There has been an amicable set

AGAINST BRANCH
COUNTY JAIL
ASSEMBLYMAN SCOTT INTRO
DUCES ASSEMBLY BILL
Provides for Repeating Of Law Estab-
fishing Branch County Jail at
LovelOck.

Assemblyman Scott has introduced
a bill in the legislature calculated to
do away with the branch county jail
at Lovelock and providing that all
Lovelock prisoners shall be confined
in the county jail at Winnemucca.
The present law in reference to the
branch county Jail at Lovtlock was
passed in 1901 and provided that all
county prisoners not of dangerous
character, and not a menace to the
public safety, and who were convict
ed of offenses committed at Lovelock
should be confined there.
The bill was framed as an economy
measure for the county.
A large number of pettey offenses
are committed in Lovelock and the
expense of bringing these prisoners to
the county seat is heavy. For this
reason bill was passed i'm 1901 to
provide for the keeping of prisoners
for such offenses at Lovelock. The
good that is to come from the bill pre-
sented by Assemblyman Scott is not
known here and it is believed that the
bill should be defeated.
Justice Fits of Lovelock, it is stat
ed by local officials, has often brought
to the county seat prisoners who
rsghtfully should be confined at Love-
lock, and for that reason his bills for
bringing them here have been reduc-
ed or rejected by the commissioners.

and attorney general. Tie power of re-
moval is vested in the governor. Ex-
eerpts from the r,eeasurc will be found

The bill was ref erred to the railroad
committee in the assembly and will
probably be reported soon.
In connection with the railroad bill
resolution aimed at lobbying was
introduced in the assembly this morn
ing making it cr;ma for any hired
lobbyist to attempt to influence the
vote of any members within the cap:-
tol.
One interesting feature of today has
been the receipt of anonymous letters
by many Of the legislators, in which
an attack on the suggestion of an or
ganization of state militia has been
made. The letters severely criticize
Governor Sparks. The anonymous
communications claim that he has de-
parted from statements that he made
during the campaign.
To these letters tho governor has
made a stinging reply, which he has
sent to the president of the Miners
union in Goldfisll The governor do
nouncts the writer as I. coward and a
scoundrel, and offers 800 from his
own pocket for information as to the
authos's identity. The governor says
he ia now and at AZ times has been op-
posed to state militia, bel ewing thai
the local author. ices are competent
to handle any situation that may
arise. The letters have created quite
stir among the legislators.
Senator Boyd, who is the author of
the bill, made the statemtnt last night
that can be taken as the sentiment Of
all concerned. He said: "The eau.
eus held was Democratic, but tht
thing cons dered is neither Democrat
ic nor Republican. it is Simply fight

brated the Fourth, but 1907 will be
celebrated in manner that will make
up for the years that have been
skipped. 1t is proposed to supply the

THE Clifton MorencI mining dis
the past few years, seems to have
taken on a new era and is now at
tracing the attention of outside cap
ital. Ever since the Shannon COM
ing interest in the camp has grown
until now it seems as though there
will be several big companies in the
district. The Arizona Copper COM
pany has always made magnificent
showings and the New England and
Clifton company has also done well
during the past year or more. In adj
dition to the companies named there
are number of smaller ones which
have operated in a small way, the
most of them shipping their ores to
the Shannon shelters. The Standard,
which has been in operation num-
Der of years and is pretty generally
known throughout mining circles, is
shipping to the Detroit company at
Morenci. With the admission of the
Amalgamated company, which is
starting stronger financially than any
of the other large companies, means
that this district is now on the eve
of prosperity and will witness much
activity in the way of copper produc-
ton. There is now every reason to
believe that the Clifton-Morenci dis
trict will advance to the position
which it justly deserves.

IT IS understood that the board OF
supervisors of Graham county would
consider the building of a large and
substantial Jail in Clifton if a suitable

to erect good Jail in Clifton in
which could be kept number of
prisoners serving short terms, who
could be worked on the county roads.

curing the ground. Something GER
tainly ought to be done.
