Ebbs the crimson life-tide fast,
And the dark Plutonian shadows
Gather on the evening blast.

Hush thy sobs and bow thine ear
Hearken to the great heart secrets,
Thou, and thou alone, must hear.
Though my SCARED and veteran legions
Bear their eagles high no more,
And my wrecked and shattered galleys
Strew dark Uctium's fatal shore;
Though glittering guard surround me-
Prompt to do their masters will,

Die, the great Triumvir STILL
Let not Caesars servile minions
Mock the lion thus laid low;
Twas no foeman's hand that slew him.
Twas his own that struck the blow.
Here then, pilowed on thy bosom,
Ere his star fades quite away,
Him, who drunk with thy caresses,
Madly flung world away;
Should the base Plebian rabble
Dare assail my fame at Rome,
Where the noble spouse, Octava,
Weeps within her widowed home;
Seeelx her-say the Gods have told me,
Affairs, augurs, circling wings
That her blood with mine commingled
Yet shall mount the throne of kings
And for thee, star-eyed Egyptian!
Glorious Sorceress of the Nile
Light the path to Stygian honors
With the splendor of thy smile.
Give the Caesar crowns and arches
let his brow the laurel twine; Tevn

Triumphing in love like thine.

Goldstein of Boston, April Is in the
Auditorium. Mr.. Goldstein is a
trade unionist, having played an ac-
tive part in the Cigar Makers Inter
national Union. in which he proudly
boasts that he holds a 25-year-old
card. As delegate to the Massa-
chusetts state convention of the AM
erican Federation of Labor he was
instrumental in having the first pos
itive pronouncement passed by state
convention of trade unions against
the propaganda of socialism within
the trade union movement, and the
socialist attempt from without to de-
stroy the legitimate unions of labor
by the organization of the Industrial
Workers of the World.
There is no doubt that Mr.. Gold
stein knows his subject and knows
how to tell others what he knows. In
a good. clear, capable manner he pre-
sents his reasons why the American
people should take a decided stand
against socialism. THE Bulletin"

Mr.. Goldsteins career on the lecture

HELEN GRENFELL
WILL ENTER RACE
FOR TREASURER
sentlnei special Service.

Denver, March 31.-The very lat
est political rumor which involves
possible action on the part of the
united women of the state, both DEM
ocratic and Republican, is the return
to Colorado of Mrs. Helen Grenfen.
who it is said intends to enter the
race for state treasurer, a position
which pays $4,000 year, the highest
salaried elective position within the
gift of the people of the state.
Recently the Grenfells removed to
Houston, Tex, where Mr.. Grenfell
was given lucrative position with a
Texas railroad. The climate of the
Lone Star state did not agree with
Mrs. Grenfell and she returned to
Colorado ostensibly for the benefit of
her health, but there are those aboit
the state house who say that she
came back for no other purpose than
to become candidate for state
treasurer
1t is known definitely, however,
that other women of prominence
about the state capitol are against a
woman for this office and are at
tempting to discourage Mrs. Gren-
fell in her aspirations. They declare
openly that they oppose a woman for
treasurer, but do approve of one
running for secretary of state. The
reasons they give for their objections
to Mrs. Grenfell's plans is that there
is not enough patronage" attached
to the office of state treasurer. while
there is to the secretary of state.
Speaking of the matter of women
demanding some of the state elective
offices, Mrs. Alma Lafferty. formerly
a member of the house of represen-
tatives, declared that she opposed any
woman for these places and really did
not believe the other women serious
ly intended putting out candidates for
either the office of treasurer or sec
retary of state. She discourages any
movement along these lines and says
that in her judgment there will be no
fight made for either of these offices
by the women despite the great
amount of talk about the matter In
the newspapers.

Eliminating Alkali.


