lily in a Colorado Bone
Yard"

Among the innumerable natural curiosities
of Colorado none possesses a deeper interest
than what the people of Canon City are
given to calling "the bone yar'"
The scenery presents the finest geological
exposures l have ever seen, the little stream
through whose canon you approach the now
renowned field having in many places the
formations cut clearly down 5000 feet,
showing all the qualifications. 1t would be
an ideal spot to start q school of geology
The bone yard proper is but seven or eight
miles out from the town, but the interest
continues for the geological student for six
or seven miles beyond.
"There it is" said Capt. Felch, who has
charge of the operations of quarrying out
the mastodons. He was pointing to dizzy
ledge of sandstone away up the perpendicu
lar side of the canyon, where a stretch of
white sail cloth protected the redeemed
treasures from the dsintegrating action of
the weather.
"And is this quarryy 0 own property, and
how did you discover ,se bones in the
rocks!'
"As to your first question, no; the quarry
is not mine, except by priority of occupation;
it's government land, but it ad joins my ranch
