FIND BONES OF DWARF RACE

Squaw Creek Mesa Near Grand Canyon Burial Place of Ancient Tribe. Prescott, Ariz.—That the Squaw creek mesa, 45 miles east of* Grand canyon, was the burial ground of an ■ancient tribe of dwarfs, is the opinion of 11. L. Loomis, prospector, who says he recently uncovered portions of 19 skeb'!..r,s there. ~ In the old graves the prospector found a cupful of 'tuquoise and small pieces ’of ancient pottery, some of which have been sent to the University of Arizona and the remainder to the Smithsonian Institution. All the bones found were those of a diminutive-race, Loomis said.
