Pets the soft and raven tresses
Pom her eyes his kisses pressing,
In her ears the secret whispering
OF his love, his soul outpouring.
From above the stars are peeping,
Winking, twinkling their approval
And the trees around are rustling
With thrill of pleasure shaken.
Sad or joyful, always hunted,
Was the fiddle by the spirit
OF the pretty dark-eyed maiden;
Every sound her image waking.
When he killed her, rumor whispered
He has caught her soul departing,
And with sorcery imprisoned
In his famous Stradivarius.
One can see from the few titles of his
lyric poems referred to above and from
the translated poem, "Paganini' tina,
his lyric poems are also legendary in
their nature. 1t is again the dead, the
wandering or imprisoned souls, the how
ering spirits, etc.
Even when Jehoash turns his back
upon the past and takes a firm hold OF
the present and wooes his beloved in
forty-fve sonnets, he remains the same
balladist Here is one:
| have sold my soul to her
Since I've known her l became
Jealous worshipper of idols.
Every morning, every evening
Do kneel in humble homage
To the Sun and radiant planets
Which the cold world calls her eyes.
Daily burnt-offerings bring l
'Pon the idolatrous Altar
And rejoice devouty, seeing
All my best go up in flames
But the mind all analytic
Mocks and scorns my religion,
Keeps shouting protestatons
Your new faith is mere deception"
Jehoash is moved primarily by the
past and secondariy by love. The pres
ent and future have no attraction for
him. The questions of the day concern
him but little. Unlike the other Yiddish
poets who represent the sorrows of the
bounded Jews as a nation; or depict the
characteristic Of the New York Jew as
an immigrant or portray the pitiab!e
condition Of the poor Jew as a part of
the working class, Jehoash does not do
anything of the kind. For the first two
years Of his literary activity he did not
write a single line about the condition Cf
the Jews in this country or anywhere
else. It took Kishineff, Gomel and III
tomir massacres to arousa3etim to produce
dozen poems pieces d occasion. Again,
the best in these national songs are those

especially impressed with ''The Broken
Tablets, wherein the philosopher-poet
reveals his inmost soul / shall not pro

glad to be able to give here translation
of one of the above poems made by the
poet himself
OF the great and celebrated
Paganini, rumOr whispered
That within the tuneful spaces
OF his famous Stradivarus,
Hidden lay the soul enchanted
OF the maiden whom he loved with
All the fervent glow and ardor
All the wild and reckless passion
AS but poets app to love are
But enraged with jealous anger
Maddened at his thwarted wooing
He has stabbed and dealt the death blow.
Every time the great musician
With his bow-ike magic wand would
Bring the tears to every eye-laSh
Force the signs from every BOSOM
You could hear the quiet pleading.
Hear the soft caressing accents
OF that pretty dark-eyed maiden
interviewer with the music
And could see the face angelic.
Pale and fearful floating, flying
Hither, thither, as of begging
Mercy from her jealous lover.
Soon the sounds commence to quicken
Wildly hurrying, madly arguing,
Through melodious coils and tanges;
You hear the wrathful player,
Scolding, laundering, hurting curses,
Hurting threats of darkest vengeance,
Like host of fiery demons,
At his tickle, faithless sweetheart
Fiercer screams the hunted fiddle,
Till it's voice abruptly drowned is
In a sound of gurgling hoarseness
And stream of blood comes squirting.
With a knife thrust in her BOSOM
Cold and lifeless lies the maiden,
Staring still with eyes all CLASSY,
At her slayer, Paganini.
Hark The sounds waxing gloomy,
Dark and muffed and despondent,
Struggling in the shOreleSs ocean
OF despair human soul is
Mutely kneelng his VICTIM
TerrOr-strcken and remOrseful
Looks the vengeful virtuoso
At the blOO;l-besmeared stilettO.
Vain is all remorse . Repentance
Softens slowly into prayer,
Begging mercy, asking pardon,
And imploring God and angels
Mlder, slower, softer, lower,
Grows the waiing of the violin.
First it means and then it whmpers,
Sinking then to signing accents;
Slowly die the sounds Of sorrow,
And the strings scarcely breathing
Suddenly they all awaken,
And ten thousand birds are warbing:
No, it isn't birds that warble
'Tis peal Of girlish laughter,
Paganini pets and fOndes

COTTON VALUES WERE
LOWER AT THE CLOSE
Ameriuu Spot Cotton Quot
ed l-8C Lower.

