MAMMOTH REMAINS.
Reported Finding of q Skull of Great
Size in San MateO Comfy,
California.

The evidences of life belonging TO
the preglacial age are rare in Califor-
mia; still a specimen has been discov-
cred near the coast in San Mateo coun-
~, il the statement contained in a
Halfmoon bay dispatch may be relied
upon. A well-preserygd skull Of the
mammoth is said 10 have been recently
taken out Of the bed OF pilarcitos creek
by some boys who were employed in
hauling sand at point about a mile
east of Halfmoon Bay. The skull is
reported 10 be about five feet in length
and portions of the tusks a foot long
are attached to ii and are six inches
in diameter at the junction with the
bone. These extend into the cerebral
cavity. Bones OF the mammoth were
also found in the neighborhood some
years ago.
The discovery Of these remains. says
the San Francisco Chronicle, is no
proof that the mammoth ever wan
dered at large during life in these parts.
The evidences are, Of course, indisput-
able that great herds Of these pregla-
cial beasts pastured in the valley Of the
Yukon and on the shores OF Siberia
and the Behring sea. During some vio-
lent convulsion Of nature great ice
sheets enveloped the far north. and
many OF their carcasses have been
preserved therein up 10 the present
time, hides, hair, flesh, bones and tusks
being found IN perfect condition. Mines
Of mammoth ivory were proftably
worked in Alaska long before the terri
tory became a field for the search OF
gold. These mammoth remains have
been discovered in the placers Of the
Klondike and at other points in the
frozen banks OF the Yukon and its trib-
utaries There would be nothing inn
probable in the assumption that the
mammoth remains now unearthed on
Pilarcitos creek near the shores Of
Halfmoon bay had been deposited at
the point where found by stranded ice
foe brought down from the far north
at some remote period by the ocean
current which sweeps down the west.
