fact that hunger, craving for liquor

was arrested the other day on the
charge of having stolen funeral
crepe from the doors of houses in
which death had occurred. At the
preliminary hearing before the
magistrate the woman admitted her
guilt and explained that she had
used the crepe to make for herself
automobile wells after the latest
fashion. The fact that the woman
is extremely poor and has not even
a faint prospect of ever riding in an
automobile, did not seem to disturb
her or abate her insane craving for
the useless finery.-Carson News.

ENGLISH HAVE FAITH IN
COMSTOCK LODE

The following article from the
Mining Magazine, published in Lon
don, England, in its March issue
shows that the English have not
lost faith in the Comstock lode:
Nevada finds it difficult to turn
her attention over a moment from
the greatest gold mine in the world,
as the Goldfield Consolidated is
proudly proclaimed. Nevertheless
the old Comstock is coming in for
some attention as a result of the
metallurgical improvements by Mr..
Buffers and the unwatering of the
old workings under the direction
of Mr.. Whitney Symmes. Despite
many former discouragements, with
the electric pumps now installed
enough ground has been uncovered
to allow exploration of new terri
tory east of the old workings and
with most satisfactory results.
Arrangements have just been
completed to extend the pumping
agreement to cover the south end of
the lode. More than 1000 feet of
ground will be unwatered to an ad-
ditional depth Of 40U feet in local
ity that has produced over $4,000,
600. A drift will be run from the
21O0 foot pump station at the Ward
shaft toward the Yellow Jacket
mine for distance of 200 to $50
feet, when the old workings will be
tapped by diamond drill holes. At
the shaft the water will be pumped
to Sutro tunnel level and sent out
in a wooden pipe flume. One of
the chief objects of the work is the
exploration of the TOO level of
Yellow Jacket, Crown Point and
Belcher mines, where rich ore was
left at the time the miners were
driven out by the big Exchequer
flood. Popular interest in this
work is increasing"

pearance being in 1835-and
probably some of the local observers
feel that if they don't get a good
look at it now they never will. But
the comet will be a much more
spectacular object a couple of
months from now, when it sweeps
across the sun and later is to be
seen in the ky after the sun sets.
Halley's is the most celebrated
comet in history. 1t belongs to the
periodic class and is known to have
visited the earth no less than 25
times since IL B. G. 1t was visible
in the spring of 1866, and the
supersticious of that age thought
it was forerunner of the conquest
of England by William of Nor
mandy. 1t was also in the sky
during the Great Plague in London.
Comets are divided into two classes
periodic ones, which always come
back to our sun, after making the
rounds of their orbits; and those
stray wanderers from inter-stellar
space which come into our ken only
to go out again for all eternity.
There are 33 we'll known periodic
comets, "a of which have periods
of from three to five years. The
one having the shortest period is
Encke's., 81 years, and that having
the longest is Halley's (named after
the great English astronomer)
with period of 764 years.

There is no lack of popular
interest manifested in the new
comet, judging by the crowds that
spend their time rubbering at it on
the streets. Halley's comet has a
period of 1874 years-in other words
it takes that long for it to make
the round of its orbit, its last ap-
