LIKE A FAIRY TALE.
Idaho Found To he - Seritabie Wonder
land.

Special Dispatch 10 the standard.
BOISE. Idaho. Oct. ti.-F. B. Schcrmcr-
horn. mncraloglst and gcologist and as
sisiant worlds fair commissioners. has
just returned to this city from an cN-
tended trip in Lemhi aud Custer counties.
He spent four months in looking up mat
tiers Of curiosity aud returned with moro
than 800 specimens. Near Gibbonsville he
discovered the bones of some antcde-
luvian men. lie saved enough bones to
make class iiication. His report of the
discovery and of n fossil forest near the
center of Custer county adds greatly To
ldaho's natural wonders. This forest
covers an area of three square miles.
and the condition of the ground
shows that at one time an euor-
nous How of clay which worked
IN from the northwest has buried the tree
trunks to a great depth. This clay has
turned To stone and no one can ascertain
its true depth without going to great ex-
pcnsc. All Of the trees i'm this forest have
their tops broken oil and stand from 10 to
10 feet above ground, averaging about -
to the acre.
Mr.. Schcrmerhorn took the exact
measurement of some of the trees and
found them to average u feet in diam
eter mt the top and Ii feet in diameter nt
the surface of the ground. How far the
trunks reached through the clay stone To
the soil, he had no means Of ascertaining.
A branch winch had become detached
from the tree and was lying about Ii feet
from il, was three feet in diameter. From
the size Of the trees and their branches,
Mr. Schcrmerhorn found them to be "a
species of rcdwo ood. such rs is found i'm
Southern California. aud attributes their
fossilization to the clay which. bearing n
large part of mineral and presumably
coming from some volcano, has turned
the trees into monuments OF stone, io
stand for all time as wonders of God :
creation, On the northeast side of this
fossil forest lies the Custer county coal
fields. Is miles long by ~ wide, as far as
discovered. and covering an area of about
5no square miles. The coal there ia n first
quality. and is used by settlers. miners
and others for domestic purposes. and as
a biacksmith's coal is without an equal.
Although these coal measures are COM
parativcly undiscovered. enough work has
been done To show that not far distant lies
body of coal second to- none in the West.
Another discovery Of no small moment
and one which upon development may
prove n source Of great wealth is that OF
large deposits of TIN somewhere in this
country. MIR. Schermerhorn discovered
some fine specimens of float aud stream
tin. and is going into iha, section To pros
pect further for that metal. Among the
specimens secured from Lemhi and Gus
ter counties is gold. silver. lead, copper
iron, tin, zinc and platinum.
Mr.. Schermerhorn was ont on this trr
four months, during which time he tray
clcd moro than i,o0J miles. and secured a
display Of minerals and curios which il
| itself is n wonder. He Is now on
gagged on the mineral exhibit from Al,ura.
