He is native of Woodville, Miss. where
he was born thirty years ago. At the age
of two years he was taken by his parents
to Dallas, Texas, where, in the public
schools of that city, he received his educa-
tion. In May, 1885, he was appointed to
the railroad postal service as clerk from
Denison to Taylor Texas, being the first
postal clerk appointed in Texas under a
Democratic administration. He left the
postal service in the fall of 1896 to accept
the position of superintendent of one Of the
street railroad lines in Dallas. He was
with the street railroad company about
one year, when he resigned to engage IN
the contracting business for homself hav-
ing secured contracts for the paving OF
some of the streets Of Waco. Texas He
followed this business with SUCCESS until
May, 1883, at which time he moved to San
Diego, Cal. He remained at San Diego
eighteen months, being in the grain and
feed business. He left San Diego in Sep
tember, 1859, to accept the position Of pay
ing teller in large bark of Dallas.Texas.
He resigned that position in 1892, having
made arrangements to return to California

ally escaped detection. 1t was due to ap-
proach us from the constellation of andre
media and the earth would cross its orbit
on the 9th of the month.
On the evening of that date a most ex
traordiary shower OF meteors came into ou1
atmosphere from radiant in Andromeda
Here, then, were the dismembered frag
ments, the very substance itself, of the
famous comet that had gone through 50
many vicissitudes during the previous halt
century, lavshly scattering its disinte-
grated particles in our midst, so that we
might know from personal contact, so to
speak, what a harmless thing one of those
flaming monsters of the sky proves to be
when captured and probed and anaIyzed by
science.
On the night of December 6, l79S, a shower
of many hundreds of meteors was noted in
Germany. They came as fast as six or seven
meteors a minute We enow know they were
bits of Biela's comet. A similar shower was
seen again on the evenings of December 6
and 7, 1898. On November q, 1872, few,
about 1000 an hour, were seen in this coun-
try, but from $4,000 TO 100000 were seen in
Europe.
On a corresponding date in 1885, a dense
star shower occurred, lasting about six
hours. The number visible at one place
at the time of the greatest density was esti-
mated at $4,000 meteors per hour, or 81
per second. On November %, 1892, three
days sooner than expected, there was brill
liant shower from the Andromeda radiant.
Whether that means that the Dielid meteor
stream has been swayed again from its com

stream has occurred, we cannot affirm till
we secure further data.
The period between the two brilliant
showers of 1872 and 1885 is thirteen years,
and as another critical period of thirteen
years has arrived, we ought to have fine
shower somewhere on the globe ON Sunday
evening, November u of this year.

As many persons were disappointed be-
cause the Leonids did not come in shower
this year, interest will doubtless flag in the
Forthcoming shower of Andromedes, for
this should be veritable shower, and the
lovers of startling effects may miss beau
tiful and brilliant display through inatten-
tion and Indifference. The story Of the
Andromedes is unique, and has elements OF
popular as well as scientific interest.
In l772 Frenchman named Montaigne
discovered telescope comet which proved
to have a short period of six and half
years. 1t was not seen again for thrty-three
years, when it was rediscovered by noted
astronomer named Pons, after having made
five revolutions in its long elliptieal orbit
around the sun, though its identity was not
recognized On this occasion it came so neal
the earth as to be visible to the naked eye
in moonlight.
In 1926 an Austrian officer named VIII

roll of fame by discovering a comet. 1t

tion OF its mass was wrenched from the re-
mainder by planetary attraction, or wheth-
er the rupture was due to repulsion or an
internal explosion, a sundering of the two
great masses by some action due to the
suns heat as the comet rushed down to-
wards that luminary, is still moot ques-
ton. That the division was radical is evi-
dent, for both of the halves projected tail,
and the two comets sailed off into space
100000 miles apart.
In 1852 the twin comets reappeared, 1850,
coo miles apart, but another accident over
took them in their absence. When they
passed the orbit of Jupiter that giant planet
was dangerously near their path and yield
ing to his powerful inhueh,', the tagging
comets were swayed from the orbit they had
been traversing for centuries, and their
node, that is, the point where they dip down
under the earth's orbit, was advanced from
December 9th to November 9th. But that
was not the only result: the inclination of
their orbit was reduced from II to II de.
grees, thus bringing the great comet into
still closer conformity with the earth's mo
ton.
When the twin comets finally passed out
of sight they were more than 100000 mile;
apart, and neither of the strange objects
have ever been seen since. But if they never
reappeared in their capacity of comets
shining sef-luminous in distant space, at
least one of them has manifested itself in
startling way, and added new and
strange chapter to its wonderful and event
full history.
In November, l772, Bieh's comet was due
the third time since its total disappearance
in 1852, and astronomers were on Keen
lsolout, hoping to catch glimpse of the er
ratio body, but it eluded the most careful

