the WAR DENSHIP,

No one denies that Col. Laughton
would make al excellent Warden.
Even those who are advocating the
claims of other applicants admit that
he is we'll qualified for the duiiss of
the position. Those to whom his
candidacy is obnoxious are the friends
of other candidates who in making
the best fight possible for their own
side naturally seek for reasons why
the leading candidate in opposition
should not win the prize. None but
the strenuous psrtisans OF his oppo-
nent affect belle. that there would be
any danger in renewing the arrange
ment of past years when tho Lieuten-
ant Governor WAS ex ofiicio Warden
of the State Prison. 1t is simply a
question Of personal friendship and In
terest with all parties to the struggle,
and the most persuasive arguments
which can be found will be used. All
the candidates are competent and
worthy men, and each of them would
ably perform the duties. They all
have a reputation for executive abil-
ity and probity which ensures good
management of the affairs of the pris-
on, no matter who is the successful
man. Such being the case with no
real question, of public policy, or in.
diYidusl fidelity to trust, involved;
and where the State would be well
served under any circumstances the
claims of the several candidates
should be permitted to rest upon alb
solute personal merit and popularity,
and efforts at befcgging the situation
by reference to the misty administrs-
tions of former officers, and the dan
ger of REPETITION should not be con.
sidered Legitimate If the Legislature
makes the Lieutenant Governor ex-
offiicio Warden, the people will take
the qualifications of candidates for
that office into consideration at nom
nations and elections, and men who
are capable of presiding Ia the Senate,
and who are also possessed of great
executive ability will come forward
as candidates. There are plenty of
this class of men who would seek the
honor of the positaon when accom-
panied with a reasonable compensa-
ton for their services, sufficient to
enable them to maintain decently
but without extravaganza the dignity
OF The position. The entrance of this
class Of men into competitinn for
public office will assure to the State
high standard among candidates for
at least one position, and the most
careless observer cannot fail to per
ceive that this will be of benefit to the
people both directly and indirectly.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL CON-
NEMTlOM.

Attorney General Murphy in his
anal report, takes position against q
constitutional convention, and calls
attention to the enormous expense at
tending that process OF amending our
organic law. In addition he gives
many other reasons why an entirely
new constitution should not be adopt
ed among which are the following in
substance: To those who wish for
an alteration In the provision exempt
ing mines from taxation, he points
out and explains why the existing
clause is as perfect provision for the
purpose intended as can be devised,
and that as it can net be improved
any change would bc for the worse.
If q new Constitution was adopted,
an effort, possibly successful, would
be made to exempt the proceeds of
mines from taxation, and in the inter
est of the people this should be
guarded against, as the tax on the
proceeds is about the only revenue
the State receives, most of the stock
in the paying mines being owned by
non. residents
No amendment is needed to give the
Legislature power to enact laws reg.
ulating fares and freights on railroads
IS such power is given by Section I,
Article VIII.
Regarding the question Of foreign
corporations, it has been decided that
any legislature has Alright to regulate
affairs within the boundaries Of its
own State, and no change in the or
gsnic law 10 necessary to enable the
Legislature of Nevada, to make such
provisions relative to the property OF
foreign corporations as may be just
and right.
Unnecessary State and County
Offices, can be abolished much sooner
and more cheaply by means of amend
ments.

The Nevada Nickel Mines.

As the discovery of nickel on this
coast has opened a new field of mining
industry, and one which has every indi-
cation of becoming equal to the Com
stock in richness, the Record Union con-
cluded to gather the facts. In this dis
covery, as in hundreds of other great
finds, these mines have been lying for
years within plain sight of the stage
road where people constantly travel,
without even notice. Many samples of
the ore have been sent to different assay
ers for copper, but none ever took the
trouble to analvze the rock until it was
sent to this city. In 1881 samples of
this ore were sent to Charles Bell for
copper assay. Upon examination it
was found to contain large per cent
of nickel. More of the ore being Sc
cured, it was analysed, proving the
first result. Upon his showing William
S. Bell was sent to discover the loca.
tons and succeeded in finding the rich
est and most valuable nickel property
ever discovered. The discovery being
kept as secret as possible, little was
known as to its extent until recently.
The property is located in the northern
portion of Churchill County, Nevada.
Improperly has been well prospected
and the largest bodies of this mineral
exposed that has been known The
nickel ores of Pennsylvania average
but two per cent. They are reduced
on the ground to fifteen per cent, and
sent to Camden, N. j., where they are
again reduced and the metal extracted.
The nickel found in Oregon has also
been opened, but to what extent can
not be ascerained. Thirty tons of the
Nevada nickel was sent to London,
which graded twenty-nine and one
fourth per cent. These mines are the
only ones yet discovered that carry uni
formly the three distinct characters
viz. Arseniuret, which is grayish me-
tallic red; and arseniate, a beautiful
apple green; and ersenite, having
dark metallic lustre. As developments
progress the former characters are
merged into the latter, caused by non
oxidation. Several samples showed to
reporters have assayed, both by Edwin
Booth, of San Francisco. and Charles
Bell. of this city, siXty-tive and one
half and sixty-six and one-fourth per
cent. being the richest ever discovered
in the world. Sacramento Record
