OGDEN; Fob. 9 Don Magulre, Die
eminent mining engineer, who has been
conducting such ti vigorous campaign In
Iilie Sierra Mndre mining district, ten
miles duo north of Ogden. nnd who Is the
( :ctlvo manager of tho Sun In. Marin. Gold
und Copper Mining company, loaves for
I tho properties tomorrow morning, whero
he hns a force of twenty men at work.
Mr. Mngnlre stated this afternoon that In
: the upper development of the properties
ho has 1. 100,000 tons of copper ores blocked
out that will run from 3 to 10 per cent
topper, with some side values of silver
and gold.
, Mountain cf Copper Ore.
To effect the economical mining of these
oto bodies, Mr. Mngulre Is now engaged
In driving a deep working tunnel. 1520
itet In length that will cut the ore bodies
at depths ranging from 1216 feet to 2030
feet, vertically, and will afford oppor
tunlty for the development of llvo paral-
lei veins and two transverse vHns. In all
of which the values havi been demon
, stinted In the upper workings. Other con
cerns with which Mr. Mngulrc is Idenllllod
are pursuing heavy development in thlu
region, which. Mr. Mngulre says, has a
mountain of low-grnde copper ore, nota-
ble unions them being the Napoleon, the
Maghera and the El Dorado, all of which
arc on the same belt
Near New Ogden Smelter.
It is the purpose to connect the mouth
of the new tunnel with the foot of the
mountain with an aerial tramwav hall
a mile long, and at the and of the tram
way a concentrating plant for the trent
- ment of the crude ores will he erected
A slgnltlcant feature of the location of
tho end of the tramway is that It Is but
one and one-half miles from the silo of
' the new smeller lo be erected bv the Utah
Smelting company, and which Is now sur
veyed and stalled out. preparatory to the
building of the tracks by the railroad
companies.

claims, seven In number. Is located three
mlloB east of Calicntc and within one
"mile of tho line of the Salt Lake Route,
and Is Incorporated for a half-million dol
lars, under the laws of the District of
f'olumbla. The group Is low-grado free
gold, and Includes two fine springs which
carry an average of eighty miners' inches
.'f water the year around. There Is a
tsmall reservoir site on the claims which
can be put In at a minimum coat, and as
tho ore can be treated either by stamp

Montana Expert Succeeds in
Keeping Object of Visit
Profound Secret.
IS LOOKING OVER
BINGHAM CONSOLIDATED
Change of Ownership Creating
Great Interest Here and
in Boston.
A deal Involving tho ownership of so
prominent a property as the BliiKham Con
solidated Mining company naturally calls
forth considerable speculation on tho part
of tho local people. That there l some
thing doing in this great Utah property,
and that it hns been on for some time
past, and that tho price of Bingham Con
solidated slock haa ben slated for a good
advanco In price, aro facts equally well
known here; but local men, when asked
regarding tho deal, acknowledge them
selves cjitlrely at sen, regardless of Al
fred Franka's visit. All agree that If Bos
ton, with all Ita predigested copper wis
dom, cunnot bite Into tho problem suc
cessfully. It is rather a sure shot that
US tits. If any, positive news will bo known
until the ofllclal announcement Is made.
Is Examining the Property.
Opinions here aro divided. Rumor has
connected both tho American Smelting and
Ri lining company and the United States
company with the newly acquired control
of tho Bingham Consolidated, and others
adhoro to the theory that the Corum syn
dicate la the purchaser. Now comes the
latest excitement In the visit of Mr.
Franks, the Holnze expert, which Is taken
as positive evidence that the Montana cop
per holder has acquired this Utah prop
er ty. While the mission of Mr. Frank Is
shrouded in that mystery that universally
attends the setting of a large-sized hen,
it Is known that practically every facility
that can be placed I: hid way foi a com
plete examination of the Bingham Con
solidated properties has been afforded him
a course of examination that. In all prob
ability, began with his visit to Ihc smelt
ers ot the company Thursday.
Mission Is Well Guarded.
Np one, apparently, knows the logical
sequence of thlo visit of examination on
the part of the Montana man. the secret
being so well guarded thnt positive In
formation Is impossible to secure. If,
argue some, llelnzo has already secured
control of tho Bingham. Consolidated, he
would have inspected the teeth of his purchase-
before submitting his check thore
for, and if he intended purchasing, it Is
hardly likely that he would have bulled
the stock so religiously as he Is reported
to have done. Those who adhere to the
Corum theory assert that the friendly re
lations existing between Corum and
Helnze. and their many additional mu
tual Interests, would point to the conclu
sion that llelnzo is in on the big Corum
consolidation. They do not explain, how-
over, why Hoinze disposed of his United
Copper company at a time when it would
be a valuable addition to an enterprise of
magnitude such as the Corum deal.
Awaiting Boston Information.
Tn certain Boston circles of financial Im
portant Iho suggestion thnt the Ameri
can Smelting and Refining company Is
the power behind thp movement la "ridi
culed as unworthy of serious contempla
tion, although this theory, up to the date
of Mr. Franks's visit, was the favorlto
one In this city. From experience gained
through the big consolidations of the pres
ent year, the wls ones aro straining their
ears Boston-way. walling for the hen to
cackle th news lo Hie greatly perturbed
financial world.

