One OF the most difficult question:
that astronomers have to solve Is the
direction and velocity OF the flight Of
the solar system through space. We or
dinarily speak Of the world going round
the sun as II that revolution was per-
formed year after year In the same
path, the sun standing still while the
earth moves. But, as a matter OF fact,
the sun o as we'll as the earth.
Our planet goes round the sun from
east to west. but al the some time, the
sun moves from south to north. The
earth, therefore, is really travelling, not
In q beaten circle, but In a spiral line,
which is gradually carrying 1t toward
| certain stars in the northern sky. And,
OF course, all the other planets also
travel In spirals, going at the same
time round and round the sun, and with
the sun toward the north.
The simplest proof that this motion
OF the solar system really exists Is the
fact that in that part of the sky to-
ward which we are going the stars ars
observed TO be slowly moving apart,
while in the opposite part of the heav-
ems they are drawing together.
But now comes the difficulty. On ac-
count of the immense distance OF tho
stars, the apparent motions exhibited
by them az a result Of our yary!ng dis
lance from them are exceedingly slight:
far too slight to be detected without the
| aid Of the most delicate instruments,
| applied with an n precis-
ion that only great skill and long prac-
| tice can give.
Their too, eac star has an actual
| motion OF it's own-one In one direction
l and another In another--for, like our
sun, they are all Journeying through

Rich Silver Strike Reported.

There has been considerable excite ment in mining circles the past week over a rich strike reported to have been made in the Old Woman noun tains, 16 miles from Milligan, station on the Parker division of the Santa Fe railroad. About dozen outfits have already left Parker for the scene of the new discovery, and it is said prospec- tors and mining men from all direc- tions are beginning to arrive there.
 The original discovery was made about two weeks ago by A. B. Day and Scott Price, two well known prospec- tors from Nevada. Both gentlemen formerly lived in Searchlight, and have been identified with a number of the more prominent camps of the Sagebrush state.
 About a week or ten days ago Day and Price came to Parker and had shipped to Milligan about four tons of camp supplies. They exhibited rich specimens of ore while here, but were not telling where they found the ledge from which the samples were taken, except to a few and these they re- quested to keep matters quiet for time, as they wanted to make addi- tional locations.
 According to assays run in Parker the ore carried near 300 ounces of sil- yer, about F per cent copper, large percentage in lead and some gold values. Mir. Day stated to Post rep resentative that the ore averaged ap- proximately 20OS per ton. and that there was big ledge of it outcropping on the surface several hundred feet in length and from six to eight feet in width. The country, he said, was highly mineralized d -or miles around the original discovery.
 A. F. Bowers returned from the new strike yesterday. He reports the orig inal discovery as being a rich proposi- tion, the ore shoot being exposed for POO feet in length and eight feet in wldth.-Parker Post.

centration of gold and silver ores, made in Austin by the Austin Manhat- tan Consolidated Mining Co.,, cannot be realized without some reflection, says the Reveille.
 Over prolonged tests made in the To- cal plant during the past month on low-grade ores, this company has pro duced concentrates assaying 1908, with a seyen-to one degree of concentration. One-fourth of the values are in gold; three-fourths in silver. The ore now being milled in this plant comes from the Jack Pot mine, property that has been developed by this company, and which is outside the old Austin producing area. Only the low-grade is being hauled to the mill, extensive tonnage of low-grade being sacked and left in the stopes. The mine with its present showing will more than keep the mill busy at it's present ca pacity.
 The electrostatic process, thus prov ed a success in Austin, is of tremen- dous importance to Nevada, because the problem of a water supply is elim- mated. What water is in the ore when mined is eliminated in a dryer in the first stage of the process. So there are many remote mines of low grade character that can join the pro- fit making list if they will follow the lead in this state made by the Austin Manhattan Co.

Revivins Abandoned Property.

A PheniX dispatch says: In the pro- gressing development of the old Man. moth mine, famed for its riches throughout the whole Southwest, there is probability of the revivication of mining in that section.
 The mine, owned by the heirs of the late E. c. Hall. is being operated by George U. Young, secretary of state of Arizona. He stands to win big or go aat broke in the style ot the old timers os this section, and there are those who are betting that he will not go broke.
 The old Mammoth has history. It yielded I,OOO,OOOS during the life and operations of Hall, who located it, and upon his deathbed he told his two daughters that he had left LOGO, ,OOOS in sight in the property. He also left positive instruction to the girls as to how the property was to be handled. It was out of the question for them to operate it, and Hall knew this. Know ing also the worth of the property, or at least claiming that he did, he im- pressed upon his daughters a plan for selling it which made possible its working by anyone.
 All this was matter of ten years ago. Recently, through their inability to dispose of the property, the girls, each of whom is now married, gave Young a peculiar lease and bond upon the mine, and he went to work.
 There was the remnant of a stamp mill upon the property. Young built this up with new machinery until he now has 10 stamps in operation, working on the old dump, and he is getting his moneys worth from that source. But it is in the bowels of the mine that the fortune, if it exists, lies, and to get that has proven a tremendous task.
 Ten years are many to pass over a mine that is abandoned. These have passed and left their mark. So deep is the mark that it was more feasible to sink new shaft In order to get to the old workings than it was to recon struct the old shaft.

additional 100000 tons to it's reserves, with prospects of several millions more.
 Miami should be mining about 1,0O0,- 900 tons of ore per annum within six months, and on thls basis the mine will have life of about 15 years. Mining at this rate it should output 10000, 900 pounds of copper per annum, and on l3c cent copper should earn 2S per share on it's production, in which case there are prospects of Miami return ing about 3OS per 'share in dividends during the life of the mine. Larger returns than this depend upon higher copper prices and the further opening of new reserves.-New York Mining Age.
Mohave County miner., 1910-12-10

