The Elbert County tribune. [volume] (Elbert, Elbert County, Colo.) 18??-1920, 1904-06-16

The Tribune is indebted to William
Morgan. who recently returned to his
home north Of Ebert from southern Ar
! iona, for curiosity in the form OF a
..Resurrection" plant. This plant is a
I native Of Mexico, and derives its name,
we suppose. from the fact that it appar-
entity comes to life when placed in water.
/ When out Of water the plant closes up
into a ball and the leaves resemble those
of a dead pine, but when placed in water
| for few hours il gracefully unfurls
itself into beautiful green plant

j. A. Boston last week unearthed the
jaw bone OF a mastodon or some animal
of the prehistoric age, on his ranch Just
east of Ebert. Mr.. Boston discovered
the specimen-the left half OF the lower
jaw bone, in bank Of earth, about fifty
feet below the surface. The bone is over
eighteen inches in length and the teeth
are as perfect as could be. The bone
and teeth are petrified. The bone is on
exhibition at the Tribune office and all
who have seen it pronounce it the best
and largest specimen they have ever
seen. Mr.. Boston thinks there are more
bones of the animal where this came
from and will investigate further.
