known worlds, and was finally trap
ped by the earth's attraction. Geolo-
gists did not consider this by any
means a vain hope. Prof. H. l.. Fair
child wrote in 1907
"'All the phenomena thus far
found in the long and careful eXplora-
ton Of the crater, the distribution Of
the wreckage, both inside and OUT
side, and the composition and struc.
ture Of the materials, seem to be full
iy and satisfactorily explained on the
theory Of impact by a celestial bolide
OF high velocity, and do not fit any
other theory
"And Prof. George P Merrill, in q
most recent paper on the subject
(1920), cones to the same conclusion.
It is true that limestone blocks have
evidently been hurled from the
crater and that the sandstone which
once partly filled it has been trans
formed in some way to a silica pow
der, and scattered thus around the Vi
entity; but this has been regarded as
due to the impact and the reaction;
and bore holes seem to demonstrate
that these disturbances do not persist
in depth, thus disproving the idea OF
outbreak from below.
"Be that as it may, the repeated at
tempts have not located any buried
naeteorite; and it is improbable that
further efforts will be made The
first attempts We're made by The
Standard Iron Co., guided largely by

RED SNOW NOT CAUSED
BY 'HOOTCH" THEY SAY

"Red snow" which fell upon the
twin cities of Minneapolis and St.
Paul may have been nothing more
than small plant which flourishes
on the moist cold surface and which
is well known to Arctic explorers,
says the American Nature association.
Digging into research records the
association disclosed that the plant,
known as the protococcus nivalis, be-
longs to the lowest and simplest
group Of the plant world. 1t has no
distinction of leaf and stem, and con-
sists Of single cell less than one
hundredth Of an inch in diameter. To
this single cell is added the red col
oring matter.
When the cell is placed in water, or
in the presence of moisture, it grows
by cell division, each cell dividing into
two, four, eight, sixteen parts, and so
on, and only a few hours are required
for it to spread over a wide eXpanse,
Areas of "red snow have been
reported by northern explorers since
1850, the association says.

MINING FOR THE
SHOOTING STARS

The romance Of mining, says an
editorial writer in The Engineering
Work, is shown in certain instances
where an unusual type of treasure is
sought. Coal, iron, copper, lead, tin,
and the like are what we think of
when we speak of mining; but on the
fringe of these commoner things come
the gold, the platinum, the diamonds,
ruby, and emeralds, all of which have
signified beauty, wealth, and glamour
oil, which would have seemed extra
ordinary hundred years ago, is now
a commonplace; but mining for steam,
which was mentioned editorially in a
recent issue, is unusual. He goes on:
"Son1e mines or mining operations
are unique. Such are the mining ven
lures which intelligent and substan-
tial investors have conducted inter-
mittently for decades at Coon Butte
or Meteor Crater, in Arizona. The
object of these operations has been to
locate and n1ine an immense shooting
star, or meteor, which, it has been be-
lieved, embedded itself in the earth at
no distant date.
MeIeoT GfdteT Is SIedt cIcuidi
pit, 600 feet deep and 1000 feet in
diameter, Of evident craterlike origin,
in horizontal standstones and lime
stones Of central Arizona. The walls
are precipitous, and the normally
horizontal strata of the walls are bent
up SO that they dip away from the
hollow. Two theories were advanced
by geologists: One that the pit was
formed by the impact of a gigantic
meteor, and the other that it was due
to an explosion Of volcanic gas. The
weight of geologic opinion has leaned
toward the former explanation; and
a great deal of exploration, by pits
and drill holes, has been done, with
the hope Of being able to mine the
iron which wandered hither from I'M

NEWS MEN SAY THERE'LL
BE LESS FREE PUBLICITY

Oliver Jaynes, general manager of
the Tucson Citizen, was elected presi-
dent Of the Arizona Daily Newspa-
per association at the annual meeting
of the organization, held at Bisbee
Sunday. Other officers elected in
cluded Folsom Moore, of the Bisbee
Review as vice-president and Ralph
Ellinwood of the Arizona Daily Star
as secretary.
Following the election, a business
session was held, at which the asso-
citation went on record as opposed to
the publication of the names of minors
in accounts of juvenile delinquency,
except when the nature of the news
makes their use imperative.
The daily newspapers of Arizona
decided at their annual meeting held
to limit the amount of space used for
publicity.
1t was the sense of the publishers
meeting that the press of Arizona has
long suffered through the granting
of free space to publicity schemes
and hereafter publicity seekers must
pay the regular advertising rates.
Advertising agencies operating
within the state must comply with the
rules and regulations Of the Asso-
ciated Advertising Agencies Of Ameri-
ca before being accepted as regular
advertising agencies in Arizona, the
publishers decided.
A committee Of three will be named
to pass upon all advertising agencies
and investigate their financial re-
sources as we'll as other clients.

WILL DRAFT ROAD BILL
FINANCE STATE ROADS

At the good roads association meet
ing held at Yuma recently, a commit
tee was appointed to draft state fl
nancing bill to be submitted for APP
proval at the good roads meeting to
be held in Flagstaff on June 20 and
The committee Of which Mr. West
Is a member includes State Highway
Engineer w. G. Lefebvre, Chief Engi-
.neer w. w. Lane, Sam G. Bailey, sec
retary of the chamber of commerce
Of Chandler, and Major Midgley of
Prescott.
Chief Engineer w. w. Lane sug-
gested revision of the state motor
vehicle tax law for more equitable
taxation, and to abolish the county rs
per cent fund. He would also have
the state highway department absorb
the states gas tax receipts, Of which
one-half goes to the federal govern
ment, and include the 10-cent levy.
All Of these funds, according to
Mr.. Lane, would go into the state
highway department fund and bond
ed for the annual highway depart
ment's road construction budget with
out increasing the state tax levy.
Mr.. Lane also proposed the repeal
of the gas exemption law on tractors
and engines, to effect a saving of APP
proximately 5 per cent which it is
estimated is being lost annually by
those who may take advantage of this
law by using gasoline for purposes
other than designated in the gas eX-
emption law.
1t is the purpose of the committee,
says Mr.. West, to draft bill salts
factory to all counties, with assurance
that all of the counties in the state
viii receive an equitable amount Of
road attention in line with their avail
able funds. If the bill is approved at
the Flagstaff road meeting in June,
it will be submitted to vote by the
people Of the state this fall.
1t is presumed that d bill with a
proviso designating a certain percent
age of funds to be spent in each Of
the counties in the state each year,
and to pave as much Of the portion of
the per cent system as necessary,
viii meet with approval generally.
In any event, it is the desire of the
good roads association to make some
early move that will bring more funds
and elimiAate red tape for more and
better road building in every county
in the state.