Successful progress in the elimina-

WORTHLESS LAND
IN VALLEY CAN Be
MADE PROFITABLE

Experiments now being made will
undoubtedly show that all of the al
kali lands in the Grand valley, which
hitherto have been regarded as
worthless, are capable of profitable
reclamation by drainage, according to
a report of ID. G.. Miller, drainage en-
gineer of the United States depart
ment of agriculture, which has been
received by Governor Ammons, says
the Denver News.
The report is a new attestation of
the worth of Colorado lands. 1t, in
fact, adds another resource to the
states agricultural interests, a re-
source of thousands of acres which
in the past have been considered at
the best worthy only of grazing use.
Can BE Made Profitable.
In very few seasons this expert
ment will undoubtedly show that
drainage is very profitable even
under the worst conditions in the
Grand valley" says the report.
For several months Miller has been
in charge of drainage and flooding
operations on the Mckinney expert
mental tract near the old Indian
school southeast of Grand Junction.
The experiments have had to do with
problems which would solve the
reclamation of the old Indian school
land grant and have been of such a
nature that they are applicable to all
of the barren land of the valley.
The chief difficulty is the elimina-
tion of the alkali which thickly i'm
pregnates the upper soil of the bar

cultivation. Another characteristic

NEW FIND MADE
ON SANDSTONE
SOUTH DRIFT ON $50 LEVEL
REVEALS EXTENSION OF
ORE BODY


At point in the south drift on
the 350-foot level of the Sandstone
Kendall Consolidated, where the
downward continuation of the ore
shoot exposed on the 200-foot level
was expected to be found, ore OF
commercial value has been encoun-
tered. An average of the ore ex-
posed, as shown by samples taken,
gives assay results of $32 per ton
for a length of ten feet and an av-
erage width of eighteen inches
News of the discovery was given out
today by General Manager A. 1.
Darcy.
Considerable Importance attaches
to the disclosure, as the rake of the
ore body to the south between the
200 and 350-foot levels gives a
"back" of about 800 feet. A stope
on the ore body above the 2OO-foot
level yielded five carloads of ore
that netted $7,937.29. One carload
of the ore was taken from a space
ten feet square in the stope. Drift
ing south on the 350-foot level con-
tinues to reveal an intersection of
the contact of the Milltown andesite
and Sandstorm rhyolite with a

MARKET
RESUMES CALLS
ESPECIALLY THE ISSUES
OF TONOPAH

After a suspension of twenty-seven
days, due to the uncertain financial
conditions following the inception of
the war in Europe, the San Fran
cisco stock exchange Wednesday
morning resumed formal calls of
Goldfield and Tonopah mining
stocks.
AS was to be expected. all the is
sues evidenced weakness in which
the local stocks showed up better
than those of the silver camp. The
Goldfield securities opened the mar
ket at an average of one to five
points lower than the quotations that
prevailed at the time of the suspen-
sion of calls on July 80, while the To-
nopah stocks were off from one to
fifteen points. Contrary to expecta-
tions, the resumption of calls was not
marked by promiscuous dumping of
stocks on the market, the trading be-
ing about normal for this season of
the year.

seven days, due to the uncertainty OF
the financial outlook at the inception
of the European conflict, found the is
sues of the local mines from one to
five points off, the quotations-prices,
not values-by no means reflected
conditions prevailing in the proper
ties, which continue highly satisfac-
tory, particularly in view of the fact
that Goldfield is a gold producer and
the value of it's finished product does
not fluctuate, as does silver and cop
per. The resumption of calls SEEM
ed to provide brokers with the long
awaited opportunity to dispose OF the
accumulated securities of stockhold-
ers who were willing to make sacri-
fees. Contrary to expectations, how
ever, the reopening of the exchange
was not characterized by as great a
dumping of securities as has been ex-
pected, the volume of trading being
but little above normal at this sea-
son of the year, always dull period
in mining stock transfers. In the
minds of many local brokers, who are
familiar with conditions prevailing in
the local mines and prospects, bar
gain day prices on Goldfield and To-
nopah stocks hold sway at present
and offer exceptional opportunities
for buying, there being every indi-
cation that quotations will quickly
right themselves to the handsome re-
