MAJOR D. L. BROWN. The Daily Evening Report, published at Virginia City, Nevada, a six-column, four-page paper, the organ of the silver Democrats, was founded in 1888 by Major D. L. Brown and Alfred Chartz. The Foot Light was established in 1872 by J. P. Plant, John A. Mahanny & Company, and in 1888 it merged with the Daily Evening Report. On March 23, 1891, the following company was incorporated with D. L. Brown, president; Frank S. Cox, treasurer, and John L. Considine, secretary and treasurer, and they form the board of directors. Major Brown has been a resident of Nevada since 1873, and is a native of St. Louis, Missouri. His education was secured in the public schools of San Francisco, he having located in California in 1849, when but seven years of age, and on his way passed through what was then designated as the territory of Utah, now Nevada. He served in the First California National Guards, and has the honor of having been major of the first regiment of Nevada State Guards. In politics he has always been a Democrat, and now strongly advocates the cause of silver, both personally and in his paper. His strong sentiments in this direction, combined with his thorough comprehension of the vital questions of the day, makes him a very prominent factor in the politics of the state, and a man universally respected and honored.
