MANS ORIGIN TRACED
 INTO DIM ANTIQUITY
 BY STRANGE RECORDS

 es of the Hava Supai Canyon, an un- surveyed region in northern Arizona, and the object of scientific expe- dition last year, reveal man in exist ence during the dinosaur age, in the opinion of Samuel Hubbard, curator of archaeology of the Oakland Muse um, who acted as directer of the party.
 Deductions of Mr. Hubbard were made public today in a brochure en- titled "The Doheny Scientific Expedi- tion" Photographs taken from the lead Mr. Hubbard to the conclusion that some prehistoric man made photograph of dinosaur on the walls of this canyon. This completely up- sets all our theories regarding the an- tiquity of man."
 E. l.. Doheny, sponsor of the eX- petition, visited the Hava Supai Can yon as young prospector in 1879. His party comprised the first known body of white men to invade the canyon and one of their number was killed in the attempt, the report points out. MT. Hubbard made three previous visits to the region which yielded the specimens.
 The scientific party, composed of five persons, made it's way into the unsurveyed region of high waterfalls located ill a valley 3,195 feet above sea level, north of Williams, Arizona, in the area of the Grand Canyon. The section is inhabited by 183 h. dians on the Supai reservation. MT. Hubbard was accompanied on his ex- petition by Charles w. Gilmore, cur ator of vertebrate paleontology of the United States National Museum. Mr. Gilmore did not agree in all parti- culars with the general conclusions of the party
 Mr. Gilmore, however, the report points out, identified dinOsaur tracks located 100 miles from the valley of the ancient figures The dinOsaur tracks were in the area known as the Painted Desert" A Photographs of
 the dinosaur tracks, according to the report, show the print of the dino saur tail as it dipped between the
 foot prints and formed a balancing point for the numbering giant of an- tiquity.
 Referring to the photograph taken of the dinosaur figure chiseled into the red sandstone sides of the walls of the isolated valley Mir. Hubbard concludes that either man goes back in geologic time to the Triassic period, which is millions of years be- yond anything yet admitted, or else there were left over dinosaurs which came down into the age of mann mals.'
 Turning to conjecture on the crea tive ability of the prehistoric man who comes out of the findings of the expedition, the report says he made and used tools and had an eye for form and sense of proportion. He felt the same urge to create which animates civilized man. In the face of this evidence the ape man, if there ever was such creature, is buried still deeper in the overwhelming ages of time"
 On the same stone wall with the dinosaur figures the explorers photo graphed the outline of an elephant attacking man. "The elephant" says the report, lis striking the man on the top of the head with it's trunk" A wavy line in the figure, which is in the center of an unex- plained group" represents water into which the man has retreated up to his knees"
 III tH1 SS SSpdI dt6u pidCSS III lIG canyon the explorers found and pho tographed chiseled figures of ibex on the walls. One group, showing "a male and two females,' was found immediately under the elephant pie ture, the report asserts
 'The interesting thing about this is that no ibex, not even fossil ones, have ever been found in America" ;" the report adds. These drawings would seem to indicate that they must have been common animal in the Grand Canyon in the prehistoric past. Roy Chapman Andrews, who has hunted ibex in the Gobi desert in Mongolia, pronounced these to be ibex for the reason that the char acteristic knobs on the front of the horns are faithfully represented in the carving"
