Ing to the County Gle rks of this State
as candidates of the Silver party of the
following persons:
j. M. Mccormack, j. B. Mccullough,
and H. II. Beck, who are alleged to be
the candidates of said Silver party for
the offices of Presidential Electors as
set forth in an alleged certifica ate OF
nomination filed in the office of the
Secretary of State on September 1e,
1904, aud signed by NJ. 5. Bonnifield,
and Eugene Howell as Secretary of the
Silver Party Convention held at Winnie

II also protests against the certifica-

Eureka County, as the Silver party cam
didate for Congress, pursuant to the al
legged certificate, and signed by Richard
Kirman aud w. L. Virgin, as Chair
man and Secretary respectively of a
committee appointed by said Silver
Convention to fill vacancies, and is also
signed by II. A. Comins and X. Sadler,
as members of said committee. The
protest is based on the following:
That Bonnifield was not either at law
or in fact, the Chairman of the Silver
Party Convention held at Winnemucca.
and that Howell was not the Secretary
of said Convention. That Mccormack,
Mccullough and Beck were not nomi-
mated, either in law or in fact, as Presi :

ventiop,
That Kirman. Virgin, Comins and
Sadler were not a committee to whom
power was delegated by said Silver
Party Convention to fill vacancies in
the list of nominees to be voted for at
the general election and that neither
they, nor Bonnifield or Howell did not
and do not represent the Silver Party
in any capacity whatever and that any
nominations made by any or all of
them are wholly without warrant or
law, and are void.
That the Sadler certificate OF noml-
nation is insufficient in law because it
fails to show that any vacancy existed;
and in failing to show that Howell had
any authority to sign the names OF
Sadler and Comins; hence that the
nomination does not even purport to be
made by a majority of the committee
alleged to have the power to fill the va
cancy, even if it existed.

GRAsPlNG THE OPPORTUNITY.
Circumstances of How Morris Gug-
genheim Became Wealthy.

Accident, or what some are pleased to
call "luck," plays on important part in
the lives and fortunes of men. But we
opine that the secret of success is due
far more often to the art of grasping
opportunities. seizing the time when
the tide in the affairs of men" is at
its flood, and floating on it to fortune.
1t is well known that Morris Guggen-
helm. the father of the Guggenheim
brothers, who are at the head of the
American Smelling and Refining Com
pany, made the nucleus of his immense
fortune in Leadville. but few know the
circumstances which made the poor
merchant O millionaire.
A friend of Guggenheim's named
Charles H. Graham, who is now en-
gagged in mining in Leadville. went to
that camp in 1879, and discovered that
the A. Y. and Minnie prospect was to
be sold and could be bought for $4,000.
Graham had $2500 and made arrange
ments for the remainder of the money
The man owing the second half of the
purchase price lacked sufficient nerve to
make the investment and to Morris
0Tdl1diu tOlu his
Guggenbeim agreed to furnish the
money.
The subsequent history of the mine is
familiar to Coloradoans. To others it
might be stated that the mine proved to
be the richest in the Leadville camp and
while operated by superintendents of
Graham's selection made over $5,000,-
900. Within the past two years the
mine was leased to Guggenheim- Nichol-
SON. -Rodman syndicate and is still pay
ing its owners $4,000 under lease, hav-
been steady producer for "a years.
The vast profits made in its venture
caused Mr.. Guggenheim to abandon his
Eastern business, the building of the
smelling plant at Pueblo followed, and
that $4,000 investment, coupled with
what might be termed extraordinary
business judgment, has resulted in the
accumulation of some $50. 900, 900. Min.

Wild-Eyed Reports of Gold Strikes

Wild-Eyed Reports of Gold Strikes.
While it is generally conceded that
Tonopah and Goldfield are camps wor-
thy of more than passing interest, the
frequency of strikes Of extraordinary
magnitude, immense lodges of gold ore
running higher than anything ever yet
encountered ia mining, save in spots,
cast shadow of suspicion upon the
companies offering shares. 1t is noticed
that the majority of these reports are
published as advertisements by com.
panies, heavily stocked with a share

right under conditions of the kind, but
it does not look so to any one outside of

I and sworn to by s. p. Davis and @. K.
Robins, as Chairman and Secretary re-
spectively of the Silver Party Conven-
tion was filed in the office of the Secre-
tary of State on September 10, 1904,
and shows that A. w. Hesson, Zeb
Kendall and f. w. Clark were nomin-
ated at said Convention as Presidential
Electors and @. ID. Van DuZer was
nominated for Representative i'll Con-
gress, and that there were no vacancies
left to be filled in the list of nominees
for any such offices.
The protest is signed by N. w. Rolf
and Charles f. Burke and is accom-
panied by the affidavits of Rolf, Burke
and 5. p. Davis.
The tenor of the affidavits is that
during the sessions of the Convention
A. w. Hesson, Zeb Kendall and L. w.
Clark were regularly nominated by un-
unanimous vote for Presidential Electors,
and that at no time during the two
days session of the Convention We're
the names of Mccormack, Mccullough
or Beck ever presented to, or voted
upon by the Convention as candidates
for the office of Presidential Electors To
be voted for at the general election.
and that Kirman, Virgin. Comins and
Sadler were never constituted by said
Convention a committee with power TO
fill vacanies for any Office to be voted
for at the general election.
The affidavits further say that during
the first days session of the Conven-
tion, Bonnifield, Howell, Kirman, Sad
Ter, Comins and Virgin participated,
either as delegates or proxies in the pro-
ceedings and raised no objection to the
regularity or lawfulness OF the Conven-
tion, or to the proceedings of the same !:
that all of them continue to participate
in the business of the Convention
until the second day, when, be-
coming dissatisfied with the action of
the Convention adopting the majority
report of the Committee on Credentials;
that whatever action they took there
after, in nominating candidates or
otherwise, was merely as individuals
and not as the accredited representa-
tives of the Silver party; that every
county in the State except Nye aud Es-
meralda, was represented at said Con-
vention, there being 80 members pres
ent out of i05, of which the Convention
would have constituted had all the
counties been fully represented, and
that none of the alleged nominations
certified to by said persons were ever
made by the Silver party of Nevada or
by any committee authorized by said
Convention to make such nominations.

LO.O.F. CHANGE MEETING PLACE
Constitutional Amendments Acted
Upon by the Grand Lodge.

The Sovereign Grand Lodge of Odd
Fellows at San Francisco reconsidered
its action designating Washington. d.
c., as the meeting place for next years
session, and selected Philadelphia in
place of Washington. Two reasons
were assigned for the change. One was
that Washington, had not q large
enough membership to justify the
governing body in deciding to be its
guest, with the necessary expenses at.
tached to the reception of so many visi-
tors. The other reason was that Phil.
adelphia is the metropolis Of State
jurisdiction that has 112.947 Odd Eel
lows, the largest membership of any
State, and is a little further away than
Washington from Baltimore, where the
convention met last year.
The constitutional amendment propos-
ing that young men of Is years of age
be eligible to membership in the order
was defeated.
The amendment proposing that the
barrier of sex be removed SO that the
Rebekahs might become representatives
to the Grand Lodge was defeated.
The amendment that the color line
be extended so as to permit the ad-
mission of men who were partly Of
Indian descent was voted down.
The amendment providing that men
who were only Indirectly engaged in
the liquor business might be admitted
to the order was laid ON the table be.
