The Post Bureau.

Austin Texas, May 10.
THE LEGISLATURE transacted business
in listuess sort of way today and it
was hard matter to keep the members
sufficiently interested in what was going
On to get them to vote half the time.
The most important matter disposed of
by the house was the bill taxing incomes
1t was passed finally after having been
amended so as to impose a tax of per
cent on incomes of $1,000 or over. This
evening an effort was made to call up
the libel bill, but it failed, The free
conference committee report on the anti
trust bill was adopted without discus
sion. Said report was presented TO the
senate also, but not disposed OF over
there.
BOTH HOUSES adjourned until Monday
next this evening to give the free con-
ference committee having the appropria-
ton bill in charge a chance to work In
peace. Said committee worked all day
behind closed doors and members thereof
tonight state that about one third of the
Dill was gone over and that all items
waerein there is no difference in the
amounts carried in both the house and
senate bills were agreed to. In other
words, the committee did nothing toward
fetonciing the differences existing be-
tween the two houses on the bill Some
say that the committee will be ready to
report Monday, while others are of the
oplnlon that It will not come to the front
before Tuesday That the report will bt
unanimous no one affects to believe al
this writing.
THERE IS NO POSITIVE INFORMATION

amism yet every one is tinged with i
rlsat now. Furthermore, all hope of al
adjournment sine die on Tuesday mex
mas disappeared.

Poetry of Death.

Who on the desert that did not know
Paddy Dwyer in life? If there is one
he missed one of the pleasures of life.
Paddy Dwyer was one of natures no.
blemen, poet, a DIRE Nmer. After his
death few weeks ago, William Helm
rod, in rummaging over his effects
came across the following bit of word
painting:
"Then the mind takes
one into that passionless land, where,
stripped of the grossness of desire, one
stands face to face with Death, and
finds the Grim Reaper not at all hide
Gus, but a pleasant helper, instead,
who, with friendly nod, ushers one
through the portals of the house of
Sleep to his longed-for rest: and 10!
all things grow plain, and the mystery
of the great change is like the old mys
terry of our childhood that melted
away in the light of day, and the black
clouds are the tinted fleeces of the
sunrise of Eternal Rest: and the creeds
of Jesus and Moses, Mohammed and
Budha, Plato and the Greeks, all blend
back to that human love that lies
beneath all that is good, which is all
that is holy on this earth, and the
songs of the Poets, and the Myths OF
the Singers grow more beautiful, and
one feels that AS Azreal hovers DER the
chamber of death, it is the soft, ryth,
mic beat of his waiting wings that
makes the music of Israel which lulls
to the dreamless sleep that is eternal
peace and rest"

Rufe r. Allison Dead.

Rufus X. Allison died on the train
between Barstow and Moiave last Sun
day night, while being conveyed to the
German hospital at San Francisco. He
had been i'll for ten days or more, but
it was not thought serious consequences
would result. His death was sudden
and is supposed to have been caused
by Bright's disease.
Z. L. Thompson took Mondays train
and returned with the body Wednes-
day morning. His funeral took place
from his late residence on South Third
street Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock
and the remains were followed to the
grave by large number of people.
Funeral services were conducted at
the grave by Rev. Seigler.
R.R. Allison was native of Ohio
and was aged about 46 years. He came
To Arizona when quite young. He
lived many years in Flagstaff and vi
cinity, coming to Mohave county about
eight years ago. He was a genial
kindly man, who made friends wher
ever he went and his untimely death is
widely regretted.

at Virginia Camp, reports having cut
the ledge and opened up the richest
body of ore ever seen ia that rich prop
erty. The whole vein, which is veri-
table mountain of ore, has a high mill
ing value and small streaks of two or
three feet each will go away up iu the
hundreds. As soon as the slopes are
opened up the ten-stamp mill will be
set to work pounding out its golden
stream. The mine is in the formation
peculiar to Virginia Camp-a lime car

The machinery of the Yucca Cyanide
Mining and Milling Co., consisting of
complete ten stamp mill, has arrived
in Kingman, and already part of it has
been loaded on freight wagons and is en-
transit to the San Francisco mine,
Cedar district, where it will be erected
and running within sixty days, accord
ing to the understanding between the
company and owners, The w. II. Tag
CART Mercantile Co. and TirbuciO Pa
dillo. In our opinion the success of this
enterprise is almost an assured fact,
as the San Francisco is a big vein of
gold-bearing quartz, and has shipped
rich ore continually ever since its dis
covery. The only obstacle to be over
come is water, which at certain seasons
is likely to be scarce. Outside of this
draw back, there is nothing to hinder,
and even this obstacle will likely be
removed with development work now
in progress on the springs in the i'm.
mediate vicinity.
