We are informed that some To-
nopah and Goldfield parties have
taken an option on Kinds Hot
Springs in Smith Valley tor 500
600, including the ranch, cattle,
horses and all Improvements on
the place. If the deal goes through
the Springs will be transformed
into one of the finest bathing re-
sorts in the State. The water is
excellent for medicinal purposes,
and if the place was fixed up so
as to accommodate guests great
many people would visit the place
and it would prove a source Of
much revenue to the owners. The
Springs are only few miles from
the new camp of Buckskin and in
all probability, if that camp proves
a good one, many mining men
would make their homes at the
Springs and thereby build up
quite little village.

The Ramsey Trouble

For week or two past there
have been rumors of all kinds of
trouble at the new camp of Ram
sey. 1t was reported that several
gun plays were made to hold a
piece of ground in dispute, but
nobody was hurt. The trouble
has finally resolved itself into the
courts, and on Tuesday of this
week L. A. Karr brought suit
against Messrs. Wayne and Clark
asking for an injunction restrain
ing them from interfering with
plaintiff in taking possession of
the ground. Mr.. Karr claims the
claims belong to him by agree
ment with the original locators,
and that Clark jumped them.
Clark sold the claims, which are
considered valuable, to Wayne. 1t
is possible that temporary in
junction suit will be granted Karr
to allow him to do his holding
work, when the ownership ques-
ton will be threshed out in the
courts.

Good Pinenut Prospects.

F. ]. Pate was in town this week
from Sunrise district, in the Pine
nut range, and gives good accounts
of that section. G. c. Matthews,
the California gentleman who Mr..
Pate interested in the district some
months ago, and who has taken
bond on nine claims owned by
Collier and Perkins, and also five
claims owned by Mr.. Pate, has six
men now employed on develop
ment work on the properties. A
tunnel is being run on both the
Denver and Baltimore claims of
the Collier group and shaft is
being sunk on the Porcupine claim
of the Pate group. The tunnels
are being run to tap very promis-
ing surface lodges and the shaft
on the Porcupine is going down
on a 81 foot ledge which gives
average assays of SGT per ton.
All of these claims lie just this
side of the Eldorado Canyon sum-
NIT. In the gulch below the Den
yer claim placer gold to the value
of $257 was taken out this Spring
while the snow water lasted. The
gold brought $Io.o8 per ounce.

The Des Moines Convention.

1t is evident from the newspaper
comments that many people expect
something definite to come from the
meeting of the interstate senatorial
MoineS. Iowa, this week. Delegates
from 30 of the states are gathering
there with the avowed purpose OF find
ing ways and means for constitution
al amendment which will provide for
the popular election of United States
senator's. None of the New England
and few of the eastern states are repre-
scented, but the states of the West and
South are nearly all represented, and
in many instances they are very much
III earnest in this matter.
The movement for the popular cleo
ton of United States senators instead
Of their choice by state legislatures as
provided by the constitution is not an
old one, but it has gained much
strength since it started. 1t is said
that the movement had its origin in
PENNSYLVANIA, whose legislature APP
pointcd a committee about 10 years ago
to confer with the legislatures of other
states on the matter. Since this be-
ginning no fewer than 20 legislatures
have appealed to Congress for con-
stitutional convention with this
change in view. 1t requires the APP
plication of the legislatures of two
thirds of the states before it becomes a
duty of Congress to call convention
to propose changes in the constitution.
PENNSYLVANIA. by the way, where this
movement started is not represented at
the Dcs Moines convention and New
HAMPSHIRE is another state not repre-
scented which has sent a memorial to
Congress on this subject. To all in
tents and purposes the method of elect
ing United States senators by popular
vote already prevails in over dozen
states. but of course the existing meth
cd of getting around the constitution is
not wholly satisfactory to them.

Peary's Faithful COMPANION.

In all the praise which has been Civ
en- Commander Peary for his great per-
Torrance ill pushing nearer to the pole
than ever man went before scant men,
tion has been made of the man who ac-
comranied the explorer and who was
the only one with him when he reached
81 degrees and minutes which marks
the point farthest North. This man
was Matthew a.. Henson, a negro, who
was not only with Peary on this ex-
petition but who has been his com
panion and personal servant on his
earlier dashes into the vast and frozen
solitude of the North. Failure to
mention thiS-brave and hardy colored
on the part OF Commander Peary to de-
prive him of his share of the credit
for those who heard Peary's lectures
before this latest expedition recall the
generous praise which he bestowed
upon Henson for his fidelity, his physi-
cal endurance, and his intelligent as
ing was Peary to share the glory Of
this latest achievement with his col
ored companion that in the note which
was left in bottle at the farthest
point reached Henson's name was
which reposes on the ice within about
200 miles of the pole reads as follows:

reached this point via polar ice from
Camp Hecla. We have Travelled $40
miles.
Whoever finds this paper is requested
to forward it to the secretary of the
navy. Washington, D. c.. with note
of time and place at which it was
found. or, if more convenient, to deliv-
er it for that purpose to the United
States consul at the nearest point.
1t remains to be seen whether
Peary himself will be the man to re-
claim this note. Nansen and other
Arctic authorities predict that the
American will be the one ultimately to
reach the coveted goal. In the mean
time the note remains a souvenir we'll
worth trying for and no doubt if Peary
makes another dash for the pole the
faithful Henson will be at his side.

during that time no single individual

Then she retired TO private life, but she

and last year ran as an Independent

not enough to elect her. This year she
is again an Independent candidate.

many are predicting that she will win
back her old place on the board. The

It is certainly great scheme. Such a

of such a plan would be that the spec

The Automobile.

At the national automobile exhibition
in New York this week some interest
ing figures were brought out showing
the great and growing popularity OF
motor vehicles in this country. There
were displayed, for instance. 24 ma
chimes of different types representing
selling price Of over si,000,000. 1t is
stated that the orders received by the
90 leading American manufacturers for
1907 number A.. 900 which is an increase
of 10 900 over the output for the present
wear. These figures indicate the
great hold which the automobile has
gained upon the American public fer
of course to these figures must also lie
added the thousands Of foreign ma
Chimes which will be imported by
American buyers during the coming
year.
Most of the American manufacturers.
it is declared, have more orders than
they can possibly meet, every machine
being sold which can be constructed
during the entire year to come. The
automobile which was summer toy
| for the rich only few years ago is row
becoming an important factor in our
| national life While prices are much
, lower than they used to be the auto
mobile is hardly yet down to a figure
