Fairbanks News-Miner)

Taking advantage of the huge OK cavations being made along milei of gold bearing creeks in the vi einity of Fairbanks, scientists art reaping a veritable harvest in theil quest for skeleton remains of ex tinet species of animals which once roamed the hills and wales of thls region.
 The operations of the Fairbanks Exploration Department Of [ Il { United States Smelling. Refining and Mining Company being con ducted in this area at the cost ol millions of dollars, and entailine the washing away of millions oi cubic yards of silts and muck, and the turning over of a vast yardage of alluYial grayels, riyaling if not exceeding in volume the excaya- tions of Panama Canal, are reveal ing. the graYeyards of hundreds of the ancient beasts.
 Digging into the frozen earth and grayels to a depth of 50 to 199 feet, and sometimes nearly twice that depth. the mining company has been turning up for years numerous bones and specimens of fossil ivory of the mammoth and sometimes the mastodon Skulls and other bones of the Pleistoeene horse which was quite common in the Yukon valley-and remains of other anfma Ia ara often fOund
 Here Ages Ago
 Some of the creatures whose re- mains are now brought to light by the hydraulic giant and the gold dredges are estimated to have lived here some 20,0O0 to 50,000 years ago. The m ost perfect fossil speci- mems are revealed by the hydraulic operations, and are found chiefly in the muck, or combination of frozen silt and water.
 The most interesting diseoyeries have been made on Cleary, Gold Stream and Ester creeks-where millions of dollars in gold have been recovered by the miners.
 While Dr. W. Clancy, palaeon- tologist of the University of Cali fornia was here several days ago, an especially fine mammoth head was found on Cleary. Later a skull with two tusks and the upper teeth were found.
 During the season many other bones have been found on upper Cleary. opposite the mouth of Cha than Creek. Roy ". Earling. gen. eral manager of the Fairbanks Ex- ploration Department, who extends every courtesy to the scientific in vestigators here from various insIi- tutions, including the University of Alaska, says there appears to be a veritable bone yard opposite the mouth of Chatham. In addition to mammoth remains there are also others, especially skulls, of the bi- son and pleistocene horse.
 Scientists Interested
 Among those from distance who have been particularly inter- ested in the finds are Dr. Chaney,

Dr Erich Maren Schaikyer, instrue- tor in geology and palaeontology at Brooklyn College. head of the Am. erican Museum of Natural History, who arrived here recently on tour of Alaska. and pr. s. R. Capps and Dr. Ralph Tuck, U. s. Govern ment geologists, now here.
 Special interest has been taken in the mastodon head found last week on Ester Creek. The cranial bones are all perfectly solid and the tusks are joined firmly to the skull
 Hair on Hoof
 The leg bones and foot of a horse of the Pleistocene period were recently found at Goldstream. The leg is wonderfully preserved and the skin is intact and tightly stretched over the bones and des- sicated tendons of the flesh. Some few tufts of black hair still adhere to the skin around the hoof ane fetlock.
 Both finds were made by the Fairbanks Exploration Department and have been presented to John B. Dorsh at the University of Alaska who collects specimens for the Am eriean Museum of Natural History with the cooperation of the Uni yersity of Alaska.
 Alaska Never Tropical
 Alaska was never tropical. ]" said pr. R. ". Clancy, who was here last week making studies in Alaska under the auspices of the Carnegie Institute of Washington, D. c.
 "The climate here today is es- sentially no different than it was millions of years ago. In my opin- ion, all discoveries of fissil remains made in the North bear out my opinion. N No proof has ever been founf Of evidences of tropical life in AL aska. Supposed discoveries of water buffalo remains have never been proven. I believe they are merels bison, which are not tropical anl- mals.
 "Remains of mammoths do not in any way prove that this was a tropical country. Mammoths had furry hides. Such animals have been found preserved in glaciers. That fact alone shows that they lived in glacial districts.
 With the coming of man the bison and elephant, as well as the rhinoceros, all animals which once roamed throughout the world, be- anne extinct in most places, and restricted to districts where there are very few humans.
 tThe finding of remains of carl Dou nd rodents. thousands f years old, in Alaska are similar to those seen here today Fossil re- mains of mosses, daisies, and vii low, show that prehistoric plants were exactly like those that bloom here every season now.

repeatedly warned that such a result

Strife Torn Ohio Town to

PORTSMOUTH, Ohio, July g.
With a tentative agreement" for
settlement rejected, the 6-weeks-old,
violence-marked strike affecting $500
workers at the giant new Boston plant
of the Wheeling Steel Corp. resumed
full force today.
Union officials pushed simultan-
eously to make Portsmouth the spear
head in the organization drive of the
steel industry.
John Harris, secretary of the Joint
Strike Committee of the Amalgamated
Association of Iron, Steel and Tin
Workers, announced early today rejec-
ton of the agreement reached in
Pittsburgh Monday night between a
mediator and an Amalgamated negoti-
ating committee. The action came
after a series of secret mass meetings
lasting all night and attended, Har-
ris said, by at least 5000 men.
Center Efforts In Portsmouth.
From now on" Harris told the
Associated Press, Portsmouth will be
drive of the steel industry. We have
adopted the slogan, AS goes Ports
mouth, so goes the industry We
are determined to see this to a f1n-
1sh.''
Harris predicted efforts to end the
strike would be resumed "as soon
as possible" but declared en-
phatically:
I'VE want a settlement, but it must
be an honorable settlement. There
has been no settlement and the strike
Is still on"
He listed the workers reasons for
rejecting the agreement, which pro-
vided for immediate resumption Of
operations" as:

unable to deal with the company di-
rectly, as we desired, but only through

consider a settlement which involved
discrimination against any members"
CThis referred TO the company's re-
fusal under the tentative agreement
to permit five strikers to return to
their jobs. These five, the company
asserted, were leaders in a series of
violent acts eliminating in the fatal
June % riot.)
They also refused" he continued,
s'to countenance the company charge
that the Joint Strike Committee had
any onnection with the killing of the
