A GOOD RESOLUTION.

The Committee on Resolutions in the
County Convention adopted a wise
course last Saturday by inserting a
plank in the platform to the effect that
it favored a re.modeling of the State
Constitution by Legislative enactment.
The idea entertained by few that a
Constitutional Convention is needed to
make what changes are Necessary, is
wrong one. There are numerous rea-
sons why a Constitutional Convention
would not be of any benefit to the peo-
pie of Nevada and also many reasons
why it would be detriment. The i'm
preston that it would be a stroke Of
economy is erroneous, as it would in all
probability cost the State from 500, 600
to 800, 900. Another point to be look
ed at is the fact that it will be impossi-
BILE for any body Of men to frame a
Constitution that will exactly meet the
appreciation of the several classes in
the several different localities Of the
State; and unless all can be satisfied,
the probability is, that the undertaking
would end in defeat, as some element
would be SO opposed to measures of
another class which differed widely
from it, that the effect would be the
overthrowing of the whole. By Legis-
lalive amendment single amendment
can be voted on and thereby saving Of
time and money had.

A POLITICAL PLOT.

The San FyaHtisedn of last Saturday
accuses Mr.. Wren, of Eureka, Of being
willing to back with money Democrat
20 make fight against Senator Jones.
1t is also stated that Jones is dickering
with Democrats, the price Of their
friendship to be the electoral votes Of
the State. which he thinks he has influ.
ence enough to throw for Cleveland.
There may be such a scheme Of this
kind in operation, but the fact that C.
c. Stevenson is reported by the same
paper to have aspirations for the Office
OF U. S. Senator leads US to think that
there is nothing in it. II was reported
some months ago that Mr.. Stevenson
was anxious 10 secure the Senatorship,
but Of late nothing has been
said or done that would lead anyone to
infer that he contemplated making any
such move. Mr.. Stevenson it is known
is man of considerable wealth, ambi-
tious and perfectly capable of filling
the position, but the question is, does
he want the honor bad enough to make
the fight against Jones? Should it come
to light that Jones and Wren are max
ing combinations with the Democrats
as stated in the San Francisco paper it
will injure them considerably.

The Belknap Townsite Trouble.

A disintcrested gentleman who is thor
oughly informed in regard to the trouble
between the Bclknap townsite company
and the Northern Pacific informs us that
it arises from the action of the former
rather than the latter. An agreement was
formed between the two that the toWnsitc
company should script the land and give
the Northern Pacific an interest in the prof.
erty. in return for which tllc railroad COM
pany would advertise it and consider ii
the point of debarkation on that road for
passengers to the mines. When the town
site company began to get returns for lots
sold, the Northern Pacific land commits
sioner called upon them for share in the
proceeds according to agreement, but the
townsitc owners absolutely declined to
consider them in rcpudiatetl the con-
tract in fact. Then the Northern Pacific
took its turn ut repudiating, and is now
using all its influence against Belknap.

Reports from the West Side.

ST. Paul telegram: d. X. Ford, gen.
eral claim agent of the Northern Pacific
road, returned to-day from the Pacific
coast, where he has been organizing the
claim department of the road He speaks
in glowing terms of the coast, where he
left fruit trees in blossom. He says there
there is considerable travel to Oregon and
Washington territory by way of San
Francisco, but they are principally sight
seers and tourists. Navigation on Puget
sound is progressing rapidly. A large
steamer called Henry Willard, is nearly
ready to be launched. Just south of
Ainsworth, in Washington territory, an
immense iron bridge with massive stone
pillars, has been constructed across Snake
river. Ford and party were the first to
cross the new structure, which was com,
pleted April %. The snow still lngers
in the mining regions of Idaho. Many
OF the mines have not yet begun opera
tions. A large number of people are out
of employment. The Northern Pacific S
business IN Oregon, Washington, Idaho
and Montana is tremendous Laad is
being taken up rapidly in about equal
in the different territories. At
the small mining towns along the road
building is going on rapidly, while there
is great activity and excitement among
miners. With the country through M on
tana, Dakota and Minnesota the travellers
are especially pleased. He reports the
season well advanced and the outlook
good.

Captain william Clarke. 1ndain Son.

