MASTEDON TUSK
IS UNEARTHED
NEAR LAS VEGAS
McWiIIiams Party Discovers
Huge Prehistoric Bone in
Glacial Formation Within
20 Miles of This City.
By JACK MITCHELL


Partial discovery of the huge
remains of a mastodOn was
made Sunday about 20 miles
Northwest of the city on the
cd TOncpah road by party
under the leadership of COun-
~ Surveyor ]. 7. McWiniams.
Several weeks ago Mr.. McWn-
liams and Steve Bostwick dis
covered Osseous indications in
q deposit of glacial silt.
The party Sunday was organized
to follow the indicative ossicles and
af5er more than two hours OF
strenuous labor, came upon the
point Of a tusk, Further work re-
yeaIed a huge member feet 9
inches in length. and even then on
account of the almost flint-like
hardness of the sit, the whole OF
the mastodonic weapon was not
uncovered.
Engineers present in the COM
pany believe the skull, and possibly
the whole remains of the ancient
beast. to be buried eight or ten
fee. into the glacial embankment
For the purpose of further investi-
CATION a party is being organized
by Hugh Shamberger, E. B. Land
fair, and Mr.. McWilliams to
blast the deposit next Sunday. 1t
is thought that discoveries of vast
astrological import will be the
result.
Sometime ago, Mr.. McWilliams
ana Mr.. Bostwick unearthed two
huge teeth at the approximate 10
eaten in which work was started
Sunday. Scientists were SO inter-
es.ed in these that they are now
III the scientific museum of Yale
University.
According to the engineers of
the party, the indications show
that this portion of the state Is
among the youngest componentS of
the microcosm, and it is expected
that other finds Of great archeo-
logical import will be uneatherd at
various points.
Tho benefit of the discovery in
such close proximity to Las Vegas
cannot be ver-estimated, accord
ing to Mr.. McWilliams, who visu-
alizes the attraction of large
scientific parties and tourist COM
papies to the fields in the near
future.
Nlells Of various kinds, abound
ing in this vicinity, give evidence
either that the land was once
ocean bottom, or that these crus-
tacaous deposits were carried south
ward by the great glacier which
is thought by scientists to have
passed over the western plart OF
the county in ages long gone, ac-
ccgding to the investigators.
After an excellent lunch prepar-
ed by Mrs. McWililans, and Serv-
cd by Mrs. Landfair, the party re-
turned to the city with "paleozoic"
trophies which may be seen at the
offices of Shamberger and Ian
fair in the Arcade block.
The expedition was composed OF
the fO'a wings persons: County
Surveyor j. T. McWilliams, Mrs
NlcWilliams, E. b. Lanfair, c. E
Shamberger and wife, Steve Bost-
wicl-, A. M. Sherwin, Bob Lam
fair, jr., Fred Eyeritt, Clarence
Burgess and Jack Mitchell.

PLEA FOR F|REMEN
HIT BY SIMMONS
Chairman Criticizes Request
for More Men, Saying City
Is Above Quota.

The plans of Fire Chief George S.
Watson to increase the personnel of the
fire department in advance of the con-
struction of new f1rehouses were criti-
cized by Chairman Simmons in con-
nection with a request for an increas-
ed appropriation to provide for an ad-
ditional captain, lieutenant, sergeant
and Is privateS were disclosed in the
hearings mace public today.
Chairman Simmons pointed out that
Congress provided for a number of ad-
ditional firemen last year for the new
engine house, to be located on upper
Sixteenth street, and that these men
had been assigned to various companies
pending the erection of that building,
which has been delayed by litigation
in the courts.
purpose, Chairman Simmons said,
which has given the fire department
a surplus of 10 men. Simmons then
cited recent report of the Bureau of
Efficiency which showed that the per
capita number of firemen for Wash
ington exceeds the per capita number
of New York. Chicago, Philadelphia,
Detroit, Cleveland, st. Louis, Pittsburgh,
Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Cincinnati,
Kansas City and Toledo.
Regardless of this report, Watson
said in reply, Washingtons fire engine
companies have barely sufficient
number of men on duty to run the
service.
Il am always anxious and I am al
ways trying to get an addition to that
force" Watson said II believe I am
fully justified in asking you to counten-
ance this addition to the number, be-
cause until that house is built I will
be able to give that much better serv-
ice because we have those additional
men. You will find if you inquire of
the highest authority on fire work,
which is the, National Board of Under
writer's, that at the present time, even
though we may be regarded as having
more men than certain other cities,
We are undermined or have less than
they think we should have"
