million tons more ore than Esmeralda, valued
at close to $7,000000 on which tax amounting to
approximately $4,000 has been collected. year
ago White Pine county was not .on the bullion tax
rolls. 1t ranks first to tonnage and second
to the value of it's output. This is not discour
aging for 12 months. There are mining men who
believe that Lyon county, where the Yerington dis
trict is located the of passing the record
set by the mines around Ely
Nye county has made a remarkable showing
It's tonnage was great as 1908, though the value
is not as much. This is due in part to the low
price of silver which prevailed during most of the
past year
Storey county has made good showing. The
same can be said of Humboldt county. Its output
for 1910 gives promise of passing the million dollar
mark.
Lyon county will also make better showing
during the present year Official figures show that
the of Lincoln county was of very low grade
But as the figures shown as being correct by
the mine owners there is nothing to do but accept
them as correct 1t seems at this time that Lincoln
will make much better showing for the present
year.
Clark county will also prove an important
factor, for within six months of its history it has
almost passed the year mark set by its old parent
Lincoln.

Esmeralda county less gross production than the

Special to The Herald

CONVENTION HALL, Nashville,
Tenn, June 16-When the Patterson
State convention convened at the Ry-
man Auditorium shortly after noon to-
day there were not more than half OF
the seats occupied. The crowd was
much smaller than had been antictpat-
ed. but the statement is made that "a
larger crowd will be in attendance
tonight W hen Patterson makes his
opening speech.
The convention was called to order
|by Chairman Austin Peay, Of the
state Patterson Committee. The for
NAL call of the convention was read
and Samuel G. Heiskell, of KnUxVnie
was selected as the temporary Chair
man. Mr.. Heiskell's speech aroused
much enthusiasm among the delegates
and he was repeatedly cheered to the
echo. His speech was terrific ar

convention and he predicted success
for the Patterson ticket.

ed one of the secretaries. w. J. CraW-

vention.
There being no contests to settle
and every detail of the convention
having been carefully mapped out in
advance by the leaders the public gen.
orally look on it as q tame affair. The
attendance so far is nothing like as
large as that at the Democratic con-

SMALL LOCAL DELEGATION
Estimated That tie Attendance from
Maury County did not Exceed
Seventy-FiVe


No very great amount of interest To-
cally was manifested in the Patterson
State convention today, and if the
delegations from other near-capital
Middle Tennessee counties were no
larger than that sent up by Maury
county the convention attendance was
very largely made up of Nashville ana
Davidson county people. SO far as
could be ascertained from an inquiry
at the railroad stations in the county
it is estimated that the attendance
did not exceed seventy-ive persons.
When compared with the more than
400 who attended the Democratic con-
vention at Nashville on May is, this
crowd sinks into insign1icance.
No special trains we're run on this
road. Two extra coaches were attach
ed to the regular trains this morrins
but these passed through Columbia
without any crowds. The train from
.Lewisburg was not crowded this
morning and there was no very con-
siderable inconvenience to the passen'
gers on the Lawrenceburg and Mt
Pleasant divisions because Of the
crowds. In fact the tfavel was just a
little above normal.
There were about fifteen round trip
tickets sold to Nashville for the first
train this morning. About twenty
tickets were sold here for the Decatur
accommodation This makes approx
mately thirty-fve that went today
from Columbia. Some of the more ar
dent enthusiastics went the evening
before and it is estimated that per-
haps thirty-five went from the other
, stations in the county. 1t is therefore
reasonable tc estimate the total at
tendance from Maury at seventy-fve
