ARGENTINE EXPLORER IS
 FINDER OF OLD METEORIYE
Body That Fell BOO Years Ago Has Been Lost Since 18f2-Weighs
 About 8 Tons

Buenos Aires, April 5.--A meteorite, which is said to have fallen in the territory of Chaco, Argentina. 300 years ago and which has been the ob- jcct of numerous expeditions since 1774, has been rediscovered by the ex- plorers, Le Berthon, Santillan, Bellot- ii and Alzugaray, who have sent a fragment weighing one kilo to the government of the Province of San- tiago Del Estero.
 Traces of the meteorite were found and the place where it fell was known before 1912, but subsequently, it was lost, after which several expeditions failed to locate it. It is said that it was about. the middle of the seven- tenth century when Spaniards guided by the Vilelas Indians found the great meteoric mass half buried in the sand. The place was named Campo Otumpa, and an analysis made of the meteorite in 1912 showed that it consisted of meteoric iron, pure nickel and cobalt. One piece was taken to Buenos Aires and another sent to the British Muse um. Two pistols are said to have been made from the metal and presented to the President of the United States as token of appreciation for his sympathy toward Argentine inde- pendence.
 The discovery is likely to cause not only much scientific discussion, but much public interest in the outcome of the discoverers' claim to the re- ward of 2,0o0 gold pesos and ten square leagues of land which the gov ernment of Santiago Del Estero de- creed in 1873 for the discovery of the meteorite.
 The mass, it is asserted, weighs more than fifty-seven tons. It meas ures 2.S9 metres in length, 1.S2 in width and LAO in thicknss

MILLIONS INVOLVED
 IN NEW OIL LEASES
tcontinued from First Page,


 and Harreld, and other government officials. Not the least picturesque part of the affair was the presence of a delegation of osages, to watch the money roll in.
 Some one has suggested that the Brewster of fiction need not have been driven toward nervous prostra- ton in spending million a year: with one nod of his head at an Osage sale he could have spent 1t all and more. And in return he might have the right to drill on a tract that will never show anything but dry holes.
 $8S,7f5,076 fin Early Sales.
 The 20 sales prior to today brought Into the treasury of the Osages a to- tai of $6s,715,976, representing leases on more than six hundred thousand acres. Besides. the Indians collect royalty on all oil produced.
 Real High Bidding
 Col. F. w. Walter has conducted all the Osage sales since the first in 1912. Little jumps up of the bidding scale, at a hundred thousand dollars a clip mean nothing to him. In monotonous tones he calls:
 What am I offered?"
 Mine hundred thousand dollars. Who'll make 1t million?" and so on.
 The composure of the silent oil kings as they spend million or more with slight nod of the head is the wonder of the visitor. The heavy bidders sit about the house. studying maps, faces masked like images and when pointed to by the auctioneer, nod if they decide to bid the price called for.
 Not all the tracts fall in the mill lionaire class. Most of them go for amounts under $100,000.
