FIND MASTODON ON ICE. 



Huge Monster, Preserved Intact, Will 

 Be Exhibited at the Great Yukon 

 Exposition — A Perfect Specimen. 



Seattle, Wash., April 6. — When 

 warm weather comes again a party 



of men with well-developed domes 

 of thought is going to take out of 

 cold storage the largest and the old- 

 est piece of meat ever preserved in 

 this manner. They will be strength- 

 ened for their work by roasts from 

 this wonderful bit of cold storage 

 preservation and will bring back to 

 civilization enough to prove the al- 

 most unbelievable stories they will 

 tell. 



The particular piece of meat, which 

 is to be taken out of cold storage 

 shortly, after the robins nest again, is 

 a mastodon, which was discovered 

 incased in ice in the Cleary Creek 

 region of Alaska late last summer. 

 The proposition Is to induce this 

 monster to yield up its hide, hair and 

 bones for exhibition at the Alaskan- 

 Yukon-Pacific Exposition, to be held 

 at Seattle, Wash., year after next. 



The flesh will be eaten, as it is not 

 considered practical to preserve it 

 with embalming fluid by the process 

 practiced during the late unpleasant- 

 ness with Spain in the case of roast 

 beef prepared for the fighting men. 

 Will Look as Alive. 



Skeletons of the mastodon have 

 been reconstructed from scattered 

 bcnes and exhibited at former fairs, 

 but no expO'Sition has had the big 

 beast just as he looked when alive. 



The Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposi- 

 tion will be held prim^arily for the 

 exploitation of Alaska. 



Late last summer, while President 

 J. E. Chilberg of the exposition was 

 at Nome word was brought in that 

 a complete specimen of a mammoth 

 incased in ice had been discoveded 

 by W. E. Thomas on Cleary Creek.