WHAT IS A COMET?
Present Theory as to What Its Head
nnd Tail Consist Of.
Wliat Is a comet? L'p to tho tlmo of the
Renalssunco a comet was universally supposed
to be a vapor In the atmosphere, presaging
pestilence, wars, and tho death of Kings. Tho
Danish astronomer Tycho was the first to show
that comets lay In the celestial npacc6 beyond
our almosphero and Newton proved tlat tho
heads of comets obeyed tho law of gravita
tion, like other celestial bodies.
We can now say .with considerable n.taur
anco that a comet's head constats of a swarm
of meteors surrounded and Inlersperaed with a
gaseous atmosphere which renders It lumin
ous, and therefore visible, by continuous In
ternal discharges. When tho atmosphcro dis
appears, nnd the discharges cease, the head
becomes visible, and tho comet becomes a
Hlmplo meteor swarm
The most puzzling thing nboul a comet has
always been Its tall, and It Is only within tho
ln.H few years that we havo begun to know
enough nbout matter In a finely divided state
to bo able to offer any satisfactory explana
tion for It. Its most obvious peculiarity Is
that It docs not obey the law of gravitation.
That tho tall la gaseous Is clearly proved by
tho spectroscope, tho banded spectrum having
been traced 10 a distance ot 3,0O0.OC"J miles
from tho head ot Swift's Comet (1S&?. A.)
According to tho modern theory ofclcctrI
clty. the Bun Is a negatively charged hotly,
from whose surface vast numbers of minute
bodies called corpuscles aro being constantly
repelled at velocities not far from 100 000 miles
per second These corpuscles, electrons, or
ions, as they arc uomcllmcs called, nre much
smaller than atoms, and constitute what was
formerly rathor crudely called negative elec
tricity. Those corpuscles that strike tho comot
Immediately attach themselves to the gaseous
molecules surrounding tho head, charging
them negatively, and causing them to bo re
pelled at high speed, not oaly from tho other
molecules forming the head, but particularly
from the direction ot the negatively charged
nun. Tho successive envelopes sometimes
seen surrounding thu nucleus of a comet may
Indicate either somu special activity going on
within the comet Itself, or they may indicate
tho affect of successive waves or corpuscks
shot out fc-om the sun.
A conict'H tall may therefore be described
ns a current of gnscou3 particles receding
from tho head each particle or molecule, car
rying a negative electric charge. A certain
amount of Impalpable dust of a particular
grade of fineness probably accompanies the
gaseous stream. In at least ono cose this dust
was present In suillclcnt quantities to produce
an appreciable effect, but it did not extend
to the cxtremo end of the tall. Prof. W. II.
Pickering, In Mnrper's Magazine.
An Epicurean Puzzle.
A young woman from Philadelphia
was visiting In this city recently When
asked what she would like for break
fast, she replied:
"A fpw half-smokes and a plate of
Hitch aro delightful. We havu them
once a week at home."
Her hostess was puzzled by the un
expected answer. "Half-smokes and
flitch" she had never heard of. but from
the tone of her guest they tvere evi
dently palatable dishes. "Oh, yes, T
forgot that you use different names for
half-smokes and flitch here," said the
young woman, when asked to be ex
plicit, "I think you call them frankfurt
ers and bacon here," New York Even
