The Stricken Indians positively assert
that within the last Eve years they have
frequently seen animals which, from the
descriptions given, must be mastodons.
While out hunting one Of these Indians
came across series OF large tracks, each
the size Of the bottom of q salt barrel, sunk
deep IN the moss. He followed the curious
trail for some miles, finally coming out In
full view Of his game. As clasa the In
dians are tho bravest Of hunters, but the
proportions Of this new species OF game
filled the hunter with terror, and he took
to swift and immediate flight. He describes
the creature as being Ms large as a post
traders store, with great, shining, yellow
ish white tusks and mouth large enough
70 swallow man at single gulp.
He further says that the animal was un-
doubtedly OF the same species as those
whose bones and tusks lie ali over that sec
tion of tie country. The fact that other
hunters have told Of seeing these monsters
browsing on the herbs up along the river
gives certain probability to the story.
Over on Forty Mile creek bones Of masto.
dons are quite plentiful. One ivory tusk
nine feet long projects from one of the sand
dunes ON that creek. and single teeth have
been found that were 20 large that they
would be good load for one man to carry.
