Start Mining on
Huge Gold Vein

Benton county's first gold mine is
about to become a reality, according
to T. II. Wilson, who is starting OPP
erations on what is known as will
sons Prospect" a few miles east Of
Prosser on the main highway. A
huge dump of reddish rock marks
the spot where the cash is being
made into the sidehill, preparatory
to locating the shaft for the mine
proper.
The vein has been located, Mr..
Wilson states, and soon the shaft
will be started. Just how deep the
hole will have to be will depend
upon the vein itself, Mr.. Wilson
states. He says that the metal in
dications where the vein Is located
show that the main mineral con-
tent is below, but whether twenty
or two hundred feet is purely q
matter Of conjecture at the moment.
The mine has been In operation
for several months, although it Is

working the prospect are certain Of
their reward when the main ore
body is located.
The formation is Of q peculiar

from So cents to $41.49 per ton. Mr..
Wilson says that ore running SO

ing In that location. As soon as the
main body Of ore is located, q con-
centrating mill will be erected and
the concentrates then shipped to
the smelter.
Mr.. Wilson says that the ore vein
has been traced through Benton
county, running q few miles south
of Kennewick as far east as Hover,
and that prospects are as good in
this end Of the county as at the
place where the mine has been be-
gun.

The unpleasant winter climate
of England is one reason why
Italy is dotted with English col
onies, English churches and Eng
lish tea rooms.
The English colonies in Rome
and Florence are we'll known to
tourists. Their populations are
comprised of SpinsterS, widows,
army officers and their families,
pensioned civil servants who have
served at home or in the colonies
and people who like comfort and
beauty. In Sicily there are Eng
lish colonies at Taormina and
Palermo.
It is strange but true that so
many who visit Italy fail to make
the trip across the Straits of Mes
sina to Sicily. a journey that can
be made, by sea train, comfort
able express steamers or by a
tri-weekly air service.
There is another air route
that links Rome, Syracuse, Malta
and Tripoli, while yet another
links Palermo and Tunis.
Since the dawn of history, Sicily
has been the coveted possession of
all those who desired to assert
their power in the Mediterranean.
Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Ro-
mans, Greeks, Arabs, Normans and
Spaniards have fought at various
times to possess Sicily.

An Independent Judiciary
By J. T. Williams. Jr.

A noisy minority in Congress ap-
parently labors under the delusion
that the American people are
ready to support the destruction
OF the independence of the Judi
c1ary and set up in it's place the
deSpotic power of Congress.
Proposals to this end have been
introduced in both Houses of Con-
gresS. They come for the most part
from Senators and Representa-
tives in Congress least qualified
for useful service on the Judiciary
Committee of either House.
Among those prominent in the
movement are several members OF
the discredited Black Committee,
seemingly still smarting under the
public rebuke they received for
their confiscation Of private tele-
grams and similar practices.
To the credit of the party in
power. however, it's responsible
leaders in the two houses have yet
to approve this sapping expedition
to undermine that branch of the
Federal Government which COM
mands a greater respect from the
people, regardless of the party in
power, than the Legislative or
Executive branches.
GREAT DEBATE
Neither the majority leader of
the Senate, Senator Robinson, of
Arkansas, nor the majority leader
of the House, Representative Ray
burn, of Texas, has publicly in
dorsed any of these proposals. And
to the credit of the able chairmen
of the Judiciary Committee of the
two houses-Senator Ashurst, Of
Arizona, and Congressman Sum-
ners, of TeXas-no one can attri-
butte the unworthy attacks on the
Judiciary to their instigation.
1t is largely from the publicity
seekers in both Houses that the at.
tackS on the independence of the
Judiciary are coming. And the
rush of proposals to this end
recently introduced may be only
a part of an advertising campaign
to speed up the sale of a new book
soon to be published in which the
present Supreme Court is main
target of attack.
Nothing could be better for the
cause of American Government
versus European Dictatorship in
any form than a great debate in
the two houses at the present Ses-
sion upon the wisdom of main
tanning that independence of the
Judiciary which is one of the dis
tinguishing features of the Ameri-
can system. There are able men
in both houses-small though
their number be who are
eminently qualified to do battle
in support of this cause against
the political sappers seeking to
