ceeded east.
MI. Clark Is returning from a trip to
ene Wood river country in Idaho.
where he has been enjoying an outing
o the past Is days.
During his brief stay here Mr.. Clark
pook occasion to look over the city. In
company with Mr.. Bancroft he stepped
into Settele's drug store and appeared
greatly surprised at the exhibit of
placer gold from Douglas creek and
our other collaborating fields. You
people have gold in this country but
uhis is the first time | nave seen any
ohing like this" he remarked. In fact
ohe other officials who accompanied
Mr.. Clark appeared to be surprised to
hearn that the big nuggets displayed
mad been found near Laramie.
Speaking about the affairs OF the
Union Pacific, Mr.. Clark said: The
road today is in better condition to do
business than at any time in its his
tory. From one end to the other | find
the roadbed. power and the general
equipments in the best of condition.
Business is not so rushing as could
he desired but is fully as good if not
better than last year at this time"
Asked about the future outlook. Mr..
Clark said it was not bright. The COM

certain and it was a difficult matter to
give any forecast as to what the next
few months would show.
Mr.. Clark appears to be enjoying
better health than for many months.
