Dr. Moore has written a North Car
DINA epic that treats of the most ro-
mantle and interesting period of
North Carolina history-the story of
Raleighs Lost Colony. In stately
verse he tells how Virginia Dare, the
first white child born in the New
World, married Laska, the brave and
Stalwart Indian chief--the son of
Manteo. Here is how the "Chieftain
bold and strong" ''wooed his fair
one"
"The suns bright beams are on the
Lake.
And gently flows the tide;
The winds are hushed for thy dear
sake,
All DER the waters wide.
Then come, my Love, and let us see,
The glories of the day;
The Sun beams wait TO shine on thee,
And gain a brighter ray.
"Come as the Fawn. both light and
fleet
While l am waiting thee;
IT'S time to leave thy dear retreat,
And come to be with me.
AS lovely Dove, who sits to mourn,
The absence of it's mate;
To thee my plaintiVe song is borne,
Come, comel-'tis late. it's late!"
We are told that
Virginia was not as a modern belle,
In fiimsy tinsel made to shine. Truth
to tell,
She did not need modern tailor's
To make her up-Nature had done her
J part,
And she had done it Will"
The difference between the English
blood and the Indian blood did not
prevent the successful Wooing of the
Indian, for the poet sings:
Both man and maid,
In love as pure as heaven, pledged
their word.
And sealed it with the lovers sign"
The wedding celebration is told in
stately verse and here is portion of
the song of the Indians who came 'to
express their gladness at the happy
day"
From far away over the sea,
The pale faced Stranger came;
A weak and punny thing was she,
The Bear and Fox to tame.
But she the cunning Fox has tanned,
And wild Bear from the wood;
None other now is half so famed,
None other half so good.
AS Laska's Bride we sing to thee.
The great one and the strong;
May his big heart thy shelter be,
And he they daily song
Thou art Bride to the noble tribe,
Whose love we bring thee now;
And we are proud to be allied
To one so good as thou"
How the bride taught her swarthy
husband to speak and write English,
how Manteo. in his old age, called his
people to follow Laska, how Gran
ganimeo refused because 1.-The Pale
face stole Laska's heart" how Laska
won in hand-to-hand duel with his
enemy, and how Virginia Dare
was elevated as Queen of the Croa-
tans-all this is told in verse of real
merit that holds the interest of the
reader. The pale faced Queen led the
race into the knowledge of the true
God, taught the Indians the pursuits
of peace, and transmitted love of lib
erty to her posterity. From the clos
ing chapter this apostrophe to Lib
erty is taken:
Liberty! Liberty! For thy dear sake,
What costly sacrifices men do make;
Yet who has family tasted of thy
good,
And would not wisely buy thee, if
he could?"
DR.. Moore has written poem that
deserves to live, upon subject that
has interest for all students of Ameri-
can history and it should have wide
sale.

thor of Sea Fighters from Drake
to Farragut" Illustrated by Alden

pages. Publishers: Charles Serb
ners Sons, New York
What boy or man does not love the
narrowing story of pirates? This de-
lightful book tells about pirates from
the days of Charles v to the pres
ent time, about the corsairs of the
Mediterranean, the buccaneers of the
Spanish Main, the Ladrones of the
coast of Asia. 1t is in plain. a series
or brief biographies of illustrious fig
ures in the splendid field of piracy.
You read of those two brothers with
great red boards who were born SO OBJ
scurely in the Isle of Lesbos turned
Turk and rose by degrees to be mas
tiers of Africa, high Admirals of the
Porte, and antagonists of the famous
venetian sea captain, Andrea Doria
with whom they divided the empire of
the Mediterranean.
Then you read of how Stephen De-
catur made a beginning of the end of
the Barbary pirates, unworthy heirs
of the red-bearded, hard on three hum
dred years later, when he dashed into
the Harbor of Tripoli and burned the
captured frigate Philadelphia. You
read, too, of the Dutch "Beggars of
the Sea" their Admiral, William de la
Marck, and their doings on the high
seas and among the dikes of Holland
against the Spanish power; also of the
spacious days of good Queen Bess and
the fashionable fad of piracy among
her court gallants, to say nothing
OF tendercy to the same thing among
her hard-headed traders, with some
thing of Granny O'Malley, the famous
lady-pirate of Connaught, "Who car
ried on her depredations without any
excuses of commission or religion.
Her three light galleys, manned by
two hundred rutfian sailors, raided
the coast, and were the terror of every
skipper who dared to sail the west
ern waters. In every desperate fight
Granny came out victorious, and car
ried off rich plumber to her secret
caves"
So of Peter the Great and Peter the
Foolish, that pre-eminently villanous
LOilonOis, and Sir Henry Morgan and
Blackboard, who used to trouble the
Carolinas, and in the northern enc of
them surrendered to the Governor
and pretended to turn honest man, i"
only to fall later into the hands of an

