THE WELLS COMET.
Neither Total Failure, Nor Very
Brilliant Success.

NeAtEer II hObaE EAllure. NOro very
Brilliant Success.
The Albany IN. " Argus Of June 7
contains a long account of the new comet
obtained from Professor Boss, from which
we take the main points: :
1.-THE development of the Wells Comet"
said Professor Boss, of the Dudley observ-
atory, yesterday, $50 far as concerns the
throwing off of q tail, has been ~disappoint-
ing to astronomers in general, and par
ticularly to me, in view Of the glowing
predictions which I made during the first
tho tail been seen in the telescope to he
longer than two and q half degrees, which
would not entitle this comet to rank in the
list Of great comets.' 1t is very poor con-
ISOLATION to me to find that other astron-
omers have been equally mistaken in their
predictions. The whole history OF this
comet proves that Il knowledge Of the
subject Ia not yet sufficient to enable us to
make accurate predictions Of the nature or
physical appearance OF comets.
NJ. S~chwedoff, of the University Of odessa,
early in April made elaborate calculations
and predictions regarding the Wells Comet.
In a copy Of communication which he
prepared on the subject and sent to the
Dudley Observatory, he figures the tail as
it will appear at different points of the
orbit, making it during the latter days Of
June more thar $50, 600, 900 miles in
length. 1t is barely possible that this
prediction will yet be realized; but even if
it should we shall have no opportunity
to observe the display, because the situa-
ton of the comet will be such that observ-
ers in the middle ATTITUDES only will see
it to the best advantage. Here, during
the latter part Of June, the comet will be
seen low down to the southwest, just after
sunset, and the tail will stretch away to
the southwest nearly parallel with the
horizon. The comet will set so short a
time after the sun that the tail will always
be in the bright twilight, and, therefore,
not easily seen. The nucleus has followed
the predictions regarding it with sufficient
aOpprany-

The State Central Committee, which
met yesterday at Virginia, determined that
the Democratic State Convention shall be
held here on 9Th of September. This is as
It should be. The convention has never
been held here. Turn about is fair play.
The average expense Of delegates in at
tendance to the convention held here will
be less than if it were held at Carson.
There are, therefore, two reasons why it
should be held here this time, to wit |:
Eureka has never been so honored before,
and 1t is in tho aggregate the cheaper place
FOR The meeting. Our war horse, r. Sadler,
was down there among the committee,
and if there was any fighting necessary to
nave the right thing done, you may be

OPEN GAMING.
How the Business is Carried Oh liza
New York city.

How the Business Is Carried OH liza
New York city.
Gambling is booming in New York. In
the belt across bounded by Park Place on
the north and Liberty street on the south,
there are now no less than seventeen games
in full blast every week day from early in
the afternoon until ten O'Clock, and some
times until midnight. There are only
two or three of these that run on q bank
as small as S., 900. Their general capital
is $40, 900, and there are three or four OF
them with double that amount constantly
in the drawer to tempt all corners; but
there is not one now in the city that finds
it necessary to have a bank of $50, 900. as
one big uptown Morrissy combination
did during the war. That game
has now reduced Its capital in hand to
S35, 600. In Broadway and Twenty-sixth
street are tive, at least, of the heaviest
games in New York at this time. The
proprietors OF one OF these also run a big
day game in Fulton street, and during
the Summer season carry on the establish
ment formerly run by John Morrissy at
Saratoga. The season at Saratoga is short.
but very lively while it lasts, from $40, 600
to $50, 600 changing hands every night.
Midnight suppers are no longer the iea-
ture they we're before the war. The gam
bier may offer to the player with whom he
ia acquainted a social glass of good liquor
or a fine cigar, but he no longer thinks
of tempting custom by bird suppers and
expensive wines. 1t is said by gamblers
in this line of play that the percentages
In the banks favor with the way the game
is now played dc not allow a sufficient
margin of profit for them to indulge in
any such extravaganza. In one very old
gaming house in Barclay street two meals
are act each day for the employees and
partners of the house. and II any patrons
are present at the time of the meal they
are welcome to p~artake, but there is no
marked endeavor to get up a particularly
attractive spread. Three of the best up
town games still have midnight suppers
for their employees, at which players are
invited to share, but the suppers are not
feasts. The limit of the game has been
very much reduced since the war. Then
in two or three of the larger games it was
$3.50 to cases and $500 to doubles. Now
it is down SO that the highest, apart from
some rare exceptional case, is only $500 to
cases and $500 to doubles.

Geology of Eureka District.

