Swisher started out TO be governor six
years ago, and finally decided to with
draw and go after secretary of state
Topping may be following the same style
of play and be a governorship aspirant
only temporarily and with the same mo-
tive.
Swisher started his political career in
the city government OF Fairmont and
widened ii through his membership in the
Legislature. Topping is duplicating that
procedure.
Fred Blue of Barbour county is also
talked of for governor. There will be
others doubtless 10 set up lightning rods

chant, which occurred at his McDer-
mitt home Thursday. NJ Reinhart at
once telegraphed the news to the two
sons of deceased who are attending

DEATH OF "AUN1Y''
ROBINSON

Mrs. Melinda Robinson, an old resi-.
dent of Winnemucca and probably the
oldest person in the United States, died
at her home on Second street at an
early hour yesterday morning.
Deceased was the widow of Richard
Robinson, for many years engaged in
with j. A. Robinson Born slave in
Kentucky in 1900, Mrs. Robinson was
given her freedom shortly before the
Civil war, when she moved to this
coast, settling at Sacramento. Here
she was married, and after living in
several California cities, came with
her husband to Winnemucca during the
latter CO.'S.
Since the death of her husband,
which occurred some six years ago,
Mrs. Robinson had been practically
helpless and was attended to by her
granddaughter, Mrs. Ida Haegler.
"Aunty" Robinson was very in
teresting person, with distinct recol-
lection of all the important events of
her long life, and conversation with
her was equivalent to reading his
tory of the United States. With the
exception of the Revolution she had
seen the country pass through all of
its wars, while all of the great
had been inaugurated in her
time. She had seen the first steam
boat, railroad, telegraph, telephone.
sewing machine, cotton gin, electric
light and cars, and had lived to hear
of wireless telegraphy and flying ma
chimes.
The funeral, which was largely at
tended, was held this afternoon from
her late residence on West Second
street and was conductd by Rev. J. M.
Wilson, of the M. f. church, of which
she was devoted member.

BENEFITS OF CONGRESS
CANNOT BE OVERRATED
Secretary Civens Discusses the Impetus to Nevada
Mining That Is Certain to Fellow

, new methods of mining have vastly
improved. The extent of production
in the future cannot be predicted, for
each year yields its quota of definite
ore formation which clearly points to
the almost infinite possibility Of min.
ing in this state
DO these exhibits of ore pays Do
these exhibits develop our states
| would like to call your attention
to the following facts: The citizens of
Ely several years ago hade an exhibit
of their copper ore at the Omaha ex-
position This ore attracted the atten-
tion of gentleman and he became in
terested enough to make an investiga-
tion that has lead to the investment
OF over thirty millions of dollars there;
and what has been invsted there will
be but "child's play to what will
be returned in the production of cop
per.
In our opinion the display of ores
of our state, at the Goldheld Mineral
Palace, will cause the mining world
ito wake up and take notice. Its
work will continue when the ore is
taken out and placed in the university
at Reno where thousands will see it
in the future. This exhibit shows that
no corner of the state can any one af-
ford to condemn, nor think lightly of
the state possibilities No one has

Goldfeld, Nev., Sept. z, 1909.
Editor The Silver State:
A good many pepers are making ref
erence to the coming session of the
American Mining congress at Gold
field. This session promises to be an
exceptionally important one, and we
sometimes think that we people in Ne
vada do not appreciate as we should
appreciate this event. We believe
this congress will be great step for
ward in Nevada mining. Recently we
saw the display of our state ores in
1.-The Mineral Palace,'' and it surely
is credit to western mining.
Unless the mining men of the coun.
try come here and see it, they will not
be able to appreciate the benefits that
such an exhibit will be to the mining
business. 1t will be sufficient to know
after you have seen it that progrss has
been made in Nevada mining and that
the state is in position to go farther
In mining development.
1t teaches as surely as anything
teaches that within the next few
years we shall have the greatest era
of commercial mining this country has
ever seen.
1t will be great satisfaction to ev-
cry Nevadan to know that we shall
continue to be mining state confer
ring benefits to our nation and to hu-
manity.
This exhibit shows what marvellous
development has been made in Neva-
da in the last four years since Jim
Butler discovered the Mizpah lode at
Tonopah.
Yet Nevada is still in its infancy,
but a strenuous infancy it is We
have learned that originally it took
"picture ore' to make profit; at
first our mills were naturally crude, but

IMPORTANT HOME.
STEAD RULING

Charles E. Coe and Thomas B. Coe,
of Fallon, as heirs, on Tuesday receiv-
ed a decision on their appeal made
April Is, 1909, against their home
stead being cancelled. This was made
at the time a large number of home
steaders made similar appeals.
After stating the title of the Coe
case, the commissioner of the general
land Office says:
"Since the entry was made on June
~, 1907, under strict Interpretation
of the public notice of May 6, 1907,
the first instllment must be paid not
later than Decebmer l, 1908, in default
of which the entry was subject to
cancellation. The local engineers of
the reclamation service being called
upon to interpret the provision of the
notice as to the time when the first
payment became due Hereunder, took
into consideration the provisions of
the public notice of August 5, 1904 (33
l.. d. 1887. Payment of said install
ments shall commence on the first day
of December of the year within which
the water has been delivered to the

While there may be many different
cases among those making appeal, yet
it is plain from this decision that all

ed with the government. would not be
subject to cancellation until after De-

procured.
