THE BIG METEORITE.

The New York Museum, which al
ready contains 80 meteoritic fragments,
has not yet succeeded in annexing the
Acton arolite which is lying on an is
land near Cape York, Greenland.
Lieut. Peary has had to return without
it. The machinery taken out for the
purpose of tackling it proved too weak
and it had to be left behind till next
year. 1t appears the natives have been
using it for some time as source of
workable iron, and on that account
the honesty of carrying it off without
compensation is somewhat question
able. The least thing the Yankee can
do is to ballast the vessel they send
for it with pig-iTOn, and leave pile
of the latter in place of the coveted
specimen.

AND AUTHOR
Joseph A. Altsheler, Who Repre-
scented the World Here in 1898.


Those acquainted with Joseph A.
Altshelder, who was in Honolulu as
the representative of the New York
World in 1898, will be interested to
learn that he has turned his attention
to story writing. BY a recent mail
United States Consul General Mills re-
ceived two volumes, THE Rainbow of
Cold and its sequel, THE Hidden
Mine published for Mr.. Altsheler by
]. Selwin Tail & Sons of New York
City The story is of the experiences
of two boys who crossed the American
continent during the gold fever and
fornia There are plenty of hair
breadth escapes from Indians on the
plains, and exciting ARRAYS with the
tough crowd that frequented the gold
fields in the early days. The theme
is not unlike the usual Indian stories,
except that the author has fought shy
of bringing in heroine with beautiful
face, wavy locks, etc., etc. The story
is told in an easy going, readable news
paper style, with no words wasted on
and unusual pen pictures.
Mr.. Altsheler, who is an old time
friend of Mr.. Mills, is a Louisville,
KY, boy who started in with news
paper work on the Louisville Courier
Journal. He then went on the New
York World where he was assigned to
do" the Chicago Exposition. Later
in the same year he came to the ISL
ands. After his return to the States
he supplemented his newspaper work
with writing for leading magazines.
He is now on the editorial staff of the
World.

There was a deafening roar, and the

exaggerated tin horns formed a fit ac-

Long was there before him and took

to make any gain, and Parker kicked
the ball, which was caught by Corn
well on the second bounce. A gain of

He was among the first who set
tied in the valley and as soon as
practical he divided up the large
tract Of land, which he owned, in
to small farms, selling it to worthy
poor, and receiving his pay from
the products of the soil. His lib
erality in this regard is one of the
reasons that so few mortgages have
been filed on farm property in this
part of the valley.
He assisted, in 1916, in hosting
the American flag in Tucson, being
a member of the Mormon battalion
which saved Arizona to the Union.
He was with these dauntless path
finders when they travelled over
the blistering sand, living on an
allowance Of 4 ounces Of flour per
day and one canteen Of water. 1t

One portion of the store is de-

quiring four figures to state the

ICE FACTORY
AND CREAMERY.

In country where the themome-
tor never goes below zero in the
winter, and the summers are as
warm as in the eastern states, eX-
cepting the excessively hot days,
ice at reasonable cost is luxury
which is confined in Arizona to a
very few towns.
Thatcher and Stafford have an
ice plant which is of the latest in
vention. 1t is made by the Schula
manufacturing company, of San
Antonio, and has many valuable
improvements over the old system;
such as reconvertors for saving the
ammonia etc, The capacity is six
tons per diem.
The Creamery and Cheese fac
tory is a model of utility. The
former is equipped with all the latest
steam curd presses, cutting aps
paratus etc. In the creamery is
the DeLeval separator, a continuous
stream of milk comes out Of one
spout, the cream pouring out Of an
other portion of the machine. A
steam rotary churn, large butter
worker, cement floor etc. are among
the leading features Of the Tbatch-
er creamery.
Cold storage for the preserva-
ton Of butter, meats etc. have been
added.
An eighty horse engine will
furnish the power for the cream
cry and ice factory. The main
stack is eighty feet high, zone foot

1t is common custom in the

The stock comprises everything
from that which is solid and sub
stantial to the many little nick
nacks and notions so dear to the
feminine heart. There is a general
line Of groceries. dry goods, boots
and shoes that, like "the rock Of

time.
Mr.. Damron is agent for the d.
M, Ferry seed house, Of Detroit,

chester, New York. Mr.. Ferry

1t is unnecessary to give a gen
eral resume Of either the business
or the stock; as general mercan-
tile store in western country is
required to carry almost every
thing.
The building is good substan-
tial brick.
During the many years that Mr..
Damron has shared the privations
and prosperity of the toilers Of the

spent in official positions. In ad-
dition to holding the position Of
Probate Judge he has, in his capa-

PRODUCE DEALERS.


In the midst of all prosperous
farming communities are found
general merchandise and exchange
stores that supply all the necessi,
ties of life and take the place of
commission merchants and produce
exchanges in the large cities.
One of those well known in the
Gila valley is Zundel & Fuller,
dealers in general merchandise and
buyers and shippers of produce.
The stock comprises fancy and
staple groceries, a full line of boots
and shoes, specially made for Ari-
zona trade and climate, ready made
clothing of dorable texture and ar
tistic pattern, dress goods at II
reasonable price and uneXcelled
quality, builders hardware, granite
ware, tin ware, glass and crockery
ware, etc.
|. E. d. Zundel, tho senior men,
Der, is one of the leading property
owners of the valley. His COM
mercial standing is among the best.
He owns one of the finest farms in
the valley; it is in "a high state of
cultivation.
He established the only success
full colony of Indians, in 1877, in
the United States, the Shoshones,
who, under his careful tuition be.
came expert farmers. 1t takes a
thorough understanding of the
characteristics of the Aborigine OF
North America TO divert them from
the war path to the path which
leads to self support and good
citizenship; these requirements Mr.
Zundel possesses, as his past his
tory shows; and if the general gov
ernment would employ more such
men as Indian farmers there would
be less complaint that the noble
red man is nomodic and worthless
Both of these gentlemen have
shown their abiding faith in the
future Of the county by erecting
