the great find while prospecting for fossils ninety miles northwest of Laramie, Wyo., last 

 August. On account of a large amount of work on hand when this giant was discovered 

 the party in the field were compelled to let it remain in its natural bed during the winter. 

 Some of the prominent bones were uncovered and sufficient data secured to warrant one 

 in believing that it represents the largest Dinosaur ever discovered. Work on excavating 

 for the remains will be resumed in early spring, and by fall the skeleton will be removed 

 to the University, where it will be restored and placed upon exhibition as soon as the 

 new museum is finished to receive it. 



In comparison to a mammoth, this animal was in size as a horse is to a dog. In the 

 known fossil world there is but one creature that can serve in an approximate comparison with 

 it, and this would be only as a child beside it. Prof. O. C. Marsh's famous Brontosaur at 

 the Yale Museum at New Haven is its only animal criterion of measurement. This was a 

 creature of its own time and kind, a fellow creature in Wyoming, where for millions of years 

 they had slept together in the same graveyard, to be finally resurrected by the same ghoul 

 of science Mr. Reed. The skeleton at Yale was restored in 1891 by Professor Marsh. 

 Fortunately this animal died alone, and in consequence seven-tenths of the skeleton was 

 found in place. Beside this monster the largest Dinosaurs of Europe, and, indeed, the 

 world, have remained since its discovery as only pygmies, and geological students, for 

 years, have made pilgrimages to New Haven to study and to marvel at its immense 

 skeleton. 



This monster is believed to have been about seventy feet in length, and in life to have 

 weighed perhaps 80,000 pounds, the new discovery eclipsing it in this respect by probably 

 more than 50,000 pounds. This animal was perhaps twenty-five feet at the hips, and sixteen
