PART OF THE REMAINS OF
A GIANT MASTADON FOUND
IN CANYON EAST OF ROY
Encarnación Lucero came to
town last Thursday evening with
the tooth of a giant mastadon
which his son Vivian had found
in the Sabino canyon about 17
miles northeast of Roy. . .Young
Lucera was walking along, the
banks of the Sabino lasí Wednes
day noting the damage that had
teen; done by the. recent, flood
in that vicinity when accident
y noticed something resembling
a giant tusk protruding from
the gravel bank which had been
partly washed away hy the re
cent flood v. After careful inves
tigation he found it to be a tusk
f a huge matitadon, and with the
assistance of some neighbor boys
he tunneled into the bank and
was successful in removing the
tusk,, or rather a part of it, as
f 3 the complete remains were
,roken up during the process of
x nearthing them . He also found
i mammoth teeth that weigh-
c .1 about twelve pounds each and
ere about eight by five inches,
i size . Portions of the skull of
t ie huge animal were also un
c irthed but the complete recov
ery of the remains was made im
Í ossible owing to the caving in
cf the bank.
The tusk partly decayed is 10
Í3et and four inches long anda
! out nine inches in diameter at
the largest place. It appears that
a portion of the outer covering
( f the tusk has decayed or re
l ioved From the curvature of the
tusk one would árrive at the
conclusion that the full length
will measure over fifteen feet
vhen it is finally unearthed, The
remains were found on a lime
ctone cliff covered by several
feet of gravel, sand and dirt. In
order to remove the balance of
the skeleton it will be necessary
í to move several hundred tons of
dirt and it wil cost a great dóal
of money to make complete exca
vations' The Smithsonian Insti
tute has been notified of the dis
covery.. From the surroundings, about
it would appear that the balance
of the skeleton lies on the bed
rock cliff under the large depos-
: its of gravel and it will take sev
jeral days to make a full invest
ligation. A number of Roy people went
out to Sabino Saturday morning
and looked over the situation and
also took several pictures of the
find. The boys in digging out
the remains used a pick and by
so doing broke the tusk in sever
al places A portion of it Í3 now
at the Omefiashome and the bal
anco at the Lucero place near the
scene of the discovery. The disco
very was made a few hundred
feci east of the Sabino school
house on the south bank cf the
creek and the email end of the
tusk was washed from the bluff
I by the flood of two weeks' ago.
The Mastadon was a species of
the elephant and is now extinct .
Fossil remains occur in America
as late as the Post-Pliocene per-
iiod. The mastadon closely re
sembled existing species of elep
hants differing with them main
ly in the formation of the teeth .
They had .a vaulted and cellular I
skull, large ' tusks and a heavy i
íorm. Skeletons found m vari
ous portions of North America
indicate they were about twelve
feet high and from eighteen to
twenty feet long, with tusks that
ranged from eight to ten feet
in length..
From the portions of the fossil
discovered at Sabino creek it ap
pears that the one discovered
there is probably among the lar
gest ever found in America.
It is probable that a collection
will be taken -up and men and
teams hired to scrape away the
bank in order to determine if the
complete skeletton cannot be un
earthed under the bank beyond
where the present tunnel has
been made .
Mr and Mrs Young Fan, for
mer residents of Walsenburg,
Colo, and well known in this co
mmunity, but now are residing
at Long Beach, California, have
visited with Mr and Mrs Henry
Farr of east of Roy the past few
days. Mr Young Farr is a bro
ther of Henry, and he 'intends to
spend a few weeks in New Mexi

ing advantage of our climate be
