BRYAN AND KERNS
APPEAL TO FARMERS
FirstAppeaiF or Campaign Funds
is Addressed to Agricul-
turiStS of Country

FAikvIEW Uincoln, Neb), July
1s.-The first appeal for campaign
contributions by. the Democratic can
didates for President and VivePres-
ident was made today. In formal
message directed to the farmers OF
the country, Bryan and Kern urge
them to contribute according to their
means and in other ways assist in
restoring Democracy to power. The
appeal is as follows:
ITO the farmers of the United
States The first contribution made
TO the Democratic campaign fund this
year so far as we know, was made by
an Iowa farmer. Just before the Den
yer convention met this man, who
modestly prefers not to have his
name mentioned, journeyed more than
100 miles to Lincoln with his contri-
button of $1tJ, which he left with Mr..
Bryan to be given to the committee
when organized for the campaign.
"This farmer was born in Sweden,
and for some time after he was nat
uralized, was a member of the Re-
publican party But he was student
Of public questions and IN the course
Of time became Democrat. To
manifest his deep interest in the sue
cess CT the party and in the triumph
Of Democracy he made this free will
offering to the campaign fund
Farmers Should Celebrate.
1T is very appropriate that the
nrst donation should come from that
great body Of our population known as
agriculturalists. The farmer has
nothing TO gain by privilege and favor
itism. his hope is in the application
OF the doctrine OF Equal rights to
all and special privileges to none
He has been the victim Of all special
legislation and suffered from the con-
troll of politics by the great preda-
tory corporations Now that the
Democratic party has announced its
determination not to accept contri-

Former CarSonite Dies
at His Reno Home on
Yesterday

The angel of death visited the Con-
sidine home yesterday and removed
from his earthly sphere of activity
Joseph Considine, one of the old resi-
dents of Nevada.
80" Considine has lived in Nevada
since 1865, when he moved to Silver
City from California. He was born
in Kilrush, Ireland, in 1854, and his
63 years of life have been full of ac-
tivity.
Up to a few months ago he was in
the service of the state, but ill health
compelled him to move to Reno,
where his son John L. Considine lives.
Since that time the father has stead
ly declined until Thursday when he
became unconscious.
At the time of his death he was
surrounded by his family, his. wife,
his daughter, Miss Mary, and his son
John, who have watched at his bed
side night and day since his illness
became acute f s..... ......
Sunday afternoon the last rites will
be paid the deceased husband and
father at St. Thomas Church at the
Catholic cemetery.-Journal.
The deceased was we'll known in
this city where he lived for a number
of years, where he was watchman for
the state at the State Treasurer's
Office He removed to Reno severa
months ago and has since made
his home with his son, John Consi-
dine. .,..
The sympathy of the many friends
of the family residing in this city is
extended to those left to mourn his
loss.

DISCOVERY
Fiftieth Anniversays Of
ComStock Will be Fit
tinely Observed

Operations were resumed in the
Gold Hill mines under the contral of
the haron estate yesterday morn
ing with a force as large as before
the shutdown. An erroneous report
gained circulation that the mines
would oe closed down for an indefi-
mite period, whereas it was caused
by the necessity of repairs TO the ma
which shaft all the work in the south
end group is being done. Work is
going on full blast at the yellow
Jacket and from this time forward
there will be no occasion for sus-
pension Of operations at the mill.
The raise recently completed from
the 100 to 1000 level will be greatly
facilitate the extraction of ore and
the output will be much greater.
Preparations are being made to
properly celebrate labor day on the
old lode. According to custom it is
virginia's turn to do homage to the
sons Of toll and that the day will be
fittingly observed is already assured.
The coming celebration is hut pre-
liminary to the big affair which will
be held next July to celebrate the
iftieth anniversary of the discovery
of the Comstock. Such an affair was
arranged to take place two years ago
but the San Francisco disaster pre-
vented the carrying out of the plans.
Since that time the Comstock has
prospered to a wonderful degree and
the celebration will surpass anything
Of the like nature ever attempted in
the state.
As evidence of the ways things are
moving here it may be stated that
during the past two weeks two sa-
looms have opened and a grocery and
restaurant are nearly ready to start
in business. Several new cottages
have been ercted during the last few
months and more are under construc-
tion. ..

Lease at Jumbo Owned
by Van Ettan is Max
ing Good

The east drift on the Empire lease
of Van Etten and Foster has reached
the ledge for which it has been driven
Paintings taken from the hanging
walls of the vein, which has just been
encountered, show free gold. It is
estimated that the ore is worth bet
ter than $50 per ton. Where the ledge
was exposed in the old incline shaft
it showed a width of nearly seven
feet. The next week will be required
to fully determine the width of the
vein. Like the discovery on the B..
B. & M. it goes to prove the perma-
nency of the lodges of the district,
and supports the theory that ore of
greater value will be found at depth.
The upper crust of the vein is of
blue quartz and porphyry. and is
heavily impregnated with white iron
sulphides Through this stringer are
small seams of rich ore. The vein
proper contains free gold and brown
sulphurets which also contains the
yellow metal The vein is the same
as that being sought on: the Capital.
The shaft on the Gopher is down
SIS feet. Between the two shafts
lies the ledge just found on the B. B.
& NJ, and work will be started short
ly on a drift to connect the two open
ings. With the cutting of the ledge
between the shafts the operators will
be in a position to extract ore from
two veins-Miner.
