Wave Motion In Ether.

The tendency of science at the present
time is to refer many or all of the common
forms of energy to wave motions in the
ether, hypothetical medium much finer
than ordinary matter and permeating it as
water permeates sponge or the frame
work of wooden pier. Thus both light
and heat were first shown to be n wave mo-
ton In the ether More recently Clerk
Maxwell, the great Scotch physicist and
mathematician, who organized the Cayen-
dish laboratory at Cambridge, and Helm
rich Herr, the famous German investigator,
have proved, one theoretically, the other
practically, that some, If not all, electrical
and magnetic phenomena are due to wave
motions in the ether, only differing from
those Of light and heat by the great length
of the wave.-London Globe.

Fish From Sahara Desert Wells.

The statement has been frequently made
that many of the new artcsian wells ON
the desert of Sahara occasionally eject
small fish. This statement, which has
been generally discredited, has been proven
to be true by NJ. Dcsor, the Swiss natural
ist After his return from trip of explo-
ration in north Africa, M. Desor wrote as
follows: 81 found hundreds Of fish in the
streams leading from the wells out into
the sands. 1t is impossible that they should
come from any place else than from out of
the wells, for the water Is not in commu-
nication with any basin, creek or river
The fish saw Mt the oasis of Ain Tala
belong to the family of carps. The most
curious thing respecting them is that, al
though coming from depth of from any
place between goo and 500 feet, they are
not sickly or misshapen and have large
and perfectly formed eyes. This Is con-
trary to the general rule, such creatures
from subtcrrancan waters usually being
totally devoid of the organs of sight. - :

a FISHERMAN'S BAlK1 HORSE.
The One Occasion on Which tho Animal
Found Master.

II once knew fisherman" said the
speaker, "who had horse that baked on
all sorts of occasions, and when he stopped
nothing on earth could movc him till he
got ready to go. He might STOP for in
stance, going along the shore with a wag-
on load of fish, and then the fisherman
would unlock him and back the wagon
sway from him, SO that he couldn't kick
that to pieces, and leave him standing
there like statue on the beach. When the
horse was ready to go on again, which
might be in an hour, he would hook him
up again and start on.
"Onc day the fisherman came in with q
load of fish In his boat and got his horse
and wagon to take the fish ashore He
drove out In the shoal water alongside the
boat, loaded the fish into the wagon, made
everything snug aboard the boat and then
got into the wagon to drive ashore The
horse stood fast. The fisherman knew we'll
enough what that meant, and he hauled
the boat up alongside the wagon again
put back all the fish, anchored the boat
safely and waded ashore, leaving the horse
and wagon standing there in the water
The fisherman said nothing, but it was
low tide, and he did wonder little what
the horse would do when the tide came in
There was n barroom ON shore not far
away, and sitting in this barroom at the
time were half dozen men who all knew
the horse we'll, and who made bets MS to
what he would do, whether he'd stand
there and drown rather than give in, or
whether he'd come ashore, and how long
he'd wait before he started, and so on.
Finally the tide set the wagon afloat,
and then it took the horse off his feet. He
edged inshore little ut that, till he'd
found his feet again, and then he stood
fast once more. But the tide kept coming,
and 1t soon had him off his feet again. 1t
was simply something that he couldn't re-
sist, and after two or three more trials
moving In and halting and being lifted
off his feet he seemed to realize that fact.
for the next time he floated he kept straight
on wading till he got ashore, and then he
ran away.
"You might have thought that this ex-
perience would have cured him of baking,
but it didn't. 1t never had the slightest
effect on him. He baked after that Just
the same as ever but 1 have always
Thought that it must have been satisfac-
ton to the fisherman to think that the
horse had found a master once anyway"

HardscrnhbIe Notes.

