"The Senate will be in order, ~
exclaimed president protein Frye
for the second time in his sharpest
tones, accompanying the words with
a second resounding thwack with his
ivory gavel. But the Senator from
Pennsylvania (Senator Quay could
be heard in those thin, piping tones,
alternating in an earnest dialogue
with the aggressive, penetrating
voice of the senator from Rhode
Island, Mr.. Aldrioh, who has been
designated as the "Boss of the
United States" The two senators,
their backs turned to the presiding
officer were oblivious of the repri-
mand. Mr.. Frye repeated the warn
ing again then again, but without
effect. At last the wheels Of legis-
lations stopped entirely. A dead
silence reigned in the Senate cham
Der, broken only by the absorbing
con versation of the republican leader
of the Senate and the republican
leader of Pennsylvania. Finally
MIR. Aldrich looked around and the
rolloquy ceased with great abrupt
ness.

NEW GOLD DISCOVERIES
New ti Dorado Canyon Seventy five Miles
 Northwest Of kinsman

From Eldorado Canyon, in south eastern Nevada, twenty-five miles northwest of Kingman, come stories of the fabulous richness of a find of gold ore. The lead is situated in the mountains, ten miles from the Colo rado river and short distance from the Techaticup. one of the oldest mines in the camp. A large quantity of the ore has been taken out and samples from this show its value to be about $30,000 in gold to the ton. The dis coverers have located two claims on the lode and are working vigorously on the original discovery. The whole surrounding country is aroused and men are rushing to the camp with every possible conveyance and in few weeks the hills will be alive with prospectors. The ore from the new find is similar to that of the Gold Road, but the gold is massive and laces the rock together.
 Eldorado Canyon, the scene of this late excitement, is one of the oldest mining camps in the state of Nevada, the discovery of it's mines dating back to 1884, when that section of country was part of Dona Ana county, New Mexico, and afterward part of Mo- have county, with the seat of county government at Callville, at the mouth of the Vegas wash. At one time the camp was one of the busiest and most prosperous of Nev ada's mining camps, two big mills being kept in operation and several hundred men being em- ployed in the mines. At that time the principal ores of the camp carried high values in silver, and when that metal became a commodity and de- preciated in value the mines were then closed and the mills were silent. Chloriders and miners mined in des- ultory way the past fifteen years and kept spark of life in the old camp. Now comes the news of this new rich strike and under it's revivifying in- fluence Eldorado Canyon will become one of the greatest mining camps on the coast.-Kingman Miner

The NEGRO DIALECT.
Some Comments on Paul Laurence
Dunhnr,s Efforts 10 sustnin IL

Some Comments on Paul Laurence
Dunbar's Efforts 10 sustain Ii.
"As a rule the negro who has grown
out of the dialect Of his race makes an
extremely poor showing in an effort to
mimic the negro's talk" said an OBJ
servant man. "and his efforts to write
it are even more pronounced failures.
But Paul Laurence Dunbar. the negro
poet, has written at least one thing in
which lie sustained the dialect of his
race. In the Death Song Dunbar got
closer TO the talk and tie nature of the
negro than in any other effort. 1t is
worth recalling, SO here it is:
Lay me down beneaf de willers in de

''You will observe here that he shows
the negro's strong devotion to the H.
and it is interesting because of the
tendency on the part of writer's of ne
gro dialect to force the i out by the
substitution of "a Dunbar's use of Ts'
for the improper 1 is is genuine. Most
negro dialect writer's Of today would
write it Abs for they nearly always
use All for T. So he shows the same
preference for i in the lines

showing the negrO's devotion to the

'gwin to- for the negro. as a rule. will
make one word out of the phrase, Civ
ing it more the sound of 'gwinter' But,
on the whole, the dialect is good and
is well sustained" = New Orleans
