INTERESTING DISPLAY OF
CURIOS AND RELICS,
Some From the Orient, and Some That
Have Come Down From Daniel
Boone Through Direct Descent.

In window of the Buttermilk Cafe
on North Oregon street is collection
of curios and relics that every Carni-
val attendant should see. The col!ec-
ton is the property of the wife of Lieu
tenant Franklin who is in the e. S.
army service in China. Mrs. Franklin
accompanied her husband on a trip to
the Philippines and China and secured
the curios while there. She is also
descendant of Daniel Boone the IA
nous Kentuckian, and she possesses
many relics that were once the proper
ty of that noted man. Some of them
are in the collection at the cafe.
Among the japanese curios are land
carved wooden and ivory boxes. There
are samples of cloth made from the
banana and pineapple plants from ia
pan and grass linen from China. Hand
made silverware and baskets from In
dia and instruments of war and labor
from the Philippines. Among the heir
looms that have been handed down
from generation to generation from
Daniel Boone are his apple jack bottle,
his cap, ink bottle, and other relics.
The collection can be- seen from the
outside or some of the attaches of the
cafe will take pleasure in explaining
around and see them.

A MASTODON'S TOOTH.
An Interesting Discovery Made North
of the City.

James Burson, who is engaged in
mining sixty-five miles north of the
city, made an interesting discovery a
few days ago, the tooth of maStodOn
at depth of eighty feet. There was
no other trace of the prehistoric beast,
though, perhaps, if the excavation had
been broadened the other teeth would
have been found, for there is nothing
more nearly indestructible than a mas
eight pounds. 1t is nearly a foot long,
three inches thick and the depth from
the grinding surface to the end of the
longest root is about ten inches. The
distance of the discovery below the
surface proves that the face of the
country has undergone some changes
within the last several thousand years.
Time has eaten horizontal burrows
along the side. devouring only the
limy substance and there its ravages
ended. The grinding surface is as
bright as it was when it was in active
inch had been worn away since the
last mouthful of heritage was crunched
between it and it's opposing molar.
The tooth was exhibited by Ed Met
calf at the Hotel Adams last night
Not one man in a thousand has ever
seen mastodon's tooth, and though
it is tooth-shaped, its size was so enor-
nous that it was not at first recog-
nized. A mining man sized it up as a
chunk of ore. the like of which he had
never seen before. and he thought he
had seen every kind of formation. An
other man knew what it was and said
so.-Phoenix Republican.