The Morgan Gold Mining and Milling
company is doing extensive work on
its property. The main tunnel running
east is in $50 feet. The ore vein was
tapped in this tunnel at about 500 feet
The average width of the GRE vein is
six feet
There are three veins on the claim,
two clipping east at an angle of about
90 degrees. The course of the veins is
north and south. One vein was en-
countered while eXcavating for the mill
and the south tunnel has been headed
east in order to tap the ore discovered
at the mill. This tunnel will also be
brought to the surface at the mill in
order to serve a double purpose, that
of tapping the ore deposit and for fur
niShing air.
About fifty feet more tunneling will
be necessary to strike the outcrop vein
from the present end of the main tun-
mel
An air shaft has been sunk at the in
tersection of the tunnel to a depth of
$50 feet.
About forty men are at present en-
ployed on the mine and mill, and the
owners are now preparing for a run of
ore, which it is thought can be made
by the LIST of April
The ore will be reduced by the Brown
& Bergen process. The capacity of the
mill is about seventy-five tons daily,
and the cost of milling the rock is es-
timated at S1.45 per ton; the cost of
mining and milling about 81 per ton.
The ore contains nickel, cobalt, bis
muth, gold and platinum, and the own
ers are confident that the property
will yield handsome returns.
Should the rock return anything like
what it at present promises, this prop
erty will undoubtedly prove Of inn
mense value.
The mines are located about ten
miles south of Morgan with good road
all the way
Mr.. Moore. who is very conservative
on such matters, is confident that if the
ore will average even $40 per ton this
mine will soon be one of the heaviest
producers in the state, while the per-
manency of the district is unques-
toned.
A new town has been plated, which
will likely be called charlottesville

DIR. David Kennedy and wife, of
Kingston, New York, are in the city.
with the intention of remaining here
several weeks. during which time they
expect to visit the mining camps of
Eureka, Park City and Mercur.
DR.. kennedy who is one Of the
largest manufacturers of patent medi-
cines in the United States, and who is
well known throughout the west on ac-
count of the interest he has mani
tested in various mining enterprises,
is fortunately stakeholder in the
Centennial-Eureka Mining company.
In conversation with a Herald re-
porter yesterday, DR.. Kennedy stated
that he would attend the meeting of
the stockholders of the company which
will be held tomorrow for the purpose
of ratifying the action of the board of
directors in which it gave an option on
the Centennial Eureka mine to an
eastern syndicate, but" said he. IF
the balance of the stockholders are
willing to consent to this, l will join
with them; but personally would just
as soon hold my stock, as / consider it
a safe and good investment.
-Four or FIVE years ago. said the
doctor, Il purchased 800 shares of Cen
tennial- Eureka stock at $3.50 a share.
Since then I have received back the
purchase price and $1,000 besides in
dividends. The mine is a good one,
and the management is excellent"
Besides the Centennial Eureka, the
doctor owns stock in the Ontario, DAILY
and Silver King mines, in Park City,
and he is we'll satisfied with these in
vestments, as he believes that there is
a great future in store for these pro-
perties, especially as he is of the opin
ion that the worst of our hard times
are over, and that silver is bound to
come to the front again. 1t was dur
ing the slump in the white metal a
few years ago, and when the majority
of our silver mines were not pay
ing a cent. that the doctor bought
the heaviest, which demonstrated his
nerve and the confidence he had in
the future
Mrs. Kennedy is also enthusiastic,
when il comes to mining, and during
previous visits to Utah has made a
personal inspection of the underground
workings of the Ontario and Daily
mines at Park City and the Bullion
Beck. at Eureka; and, before return
ing home, it is her intention to see
for herself the rich ore bodies in the
Centennial-Eureka mine, and also to
take a look at the mines of Mercur.
DR.. Kennedy is in favor of a small
capitalization in the formation of min
ing companies, as far as the number
of shares is concerned, and he ex-
presses the belief that mining compan-
les would meet with more favor in the
east if they were more conservative in
this resDeci

in the Cyanide Process.
Hon William Mccullough, who is
heavily interested in New Zealand
mines, registered at the Cullen yes
terday He meant to leave for the
east today, but after hearing the way
the Mercur ores were worked he de-
cided to stay over and go out to the
camp today. In New Zealand he
said. I'VE grind the ore to a very fine
powder, put this in watts and run the
cyanide through, but if l understand
correctly you leave the ore here as big
as a mans thumb and then work it.
We know nothing about a system of
that kind in New Zealand. therefore
wish to go to Mercur. Our boom in
New Zealand mines is constantly ex-
panding and we are bound to have a
wonderful output in a very short time.
The cyanide process works to perfec-
ton on clean ores, and l am greatly
gratified at the success we've had
I'd like to nave time to visit all of
your camps, but it will be impossible
for me to do so, I'm sorry to say, and
