602 KANSAS CITY REVIEW OF SCIENCE. 
Walla Walla to outfit, and with two assistants, went to Pine creek, where I met 
Mr. Copeland who had made large collections of remains of the Hairy Mammoth. 
He had felt a large skull in a spring on his farm, and with grappling irons hauled 
it to the surface. It proved a perfect specimen and excited his desire to obtain 
more. He therefore hired a number of men and proceeded to drain and dig out 
the spring. He first went through a bed of peat, then of clay and found a great 
many bones in a bed of gravel below, about twelve feet from the surface. He 
obtained a large collection of mammoth bones, as well as those of the bison and 
smaller animals. Mingled with the bones were pieces of charred wood. I dis- 
covered a spring near the head of Pine creek that promised well, as I could feel 
bones with a long pole. It was 100 yards from the creek and on about the same 
level. I first dug a ditch from the spring to the creek, which lowered the water 
about three feet. Then we dug down on the margin of the spring, through a bed 
of peat five feet in thickness, and through five feet of clay, hauling up the soft 
mud and water with buckets. Every night the hole we ma@e during the day was 
filled with water and it had to be bailed out in the morning. At last we found 
the bed of gravel, with numerous bones lying on and throughit. But, unfortun- 
ately, they did not belong to the mammoth, but to the North American bison, deer 
and other small animals of existing species. | One interesting fact was, we found 
flint arrow heads and an instrument of bone mingled with the bones. ‘This fact 
taken alone would only prove that man existed with the common bison. But 
taken in coniection with Mr. Copeland’s discoveries, it would prove that both 
man and the bison were contemporary with the mammoth, as man’s implements 
associated with remains of the bison, were found under the same circumstances 
and vicinity with Mr. Copeland’s specimens. Another proof of the great age of 
the bison is from the fact that its remains are found in various parts of Washington 
Territory and Oregon in beds of gravel, under twelve feet of lava. Hence, I sup- 
pose that if man, the mammoth and bison were contemporary, they were doubt- 
less destroyed by an outflow of lava that covered most of eastern Washington 
Territory and Oregon.

ORIENTAL RESEMBLANCES IN NEW MEXICO.

But there is to be seen here in New Mexico the impress of a civilization (the 
Arabic) older than that of Europe, older than that of Ancient Rome. And there 
are some grounds for believing that the ancient Pueblo civilization which the 
Spanish conquerors found here, and to a great extent displaced, is, if not the
