THAN 100000 YEARS OLD
FOUND IN JEROME LIME

and embedded in white limestone,
have been found by Prof. H. H.
Ninninger of Mcpherson college,

here in canyon running into Oak
creek. Some of the tracks measure
more than six inches in diameter,
and the limestone in which they
were found was overlaid by more
than 100 feet of sedimentary ma
terial of the Pleistocene period.
Professor Ninninger remarked
that the tracks were as plain as
though they had been made vest
erday.
He has been exploring in this
district for two weeks. Informa-
tion given him by residents en-
abled him to make the find. His
party left to chisel out as many
