REMARKABLE METEORITE
 FOUND NEAR NAVAJO

Now on exhibition at Navajo is a remarkable meteorite, lately found about 15 miles from that point by Robert Thomas and Carl Hill. It weighs about 4,000 pounds and is 33 inches in extreme diameter. Its ma terial is magnetic metal that is heavier than iron and yet so malleable that it may be hammered without breaking to the thinness of paper. Across the top is deep crack, be- lieved to have been made in remote age when the celestial visitor dropped into water and was suddenly cooled.
 Analyses made show a large per centage, but little platinum, in the latter point differing from the me- teoric fragments gathered around the great crater near Canyon Diablo, west of Holbrook and Navajo. It is notable also that smoothed faces of the Nav ajo meteorite fail to show the Wid- figures usually found and quite prominent in all the Canyon Di- ablo fragments. These figures are developed by the use of acid and, fancifully, have been imagined writ ings by means of which the people of other spheres have attempted to com municate with the inhabitants of the earth.

BIG WIND AT NEEDLES
 DOES MUCH DAMAGE

At 5:15 last Sunday afternoon Needles was visited by one of the worst wind storms in it's history. A rain cloud came up from the south ac- companied by strong wind and an- other came off the mountains to the west. The latter was also accompan- jed by wind but of milder velocity. The clouds and wind currents seem to have met southeast of town and the one from the south being considerably stronger caused whirlwind of great velocity to sweep through the city, do- ing damage to all kinds of property, but with few exceptions, the damage was not of serious nature. The storm was accompanied by rain and sharp and frequent flashes of light ming and it certainly had the ear marks of fair-sized hurricane, the velocity of the wind being probably fifty or sixty miles an hour. Had it been no miles an hour, as stated in a report to county seat papers, there would be no Needles today, and the loss of life would have been great. As 1t is no one was even hurt, which seems miracle in itself.
 The loss of property damaged by the wind will run into hundreds of dollars but the greatest loss is to the many trees uprooted in the various parks and throughout the entire city, which are total loss and will take several years to replace.-Needles Nugget.

Facial decorations were less costly, the amount spent on paints, cosmet- ics and perfumes amounting to $145,- 019, 100, as compared with $160,693,- OPS in 1921.
 The country's spending also fell off considerably in other lines, the total outlay on automobiles being $1 1,675,- 763, 800 as against s2,008,665,0S0 in 1920, and on jewelry to $486,076, 100 as against $517, 7,272,140 in 1920.

DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS WILL PICTURE "VIRGINIAN"
 NEAR HOLBROOK

Douglas Fairbanks will film another movie close to Holbrook, according to the statement made to the editor of the Holbrook Tribune, Wednesday, by Doran H. Cox, assistant director of the Douglas Fairbanks movie com pany. Mir. Cox states that it is the intention to film "The Virginian," the author being that noted writer, Owen Mister. Mir. Cox states that parts of the play will be reproduced from diff erent sections of the country. That portion of the story which had as its location at Medicine Boy, Wyoming, is to re-enacted at Holbrook. MT. Cox toured many sections of the west in search of a place having a similar setting to Medicine Bow. It was his good fortune this week to find exact ly what he wanted about five miles south of Holbrook, on the line of the Apache railway. He states that the place selected has the exact appear ance of Medicine Bow-low, rolling hills, bare of trees, and in all respects almost duplicate of the town in Wyoming made famous by Owen Wis ter in 'The Virginian."

