' MYRTLE POINT, July 20. Not?d geologists who have sought the long-missing Port Or ford meteor for years probably felt a little upset today when Robert Harrison, pioneer miner, Announced he had known its lo cation since 1882. Harrison first saw the great f-ock he believes to be the meteor when, as a boy of 14, he accom panied his father into the Salmon Jnountain range. They met Dr. C. D. Elgin who located a nickel claim in a gulch drained by Pov erty creek. .'. After Dr. Elgin's death, Harri son found the claim again in J 900 largely because he recalled he presence of a hard, heavy tone, rich in nickel ore. Ho sent A specimen to Dr. J. F. Dillnr, federal geologist, who urged him Jo send the whole rock, undoubt edly a meteor, to the Smithsonian Jnuseum. The miner, who estimated the )-ock was buried deeply in the ground ana weignea id or 4u 4ons, Bald he was offered no fi nancial assistance and promptly orgot the proposal. His interest in the rock was revived by pub Jiclty about the meteor last win ter. Harrison said the rock was fiboul one and a quarter miles from the U. S. Chromium, Inc., Camp. It is about 30 or 40 miles 'southeast of Port Orford and about 12 miles from Powers and live miles from the forest service road at China Flats. The rock apparently sliced Jhrough Bald Knob and descend ed Into the gulch where the years have covered It with undergrowth. Springfield PURCHASE COMPLETE SPRINGFIELD, July 21.
