An authentic fossil tusk of the glacial or post-glacial peri cd, with gold filings like a modern tooth, has been pre- sented to the museum of the University of Washington by Edward Squires, who discover ed it while mining on Domin- ion Creek, 40 miles from Daw- son, Yukon Territory. The tusk is ten feet long and weighs 250~pounds. The theory of Nathan Kresge, museum caretaker and former Alaskan, is that the relic was there when tons of earth with the paystreak settled down, so that the gold nuggets were forced into the cracks of the tusk, giving the effect of mod ern gold tooth filings.
