HAMILTON SILVER LEAGUE
Sends Delegates to the Reno Silver
Convention.

Convention.
ED. NEWS: By order of the citi-
zens. miners and members of White
Pine District Silver League, a meet
ing was called at Pramenko's Hall,
Monday evening, June Goth, at 1880,
for the purpose of electing three dele
gates to the State Silver Convention
to be held in Reno on June Oath.
Eberhardt, Treasure Hill, Hamil-
ten, White Pine Mountain and Swan
sea were all represented.
Jos. Grandelmyer called the meet
ing to order and was elected Chair
man, with G. A. Mathewson as Sec
rotary. Louis LAM, Frank Paul and
JOS Grandelmyer were elected dele
gates, with instructions to send their
proxies to Hon. Thos. Wren, provid-
ed no delegate from White Pin county
was at the Reno Convention.
The following resolution was adopt
cd unanimously:
Resolved, That it is the wish and
request of this meeting, begging Con-
gress and the Senate to repeal the
Sherman Act that demonetized silver
Feb. IL, 1873, which President Grant
signed without knowing he was ap-
proving an act that demonetized sill
yer. The Speaker of the House did
not know it. 1t is not certain that
any member of the House, except Mr..
Hooper of Massachusetts and one or
two others of the committee, knew
that it demonetized silver; and it is
pretty well stated that no one in the
Senate but Sherman, who had charge
of the bill in that body, knew that the
act changed the money standard of the
United States from gold and silver to
gold alone. The act was undoubtedly
foreign device from Lombard street,
and whatever London advises Wall
street accepts, and Congress, when it
relates to finance, usually carries out.
But whoeveris responsible for the act,
it was fraud upon the people-an act
which at one stroke increased public
debt and changed every contract in
volving the payment of money in the
United States. It was an act that nc
more admits of justification than
spoilation OF piracy. Somebody ought
to be held responsible. Mr.. Sherman
of Ohio, Director Linderman, and
John Jay of New York, seem thus
far to be the only ones who just know
what was going on in Congress. Were
the representatives Of the people dupes
of cunning, far-seeing spectators, OF
did they themselves comprehend the
true economic significance of the plum
dering scheme they foisted on the
country? If SO, we ask silver remon-
etized. Give us the bimetallic stand
ard, established a hundred years ago
under Washington, Hamilton and
Jefferson. For twenty years the wealth
created by one class has been stealth
lily appropriated by another, and for
twenty years this has been going on,
and yet Congress which pledged the
people to remedy the wrong, hesitates
and pauses as if hypnotized by the
hand of gold. Therefore, we beg
members of Congress and Senators
and Legislatures of all the States who
favor the restoration of the bimetallic
standard and the free coinage of silver
on the same terms as gold to use their
endeavors to accomplish this end. By
order of White Pine District Silver
League. Jos. GRANDFATHER,
Chairman.

ROBINSON DISTRICT

Gold Mines to the Front-ReaI Estate
Advancing In Ely Based on the
Prospects of Big Mining sale
The Mines Are Good.
Bro. Cassidy, in the last issue of the
Sentinel, gives this camp and town
this friendly send-off: "The residents
of Ely feel happy just now, being IN
spired with hopes that the visit OF
Messrs. Gibson and Eckerley will re-
suit in great and permanent benefit to
that town. These gentlemen are men
of means and great experience in min
ing, and the fact of their having SO
fully examined the mines in that local
ity and bonded the chairman and
Joanna claims for large amount, Is
evidence that the people there are
not single in the belief that the mines
are undoubtedly good. The Chairman
and Joanna it is now so confidently be-
lieved will change hands, that real
estate since two months ago has adj
vanced 100 per cent. Matters that
have heretofore stood in the way of
the Joanna sale are now arranged SO
as not to affect the present pending
negotiations. The Joanna few months
ago was thought to be the "bonanza "
of the district, but the chairman is
now said to be con top" or in other
words the most valuable mine Of the
two. Both of them are essentially
gold mines, although the Chairman
carries a little more or less silver.
The Chairman is owned by Messrs.
Uunderhill, Lyons, McOmie and Nc
Gill. They have obtained battery SAM
pies of from $40 to $50 per ton in
gold and practically demonstrated that,
by the cyanide process, they can save
over 90 per cent. of the gold product.
The Chairman and Joanna mines are
situated nearly parallel and adjoining
each other on the southeastern hillside
of Robinson Canyon, the latter being
situated at the base of the hill and the
former higher up. Porphyry rocks
form the hanging wall of the one and
the foot wall of the other, but the
veins are separated by reef of lime
stone. If the gentlemen who have
bonded these mines conclude to pur-
chase them they will put up an extern
sive milling plant below the town OF
Ely, where the water from Murray
Creek can be used with a fall of 125
feet. An electric tramway will be
built between the mines and mill. A
Pelton wheel will be put in at the mill
to run dynamo and generate cleo
tricity sufficient to operate the tram
way and light the mines, mill, tram
way and the town. It is quite evident
from all that has been learned through
the developments of the past two or
three years that Robinson District, in
addition to silver, copper and lead
mines, has gold belt of extraordin-
airy value, and we hope the negotia-
tions now pending as above stated will
be successful.

A Narrow Escape.

Mr.. and Mrs. E. G. Mcclellan and
Philip Triplett of Elko, had a very
narrow escape from drowning in the
Humboldt river June 9th. They
started down the river in a boat for
the South Fork of the Humboldt.
The party proceeded down the river
in safety till they came to the iron
bridge when they discovered that
someone had stretched strand of
barb wire under the bridge and sever
al inches above the water. The gen.
tlemen passed in under by holding the
wire above them. The barbs on the
wire became fastened in Mrs. McCel-
lan's dress and the boat capsized in the
deepest and most dangerous part of the
river. Mr.. Triplett being closest to
Mrs. Mcclellan started to swim ashore
with her, but the river was running SO
swift he could not make it and return
ed to the boat, Mr.. Clellan and his
wife held on to the boat until it drift
ed close to the shore when with the
assistance of Triplett the lady was
landed safely on terra frma. Twice
the boat turned over and knocked
Mrs. Mcclellan under the water when
her husband would seize and hold her.
The parties were none the worse for
their adventure except Mrs. Mcclellan
who was bruised where struck by the
boat. Austin Peoples Cause.
