holds in it cells the glassy olivine
crystals ol greenish yellow.
I have had considerable corre'
gpondence with R. M. Harrison of
Myrtle Point the past lew months.
Cue to a fractured vertebra Mr.
Harrison has not been able until
recently to go to his so-called
nickel mine." His letters and de
scriptions of "the rock" consist
ently give the impression that he
3 thoroughly reliable and knows
something about the topic he Is
discussing," Mr. Pruett concluded.
' 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.
