G. S. Nixon, Esq, President Hum
boldt County Silver League, Winnie
mucca, Nevada--Dear Sir: As the
committee appointed by You to solicit
subscriptions TO the fund for the pay
ment Of Humboldt county's delegates
expenses to the silver convention at
Chicago August lst from this district
| am pleased to hand you herewith
check for 1925 90, representing every
man except two working for this COM
pany at mine and mill, and when you
consider that 33 men, some of whom
have not yet worked full month, re-
spond SO quickly and freely to your
call you can readily realize the noble
character of those who are SO for
tunate as to have a position as these
depressed times in mining. To say /
am proud of little Central district
but half expresses it, and you can
readily realize the noble character of
the sturdy few who reside here. The
remarks of some OF these men deserve
recording:
Uncle Jimmy Lathlean of Union
vile said, eff was operating mine
and any man so far forgot his duty to
the thousands of starving miners
families as to refuse to subscribe to
this cause I'd discharge him in two
minutes.
The old veteran, Charley Wright,
as | was starting to 90, ran out on
the dunn and yelled out, Say,
Dunn. make that subscription of
mine ten dollars instead of five, and
tell Geo. Nixon if he knows who to
send to for subscription to the sill
yer paper published in Chicago |
want it for a year.
VIM. Pooley said, ''I'll go dry for
80 days, put me down for ten"
Jack Nelson in his short speech
said, boys, ! look upon this move
as the preliminaries to the great fight
to come. Let us az true American
citizens fight honorahly for the rights
OF not only the miner but all produc-
ers in our common country. II then
we cannot succeed let US turn our
hardy muscles to the musket, as the
present condition of our brother bor-
ers is little better than the slaves of
the South were in '61."
Ed. Tippits said, Dunn, old boy,
you're the same old Dunn of Lander,
I'm with you"
Albert Knapp said, "Set down
your own figures and come again
when duty calls. The boys here are
not Chinamen-they are Americans,
true to the interest of the greatest
number and true to old Humboldt
county, Nevada
Dick Thomas said, Although /
have just buried a child and had sick
ness in my family for six months we
will eat less pie at our honse and
stand in to help the condition of
other miners families"
Alex Prescott, our chief mill man,
said, although / am too old to pay
poll tax I'm not too old to subscribe to
this fund"
Steve Thomas hit the mark well
when he said, "Boys, as our earnings,
together with the cowboys and farm
ers, supports every business house in
this county, let's watch the papers
and see what houses remember their
own interest is ours. They should
help us in this our fight for life"
James Thomas Clipped in by saying,
Eyes, and the professional man be-
longs to the list. A little boycott in
times like this is beneficial.
Old reliable Peter Rask said, "I'll
put an extra ton of ore on each load
and haul it to benefit old Humboldt
county"
Alex Wise in broken English stam-
mered out, "Pefore this | was q Re-
publican, but / thinks mine mules can
