STERLING MINE WILL AGAIN
 RESUME
Another Pioneer Property
 Is Again to Be Operated
(FroE Tuesdays Daily)


 After an absence of over five years
 from Ariozna, Marshall s. Taft, fam
 iliarly known to all in this section
 as a mine operator, returned Sunday
 night, and yesterday made the i'm portant announcement that he is here
 to start up work and. revive the old Sterling mine on Big Bug. In speak ing of this motter he says the re- building of the shelter at Humboldt is the main reason why it has been
 determined by his company to re- .sume development, and in another channel the transportation facilities from the mine to the market are such that economical conditions will favor the enterprise.
 In recalling the past, when this mine was worked, MT. Taft gives an interesting review of the methods that prevailed and the heavy ex- pense incidental to packing out ore and packing in mine supplies. Yet with such a burden the Sterling paid it's way, and until deeper workings were reached and increased expense necessarily followed, it was decided to cease work and await a change in conditions all round of a more fav- orable creation. These have arrived, and it is his purpose to grasp the opportunity at once.
 The Sterling in years gone was extensively exploited, and from eleven cars shipped out of the eoun ty 10 Colorado markets the values ran from $700 to SLIGO a car.
 The ores carry gold, silver and copper, and this product was taken from practically the surface. Consid- erable work is shown on the prop erty, but not to any extent in depth. From the 100 foot level the deepest shaft is but 400 feet, and at this point, when important determinations were about to be solved, the prop erty was closed down, and has re- mained so until the present time. MT. Taft says that in resmuing work | he will get to a point where the water level is tapped, and from that point is confident in making note- worthy explorations and proving the mine is a merited one. In this prin- ciple he is supported by all practical ] mining men, and those who are fam liar with the Sterling ground speak of the purpose to handle the project.
 It enjoys an excellent name, and in the earlier days of mining on the Big Bug, the Sterling was regarded as one of the most attractive claims in that field. The railroads runs to within one-half mile of the camp, while to the Humboldt smelter it is less than ten miles.
 This is but one of the many old time mines that feels the stimulating effect of the resumption of the Hum boldt smelter, that have aor soon will enter the active column, but which, under the old method prevailing were strangled in either treatment charges pr transportation facilities.
 Accompanying MT. Taft to Pres eOtt is F. G. Roberts of New York City, prominent in financial circles of the Empire State, who will be- come interested in the Sterling enter prise. Both will go to the mine in a few days, after making arrangements for the resuming of operations. i

How It Was Viewed.

Somebody's comet visited Prescott early last evening.
 Some say it was Innes' hairy star as comets are frequently described Others argue it was Halley's comet One Old-timer timidly ventured the assertion that it might be the comet of 1S11, of which his grandfather spoke frequently, returning once more. Still another ventured that possibly it was Donati's comet of 1858 visible again. And so they talk ed and ventured opinions and beliefs and in one or two instances even engaged in lively arguments.
 However that may be, Prescott citizens last evening saw comet It put in appearance like dazzling star in grand opera, and made all the other stars which can be viewed nightly along the. "milky way" and elsewhere above, look exactly like what they have come to be-com- mOnplaee things in the heavens.
 It was shortly after darkness set in that the brilliant aerial phenom- enon became visible. It suddenly put in an appearance in the western heavens. It was there with all of its trimmings-the bright, starry ap- pearance and the tail or train of fire following
 It was discovered early and speed ly the word spread that comet was showing in the skies. It was but a short time until hundreds were watch ing the unusual spectacle. It appar- ently sank gradually until it finally disappeared behind the mountains to the west of the city. It was the best free show ever seen in Prescott.
 Not Halley's Comet.
 Those best .versed locally in mat ters pertaining te-tAe heavens declare it was not Halley's comet, which has been world-famed, To, these many centuries, having attracted general notice first in. A D. 1456.
 They incline rather to the belief that it was the comet discovered by Astronomer Innes, some time ago, at Johannesburg, South Africa.
 This view is eoncurred in by Prof. A. E. Douglas of the University of Arizona, who has achieved consider able note as an astronomer
 Naturally, Prof. Douglas has been observing the comet with keenest in terest but with the aid of the teles- cope at the University, thus far, however, he announces, he has been unable to tell whether the comet is coming toward the earth or going away from it.
 If It Hit the Earth.
 All of which information will serve to mildly at least allay the fears of the timid, who are alarmed lest good old Mother Earth and the new heav- enly body should bump each other. What might happen in this event is but matter of conjecture. It is a certainty, however, that one or the other would be considerably jared and possibly both.
 But then, according to the best of leading astronomers, comets are we'll behaved and frolie only about the sun,

travelling always in an elliptic or parabolic orbit And no good comet would ever think of getting beyond the powerful influence of Old Sol, and in all probability could not should it desire to do so.
 Occasioned Traditions.
 In days when the adults of the present generation were lads and las sies, traditions were many about the comets. and still exist. The chief among these, however, was one stat ing that a comet was a sure sign of war. The comets lurid tail was al- ways referred to as a trail of blood on the skies, and so deep was the i'm pression that the tradition has been handed down through the years, and is still referred to whenever there is Calk of a comet.
 Visible Again Tonight.
 This evening, shortly after sun down, the comet will again be wis., ible. According to schedule, it should appear in the western heavens about o'elock and remain visible for about a half-hour.
