When the gigantic meteor fell Kissing INTO
the earth, if it did so. the conclusion must
have been terrific And in this connection 1t is
interesting to note that the Indians near by have
legend about a huge star falling out OF the
heavens and dazzling the tribe with its bright
ness. Then there was great shock and sud-
den darkness and ever since then the Indians
have regarded Meteorite Mountain with awe.
Some idea of the action Of the meteorte can
be obtained by throwing a stone into the mud
When the meteorite buried itself far INTO the
earth the sides heaved up leaving q rim
like circle about the depression. AS the meteorlte
sank into the earth it must have crushed layers
Of red sandstone and limestone. 1t is believed
that the white sand found in the crater and on
the sides of the mountain is from the sandstone
pulverized by the meteor in its descent. This
sand blown skyward and afterward settled
down the mountain, covering it thickly No
sand like it is to be found the mountain
Men searching the ground surrounding the
mountain for a distance of several miles find
small meteOrites. Several of these weigh as
uch one thousand pounds, and others weigh
only a fraction of an ounce The largest
pieces were found furthest from the mountain.
These meteOrites have been proved to be practi-
cally magnetic. This may explain why the
immense body of iron in the buried meteor has
not shown any magnetic properties. Needles
taken to the mountain have not shown the pres
cnce of any great magnetic attraction, and this
fact puzzled scientists until it found that
the fragments found near the mountain did not
possess magnetism.
Another interesting discovery is the presence
of what is called iron shale' near the mountain.
These fragments of burned or dead" iron.
They might have been broken from the meteorite
at the time of the terrific impact or they might
have been snapped from the larger body owing
a sudden cooling process Inasmuch as the

been brought forth-that the meteor fell into

In former times the making of a religious
statue was costly undertaking. and only rich
men could afford the luxury of placing such
works of art as votive offerings in private and
public chapels and churches. Nowadays, too,
the original figure, whether carved by the
sculptor in marble or hard wood naturally pre-

I'm the hope of uncovering the secret OF Meteoflte

this great crater was really made by the fall OF
the largest meteor that ever plunged into the
bosom of the earth.
For years men have been examining Metorlte
Mountain Theories without number have been
advanced, but few of them have had more than
presumption to back them up. But in recent
years a common meeting ground for these theo-
lists has been found-the hypothesis that it was
caused by the fall of immense meteorlte,
whose vast bulk is still buried man knows
how many feet below the crater. Acting on this
theory a number of energetic Americans have
combined science and business and have begun
to sink shafts to find the meteorite. If such
vast body of metal is there, why not mine it
and at the same time benefit science by proving
the truth of the theories of those who have gone
sown far enough to uncover anything tangible?
knv dav the secret of Meteorite Mountain may
be wrested from nature.
The mountain is about two hundred feet high
And there are. few stunted pines about its for
bidding looking slopes. Going to the top of this
mountain over huge masses of strange looking
rock one will find a great depression, generally
called the crater. though there are no evidences
OF it's volcanic formation. This crater is a huge
bowl one mile across and six hundred feet deep
The winds of the desert have blown much sand
into the crater evidently covering the bottom
Of the depression to a depth of many feet. There
Is a level space of about forty acres in the bot
