CONCLUSION
In conclusion / wish to say that
believe that much propaganda is being
broadcast favoring the Swing johnson
bill. The Saturday Evening Post has
launched a series of articles by that
astute writer, Albert w. Atwood, which
1 am persuaded to believe is pure pro-
paganda to help crystalize sentiment
in favor of the building of the Boulder
canyon power dam. The one thing we
lack is the California spirit of unity
pulling together. We must cultivate
this spirit if we hope to maintain our
just rights in the river. The great
trouble has been that while California
as Il unit mas DeeH -penQlnS every eIIOrC
and concentrating on one project,
namely the Boulder canyon dam, our
political office seekers each has a plan
all his own. For our best interests,
we should lay aside politics, Demo-
Gratis, Republicans, Independents, Labor,
and all fight side by side for our rights
in the Colorado river. While we are
fighting among ourselves, California
has apparently fastened her talons on
the water and power through the me-
dunn of the Swing Johnson bill.
wish to leave this thought with you.
The people of Arizona must rise up and
smite the politicians who are sacrifice
ing Arizona's rights and prosperity.
Take this problem from their hands,
unite.on definite plan to build this
great storage dam at Glenn canyon in
stead of Boulder canyon and through
her senators representative in con-
gress, civic organizations, clubs and
newspapers engage in a campaign ma
tion wide to spread the true facts and
obtain justice. That an amendment
should be forced on the SWING johnson
bill to the effect that the location of
this great dam shall be left to board
of impartial engineers, no member of
which lives in the basin states, nor in
any manner is connected or has been
connected with the Colorado river prob

Mine BOUCHTFOR FIFTY. CENTS
AFTERWARD SOLD FOR 100000

Bought for fifty cents. Sold for
$1,000. Resold for 100000. And valued
few years after at millions. This is
the history of the famous old Whale
mine near Idaho Springs, Colo, as re-
lated by Nathan S. Hurd, Sc years old,
pioneer mining man of Denver.
It's story which had it's inception
back in SO and go when thousands Of
adventuresome young men, stricken
with the gold fever, crossed the plains
by ox-team, on horseback, and even
afoot to wrest from the Rockies their
fortunes
And playing the leading roles are Col.
John M. Dumont of Denver also sc
years old, and a pioneer mining man,
and Hurd himself.
'In 1860, 1 left Denver, in the rush
to the newly discovered gold field at
Spanish Bar, about two miles from
where Idaho Springs is located now,''
said Hurd. There I met Dumont."
at was customary in those days,
when we made our laws, to form
mining districts whenever such rush
occurred. The first person reaching
could stake off 2O0-foot claims adjoin-
ing the original claim. The next could
procure claims adjoining these, and so
on.
"Then as the camp grew, and it was
necessary to support some sort of To-
cal government, it became necessary
to tax these claims. OF course, many
of them would be valueless, and their
original claimants would abandon them.
1t was at such a sale held in the
rear of an old shack that / bought
the claim which later became part of
the Whale mine. The owner had aban-
doned it, believing it was too far from
the original strike to contain pay ore.
Nobody would bid on it, so finally
offered half a dollar. No one raised
me, so the claim was knocked down to
me for SO cents.
"a few months later did some work
on the claim during my spare time and
uncovered what seemed to be traces OF

pay ore. Damont looked the claim
over and offered me $1,000 for, it. I
was glad enough to sell. M
"He developed the claim, found rich
ore bought some adjoining ground and
few years later sold the whole E=si-
ness for 100000. Think of it--$2OO,0OO
for the claim that / had bought for so
cents!
But that's not the end of the story.
Since that time $2,OOO,OOO worth of ore
has been taken from the Whale mine.
offers of several millions of dollars for
it have been refused.
"But this story isn't uncommon as it
sounds Similar sales and discoveries
were happening continually in those
days.
"Hurd made and lost several for
tunes in mining Colorado. He was
actively engaged in mining operations
until the demonetization of silver was
effected, and then he retired.
Colonel Dumont went to Denver in
1858, riding mule across the plains
from the Mississippi river"
Besides the Whale mine, he developed
the Freeland mine at Freeland, which
he sold for 100000 This mine since
has produced more than $2,0O0,OOO
worth of ore.
He also developed the Lone Tree mine
at Freeland, at one time big pro-
ducer. He still owns this property.

