BRYAN HAS NOT
 DECLARED POSITION

WASHINGTON D. C., Nov. H. Senator Rayner and Governor War field of Maryland are to be sounded today by an official representative of William J. Bryan's presidential boom ters as to whether they will speak at a harmony dinner to be held at the Ra- leigh hotel in this city on Tuesday evening, November 26, at which the Nebraskan will again be formally pre- scented to the democrats of the coun- try for nomination by their national convention.
 It is hoped that either one or both of the Marylanders will be present. There is a lurking suspicion here that !; the vice presidential bee, which Gov ernor Warfield is known to have had ] in his bonnet for almost two years, may incline him to accept the invita- tion, but nothing is definitely known | here as to his intentions or those oi Senator Rayner.
 There are to be four speakers at the i banquet in addition to MT. Bryan, one of whom is to be the toastmaster A committee on speakers was appoint ed last night, and it's members are now engaged in obtaining e<9torical material. They have Keen given l l 1. -. tc -aalaeL- from Z t.a effort effort is iss being being made tn have the l speaker from New York a man who i has not been engaged in politics, but the announcement of whose accept ance 1t is hinted will arouse much at tention. There is no leak as to the | identity of this person.
 There will be 470 seats at the din. ner, the cost of which will be 8 peI plate.
 Willis J. Abbott, the chief of the Bryan boomers, said today that the keynote of the addresses will prob
 ably be that while the country is in g phenomenal state of prosperity tht
 mismanagement of public affairs by the republicans prevents the people
 from profting by it. Mir. Abbott add
 ed: Tt will be said that Mir. Bryar
 is going to make that long anticipated
 announcement of his purpose as tC
 whether he will be candidate fol president. I would like to say thai
 while I have met Mir. Bryan within
 three weeks, he has never stated t6
 me that he would be a candidate ol
 that he would not, aud that I can af
 firm explicitly that there is nobody fl
 the United States who is able tC
 speak for him on that subject, Neith
 CT has he fixed any definite time al
 which he will declare himself Thert
 is an effort being made, and I am |
 part of 1t, to get him to declare him
 self at this meeting, and I am hopefu
 he may do so. but as yet I have nS
 definite word from him."

Iusuficiently Marked-The law is
mandatory in requiring that mining
claims must be marked upon the ground
that the boundaries thereof can be read

filled by simply setting a post at or neal
the place Of discovery, and setting stakes
at each OF the corners of the claim and
at the centers of the end lines. unless
the topography of the ground is such
that a person accustomed to tracing the
lines of mining claims can after read

MINING NEWS SOLICITED

The shipments of ore from the Eu-
reka District during the past two
months have been among the largest IN
recent years. and prove c~onclusiveiy that
a rapidly increasing quantity OF the
precious metals is being taken from
this vicinity. Pack trains are bringing
ore from the mountains south OF Eu-
reka every day, and the regular ore
teams have more work than they can
perform.
1t is very difficult to give an adequate
idea Of what is really being done at tine
present time in Eureka County. for
nearly every mining man meets us with
the statement that he is developing his
property himself and does not desire
publicity in the matter.
The SENTINEL earnestly solicits re-
liable news and information along this
line. The development work is now
advanced far enough to make bona fide
4, statements Of the Of this dis
trict possible. They will be of general
interest to the public, and will event
ually be beneficial to the community at
large.
The prosperity of Eureka District is
sufficiently apparent to warrant the full
publication of this class of news. and If
mining men who have such informa-
tion at their command will kindly
furnish the SENTINEL with the neces-
sary data early in the week, its ap-
pearance in the following issue will be
insured.

Cement For Fence Posts

The United States produces 25.OoO,-
O0o ons of pig iron annually. A writer
in an Eastern journal points out mat
1000, 600 ont of this amount could be
done away with by using cement, and
further that on a smooth road freight
can be carried cheaper than on rail-
roads. Cement is growing in use
rapidly and for low and common build
ings ought to do away with much
stone, brick and Lumber. One big
farmer in the East is using reinforced
cement for fence posts. 1t has peculiar
advantages for many purposes. 1t is
not affected by heat, cold, frost OF
moisture. 1t is practically ire-proof
and endures for all time.

That the people Of Nevada are bent

must be evident to all those who read
the newspapers. 1t is NJ spasmodic
movement, but a determined resolve
that the desired reforms shall be eff.

In this connection. the Nevada State
Herald, Of Wells, says: 1.-THE people
Of Nevada expect some railroad legisla-
ton of benefit TO the State from the
coming Legislature. Let our citizens
watch closely the actions Of the mem.
bers composing that body let them
note those who stand in with the
railroad. and then let them retire such
men to the political graveyard. when
they come up for election another
time"
We think there will be no question
about the retirement from political life
Of any legislator who islands in" but
we would 60 farther than the Herald and
would urge that any man. in the Legis-
lature or out of it, who does not stand
by the people in their just demands.
shall be held in contumely by his neigh
bors. The disgrace should be emphasized
by private ostracism as well as public
obloquy.
But the Journal has a higher opinion
of the men who will constitute the
next Legislature Of Nevada than to
think that they would sell out their
constituents. Many Of them we know
personally and We entertain for them
the highest respect. We firmly believe
that they will do their duty.-Reno
