The Old DAYS On The Coms,ock

An instance of what is in the name
OF an OH mine which has once done
we'll is found in the recent revival of
interest i'll the Comstock property in
Nevada, says the Wall Street Summary.
Many oldtime mining men and some
younger ones are watching the develop
ment of Il project to bring that mine
prominently under the public eye.
The total output of the Comstock
loie from its early development until
the latest report of production was
1913, J1o, 900. Of this output 60 per
cent was silver and 40 per cent gold
1t il estimated that between $50, 600, =
900 III gold and $50, 900, 600 in silver
were lost to the owners of the Com
stock properties Thorough the imperfect
methods in use in the refining industry
Il generation and more ago and the
knavery of Il combination of foreign
smeiters which handled Il good deal of
the product. Had the bononza kings
of the Comstock been favored with
the low cost of mining and transporta-
ton advantages of today and had they
possessed the benefitUf the smelling
corporations of today they would have
obtained about 70 per cent more money
than they got from the Comstcok lode
Men are living and active in mining
and banking today who remember the
days When miners around the Com
stock paid $3.50 II pound for flour and
when mule train charge for carrying
100 pounds so miles was double the
present price for carrying ton of
metal from Nevada to this port. 1t
waS the energy and the mechanical
ability and skill of the late John w.
MlCkay that made the Comstoc< yield
vast riches after most of the others
concerned there looked upon the prop
erty as ''petered out" To u member
OF the staff of the Wall Street Summary,
who WIS Il mining engineer for Mr..
Mackly for eight years, the latter,
pointing TO the grave of Henry George
few feet distant from the magnificent
John ". Mackay mausolcum in Green
wood Cemetery, New York, once said:
''All the bullion l took out of the
ComstOck was not worth the solid
gold i'll that honest mans character. |
took out of the Comstoel1, after it was
said to have been played out, . mass of
silver almost equal to the bulk of ST.
Parls chapel, Broadway, New York.
| had faith in the mine when my
friends wanted me to throw up my
hands. But said, Wen dive deeper
and see what comes of it,"
1t was awful work on the Comstocll
when tine temperature was in the
hundreds. Often the men could work
but ten to twenty minutes at time;
then they would keel over and be
dragged away to be refreshed Ten
thousand lusty young men went to
premature ends because mining science
was not well developed in the days
w1cn [ WAS mining engineer in
Nevada. President and Mrs. Grant
and Henry George all tainted when
down in the CoInstock mines, and yet
they did not see the mines until long
after science had enabled us to reduce
the temperature at the deep levels.
General Grant said to me, That's as
near hell US 1 want to go, John As
for Henry George, he said he would not
work under such conditions for all the
>gold and silver in the world, and he
declared that no miner should work foi
more than two hours day at such toll. =

No Need Of Suffering From Rheu-
nathan

It is a mistake to allow anyone to sui
fer from rheumstism, as the pain can
always be relieved, and in most cases
cure effected BY applying Chamber
lain's Liniment. The relief from pain
which it affords is alone worth many
times its cost. 1t makes sleep and rest
possible. Even in cases of long stand
ing this liniment should be used ON ac-
count of the relief which it affords. Do
not be discouraged until you have given
it trial. For sale by Valley drug store.

CLOSING Date Extended
Conditions Make it Necessary to Extend
the Closing Date Of the Contest
to Julu goth.
Miss Wells Wins Extra Votes

In view OF the general Inconvenience
and interruption that prevails at
this time on account of overflow. the
management of the Chronicle popu-
larity contest has decided to extend
the time for closing to date twenty
days later. The announcement is
therefore made that the date for
closing is changed fronf the night of
June Both to the night of July Goth.
We find this change is necessary
both as matter of justice to the
young ladies engaged in the contest
and to the Chronicle in ha wing access
to the people who are expected to
participate in the final closing.
The contest will proceed as hereto
fore with the exception that the time
forclosing is fixed at a period twenty
days later. This is done for the rea-
son that all of the contestants are
expected to be here or to have repre-
seDtatives present on the closing
night. The outlook at present is
that on June 30th it will he almost
impossible for people to get to CoIfax,
whereas it is hoped that by July Goth
the conditions will be greatly inn
proved.
Contestants are requested to go
ahead as heretofore with the solicita-
ton of subscriptions. The schedule
of votes md everything remains the
same. and credit of all votes sent in
will continue to be given as herete-
fore. We will continue to publish our
daily bulletin of the contest, and keep
all posted az tn its progress.
In the matter of the contest for the
1000 extra votes offered to the young
lady obtaining the largest number
Of new subscribers between Sunday.
June 9th, and 6p. IN. Saturday, June
18th, we have toannouuce that Miss
Clara Wells wins the prize. The ex-
ira 1000 votes are therefore added
to her figures in the statement below.
The result of the week contest shows
that Miss Wells has IA majority of 10
new subscribers over the other con-
testants which entities her to the ex-
ira votes offered.
Wecongratulateo one and all on the
keen but good natured rivalry shown
in the contest, and feel sure that il
will continue to the end All of the
young ladies who are in the race have
a chance to win. In the last thirty
days there are two cases in contests
similar to this where ladies fifth and
seventh in the race, only one week be-
fore the closing, on the closing night
captured first prizes. We mention
this to show the possibili, les of the
race, and to encourage one and all.
now that they have four full weeks in
which to work, to enter into the con-
test with renewed energy, and We
shall do our very best to conduct it
to pleasant and satisfactory finish.
The regular vote as made up to
Thursday evening, June 18th, is as
follows:

SOME STRAIGHT
TALK At PUNAHOU
Republicans Preach Doctrine
of the Party-KuhiO a
KaIihi FaV0rite.

Republican doctrines and local issues
were presented last evening to a large
audience in the little park at the cor

street E. C. Brown, of College Hills,
presided, and for diversion, a quintet
club was in attendance.
Among the principal speakers Of the
evening was "Jack" Atkinson, who
spoke strongly in favor of Prince Ku-
hio for Delegate, and defended him
from some of the attacks of Link Nc,
Candless. Atkinson sprung list OF
over 300 kuleanas held by McCandless
on this island, carefully compiled from
the public records, showing that the
majority were secured by McCandless

Speeches by McCandIess, Fern

Candidates.

The Democrats held the last meetings
last night that they will hold in Homo

island, which begins today, the first
meeting being Kaneohe tonight.
L. L. McCandless, in spite of his ac-
tive exertiOns from the soap-box forum
at King and Bethel streets in the after
noon, made two vigorous speeches last
night, one of them at the meeting in Ma
noa valley, and the other at the meeting
at Kalihi.
McCandless said that to show how
thoroughly the Republican party and
Delegate Kuhio had broken faith and
promises with the people it was only
necessary to cite their platform of two
years ago. In that they pledged the par
ty and the Delegate to secure the
amendment of the Organic Act so as
to permit the Legislature to legislate
