CRUDE SPEAR FOUND ON PEAK Colorado Springs, Colo. — (U.R) — j A crude spear, or lance, left per j haps by Coronado s men, who! sought fabled cities of gold in the . west long before the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock, was unearthed by workers digging on the new north slope development of Pikes ; Peak. j; Crudely hammered out by hand. I the weapon appeared to be a relic ' of the sixteenth or seventeenth ’ cejitury. Cowan C. Eastham. assistant city . engineer, believes it may have;' been hurled, or cast aside, by one I of the band of intrepid Spanish ex-1 plorers who, under the leadership '' of Francisco Vasques de Coronado. ' headed northward in the 1540’s 1 from Mexico in search of the prec- ' ions yellow metal. The first person, other than Am- 1 erican Indians, known to have seen I Pike's Peak was Lieut. Zebulon Montgomery Pike, who in 1908, led j 20 soldiers on an exploration of 1 the Louisiana purchase. Historians doubt, however, that the weap- < on could have been left by a member of his baud because he kept I an accurate record of where he i went. He did not succeed in climb- • ing the mountain, the winter snows t preventing an ascent at that time. I They believe it more likely that . stragglers or deserters from Coro- .

OLD CYPRESS FOREST FOUND Maashington.—(U.R)—Remains of an Ice-age cypfess forest have been unearthed near Annapolis, Md., by Dr. Charles T. Berry, Johns Hopkins University paleontologist. Seeds believed to Indicate the type of vegetation, which covered this section of the country from 25,000 to 100,000 years ago, also were discovered by Dr. Berry. Waves cutting into the face of Greenbury Point were responsible for Dr. Berry’s discovery. The forest is directly across the Seven River from Annapolis. The swamp consisted chiefly of bald cypress trees, believed to have flourished in Pleistocene days. It apparently filled a deep valley through which ran two ancient streams from one to three feet deep and several feet wide. At the extreme end of the Point, and exposed only at low tide, are approximately 25 cypress stumps from two to six or more feet in diameter. At the cliff's base is a five-foot bed of black clay, in the lower portion of which, roots and knees of stumps are so interwoven they sometimes form a solid wooden floor. Dr. Berry was able to identify several species of ice-age vegetation from seeds gathered in the
