Prehistoric Beast Like A Dinosaur.

Cordova, Alaska, Nov. 27. The entire scientific world was amazed to-day by the confirmation of reports of the discovery of a

huge prehistoric animal in the Arctic regions.

Mr. W. J. McDonald, superinten- dent of the Chungacha National

Forest, and six others, confirmed reports that they have found n prehistoric beast, 24 feet long, frozen in a glacier near Valdez.

Mr. McDonald said the beast he and his colleagues had discovered resembles a mammoth lizard. was larger than a dinosaur.

It

and

The beast had a long tail a tapering head, and much flesh still clings to the skeleton. It is estimated that, when alive, tho animal weighed approximately 1,000 pounds.

Following the confirmation of the reports of Mr. McDonald's dis- covery the scientific world express- ed astonishment, because animals of the type described by the forest superintendent had over been known to exist in Arctic regions.

Moreover, dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals of that class are supposed to have lived several millions of years before the Ice age.