The present federal power act is a

officials were less hampered in the
administration of their duties, the Col

its solution worked out with justice for
all concerned.

The wine growing towns along the
Moselle and Saar rivers are doing
great business with their 1924 wines.
Hardly had the vintage been placed on

It's aroma and taste are said to be un-
usually excellent.
There are whole villages in which

LONDON FIRM
DOESN'T WANT
MEN UNDER &c
(By Dispatch A. p. wire)

LONDON, Oct. 2.-When is a man
grown up? Not until he is 26, says the
London General Omnibus company,
which employs several thousand drivers
and conductors in covering the London
area with it's network of speedy buss
service.
The company believes that youths
normally develop their sense of respon-
sibility to full pitch between the ages
of "a and 26 and it will not accept as
drivers men who have not reached the
latter age.
I'VE do not say anything against the
young man of 24,' says one of the
chiefs of the selection staff 1--WE
choose men of that age to fill vacancies
as conductors, but we will not take
them as drivers until they are 26.'
American negro melodies have been
introduced into the musical program
of the old Southwark cathedral, just
across London bridge on the south side
of the Thames. Noon day recitals are
given there for the benefit of the por-
ters at the hops market and other
workers from nearby establishments.
The selections are from the negro
expected to prove a potent drawing
card for luncheon-hour audiences III

viii You Help the Times
Or The DAILY WORKER?
WILL YOU HELP THE LEFT WING OR THE
te REACTIONARIES?

THE New York Times has just carried an editorial with
a vicious attack against the left wing in the needle
trades. The New York Times tries to show how much
better off are the railroad workers, who received
paltry 7ac increase at the hands of the Railroad Ar
bitration Board than the garment workers. who have
won the 4o-hour week and substantial increase in
wages thru their strike in spite of the sabotage OF the
right wing. .,-t-
Now the whole is yeIping like a pack Of
hyenas at the heels of the left wing Signan Lewis
WoII, Mcmahon, the garment manufacturers the gov
eminent. and last but not least the New York Times
In the last few days the donations to keep The DAILY
WORKER have run below their previous record. BY
failing to keep up the support Of The DAILY WORKER
the left wing is indirectly helping the agents Of reaction
to fight the left wing. This comes at the dam
gerous time when all these forces concentrating
their attack.
The left wing must win this fight tho all the
forces Of the devil be let loose against it, The best way
to help the left wing win this fight to keep The DAILY
WORKER. Every dollar sent in blow at Sig
man. WolI, Lewis, Mcmahon & Co. and their partners
the government and the New York Times. We must
hit NOW. We must hit HARD. Send the dollars fast
and generously. KEEP THE DAILY WORKER at all
fight the enemies of the left wing and Of labor
generally.

that no new policies are needed by

fermentation with untried theories, but
rather continuation of those which are

1T OCCUPIES IN THE WORLD"
Our population has not greatly Increased since

American capitalists carrying their imperial
ist exploitation has been greatly extended This rs
what President Coolidge MEANS speaking for the
capitalists, in arguing for military establishment
prOportOnate to "the dignity Of the place" which
this country occupies In the world.

American capitalists have invested In foreign
tries The nearly thrsequarters Of billion dollars
expended to maintain the army and navy is paid out
Of which, the president has already shown, Is
passed along by the capitalists to the workers and
farmers.
The standard Of life of every worker and farmer Is
reduced so that we may pay for army and navy
which protect the billions which the capital
lists have loaned and invested to Europe. We
must be prepared to fight Mexico in the interest Of
the oil companies.
We must have an army and navy which
its iron fist to set up the kind Of governments Wall
Street needs in Nicaragua, Haiti and santo Domingo
and other Central and South American governments
We must be prepared to hold the Philippines for
the rubber companies. Our army and navy must
be ready to intervene in China in the Interest Of the
American capitalists.
The workers and farmers must pay the $6so,ooo
600 to maintain the great military establishment
which the capitalists need for these purposes out
of the wealth they produce. That is what is hidden
behind the fine words Of the presidents message.
