DIGGING FOR A METEOR.
One Worth Billions of Dollars Be.
lieved to Be in Arizona.

Several years ago a syndicate of
mining men began sinking shaft in
Arizona to reach the largest dia-
mond in the world, believed to be no
less than half a mile thick. This
shaft is now 1900 feet deep. Three
or four hundred feet more. it Is ez-
pected. will reveal the great prize.
The scene of this most wonderful
mining operation Is Meteor Noun
tain, Ariz. The mountain is such in
name, only, as it is little more than
butte, rising 200 or 800 feet above
the desert, about 10 miles from Can
yon Diabolo Station, on the Sante
Fe Railroad.
Viewed from a distance Meteor
Mountain looks little different from
the countless other buttes that rear
their heads above the southwestern
desert. But as soon as one begins
to climb it's sides, strewn with mete-
oric fragments, he realizes that he is
on the threshold of one of the worlds
greatest scientific mysteries.
From the top of the mountain"
one gazes into a howl-like depres-
sion in the earth 900 feet deep and
a mile across. 1t is in appearance
like a volcanic crater.
Scientists agree that this crater
marks the place where a giant mete-
orite, as large as the circumference
of the bowl would indicate, struck
the earth in ages past, perhaps a
million of years ago, and buried itself
deep in the bowels of the earth
just how deep it is the purpose of the
mining syndicate to find out.
When this giant mass struck the
earth there was no butte there; the
butte was created when the meteorite
struck, it's tremendous weight dis
placing strata of rock, sending huge
clouds of dust into the air and form
ing the mountain" as it exists to-
day.
After the meterite sank into the
earth the sand and dust settled into
the depression. The drift of ages sift-
ed over the edges of the huge bowl
and assisted in the work of covering
the meteorite.
But the most remarkable thing
about this meteorite, apart from it's
prodigious size, is the fact that in all
probability it consists of one huge
diamond! This is inferred from the
fact that numerous large fragments
of the meteorite found in the crater,
and which are unusually heavy, were
found, upon Investigation, to contain,
besides meteoric iron, large, hard
black diamonds of great value.
Even if the meteor itself consists
only of black diamonds it's value
would be quite inconceivable, for a
good black diamond, though worth
less as a gem, is worth even more
than a white one for mechanical pur-
poses. 1t is quite probable, however,
that the bulk of the meteor consists
of white diamond, in which event
there would not be enough wealth in
the world to pay for it at the current
price of the precious stone.
The largest diamonds in the world
including the Koh-i-noor, the Culli-
nan, the Great Mogul of Russia, the
Orioff, the Great Premier diamond,
the Tiffany diamond, the Etolie Pol
aire, and dozen others Of the same
standard, worth in the aggregate
hundreds of millions of dollars, might
all be placed together in an ordinary
derby hat and not reach the top. This
meteoric diamond, scientists believe,
must be at least half mile thick!

ROBINSON 49. DONAGHEY 3

While discussing the Governors race at c. D. Singers drug store this morning, some one of the hall dozen citizens present suggested that a 'straw vote" be taken to as- certain the preference for Governor Fer an hour every voter who entered or passed the store was asked to eX- press his choice. F'ifty-fwo voters were questioned. and withous. eXcep- ton they readily stated their prefer ences. The returns" gave Robin sen 49 votes and Donaghey 8. How ever, as two of the three who favored Donaghey were Republicans, the fig ures should be, Robinson 49, Don aghey 1. While it is openly charged tha,. Governor Donaghey is spending large sums of money ill his eff2rt to secure renomination, we believe tE.2t with the possible exception of two townships, the official returns of Yell County will be in about ,he ratio shcwn above.-Dardanelle Post Dispatch.

ADVERTISING BY TELEPHONE
New Scheme to Annoy Subscribers Now in Use in Paris-Former
 Unusual Methods.

The latest advertising nuisance in impress upon the subscribers the merits of articles offered for sale. A correspondent of the New York Times writes about the subject as follows:
 Tt is no longer possible for any one to find peace far from the madding crowd, in either home or office. En- terprising canvassers have found out the most direct and sure way of get ting at everybody personally and seem utterly undaunted by the threats which irate subscribers shower on them, in response, for the voice from the other end of the wire continues imperturbably with the evenness and unconcern of talking machine until the receiver is finally banged down.
 "This new nuisance, which is now the talk of Paris, is due to the cam- paign carried out by the city council against the distribution of handbills in public thoroughfares, which was chiefly responsible for keeping the city in a permanent state of untidi- ness.
 "When the advisability of putting OF each handbill a prohibitive tax was first discussed at the City Hall last summer all sorts of alternative de- vices for cheap advertising imme- diately were invented Men gifted with stentorian voices were hired to stand outside shops and restaurants and shout the bill of fare and special ties of each firm to the astounded 'passers-by.
 They soon lost voice, however, and when replaced by well-trained parrots the police interfered. The marking on the pavements of the names of vari- bus goods was also found insufficient. bs, the3:police regulation prohibited the use. of coloririg : matter. and. chalk marks disappeared in "a few seconds.

 Traffic Manager Sheridan, of the Chamber of Commerce, urged that a large appropriation be obtained from the legislature for bringing immi- grants to the state and advertising the advantages which the state can offer to settlers. He urged that as much as $20O,O00 be spent in the next four or five years. Mr. Sheridan stat ed that nothing could be accomplished by spending small amounts, but that the state must go at big proposition in a big way.
 The delegates from ths county were enthusiastic.

The Cheapest Advertising Medium.

Bricks at SIS thousand may be cheaper than bricks at $5 thousand, if 9S per cent of the former are sound and usable, and 80 per cent of the lat ter are so misshaped. broken and oth- erwise marred as to be unfit for use in the walls of substantial building.
 You can't calculate the worth of an advertising medium to your business in terms of it's rate per 1000 circu- lation without reference to the qual- ity of that circulation. Circulation bricks have sometimes only very thin plating of gold
 The cheapest advertising medium you can use is the one which yields the highest return per dollar invested in it's space.

PROHIBITING POISONOUS
 MATCHES

Another bill which has bsen much neglected is ,he Esch bill introduced by John Esch of Wisconsin,, which prohibits the use of posonous phos~ phcrus in the manufacture of matches. Where this poisonous in gtedient is used, the employees of euch factories frequently get what is called the phossy-jaw' from tho touch of ,he phosphorus which de- stroys the jaw-bone, thereby depriv- ing such victims from the use Or jaws i'll chewing their food. This .phossy-jaw' ia more terrible than deash itself because it is a horrible lingering death, and it Is singular that Congress has nc. had sufficient regard fer the welfare of the public to have caused it to pass this bill before now. Especially in view of the fact that fhe difference in cost between the poisonous phosphorus ard .he ,s harmless kind is :, very small. d

Year in Antartic.

Wellington, N. Z.-Captain Robert

carried the British expedition to the
antarctic, has arrived at Akaroa, a
harbor in Banks peninsula, New Zea-
land, but has not brought back Cap
tain Scott or the members of his ex-
pedition. The commander Of the
Terra Nova. brought instead the fol-
lowing brief message from Captain
Scott:
81 am remaining in the antarctic
for another winter in order to con-
tinue and complete my work"
The latest news sent back by Cap.
tain Scott to his base at McMurdo
Sound showed that January 3 he had
reached a point $50 miles from the
South Pole and was still advancing.
It was clear that had the explorer
delayed sending back notification Of
his progress until he actually reach
ed the pole, word from him could not
have been received by the Terra Nova
before she was compelled to leave, ow-
