GOLD AND WATER.

Surveying PARTIES indicating Their: To-
.+-. cation.
Professor S. II. Thompson, United States
Geographeri in charge Of the Western Divis-
ion of the national Typographical work,
the territory west OF the 100 meridian, is at
the Occidental and il making an inspectoral
tour Of the work performed by the geologi-
cal parties now operating in the Pacific
States. p:
80 Prior to 1S79,9 said Professor Thomp-
son yesterday, =" there were no maps in
the United States of sufficient accuracy
for; purposes of geological study. In
that year The Geological Survey was
organized. and the Typographical work
Is the first care of the field biologists Our
researches are in the interests of science,
our first and greatest consideration being to
prepare material which may be employed In
the development of the economic interests
of the country.
"Our primary object is investigation not
discovery, and we are now examining
natural formations with q view to practical
results, We aim to benefit both the miner
and the agriculturist, the former by locating
and describing the localities where gold
bearing minerals exist, and to aid the farmer
by indicating the extent and situation OF the
artesian belts and so enable him to procure
an abundant water supply. There are now
10hr parties WORKING In the go!Q-DeaElng re-
gions of California and three In San Diego
County looking for arteslan. districts.
The mars showing the results Of these
Investigations vary in size. one representing
the gold region in Grass Valley and Nevada
City, an area of about twelve square miles,
being drawn ON a scale of 1900 feet to the
inch, and the average agricultural map be-
ing on the scale ofstwo miles: to the inch.
Several additional sheets of California's
topography are now in the hands of the pub
lie printer and will probably be published
before the end of the year"

WOLFS COMET.
II Will Pass Through the Pleio
AIDES TO-MOrrOw and Next Day.

VOLTS comet, whose return was first an
nounced from the Lick Observatory on May
Sd, last, will pass through the Pleiades to-
morrow morning, September 4th, at 3:15
o'clock, Mount Hamilton time, aud again
September 5th. at O'Clock in the afternoon.
The comet will not pass over any of the
brightest stars but will, pretty certainly,
transit the two bright stars Asterope and
Pleione. 1t win also, perhaps, partly tran
sit the second star of Asterope at about
8 o'clock in the morning of September 9TH.
The principal interest in this phenomenon
will be the probable occultation of some Of
the considerable stars. The passage of a
comet in front of star cannot properly be
called an occultation, for the reason that
the star does not disappear when the comet
passes over it Occutations or transits fire.
Quenty occur, but it is quite seldom that
any but small stars lie directly in the path
of the comet. Atpresent, nothing is known
of the mass and density Uf these cometary
bodies. If the light of star In
passing through cometary matters should
be Tefracted, as in passing through
our atmosphere, 1t would be pos
sible to arrive at some definite idea
with reference to the density of the comet.
1t could be determined by accurate measure
ments of the relative position of a star be-
fore, during and after the transit Of the
comet in front of it. The passage of VOLTS
comet will give the astronomers an OppOr-
Lunity to test this problem, and in this sense
it is an event of more than ordinary interest
Australian astronomers will have an oppor-
tunity of Witnessing the central occultation
of nine and a half magnitude star about
noon" SeDtember 9th. 30. .

which is the erection by himself of

EIGHTY csNrs A roN.

Some two years ago NJ. +. Leech
bought the Last Chance mine, one
mile north Of Flint. aud since then
has been dcvising a method 70 work
the ores. Last fall he leased the
mill from the Nebraska ownees, at
the same time securing an option
on the entire Flint property for
$500, 900, and began experimenting
TO save the value in the rock. He
put in a battery Of ten stamps and
a number Of small jig concentrators,
and has experimental for several
months. The results have been
sufficiently satisfactory 10 warrant
him to decide 10 take the property
on his option and proceed to make
permanent Improvements on the
mill. All of the old machinery. cx-
cept the power, has been taken out
Of the mill and discarded, the bat
terry, at first put up on the ground
floor, has been removed TO the floor
where the rolls were formerly To-
Gated, and the mill arranged for adj
ding forty more stamps. for which
number there is ample room. The
ore from the crusher runs into bin
from whence il drops into Hendy
automatic feeders and Ia fed TO the
battery. 1t ia discharged from the
battery through sixty mesh screens,
placed eight inches above the dies,
onto the jig tables. The tailings
from the jigs run over an incline
table, covered with canvass where a
portion of the remaining value lie
saved, thence. on second table and
so on indefinitely until the loss in
the tailings is reduced to a mini
mum. At~ the present time only
two tables are used, but two more
will be added. The loss now in the
tailings, working thirty-dollar ore,
is about eight dollars, accruing
chiefly from a percentage of rosin
zinc which the ore carries. The
present cost Of milling the ore is
something less than two dollars per
ton; but with five times as many
stamps at work and the machinery
perfected, Mr.. Seely, who has charge
Of the mill. estimates the cost can
be reduced to about eighty cents
per ton.-DeLamar Nugget.
