Professor winrrey to Select HI.
Assistant.
The Winnemucca Silver State of June
90 contained the following compliment
tary reference to the Eureka school and
it's new principal:
Principal Winfrey Of the Winnemuc'
CO school today received official notitca-
tion from the Eureka Board Of Trustees
that be had been elected Principal OF
the school at that place for the next
term. Coupled with the notification
Mr.. Winfrey was informed that he
would have the naming Of the vice.
principal. who will be directly associated
with him in the work of the High School.
Allowing Mr.. Winfrsy to name his chief
assistant Is an unusual concession, and
amounts to high appreciation Of his judg.
mens and ability as an educator.
"The Eureka school is one Of the best
in the State. and the prinoipalship is q
very desirable position. In electing Mr..
Winfrey the Eureka Trustees have
secured for their school q teacher who
has no superior in the State, and one
who will give them the fullest satisfac.
tion, as he has in Winnemucos during
the eleven years he has conducted the
schools Of this place."

BRYAN and STEVENSON
This is the Ticket Nominated
by the Democrats at Kan
sas City.
HILL DECLINED TIE NOMINATION.
Demand for Free Coinage OF
Silver at the Ratio of
16 to |.

Especial Dispatch to the SESrISEL.l
The Democratic National Conven-
ton at Kansas City on July 5, NOM
mated VIM. J. Bryan of Nebraska
for President, the nomination being
made by reclamation.
On Friday, the 9th, the Conven-
ton on the first ballot nominated
Adlai E. Stevenson of Illinois for
Vice. President. Mr.. Stevenson was
elected Vice-P President of the United
States in 1892 and filled the Office
with honor until CARAT A. Hobart
succeeded him in 1897.
The fact that Grover Cleveland
was associated with Mr.. Stevenson
on the ticket is no discredit to the
latter and he is in no way response
BILE for the ~peridious conduct of his
superior.
A special dispatch to the SENTINEL
announces that the Committee on
resolutions by a vote Of 26 to "a
favored a special declaration in favor
of the free coinage of silver at the
ratio of 16 to l. The plank agreed
upon is as follows:
1--WE r~eiterate the demand of The
platform OF 1896 for an American
financial system made by the Amer
lean people for themselves, which
shall restore and maintain a bimet-
allie price level, and as part of tina
system, the immediate restoration o
the free and unlimited coinage o
silver and gold at the present lega
ratio of 16 to l without waiting TO
the aid or consent of any other Ma
tion."
The members of the California ant
Utah delegations voted with tn
minority.
The Silver Republican Convention
in session at Kansas City, nominate'
Bryan by reclamation, and then aa
;ourned that all its delegates nigh
go to the Democratic Convention
and work for Towne for Vice Fresi
dent. A stampede was attempted il
favor of Hill, but he took the plat
form and stated that for personal an
other reasons he would not accep
the nomination.

Selling Price for This Week IL
Fixed at s4.IOk.

Fixed at f.1OA.
Although the lead market has de-
veloped considerable weakness during
the past few days, the American
Smelling and Refining Company fixed
the price for this weeks settlements
at $4.10k, being an advance Of "A
cents over last weeks quotations.
There is scarcely q doubt that within
the next few days this will be still
further advanced to the $4.129 mark,
the price guaranteed in the contract
between the smelter combine and the
leading ore producers of the country,
which, as is evident by the advance,
has been generally signed by the heav-
lest shippers.
In commenting on the lead situation
the Salt Lake Herald says:
"The advance did not come as q
surprise to local producers; it was n
ticipated, which was evidenced by the
tone OF lead stocks towards the close
Of last week. There were some who
thought that the trust might possibly
make this weeks settlements on a ba-
sis of s4.12h, the stipulated price,
talked about so much lately, which the
trust is willing to pay the producers
providing they enter into the compact
to modify the conditions of all existing
contracts between them, and agree to
deliver their ore 10 the trust smelters
for a year at that price, with the privi-
lege of Withdrawing at the end of six
months time.
Manager T. X, Jones would not
discuss the lead situation yesterday,
and would say nothing further than
that the settling price this week
would be A cents in advance OF last
weeks figures, but he intimated that
there might be something to divulge
to the public a few days later.
at is quite evident from the turn
things have taken that the trust mas
succeeded in doing what it started out
to do, to compel the ore producers
to agree to the plan submitted
to them a few weeks ago. and which
was responded to sc generously by the
Utah mine owners. The Missourians,
it is said, are getting well in line, so it
seems that the trust will soon %inaugu-
rate its standard price for the product
OF lead mines. The consumer will then
be forced to pay such a price that the
trust will not lose anything when it
comes to buying up the surplus prod.
uct and sometimes disposiDg of it at
less than cost.
"The advance in lead yesterday
lent good tone to the lead stocks, and
brokers are hopeful Of some good ad-
vances in them"

DECISION

supreme Cours Passes Upon h
Last Chance vs.. Comanche case.
The decision OF Judge Talbot Of the
District Court Of White Pine county in
the case Of Gus Simon ct al. VS.. VIM.
Watson ct al, better knewn, perhaps.
as the Last Chance vs.. the Comanche
mine at Hamilton, was reversed by
the State Supreme Court last week,
and will come up for a re-trial at the
next term OF the District Court at Ely.
The case in controversy grew out OF
the ownership Of thirty-two tons OF ore
taken from disputed ground, and in
rendering the decision the Supreme
Court says:
at is admitted that to have entitled
them to the verdict IL was incumbent
upon them to have established the fact
by the testimony.
"Mr. Roberts, one Of the plaintiffs,
was the only witness who testified in
their behalf in this respect. In his
testimony in chief he said that the ore
was taken out Of the Last Chance mine
in the year 1897, but upon being re
called and shown a diagram OF Com.
snche mine as surveyed by Mr.. Pardy
October 18th, 1898, testified that the
ore in dispute was taken from thai
part of the ground which is repre-
scented on this map by the word 'ore
written in pencil. just west OF the eas'
side line of the Comanche.
considering the testimony as @
whole it was contrary to the verdict
rendered and the judgment must bt
reversed and cause remanded for
new trial."
