MAMMOTH OF THE MOUNTAINS.
Yertebra of . Prehistoric Monster
~ Inches in Circumference.

From the Denver Times.
The great Cripple Creek district, during
its history of but few years. has been
prolific in surprises to the delivers after
hidden wealth. The district seems to be
able to produce anything from a nugget
of gold to the petrified remains of masto-
don. a Mckinley Republican or other spe-
cies of rare fossils. The discovery made
by party of prospectors the other day on
Thirty-nine Mile mountain will certainly
prove most interesting TO scientists, and
the find will prove to be as great a
curiosity is the nerve of the heads Of
certain of our municipal departments.
Woolly elephants. the megatherium and
other mastodons. relics of prehistoric age,
are rather out of our line. but We can pro-
duee them If demand should arise Bound
less are the resources of the great gold
camp, and If the world doesn't see what
IL wants here. all it has to do is simply to
ask for il.
A few days since party consisting of
c. s. Wftherspoon, J. W. McBeth, W,
White and T. Burge was prospecting upon
the northwestern slope of Thirty-nine Mile
mountain. Wishing to find water to drink,
Witherspoon started up a shallow gIlch
running up the side of the mountain The
eye of the proSpector. long trained by ex-
perience to the closest of observation of
the earth over which he passed, was
ally large bone. Mr.. Witherspoon at once
cleared the debris from his find, and to
his great amazement discovered that he
had unearthed section of the vertebra
Of some gigantic animal. far exceeding in
size anything which to-day treads the sur
face Of the earth.
The party at once began a series Of ex.
plorations. and was rewarded by turning
up large portion of the remains of the
prehistoric monster. At the time when D.
S. Hall left the party twenty sections Of
vertebra had been uncovered. When 1t is
stated that one of these sections of back
bone measured forty-four inches in circunl-
ference, the hugeness of the mastodon is
obvious. One thigh bone was unearthed
which measured in length forty-nine inches
and forty inches in circumference at the
hook joint. One of the bones of the lower
foreleg was thirty-nine inches in length
while the torsal point was thirty-six inches
in circumference. One section of rib was
found to be thirty-nine inches in length
and twelve inches in circumference
The discOverers will continue the search
until all that remains of the gigantic fossil
has been brought to light. They expect 10
cause 1t to be mounted, when It will be-
sent to either state or national museum.
II is probable that this relic of bygone
ages viii be exhibited to the Cripple Creek
public previous to its consignment to its
ultimate resting place in one of the educa-
ttonal institutions.

The latest and most radical change in

In this bicycle the sprocket wheel is on a
