BONES OF PREHISTORIC
ANIMAL DISCOVERED

PUEBLO, Col. Dec. 1S.--Buried In
The limestone formation OF a creek
bed Is ieet below the surface of the
ground, the petrlfied bones of an ami
NAL of abnormal proportions have
been discovered in the Green Horn
Mountains in western Pueblo county.
The finder OF the supposed remains OF
q prehistoric beast is Roy Garrett.
He had shot a squirrel while drtv-
ing from his ranch 10 his home In
Pueblo and, running down into the
creek bottom TO hunt for Ii. stumbled
over an enormous tusk, the point OF
which had been uncovered by recent
flood waters.
Returning to his wagon, Garrett
obtained a spade. and by digging sew
-eral hours disclosed other bones OF
such gigantic proportions that he was
unable to handle them. He brought
the tusk, which measures IA inches
through and six feet In length TO Pueb-
10, and with assistance expects 10
gather the other bones.
Garrett Is confident that II Is the
petrified body OF mammoth or mas
todon, and that IL will furnish val

In an affidavit filed with her appli-

"best friend" Mrs. Benson alleges
that her sons wife refused TO cook for
him.
When told Of this allegation the
young bride said the reason she did
not cook was that her husband did
not provide anything to be cooked.
They lived on bread and jelly, and
similar light diet, she said. The sep
aration, she said, came when she fen

Mrs Benson's version was different.
She said she was Christian Scien-

her daughterin-law to take that

BROAD PASS IS RICH IN ORE
FRED LAUBNER SAYS TT IS ONE OF GREATEST DISTRICTS
 IN ALASKA

That the Broad Pass country is one of the greatest mining districts in Alaska is the general belief which is now gaining ground according to Fred Latibner who has just returned from the Knik and surrounding districts. The people over there are already preparing to establish a freight line to the Broad Pass for the winter as the recent discoveries make it certain that a large number of mining men will be engaged there from this time forward. Fifty tons of supplies are now actually waiting to be shipped in. The ore will have to be treated on the spot but the lodges are so immense and the ore is so good that it is re garded as a certainty that great oper- atiOnS will be commenced there with in very short space of time. The people around Knik believe it to be .he greatest discovery for many years if not the greatest ever made in Alaska.
 Mir. Laubner will go out on the Northwestern and hopes to return in March when the government officially announces that the railroad work will De commenced from Seward to the in- terior.