Cotton values sagged yesterday, the
trading being somewhat listless. Fluc-
tuations were sluggish. The opening
was at moderate losses owing to q
disappointing Liverpool. So much
turmoil in the financial market finds
more or less reflection in the cotton
market, and bears hard on any at
tempt to lift prices. The firmness OF
spot holders is the support of the
contract markets. Price changes were
narrow, the close being around the
opening figures. New York was 5
to II points net lower at the last,
except that October was unchanged.
Spot changes were the same as for
the day before. New Orleans was
2 to points below the close for Fri
day, with spots unchanged. Liverpool
was 5 points off for spots and to 7
to II points for spots and to points
lower for options. The ports re-
ceipts were as follows; Savannah
14,786; Galveston, 11,787; New Or
leans 8,95S.
In the Americus spot market prices
were reduced 1-8 of a cent from Fri
days figures. Receipts were 1,118
bales for wagon. The demand at the
reduction was good, probably enough
to absorb the receipts, but in some in
stances there was shown DISPOSE
ton to look for better selling basis
this week. The sales were generally
made on a basis of II Is cents for
good middling.

Eleven hundred and twenty-five

Americus warehouses yesterday.
smashing all records of a day in wag-
on receipts. Oftimes in years past the
thousand bale mark has been reach
ed and Xceeded-thrice this season
already-but never before in the his
tory of the cotton trade here have
wagon receipts touched yesterdays
figures-1125 bales. 1t was the ban
ner day of the season-of many sea-
sons-and brought prosperity and
business to Americus merchants. AL
ready nearly $4,000 wagon bales have
been received at Americus ware
houses, a fair crop in itself, and other
thousands are yet to come. Yesterday
was a banner day in business circles
and merchants reaped a golden har-
vest with hundreds of cotton bales
selling at II IA cents and the money
spent here by thousands of busy buy

mead of the international federation

the fact that European spinners have

Change of Schedule Today
on Central.

Effective today, the Central OF
Georgia announces a change of sche-
dule on it's Americus-C Columbus div
ision, both for the regular passenger
and mixed train, though the changes
in the latter are very small. Of prin-
cipal interest to Americus is the fact
that under the new schedule the
passenger train will leave an hour
and a half later. The arrival will be
80 minutes later, leaving an interval
for visitors in the city nearly an
hour longer than heretofore. From
the standpoint of the merchants the
change will be welcomed.
Instead of arriving at 1880 p. M
as at present, the passenger train
from Columbus will arrive at 1:25 p
M Returning it will leave at 4:3O
instead of p. m. as at present. The
mixed train will arrive at GAS p m
instead of p. m. as heretofore, and
will leave in the morning at Z a. m.
instead of $50 a. m.

SPRUCE MOUNTAIN
I. IMPROVEMENTS
TEN 1O-HORSE TEAMS HAULING
ORE FROM LEASED GROUND
FOR DUNN AND HAND.
ROUTREE RELATES THE STORY
As The Mountain Becomes Better
Known 1t Occupies II PrOmi-
nent Place With Public.

Frank Rountree returned Wednes-
day evening from Spruce Mountain,
where he has been spending the past
week. He reports Spruce looking
better and better. He says that Jack
Creighton is as busy as hen laying
an egg on the holdings of the Roun-
tree-Creighton-Dr group and
he is more than satisfied with the
prospects of the camp. Prospectors
as well as men with money are COM
ing in daily. The prospector stays
while the man with money, after
looking over the camp, pulls out to
tell the story to capital.
Drumm and Hand are shipping
high grade copper ore from recent
strike made in the Snowbank and
Forest claims, lately leased from G.
M. Spence. They are working fifty
men and are in great need of more.
They have ten 10-horse teams haul
ing ore from the camp to Wells now
and want more.
The Black and Brennan group is
improving with work and from all
indications they have the world on a
down-hill pull.
Griffith and Nye are developing
rich copper holdings.
Spruce Mountain is unquestionably
coming camp and before snow flies
in '08 it may have a population OF
many thousands.

ANOTHER CAMP
FOR NEVADA
TENABO, LANDER COUNTY, THE
LATEST TO ATTRACT AT
TENTION OF MONEY.
MONTGOMERY WAITED LONG TIME
Several Companies are Operating in
The District Composed large
ly of Butte Men.

