For. the Benefit Of the Land" Is

A number of the owners Of land on
the highlands on the east side Of the
Columbia river at Priest Rapids have
formed corporation under the laws
Of the state of Washington and have
called 1t the Priest Rapids Land Own
ers' association. Everitt s. Dam. who
IS well known to Yakima people. is
the president. The object Of this cor
poration is briefly stated in the slogan
that has been adopted and which ap-
pears On the stationery of the associa-
ton IN red letter, For the Benefit OF
the Land" The association issues an
occasicasi bulletin and in its last had
the following. among other things.
There ere approximately 100000
acres a hnd on this plateau and the
greater portion Of this land IL Of the
highest quality. There exists in this
looahs~ every condition that Is re-
quireA to mike fruit raising q big
suocsas-the soil of pure volcanic ash
with sufficient iron and other ingredi-
entS to make It perfect for the culture
Of fruit; the climate Is ideal; the land
Is just rolling enough for good drain
age and to irrigate nicely; the high
altitude Is a great advantage in MAX
Ing the land free from frosts.
A Most Favored Section
To sum up, this is the most favored
section of the now celebrated fruit
district Of eastern Washington. and
nowhere in the west can you find s,ssi.
q large body of splendid land lying ~
close to such q magnificent body Of
water as the mighty Columbia, which
will be navigable to the Pacific ocean
upon the completion of the govern
ment locks at Cello Falls within the
next year or so.
This body of land has lain dormant
for all these years while JuSt to the
west and to the north of this district
have developed two of the greatest
valleys in the world, the Yakima and
Wenatchee valleys. The land in these
two famous valleys is Of no better
quality than the land of the highlands,
in fact, most of 1t is not as good. but
Of course they had the two essential
things that are required to turn the
desert into productive soil, viz: trans
portation and irrigation.
What the Government Thought
At the time that the federal gov
eminent took up the reclamation
work, when twenty millions Of dollars
were appropriated by congress to
further irrigation. and their consult
ing engineers were sent out In the
northwest to make choice Of pro-
tect, this body of land on the high
lands was seriously considered, In fact
there was something over seven thou
sand dollars spent by the government
in making a preliminary survey, but
the Teton project at Yakima was
chosen, and why? Simply for the
reason that the people in the Yakima
valley all got together and through
their clubs and organizations brought
oil possible pressure to bear upon the
senators and representatives at Wash
ington and consequently the secretary
Of the interior decided in their favor.

BEST STRIKE EVER
 MADE IN DISTRICT

That the strike recently made by George P. Harrington, on the Nel- son mines, at Crown King, is the most wonderful determination ever accomplished in the Bradshaw mountains, was the emphatic state ment made yesterday by Lester Jackson, we'll known in mining cir cles of the county.
 MT Jackson states that he in- spected the point in the tunnel where the discovery of four-foot orc body was exposed, and that the mineral character was identical to that Of the bonanza ores of the old Crown King mine. Gold was the predominating metal. and the bi- product carried silver, lead, zinc and copper
 The strike occurred at a point about 700 feet from the mouth of the tunnel and there is no doubt but what the ore body is a perma- nent one. The vein at the beginning of the tunnel is a stringer one. but as depth has been reached and pro- gross made in driving it ahead, the results have been satisfactory, as well as conclusive for the making of magnificent property.
 The tunnel is projected for a dis tance of 2.0O0 feet. which will give a depth of about GOO feet from the apex of the range, and with back ing tha, will only add io the st- traetiveness of the proposition in future years. Mir. Harrington is ac- knowledged 10 be as we'll informed on the mineralogieal possibilities of that zone of the Bradshaws as any man who ever operated in that field, and his foresight is exemplifed in what he has demonstrated in bring. ing the Nelson. a new undertaking, into rating that will add 10 the prominence of that country in the future.

 Aside from the remuneration from this old tailings dump. which Mir. Murphy will receive. the successful handling of the yield has awakened more interest in the future of that held than has ever before been known. Other operators arc elated and there has been revived through ont the Bradshaws a decidedly opti- mistic outlook of what is practically assured in the mining and milling ef the thousands of tons of orc sx- posed in scores of old properties.

PHELPS-DODGE GET
 SPRECKLES ROAD

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. Is.- Among local railroad and banking circles it is stated on the best of authority that the deal of the Phelps-Dodge corporation for the Spreckles road. already partially completed from San Diego eastward toward Yuma, has been consummat. ed.
 1t is known that about two months ago several officials high in Phelps Dodge circles visited San Diego. They made trip over that portion of the San Diego & California line which has been completed and spent days in conference with representa- tives of the Sprecklcs interest
 Among the Phelps-Dodgc people were some officials of the Fl Paso X Southwestern railroad. They sc- cured all conceivable data upon the cost of completing the s. D. & A.. and of the business that it migh, do.
 Since then negotiations have been progressing steadily. and it is under stood that they have reached a successful termination.
 If the deal really has gone through it means that the Spreckles road will at once be compelled 10 Yuma and that the Fl Paso & Southwest ern will be extended to the city by the Colorado. This will practically give the country another transconti- mental road for the Phelps-Dodge corporation already controls the Rock Island system.

FORTUNE LIES IN
 OLD TAILINGS DUMP
Process is Found for the Treating Of Refractory Ores in the Brad-
 shaw Mountains.
(Fom Friday's Daily.)

From sources that arc reliable
 and competent to judge. it was
 learned yesterday that the treating
 of the tailings dump of the old
 Grown King mine, is proving sue
 eessful by the improved methods
 recently introduced in concentration.
 a specially designed plan, being con
 structed. This yield aggregates about 2S,UO tons, and is the product of several years run of the old mill that treated the Grown King ores.
 The dump as we'll as the mine was acquired some months ago by r. NJ. Murphy, and through his cf- forts the installing of the new pro. cess is due. Various estimates of the gold vahies contained in the tailings bed. range frou $400 io "a high as $l2m per lon, from which cnu be inferred the dcsirabi'hy of that min ersi cendit,on. which ;ias lain idle for over twenty .cats. for want of proper fssii''ies ,o handle. The process installed produces by the separation of the various rebellious metals. three distinct grades of yield. the lead concentrate, the iron and conner concentrate a,d ,i. zinc concentrate, all carrying gold values. The separating of the zinc from the lead, and the copper and iron sulphurets from the zinc, is in short the solution of this interest ing mincralogical problem. which for years has baffled the skill of metal lurgists in successfully handling Bradshaw mountain ores.

IL ranks sixth in the production of sil- yer and seventh in the production of gold. These three metals com s,iiute 9S per cent of the total pro- duction of the State. which amount ed to $43,483,9l2 in 1910 and $44.- l04,73l ir 1911. The value of the copper product alone represents SC per cent of the total output.
