The new comet discovered by an anna
teur observer at Salt Lake City 10 visible
to the naked eye in the northwest part
Of the heavens. Professor Davidson of
San Francisco describes its position as
follows; 1.-THE Great Bear at Q p. m. is
nearly west of the north pole. and il a
vertical line be dropped from the main
part of the Great Bear to the horizon, the
comet will be found on that line about
IL degrees above the horizon at Q p. m,
Il 10 the lowest star visible in that part
Of the heavens. The comet is Just close
to the two stars Iota and Kappa Of the
Great Bear, and the tail extends through
two degrees Of arc and is close to the
right hand side Of the former Of the two
stars"

ANNUAL ASSESSMENT WORK.


The following from the Mining and
Scientific Press is Of interest to mine
owners and will meet the hearty approval
of good many, while Others will
dissent:
Notwithstanding the fact that thou.
sands of mines all over the West must
remain idle for some time to come, owing
to the decrease in the value of silver and
lead, the law requires that annual expen.
diture shall be made on all of them.
whether worked or not, unless govern.
ment patent has been granted. A CORES
pendent, in letter in another column,
makes the suggestion that an effort be
made to have this provision of the min
ing laws suspended for the present, in
view of the situation. Men of promi.
hence in the mining industry would be
benefited themselves, and the smaller
mine-owners would be grateful for their
help. 1t is not only the mere actual out.
lay of the mine itself, but the cost of the
assessment work is greatly added to in
many cases by the distance from the rail.
road. Under present conditions there is
no earthly use doing anything on these
mining claims. yet the work has to be
done else the claim and all expenditure
on it up to date is lost. 1t mast be con.
fessed it is very difficult to make Congress
pay much attention to the mining laws,
or force upon it knowledge Of any evils
which may exist in them; yet, if united
effort be made under the present circum.
stances, there may be some hope of
accomplishing this"

building fifty-one miles between Wander

Others hold to the opinion, however. that
the road is to connect at Glover Valley

between the Junction and Good Springs

miles, and has been fairly successful.
As socn as President Blake raises the

through. It would meet the main line
at Good Springs, New. If this scheme
succeeds. railway from Salt Lake to the
Coast will be an earlier possibility than

Thomas Taylor of Cedar. Iron county,
was in Salt Lake City Saturday. Mr..
Taylor's object in visiting Salt Lake at
this time is to interest capitalists there in
q railroad extension from tho proposed
line from Salt Lake to The Needles.
The Union Pacific has already graded
the Frisco branch of that line as far as
Phoebe, New. This brings the two ex.
tensions from either direction close to.
gether. Mr.. Taylor thinks this road
will be built beyond doubt, and com.
pleted through to either Milford or
Frisco. A branch line from this
road to Cedar City, Iron county. Mr..
Taylor says, would be paying invest.
ment. 1t would open up rich country,
the coal and iron product being espe.

the railroads. 1t is also good agricul.

Mr.. Taylor has faith in his proposition,
and If the line from Salt Lake to Southern
California proves the successful scheme
that it's promoters hope and expect it
will. the Iron county extension would
appear to be desirable adjunct to It.
