The Point of
No Longitude
How Time Is Measured IN the Great
Greenwich Observatory.

Doubtless every student of geogra
ply has had his curiosity aroused
regarding Greenwich observatory
whence longitude is reckoned and
where the world sets it's timepieces;
and has been DESTROYS of learning
more about the dwelling place Of
Longitude naught" and the chrome.
meter that regulates the clocks of the
world The purpose of this article is
to crafty such curiosity; and to de-
scribe, briefly, some of the wonders of
the great observatory.
The most important room of the
whole observatory is the transit room.
Four broad stone pillars occupy the
greater part of the space of this room.
Two of these pillars are tall, as well
as broad and massive. They stand
east and west of the center of the
room and carry between them the
transit circle. Here is the home of
Longitude naught"; for the optical
axis of the great telescope of the tran
sit circle marks the exact spot crossed
by the prime meridian of the world
Two other telescopes are in the room,

bright point of silver light comes NOV
ing quickly, steadily onward. The
watchers hand now seeks the side Of
the telescope till his finger finds a lit
tile button, over which it rests ready
to strike. On comes the star without
haste, without rest till it reaches one
of the cleaning threads. Tap! The
finger falls sharply on the button. In
three or four seconds later the star
has reached another thread. Tap!
Again the button is struck; and so on
until the ten threads have been
passed and the transit is over
Now what have the finger taps
done? Each tap completed, for an in
slant, an electric circuit and recorded
a mark on the chronometer. This is
a large metal cylinder covered with
paper, and turned by carefully regu-
lated clock once in every two minutes.
"A similar mark is made once in every
two seconds by a current sent by
means of the standard siderial clock
of the observatory. If, then, one Of
the clock dots and one OF the Observ-
er's dots come exactly side by side, It
is known at what precise second the

one to the north and one to the south
of the transit circle, mounted on the
two remaining pillars and both On the
line of the optical axis of the transit
circle.
There are two somewhat different
senses in which the meridian of
Greenwich is the standard meridian Of
nearly the entire world. 1t constitutes
the fundamental line whence dis
tances east and west are measured;
and it gives the time to the world.
| 1t will be interesting to note how
time is found.
The great telescope already de-
scribed as occupying the center OF the
transit room, is very solidly mounted.
It's pivots are supported by the pair
of great stone pillars, whose founda-
tons go deep down under the surface
of the hill; and it turns but in one
plane that of Longitude naught." On
the west side of the telescope, and
lrigidly connected with it, is a large
wheel, with a number Of wooden
handles fastened to it, like the steer
| ing-wheel of a large steamer. This
wheel carries the setting circle, which
is engraved on a band of silver let
into the face and back of the wheel
near it's circumference. Eleven mi
croscopes penetrate through the pier,
and are directed at the circle on the
back of the wheel. These are the in
struments used in finding time.
Time is usually determined by the
watching of passing stars. The stars
are used for this purpose, because
they are many and the sun is but one.
If clouds hide the sun at noon, the
only time when it can be observed to
determine time, a day is lost; but if
one star is covered by a cloud there
are still many others that can be OBJ
served. Star transits can be taken
at various times throughout the day
and night, while the sun can be used
only once a day.
About two minutes before the APP
pointed time the operator takes his
place at the eye-piece of the telescope
AS he looks in he sees a number of
vertical lines across his field of view.
These are spired-threads placed in the
focus Of the eye-piece. Presently a

lstar was on one of the wires, as the
spider threads are called If the OBJ
servers dot comes between two clock
dots, it is easy, by measuring its dis
Itance from them with a dividing
lscale, to tell the instant the star was
on the wire to the tenth part OF a Sec
ond. Since the transit was taken
lover ten wires and the distance of
each wire from the center of the field
of view is known, practically ten sepa-
rate observations have been made.
and the average of these gives the
time of transit.
At the observatory there is a great
registers "a hours in the precise time
that the earth rotates once on it's
axis, or the time when a given star
would again appear on fixed merid-
ian. Hence, since the exact time is
known when the star ought to be on
the meridian, this clock can be read
lily checked by the observations of
star transit.
The error of the clock is determined
twice day, shortly before 10 o'clock
in the morning and shortly before
o'clock in the afternoon. These two
times are chosen because, at 10 and
1 O'Clock signals are sent to all the
great provincial centers. Also at
o'clock the time ball at Greenwich and
at Deal are dropped, so that the cap
tains of ships within sight of the drop
ping-mast may set their chronometers.
Thus is time found and regulated at
the great observatory.
There is little of the picturesque or
sensational in the regular routine
work of the observatory. The daily
observation of the sun and of many
stars-called clock stars, the deter
mination of the error of the standard
clock and its correction twice a day,
the sending out of time signals, the
care, winding and rating of hundreds
of chronometers and the determine
ton, from time to time, of the eaxct
longitude of foreign and colonial cit
les make a ceaseless round of work.
Yet there is a charm in it all to those
who delight in the handling OF deli
cate and exact instruments which
renders it's dreary routine fascinating.

iding, copper is likely to be the
predominating metal in this in
stance, as very fine chalcopyrite
ore has been found wherever this
deposit has been opened to any
extent.
This property has been under
going improvement lately, 1t has
considerable development, but
mostly of a shallow nature, and
at no place has the upper surface
of ground water level been reach
ed, as yet. The property is of
good promise, and if developed
at depth, there is very strong
probability that extensive shoots
of high grade copper-gold ore
will be encountered.

should feel proud of the man that
made the record.
Since the statehood bill has
been disposed Of in the senate,
Senator Heyburn's pure food bill
has been taken up and made the
unfinished business. AS chair
man of the committee on manu-
factures, he has been working on
this bill ever since he came to
the senate, and it is considered
quite a victory for him in view of
the opposition that he has at last
succeeded in getting it before
the shnate, He is hopeful that
the bill will be disposed Of during
the present session, however the
Swayne impeachment trial, which
occupies the majar portion of the
senate, mayprevent the consider
alton of the pure food bill or any
other new legislation.

