the COLORADO STONE MAN.
An Astonishing Discovery-Is 1t s.Find'
or a tsPlaNt?s

All tA9uOuIbhlUK D18COvcIy-IH u a "f1NU'f

From the New York Graphic.
Denver, Colorado Springs, and Pueblo
have recently been much excited over the
discovery Of . "stone man" by w. A.
Conant, of Colorado Springs. MI. Conant
has been for eome months engaged in search
ing for geological specimens, in the shape
of petrifactions, in the hills about twenty
five miles southwest of Pueblo.
A little more than a week ago, while sit
ting on a stone eating his lunch, his atten-
ton was attracted by what seemed to be
some little stone points sticking out Of the
ground. Upon removing the earth = little
more, he discovered what he at once decided
was a petrified human foot. Of course he
continued his digging, and finally unearthed
. human figure in stone, Z feet 5 inches in
length, and almost entirely perfect in every
particular. In the excitement of the dis
covery he broke the head and a portion of
the shoulders off while removing Il, but the
fracture being a clean one, without chips or
fragments, the broken portion was easily
replaced. and the figure is as complete now
as when found.
Thisnew wonder weighs about 600 pounds,
is Z feet 5 inches long; the circumference Of
head is % inches, the measurement from
ear to ear in front IA, base of head to FORE
head II inches, nose 81 inches long, circum-
ference Of neck Is! inches, breadth of
shoulders, front, 2S5 inches, from shoulder
to tip Of fingers 4s inches, leg As inches,
foot Is inches long and 5 inches wide. The
head is turned slightly to the left; the right
arm is thrown across the breast, with the
hand lying near the left shoulder. The
right leg is somewhat drawn up. The
right foot is perfect, the toes of the left are
partially gone. The left arm is extended
down the side, the hand lying on the leg.
The forehead is very low, at once suggesting
the ape the back part Of the head is i'm
mensly developed. The nose is almoet per.
feet, a small portion of one side only being
gone. The notril is distended and the lips
protrude. The chin is large, but does not
protrude. The cheek-bones are
high and Indian like. The ears are perfect
and flat to the head. The eyes are full.
The neck Is small in proportion to the size
of the head and body. The arms, and
particularly the hands, are long, the latter
being 1211 inches, while the longest finger
Is z inches. The feet are broad. spreading
toes are of remarkable length; the great
toe 10 . very plain thumb. But the strang.
est thing Of all is q tail. or stump Of q tail,
8 inches long and ~ inches in diameter.
The whole figure seems to be made of .
sort Of light brown sandstone. Upon the
application of sulphuric acid e~ffervescence
took place, while the result was q sort of
dark mud containing small grains of sand.

USEFUL HINTS FOR MEASURING LAND.

Almost every farmer has some way OF
measuring land, and the most common Is to
step off five PAGES for q rod, and call sixty
by sixty i've PAGES an acre. For ordinary
purposes this mode will answer. but vhen
the exact measurement of q land is desired.
il cannot be depended upon as being accu-
rate.
A light pole, just sixteen and . half feet
long. is q cheap and convenient measure.
but q four-rod tape line is much better.
An exact acre can be found by the follow
ing table of distances:
A plot of ground 5 yards wide by 96S
yards long contains l acre.
A plot Of ground 10 yards wide by 4s4
yards long contains I acre.
A plot 20 yards vide by 242 yards long
contains l acre.
A plot Of ground so yards wide by 6Ol1
yards long contains / acre.
A plot Of ground 70 yards wide by 50 1 Z
yards long contains l acre.
A plot Of ground 22O feet long BY 1893 feet
wide contains l acre.
A plot Of ground 440 feet long by 90 feet
wide contains l acre.
A plot of ground 10 feet wide by 369
feet wide contains l acre.
A plot IF ground $40 feet long ny 1917
feet wide contains l acre
One acre contains l60 square rods; 4,s40
square yards; 1850 square feet.
One rod contains 1925 square yards
272.25 square feet.
O,e square yard contains 9 square feet.
To measure corn in the crib multiply the
length, breadth and height together In feet.
to obtain the cubic feet; multiply this prod
uct BY four and strike of the right figure,
and the result will be shelled bushels,
nearly.

Gen. Nelson A. Miles has achieved a
victory over the hostile Indians of the
northwest, which fully redeems the blur.
ders committed by Gen. Howard and places
the name of Miles at the head Of the list of
successful Indian fighters. Gen. Crook
subdued the Indians of Arizona after a long
campaign and a series of battles, but Gen.
Miles. at q single blow, has taken in the en-
tire band Of Nez Perces. who have been
devastating portions of Oregon, Idaho and
Montana for months past, and leaving blood
and ruin in their path. All this time Gen
Howard has been upon their track, and has
exhausted the patience Of the most patient
BY his apparent inability to bring matters
to a crisis. On the 30th of September Gen.
Miles struck Joseph's trail at Bear Paw
mountains. near Snake creek, and an hour
afterwards succeeded in surprising their
camp, killing seventeen and wounding forty
Indians. He then invested the entire In
dian force, which was posted and fortified
in a deep gulch, and besieged them until
they surrendered Internationally. This Is
one of the rare exploits of Indian warfare,
and Gen. Miles and his brave men are enti.
tied to the fullest, credit for performing the
almost impossible military feat Of capturing
the entire force opposed to him. The In
disn war in the northwest ends with this
surrender. Chief Joseph is in the hands of
his captors, and Sitting Bull. with whom he
was en~deavoring to form a junction. is be-
yond the Canada border waiting for some.
thing to turn up that will relieve him from
the necessity of any more fighting.

Gen. Sheridan's report of his trip through
the Tongue river, Wind river, Owl creek,
Big Horn and Yellowstone regions has been
published. 1t contains 4 large amount of
interesting and valuable information. The
accent Of. the Big Horn range was from the
west and the party struck the eastern base
near the Tongue river canon. The report
says:
The ascent was not difficult, as the sum-
init of the general range il, say, $1,000 feet
elevation, and from that down to about 5000
feet, Is . succession Of beautiful parks Of
grass, surrounded BY pine timber, and dotted
with lakes. One park on the summit
through which we passed in crossing was
about twenty miles long, opening out to
three or four miles in width at places The
views from these mountaina are exceedingly
9rand-one especially from near Castle
Coolbaugh, looking down the canon of Shell
creek to the canon of the Big Horn, and
then across the Big Horn valley to the fine
mountain ranges around the National park
to the north, and the Wind river ranges on
the west and northwest, cannot probably be
exceeded on the globe. The bunch-gama,
and other nutritious grasses, supplemented
by innumerable wild flowers, added much
to the wonderful beauty of this region.
The country about the Little Horn and
Big Horn is thus described BY Gen. Sheri-
dan:
The country lying east of the Big Horn
range from the heights near the canon of
Tongue river il very fine. Looking to the
SOUTH along the .baseaof the mountains, as
far a. the old post Of Fort Phil Kearney,
then east, across to the Wolf or Rosebud
mountains, then north to the Big Horn val
ley, gives . scenery of undulating valleys
watered by mountain streams fringed with
timber; the soil being excellent, hillsides
and valleys covered With bunch, buffalo,
CANA, blue. and other grasses, intermixed
with Wild flowers.
