The OVERLAND PONY EXPRESS.

The Overland Stage is fast nearing the Post
Enveoped in dust, like an uncanny ghost,
1t sways its journey through shadow and light,
For the fort must be reached eer the tall OF the night
On the edge of the desert which stretches away
To'ard the sun, descending, like wolves held at bay
The treacherous Redskins lying in wait
For the unguarded victim who leaves its barred gate
Beside the wild broncho he scarce restrain
The lone rider waits with his hand on the rein
Till the pouch from the boot of the Concord is passed
To his cantel behind, where the thongs make it fast
Then springng astride with hearty $50 long
His spurs find the fur and the unlocking throng
Are gazing in wonder along the dim trail
While clouds of red dust their nostrils assa
The gates of the Fortress closed and made fast
AS the flag flutters down from the top of the mast,
And shades of the evening exclude from the sight
The dauntess young rider who fades in the night
AS to- ard the summit he hasens along
He huns to himself favorite song
And dreams of his Sweetheart with laughing blue
Who waits for his coming, beneath southern skies.
Aware of the danger from merciess foes
Swift through the night he increasingly goes,
His cayuse neer Stacking its renegade pace
While smile, like babys, creeps over his face
AS he thinks of the blessings he carries along
To some lad, from his mother, or childish love song
That will gladden. the heart OF her miner at rest
In the bunk of his cabin, somewhere in the west.
His revery ceases, for far in the night
From the station he CoVetS, there flashes light
And then he listens there falls on his
The call of a whippoorwill, lowering
TO answer their challenge he utters the cry
OF 'cayute' that scents from the sod covered sty,
Some newly born pigs, a fresh ruttng hound
AS he howls the night from the sage hidden mound
His speed is slackened and up to the shed
His dripping wet mustang is carefully led,
Where he is assisted by rough, willing hands,
For it is with effort he painfully stands
He drains deep schooner while horses changed,
BY those who from safety are gladly estranged,
But who seeming heartless, are tender as girls
To the daredevil rider with long streaming curls.
Again he is off; straight into the night,
Soon leaving behind the welcome and light,

Along the unguarded, and dangerous trail
With treasures of gold, and Uncle Sans mail;
Maintaining pace that none could endure
Except the wild mustang, whose footing is sure,
And who, with his rider, though oft in distress,
Is seldom behind with the Pony Express
One half O his journey, at least fifty miles,
Is left behind amid the dark wids,
And hope is beginning to sing in his ear
When of the darkness fierce Warriors appear
His spurs thrust deep in the cayuses sides,
Fort the to him who most fearlessly rides
Regardless of trail, in fact, lack OF
And who can the quickest unmber his gun.
On through their midst fierce hurricane
He rushes along toward the akai plain
To pitch from his saddle, his horse falling dead
From wounds which have sprinked his leggns with red
Unframed by their arrows, though still they pursue,
He shelters himself and with aim swift and true

Repulsed by the slaughter they hardly can hide
The marauders withdraw and reluctantly ride
Away the foothills, and leave him alone,

The curse of desert-the demon of thirst
parching his throat, but what he heeds first
Is the fact that the landscape is new to his sight
That the trail has been lost in the hot running fight
Mid the alka dust of the deserts drear waste,
Where the heats the sand to a glow,
And the trail is o'er-srewn with the bones OF the dead
Which are bleaching as white as the snow
Where atmosphere CLEANS with a sulphurous hue
And the sand reaches far out of sight;
Where the low barren hills, like demons asleep
Reflect back the dazzling light
Not blade of green grass a creature in sight;
OF air it hardly breath,
Where the silence broken alone by himself
And speaks only of death.
His eyes search the landscape for cottonwood trees,
For seep from the ground under these
But leaf trembles to gladden. his sight,
Or lessen the terror of his awful plight.
Half dead from exhauton and dazed by the fall,

Though often polluted by savage and beast

Scarce thinking of aught but the terrible thirst,
He staggers along till on his sight burst
Two warriors, well mounted, but still unaware
That the of their search is awaiting them there,
Who drink from skin they pass it around,
Which filled spring bubbing from the ground
Far back in the hills, where the giant pines grow,
And hide the south winds their treasures OF snow

CENTRAL LABOR UNION.
A Poorly Attended Meeting Results in
a Short Business Session.

For some reason or other the at
tendance at the Tuesday evening
meeting of the Central Labor Union
was the smallest for months. Perhaps
it was due to the fact that The Wage
worker neglected to announce it the
week before President Rudy was
absent from the city SO Weep, esident
Quick officiated. Only routine bust
ress was transacted.
The Labor Day program was an
nounced and the delegates urged to
go back to their locals and arouse
some more enthusiasm. J. w. Dick

spoke a few words. Others urged the
necessity of union men getting behind
Dickson's candidacy and doing some
lively hustling between now and sun
down nlEt Tuesday.
Delegates from the Tailors' Union
made a brief report of conditions in
their present controversy. The story
of assaults on non-union tailors was
branded. as a fabrication and told for
the purpose of prejudicing the public.

