KENNEWICK, WASHINGTON, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1940. Belair Takes 5 0f 6 Touchdowns in Zillah Game Non - conference ga m e gives Lions 31—6 victory, play Prosser Friday in first conference game, The football game last Friday on the local field with Zillah, is one that Junior Belair will remember as long as he lives. For it was 3 “Be lair” game, he packing the ball over the line five. of the six times the Zil lah line was crossed. Final score was 31-6, the boys from Zillah punching over one while the second string was in learning to take the rough stuff. In the first quarter, the lads from up the valley took the ball on the 30-yard line. Held, then kicked down to Kennewick’s 40-yard stripe. Then a 15-yard penalty put the ball on Kennewick's fi-yard line. A kick took it out of danger, back up to the 40-yard stripe, where Zillah was forced to punt back to the Kenne-‘ wick 12-yarder Then Bob Smith smashed through for 20 ya'rds to the 38-yard stripe and on the next play Belair broke through a field for a 62-yard run-for the first score. A couple of plays later he intercepted a pass and wormed through for an other score from the 45-yard line. Then Coach Coates put in the sec ond string. _ This. gang couldn’t do much and Zillah ramped over for their count er.- after taking advantage of a couple ~of penalties on Kennewick. Then the first string went back in again and Kennewick began to make some first downs. The half ended 12-6 with the ball on the 45-yard line, where Zillah recovered a ser ious fumble. ~ __ In the third quarter the Lions started on down the field and came within a couple of yards of scoring 'when they were handed a fifteen yard penalty, but on the next play, Belair carried the ball over for his third touchdown. A couple or good plays in which Bob Smith seemed to be the spark, set the boys well on their way down the field for anoth er marker, 'but lost the ball on downs and Zillah's attempt took the ball back down to Kennewick's 10-yard stripe. Then a couple of plays netted the Lions 25 yards and the quarter ended with the ball in the middle of the field. ‘ _ Early in the fourth quarter Gar ber got away for a score only to be called back by a penalty only to lose the ball on a short punt. Zil lah was getting tired and after sev eral ineffective attempts, _ Smith heaved a pass to Belair who went over again for another score. Then .the second string was sent in, with Smith as quarter. After a’ fumble on the part of Zillah, the Lion Cubs got snapth and began to cross the stripes like the big boys. They made their yardage three times and then Bob Smith carried it over from the ten-yard line. This time they con verted and got the extra point. Kennewick had the better team, as was to have been expected, but the boys from up the Valley made more first downs than the Lions. The Lions will go to Prosser to morrow for their first conference game.

We felt sure that sooner or later we'd get around to that announce ment. but we never believed it would really come true. However. this an nouncement has all the earmarks or being authentic. At any rate a lease has been sign ed on a royalty basis, with actual work to be under way inside of three months. The land under consider ation is a 26-acre plot on the river bank due north of Finley owned by E. Donelson. Mr. Donelson’s story is that Or ville Douglas, a mining man. has been in the vicinity {or the past two years of! and on. After mak ing repeated tests he discovered that the Donelson farm contained placer gold and platinum in such vast quantities that he was unable to finance the proposition. Mr. Douglas then interested a group of men in San Francisco in the proposition. The group. which owns several huge placer mining dredges. already had one such machine enroute to the upper reaches of the Snake river. where they owned a couple of claims. The big boat is expected within a week. to pass through the Celilo canal be fore the_ canal is closed for several months for enlargement. The barge will be diverted to the Donelson ranch. where it is estimat ed three million cubic yards or gold bearing gravel can be processed. The dredge can handle 8000 cubic yards per day. The company has also leased Goat Island in the Col umbia. just below the Donelson ranch as well as a couple more down near Paterson. They have 10 claims in all in this vicinity under con ltract. Representatives of the company stated that actual work would be undertaken by the ..g barge inside of thirty days. The equipment will probably be operated on a as-um schedule and will require about 40 men to operate it. The assays are unusually rich. n:- Donelson stated to a Courier- Beporter representative today. and he expects the operations on his ranch alone to produce in the neigh borhood of five million dollars in gold. He also stated that platinum in unusually large quantities has been shown in the assays and he thinks the platinum will also bring riches to the operators.
