He spoke of the bill introduced in the senate by Senator Walsh of Georgia, for the im- proyement of the exhibit of the resources of the souti, but questioned whether an exhibit of the resource E of one section would b4 voted for 1y congress, and thought a parman mt exhibit of the re- sources of the entire country would be provided for by congress and the south would be the greatest beneficiary.

A. Mast0d0n,s Tusks.

A prospector who came down on the
steamship City of Topeka Thursday
night from the gold fields of Alaska
brought a number of curious relics
from that far-away region. The most
interesting of the collection is a set OF
ivory tusks of an enormous size, the
remains of a mastodon. A great tooth
was also found with the tusks, which
were discovered in a deep canyon sev-
eral hundred miles back in the noun
tains from Juneau. ; The size of the
tusks in question is something phe-
nomenaL. They form almost q semi
circle, the circumference being ten
feet by actual measurement, tapering
down to a point from a thickness Of
about six inches, where the tusks pro-
ject from the head. The elements of
ages have apparently had but little eff
feet on these mastodonic ornaments,
for the surface is almost smooth and
nearly as hard as rock, and the COM
bined weight of the two tusks exceeds
$50 pounds. The tooth found is of ir-
regular shape, probably fourteen in
ches long, six inches through, and
weighs ten or fifteen pounds. Seattle