YOUNG AMERICA IN THE HANDS

-
Drama by Arthur w. Sanborn.
Price rs cents. Publishers: James
H. West Co., Boston.
In the opening of the drama the au-
thor represents Young America as a
good-natured and easy-going, but
somewhat impressionable young man
who has lately come into his inheri-
lance, his father, Old America, who
appears to have been an indulgent
parent having passed away in the
Spanish war. Young America has fall
len into moral and political difficulties,
and presents himself in a dubious but
communicative mood:
"Once more, for consolation, III pom
der it out
And tell you all about it, if you'll lis
ten"
1t seems that some time previously he
had become enamored of a captivating
stranger, one Miss Empire, who had
lately arrived in this country from the
Old World. Their marriage was soon
arranged by their mutual friends, but
has not resulted as fortunately as
Young America anticipated His
wife has developed a domineering
temper; her extravaganza has dis
tressed his resources; and finally, in
her haste to obtain a retinue of SER
wants, like her European neigh bors,

Philippines which he half suspects is
not much to his credit. This is the
situation from which the incidents of
the drama are drawn.
The dialogue is often humorous
and the action is dramatic through
out. To those who are interested in
the subject, the play should prove
valuable and vital; and by those who
look to the drama for diversion and
amusement it certainly will he found
entertaining as we'll as clever.

arbitration and The Hague"

An important book Is announced
for Immediate publication by Hough-
ton, Miffin & Co., entitled "Arbitra-
ton and the Hague Court" by the
Hon. John w. Foster, ex-Secretary of
State and author of two books on
American Diplomacy. His. new BOOK
contains brief review of the events
relating to arbitration up to the con-
ence, and a full consideration of the
Hague Permanent Court and the work
which it has already accomplished.
The present triumph of the principle
of arbitration in the reference of the
North Sea Affair between England
and Russia to an international Com
mission of Inquiry as provided for III
the Hague Convention, and the inn
lending action of the American Sem
ate on arbitration treaties. make the
appearance of the present book most
opportune. The work was prepared
at the request of the Mohonk Arbi-
tration Conference.
II has often been said that the best
literary secret ever kept in America
was entirely in the hands of a woman,
namely, the authorship of the books
appearing with the name of Sake Holm
on the title page. In his "Autobiog-
raphy'' Mr.. Moncure 3. Conway now
prints for the first time letter from
! Mrs. Helen Hunt distinctly avowing
her authorship. apd saying frankly:

Rich Ores.

In. the office of Doctor w. F. CherF yeth there are on exhibition samr rles of ores from the "Provi- denda." "Dormido" and other mines in the "Dormido" group, of which mention was made in the "Wayside Notes" of TIE OASIS editor, written from Cerro Prieto, early in December The properties whence came these ores are but seven miles eastward from Cerro PrHto, and bid fair to make a greater and more richly productive mipe than the Cerro Prieto. The or& are high grade free milling gold rock, the richness of which is risible to the naked eye. Native gold stands out all over the rock, which is fairly studded with points of the pure yellow metal as large as pinheads, and some of them even larger. The properties in- clude a great area of ground, with several large lodges, yielding that kind of rock running through them. They are in the very heart of a very rich mineral district, characterized by Professor Robert L. Hill. formerly of the United States Geological Survey, as lone of the greatest gold regions on the lcontinent. With so great a show ing in a region of that description, the Chenoweths have doubtless 'bonanzo."

From the en- trance to the old works above the ledge continues on over the hill and is included in the denounce. ment of the owners a distance of 1000 metros. From the tunnel level there is every indication that a drift run to the southwest along the ledge will develop large body of ores equal to anything ever extracted. The Marina" is

 which judging by its past record and all indications, will pay very handsomely to operate in that way. The ores least in value run above one hundred ounces per ton, and the richest ores are very valu- able Two samples extracted by gambusinos ran 5000 ounces silver, and F ounces gold, per ton. To prevent robbing the mine of ores so rich was the cause for pulling the ladders. As the railroad at Poza station is but thirty miles away the question of transporta- tion would be of not much conse- quence, but if it were decided to reduce the rock at the mine or in the vicinity, there is every facility for doing so. There is an abund- ance of cheap fuel, and at the San Miguel river. only half mile away, there is an unfailing supply of water, sufficient to run a quartz mill of the very largest size. I With ores so rich, in a forma- tion so permanent, and so many advantaee ping to assure cheap and economical operation the Marina" has surely the making of 8 great mine and our fellow towns men are to be congratulated in having secured 1t. Responsible parties are now negotiating for purchase of the property, and if they do not come to terms, the owners will shortly proceed to work it for their own account.
