National Museum Wants
 Globe Circling Airplane

The fate of the most famous air plane in the history of aviation is be- fore the United States war depart ment and museum officials are eager ly and hopefully awaiting decision. The plane is the Chicago, flagship of the 26,000 mile round the world flight of 1924. It represents one of the highest peaks of efficiency reached in aircraft construction for it com bined long distance endurance with the ability to withstand the heat or Southern India and the bitter cold of the Arctic.
 The Chicago is now stored away in the oblivion of hangar at Dayton, O., and the national museum wrote to the war department early last au- tumn requesting that it be transfer red to the museum at Washington, where it would be a part of the na- tional collection of historic planes. A number of other museums have also asked for the plane. So far the war department has only announced that it favors exhibition of the Chicago in a prominent and fitting place.
 The national museum believes that it has a strong claim to the Chicago because by law the museum is the depository of scientific and technical apparatus no longer useful to the gov ernment The museum now has one of the largest collections of historic aircraft aircraft in existence.
 "A national collection has been in progress for some time and we now have thirty planes almost all of which are original" says Paul E. Garber, assistant curator in charge of aero nautics at the national museum Among the historic planes on eXhi bition are the Alaskan flag plane of the squadron which in 1920 flew from New York to Nome and back, making the nine thousand miles flight in IF hours flight time. One part of the trip which takes thirty days by dog team was made in an hour and half
 Another important plane in the government collection is the T-2, re modelled by Anthony Fokker in Hol land for long distance flight. When tested it broke all previous records for remaining in the air, and cross ed the continent without stopping il 1923"
 MT. Garber points out that the i'm portance of the early planes that made history has been fully realized only in the last few years, but such exhi

bits are now in great demand by mu- seums. The Hargrave ornithopter, a wing Tapping machine of 1898, which flew 312 feet propelled by compress ed air, is an example of these old historic planes and is now in the na- tional museum.
 The famous NC-4, the first plane to succeed in crossing the Atlantic, has been offered to the government, but it is so big that the museum has no place to exhibit it.

METEORITES FROM
METEOR MOUNTAIN

Got any meteorites sticking around
in the pantry or which you are using
as doorstep in the garage, or as
paper weight in your office? Would
you like to sell the samesor better
still, give them away? If you want
to give them away, or sell 'em cheap
The Winslow Mail would be glad to
get hold of a few specimens.
Following the publication of the
story, Mining For a Meteor" in the
Literary Digest of January 8, inquiries
have been received from several dis
tant parts of the country wanting to
know more about the history of Me-
teor mountain, and most inquiries
ask if meteorites can still be purchas-
ed or found. These are wanted, gem
orally, for additions to school and
private museums, and uses in class
room work in schools. One inquirer
from Los Angeles, sends a check to
pay for small piece.
A number of years ago the meteor
ties from the north side of Meteor
mountain were plentiful in this part
of the state. Pieces ranging from a
few ounces to hundreds of pounds
were picked up frequently, and sold
or given away to tourists and visitors,
but nowadays it is extremely hard to
find even small samples, and while
there are a few big chunks here and
there, they are too heavy to handle,
and too expensive for ready sale, and
too blamed hard to cut into small
pieces.
At the Old Trails garage there is
a chunk about twice the size of a
mans head which weighs 41S pounds.
1t belongs to Lutte Hart, prominent
sheep man of this city. G. H. Payne
rolls it out near the entrance during
the summer time, and offers it free
to the tourists if they will pick it
up and put it in their cars
Several small pieces have been cut
from this chunk, with an oxy-acety-
lene torch, the only means known of
cutting through the metal, which is
principally nickel, silver and platinum
1t is reported that the Indian trad
ers still have small quantities, but it
is hard to induce the Indians to ap-
proach the mountain to hunt for
pieces, as their legends recount that
three gods came to the earth with
the meteor and are still abiding in the
mountains crater. Part of the sacred
meal used in Indian religious cere-
monials come from the pulverized
stone of Meteor mountain, according
to r. M. Bruchman, Winslow Indian
trader, but only medicine men" are
permitted to gather it.

Board OF Supervisors
Reorganized For Term

The new board of supervisors met
last Friday afternoon at the county
seat and re-organized for the new two
year term. C. H. Payne, supervisor
of District No 2, (Winslow) was elect
ed chairman. G. E. Owens is member

prisoners at the county Jail was
awarded to the Rees Cafe of Hol-
brook.
There were three bidders on county
printing, Snowflake Herald, Holbrook
Tribune and Winslow Mail. The first
named did not bid on legal advertis-
ing, and The Mail put in no bid on
printing, other than advertising, Ow-
ing to inconvenience of transmitting
copy and proofs back and forth be-
tween Winslow and the county seat.
The Snowflake Herald successfully
bid in a part of the stationery print
went to the Tribune, who also got
the legal advertising contract on a
bid of fifteen cents per inch.

