CONFLICTING GOLD REPORTS.

san Francisco, Cal, July 3O.-Reports
concerning the new gold fields at Cape
Nome brought by the steamer St. Paul,
which arrived yesterday with $50 miners

FOUND A MAMMoTH's TOOTH.
A Rare Specimen Discovered in an
Ohio GrnyeI Pit.

Ashtaubula, O., July 3O.-Geologists are
interested in discovery just made nine
miles east of Ashtabula in a gravel pit at
depth of forty feet Railroad workmen
there while operating a steam shovel I'm
covered a giant fossil tooth. Its actual
weight is nine pounds and three ounces,
its greatest circumference twenty six
inches. and its length exactly one foot
1t is the tooth of mammoth, OF which
specimens are found in Siberia but seldom
in this country, and never below the
fortieth parallel.
Relics of mastodons haye been found at
several places in America. The tooth of
mastodon is distinguished from the ram
moth first by its size. The teeth of mann
moths are double the size OF those of the
mastodon. The surface OF the mastodon' s
tooth is decidedly ragged, while the tooth
of the mammoth, such as has been found
here. is comparatively smooth. The gravel
pit in which the discovery was made COM
prises ffty-fye acres.
Prior TO the discovery of this tooth the
attention of the public has on several oc-
casions been directed to this spot in the
Western Reserve. What was claimed to
be by many a corduroy road built by pre-
historic man was unearthed at a depth of
forty feet. The logs. which lay side by side
for hundreds of feet. were well preserved
and their arrangement has the appearance
of the handiwork of human beings. Prof.
Wright. of 0berlin College, who il an au-
thority on geology. has visited Amboy,
as well as hundreds of educated people
from far and near. A strange feature of
the finding OF the logs is that several dis
tinct roadways have been found. all ex-
tending from east to west. the logs varying
in thickness from six to seven inches. Some
say they are relics of the pre-glacial
period which was contemporaneous with
the age of mastodons and mammoths. AS
the gravel pit is within three miles of Lake
Erie. it is possible that a glacier felled
rows OF trees into their present POSITION,
burying not only timber but the huge
beasts which often Inhabited swamp lands
A Surther search for prehistoric relics
will be begun at once near the spot where
the tooth was found. The present speci-
men will probably be sent to the Smith
sonian Institution.

1t is stated that several prominent trust

''lt would appear from some of the ut

later years he had some doubts of the
soundness of his materialistic philosophy,
and was content TO be an aanostic. He
never had any doubts, however, as to the
falsity of the popular creeds. and never
showed any signs of regret for the things
he had said against them. While feeling
II possible, perhaps, that science may war
rant a belief in God and immortality, he
was certain 1t can never warrant a belief
in the God of the creeds. nor in the dogma
