MONDAY MORNING. JANUARY 29, 1934. PART II. 5 QUIZ SLATED ON USURPING DID PEOPLE LIVE UNDER SITE OF LOS ANGELES 5000 YEARS AGO? An amazing labyrinth of underground passages and caverns hundreds of feet below the surface of Fort Moore Hill is revealed in maps all rights to which have been reservedprepared by O. Warren Shufelt, local mining engineer, who explains his topographical endeavors as being based on result obtained from a radio X-ray perfected by him.

In this elaborate system of tunnels and rooms, according to a legend furnished Shufelt by an Indian authority, a tribe of human beings called the Lizard People, lived, 8000 years ago. The network of tunnels formed what Indians call the lost Lizard City, according to Shufelt and the legend. Gold tablets on which an written the origin of the human race and other priceless document are to be found in the tunnels, according to the legend. Shufelt declares his radio X-ray has located the gold. The engineer has dug a shaft 250 feet deep on North Hill street, overlooking North Broadway, Sunset and Spring street, and intends to dig to 1000 feet in an effort to strike the lost city.

TABLETS PHOTOGRAPHED Shufelt stated he has taken "X-ray pictures" of thirty-seven such tablets, three of which have their southwest corners cut off. "My radio X-ray pictures of tunnels and rooms, which are subsurface voids, and of gold pictures with perfect corners, sides and ends, are scientific proof of their existence," Shufelt said. "However, the legendary story must remain speculative until unearthed by excavation." The Lizard People, according to Macklln, were of a much higher type intellectually than modern human beings. The intellectual accomplishments of their 9-year-old Children were the equal of those of present day college graduates, he said. So greatly advanced scientifically were these people that, in addition to perfecting a chemical solution by which they bored underground without removing earth and rock, they also developed a cement far stronger and better than any in use in modern times with which they lined their tunnels and rooms.

KILLS INCLOSE CITY Macklln said legendary advice to American Indians was to seek the lost city in an area within a chain of hills forming "the frog of a horse's hoot." The contour of hills surrounding this region forms such a design, substantiating Shufelt's findings, he said. Shufelt's radio device consists chiefly of a cylindrical glass case inside which a plummet attached to a copper wire held by the engineer sways continually, pointing, he asserts, toward minerals or tunnels below the surface of the ground, and then revolves when over the mineral earth. yard CITY LAID OUT LIKE LIZARD The Lizard People, the legend has it, regarded the lizard as the symbol of long life.
