Boy Finds ZOO Pound
Piece of Great Meteor

D Grant Anderson. 10-year-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs Hugh Ander-
son, of Meteor mine, last week dis
covered another large chunk of
meteoric iron, about two miles
south of the Meteor mountain. The
piece is estimated to weigh about
200 pounds
This is the first large piece to
be found for some time. and will
probably result in d. Grant having
a nice little Christmas fund this
year, if he can connect with one of
the numerous purchasers who de-
sire specimens of the rare metal
The museum of Catalina Island
is said to have offered to buy
large piece of meteor, likewise the
museum of the State University of
Michigan A number of owners of
private collections are also said to
have at different times made offers
to buy the few remaining large
specimens.
A 400pound piece was sold dur
ing the last week by Lutte Hart to
Bert Funk, who plans cutting into
sizes suitable for souvenirs.
From soc to 81 pound is said
to be the market price for large
pieces, and from 81 to So pound
for pieces weighing under five
pounds.
