The remains are supposed to be those of one of two men who set out from the Serpentine thirteen years ago to a place called Moke Creek, their object being to bring *t cradle from that place to Serpentine, which had just been rushed. There being a large quantity of snow on the ground, tie men lost themselves, and separated. The survivor, after wandering about for a long time, had just given up hope, from sheer exliaustion, when the tinkling of a bell caught his ear, and, going in the direction of the round, he found a dray cawiped which wns the means of pres rving ids life' He thereupon gave information as to the Btate in which he bad left his ompaniou and stated as best he could the direction ir. which he believed him to be. Notwith standing that the strictest search was made nothing whatever of the man could be dis ■ covered, although some of his tracks were stumbled upon The missing man was known to have lost two of his front teeth and it is said that the head of the skeleton lound at the Serpentine corresponds to that et the lost man in this particular.-.'
