PETRIFIED SHIPS.
Found 100 Miles From the Ocean and
1000 Feet Above Sea Level.

Dawson City Cor. San Francisco Ex-
aminer.-On a bleak and barren hill
side of the Arctic coast, near the head
waters of the Porcupine river, more
than 1000 feet above the. sea level,
and long way above timber line,
where none save the Indian hunter
has ever placed foot, there lie COM
plete hulls of two large ships, petrifed.
This find is so remarkable that the
discoveries of remains of mastodons,
which have been made from time to
time, sink into insignifcance by COM
parison.
Mr. Liskche, printer of Seattle,
Wash, who returned from the Koyu-
kuk country recently, brought the
news of the find to Dawson. He says
that DR.. Cleveland, who is known from
one end of the territory to the other,
has gone to investigate the matter.
The manner of the discovery was
this:
A party of Chandelar Indians was
hunting near the headwaters of the
Porcupine river, which they had
reached by following the Chandelar
creek. One day while on the side of
a mountain, whose slope is toward the
Arctic Ocean, one of the party, look
ing about for game, CHANGED to spy
high on the mountain side above him
a rocky formation of shape he had
never seen before He was about to
continue search for game, but changed
his mind, and toiled up the side of
the mountain toward the strange OBJ
ject. 1t was not till he got to it that
he discovered that there were two OBJ
jects very much alike, and then it
suddenly dawned upon him that there,
more than 100 miles from the sea, and
high above it, were two ships, the
larger probably 4VV feet long, turned
to stone.
That night when the party was in
camp the hunter told his story. It
was not believed, but he was so per.
sistent that it was true that next day
several hunters went with him to see
and partial fear was as great as his
own. They examined the bulls more
closely than he had done, and the re-
suit of this examination was such
that the story cannot be doubted.
They went to the interior of the YES
ell and brought back with them some
cups and plates made for table pur-
pose and of an ancient and ponder
GUS description. Only a few of them
could be brought out by the Indian.
1t was only the recollection of the
manner in which they had been dis
posed to treat the story told them by
their comrade that induced them to
bring anything away with them.
They knew they would not be believed
if they mad no evidence other than
their words-hence the tableware.
The Indians. also found petrifed
forest of tropical growth even higher
on the mountain, though in the i'm
mediate vicinity of the ships. They
describe these trees of stone as hay
ing leaves as long as mans body
and very broad.