Block In City May Be
Surfaced as Experiment

Councilman Jess Holm is working
on a proposition to have one block
on Kinsley avenue between Aspinwall
and Oak surfaced with the same ma
terial that was used on the highway

line west toward Flagstaff Mr.. Holm
owns property on this block, and is
attempting to get other property own

which, if it proves satisfactory, may
be generally adopted throughout the

and the cost is estimated to be in
the neighborhood of $40O, making the
cost to each lot about SIS. Mr.. Holm
thinks all the property owners will
agree to the experiment, which he
believes will prove successful, mas

Il have been looking for something

I have surely found it. On the vaude-
vile stage they are all artists. Miss
Wayne is a show in herself. Warren
Hewitt and his sister are entertainers
in great demand. They will put on
a program that will call forth the
appreciation of our employees. 1t will
not only be farcical, but will instruct
as we'll as entertain.
"And that is just what we are aim
ing at in these concerts. We are try
ing to give a pleasant evening to pat
lent workers on big railway system,
and to make the desert resonant with

ficient in their chosen vocation.
"And people who can drive away
the clouds and bring out the clear
skies, and calm the storms of life, are
living very near all our hearts, and
we are glad to welcome them to the
Santa Fe. After a good laugh, our
digestion will be very much improved,
and the engines, the shops, and the
wires will respond more accurately
to the frightened personality of our
employees.

Two New Oil Rigs Going
Into The Holbrook Field

A request was made of the county
supervisors by two men whose iden-
tity the supervisors were unable to
learn, that a loan be made to the
strangers by the supervisors of the
county grader and tractor for the
building of two roads leading away
from the county highway, one a dis
tance of three miles, and the other
five miles.
The men stated that they wished to
build good roads to oil rigs to be
erected soon, but would not state at
this time the exact location. Inas-
much as they offered to pay all ex-
pense of road building the supervisors
granted their request. The Winslow
Mail is not informed as to whether
the roads have been started or not

FIRST NATIONAL
ISSUES ALL NEW
MONEY THIS WEEK

The First National bank of Winslow
started the new year off in fitting
fashion by paying all Santa Fe pay
checks last Tuesday with brand new
money, both metal and paper. The
new money, fifty thousand dollars
worth, had been received a few days
earlier, but was held up until the rail-
road pay day could put great guam
tity of it in circulation.
The currency is in five, ten and
twenty dollar denominations, and
bear the pictures of Hugh Mccullough
on the two larger sizes, and Benjamin
Harrison on the fives. All of them
bear the signatures of r. C. Kaufman,
president, and Geo. Hammond, vice
president, of the First National. And
the signatures are not fac-Similes,
either, but genuine signatures, put on
by hours of exceedingly tedious labor.
The bills arrived at the bank on large
sheets, four bills to the sheet, and
The Winslow Mail had the honor of
slicing them up into single bills. We
don't often get a chance to handle
such expensive paper in ream lots.
All denominations of metal money
from pennies to dollars, were also
put into circulation in Winslow at the
same time. There were no dollar bills
among the new money, for two rea-
sons, first, that western people do not
like to handle what in most of the
mining districts they call "alfalfa"
and the second that the federal gov
ernment is attempting to popularize
the silver dollar among eastern peo-
pie, by sending out to federal banks
$40,0Q0,000 in silver. Commenting on
that proposition an eastern newspap-
er syndicate says:
Leather lined pockets will be the
latest fad if the bankers have their
way.
Starting today, all banks, as re-
quested by Secretary of the Treas
ury Mellon, attempted to palm off
cartwheels, or silver dollars, on the
unsuspecting public.
"The government will attempt to
put 40,000,0O0 silver dollars in cir
culation, or one for each man in the
country. But the success of the plan
is in doubt unless tailors make men s
pockets stronger.
Zone banker, trying the expert
ment, sent a clerk to twenty stores
and all but two were reluctant to
take the silver dollars.
"Wall Street men are skeptical over
the success of the plan and only
time, they say, can give the answer. .

Santa Fe Stops Drilling
On Water Well In Yards

The Santa Fe this week stopped
the contractors on the well being
driven for water in the round house
grounds. The we'll had reached a
depth of 96S feet, but while a guam
tity of water was encountered suffi-
cient to provide a city of this size
with all it could use, the water was
too salty to ever be of use.
Chief Engineer Davenport of the
Santa Fe system was summoned and
arrived here Monday afternoon. He
will make final decision as to wheth-
er the well will be abandoned or the
salt water stratum cased off and the
we'll sunk deeper.
