[meteorite-list] News Release Arizona
NEWS RELEASE ARIZONA UNKNOWN TO GENERAL PUBLIC. I sent this out to 5 Arizona Newspapers. Maybe someone in the community would like to take advantage of this before the general public does.Will the papers print? I can't say but NEWS RELEASE Dear Editor, Meteorites are worth anywhere from % cents a gram to thousands of dollars per gram. Enclosed is information that will make a great story and lead to the possible recovery of a lost meteorite. Worth thousands upon thousands of dollars. From Find A Falling Star Harvey Nininger page 127 There were so many tantalizing reports, and one of the most intriguing and convincing was a tale told to me in Prescott Arizona about 1940. I had gone into a bar on one of my customary tours of community hangouts seeking likely individuals with likely stories. I laid a nickel-iron meteorite on the bar beside a man who was drinking a bottle of beer. He looked it over carefully. Are they worth anything? I told him they were. He stood, looking past me for a moment, as if gathering details out of his memory. then he pointed to the cigarer vending machine. I found one as big as that machine one time, but it's been fifteen years ago. He stroked the little specimen before him on the counter. It was iron just like that, and had dents in it just like that, and when I hit it with my hammer it sounded just like an anvil. I know it was the very same thing. He had been a surveyor at the time and was running a line for the government. He told me what line it was. They came to a ravine they couldn't cross and he had gone south about a quarter mile to where it could be negotiated-and there in the ditch was this great hunk of iron. Neither he nor I had the time or money to make a ten day trip to the spot at the time, and I never was able to contact him again. Somehow I lost the notes I scribbled down, including the man's name. I had fully intended to follow up this lead, having him guide me to the spot. The territory in which he was working is seldom visited by anyone except deer hunters, and it may be a hundred years before another man see that great iron-if it really exists. Of all the hundred of reports I investigated in my years of meteorite hunting, more than a hundred yielded meteorites, and the other hundreds were dud. Few of the productive tales were more convincing than this man's reports. It is my believe he had found Arizona's finest meteorite. CONCLUSIONS The line was a Government line not a state line. the surveyor was working for the Government. The line must be very long. Needed 1o days 1 day driving 2 days walking line 6 days pulling out meteorite and 1 day going home. Nininger did not recall he would have to deal with an Indian council. Public hunting was allowed in the area. Do the Indians allow the general public to hunt their land? Go to www.arizonaroads.com/maps/ and look at the 1927 Arizona highway map. The only Government lines arew Indian reservations and the Grand canyon. The surveyor said 16 years ago 1940 minus 15 equals 1925 FOCUS should be on the North line of the Grand Canyon running East and West during the year of 1925 and not the modern day lines Best of success to all Rick __ __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: [meteorite-list] NEWS RELEASE
Hello Rick, Am I correct that you're looking for a 300 lb. piece of the Springwater pallasite? Recovering it out of the lost well might be the easy part. How do you get it out of Canada? Just curious, Frank - Original Message - From: Rick Nowak [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 23, 2002 10:53 PM Subject: [meteorite-list] NEWS RELEASE NEWS RELEASE SENT OUT TO MAJOR CANADIAN NEWSPAPERS UNKNOWN TO GENERAL PUBLIC IMS International Meteorite Society Chippewa Lake Ohio- Famous meteorite hunter Harvey Nininger during the summer of 1931 wrote a meteorite news story for the Canadian Saskatoon Star. He stated farmers could have easily hauled meteorites to their rock piles. He explained how to recognize meteorites, stressed the importance of recovery, and how he was offering a cash reward. Later a farmer by the name of Ward contacted Mr. Nininger and sent him about 200 pounds of meteorites in return receiving a check. In the 1931 correspondence with Mr. Ward he told Mr. Nininger of the big one that got away. Before he learned the true value of the dark rocks he had thrown away the largest one he ever found. We were filling up a well about seventy or eighty feet deep he related. I was hauling rocks to fill it up. And this particular rock was so heavy we used a team to pull it up onto the stone-boat, and then when I got to the well it was all I could do to dump it. I tore my hands rolling it into the well. Later Nininger used a magnetometer in 1950 to find the old well and recover the meteorite. He was meant by failure due to the technology at the time and granite with magnetite. I was alerted to this meteorite after reading Find A falling Star by Harvey Nininger. Later IMS contacted the village of Springwater and had them do a tax search for a Mr. Ward. The current property owners where located and the amount of $100,000 was offered upon recovery which is pending further cash offers are in the works. IMS contacted Martin Beech at Campion College University of Regina (306) 359-1216. To be a part of the recovery of this Springwater Meteorite.
