Another Comet.

By intelligence received from the
Warner observatory, Rochester, New
York, it appears that still another
comet has just been discovered by
DIR. Gould, Director of the Cordova
Observatory, Argentine Republic,
South America. This comet seems to
be the great comet of 1907, and Is To-
Gated in the constellation of the dove,
right ascension 6 hours and declina-
ton south 80 degrees. 1t is not WIS.,
IDLE from this latitude and not known
yet that it will be, although it is
likely to be as the comet Of 1907 was
distinctly No apprehension
need be had over the unusual appear
of comets during the present
year, as they do no possess the power
to work injury upon the earth or any
other planet.

other member has the audacity to
question the proceeding, he is told to
shut up, as the "msmber receiving
the largest majority in the county"

balance of the Board and give ]. F.
full sway to display his executive and
legislative ability, without being ham,
pered by useless colleagues, who
know little or nothing of the nice
parliamentary tactics which govern
legislative bodies. Either that, or let
us send Commissioner Flynn to sue
coed Geo. w. C. in Congress, in which
body his great ability as a parliamen-

White Pine should not be so selfish
as to confine the genius of so promis-
ing a statesman within her narrow
limits. The nation need his services.
Let her have them.

The Utah and Nevada Railroad.


Speaking of this proposed new line
of railway, the Salt Lake Tribune
says: The projected extension is a
very important one for the city ofSalt
Lake. It will touch some of the best
mining camps of Nevada, to say moth
ing of the new country within the
borders of Utah as Dugway and Gran
lite, whose prospects have hitherto been
layed by reason of the lack of COM
munication with the business world,
and the expensive transportation of
their low grade ores. In our neigh
boring State the road will open COM
munication with Cherry Creek Dis
trict, which, on fuller development, is
believed by those conversant with its
deposits, to have the promise of a
very rich camp. At Eureka the
mines have long desired a better out
let than they have at present, which
amounts simply to an easier method
of reaching the line which lies in wait
to Cypress them. With a connection
to Salt Lake by an independent rail.
way system, large bodies of the low
grade ore of that rich district can be
brought to Utah and. worked at a
profit, which is now worthless on ac-
count of the expensive process nec-
essary there. For some years the
mining operators of Eureka have had
their minds On this idea, and plans
have been considered from time to
time for bringing those ores here T;
but on account of their having to be
re-shipped at Palisade, and having to
be carried on three separate lines of
railroads, there has been no practical
outcome to the plans heretofore con-
sidered for the bringing here OF those
ores. But with the extension of this
road we may expect the shipment of
ores from Nevada to Salt Lake City to
become a large and profitable line of
business. Our concentrators and
smelters are prepared for exactly that
kind of work, and better prepared
than men in that business anywhere
else, and will gladly welcome the
influx of those ores.

see why lectures of this kind on this
very interesting branch of science
should not be attended with gratifying
