At the same time he announced that he had lost the option upon the land in New Mexico where he expect ed to found a new colony, but would buy property adjacent to Zion City and found the colony there.
 The speech of Voliva was his swan song so far as Zion City is concerned. He said that he had received formal notice from John c. Hately, the re ceiver of Zion City, to vacate the premises which he has used as offices and the publication plant of his official paper, within 30 days. He said that he would get ont and would not pay another dollar to the receiver. Voliya was bitter against Mir. Hately and branded his treatment as persecution. No explanation of how he lost the op- ton on the lands in New Mexico was vouchsafed by Voliva. It was general ly understood that he had failed to re ceive the financial backing he had et Dected