Seventy Men in Omaha Strike for Sat
urday Half Holiday.
The sheet metal workers of Omaha
asked their employers for Saturday
half-holiday and were refused. They
said they would take it.
''All right said the employers.
But you need not come back Mon
day"
The men took the Saturday after
noon off, and they did not show up
for work Monday, knowing that they
were locked out. They did not ask
pay for the half-holiday, but they in
sisted on time and half if they
worked then. This was refused. The
ground of refusal was that this is the
busy season and every man is needed
The idea of adding some more men
SENS never to have entered the
heads of the bosses.
The employers are not trying tc
get new men, and the locked out EN-
ployes are putting in their time al
the Labor Temple or in fishing. There
is a general impression that the diff
ficulty will be amicably adjusted in g
short time.

TAFT AND LITTLEFIELD. .
How the Republican Candidate Bic
Defiance to Organized Labor.

Mr. Union Man, do you remember
when we were trying our best to de-
feat Congressman Littlefield of Maine,
that arch enemy of trades unionism
Every effort was put forth by the
American Federation of Labor to en-
compass Littlefield's defeat.
William Howard Taft, republican
candidate for president, went into
Littlefields district and exerted every
effort to secure Littlefields reelection.
The Chicago Record-Herald is a
pretty good republican paper, isn't it ?
Well, Mr.. Taft went into Littlefield's
district on September 5, 1907, and in
it's report of Taft's speech the Chi
cago Record-Herald OF September
had the following headline over a

SONORA SETTINGS.

In another column appears the regular monthly statement of the Banco de Sonora, to which atten- tion is called as showing the steady advance in business and prestige manifested by that great financial institution, which ranks among the most solid and substantial in the republic.
 The Sonora Cooper Company has reached the ledge in it's lowest tunnel, some seven hundred feet below the croppings, and has en- countered there a body of sul- phides that promises great returns. At this writing the ledge has been penetrated but a short distance, but it is in good ore. Develop ment in that tunnel Is being pushed as rapidly as possible, and great results are anticipated.

However, the dip of the lead Is such that the incline would have to be sunk about five hun dred feet to get an actual depth of about two hundred feet below the starting point. The dip. in fact, Is about he same as the dip of the big silver vein of the famous Hard shell mine, about six miles to the west. The management is debat- ing whether 10 sink a shaft two hundred feet at the mouth of the tunnel where the leads were en- countered, and crosscut in; or to go to the other side of the hill and tunnel from low down in the gulch.
 The ore taken from the streaks that cut the ledge here assays l9 per cent copper and $40 gold, and also carries silver values.
 Sixteen men are now employed at the camp, but the management intends to double the force in a short time.
 At the camp on the flat new carpenter shop and blacksmith shop is now being built. A sta ble for the horses and a warehouse will also be built and several new tent houses for the compsny's em- ployes will soon be added to the camp.

AS OTHERS SEE US.
An Eastern Idea of Patagonia as Des. cribed Tn the Evening World of
 New York.

"Uncle Bill" Powers, the mayor of Patagonia. has just received copy of the Evening World of New York, with a double column pie ture of his welve-year-old niece, Helen Bowe of Wilmington, Dela- ware, and the following mention of Patagonia:
 Helen Bowe is a self reliant little miss of twelve who starts to- day on trip to the most desolate little town, perhaps, in this big country, and she goes alone.
 "rhe town is Patagonia, down near the southern boundary of Arizona, and 1t contains just forty one inhabitants when they are all at home. It Is mining town, and Helen's uncle, William Powers, lives there.
 "rhe little lady's home is in Wilmington, Del. She came to this city week ago and has been stopping with another uncle, Rob- ert Ashton, of No. 250 St. Nicholas avenue.
 Helen is Uncle Bob's pride. He is a horse dealer and has travelled about the States much, and on many of his trips he has taken the young girl. She has in the last three years of her life travelled about twenty thousand miles, and much of this distance she has cov- cred alone.
 "She refuses to go tagged as do the young immigrants who are 'ex- pressed' to the west
 Il have tongue she says, 'and 1 know how to talk; and, besides Uncle Bob has told me to do as he does. When 1 get aboard the train l tell the porter all my plans and give him half d dollar. He always looks out for me.
 Helen has great faith in the Pullman porter.
 Patagonia is a hard spot to reach, but Helen says she can get there."
 And, faith, she got there. She stepped off the train at Patagonia few nights ago and soon hunted up her uocle Bill, who hasn't yet recovered from h;s surprise. The little girl arrived just two days ahead of the newspapers that an nounced her coming. After spend ing couple of days with her Uncle Bill she went out to Harshaw, where she is now enjoying western life in it's freest at the home of her aunt, Mrs. Richard Farrell. who recently sold the Morning Glory to Chris Wilson. Uncle Bill" swears that Helen will be his heiress when he sells the Bland mine.
 Helen now rides bronco and has cowboy saddle, rawhide lariat and spurs, and has become quite an expertsat roping calves. dogs and chickens. Though eight miles from town she rides into Patagonia every second day to talk mines with Uncle Bill.
