TRY TO DEFRAUD JEWELLERS
So Called Elk Teeth Were Found
To Be Bogus.

number Of Maiden Lane jewellers have
been visited in the last few days by three
men, who have been trying to sell fake elk
teeth It is said that they have not been
working together but all three told the
same story of a rich find Of elk teeth In
Indian mounds on Western ranch. Ac-
cordinS to reports current In Maiden Lane,
thousands of bogus elk teeth have been sold
OF late to jewellers in all parts of the coun-
try on the pretance that the teeth were gen
uine.
The elk" teeth were offered in Maiden
Lane at from 81 to 81 20 each, whereas local
dealers say q genuine elk tooth Is worth
from s. to s25. The genuine teeth are used
by jewellers In making Elk fraternity Jew
elry and are In big demand.
A number of the teeth were submitted to
F. A. Lucas OF the American Museum of
Natural History. in this city. by Henry
Freund & Fro, wholesale jewellers at No
II Nassau street. and he returned a report
which declared them fraudulent Mr. Lucas
said the limitations were made from the
teeth of some other animal, as shown by
cross sections of the specimens submitted
when these were compared with those OF
genuine elk teeth. From the fine charac-
ter OF the ivory and the general style oi
the centres, Mr.. Lucas is of the opinion
that the imitation elk teeth are made from
tie grinding teAth of the walrus. The teeth
have been artincially colored by chemicals
Statesmen returning to Maiden Lane have
brought reports from other cities of jew
ellers who have been purchasing these imi'
tation elk teeth