Several years later, when the Silver King was in full operation, an aged man came slowly into the settlement of Picket Post as Pinal City was then called, and gazed with interest at the busy scene around the mill. He went to the office of the company, announced himself as Sullivan, the old soldier, the original discoverer of the vein, and asked for work. He was identified. and taken into the company's employ. He had been working as farm hand in California, trying to obtain suffic- tent means to return to Arizona.
 The deepest point reached by the main shaft was about 1000 feet. The mine is a pyramid, with the apex be- low instead of above. I have always thought that it might be found to widen out lower down. No thoroughly systematic prospecting work was ever done. They were in a hurry to get out the rich ore as fast as they could. There are stories of an exceedingly rich ledge not less than twenty feet from the surface, that was ordered covered up and has never been worked. From time to time desultory attempts have been made to do some work on the mine, which was purchased about year ago by Los Angeles man. The main shaft has caved in and filled with water, and new one would have to be sunk.
 One of the sights of the camp were the big trains of four immense wag- ons, each drawn by twenty mules, that brought the ore down from the mine to the mill. Matt Caveness had the contract for hauling the ore. He made a lot of money out of it, and spent it freely. He is now running a goat ranch at Wickenburg, and lives with his family at Mesa City. The com pany's pay roll seldom fell below 4O,- OOOS a month, and Silver King was lively camp for few years.
 It may surprise some to learn that the Silver King mine was never pat ented by the company. A patent was not obtained until about five years ego, by one of the recent owners. It was customary in those days to leave mines unpatented, as in that way they could escape taxation. You can never tell what an Arizona legislature will do to you.-Harry E. Brook, in Los Angeles Mining Review.

Rich Copper Strike.

What is claimed to be the richest copper strike ever made in this sec tion was encountered few days ago on the property of the Copper Basin Mining company, eighteen miles north of Parker, in the Copper Basin mining district. During the progress of sink. ing the shaft Contractor Harvey Hon this week broke into a four-foot body of copper glance ore at depth of 50 feet. From it's appearance it will easily run 50 per cent in the red metal, besides containing some gold values.
 About two weeks ago the ore began to gradually increase in value and be- fore the latest strike of copper glance, it was averaging around 40S to the ton. Contractor Hon was in town the fore part of the week and brought in a number of large specimens of the lat est discovery. He declared that the strike was the richest he had ever seen in his many years experience in the mining business.
 A shipment of the ore will be gotten out as quickly as possible and sent to the smelter. The new strike will place Copper Basin in the limelight as never before. Bowman Bros, it is said, are also uncovering a better grade of ore at the present time than eyer before.-Parker Post.

Big Showing in Mint Mine.

While in the city yesterday from the Copper Hill mining camp, in Copper Basin, J. J. Jackson made the import ant statement that a big gold strike had been made by George Montgom- cry, director of works of the Mint Gold Mining company, which is considered the richest ever uncovered in the his- tory of gold mining in that district.
 The Mint property is two miles southwest of Copper Basin, on the Skull Valley slope, in zone developed only to limited depth until Mir. Mont gomery entered the district, IS months ago.
 Gold miners who have visited the property recently confirm the report of bonanza values of the new find and the favorable indications of permanent ore bodies. Free gold is plainly vis- ible in the ore, which averages over 2OOS ton. The point at which the discovery was made is in a crosscut run from the main shaft at a depth of 165 feet. The company is erecting a new ten stamp mill and anticipates having it in operation by the 1st of January.
 MT. Jackson also stated that the Commercial Mining company, under Major Pickerell's management, is con tinuing development in the basin, with satisfactory results. The com pany has recently let a contract to run a tunnel, and in pushing the sinking of the main shaft, which has reached depth of over 36O feet. It is said a system of drifting will soon be started in the shaft, when important develop ments are anticipated. - Prescott Journal Miner.

Miami Will Make Copper in 60 Days.

In less than 60 days the Miami Cop per Co. at Miami, Arizona, will begin the production of copper and this step will represent the completion of a plan it has had under way since the spring of 1908 for the development of its property and the construction of a mill for that purpose. About 250,0'0 tons of ore have already been mined and are on the dump, and the concentrator will start operations on this dump ore, which will average nearly per cent copper. The concentrator will start with 1000 tons capacity and gradually increase this to 1000 tons.
 Some fear has been expressed that the water question might trouble the Miami in the future. The case of the Miami Co. is the first instance where large mill has been constructed at a property entirely dependent upon mine water and artesian wells, but the Miami people have driven three wells and claim each well is good for 800, 900 gallons of water per day, and that this flow has been obtained this year, the driest season Arizona has known for many years.
 In addition to the artesian we'll SUD- plies the company obtains l, 1000, 900 gal Ions per day from the Old Dominion mine, for which it is paying 1,5OOs per month and pumps it six miles to the Miami mill. It will not require over 100000 gallons per day for the con- pany's concentrating needs.
 The underground work at the mine has been quickly and intelligently done. More than IA miles of under ground workings have been opened, practically all in ore, six miles being added during the past year, says Thompson, Towle & Co.,, and the mine is in such a high stage of development that less than 100 men are now work ing, and this force will not be increas- ed until actual mining begins the first of the year. The Miami has been op- erating drills for three months in an endeavor to add to it's 14.O00,O00 tons of ore, and has succeeded in adding an

Accordinly this was done, or rather, is doing, and it is now down 1900 feet. The old shaft has been unwatered to some extent by pumps and within two weeks the politician who has turned miner will know the answer to his riddle.
