THE TAIL OF A COMET.
How a California Man Chased It
Through the Streets.

Through the Streets.
From the San Frdncfsco Examiner.
ALAMEDA, Dec. 1.-Comets have been
flirting their tails in the face of this earth
and meteoric showers have been disturbing
the atmosphere, but it remained for an
Alameda man to chase piece OF that comet
through the streets
1t was on Sunday morning at o'clock
that Walter Hoge, one of Alameda's solid
citizens, was standing at his window watch
ing the meteoric showers that had been
promised for that time. Mr.. Hoge had heen
up all night waiting for the sky to clear
that he might view the meteors. The clouds
that had blown away earlier in the night
were commencing to blow up again, and
the heavy storm that did 30 much damage
was just commencing.
The rain was falling slightly, and Mr..
Hoge was about to turn away from the
window, when there was flash of light,
followed by pronounced report
FIERY METEOR.
A ball of fire as large as hogshead fell to
the street not more than 200 feet away. MIR.
HoGe was startled. He called 10 bis wife
who had gone to another room, but in his
excitement he forgot to wait for a reply and
started on run after the burning ball of
fire.
IuSuGu tHo EOOIls QOWu Tue QlRlL
Of stairs aud barehead started to the spot
where the section of the comet or the me-
teor had struck" said Mr.. Hoge, and he
spoke in all seriousness. "The ball of fire
was still burning brightly in one spot. It
was of a purple hue and burned so fercely
that the street was illuminated as brightly
as though the electric light tower was run
ming full force. It was but 100 feet away
when suddenly a gust of wind started 1t
rolling eastward.
ut rolled like ball of fire." continued
Mr.. Hoge, land l started after it. IL went
at rapid rats, and quickened my speed.
But it was too speedy for me, and after a
quarter Of mile chase l abandoned the
race. The ball of fire diminished somewhat
as it drifted along, and was finally waited
around The corner of Walnut street and
lost it,"
NO SIGNS IN THE MORNING.
Mr.. Hoge returned to his home greatly
disappointed. He had seen a section of the
tail OF the comet, and was not able TO see il
at closer range than 100 feet.
But there is no doubt about il, :" said Mr.
Hoge 81 saw the fash of fire, and It re-
NAMED burning in the center of the street
for fully minute. My great regret is that
did not run for it the very moment it fell. u
Mr.. Hoge went to bed, but the interven-
ing hours till daylight were restless. He
arose to endeavor to learn more of the Sec
ton Of the strange heavenly body. There
was no hole 10 the macadam. Only slight
residue Of ashes remained and it was only
| indistinctly traced along the avenue show
ing how the ball Of fire had rolled in zig gag
fashion as it was waited away by the in-
creasing strength Of the gale.

GETTING INTO MARKET
Another Ship to Load Blue Canyon
Coal for San Francisco
INCREASING THE OUTPUT
The Company to Open Yards in San
Francisco-Governmen Tests
to Be Made

j. H. Bloedel returned yesterday
morning from Port Townsend whittier
he went to charter a ship to load a
cargo of coal for the San Francisco
market at the Blue Canyon bunkers.
While there he secured the ship High
lander, which is expected to arrive this
morning. She recently arrived at Port
Townsend from Chile and is a vessel
of 1000 tons burden.
During his recent visit to San Fran
cisco Mr.. BlOedel made partial arrange
ments for opening in that city an office
and yard for the company which he
will complete when the Highlander ar.
rives there with her cargo. He reports
that the coal market there is improv
ing. The stocks in the yards are getting
low and but little foreign coal is coming
in owing to the low rate of wheat char
ters. He disposed of the entire cargo
of the bark Peters and the coal is givinl
excellent satisfaction. The Southern
Pacific Railroad Company, which con
sumes about 10000 tons of coal pei
month, purchased quantity of tn,
Blue Canyon product and is now test
ing its steaming qualities. When tn,
goods are fully established in San Fran
cisco the company will send there abou
three cargoes per month. The com
pany now has orders for over 5000 toni
of coal ahead, to fill which the force a
the mine is being largely increased
Today $50 tons will be shipped to Ever
EFT. While in Port Townsend Mr.
Bloedel took an order for 400 tons fo
the new nail works there to be shipped
next week.
The revenue cutter Wolcott has re
ceived orders from the department T.
make tests of the Blue Canyon coal
which will undoubtedly y result in heay,
government orders in the near future
The Canadian Pacific Railway Com
pany is now making tests of this Goa
and on the 23d inst. a party of official
of the company will arrive to look owe
the mine with view to asceruainin
its capacity for supplying coal in sufl
cient quantities.

