Few people who have never attend
ed a National convention OF at least
one OF the great political parties Of
these United States can comprehend
the magnitude OF the tribute paid to
hon. W. J. Bryan during the conven-
ton at which he was nominated in
Denver last week. The Denver con-
yention was not as largely attended by
the public as the one held In Kansas
City eight years ago. and the number
Of delegates and alternates only ex-
ceeded that assembly by a hundred or
so. But the tribute paid the great
Commoner last week seems to have
equalled that paid him on the Fourth
Of July, 1900, II such a thing were pos
sible. The editor OF The Sun was a
delegate to the Kansas City conven-
ton. and he can picture in his minds
eye the scene that occurred in Den
yer last week. When the Bryan ban
ner was waved in the convention in
Kansas City ten thousand flags were
Immediately held aloft by delegates
and spectators, the standards OF the
different States were seized by excited
advocates OF the great Nebraskan,
and march around. the immense audi
forum with these banners waving be-
gan which lasted for over an hour. To
give an idea OF the enthusiasm which
prevailed we have only to state that
such men as former Chief Justice Lid
don, Judge Palmer Of Lake City, and
others of the older members OF the
delegation took turn about as banner
bearers, as one or the other would
become exhausted from the excessive
heat. The younger. element, how.
ever, such as Major Wright Of Tampa,
Judge Gibbons OF Jacksonville, Me.
Donald Of DeLand, and one or two
others, maintained their composure
and did not become unduIy excited. al
though they we're heartily In favor
OF Bryan's nomination under the cir.
cumstances. What they feared most
was the IS to craze, and time has
demonstrated that they were right on
this question.
When an effort was made In the
Kansas City convention TO get David

ticket with Mr.. Bryan the demonstra-
tion was AZ great, IL not greater. than
that accorded TO Bryan. but this was
due TO the fact that Mr.. Hill

From the bare trees sound the cheerful notes
of the first migrants.
The blackthorn is covered with little white buds
ready to expand, and the children pluck the
strange arum blooms and make each other guess

Again when the blackthorn is white on the
hedges and the swallows fly overhead, and the
cuckoo has come, and the fragrant ground ivy
trails its purple blue flowers on the hedgebank,
and here and there dandelion with its glowing
yellow disc CLEANS like sunlight among the grass.
Examine the petals and you will see that they are
not of a uniform yellow, but shaded from yellow
to orange this adds to the intensity of the color
Later on the ripe seeds with their fluffy down

Old we ever believe in the time keeping proper

the hedges "like fall of snow" and the cuckoo

BULLION FROM The
WHEELER

Fred Flindt arrived in Yerington from
the Wheeler mine this week bringing
with him bar of gold bullion resultant
from a treatment of ore in the company's
mill on the ground. The bar was val
ued at several hundred dollars.
Mr. Flindt states that many improve
ments are being made at both the mine
and the mill, the latter receiving a gem
eral overhauling to make it more effic-
lent. 1t is highly probable that at an
early date the mill will be considerably en-
larged to admit of the treatment of an
increased tonnage.
The mine itself is showing a marked
improvement under the management of
Mr. Flindt. He is opening up new ter
ritory rich in the yellow metal. For
several years the ;Dine has been a per
sistent producer. Its future is more
roseate than its past.

ORE Encountered ON
THE SUNSET

+. ]. Lennard, the mining engineer,
was an arrival in Yerington yesterday
from the Buckskin section. Mr.. Len
nard has just finished 40-foot shaft on
the Sunset group of claims owned by
Will Pittman of Tonopah and associates.
He reports an excellent showing in the
shaft. At depth of 80 feet some as
says of the vein were taken which showed
splendid values. Eighteen inches of the
lead showed an average of over 80 per
cent copper.
The shaft will likely be continued
downward at an early date. This work
promises to result in tie opening up of
a good ore body. The Sunset lies be-
tween the Union Blue and the Honest
Endeavor claims i'll one of the most
promising sections of the district.

Clever Show

The double entertainment given last
evening in Owl hall by the Yerington
Amusement company and the pupils of
the public school was indeed creditable
one. The big hall was crowded to the
doors, standing room being at premium.
Every number was well received, the
applause attesting the warmth of the au-
dience.
These entertainments are source of
genuine pleasure to the townspeople and
in appreciation thereof are literally pat
ronized.
The Amusement company deserves
unstinted praise for the progressive
methods it adopts to please its patrons.
Next week Kidnaper, the trained horse,
will be the main attraction at the conf
pany's playhouse.
