Proctor considers it mistake to re-
gard the now star in the Andromeda
nebula US supporting the ncbular ny
pothesis OF Laplacc. as that celebrated
guess at world-origins calls only for
changes in nebulous matter SO slow as
to be impcrceptiDle. The real truth
taught by the sudden bursting forth Of
this star is that tho Andromeda ncbu-
Ia is not, as many astronomers sup
pose. vast galaxy of brilliant suns SO
distant as not to be receivable by the
most powerful telescopes, but that it is
simply star-coud forming a part OF
our own galaxy or universe. And what

probably SO of others, SO that it. may

A Carson, Nevada, correspondent
writes to the Sacramento Bee as fol-
lows: Last winter and spring there
resided in Carson Il prospector named
I. j. Bradley. When he came here
no had some money. aud he spent il
lavishly. lie owned a mine near Haw.
thornc, E,mcralda county, and when
his money was gone he went out to do
his annual assessment work. He gave
to Messrs. Knapp q Laws and John
Forbes, Of Hawthorne, 500 feet of the
1900 feet which constituted the mine,
for grub stake" In short timc
he uncovered very rich ledge. Last
Tuesday H. NJ. Ycrington, supcrin-
tcndent of the Virginia and Truckcc
and Carson and Colorado. visited the
mine, and gave him $4,000 for 500
feet, and the next day Archie Faring
ton. the principal owner OF the rich
and productive mines "f Garfield. gave
him S25. 00O for the remaining 500 feet.
Several experts have visited the prop
erty, and they all pronounce it the
richest gold discovery ever made in
Nevada.
An old resident of Esmeralda county
tells me that in little more than six
years Bradley has sold mines in that
county for various sums aggregating
$95, 900. He is really one of the lucki-
est prospectors in the world. All that
he has to do, apparently, when he gets
broke is to 60 out into the hills and
strike mine that brings him from
80, 900 to $35, 900. According to his
informant, he differs somewhat from
the general run of prospectors, in that
he possesses little bit OF fruyality. 1t
is said that whenever he sells mine
he sends the bulk of his money to his
mother in Ireland. holding out thous-
and or so for II big time with the boys.
He paints everything in sight red until
his purse is empty, and then he runs in
debt for as much more rs he plcascs.
When he thinks it is time to brace up
he shoulders his prospecting tools and
starts out in the mountains, and moth
ing more is heard of him until he has
valuable mine.
