COUNCIL BLUFFS. Ia; Dec. IT.
Excavations now being made for this
new line or the Milwaukee railroad In
western Iowa are bringing to light
fossil remains OF the great monsters
OF the Pliocene and Miocene ages.
An Immense burial field OF these pre-
historic beasts extends from Sioux
Falls, s. D.. TO Hamburg. Ia. and from
across Iowa, embracing probably forty
thousand square miles. From this
great area thousands and thousands or
fossils are being dug up almost daily.
So common are they that they no

workmen. They are being used for
ballast along with the rocks and gravel
which comes out with them.
