COMPLETE MAsToDoN.
Body Found on the Yukon With Hair
and Skin Intact

The complete form of a mastodon
has been discovered at Hillside, on
Quartz creek. according to dispatch
received by the Seattle Post-Intelli-
gencer from Dawson, Y. T. 1t was
imbedded thirty-eight feet in the earth
when found, and it necessitated the
use of steam thawing plant to un-
earth the immense animal.
The hair and skin of the beast are in
perfect state of preservation, al
though the flesh is somewhat decom-
posed and the big tusks. which remain
fastened to the skull, are in good con-
dition. 1t is estimated that the skele-
ton is worth $4,000, as there are but
one or two of them in existence in as
good condition as this. The mhsto-
don was discovered buried in an old
channel well in the zone of almost per-
petual frost, which accounts for its
good preservation.

in the expectation of corn and wheat.
New Orleans is now the second of the
country's cities in aggregate exports.
ranking next to New York. Galveston
was the fourth city in exports in 1903,
exceeding all the country's Atlantic

Day by Day.

Walking with patience where the way
Is rough,
Resting in quiet when the storm is
nigh.
Knowing that love Divine is strong
enough
To bear me up as weary days go by:
Trusting that sorrow is but loves dis
guise,
And all Withholding, yet another way
OF making richer by what love denies
So grows the soul n little, day by day.

The vessel came to Il full stop within
