II one were TO reason wholly FROM
appearances, the prehistoric mastodon
must have had an accomplished dentist
with modern appliances. This is the
conclusion one might reach after read
ing an incident cited by John R. Spears
in Gold Diggings OF Cape Horn" The
story was told to the author by a South
American miner, who himself found
the curious deposit
This miner, searching for gold along
the coast, found in an earth bank fos-
sill which proved to be a part of a mas
todon's lower jaw, with two teeth In
place.
The bone was In such a deeayed con-
dition that the finder was about to
throw it away. when his eye fell on a
crack in the top and side OF one Of the
teeth. The cavity thus formed was
filled with a foreign substance, to
which the miner applied his knife, and
found, to his astonishment. that II was
pure gold
The explanation OF the curious dis
covery is probably as follows: The
gold, contained in broken-down quartz,
was washed into the cavity by the ae-
tion OF water, deposited there, and the
fine grains united to form a nugget.
The old bone simply happened to be
lying in the track os the silt.
The piece OF gold thus formed weigh
ed about eight grams.
