THE MASTODON
In many sections of Alaska there are
found in great quantities tusks of the
mammoth and tl e mastodon. It is no

ding stores of all sections of this vast
terriory.Often they are found half hur

what is now a frigid land. It was then
a country of a different climate,for the
gre it coal fields of,even, the extreme

breeze of what is now an icelocked 1 and.
Once great palms shaded animal life

Once tropical or semi-tropical fruits
grew and ripened under a sunny azure
sky. Long,long ago,birds of gorgeors
hue flittered among the branches,
sipped nectar from the flowers, and rest
ed in the branches of great trees, growing
where now is boggy tundra with frost
just ‘neath the suface laughing at our
summer sun. The more we write the
more we ponder of that age no kin to this.
