SKY WAS oBSCURED.
Clouds Prevent Observations 1
Chicago Monday Night.

Chicago, Nov. 1.-THE rain last night
and early this morning dampened the
enthusiasm of DR.. Kurt Laves and 9TH
er professors and students AZ the Uni
versity of Chicago, who had planned to
watch for the first appearance of the
swarm of meteors. The first leonid OF
the meteoric shower noticed in Chicago
was discovered by Dr. Laves about 4
O'Clock Sunday morning. He made two
observations of fifteen minutes each.
and in one saw a meteor which he said
was astray in advance of the general
shower.
Professor Hough. director of Dear
born observatory at Northwestern uni
versity will, with a corps of scientific
professors, make elaborate observations
of the meteoric shower tomorrow morn
ing, if conditions permit.
At Williams Bay, Wis. the special
apparatus for observing and photo
graphing the great meteoric shower is
in place on the roof of the Yerkes OBJ
servatory. The new twenty four-inch
rejecting telescope is set and sixteen
cameras of varying sizes and angles
are ranged around it so as 10 cover
teors are most likely TO appear.
Professor Barnard has spent con-
siderable time for few nights search
ing for the Ephemerides of the meteor
ic cloud The position of this cloud in
our sky has been quite accurately de-
terrained. The main body should now
be entering the constellation Leo. If
the swarm is compact enough it should
appear in the sky as a faint comet or
nebula. or rather a nebulous streak
across the sky.
Though he has searched carefully
with the big Yerkes telescope, the pro-
fessor has not yet discovered anything
which he could identify as the meteoric
cloud. In his search. Professor Bar
nard has discovered new nebulae and
one seen last night is exactly in the
spot where meteors should be. This
signifies nothing. however unless on
further observations he neblla is found
to have moved. The sky last night was
totally obscured with clouds

months since. With these exceptional

Northwest. This Is his first trip here for
several months and he was naturally sur.

been effected In so short time. Speak.

any idea Il would arrive so soon. In fact,

this healthy boom would materialize. But
there is still a chance to make money In

quarters Is II now higher than conditions

have done, and that is putting the case

Mr.. johnson, OF course, doesn't talk

stated while here that the ores and con.
centrates from the Sumpter district net
the shippers more money than Is paid for
either from any other mining section Of
the world reached by the business Of the

says that wherever he goes, Sumpter is
the topic Of conversation among mining
men; that the people here don't yet seem
to realize how far and wide the fame of
this district has already spread, or the
magnitude Of the stampede which has
started this way. .a--,---s...-