JIM wARDNERs LATEST DEAL
He Purchases Half Interest in An
other SLOGAN Bonanza

He Purchases a Half Interest in An
other SLOGAN Bonanza
The Kaslo-Slocan Examiner of the
18th inst. contains the following of
interest to Jim Wardner's many friends
in this city:
Among the number of visitors to our
city during the past week were: J. f.
Mcknight and +. +. Whittier, from
Seattle. Mr.. McNaught Is one of the
largest owners of Seattle real estate and
is one of the originators of the city of
Anacortes, beside being interested with
his brother, James Mcknight, the gen.
eral attorney of the Northern Pacific
railroad in numerous enterprises, such
as the Blue Canyon coal mine and the
Mountain Goat Mining Company, both
of which are now being worked on a
large scale. Il. +. Whittier is the pres
ident of the Union Trunk Lines OF Sc
attic, a system Of cable and electric rail-
roads. Both gentlemen have spent
nearly week looking after invest
ments in Slocan mines and Kaslo town
property. They managed to keep their
operations 50 quiet that their presence
was scarcely known in town, and our
reporter met them just on the moment
of their departure on the steamer Nell
son for Seattle via Nakusp. Asking
Mr.. Mcknight what he thought OF
what he had found he said: We
believe from a thorough investigation
of the different ambitious towns in this
vicinity, that Kaslo certainly has the
best future, and that they backed their
opinion by investing i'm large number
of Kaslo town lots, having closed for
the same through the agency of Frank
Hughes, who has recently been doing
land Office business in town property
and who is conceded to be perfectly
reliable and good judgment as to real
estate value"
When asked what disposition they
proposed to make Of the property ac-
quired, he said: at Is barely possible
that we will erect a substantial business
block upon two of the lots upon Front
street, with stores on the ground floor
and offices overhead" As the steamer
was about to leave it was impossible Il
learn anything further from either OF
these two gentlemen, but upon further
inquiries among the knowing ones il
was ascertained that before leaving
here they had bought half interest In
the Idaho mine, and have formed 8
strong company with Messrs. J. f
Wardner and Il. G. Cove for the i'm
mediate working on a grand scale o
the mine. 1t is expected that larg'
amount of ore will be gotten out durinl
the winter months, which is to b.
stored at Kaslo during the close of nav
igation. 1t is evident that with tn
large experience Messrs. Cove AM
Wardner have in mines and mining
and the amount of capital Messrs. NJ
Naught and Wittler have at thei
command, that this will be one of tn
strongest combinations in the Sloca
district. And thus the march {
progress continues, and with such con
binations being formed almost ever
week, is 1t to be wondered why Kasl

A Lighthouse Wrecked

LONDON, Nov. 1S-A serious accident
happened today in the Belfast Tough
lighthouse No. 2, near the entrance to
the lough, which is built Of wood and
not a very heavy structure. The steam
ship Midway was proceeding on her
way without paying attention to the
lighthouse with which the steamer
suddenly came in collision. Instead OF
the steamer being wrecked the light
house was wrecked and toppled over
into the sea. The lighthouse, fortu'
nately, did not sink but tlOated, while
the inmates shouted for help. The
crew of the Midway fastened to lower
boats and rowed to where the light
house was floating. Two inmates Of
the lighthouse were drowned and two
were rescued alive.
