TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE TO BE
OBSERVED SATURDAY, JUNE

On the afternoon of Saturday, June
8. 1918, according to Prof. Edwin B..
Frost of the Yerkes observatory, writ
ing for the June issue of Popular
Mechanics magazine, the wonderful
spectacle of a total solar eclipse will
be visible, weather permitting, over
a track extending from the Pacific
Washington to the Atlantic (F1or-
ida). This track of the moons shadow
is 20 miles wide at the western coast,
narrowing to 40 miles in Florida.
For about an hour the noon will
gradually encroach upon the suns
disk, the daylight will fade, then the
narrowing crescent of the sun will
suddenly disappear, and around the
jet-black ball of the moon, hanging in
the northwestern sky among the
brighter stars, will be seen the pearly
radiance of the mysterious solar cor
ona. The remarkable spectacle may
be enjoyed for 122 seconds at the
western coast and for half that time
in Florida. Then the crescent of the
sun will appear on the other (west-
ern) side of the moon, and after
another hour the full disk of the sun
will shine as usual.
This event happens at any one
place, on the average, only three
times in a thousand years.

FLOTATI0N PROCESS PATENT
RIGHTS HELD VOID BY COURT

OF great Importance to the mining
industry of this state is the reversal
by the United States circuit court of
appeals. in San Francisco. of the de-
cision of the United States district
court of Montana which granted the
Minerals Separation Co, Ltd, owners
of a patented ore separation process,
&c., 900 damages from the Butte
Superior Mining Company for in
fringement
Many mining companies, particu-
larry the Tonopah Belmont, are pay
ing royalty for use of the "iotation'
process in the reduction Of ore. The
Tonopah Belmont uses this process IN
its three mills in Colorado, California
and British Columbia. and has inn
proved the process to great extent
but has paid dearly in royalties for
the privilege, ii being only an instance
of many other mining companies.
Owing to the enormous amount in
volved, il is believed the case will be
appealed to the United States supreme
court, so no immediate benefit will
follow the reversal. The Butte SUI
| perior company resisted payment on
the ground that il was using more oil
than the quantity stipulated in the
patent.

which she regained consciousness and
came to Ogden. was taken back to her
home by her mother Tuesday after
noon. says the Ogden Standard.
The mother of the girl, Mrs. J. l..
Montgomery, who had been divorced
from the father of the girl and re-
married. arrived in Ogden Tuesday
morning from the little Oregon village.
The mother corroborated the story
told by the girl concerning the mys-
terry and romance that has followed
the child since her birth, and also said
that two sisters of Narcisa had been
murdered by poisoned candy when
they were mere tots. She also said
that Narcisa had been once poisoned
and that her own life had been threat
ened. The mother stated that the
reason she had left the ranch was be-
cause she had been told by certain
Mexicans that if she did not leave the
ranch in Ruby Valley, Nevada, she
would be killed within six months. So
she took up her residence in Elko.
Nevada. where Narcisa was born. The
father is not blamed for instigating
the attempts to kidnap or do away
with the girl.
A most remarkable story was told
by the girl to Ogden authorities. She
asserts Mexicans have followed her
all her life, the alleged purpose being
to gain control of the Ruby Valley
ranch by numbering the whole family,
