It knocked things around quite loosely, It did but litle damage at this place. We are short on rats, there being none in this earthquake country. We are short ou potato bugs, there being none here on account of their not yet having made the circuit of the globe. But the best thing we are short on are bed bugs. I am told there is not one in all southern Califor nia. It is certainly delightful sleeping without those kind of insects banging around trying to scrape acquaintance, Well, that is a few thing we are short on We have some few people here with a national reputation.

From this great hole there is no cauvon or opening leading off Some think, as the tradition says, that this mighty hole was made by an immense meteor striking here and exploding. The evidence on the ground bears out that theory, as the hole is full of meteoric stones of celestial origin Arizona furuishes almost every known mineral substance; of course I was not surprised to hear a Phoenix prospector tell about locating a '‘soap geyser.” He has located three of them, one about 15% feet in diameter, filled with a greyish substance like putty.
