>"As part of settlement offer for the damages that the zinc operations
caused to public lands and wildlife, the Pennsylvania Game Commission
might receive 1,100 acres of unspoiled forest and fields in Monroe
County from CBS Broadcasting.

The commission's board scheduled a notational vote about the land called
King's Manor in Ross and Eldred townships for its meeting at 8:30 a.m.
on Tuesday in Harrisburg."

"Since 1990 signs have warned hikers on the Appalachian Trail that they
are passing through a Superfund site.

"Appalachian Trail through-hikers from Maine to Georgia are always
startled by that site and just how barren it is and how much man has
impacted there," Curt Ashenfelter, executive director of the Keystone
Trails Association, said."
------------------------------------------------------------------------

"The Game Commission would receive land that is primarily a forest of
maple, birch, oak and poplar trees. Hikers can see it from higher
elevations on the Appalachian Trail."

Hmmm....   Eldred Township...  sounds familiar.
