Doctor Finds Ancient Tribe In Colorado
Several Mummies Of Eight-Footers Taken From Caves
Los Angeles, Aug. 4 – A retired Ohio doctor has discovered relics of an ancient civilization, whose men were eight or nine feet tall, in the Colorado desert near the Arizona-Nevada-California line, an associate said today.
Howard E. Hill of Los Angeles, speaking before the Transportation Club, disclosed that several well-preserved mummies were taken Sunday from caverns in an area roughly 180 miles square extending through much of Southern Nevada from Death Valley, Calif., across the Colorado River into Arizona.
Hill said the discoverer is Dr. F. Bruce Russell, retired Cincinnati physician, who came across the first of several tunnels in 1931, shortly after coming West and developing an interest in the prehistoric ruins of the Southwest.

Relics of Prehistoric Giants Found in Desert of Nevada
Los Angeles, Calif. – (P) – A retired Ohio doctor has discovered relics of an ancient civilization, whose men were eight or nine feet tall, in the Colorado desert near the Arizona-Nevada-California line, an associate said Monday.
Howard E. Hill of Los Angeles, speaking before the Transportation club, disclosed that several well-preserved mummies were taken Sunday from caverns in an area roughly 180 miles square extending through much of southern Nevada from Death Valley, Calif., across the Colorado river into Arizona.
Hill said the discoverer is Dr. F. Bruce Russell, retired Cincinnati physician, who came across the first of several tunnels in 1931, shortly after coming west to try mining for his health.
Hill said that in another cavern was found the ritual hall of the ancient people, together with devices and markings similar to those now used by the Masonic order. In a long tunnel were well-preserved remains of animals, including elephants and tigers. So far, Hill added, no women had been found.
He said the explorers believed that what they found was the burial place of the tribe’s hierarchy. Hieroglyphics, he added, bear a resemblance to what is known of those from the lost continent of Atlantis. They are chiseled, he added, on carefully polished granite.
Not until this year, however, did Dr. Russell go into the situation thoroughly, Hill told the luncheon. He said Dr. Viola V. Pettit of London, who made excavations around Petra, on the Arabian desert, shortly will begin an inspection of the remains.
