John d. Losekamp of Billings, Mont,
practically holds the elk tooth stock Of
the entire country, and 10 this already
enormous supply he is constantly adding,
the indians and hunters bringing teeth
to him from all over the country. Not
every one knows that the elk teeth, or
rather the tusks, of which two only are
found in the mouth of tho adult elk, have
a practical commercial value. The teeth
are used as jewolry, mostly as pendants
on watchguards or as insignia of the
secret society known as Elks. The value
of tooth ranges from 80 cents to Sc so
according to its size, color and marking
Mr.. Losekamp has now over $4,000 elk
teeth deposited in safety vaults. Many
of the old Indian dresses were highly or
nameuted with elk teeth, some of then
being fairly covered with the teeth. Mr.
Losekamp has lived on the frontier al
his mature life, and understands India
trading perfectly, yet he has sometime
paid over 800 for a single garment thu
ornsmented, caring, Of course, for nothin