Another ProdigaE Returned.

w. w. Smith returned to Elk
City last week after an absence
of IA years, during which time
he has prospected in every state
on the coast as we'll as the noun
tain states, from British Colum-
bia to the Mexican line; but, said
he, Il have seen nothing that
would begin to size up with the
Elk City district as l remember
it. There were a number Of good
lodges uncovered even as far
back as that time, but lack of
transportation shut them out
from consideration as an invest
ment. This was before the days
Of wagon roads. AS it is, you
are creating such a stir outside
that some pretty big men are
coming in to see what it is all
about

pretty good things which he is
now going to dig up as soon IS

domestic, which curse, next to
inadequate transportation, has
been chiefly responsible for the
backwardness in development by
soaring capital stiff with the
time honored cry, 'the ore bodies
don't go down." This latest
strike, however, will show that
this one "goes down" far enough
to show several hundred thousand
dollars worth Of ore in sight at
any rate, and will go far to prove
to the satisfaction of a skeptical
public that the future greatness
of the Elk City district does not
rest wholly upon her great low
grade ore bodies, or dykes.
1t is Mr.. Smiths intention to
ship a car load of ore to Tacoma
for a smelter test, after which
there will no doubt be interesting
developments in and around Elk
City.

S. w. Smith, owner of the fa-
nous Buster mine, was showing
some very rich specimens of gold
ore on the streets of Elk City this
week. He stated that it came
from the ore shoot recently open
ed by the lower tunnel at a point
short distance beyond the mouth
of the upper tunnel, and has at
this point a vertical depth of
about 200 feet. This property is
among the best known in Idaho
county and has been held by the
present owner over twenty years,
during which time he has, single
handed, done a great deal of de-
velopment work, and secured
patent on the Buster and several
contiguous claims.
The property in common with
the entire section of central Ida
ho, has suffered at the hands of

perienced a season of hard luck,
including a disastrous fire, which
destroyed the buildings over the
mouth of their long tunnel that
gave three men employed in the
face of it a close call to being
smothered by smoke, who were
only saved by the quick action of
one of the miners who had fought
fire under ground before, in build
ing a temporary bulkhead across
the tunnel. The lack of power
retarded the coveted connection
from this lower tunnel with the
rich ore bodies shown in the up
per works.
"Plans are being formulated
for the incorporation of the St.
Paul-Alhambra group, on which
it is expected extensive develop
ment work will shortly be inaug-
urated; this is one of the best
surface showings in the camp
and should prove a very valuable
property. A number of other
properties in the Hump are being
developed and are attracting the
attention of capital, and with the
settled business conditions and
the attractive opportunities held
out for legitimate mining enter
prises in this district, it ought tc
forge ahead during the coming
summer. :"

THE HUMP DISTRICT.
Inspector Bells Opinion of the Mines
There-Dewey Consolidated.

In his annual report R. M. Bell
writing of Idaho county mines,
has the following to say of sew
eral we'll known properties in the
Hump and Clearwater sections:
"The Concord Mining Company
of this district has worked a good
force of men dnring the year on
their Mother Lode No. 2 vein. A
new shaft is being sunk, and is
now down It's feet from which
cross cuts and drifts have been
made, exposing a vertical fissure
vein of quartz carrying good mil
ling values for fifteen feet in
width and small pay streaks of

ounces gold per ton. This prop
erty has a good hoist and is we'll
equipped to continue develop
ment; it is we'll managed, is show
ing up the evidence of an i'm
mense reserve of pay ore, and
comprises in addition to the Moth
er Lode No. 2, a number of the
best located claims in the district,
that when sufficiently opened up
are likely to prove the basis of a
very profitable gold mining and
milling enterprise.
'The same fissure system being
developed by the Concord COM
pany has also been opened to
some extent and shown good val

L. A. Mi ller of the Thunder
Mountain News has compiled
statistics relative to the work be-
ing done in Thunder Mountain
district. The statement is as
follows:
'The Dewey's average payroll
per month for the whole year was
$4, 1855, and the total for the year
$55, 1892.
1.-The average payroll for the
Sunnyside per month for the year
was $4,000, and the total for the
year $120,000. The company has
put in a 40-stamp mill and engine
to run it, besides two smaller
engines, one to run the sawmill
and one to drive pure air into the
tunnel, The company has put up
an aerial tramway one and one
half miles long with a fall of 1900
feet, carrying 46 buckets. The
loaded buckets going down pull
the empty ones up, besides giving
power sufficient to run the ore
crusher, which is now on the road
coming in and will be here in a
day or two if the weather contin-
ues fine. The crusher that is in
place at the mine now is not large
enough to crush ore to keep the
mill running. AS soon as the
large one arrives it is the inten-
ton of Superintendent Abbott to
put it in place and commence op-
erations at once. The company
was we'll pleased with the short
run they made prior to their clos
ing down.
