DEEP SHAFT HAS KEEN SUNK
AND MINERS BELIEVE HAVE
STRUCK VISITOR
WINSLOW, Ariz., Sept.. 19, (7P)—
One of the great scientific mys
teries of modern times—whether a
crater nearly a mile wide at Coon
Butte, Ariz., was made by a volcano
or by a metrcite hitting the earth—
is reported to be on the verge of
solution.
• Miners employed by D. M. Bar
ringer of Philadelphia claim to
hove located 1 400 feet under
ground, a mars of iron, believed to
bf> the meteor.
They are down 1.600 feet in a
shaft. A crosscut will allow min
ers to come up underneath this
j.-on so it may be mined. Borings
with diamond drills have led to
predictions that the buried body is
SO percent iron and 7 percent nickel
with slight traces of platinum and
iridium.
The present shaft is the culmina
tion of plans begun a quarter of a
century ago by Barringer. He is
credited with being the first man
to cite scientific evidence that the
vrater is of meteoric origin. It is
4.000 feet from rim to rim. its walls
120 to 150 feet above and its bot
tom 600 feet below the surrounding
plateau.
Barringer’s workmen say that
previous failures to find the meteor
are explained by the evidence of
their drills that the main body lies
not directly beneath the crater, but
about 1.600 feet south of it.
Astronomers have estimated that
the meteorite weighed 10.000,000
tons and was 500 feet in diameter.
The question of whether a volca
no made the crater was raised not
only but failure to find a buried
meteor, but by appearances that
rocks had been ejected by some
force closely ressembling volcanic
power. Scattered about the cratei
have been found numeious small
iron meteorites.
One theory has been that < a
flight of small meteorites accom
panied the giant. Another is that
the plunge of the giant generated
such heat and instant steam in
deep buried earth moisture that
the hole spouted temporarily like a
volcano.

ice cream making plant.
