DIN0SAuR FOUND
BY A Denver man
Scientists at Work Trying to
Collect All Of the Bones.

Grand Junction. Colo. - Coming to
Grand Junction to examine the skele-
ton Of the dinosaur found south Of the
city recently, Professor ]. D. Higgins
Of the City Park museum in Denver
found another while searching the
hills. He expects to have it excavated
and removed to Denver to be mounted
In the museum.
Professor Higgins, with two guides,
viewed the pile Of bones of the petri.
fed dinosaur recently located and
found the bones much scattered and
disintegrated. Some were carried
away by specimen hunters. He found
several hard, round rocks which he
declared to be the stones a dinosaur
swallowed to grind food with, as a
chicken swallows pebbles.
He kept on. the trait and soon found
small slivers Of bone and large joint
sticking out of the ground.
He staked the place and returned to
Grand Junction and states that he will
Immediately start the work Of having
the huge skeleton uncovered.
Judging from the. formation where
the bones were found, there is every
reason to believe that the skeleton can
be taken out in more than ordinarily
fine condition.
Professor Higgins said it has always
been the case that when petrfed
skeletons of dinosaurs have been found
in Colorado some eastern museum has
swooped in and captured the prize,
while Colorado's own museum stands
devoid Of any Of the specimens found
In its own state. If this proves to be
fairly good specimen it will be placed
in the Denver museum as rapidly as
the work can be accomplished.
While there is no way Of determin-
ing the size Of the saurian until some
excavation is. made, the size Of the
joint found protruding from the ground
indicates that the animal was as large
as the largest ones found in the valley:

one minute, even though the gum
pointers saw nothing but wall of
fog.
Summing it all up, war game eX-
perts declare 1t improbable that an
enemy's fleet could destroy Fort Han
cocks mine fields and searchights,
and, unless they did this, they could
not advance to the Narrows Even If
they succeeded at Fort Hancock they
would have the same thing to do over
again at Fort Wadsworth, and again
at Fort Hamilton, before they could
steam into the upper bay.
What would you consider the best
way of attacking one of our fortified
harbors?' was asked of foreign at
tache. And the answer was:
we wouldn't do it, The thing
can't be done" Then this naval au-
thority continued:
You Americans have nothing to
learn from Europe in the matter of
coast defences. On the contrary, Eu-
rope can learn from you. And your
fleet is all right; but your mobile
army" He shrugged his shout
ders. You have an empire that
reaches half way around the globe,
from Portland. Me. to the Philippines,
from Alaska to Panama, and you are
trying to guard it with so small a
mobile army that-wel, it's joke;
joke that may end in tragedy"
I have heard this disturbing view
from others-from distinguished Off
GERS in our service who admit that
our army is inadequate to the needs
of the country.
our harbors are splendidly fortified
against attack from the sea" said an
officer of our Coast Artillery Corps.
but how about attack from the Ia nd?
Why should an enemy try to take
Boston Harbor from the front
when they have only to land troops
few miles up the coast or down
the coast and take it from the rear?
Gen. Leonard Wood did this in ma
nGuvres some years ago. What's ia
prevent an enemy from doing it now
any time?"
You mean Boston particularly
Il mean any of our fortified har-
hors-all of them Take San Fran
cisco. What's to prevent an enemy
from landing troops below the de-
fences of the Golden Gate? Can't you
see them swarming up the peninsula
and capturing the Preside fortifca-
tons without receiving a single shot
from the big guns?"
Because the big guns have only q
limited field of fire?"
Exactly"
And an enemy could take New
York harbor in this way?"
why not? We worked the thinl
out once as a war game problem a

fields. There is no question that
trained military observer in an aero
plans can see these deadly mines from
a considerable height: in fact, within
certain limits and for optical reasons,
he sees them better as the height in
creases.
Not only may aeroplanes be thus
used 20 bring information to an enemy
as to the presence or absence of mines
IN given channel or harhor, but it
is within the near possibilities that
they may carry number of counter
mines, TO be dropped with time fuses
burning, so as 20 make them explode
under water in the midst of the mine
area. Aeroplanes are built now that
will lift load of a ton or more; that is
the equivalent of eight or tn counter
mines, each capable of exploding three
or four harbor mines II it happened to
strike at the right point.
How far apart are harbor mines
usually placed?" | asked an officer.
That depends upon the harbor,"
he said. Perhaps fifty yards, per-
haps seventy-tve yards apart. They
are usually arranged like the alter
nate squares on a checkerboard."
How near to one of these mines
would the counter mine have to fall in
order to explode it?"
I'VE calculate that a harbor mine
will tear a fifteen foot hole in the bot
tom of battleship, If exploded within
twenty-five yards of her, at a depth OF
four or five yards. A counter mine
would be equally effective against
mines"
Then aeroplanes may do serious in
jury to mine fields by dropping coun-
ter mines upon them?"
Yes, if they can be dropped and eX-
ploded with sufficient precision. The
thing is rather in the future, but it is
possible"
What will be the defence against
them?"
Rapid fire guns from the forts or
from harbor defence vessels. 1t will
be desperate risk for me1 in aero
planes, carrying ton of explosives in
the form Of counter mines. Still there
are always volunteers ready to risk
their lives"
more familiar method If destroying
mine fields is to send out from the fleet
vessels Of a draught shallow enough
to pass over the mines in safety, and
to have these vessels grapple for the
mine cables, lift them to the surface
and cut them, as Admiral Dewey die
in Manila Bay. Both of these meth,
DDS are extremely perilous and o,
doubtful issue. owing to the fact tina

Fishers Island man9uvres is that the
best coast defences in the world would
be seriously handicapped in a real
campaign if put on short allowance OF
ammunition. Time and time again in
this particular place the shore bat
teres did not fire COR pretend TO iire)
at the fleet, although the situation was
favorable for firing, simply because
the strategy of the game required
that they act as they would in actual
warfare, and in actual warfare the
coast defences would not have had
nearly enough smokeless powder for
their needs. At that time there was
not enough ammunition on hand and
it could not have been procured i'm
mediateiy with all the Rockefeller
fortune. 1t is "A matter of many
months to manufacture a great guam
tity of smokeless powder such as this
country would need in case of war.
And the need would be immediate and
urgent.
1t should also be said that in actual
war the destroyers would not have
found ii so easy TO produce a protect
ing curtain of smoke for the reason
that as soon as the first destroyer APP
peared at the head of the smoke line
it would have been promptly shot to
pieces and sunk by the shore batteries.
Then the second destroyer, thus ex-
posed, would have suffered the same
fate, and so on. the result being that
the smoke curtain to shield the battle
ships would never have been spread.
In the Fishers Island mannuvres
submarines were sent out against the
mines, the idea being that these ves-
sells could search under water until
they found the electric cables con-
nected with the mines and, by cutting
these could end this danger Or, by
touching severed cable end with
wires from a battery they could ex-
plode the mines harmlessly and so
secure safe passage for their fleet
through the channel.
That was the idea: but when it
came to lifting out of the mud a
length Of cable weighing several tons
it was found that the submarine is
quite ineffective. Her men could not
get out OF her to handle the cable
without letting in water: nor could
they, with any success, manipulate
the heavy and awkward graphing or
cutting apparatus. So this effort
failed.
And here may be mentioned an i'm
portant development in ship to shore
manGuvres that has come recently
with the perfecting Of the aeroplane
Our coast defence authorities are seri-
ously considering, in their councils OF
strategy, what their answering move
will be against aeroplanes used by ar
enemy to locate or destroy our mint
