stlt- Fo- The RECORD.
BONE DusT MADE OF HUMAN BONES
While at William Hills bone min ION the Ne
shame, near Copper Hill), this morning, was
shown the bones of a foot of human being
that the hands picked ont of the heap OF bones
that they were grinding yesterday. All the
bones of this foot are in sta naturase held
together by the liguments.
The toes Of the foot are yet covered with
integument to which the nails are yet attach
ed. The other parts Of the foot are denuded
ofthe skin, muscles and adapcse tissue. Some
of the tendons of the fexer muscles Of the
toes are dangling from their attachments.
The foot seems to have been q part of a
female not yet fully grown--say about seven
teen or eighteen years of age. From the FAT.
ness of the arch Of The foot, aud the appear
ance of the nails and skin. upon the toes,
infer the individual Of whom this member
formed part was negress. The foot be-
longs to the right leg. an rs
Perhaps the bones of this foot would make
jost as good bone dust as the bones of a horses
foot would but isseems rather unnatural to
find the bones of q human being thrown into
a heap ofthe oseous fragments of cows, horses,
hogs, sheep, mules aud the like, 10 be ground
mp for fertilizer.
As they are overhaulng the heap of bones,
the ha uds are looking for other bones of the
same or a similar skeleton. As yet, none
such have been found.
All the, bones in the heap have been pur-
chased from bone pickess that have brought
their g pickings I" directly 70 the mill. It Is
not possible to tell with whose load this foot
came. But it is affirmed that it was found
in that part Of the heap made by loads which
were said to be brought from the Southland
mountain. g. w. LARSON.
