To DEVELOP 4487
ACRE TRACT
PACIFIC TIMBER CERTIFICATE
COMPANY OWNS BIG TRACT ON
MISSION UNIT SYS-
TEN TO BE EMPLOYED.

One of the largest development
propositions ever undertaken in the
state has been quietly started within
five miles of the city. Four thousand
four hundred and eighty-seven acres
of land, located on Mission creek, in
the neighborhood of Horse lake and
two and half miles south Of Monf-
tor, was purchased by Seattle COM
pany known as the Pacific Timber
Certificate company for purposes of
general development.
Contracts and Improvements.
The manager of the company is on
the ground now and has contracted
with c. E. Reeder for the blowing
|of 200 acres at once. Mr.. Reeder has
arrangements with the company for
other work besides the blowing, in
Guiding the building of some neces-
sary road. About $4,000 will be ex-
pended on road work in order to
give the tract an automobile ap-
proach that will, by itself, greatly
enhance the value of the land. There
are approximately 1900 acres of fine
orchard land in the tract besides
lot of land good for minor purposes.
This year 200 acres will be devel-
oped and the company will spend a
til ne IN hrr
will be set out to potatoes as soon
as the land is ready
Undeveloped Resources.
One of the finest and most valuable
large bodies of land in the state lies
within the tract that the company
has bought The timber on it alone
amounts to 21,OOO,OO0 feet, mostly
yellow pine. 1t is worth about s40,-
900 at a minimum estimate of So
per thousand. There are several
hundred acres Of first class apple
land that only needs a good road
and some capital. Then there is
lot of fine land for hay and vege-
tables. The balance is all valuable
and necessary for grazing purposes.
1t is the purpose of the company to
develop everything and to eventually
sell the entire tract in small divi-
sions, of from five to 40 acres, ac-
cording to the purposes that the land
is suited for.
Outside Money.
The unit system that has been
practiced in Seattle for some years
will be used in exploiting the pres
ent undertaking. The manager of
the company stated to the World
that the units would not be sold in
Wenatchee. Most of the money will
come from Seattle, although arrange
ments have been made to place some
of the units in Omaha This means
that instead of call being made
on Wenatchee money, the city and
tributary country is going to re-
ceive some more money from the
outside.
Directors.
The directors of the new concern
are Seattle men whose interest in
this section can be counted as an
asset. w. P. Ketcham is president;
Bert Farrar, vice president; w. I.
Ewart treasurer. II w Ewart seq
rotary; Hastings & Stedman, general
counsel; B. g. Cornell, general sales
manager; and. F. c. Riley, superin-
tendent of timber operations.

FAvORS EXTENDING
RURAL ROUTES
OF RETRENCH.
MENT POLICY TO RURAL
ROUTES SUBJECT OF BILL BE-
FORE HOUSE.
Washington. March 22 1910.

Wcnatchee Commercial Club, Wenat
chez, Wash.
Dear Sirs: I have your favor of
recent date enclosing resolutions in
favor of increasing the pay of rural
carriers. I am very glad you have
taken this action, thereby lending
your influence in support of this just
proposition I herewith enclose you
copy of the bill have introduced
in congress for that purpose and the
passage of which I will urge at every
opportunity. I am very much afraid,
however, that it will not be possible
to get it through the postoffice COM
mittee at this session of congress, but
undoubtedly the increase will be
made before great while. The
present pay of rural letter carriers
upon which they are expected to
maintain their equipment and sup
port their families is discreditable to
the government.
Referring to the preamble of your
resolution with reference to the value
of rural free delivery, I would call
your attention to the unfortunate
condition now existing in the post
office department, namely, the re-
fusal Of the postmaster general to
carry on the work of establishing
new rural routes and of extending
the system generally. This seems to
me to be a rather high-handed pro-
ceeding on the part of the admins
tration in view of the fact that there
is an appropriation available for that
purpose. If it is done on the plea OF
economy, retrenchment should begin
at some more appropriate place in
the postoffice system if, as stated by
Senator Aldrich, chairman of the fin
ance committee of the senate, on the
floor Of the senate, recently, from
one to three hundred millions of dol
lars more than was necessary for the
support Of the government has been
appropriated annually during his In
cumbency of that responsible posi-
ton surely means can be found for
continuing and extending rural free
delivery which more than anything
else has added to the convenience
and comfort of our country popula-
ton, especially in the new communi-
ties of the west.
With kindest regards,
Very truly yours,
MILES POINDEXTER
Following is the bill introduced by
Congressman Poindexter:
A bill to increase the pay Of United
States rural letter carriers.
"Be it enacted by the senate and
house of representatives of the Unit
ed States of America in congress as
sembled, That all rural letter car.
riers in the service of the postofice
department in the United States, on
and after the passage Of this act, be
paid each, as compensation for their
service in that capacity, $50 per
month for standard 24-mile routes,
with an increase of $3.50 per month
for each additional mile and reduc-
ton of like amount for every mile
below that standard, major fractions
of a mile to be treated as full mile.
Sec. 2. That all acts and parts
of acts inconsistent with this act are
hereby repealed"

ROYAL flush HAS A
GOOD ORE SHOWING

j. P. Williams has just purchased for
the Royal Flush group at Gold Noun
tain a 25-h. p. Western Gasoline hoist
ing engine, winch will be installed as
soon as it can be delivered at the prop
erty. New buildings have been erected
and arrangements being made to work
the property on a large scale.
The new working shaft that is being
put down is now at a depth of 80 feet,
and the whole bottom is IN $40 ore,
with no walls showing. Recently st the
30-foot level a vein was encountered
from which sinking operations gave a
shipment of 40 tons of $55 ore. The
property is looking fine, according to
MIR. Williams, and when the new hoist
is installed some good shipments of ore
will be taken out. The vein opened at
90 feet depth will be prospected before
further sinking is done.

SEVEN TRoUGHS, June 21.-The
erosscut, run in the Big Dipper tunnel
last week $50 feet from its portal, dis
closes an IL inch vein nestled against
the black dyke carrying fair gold val
ues. The Big Dipper tunnel, in the
Seven Troughs district, penetrates a
wide formation of quartz set in a mat
rix of tale, which pans gold freely. But
the cresscut run last week proves that
the vein is in place along the black
dyke the full length of the tunnel. 1t
is the intention of the company to
strip the vein an additional $50 feet
into the hill, before sinking on the ore
body.
Black dykes in the Seven Troughs
district frequently cut the formation
and accompany every true vein, rather
the richer gold values hug the sides of
these dykes. These dykes are a ba-
saltic rock and, as has been demonstrate
ed, the ore values accompanying them
reach to an unfathomable depth, while
usually increasing in depth and rich

The railway will be eight miles in
length, the maximum grade being
eight per cent. The tracks will not
reach either the Rattlesnake or Cour-
bet mines, owned by the company,
but aerial tramways will be built to
convey the ore to a central point for
loading. The R~attlesnake mir is
1000 feet higher than the mill, which
has an elevation of 1000 feet above
the sea, while the Courbet has an al
titude of $500 feet. The Courbet tram
will be two miles in length and the
Rattlesnake tram three-fourths of a
mile.
The Rattlesnake and Courbet mines

The mining business is at this cityis gates. Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico
