A.Frick Carpenter and Contractor Pendleton - - Phone 231J Specializes In Metal Weather Stripping The Dalles. Prospecting opera tions extending over nearly a year have revealed that a Quanitity of ex tremely rich ore underlies The Dalles Country club property, and mining operations now will be started for its extraction, it was announced by Lester S. Harrison of Kellogg, Idaho, who has a lease on the mineral rights of the club. " The ore has been found to as&ay more than $1000 to the ton, a figure declared almost unprecedented in western mining. It contains silver, frold, antimony, copper and lead, with the first named in th' largest, propor tion, Harrison announced. Elt'tii ai prospecting and diamond drilling have proved that a sufficient quantity of this ore exists to justify sinking a shaft 300 feet into the ground n the club property, but the extent of the mineral deposit otherwise has r.ot been determined. The ore was first discovered whpn the Country club drilled a well on its property for water to irrigate its fairways. Drillers sent some of the mineral to an assaver, and later re vealed thii result of this test to Har rison, who is a mining attorney at Kellogg. ; He obtained a lease on the mineral rights of the club on a 10 per cent royalty basis last year, and since then has been engaged in prospecting. Idaho mining men already have pledged sufficient capital to carry the project to completion, and no stork sale will be held in The Dalles, Har rison emphasized. It is expected that sinking of the shaft will start in the near future, Bnd that actual ore sh'p ments will be ready, this fall.

The platform remains parallel with the ground reeardless of the angle at which it is working. It picks up down and tangled grain readily. The platform canvas and feeder convey the cut grain to the threshing cylinder where 90 per cent of the separation takes place at once. The threshing mechanism is kept level by power from the engine and the sieves of the shoe and recleaner are automatically leveled. Here is the combine for hills and rough ground. Here is the machine that increases grain-growing profits by cutting harvest costs, by doing better work, and by threshing cleaner than the old wasteful methods.
