Skulls Are of White Men.
Victoria, British Columbia (By Cable).
Advices from Quatsino report that an
investigation of the cave discovered near
there by prospectors, in which 35 skulls
were found, tends to show that the bones
are evidently those of white men-—not
Indians. None of the skulls has the
high cheek bones peculiar to Indians of
that section of the coust. Settlers in the
vicinity believe the skulls are probably
those of a shipwrecked crew murdered
by the Indians in the early days.
