of locating.
The Swauk mine is proving to be a
very rich mine. 1t was originally To-
Gated by w. Thomas and w. II. Tay-
lor in about 1876. Since that time
there has been taken out not less than
100000 in placer gold alone. De-
very extensively and with each days
work the amount and quality of the
ore increases.
