idea was that of the scientists who
claimed that every indication could
be accounted for by the ordinary
theory of blow outs. They said that
the occurrences at Meteor mountain
could be duplicated in hundred
other places in the state and that
there was nothing at all out of the
ordinary.
The first attempt at practical
solution of the mystery-and there
could be but one, to dig in the path
of the disturbance-was the sinking
of a shaft in the center of the era
ter and the running of drift to the
point where more or less doubtful
mathematical computations showed
that the chief mass might be expect
ed to lie.
Such a shaft was actually begun
by the old company and the shaft
was sunk some 300 or $50 feet. Funds
gave out before the drift could be well
started, and the project came to a
standstill.
1t probably would never have been
revived but for the discovery that the
little meteorites scattered all along
Canyon Diablo had considerable
platinum content.
Fred Volz had little trading post
at the canyon and he and his boys
turned an extra penny by gathering
these aerolites and selling them to
tourists. The story goes-and there
is every reason to believe it-that a
couple of Hebrew peddlers bought a
handful of the meteorites as curiosi-
ties and that they came back a few
weeks later and cleaned out the stock
that Volz had on hand. They also
told him that they would buy all he
could find, and Fred thought he had
developed miniature gold mine, un-
til it was discovered that the "stones"
he was selling for five or ten cents
apiece were worth dollar or more
each for their platinum content.
This encouraged further exploration
and new company was formed few
years ago to diamond drill for the
meteor
Progress was infinitely slow on ac-
count of the shattered and upheaved
condition of the ground, but this con-
dition was hailed as a positive proof
that the meteor theory was correct.
The depth reached by the drill
shows that the most feasible way to
reach the deposit-be it meteor or
something else-is to run a tunnel
from the opposite side of the hill
and this is the plan that is to be
adopted.-Winslow Mail.

 Arrangements for an address at Milwaukee, September 15, by the republican vice. presidential candl- date were made at a conference yes- terday at republican national com mittee headquarters and MT.

 The itinerary of Mr. Dawes be- yond the Milwaukee address was left open at the conference pending the return to Chicago late this week of William NJ. Butler, republican na- tional chairman. The September 5 engagement, however, probably will be followed by speaking trips into Pennsylvania and New York. Another trip which probably will be made by MT. Dawes during the month will take him into Minnesota another state generally considered by political leaders of all parties at having leaning toward the indepen' dent candidacy of Senators La Fol 1 lette and Wheeler. Pending before the national committee also is a re- quest for a speaking tour by MT Dawes into the border states of Ken | lucky and Tennessee.

win the world title an four straight

Pittsburgh are much better off for
pitchers and the series might go
