ECLIPSE WILL Be
VISIBLE FROM
GOLOF|ELD
WILL BECOME 30 PER CENT To-
tai LATE IN AFTER
NOON

On Saturday, June s, an eclipse of
the sun, about so per cent total, will
be visible in Goldfieid late in the
afternoon. Totally will start at the
mouth of the Columbia river in
Washington at 1855 D.. m, standard
Pacific coast summer time, or the
new time" and the eclipse will be-
come visible in Goldfield at 1852
p. m, reach its maximum at All D..
m. and end at SEQ p. m. AS as
tronomers do not consider Goldfield
of enough Importance to fix eclipse
time for the town, these figures are
based on Reno eclipse time, the only
figures available here.
The path of totality will extend
from the state of Washington to
Florida and nowhere will be more
than 70 miles wide, the phenome-
non being visible as a partial eclipse
of varying degree according to the
distance of the observer from the
path of totality.
Not for another 80 years will an
eclipse of the sun be visible over
as large an area of the United States
as the n that will occur June 8 and
great preparations are being made
by astronomers to observe 1t. 1t is
also rare for a total eclipse of the
sun to offer as many good and read
Inaccessible observations points as
the coming one and astronomers
have taken advantage of these fea-
lures.
Owing to the period of totality be-
ing 1872 seconds on the west coast
of the observing parties will view
the eclipse from western states, the
principal observation points being
Denver, Green River. Wyo.; Golden
dale, Wash; Baker City, Ore, and
Lakin, Kan.
The relative distance of the sun
and noon from the earth are such
that when the sun is eclipsed only
the tip of the shadow cast by the
moon reaches the earth, making the
path of the eclipse always a narrow
one. Into this path will go the OBJ
servers in an effort to gain new
knowledge of the suns corona and to
solve other problems of astronomers
through observation and photograph
ing of the corona and nearby stars.

GRAPHITE FOUND
IN BIG DEPOSIT
CARSON MEN LOCATE NUMBER
OF CLAIMS AT DIS
COVERY

What appear to be extensive de-
posts of graphite have been dis
covered beyond the hot springs
north of Carson City and steps
have been taken to develop the
eleven claims already located. The
original discovery of the outcrop-
pings was made by Chauncey r.
Drake. He has since organized the
Black Hope Graphite Mining COM
pany and located three claims.
Eight other claims have been To-
Gated by the o. X. Graphite Min
ing company in which F. l.. Will
des, B. A. Wildes, e. o. Patterson,
Jas. T. Davis, A. L.. Dressler, Mrs.
A.. l.. Dressler, c.. r. Drake and
Mrs. C. r. Drake are interested.
Both companies now have men en-
gagged in developing the properties.
The graphite specimens secured
from the groupings north of town
are said to compare very favorably
with the graphite gotten from the
Chedic mine southwest of Carson.
The latter is of much higher per
cent in carbon than the average
graphite deposits found in the Uni
ted States and Canada. In the
groupings discovered by Mr.. Drake
the graphite is found in what ap-
pears to be alternate veins and in
trusions. The development work
done so far indicates that the
veins are becoming thicker and the
~intrusions thinner, indicating the
possibility of the finding of a large
deposit at no great depth.
The graphite mining industry
gives promise of becoming an i'm
portant one. Graphite has been
listed, it is said, as one of the
minerals of which the government
is interested in getting large sup
plies. A large proportion of the
graphic used in the United States
is imported from Canada and other
countries. The highest grade of
the mineral is gotten from Ceylon.
The development of these pro-
perties will be watched with inter-
est, and it is hoped that the pros
poets will develop into real mines.

 There are several streams on Doug Ias Island whcrc brook or mountain trout thrive and Che movement to have moro planted Is very good one.
 The best place on the Island to plant brook trout is ot thc head of Che Trcadwcu ditch. where there is a lake. The lake Is tributary to Fish creek. Trout planted iu that lake can SO into the Treadwcl ditch and following it along can find fccd- ing grounds ln any Of Che streams employing into tho ditch. There arc four streams besides Fish creek that are tributary to Che ditch and at least three Of them would make splendid places for trout
 Trout arc quite plentiful in Law son. C1wcc. Fish and Bullion creeks. an of which arc tributary Co the ditch. but as a rule they are not large. In every ease they are found only above che ditch n any quan- titles. and ir Che fry are planted they should bc planted above thc ditch. giving them a chance Co 80 back and forth Co feed if their feeding grounds In thc streams become overcrowdcd.
 In a dry season Che streams that How into Che ditch become almost dry below Che ditch. and fish planted there would have no chance Co so- euro feed. while if they are planted above. they could not bc starved out as there Is always some water n thcm and moro u Che ditch.

 Been Stolen

When P. A. Anderson, well known ranchcr who has his home on Douglas Island just beyond Ne vada Creek, returned home recently from a trip that he had been with his family, he found that some one had visited his home during his ab- sence.
 The visitors had stolen everything movable inside his house. including cooking utensils and many other things, and left no trace behind of who they were.
 The only clue to the mystery is the fact that a gas boat was seen near the place at a date that cor responds Co about the time the things might have been stolen Acting up on this evidence the thieves will Doc searched for and it is hoped apprc- hendcd
 Mir. Anderson has a fine home not simply a cabin-but a house that was well furnished, and every bit of the house and everything in it represented a lot of hard wark Co get. It seems a shame that day light robbers would commit such a bold robbery and get away with it and it is hoped that if the guilty parties arc caught they will be made such an example of that such a class of creatures will be scarce around here In the future.
