q Collection of Short Newsy Items From Among the Mines of Arizona.

From Among the Mines of Arizona.
 Mohave Miner: The four stamp Nissen mill of the Dixie Queen Min ing company is ready to go into commission. The company has been working force of men on the plant the past six months and have completed one of the most up to date milling plants in the coun- ty. At the mine there is large tonnage of ore blocked out and the values are high. Nj. A. Moore, who has been in charge of the property the past two years, is practical mining man and has succeeded in opening the property up in fine shape. An abundant supply of water has also been developed and when the mill is started it is safe to say that it will have prosper ous run.
 Parker Post: James U. Nisbet, one of the owners of the Silent King. located near Alamo Springs, on which property rumors of rich gold strike have been coming fast and furious for the past couple of weeks, was in Parker Wednes- day. That the strike is a most meritorious one was confirmed by Mir. Nisbet. Since our Inst report on this property, appearing in The Post about a-mOnth ago, the shaft has been sunk from the 40-fo point. to a depth of 70 feet. At that time he entire shaft was averaging about $80 per ton, with a pay streak running up to $250O per ton. Since this report, the shaft has been. sunk an additional 30 feet. the ore averaging better than $l00 per ton for intervening dis tance from the 40.foot point. A whim was recently installed, but a gasoline hoist is to be added to the equipment in a short time. From all reports the strike is the most important that has been made in this county for years. The prop erty is located five miles from the North Star mine, and has every indication of equalling, if not sur passing, that famous mines magni-

DIR. COuche i'm City.

DR.. Couche, of Twisp, is in the
city renewing old acquaintance for
a few days. He states that there
was only one death in the Methow
valley last year and that there were
none at all in 1907
He serves a larger territory than
doctors are usually called upon to
handle, but in spite of that he looks
for his income from real estate in
vestments and from his drug store.
The local interest in the Methow
valley is so lively at the present
time that the doctor is an interest
ing visitor in the city and his ai-
dress at the Commercial club last
night was listened to with marked
attention. He is particularly pleased
with the Wenatchee Daily World and
states that it's service in the upper
country is greatly appreciated. The
Seattle and Spokane papers cater to
wider interests, but in the issues of
the World there is always some news
that is pertinent to the interests of
the Methow.

tier, formerly employed at Leaven-
worth, alleges that defective coup
ling led to his permanent injuries.

connection could be made, the engine
lurched forward, catching his arm.

brand new pair of steps today.
The new steps will not encroach up

every two years, and so will not

information indicates that the Wal

will make the northwest and may

possible that the two Bills or that of

luncheon to be served by one of the
ladies church organizations The OBJ
ject of the luncheon Is to get the
business men together for mutual
benefit. This feature of club work
has been very successfully tried out
in most of the larger clubs of the
northwest and was found to be pro-
life of good in matters pertaining
to the city growth and city develop
ment that can be threshed out at
these meetings, and President King
is very enthusiastic over this new
feature. 1t will be given a trial this
spring and continued as it is proven
successful. The lunch will be served

in rotation and there will be a light
charge for the luncheon.
Talked Apple Show Plans.
Rem Rice, secretary and manager
of the Spokane National Apple show,
was present and submitted his plan
for the taking of the prize winning
exhibits of the coming apple show
to Chicago. Mr.. Rice stated that he
and two other members of the board
of directors had gone east and out
lined their plans to the presidents
OF the railroad companies for MAX
ing Chicago exhibit. The plan was
very cordially received by the rail-
road men and proffers of assistance
have come from each of them. The
plan is that Immediately following
the National Apple show the winning
exhibits shall be displayed in the Chi
cago Coliseum This is one of the
large buildings of Chicago, having a
floor space about double that of the
large armory of Seattle. The ex-
hibits will be arranged in the CEN
ter and around three sides Of this
building will be the district exhibits.
District exhibits will not be given a
space to exceed 12x30. The promot-
ers of the Chicago exhibit estimate
that it will cost about $50, About
$4,000 of this, including transpor-
tation, can be secured from the rail-
roads. About $4,000 can be taken
in admissions, leaving about $4,000
to $4,000 to be secured from other
sources. The plan is to have each
district represented at the district
displays to pay for the space. The
charges for these as outlined are
$3.50 for a space 12x15; $500 for a
suace 12x20 and $3.50 for a space
12x30.
The board of directors in confer
ence with Mr.. Rice last night, de-
cided to take a space 12x30, and this
action was ratified by the general
meeting last night. Mr.. Rice stated
that there has been general de-
mand all over the country that the
apple show should be taken east.
On account of it's value to the grow
ers themselves 1t has been felt that
it would be a mistake to take it.east,
but from an advertising point it
should 20 east, consequently the pro-
motors decided ON the second show
being taken east for the advertising
value and it is believed that the
whole west will profit greatly there
by.

LAKE HAS ROMAN
TIC HISTORY
INDIANS EARLY DISCOVERED
THE CURATIVE PROPERTIES
OF THE WATER CREDITED
TO GREAT SPIRIT.

Soap Lake, Wash, March 15.-
Soap Lake has romantic history.
This remarkable body of water is To-
Gated in Central Washington about
80 miles east of the Cascades, on the
main line of the Great Northern rail-
road and in the geographical center
of Grant county. 1t is almost three
miles long and one mile wide, and
occupies a bed once the crater of an
active volcano.
The depth of the lake yet remains
unfathOmed. 1t is fed by numerous
springs which constantly bubble forth
through the surrounding basin of
rocks. These picturesque rocks ris-
ing high on either side of the lake
are noticeably of volcanic formation,
and as the water bubbles through
them nature has arranged that it
shall carry with it the chemicals
which render it one of the most won
derful curative bodies of water in
tho world.
The legendary history of Soap
Lake is as romantic as it's later his
tory is interesting. Besides being
called Soap Lake it is known by
many as "Siloam Lake, - ''the Sloan
of the World 'sthe New Pool of Sill
oam," and 1.-The Pool of Perpetual
Youth"
The lake water was as celebrated
among the Indians for its curative
properties as now with civilized man.
The savages from far and near trav-
eled their beaten trails to it, believ-
ing the Great Spirit had breathed
healing power into the lake waters.
Later this beautiful tradition became
quite the realized truth to the early
settlers and trappers who dwelt
about this marvellous lake in peace
and harmony with their Indian
neighbors.
exceedingly BeautlIui.
But now that the white man
holds forth large sanitarium,
hotels and baths have recently
been erected about the lake for the
accommodation of visitors and inva-
lids who go there seeking health.
The water was analysed by chemists
and found to contain both volatile
and non-volatile solids in large pro-
portions.
The sulphates, carponates, chlor-
ides, gases, etc., are in such proper
lions as to render the water, al
though not palatable, an exceedingly
healthful drink, and for bathing pur-
poses and for the healing of sores
unexcelled.
