"A LII the important stars in Hollywood

The results of these tests. naturally

One interesting bit of news has come

amiled to date the highest grade for
excellence has been won by Mary Pick

When Mary Fickford had her curls

HUGE GEYSER

BIZ Science SeTCtce
YELLOWSTONE PARK, Wyo.,
Aug. ga new geyser of great
magnitude, whose volume of water
discharge is greater than any other
known in Yellowstone National
Park since Excelsior geyser stopped
playing in 1888, has broken out in
the Fairy Creek section of the lower
geyser basin here.
Although the existence Of this
geyser has been known for several
days, until today no data has been
given out pending the investigation
of DR.. Arthur L. Day, director of
the geophysical laboratory of the
Carnegie Institution of Washington,
and DR.. Eugene T. Allen, who has
been filed representative of the
geophysical department of the Car
negie Institution here for the last

This huge geySer has a crater
of roughly circular form, with
diameters of 100 and 100 feet. 1t
erupts twice in twenty-four hours,
and each eruption last three hours
or longer. The geyser continues
to squirt at intervals Of from

OPEN MINE TO

FROM METEOR
Eastern Capitalists Back
Project to Extract Metal
Fortune.

By United Press
WINSLOW, Ariz., aug. 8.-Mining
operations are under way to ex-
plore and determine the actual con-
tent on the giant Barringer meteor
of northern Arizona, greatest known
meteor On earth and hitherto en-
shrouded in mystery and Indian
fable.
The Barringer meteor, twenty two
miles from Winslow, created a crater
a mile across and approximately
1000 feet deep when it crashed to
earth thousands of years ago. 1t
displaced over 300,000,000 tons of
rock in the impact.
Finds Meteor
The crater thus created has been
the center of scientific and geo.
logical interest for fifty years, and
for the past twenty-five years va
rious efforts have been made to
reach the great shooting star itself
and determine its content.
The work has beeen carried on
principally by D. M. Barringer, Phil
adelphia geologist, for whom the
meteor was named.
Barringer finally located the main
body 1876 feet from the south rim
Of the crater. Tests showed it to be
approximately 400 feet in diameter,
and to contain 80 per cent meteoric
iron, per cent nickel, 2 ounces of
platinum and i ounce of iridium
per ton.
Metal Worth $50 Tone
The main body is estimated to
weigh 100000 tons, and the metal
content to be worth approximately
$50 per ton.
Age-old rumors that diamonds ex-
listed in the ore were disproved by
the tests, which showed only micro
scopic diamond points of no COM
mercial value.
Actual mining operations just
started are under the direction of
Barringer and Quincy A. Shaw of
Boston, of the Calumet & Hecla
Mining company. The enterprise is
being conducted privately.
Contracts for erecting power plant
and hoist machinery and sinking a
accompaniment shaft have been
let, and initial construction work
is under way.
Expended Own Fortune
Thousands of dollars have been
spent in past years in futile efforts
to locate the great star and it's esti-
mated wealth OF $500,o00,0o0 of
metals.
The United States Mining, Smelt-
ing and Refining Company, one of
the largest corporations of its kind
in the United States, gave up the
. attempt after spending over 100000.
Barringer, however, has stayed
with his problem for over twenty
five years, and after expanding his
personal fortune finally located the
great ore body with sufficient ex-
actitude to bring to his aid the
funds and engineering assistance of
