SAN FRANCISCO. Cal., Oct. 19—Dr. J. P. Frizell, who has arrived here from the north, says in an interview:
    “I don’t wish to make myself ridiculous to the scientitic world by stating as at fact that at least one living specimen of the mammoth family is still roaming at large on the American side of the Arctic regions. However, I saw with my own eyes comparatively fresh tracts that apparently could not have been made by any other animal but a mammoth. I ran across the animal’s tracks in the island of Unimak, which is 125 miles around and twenty-five miles in width. It is about four miles from the mainland, and animals can walk back and forth from land.” Dr. Frizell is in the Government’s employ, and has been in the Arctic regions for several years.
    “The tracks could be distinctly seen in the ice and snow, and I followed them for quite a distance.” the doctor added. “They sank four inches deep into the frozen ground, and were four feet apart, showing that distance to be the stride of the animal. The size of the tracks were nineteen by twenty inches. In each track were the distinct impressions of eighteen toes. I ran across these animal tracks in the country between Mount Pomgromni and Mount Scheshchaid.
    “Unimak fairly teems with animal life, and particularly with game. It is a hunter’s paradise for caribou, bear, and the red fox. The cinnamon variety of bear there is large, but an animal of that kind couldn’t have made the tracks which I and the members of my party ran across. The tracks were so large and almost circular in form that a large bucket turned down over one of them would just about have covered it.”
