The Coconino sun., 1924-07-18

1t is asserted that engineers of
the drillers had prophesied that the
meteor would be found at 1400 feet.
1t actually was found at 1403 feet.
Now, it is said, operations will be
transferred to the outside of the big
cup and a tunnel run to the meteor.
Romance and theory, legend and
speculation have long been woven
into the discussion about this famous
mountain. Scientists have disputed
over the origin of the crater, some
claiming the depression was caused
by the diagonal fall of huge meteor
which gouged the earth into con-
tinuous bank around the place where
it penetrated the ground; others as
sert as positively that the whole thing
was caused by blowout of gasses.
The former theory seemed to have
the edge. Thousands of pounds of
meteor fragments, some of them
weighing hundreds of pounds, were
picked up around the crater. Several
of them are in Flagstaff and Winslow.
Freight carloads were sold and ship
ped by Fred Volz, former proprietor
of the Indian trading post at Canyon

by making flying switches.
A committee asked for sidewalks
both sides of North San Francisco
from Cherry to Elm and the order

The 4nilk ordinance will be amended
to release retail dealers from payment
of the dollar month license fee and
to cut out the clause preventing sale
after the milk is IL hours old.
An ordinance will be drawn re-
quiring householders to use covered
all-metal ash cans. There is a pos
sibility that a garbage collection
wagon will be put into service before

County cooperation is asked in en-,
forcing proper disposal of refuse at

HAVE YOU A LITTLE
AUTO IN YOUR HOME?

Wednesday at County Assessor Billy
Beeson's office the county registering
of automobiles went to No. 1869,
which counting the 100 dealer licenses
issued, means there are 1869 privately
owned cars in operation in this countA'
Last year on December 81 the total
of privately owned cars was only 1435
which means big increase, one that
likely will be much greater by the end
of this year. There were 1902 people
registered in the election year before
last. Comparing, it is evident that
there will be more than one car licen-
sed this year for every two registered
voters in the county.

When moneyed men began drilling
from the rim of the crater a few
years ago their troubles began. They
found underlying rock strata smashed
and far more difficult to get through
than if it had been in its original
state. But it's being smashed, with
sections turned half away from the
horizontal added strength to the
theory that some tremendous force
from the outside had been at work.
The huge rock sections were tipped
in an opposite direction from what
they would have been had the crater
been caused by blowout.
At times the drilIers feared they
would have to give up work. But
last fall they struck. Just before that
they had been going through soft
stuff, and when the rotary drill hit
the surface Of the meteor it ground
the drill to pieces and half wrecked
the derrick.
Perhaps it wasn't meteor the drill
hit. But it was a substance so ter
ribly hard that the company financing
the work firmly believe it was the
meteor and it is said, have arranged to

1t is also said that a prominent

OBITUARY

Florence Amelia Benedict, daught-
or of Jacob and Eleanor Greshel, was
born in Delaware County, Ohio, Sill
1870 In early life upon confession
OF faith in Jesus Christ she united
with the Presbyterian Church, OF
which her parents were members.
Dec. 81, 1891 she married Reuben G.
Benedict, son of Theodore and Susan
Benedict; and four or FIVE years at
terward became a member OF the
Friends Church with her husband.
Their home was blessed with FIVE
children, Gerald Adelbert, Hugh
Conrey, Roland Greshel, Marie FL
eanor and Ruth Adella In 1920 they
moved from Ohio to Idaho. All eff
forts to avoid the encroachments of
disease proved unavailing. She spoke
of engaging in daily prayer, and OF
the Lords presence with her, and
habitually expressed thanks to those
waiting upon her, for any favor. On
l0-11-l924 she fell asleep in Jesus,
aged 81 years and months. Her
eldest son preceded her She leaves
a husband, two sons, two daughters,
four grandchildren, three brothers,
three sisters and other relatives and
friends to cherish her memory.

to be. as the eleventh hour reports
are assembled here, that Governor
Moore's ticket will easily win and the
Democrats will run second.
This is more or less proven as far
as the Democrats are Concerned by
an interesting analysis Of the vote OF
two years ago, just issued by Leslie
Dillingham;. State Chairman of the
Democratic Party. showing his state
ticket ran considerably ahead of the
Progressive State ticket, the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor run
ming about 600 votes behind his
ticket. This time the State Chairman
predicts. the Bourbon candidate for
Governor will run more evenly.
1t is also thought that there will
be at least rs per cent increase in
the vote total this year over 1922,
basing it on the 1920 Ga Presidential
year,, total for Governor, which was
lS,l4o more tnan IN lSzZ.
Wagering on the result of the Cub
ernatorial race here has found even
money on Moore against the field un-
taken, and the hackers of the Govern
or now have been forced to the Civ
ing of odds. several small bets being
placed this week at 2 to |, with very
little Samuels or Freehafer money in
sight. The prevailing odds on the
election of Coolidge are 3 to /, while
it is a to bet that he will carry
the state by $4,000. Several Moore
hackers have posted wagers of even
money that the Governor will be
$4,000 or more ahead when the final
count is made.
