ASTRONOMERS FORGOT EFFECT
OF SHORT CURVE, SAYS C. U. W.

POMONA, May 2O.-[Editor Herald:
The astronomers made a mistake as to
the comets tail. For this we will for
give them. If comets came oftener
such mistakes would not be made. But
the astronomers were all excited and
forgot that it is habitual with a COM
cts tail to bend as the comet makes
its short curve at perihelion. At that
point the comet is too swift for the end
of its tail, so it gets behind and causes
the tail to curve. This time the curve
was not noticeable to the eye, because
the comet was in too direct line with
the sun. Had 1t been more to the
north or south we could have seen the
curve
NV private opinion of the tail is that
it is the high tide of the comet, and the
only tide it has. C. u. w.

RICH STRIKE MADE
IN DUCK CREEK COUNTRY

Ely papers tell of strike of rich ore
in the Success mine of the Success
Mining company at Duck Creek, which
has since developed into bonanza OF
no small proportions. The strike was
made in the east drift from the 2O0-
foot level and the latest report from
there was that the drift had been ex-
tended eight feet, all in ore. Two assays
were made from average samples of
the ore. The galena returned $l9o.3o
in gold and silver and 1850 per cent
lead, while the gray carbonates return
ed $31.2O gold and silver and 61.5o per
cent lead. The entire drift is in gooi
solid ore, of which the above samples
are a fair average. This is considered
the most important strike yet made in
the property, and will have tendency
to make the stock scarce at its present
price of $l.00 per share.

PITTSBURG-NEVADA
PROMISING PROPERTY

The Pittsburg- Nevada ground to the
southeast of town is not being worked
at present, but The News understands
that as soon as Donald Ferguson re-
turns from New York City, where ne
is at present, active work on this
promising "outside" property will be
resumed. The company has a well con-
structed shaft down 800 feet and some
considerable lateral work done, and has
a fine power hoist and equipment on
the ground. Aside from the work at the
shaft, an aggregate Of some hundred
feet of tunneling and sinking has been
done in the neighborhood of the enor-
nous silicious outcrops that obtrude
above the andesite, which is the gen
eral formation there.
In the shaft very promising and
strong ledge of low grade sulphide ore
was cut, the ore showing some gold,
copper and and silver, yet not in guam
tity that would be termed pay ore. In
one or the surface ZO-IooI VEIN VI oA-
idized ore has been cut, which averages
around $40 per ton. This is the most
promising development on the property
to date. 1t is the result of the last
work done on the property, and work
that will be resumed on the property
this spring will be in the line of devel-
opment of this vein.
The Pittsburg- Nevada is about a
mile to the south OF the Frances Mo-
hawk property to the southeast OF town,
which was worked in the early days to
some extent, and Donald Ferguson is
the controlling factor in the compa-
ny.
