A PREHISTORIC RACE.

An interesting document on a prehis-
toric race that inhabited California has
been prepared by DR.. William H. Holmes.
OF the Smithsonian Institution. which will
be published in few days. In this docu-
ment DR.. Holmes describes some recent
discoveries In California, and says:
These discoveries have created in the
minds Of some the Impression that the
race existed al some time during the last
three or four centuries, but this is not so.
In historic times race Of men OF high
type, physically and mentally, however,
greatly superior to the Indian tribes who
inhsbit that region today. did exist

eating the characteristics Of its prede-
cessor-
The region Of Table Mountain in Tuo-
lumne and Calayerss counties has Yielded

upon TO establish the theory OF this pre-
historic race. Here finds have been re-
ported in OeWildering numbers. the objects

emily wholly independent OF one another ."

The Montezuma mine in this locality
was the source Of some OF the most valua-
bic finds The FIRST discovery OF the buried
treasures was made by workman I'm the

liar state of affairs was made public here

hard With the Fo-ty-seveuth United States
Volunteer Infantry. 4 body supposed to
be his and officially identified as his was
buried in 81. Jcseph's Cemetery on Octo-

tieth Regular Infantry dated Manila, De-
eember 3. 1893. saying,
The report that Frederick Mcdonald is
