Recently some well-diggers on the San
Miguel tract, owned by Adolph Sutro, and
situated just south of Golden Gate Park,
found at depth of 80 feet, embedded in
the solid clay, several pieces of well-pre-
served cedar, and some large bones that re-
sembled those of the mastodon. The fos-
sils were preserved as curiosities. Thurs
day last, while sinking another well there,
they at a depth of % feet found piece of
what was evidently a gigantic thigh bone
of a giant mammoth. This was also in
the clay, and, what is an odd feature, and
indicates that they may have lain there for
centuries, is the fact that the clean sand, to
the depth of many feet, and other more
solid debris, lies above. The bones were
found on the high mountain sometimes
called Sweeneys Point, which is 500 feet
above the level of the sea.