TWO VALLEY WOMEN BADLY BURNED AT
 SLOVENIAN LAKE

Mrs. A. N. Crawford of Clarkdale is lying today at the United Verde hospital suffering from severe burns on face and arms, and Mrs. H. P. Hughes of Clarkdale is at her home, badly burned about the arms.
 The ladies and their husbands were spending short vacation at Stoneman Lake and when they went to prepare dinner they noticed that the gasoline stove installed in the cabin was leaking, the discovery being made just after they had started the fire. Mrs. Hughes called to her hus- band to come and stop the leak, but before he could enter the cabin, the stove exploded and scattered the blaz- ing gasoline over both women. The force of the explosion blew the door of the cottage shut and it was several minutes before Hughes could render effective aid.
 The men of the party realized that the women were in need of immediate medical aid and hastily prepared for the long automobile journey home. With the innate perversity that some times characterizes inanimate things,
  the Hughes car refused to act proper ly and a Ford was hastily borrowed from neighboring rancher. The long journey ended about o'clock this morning just below Camp Verde when the United Verde ambulance met the party and made quick trip with the suffering women to the hospital
 As stated, Mrs. Hughes burns, while extremely painful, were not ser ious and she was able to return to her home. Mrs. Crawford's condition is not considered at all dangerous, but she will be compelled to remain at the hospital for several days. MT. Hugh es is in the railroad department of the United Verde and MT. Crawford is assistant assayer of the company Jerome Copper News.

GRAND GRANTED PER- MT FOR POWER SITE
 AT BOULDER CANYON

On Tuesday of last week the Feder- al Power commission at Washington, D. C., granted a preliminary permit to James B. Grand, of Phoenix, for the development of 150,000 horse power of hydro-electric power.
 The site for development of this huge amount of power is on the Colo rado river, near the mouth of Diamond creek in Mohave county, and it is pro- posed to generate sufficient power to electrify the inter-mountain section of the Santa Fe railway, furnish pow CT and lights for all the towns in northern and central Arizona and fur nish the necessary power for all in- dustries in this section.
 Until about three years ago MT. Grand was city engineer for Phoenix, which position he gave up that he might work out the details of this project, which he has been working on for the last decade.
 There are now eight different com panies working for the control of this huge power project. Its development will mean the spending of many mill ions of dollars.

THIS POOR BOOTLEGGER
 SURE HAD FIERCE LUCK

All is not velvet for the bootlegger. One was recently getting on San Diego train bound for Los Angeles with a grip full of genuine goods from across the line. As he put his foot on the first step the handle of his precious grip gave away and the grip fell to the sidewalk. He left hurriedly for parts unknown with the piece of the strap handle while the passengers soon congregated around the spot and took good whiff of the banned stuff. As the train pulled out the station agent kicked the grip in side the station. You may guess the rest of the story.-Needles Nugget.

ADDITIONAL STATE NEWS
THINK FAMOUS SWIND- LER WANTED TO BUY
 BANK AT FLAGSTAFF

Charles w. French, who is mention ed Sn the Associated Press dispatches as one of the heads of the million dol lar swindle and who has been arrest . ed along with John w. Worthington, a Chicago banker, for organizing the most gigantic swindle ever perpetra- ted in the country is supposed to be one c. w. French who was operating in this state about ten years ago.
 c. w. French came here as a pro- moter of various schemes all of which were suspicious on the face of them. He was negotiating also for the pur- chase of bank at Flagstaff. Stories of his operations reached the authori- ties of Salt Lake, who sent to James G. Simpson, then of the reportorial staff of The Republican, list of ques- tions amounting to questionnaire concerning the activities of MT. French.
 It appeared that throughout his op- erations here he was skating on ex- ceedingly thin ice, but it held his weight. But the Utah authorities be- lieved they had the goods on him and sought his extradition. They sent an agent here to take him back. A hear ing on the application for a warrant of extradition in which French was represented by Robert s. Fisher, took place before Governor Hunt, who fin ally refused to issue the warrant.
 The liveliest interest was taken all over the country in the proceedings. Papers in Chicago, New York, Pitts burg and other eastern cities kept the wires hot with their demands for news about French.
 It appeared that he also was wanted at Akron, Ohio, where, by the way, according to the dispatches of yestes- day, one of thee associates of French was taken into custody.

Forest Ranger Fred Croxen, for merly here, now at Reno Ranger sta- tion, near Roosevelt, writes the editor of The Sun:
 Dear MT. Breen:
 Pretty fine down here in Tonto Ba- sin. This country went through an lS-months' drought, but since the sum- mer rains started everybody wears a broad smile-especially rang stock. Roosevelt lake has raised 16.S1 feet in the last six weeks, which is very unusual for this time of year. Should you, or any Flagstaff peo- pie pass through this way, Mrs. Crox- en and I will be glad to have you visit us."
 Very truly yours,
