EARLY AMERICAN GIANTS.
Reasons for Relieving That a Race
of 2O-FOOters Lived in Arizona.


Does anybody believe that there ever has
been race of giants in the world? Does
anybody believe that race Of gigantic
men, who were from twelve to twenty
feet high, ever lived in these United
States of America? And yet the proof that
such a race of people did live in this coun-
try is to be found in the Grand Canyon
of the Colorado river in Northern Arizona.
This proof consists of first: Footprints IN
the red sandstone. Footprints that ap-
pear to have been made by the mecca sim
ed feet of gigantic men. Men whose
tracks measured twenty inches in length
and who stepped FIVE feet at stride.
The second proof is that there is the pet
rifed body Of such man, likewise in the
red sandstone Of the Grand Canyon dis
trict. This body was that of a living.
breathing man, but, after death the flesh
was replaced by lime or silica, held In So
luton in the water. There is ample evil
dence that nature was able to perform
this feat, as the petrifying process IA be-
ing carried on in the canyon to this day.
The third fact is that there is aud was
a strong and almost universal tradition
among the ancient people OF Mexico ana
their country.
Perhaps il is almost 100 much TO call
this proof, but it Is at least corroborative
testimony.
Last June visited the Grand Canyon as
a tourist. The Atlantic and Pacific Rail
road TO Flagstaff, thence by stage seventy
miles to the Hauce train on the brink Of
the gorge. There I met Mr.. Hull who
was acting as guide into the canyon ana
who was a pioneer of Northern Arizona
lie told me the following story. and. with
apologies for my credulity, l believe him.
Three years ago he ana a companlon
named Jim Lavelle had been prospecting
in this part Of the country. They found a
ledge which they thought was valuable
and had started out OF the canyon with
samples of tho ore, expecting to return ii,
few days. one of the Indians was with
them. Mr.. Hull speaks the Indian Ian
guase fiuently and the Indians have a
great admiration for him. The Indian said

here, volunteering to show it. They fol-
lowed him up a foot trail which led
through a crevce in the red wall thence
on to the bench-hke formation above, but
still in the midst of the red sandstone.
They came to a place where a projecting
rock formed a shelter over a sloping table,
slab of stone which was covered with
white inorustaticn of lime. Outstretche1
on this slab was the body of a gigantic
man turned into stone. The body was en-
tirely nude and lay face downward. They
estimated his hight to be eighteen Or
twenty feet. The left arm was out at fun
length, while the right arm was doub ell
under his head The left YVES perfect
but the foot was damned into crack in
the slab The right leg was broken off
just below the knee and the broken part
was missing. They looked at it ten or fiji
teen minutes and then continued Their
journey, intending to return and make
more complete investigation. Plans chang
ed any they failed to return.
Mr.. Hull told the story to several peop e.
but they either disbelieved him or dis
couraged him, so it happened that he had
never been back there and that he had
never tried to do anything with his d $
covery.
He also told me that reliable Indians
had described to him tracks of both men
and animals in the solid rock not far from
this body and in the same formation
These he had never seen, but he had no
doubt of their existence.
This was startling Information, but
had been in a measure prepared for 1t. In
the first place it had always seemed reas-
enable to me that the prehistoric, prime
val hunting savages should have b=en OF
large stature. Geology tells us that there
was a period in the history of the void
