Metropolitan Opera Singer
Soon To Appear In Delta

The average young singer starting
on his or her career has one dream
beyond all other dreams, that OF being
included in the roster OF singers OF
the Metropolitan Opera House. Some
live to see the dream realized. but
only very few. Reinald Werrenrath.
the distinguished baritone who is TO
appear here on April never gave the
Metropolitan in particular, nor opera
in general more than passing
thought up to the day when out Of
tho clear sky came an invitation from
Gatti-Casazza to Join the company. 1t
was absolutely without precedent
Here was young singer who had
made an admirable reputation for
himself. but he had never been on
the stage, knew no operate roles and
had never shown any particular inter.
est in them.

.FRUITA BASKETBALL BOYS
AND GLENWOOD GIRLS WIN

The Fruita basketball boys and the
Glenwood girls are champions in the
Western Slope district of the Athletic
association, having proven their titles
at the tournament which closed here
at midnight Saturday.
The Telluride boys and girls made
rather poor showing and were
among the first eliminated. Montrose
girls and Paonia boys were the next
out These teams played remarkably
well, but were engaged in mighty stiff
competition with the remaining
teams; in fact. they were up against
real college ability.
The Delta girls surprised everybody
by defeating the fast Fruita six on
Friday evening by a score of 1921
Their work in this game was marvel
GUS. Saturday noon however, they
went down to defeat before Glenwood
by very narrow margin of 3740.
The Paonfa boys showed remark
able training but were submerged by
the superior work OF Gunnison Satur.
day afternoon. Late Saturday after.
noon the Delta girls, having already
played three games, played the second
game with Fruita. II was nip and
tuck for first place until the last
quarter when Delta maintained the
lead; the score was 1923.
There was only one semi-final which
was played at ten O'Clock between
Gunnison and Fruita The teams
were quite evenly matched during
the first half but Gunnison won out
by hong basket shooting, necessitating
the final game: however the boys fell
down on this work in the second game
losing to their opponents 21-14
The Delta girls team was greatly
weakened owing to the number OF
games they had been forced to play
in fact some OF them were at the
point of collapse and IT was not sur.
prising to those who knew OF this
that the cup went back to Glenwood
At the close OF the tournament Ref

STRANGE MIXUP IN TYPE
CAUSED ERROR FOR US

Our attention has been called to
discrepancy in our columns last week
in the sugar beet story. We stated
that il was estimated that the cost OF
topping thinning and hoeing beets
would be $500 per ton. and that
the Holly Sugar corporation offered
bonus OF soc per ton on beets run
ming over IA tons per acre.
The fact that the contract
calls for a price OF S2S per acre for
the work mentioned and that the
grower is 70 pay to the beet laborer a
bonus OF sec per ton on beets running
over IA tons.
II was not our intention 70 mislead
either the grower or the public in
general and we trust we have
Strengthened the matter out salts

Arsenic Mining May
Mean Big Thing for Us
Continued from first page)

Continued from first page)
The new corporation owns upwards
Of 800 acres in Gunnison county, where
bodies Of arsenical ores have been de-
veloped from two feet to six feet in
width, carrying from Is per cent to
rs high as 80 per cent arsenic. The
district has been examined by several
engineers, who pronounce it to be the
largest deposit Of high grade arsenic
al ores in the United States, il not in
the world. The incorporators are F..
C. Gilbert and H. B. Barnes Of Dem
yer, and s. s. Emery of Englewood,
Colorado. Mr.. Gilbert was for over
20 years connected with the American
Smelling 4 Refining company, and
Is considered one of the best posted
arsenic operators in the country. Mr..
Barnes is a consulting mechanical and
electrical engineer, who has been To-
Gated in Denver for 15 years and has
handled extensive construction and
operating projects for various clients.
Mr.. Emery was for many years with
the DUPONT interests rs chemical ex-
pert.
The corporation plans to construct
. strictly modern arsenic plant Of 100
tons per day crude orc capacity, at
some point in the Arkansas valley, not
yet disclosed. The traffic officers Of
the D. 4 r. G. w. railroad, realizing
the Importance Of this project to their
line and to the state, are cooperating
by assisting with every facility at
their command n the plant will be
most favorably located also in respect
to rates on the finished product to
eastern or southern chemical manu-
facturers.
With the combination Of extensive
high grade ore supplies, favorable
transportation conditions, cheap fuel
and technical experience and ability,
the project will shortly be q successful
operating baxis.
Now that arsenic is more valuable
than copper and furthermore, more
cheaply produced, all the older mining
districts have been scruntinixed care
fully by numerous experts in the hops
that their neglected ore bodies may
Be source Of profit. Even after all
this extensive search our arsenic
comes rs in the old days, chiefly from
fumes and fue dust obtained as q
by-product, source which cannot be
materially increased. Here and there
however, in the United States and IN
. few districts elsewhere, deposits %

have seenzsd . market with existing
sansltesss Or have been treated BY
