Development on the mines Of the
Humboldt Consolidated Mining com.
pany has reached q point where II
has been deemed expedient to oper.
ate 10 better advantage, and q big
plant has been ordered from the
Arizona Mine Supply company In this
city, to expedite underground work.
A o horse power hoist, gallows

boiler, buckets and other utilities
will be sent to the camp In few
days and placed in position.
The ores Of the company carry

and 60-foot shaft at one point and
n 90.foot shaft at another, together
with lesser workings, gives the fu-
ture OF the enterprise o decidedly
flattering outlook.

7. Zodiacal Light From work re-
GENTLY done at the Lick and at the
Noun, Wilson observatories 1t seems
probable that the zodiacal night Is
caused by the reflection OF solar
light from dust in and near the plane
Of the aclptic. II so, then change
might be expected in 1t at the time
Of the comets near approach to the
earth. and therefore the extent, brii'
liancy. and other features of the 20
diaeal light as they appear at that
time should be carefully noted.
s. Gegenschein (eounter'glow) -
But little 10 known Of the cause of
this faint glow seen in the ecliptic
at a point directly opposite 10 the
sun, or along the shadow OF the
earth. Presumably IL has the same
origin as the zodiaeal light, and con
sequeptly may be modified during
the transit Of the earth across the
tail Of the comet. At any rate II
should be observed on the nights
mentioned, and it's brillianey at these
times compared with that on the
nights when there certainly Is nc
cometsry disturbance.

HAI.LBY's COMET
APPROACHES RAPIDLY


IL the earth should pass through

tronomers expect 1T will do, on May
18th, next, an opportunity OF kind
not heretofore presented within the
history Of the weather bureau will
be Offered for the study Of certain
meteorological phenomena. IL mas
been decided by the chief OF the
weather bureau TO take advantage OF
this opportunity by securing the
necessary observations as far as
weather conditions will permit and
for this purpose he has requested
weather bureau observers located
throughout the United States TO note
the different phenomena occurring
within the earth's atmosphere.

nix purposes to be alert as to the
occurrence Of anything within his
sphere Of observation. Owing to the
position Of the moon on the dates
within which the transit Of the
comet will occur, May IL, IS and IL,
1t IL probable that the most salts
factory night observations will be
obtained during the last two or three
hours before daylight.
The following phenomena will be
observed:
!. Auroral Displays-Auroras serve
as indicators Of the electrical state
Of the outer atmosphere, and as this
state possibly may be affected by
the tail Of the comet rs we pass
through IL, aurorss should be watch.
ed for nj that time. The location,
color, shape, extent and other fea.
lures as well as the times Of APP
pearanee, changes and Disappearance
should all be carefully noted.
2. Meteoric Tails-The numbers,
times Of appearance, lengths Of dura.
ton and directions and lengths Of
visible paths Of meteors should be
noted on all three nights, but es.
pecially on the night Of the 18th.
3. Bishops Ring-This curious
"dust" halo has been seen around
the sun after the eruptions both Of
Krawatoa and Mount Pelee, and
conveivably might also follow the
passage Of the earth through the tail
Of the comet. 1t therefore should
be carefully looked for on the days
specified, and occasionally, for some
days thereafter.
4. Color Of the Sun and Sky-Both
the general color Of the sky and the
color Of the sun depend on the dust
and other contents Of the atmosphere,
and should be carefully noted on the
given dates.
5. Twilight Phenomena - Twilight
eolors, their distribution, and order Of
changes depend largely on the dust
OF the atmosphere, and, consequent.
ly, these are phenomena that need
to be observed on the days Indicated.
o. Luminous Clouds Neither the
material Of these clouds nor the
cause Of their light Is definitely
known. They seem to belong to the
very high atmosphere, and therefore
should be looked for at night in
connection with our transit across
the comets tail. These clouds are
cirrus-like in appearance, but NAV be
distinguished from true cirrus by the
fact that they are brighter than the
