" ouldn't Kiss and n1ale t1T3

Here is another account sent out
from Washington about tie appear
ance of Senator Clarke to take the
cath without an escort. which purports
to be a true statement:
1t has long been the custom when
a new senator appears to take the
oath of office for his colleague in the
senate to escort him to the presidents S
desk and stand by his side when he
takes the oath of office. 1t was OBJ
served the other day that when the
name of Senator Clarke. of Arkansas,
was called he went forward alone
to take the oath, while his colleague,
Senator Berry, sat motionless in his
seat. While it was pretty generally
known among senators that they
were not on the most cordial terms,
the incident caused buzz of COM
ment and considerable surprise was
expressed.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1903-03-17

The fact was commented on IN the
local papers, but the full history CT
the incident was not given. The fact
was that Senator Berry had conveyed
TO Senator Clarke. through a mutual
friend, courteous statement to the
effect that he was willing to waive
personal considerations in this mat
ter and comply with the longstanding
custom. This polite overture met with
a prompt rebuff from Senator Clarke,
and here the matter ended.
There was a similar situation with
a different sequel between the Ne
vada senators. Senator Newlands and
Senator Stewart have not been on
speaking terms for some years, but
when the latter conveyed to the for
mer, through mutual friend, his will
lingness to conform to the usual Gus
tom Mr.. Newlands promptly acquiesc-
ed, and the two walked down the
aisle arm in arm together.

The New Arkansas

Just about forty years ago one of
the first iron-clad war vessels built
boldly projected herself into a swarm
ing fleet and for a while played havoc.
Only the failure of her crudelycGn-
constructed engines saved her enemy
from defeat and wrought her own de-
stlugtion. The iron-clad was the Ar
kansas. and she flew the flag of the
lost cause. which on both land and
water taught the world new lessons
in the science of battle against odds.
The people who live along the Mis-
sissippi will have another opportunity
one day this spring to see another
Arkansas on the same historic waters,
one which alone could have cleaned
cut of the Mississippi al Of the mul-
titude OF war vessels OF l7Gote and

RELIC OF JOHN BROWN.
Chicago CoIored Man Owns Part Of
Eope Which E!aroed Him.

One OF the interesting curios on
view at the late Iliddle States and
Mississippi Valley Negro Exposition
at the First Regiment armory was
owned by Henry Washington of 591
West Lake street 1t is a piece of the
rope with which John Browns eXis-
tence was ended at Harper's Ferry.
Washington vGuches for the authenti-
city Of this reminder of the martyr,
whose spirit goes marching on. He
bases his eredenee OH the following
circumstances, as related by him.
His mother, Harriet Duckett, free
woman, was married to a slave owned
by Edward St0nebreakcr Of Pleasant
NaIley, Md. Because Of the difference
in the social condition of the two she
Nas compelled to live apart from him
at Halper's Ferry. When John Brown
made his appearance at that place his
arrival was know. only to a few free
eolorcd people thereabOnts Notable
among these was Harriet Duckett.
On the day that Brown became a
martyr to the cause which he believed
to be right throngs of curious people
came to view his execution. After
the har ging the rope was cut and tae
pieces distributed among the owners
OF the near by plantations as souve-
Eirs among those who secured piece
OIL the rope was the master Of Henry

SIERRA COUNTY
MINING NOTES
"A Large Body Of Good Ore Found in
Recent Development Work on
Z the Minnehaha Mine in the
Black Range, Grafton
Mining District.
REVIVAL OF INTEREST IN THAT SECTION

Recent development on the Minneha-
ha mine in the Black Range, Grafton
mining district in Sierra county has
found a large body of good ore. G. T.
Brown and James B. Taylor, while
working this property under lease three
or four years ago, made several ship
ments to the Magdalena smelter which
| ranged from two to eleven ounces in
gold and 20 to 14O ounces silver. The
strike was made on the surface and at
20 feet was supposed to be dug out.
Now at depth of so feet or little
over, the whole shaft is in ore that COM
pares favorably with what was taken
out on the surface.
The Oliver Mining Company has just
about reached the vein in the Good
enough and will continue the work by
drifting. There are some very rich
chutes of ore on the property and this
means of development is almost sure to
strike several of them.
James B. Taylor has recently compile
ted contract of cross-cut work on the
Emporia mine at Grafton. B. S. Phil
lips who has an option on this proper
ty, expects to put up mill on it pro-
viding the sampling of the vein will av-
erage IS per ton.
Thomas Scales is running force of
six men on a tunnel to reach the Conf
dence vein in the Cuchillos. A boarding
house is the latest provision for the
comfort of the employees.
c. Fl. Laidlaw is taking out some fine
looking copper ore while doing assess
ments on his Black Knife properties in
the Cuchillos. He has doubled his cab
in capacity and is constructing wagon
road down the mountain to connect
with the Engle stage road.
Quite force Of men is at work on
the Lady Franklin mine at kingston.
The work is in sinking and exploiting
the ground for bodies of ore similar to
those that made this district famous In
1884. About $6,OOO,0OO or $7,0O0,OOO was
extracted in the early sos and now ef-
forts are being made to find more of the
same kind,
Macdonald and Scales have placed
their new saw mill in Edwards Camp
Gulch and expect to be in operation
shortly to supply the demand for build
ing lumber
The New Era mine is continuing out
put and operations under the manage
ment of Lee Terry. Sinking the work.
ing shaft is progressing as fast as cir
cumstances will permit.
