"Land of the Pygmy Indians"
Writer: Carl  Barks
Artist/Colorist: Carl Barks
Letterer: Carl Barks

Uncle $crooge, Donald, and the nephews head to a plot of land north of Lake  Superior that $crooge has recently purchased. The land is supposed to be  inhabited only by moose and other ordinary wildlife. The ducks are surprised to  find a tribe of pygmy Indians called the Peeweegahs. The Peeweegahs require them  to prove their worthiness by fishing for the amazing King Sturgeon. During their  adventure, Uncle $crooge finds lithium, selenium, thorium, and other "rare  earths" including the fictitious oxide of strombolium. Note that $scrooge's  qualitative analytical skills are so formidable that he identifies elements just  by looking at them.