cometary visitors seen in l772 and 1905; and.
second, because its computed path around
the sun would bring it occasionally very
near the earth's orbit.
1t presented the appearance of round
cloud of nebulous light, almost as large as
the moon. This was the coma, 5000 miles
in diameter and the bright nucleus, 1l2
miles in diameter, looked ''like a light
shining through fog" Its velocity in diff
ferent portions of its orbit varied enormous
ly, beng twenty Eight miles per second at
pcrhiion, a little inside of the earth's or
bit, and only four miles per second at ap-
helion, about l00,0O0,000 miles beyond the
orbit of Jupiter. Its course was direct,
that is; in the same direction as that of the
earth, and consequently its velocity at
nearest approach was ten miles per second
higher than the earths velocity.
These facts should be borne in mind, for
they have an important bearing on subse-
quent events. Upon the next appearance
that it was rapidly approaching the earth,
and as its coma had expanded to diam
eter of $4,000 miles (six times that of the
earth) it was feared that it would strike this
planet with disastrous results, and panic
ensued. Would it set the world afre
Would it envelop us with noxious and
deadly gases. Would its nucleus plow
its way through continents and seas, leav-
ing destruction and annihilation in its path ?
1t was not known at that early period OF
comet investigation that these flaming and
portentous wanderers of the sky are as
harmless as sunset cloud, and that their
contact with the earth would be attended
with as little danger as the sparks issuing
from Fourth of July skyrocket. But the
great comet shot by and the painful sus-
pense was relieved.
1t was not seen again until lS45 and in
November of 1876 while astronomers all
over the world were watching it with in
tense interest, a strange thing happened

The New Mining Discovery I'm
Southwestern Nevada

Southwestern Nevada
Correspondence in Salt Lake Tri.
bune.l
SEARcHLIGHT, New, Nov. 5.-The
new discovery. .insouthwestern Nevada
is essentially similar in appearance
and mineral resources to the north
eastern portion of San Bernardlno
county, CAL, which it joins the boun-
Diary lines between them starting from
the extreme southern limit of Nevada,
running in q northwesterly direction.
Marvel, the terminus OF the California
railroad in San Bernardino county, is
the nearest railroad point, being twen-
ty-five miles southwest from Search
light. The camp. although young, is
one of the most prosperous mining
camps in this part OF the country. 1t
is twelve miles due west from the Col
orado river, and sixty miles north OF
the Needles, Cal. There are some old
workings, which have been discovered
four miles east from the new camp,
and is claimed we're done by Clinken
Smith some eighteen or twenty years
ago when he was in hiding. Let that
be as it may, the works show that they
were done years ago and are now
being opened up by Bowman and Nc
Crarry. They claim they have struck
some fine ore in Searchlight. There
are about eighty prospects, "a few OF
which are opened up to depth of 125
feet, showing some fine bodies OF very
high grade ore. q. +. Cotton, one OF
the largest owners in the district and
the discoverer OF the camp, has been
shipping ore which cost $50 to get it to
market. With the heavy costs OF
freights, etc., it has netted him good
profit. He is developing the mining
claims and paying for the work from
the proceeds received from his ship
ments. There are some boston cap
italists interested in the camp and
they are making preparations to erect
a 20.stamp mill on the Colorado river
at the most available point to the
camp.
The surface showings of Searchlight
are almost unequaled, some of the ore
assaying up in the thousands of dol
lars per ton. Nothing was known OF
the camp until last May, when G. F.
Cotton made shipment OF ore which
cleared him 1877 80 per ton. Then the
hot weather came and still the camp
continued to grow, and now they have
two stores, two saloons and one hotel.

Another Of EIko County's Growing
Towns.

Nevada State Herald: Wells has
enjoyed steady growth during the
past two years. In fact there are
more substantial buildings and lar
ger population here now than ever be-
fore in the history of the town. The
development Of the copper mines on
the north and the gold and silver
mines on the south, the large crops
and increase in the cattle business all
around us and the increased business
on the railroad have acted as a stimu-
lus TO our people and created new
avenues OF enterprise and trade. All
our merchants are laying in large
stocks OF goods for the Winter trade
and all are apparently enjoying lucra-
tive business, The hotels are among
the largest and best in the State and
each house is usually crowded. Drum
mers who have visited Wells during
the past few months say it is the live
liest town in Nevada. But our pros
poets for livelier times are encourag-
ing. The resumption of operations in
the Cherry Creek mines will un-
doubtedly lead to the construction OF a
railroad from Wells to Cherry Creek
and perhaps to points farther south.
In an interview with Superintendent
Joseph Farren of the Star mine one
day last week, an Ely News reporter
was informed that the Star mine is
producing in most satisfactory man.
ner, the mill is working lots Of ore and
everything is o. X. The foundations
OF the new mill will be finished on
Thursday, and then the erection OF q
building and placing OF machinery will
be pushed with all possible dispatch.
Men are working on the grade from
mine to mill. Teams are busy hauling
building materials, and this valuable
property. so ruinously managed in the
past, is now heavy producer. and ere
long will require railroad TO connect
with the Central Pacific to remove its
products.
