and obtained the consent of the interior
department and the bureau of Indian af-
fairs for himself and others to visit the
Indian reservations of Colorado, Utah,
New Mexico and Arizona for the purpose
of collecting Indian relics for the western
Colorado academy of science at Grand
Junction. The commissioner requires that
the explorers first report their presence to
the agency of the reservation, and take
care to fully explain their mission to the
Indians, and adds: "For the protection
of yourself and friends deem it proper to
suggest that l think it might be dangerous
for your party to make Investigations, es-
pecially upon the Navajo reservation,
unless the Indians first fully understand
your purposes"
The purpose of the last sentence quot
ed is to warn the explorers especially
against the Navajos who are very jealous
of prospectors. There is very generally
accepted belief, it seems, prevailing among
western miners that there are rich miner
al districts in the limits of the Navajo re-
servation and many efforts have been
made to lacate the mines. The Indians
fully appreciate that if these mines are
ever found they will be forced off the re-
servation. Hence they do not tolerate

BALTIMORE, Md, July 3O.-The state
Democratic convention opened here to-
day with full representation Of enthu-
siastic delegates. Candidates for gov
ernor, comptroller, attorney general and
clerk of the court Of appeals are to be
selected. The secretary of state, state
treasurer, police commissioners and other
officers will be chosen by the legislature
The ante-convention campaign has been
decidedly lively one. The city districts
have been in favor CT James Hodges, ex-
mayor and one of the merchant princes of
Baltimore, tor the nomination for governor.
Hodges was also Senator Gorman's choice
and the latter exerted all his power as the
head of the Democratic machine to IN
duce the country districts to rally to
Hodges support. The Farmers Alliance,
however, was too strong for him that Or
ganization was determined upon the nomi-
nation of Frank Brown, ex-postmaster of
this city, and finally Senator German was
compelled to promise to keep his hands
off and exert no influence whatever in
behalf of any candidate. As result
Brown has been indorsed by every county
outside the city.
