Sulphur in Meteorite
          That Fell in Arizona

     The nether regions, traditional source of "fire and brimstone," are not 
along in their quota of sulphur.  A meteorite, which descended from the sky 
to a group of Indian ruins about five miles from Winona, Ariz., and which 
was discovered by a Flagstaff filling station operator, has been found to 
contain more than 6 per cent of sulphur.  This has been determined after 
analysis by two geologists.
     The meteorite was egg-shaped, but badly decomposed as a result of the 
years that have elapsed since it fell.  It was buried ten inches below the 
ground.  It is of the stony type, but contained small amounts of iron.  The 
sulphur was present in the form of iron sulphide. - Kansas City Star's

website), is available upon e-mail request.

The NPA in the subject line, stands for Newspaper Article. The old list 
server allowed us a search feature the current does not, so I guess this is 
more for quick reference and shortening the subject line now.