Indedendent: An aged Indian who
was in town yesterday was an object of 10
little interest to those who were in any
way acquainted with his history. His
name is Clarke, and he is a son of the
noted northwestern explorer, Captain Will
liam Clarke (of the Lewis and Clarke ex-
pedition), by Nez Pcrce woman. In
the fall of 1906 Captain Clarke with his
men tried to cross the Lolo Fork, but
failed on account Of the high water. They
then turned back and passed the winter
among the Ncz Perce Indians, Capt.
Clarke taking an Indian wife, whom he
left behind when he moved on in the
spring. The subject of this sketch was
the result of the union. While young his
hair was bright red, which was the color
Of Captain Clarke's. Captain Clarke ac-
knowledged him as his son, and it is un-
derstood that before dying he bequeathed
him some $4,000, which amount was paid
to him through the agency of the govern
ment at various times, in blankets. food,
etc. The Indian son of the distinguished
explorer is below the medium height of
Indians and is now seventy mine years old.
His once auburn locks are now white:
but his form is still erect, his fourscore
years not seeming to weigh upon him as
they would upon white man of that age.
He believes that he is good for twenty
years more of life.

GOLD PROSPECTS.

Something Closely Approaching an Ex-
citement Over Placer Deposits IN this
Immediate Vicinity
A few days ago the ENTERPRISE men,
toned the fact that days work in wash
ing gravel in the river not far from town
had yielded SO in gold dust. Since that
time much attention has been attracted to
that locality and not enly one man but
several have been prospecting in the
ground for the precious deposit. The re-
suits have been even more encouraging as
further prospecting has been done, and it
is now believed by those who are GER
tainly possessed of practical knowledge on
the subject, that placer gold exists within
three miles of Livingston in quantities
that will pay to work. A large number
of persons are out there to-day, either
prospecting or merely looking on, and al
most every gold pan in the town that can
be bought or borrowed has been pressed
into service by eager searcheers after the
yellow metal.

In conversation with r. G.. Simpson,
who will be a leading member of the brass
band to be organized in Livingston, we
learn that it will consist of twelve pieces
ten horns and the two drums. All but
four of the players are now here and
those arc expected here in few days
from jamestown, whence Mr.. Simpson
came few weeks ago. The members of
Prof. Morse's orchestra, who are all good
players on brass, will he in the band,
which will thus comprise in its numbers
fine orchestra. Mr.. Simpson says the
Others who will compose the band are all
practical players and except two
brass pieces, are provided with most
complete set of instruments. AS soon as
they are organized, which will be in
short time, they will give an open air
concert and subsequently benefit ball,
the proceeds of which are to go toward
supplying the needed Instruments and
uniforms for the members. It needless
to refer to the necessity of encouraging
the organization and maintenance of this
band-our citizens will recognize it with
out argument. To the credit of Livings-
ton generally, to the success of celebra-
tions and public gatherings, to the enter
tainment of excursion parties and distin-
guished visitors who in future as in the
past will frequently be in Livingston, a
good brass band will he an addition of the
greatest weight. And this will be good
brass band A band stand should bc
erected in the most public part of town
and room in which to practice should be
provided them-other than this they will
be self-supporting entirely.

Improving the Upper Missouri.

Delegates Maginnis of Montana, and
Raymond of Dakota, together with their
friends from states bordering on the Miss
sourl river, have signed petition which
has been presented to the house and re-
ferred to the committee ON rivers and har-
bors, requesting that $1,45O.OOO be az
propriated for the Improvement of the
Missouri river from its mouth to the head
of navigation in Montana. The delegates
were apprenensiye that the lower portion
Of the river would take most Of this
amount, but they believe that if it is left
to the secretary of war the larger part of
it will be expended upon the upper por-
tion of the river. They hold that this
part of the river is most important in view
Of its extensive commerce, of which 4 large
portion is trilritary to st. Paul. Mr.. Ma
ginnis argued before tile committee that il
the committee would make the appropri-
alton for the whole Missouri river in one
sum, and leave it to the discretion Of the
secretary Of war, he would be satisfied,
but if they divided up the appropriation,
he wanted 100000 for the river above
the Yellowstone, and $10O,o00 for the
Yellowstone l1clow Glcndiye.

GOLD AT SHIELDS RIVER.

This morning it was quietly mentioned
to few gentlemen in town that fine pros
poets of gold had been obtained from
gravel near the mouth of Shields river six
or seven miles below Livingston. This
afternoon those to whom the report had
been brought-and they are practical
miners drove down to make full inves-
tigation and satisfy themselves by actual
inspection as to whether or not there is
gold at that point, and if so, whether it
exists in paying quantities. Their report
will be watched for with interest. The
work of the large number who have gone
up to the ground near the canyon to-day
will also throw much more light ON the
exciting question.

In the front part of the year 1884,
early one morning, as the bright
summer sun, taking Greeley's ad-
vice. had started West, a maiden
of uncertain age ard a shy, girly-
girly kind of look about her, might
have been seen meandering west,
on Main street, in our usually quiet
city.
4 keen observer might also have
noticed, coming east on the same
crowded thoroughfare, the lank
form of a man, with q wild, far
away look in his Qeft) eye, and
who seemed to Sniff whole zephyr

At the corner of Miller avenue
and Main street the parties met,
