A MESSAGE FROM MARS

About fifteen miles from Navojo
Apache county, Arizona, Carl Hill
and myself found and dug out a
large mass of metal. We at once
determined it meteorite 1t was
hauled to Navajo and placed on ex-
hibition at Clifton Hills Indian trad
ing store, July 10. 1921
This Navajo meteorite is about 26
inches high, 33 inches in diameter
at the. top and inches in diameter
at the bottom and weighs about 1000
pounds. 1t is composed entirely OF
metal which is magnetic and is
heavier than iron, is about 4 to 5
in hardness; is malleable, can be
fattened to the thickness of paper
without cracking.
On the top are many strange
marks or characters Is it possible
that Mars, wishing to communicate
with us, shot this mass of nickel
iron to Earth with her (Mars) mes
sage cut into it?
Professors of geology and ethnol-
ogy are Investigating this meteorite
to see if it of the rare class known
as ataxites. Pieces were broken off
where a large crack runs across the
top and sent away to be anaIyzed as
to the amount of platinum content
So far authorities claim (on determ-
inattion) that it does not contain
platinum in paying quantities. Some
of the pieces were etched and do not
show the socalled Widmanstatten
figures that are shown by etching
meteoric iron in great majority of
cases. The Canyon Diablo meteor
ties show the Widmanstatten figures
therefore our find has no connection
with that fall
l believe our Navajo meteorite fell
in the Triassic age and fell into the
water covering this part of Arizona
The crack running across the top
looks to me as if it cooled very sud-
denly, and as it was half exposed
when we dug it out, it looks like it
fell many. many centuries ago and
now the gradually eroding away of
this country has left it on the sur
face.
I am a prospector and not a geol
ogist, so will leave these questions
to others to answer:
l. Is it meteoric or terresial
iron?
g. If mteoric, when did it fall?
2 8. Does it contain platinum or
diamonds?
f. Isn't it possible that fumeroles
(gas blowouts) are caused by met
eorites sinking into the earth far
enough to ignite the gas?
< Is if q message from MarS2
g. If so, what is the message?

CLEAN UP DRIVE PROGRESSES

The progress of the Cleanup Drive
to bring government aid to disabled
veterans is meeting with varied sue

M0HAvE COUNTY GOLD FIELDS

In the gold fields of Mohave coun-
ty there is much interesting news
OF development and discovery in the
last issue Of the Mohave County
Miner. Principal among this news
is recent strike of good ore in the
Oatman United which lies Just
above and to the east of the town
OF Oatman. The vein system of the
Oatman United is practically the
same and a continuation of the Oat-
man Gold which has been developed
to considerable depth and seemed to
have quit Just at a time when the
prospects were the most promising
Down in the Katherine section
nearer the Colorado river the Gold
Chain is exposing some good ore
Much other development is going on
in this particular section. Across
the river on the Nevada side on
what appears an extension o. a con-
tinuation of the Katherine zone a
new town has sprung up named Tri-
state in honor of its adiacency to
the corners of the three states of
Arizona, Nevada and California A
considerable exploration work is be-
being done here on the Nevada
Katherine property and numerous
other claims in the district are be-
ing prospected. In the Silver Greek
country below Goldroad, the Moss
back isf preparing for extensive de-
velopment and the installation of a
reduction plant. At the Amalgam-
ated in which many people in this
part of the state are interested pre-
parations are being made to take up
the work of further exploitation
Some good ore has been found on
this property but insufficient ex-
ploring has yet been done on the
veins to block out the pay shoots.
One of the most promising pieces
of news in the older part of the
Oatman country is the announce
ment that work will be started very
soon on the Oatman Gold and the
United Western.

ROAD SITUATION IMPROVING

The road situation along the line
of the National Old Trails across
Navajo county has been somewhat
embarrassing to motorists this week.
The heavy storms of Saturday ev-
ening to the north and east of Win
slow caused heavy food of water
in the Cottonwood wash which re-
suited in the cutting away of the
northerly approach to the county
bridge a few miles east of here to-
ward Holbrook. Supervisor Cres-
we'll left early Sunday morning on
receipt of the news and in a few
hours had temporary repairs. A
county gang is now at work placing
a rock fill and riprapping the up
stream exposure. At st. Joseph an
approach to bridge was also wash
ed out and Supervisor Richards of
that place has men and teams at
work repairing the damage done by
the food waters.
The roads have been exceedingly
muddy for several days due to the
frequent showers although motor
traffic has continued to plow it's
way through. A few days of sun
shine will quickly eliminate the
mud and as the rainy season should
be about it's close, the sunshine is
to be expected. What about drag
ging the roads?
