Dalziel's agency on September 6 Sent the following extraordinary story, which it says has aroused much scientific interest in New York. An aerolite has fallen in Idaho, and although composed as usual of meteoric iron, it is said to contain so large a proportion of pure gold as to constitute a very important contribution to knowledge of the geology of ultra-terrestrial bodies as well as raise some new problems in geological chemistry. The aerolite fell on the night of August 20 [1892] at the upper end of the Bruneau Valley in Owyhee county, which forms the extreme south-western portion of the state. So far as is known there were only two observers of its fall The first is a ranchman named Jack Ronald. He describes the aerolite as having fallen from the south westerly direction obliquely towards the earth.