Mr.. @. D. Wolcott Of the United States
Geological Survey, who was associated
with Mr.. Arnold Hague in the geological
survey of Eureka District in 1880, has re-
turned to study more in detail a few ques-
tons connected with the geology Of the
district, The latter has proven to be
OF unusual interest, and Mr.. Wslcott is &C.
companied by Prof. S. E. Tillman, Profess
sor OF Geology at the West Point Military
academy, and Midshipman E. E. Hayden,
u. 5. N. The latter wish to study geology
IN the field, and for this purpose a more
interesting and instructive area than Eu-
feha District is rarely met with.
Mr.. Q, H. Haskell will make collections
OF fossils from the various geologic forma-
uons Tor the purpose of a study of the life
Oh the ancient seas in which the sediments
now forming the rocks were deposited.

THE BROAD LEDGE THEORY
Discussed with Regard to Its
Bearing on Prospect Mountain

Discussed with Regard to Its
Bearing OH Prospect Mountain
Locations.
There seems to be a growing tendency to
insist upon the theory Of a broad mineral
zone, such as the Supreme Court has
decided that of Ruby Hill to be, for Pros
pect Mountain. The question as to its
adaptability to that locality is growing
stronger daily. Is Prospect Mountain
composed of one or two lodges, or of
hundreds2 This question answered and
the problem is solved. But a question of
public good arises. Shall two or three
proprietors, by the purchase of a con-
tinuous line of patented claims, running,
say, from Secret Canyon to the Jackson,
sweep out of existence hundreds of claims
running parallel to them, patented and I'M
patented, and located upon the assures and
small veins, which it has until lately been
the belief, were the ore-bearing formations
of the mountain? There is a well-detined
wall Of quartz, or quartzite, running from
the jackson around the western base of
Prospect, extending for fou or five miles.
On the east of the mountain lies the long
belt of shale which has been cut in the
Eureka Tunnel. Does the limestone lying
between the two, over half a mile in
width, comprise one enormous ledge?
There is another belt of shale cropping
out along the ridge in places, which may
be but local. If it is, this great ledge
would be half a mile wide. If it is not,
there would, according to the theory, be
two lodges, each a quarter of a mile in
width and four or five miles in length.
And if the one mineral belt is accepted to
be correct, o series of patented claims, end
to end, making, say, five miles in length
by 200 feet in width, would sweep every
claim east and west as coming within the
extended side lines of this one line OF
claims which might be in the possession of
one company. Would this not lead to
endless litigation which could only end in
the Supreme Court of the United States ?
This would put justice beyond the reach
Of thousands of poor men holding
claims upon which they have worked
for years and spent thousands in
time and money, fondly believing
that they were working on their own
narrow tissure lodges or veins, and not
within the extended lines of a claim thous-
ands of feet away, and against whose
patents it would have appeared absurd to
protest, even if the Land Office would
have received their complaints. Why do
not some of our local experts give the pub
lie the benefit of their views on this sub
ject? 1t would be of great interest to
every one interested in the district, and
might be the means of setting to rights
much legal trouble.

THE TEMPEST SURVEY.
"A Remarkable Paper form the
Interior Department.


Mr.. N. Wescoatt, for Gilmer & Salisbury,
made a survey of the Tempest mine,
Bristol District, Nevada, which was sent
back from the Department at Washington
amendments on the Goth of June. The
location of the Tempest mine is for 1900
feet in length by 600 in breadth. The
survey includes on the north, between the
east and west lines, the Red Cloud mining
claim and a portion of the Hillside.
Commissioner A.. G. Mcfarland writes
to Gen. Davis "The relative position Of
the Red Cloud lode to the Tempest claim
makes it clear to my mind that the vein Of
the Tempest claim is a continuation of the
Red Cloud, and consequently the Tempest
owners have no right to the surface
ground of their survey lying north of the
center Of the southern end line of lot No.
SO Red Cloud claim, which was patented
Sept. 80, 1880, to A. J.. Blair and A.
Richard.
at is necessary, therefore, that the
survey of the Tempest claim should be
amended, and the plat and field notes are
returned for that purpose. The amend
ment must consist OF the running of q
iCW Il iiiC ioi "a ave ti.Cisy boNtlttHiy 3
said new end line to be drawn through the
oenter OF the southern end line OF the Red
Cloud lode claim, from side line to side
line, and parallel with tho southern end
line of the Tempest survey, as at present
laid down"
This decision is regarded as I'M
precedented by all the mining men
that have examined it. It depriyes
the Tempest of all the ground
within it's boundaries that 10 included b.
tween its east and west lines. and the east
and west lines of the Red Cloud lat
ter claim being narrhWer than and in
Guided within the former. Hence this
intermediate ground for which So an acre
was paid the Government, though not
claimed by the Red Cloud or any other ap-
plicant, is. seemingly without any reason.
thrown out of the Tempest survey and
held back by Uncle Sam as against the
whole mining world. The ground from
which the Tempest Is excluded may be
found to contain the apex of a o that it
would be valuable to prospect, and which,
by all previous decisions in such premises,
would belong to the party applying for it.
Mr.. McFarland's decision is looked upon
as something remarkable. 1t will most
likely be appealed from.
