Aug It Smith of Hagerstown Md and a party of mining men who have just returned from the Ripsey mines report the fall of an immense meteor which struck the desert about two miles north of Hall's ranch and about the same distance south of the Ripsey mines It fell on Sunday evening the 8th inst about 9 o'clock The mining party which was camped at Hall's say that the report and the concussion was terrific Cupboards were upset dishes thrown on the floor and the house trembled as a leaf The noise of the explosion was like that of many cannon being fired off The air for miles around was filled with sulphurous gas and the meteor came down red hot and steaming being consumed by the friction It covers about two acres of ground and is undoubtedly imbedded hundreds of feet in the earth and now forms a red hot steaming mount in the desert A herder's hut and corral was in its path The herder his wife and three children Mexican people together with about 500 head of sheep wont down with the

to have struck the Mongolian mountain Mr Middleton was a resident of Riverside Arizona at the time and was an eye witness of that remarkable meteor as was also your correspondent This being the second great meteor that bus fallen in Arizona within two years there is naturally some speculation as to what attractive influences exist in that particular neighborhood to bring down two such enormous meteors It is a very wild section of country and Is full of vast ledges of copper gold silver and iron which may in a measure somewhat account for it all Be that as it may the fact remains the same
