HAS WILD RIDE ON FLAT CAR,
Gale Blows Second John Glpln Down
Grade Thirty-Five Miles.

Abilene, TeX.-A citizen OF London
and 'train-bana captain" whose adj
venture. are related in Cowper's hui
mOrous poem, "The Diverting History
of John Gilpin, showing how he went
farther than he intended. and came
safe home again." is not the only per-
son who has had such experience.
Henry James, cashier of the Farm
ers' and Merchants bank Of Abilene,
and a fiat car on which he was walk
ing, were blown 35 miles down grade
on a Texas plateau-"farther than he
intended"-and he, too, came safe
home again" with his hair full OF
sand and his neck chapped from n.y.
ing ahead of the wind.
At the time the cashier mounted TIE
car it was attached to construction
train on the Roscoe & Snyder railroad,
but few minutes later it was side
tracked. Then came a furious gale,
and away went James and his nat
car, as only things can go before the
breezes that blow from the Rockies
across the Panhandle country.
James and his car didn't stop until
they reached Roscoe, where the up
| grade begins.

This is election year, but all the
voting in the country cannot do any
mart of the work of raising a crop.
Don't let the politician eat up your
time too much. 1t is the duty OF every
citizen to post himself on the issues
of the day, and it is his duty to vote
on every question that comes up, but
this does not mean that he should at
tend all the conventions he can hear
of and roll up his sleeves for every
candidate who wants him to use his
influence"

BIG OPERATIONS PLANNED
FOR NATIONAL DISTRICT

On Charleston hill the lcasers are
very active with large lodges of ore in
sight TO encourage them.
Harvey & Arnold made a small ship
ment of their very rich ore a short time
ago and the returns showed values of
$50 a pound in gold. Ore is being
taken put daily that shows more yellow
metal thar rock. While this fabulously
rich ore adds greatly to the values in
the camp, more interest, however, is
taken in the large quantities of lower
grade material that are fast being de-
veloped.
National has a bright future, for
many of the big operators in southern
Nevada are becoming interested in
properties there and as they represent
big capital it means something to the
camp.
Nj. Gundaker is here to meet w. B.
Ogden, who is expected to arrive here
! Friday, when both will Immediately
leave for the camp to arrange for
greater development. George Holleran
of Goldfeld, who has interests there, is
expected next Sunday and will also

BIG METEoRITE FOUND
ON A NEVADA DESERT

A meteorite weighing about 1000
pounds was placed this week in the
vaults of the Tonopah Banking cor
poration, by the purchaser, Eugene
Howell.
The meteor was found near Goat
Ranch springs, about l25 miles east of
Tonopah.
Professor w. p. Jenny, the geologist
and mining engineer who was employed
some time ago to examine the meteor,
caused an assay to be made in Tono-
pah, and one in Rochester, New York.
Both ASSAYS showed that it contained
from 5 to 10 per cent Of nickel, and
about 90 per cent of meteoric iron.
Upon sawign off a section the Widman-
stantian figures were shown very plain
ly. This one test proved beyond a
doubt that it was a meteor. The figures
are peculiar, however, in that they are
grouped in a different manner than
usual, being equilateral triangies over
tapping.
The metal value of the meteor is only
about $500, but as it is a most remark
able specimen, it will probably sell for
MANY times that amount.
1t was found only partially imbedded
in the ground, showing that it must
have struck at an angle. The exposed
portion of the meteor shows unmistak-
able evidence that it landed in a mol
ten or semi molten condition.
This is believed to be the meteor
which in 1898 passed over Candelaria,
going from west to east, passing over
the present site of Tonopah.

the T%onopah Sun.
He believes the return indicates flu