The organization of a syndicate of
big ones to take over the property of
the Cusick syndicate near Tenabo,
Lander county, has been finished in
Butte, and will soon begin doing
things on a magnificent scale in the
Tenabo section.
The Tenabo district is not new,
but work in it ON anything like an
ordinary scale has been carried on
but a short time. 1t is about 25
miles from Beowawa, a station on
the Central Pacific railroad west of
Ogden, and was discovered by c..
F. Montgomery more than twenty
years ago. Montgomery made a liv-
ing for many years by digging gold
bearing ore from the veins and ship
ping it to Salt Lake. About two
months ago others entered the dis
trict and soon discovered that the
mineral possibilities were much
greater than anyone supposed. NO
town had been established at that
time; in fact there was not very
much of anything there except Mont
gomery and the mineral.
Since then, however, the town of
Tenabo has sprung up and Is grow
ing and various enterprises have
been established. In addition, the
mines are undergoing development
on a fairly extensive scale and ship
ments of ore, some of which is very
rich in gold, are of almost every day
occurrence.
During the last year some of the
best mining engineers and rock
sharps of the country have visited
the district and inspected the min
eral deposits and, if reports are true,
all have spoken highly of it. The re-
suit of their Investigations has es-
tablished an outside interest in the
place and capital for the develop
ment of it's veins is pouring into it.
Several companies are operating
in the district, among them is the
Gold Quartz, in which several Butte
men are interested. The company is
sinking a working shaft on one of
its most promising claims, and is
leasing parts of its possessions to
individuals.
A Salt Lake firm is establishing a
lumber yard there and there is some
talk of putting in bank.
The Gem and Phoenix are under
going development as usual. w. 5.
Montgomery has new White steam
err carrying passengers in and out of
the district, and newspaper will be
established in short time, all the
money having been secured.

RAMSEY NOW In
LlMELIGHT
SEY.COMSTOCK WILL SOON
COMMENCE SHIPPING ORE
TO THE SHELTER.
LARGE TONNAGE BLOCKED OUT
Drifting on Levels Progressing Stead.
lily With Result That Greater
Tonnage Being Uncovered.

A Ramsey dispatch says: Ore that
will pay to ship-not merely the
fact of getting it to the smelters and
having the returns cover teaming,
railroad charges, ETC., but product
that nets returns to make the ship
ping process pay comfortable mar
gin, is the applied test of the mining
camp and it's mines. Ramsey is on
the verge of this condition and indi-
cations are that the camp will soon
have team loads of ore on the road
to the railroad station at Apache,
nine miles east.
The Ramsey Comstock mine is to
furnish some high grade ore, 1T is
said, and in sufficient quantities to
make monthly consignments. At an
annual meeting of the company, held
a few days since, the directorate came
to these conclusions and made public
a statement that the large tonnage
of shipping ore blocked out in the
mine is to be extracted and sent to
the Utah smelters, the first week in
August, or shortly after; other con-
signments are to be made each
month.
The pay shoots of the mine are
large and dependable, that on the
hanging wall of the ledge having an
average width of ten feet and along
the middle part of the ledge another
vein averages five feet. These ore
bodies occur in porphyry dyke that
is 20 feet wide from wall to wall and
they have been drifted on several
hundred feet, the ore extracted being
placed in sacks and piled away in
the drifts and crosscuts and on top
In consequence there is a large re-
serve already on hand ready to shiI
and between three levels a great
quantity is blocked out that Will FUR
nish supply for an extended period
Drifting on the levels is progressing
rapidly with the result of more ton
mage uncovered A mill is to be
erected for the reduction OF milling
grade ores contained in the balance
of the ledge.

saving of over 400 miles of haulage,
which will be a tremendous adyan-
tage to the company as literally thou
sands of tons of coal will be used
daily. Secondly, we will bring in
immense tonnage of high, medium
and low grade ores from the sur
rounding country to be treated.
"The same conditions which exist
at Ely exist at Tonopah and Goldfield
Instead of Hauling
coal over 900 miles, as is now the
case, to land coal at the camps, We
can land it with between 200 and
900 miles of a haul Naturally, with
such conditions existing, the revenue
to be derived from the building of
this road will be large, and it will
increase from year to year. We can
easily earn and pay over 100 per
cent profit the first year, while after
that it would be matter of specu-
lation to figure out how large our
profits will be.
The Entire Mileage
OF such a road will be only $50 miles
Two hundred and fifty miles of road
from the coal fields will reach Tono-
pah and Goldfield, while Ely will be
reached with an arm of the same
road less than 100 miles in length
and less than 200 miles from the
coal fields. Phoebe will be reached
within less than rs miles, while, as
I said before, many other camps will
be located along the $50 miles which
will be the total. length.
"Will such a road be narrow
guage Or of the standard guage, and
how much do you figure it will cost
to build it?"
cat first l was figuring to build a
narrow guage road to be changed lat
err to standard guage. But | have
decided to build a
Standard Guagc
Road at the start. This will cost
| more at the start but will be worth
while. l figure that we can build and
equip the $50 miles well within 49,
! 100000. We won't have to wait
until the road is finished, either, to
get returns from it, for we can start
in hauling coal and ore as soon as
the first section is built and thus
get some immediate returns. ! tell
you, there is nothing like a railroad
in Nevada today. The profit will
be immense. In fact, in talking about
| it, | am compelled to use extreme
caution and reduce the figures as 10
profits for fear of frightening people
with whom | am talking.
Another thing which the operat-
ing company will probably do. and
that is to put up a tremendous
| Smelter.'
