A GIANT SKELETON DISCOVERED IN CAYUGA COUNTY, NEW YORK
      A Giant Skeleton - John White, while excavating with a party in Scipio, on Tuesday, exhumed the bones of two Indians.  The location of the find is on the farm of E. P. Hoskins, Indian Fields Road. The skeletons when first discovered were entire, and in a sitting position.
    Much care was taken in digging around them, to preserve them intact; but they fell apart in removal.  One of the skeletons was that of a giant, measuring three feet across the hips and eight feet in stature. Its lower jaw bone was of immense proportion and would easily span the head of any of the parties engaged in the discovery.  A number of trinkets usually accompanying the Indian remains were found with the bones

Burial Place of Giants is Uncovered by Rains
    Douglas, Arizona, Nov. 25 - Recent heavy rains in the vicinity of Reddington, near here, have uncovered the burial grounds of a race of giant people who are thought to have lived thousands of years ago, according to August Enley, a miner, who has been employed in the Reddington district.
   Ealey described parts of skeletons recovered from the cemetery and declared that the stature of the race must have been twice that of the average man today.  One skull showed a thickness of about one inch.  Ali said, and was in a state of perfect preservation.  Pieces of pottery, ear-rings, remains of charcoal fires and other evidences uncovered by the rains has led Ealey to report the discovery to the state university with the hope that a more intimate investigation would be made of the burial ground.

SKELETONS OF GIANTS IN ALASKA

Ancient Cemetery Uncovered in the Atlin Gold District.

Special Dispatch to The Call. VANCOUVER, Nov. 17.—James L. Perkinson, an American miner of Atlin, arrived here today with news of the finding of a number of skeletons in an ancient Indian cemetery in the north, which is of startling scientific interest.

Perkinson is one of the owners of the Yellow Jacket, a rich claim . Which Is supposed to be the fountainhead of Pine, the principal creek in Atlin district. Two weeks ago the first excavations were being made for a new tunnel and what appears to have been an old Indian
burying ground was opened up.

Five skeletons, nearly complete, were exhumed and each is the set of bones that belonged to a giant of prehistoric times. One of the skeletons measure over seven feet in length, so that the man must have been considerably over that height. Then there were two others of within an inch of seven feet and the remaining two were more than six feet in length and the men were of gigantic frame.
The altitude is high and the ground was half frozen, s0 that the bones were preserved almost intact Perkinson says that .he expects if they had kept on digging they would have found many more, as these were lying comparatively close together.
The bones of the fingers and toes had crumbled away, but the linger of one skeletal hand was sufficiently  strong to hold a ring of what appears to be lead or some similar base, metal. The skeletons were unusually well formed, but one unique feature was that the arms were several inches shorter than ordinarily appears, while the size of the bones of the forearm was enormous in comparison to the usual models, Beside two of the skeletons were spears, rudely shaped with a soft metal and pointed with sharp stones. The spears were only about three feet long and five’ Inches thick at the top. tapering at the lower end. The top contained a socket into which a wooden shaft was probably placed, in order to wield the big piece of metal. Other pieces of stone and carved metal were found.. The general physical appearance of the  skeletons, according to the cursory examination of the miners, was similar to that of the-Indians of the present day. They were certainly of the flathead type of tribes. That the burying place Is of.ancient origin’ Is evidenced by the fact that the Indians say none of their tribesmen have lived within fifty miles of this place as far back as stories have been handed down. There are several mounds, presumably made by the Indian’s in the vicinity of the new mine tunnel ,now being extended
