a total eclipse of the moon will oc-
cur January 18th, visible through
North and South America, The
eclipse will begin at 3:27 D. m. and
end at 9:ll p. m. Total eclipse will
begin at $50 and end at 7:O9 D. m
An interesting phenomenon will
occur on the same day the lunar
eclipse takes place. The moon will
be in conjunction with Saturn on the
@oth at . h. 28 m. a. M, being at that
time l 10 south of the planet. When
the eclispe occurs, Saturn will be
west of the moon, and in her near
vicinity, shining brightly while her
fair face is hidden from view. After
the eclipse is over, the moon with her
full round face, and Saturn, the even
ing star, only six days after opposi-
tion, will make picture fair to see.
Saturn may be readily recognized
for the twin stars Castor and Pullox
are on the northwest and Procyon is
on the southwest. He may also be
known by his soft, serene light and
by the absence of bright stars in his
immediate vicinity.

NOSE kEMPNER, mail contractor
on the Idaho City and Banner route,
started out from here last Saturday
morning about IL o'clock, for Banner,
with the mail. Nose stopped that
night at the China cabin on More
creek, six miles from this place. On
Sunday he went on to his place,
twenty three miles from here. Sun
day was the coldest day this, or any
other winter. He froze his toes and
fingers. Jack Newcomer, who came
in Tuesday with the mail, in Moses
place, says that although the toes
and fingers were pretty badly nipped
Nose will not come out minus any
of them. Mr.. Newcomer says that if
Moses would have had mile or two
more to make he could not have made
it but would have been forced to sue
cumb, so severe was the cold. He
has been snowshoeing on this route a
great many years, and this is the
closest call he has ever had. Nose
is small man, and has been long
time on earth, and passed through
more hardships than anybody since
the early days of this county, and is
yet the toughest piece of human
makeup in all creation. Sunday
was by far the coolest day ever
known in this county, and yet Moses
scaled the high and bleak More
Creek summit and got through to hi'
ranch, over the toughest part of the
route, and he still lives, and is no
much the worse for his perilous trip
