Remains of Eight Giants, All Nearly Seven Feet Tall, Unearthed Near San Francisco.

Contractors employed in government construction work on Goat Island, San Francisco, have unearthed eight skeletons. It is a mystery how they came there and there are several wild stories afloat. One is that Goat Island, which is now a government reserve, was the haunt of pirates, and that much buried treasure is hidden on the island.

Another is that the island was used by the Spaniards in early days as a burying ground. Several attempts have been made to locate the hidden treasure, but without success. The skeletons unearthed are of enormous proportions, few being less than six feet six inches long.
