THINKS METEOR IS
VERY NEAR TO
SANTA ROSA
DR., JONES SAYS CAREFUL
SEARCH WILL LOCATE II
Fiery Visitor Plainly Seen From
San Pedro and Observations
Place Its Landing Within Ten
Miles of Guadalupe Town.

According to DR.. Fayette A. Jones
the well known mining expert and
geologlst. the great meteor which fell
In New Mexico Monday afternoon and
which struck the earth with such i'm
pact as to shake houses In Santa Rosa,
should be found within ten miles of
that town. probably to the north and
a little bit east. DIR. Jones believes
that a careful search should discover
the meteor and says hat had he tho
time he would make the search him
self. since II Is undoubtedly n OF
great magnitude and posseSsin great
interest TO the scientist.
Rr. Jones received the. following
letter from r. G. Buell. OF San Pedro:
San Pedro. n. NJ, Sept. 10. 1907.
Prof. Jones.
Dear sir.-Referrlng to the artlcl,
In the Journal, the meteor was seer
by a lady who was walking near the
summit OF the San Pedro mountains,
passing very near her and apparently
falling into the San Lazarus gulch,

over the brow of The mountain. she
not being on the extreme summit, but
