IVORY FROM SIBERIA
Found Buried in Mud Of Rivers and
in Great Northern Swamps.

Discussing the production of ivory,
Vladimir Fedoreff of st. Petersburg.
Russia, said Siberia furnishes a large
quantity of ivory to the markets Of
the world but that the production of
1t belongs TO another age and to a
species Of animal that does not now
exist.
The ivory is cut from the tusks Of
mastodons whose skeletons are found
frozen in masses of ice or buried in
the mud Of Siberian rivers and
swamps. The northern portion Of the
country aboJuds in extensive boss
which are called urmans. In these
are found the tusks of the mastodon.
from which it is inferred these ami
mails lost their lives yentUring upon
a surface that would not bear their
weight
Even to wild animals urmans are
forbidden ground. The nimble step
ping broad hoofed reindeer can some
times cross them safely in the sum-
mer time, but most other largc ami
mails attempting to do so would
quickly be engulfed, and this may be
a partial explanation Of the remains
of the mammoth and the rhinoceros
which are so abundant and so widely
diffused through these northern marsh
lands of Siberia
In the museum at Tobolsk are
numerous specimens of mammoth
and throughout that region they are
by no means rare. When an ice pack
breaks down a river bank or foods
tears up frozen marsh or the sum
mer thaw penetrates a little more
deeply than usual into the ground
some of these ante-diluvian monsters
are likely to be exposed.
In many cases the remains are so
fresh and well preserved with their
dark shaggy hair and underwood of
reddish brown, their tufted ears and
long, curved tusks, that all the abort.

settlers persist in the belief that they
are specimens OF animals which still
live. burrowing underground like
moles and dying the instant they are
admitted to the light

COUNTY JAIL UNFIT.

John Mccarthy of GAINESVILLE was
sentenced this morning by Judge Tay-
Tor TO serve ten months in the state
penitentiary for completely in the rob-
bling of certain Great Northern freight
cars, year or so ago, his accomplices
having been George Frankhauser, now
doing a life sentence for another of
Tense, and Joe Velthouse, who later
turned states evidence.
McCarthy's attorney. C. A. .Nye, made
an impassioned appeal for a Jail sem
Etence, considering all the surroundings
of the case and that in reality the de-
PENDANT had allowed himself to be
made tool of. Mr.. Nye emphasized
the fact that intemperance had been
the mans worst enemy 1t was that
which led him into trouble and for that
reason he asked the extension of len
iency to the extent that he be not sent
to the state prison.
Judge Taylor said he did not consid-
er the defendant the most important
party in the robbing of the cars OF
which the case had TO do. He consid-
cred the. defendant more of tool but
the jury considered he had guilty
knowledge of what was going on.
II cannot consider a Jail sentence"
said the court, "for the reason that the
board of control has condemned the
jail of this county as absolutely unit
for the confinement of convicted prjs-
oners and the request has been made
of courts that prisoners be not. com
mitted to that jail for long terms. An
other reason for not pronouncing jail
sentence Is that the prisoner would be
kept In idleness, and third, he would
not be amenabie to the discipline such
a man should be subjected to-. With
good behavior allowance Mccarthy can
gain his release by the middle of next
summer.
