the Indian mounds and former

stalled a museum which aroused
Interest of tho natives and enabled
him to add valuable articles.

which save one he found In Ten

"itellcs which we aro unable to

explained.
A valuable specimen of tho col
lection Is a btrdstonn ornament
with pearl eyes, one of the six
known to be in existence. . A. charm
he recovered was fashioned to set
in the fields by the Indians to
contain grain as an omen to the
gods to bring good crops.
Specimens of arrow heads and
spearheuds, some with tho famous
curved points, beuuttful ornaments
of roe-colored quart, pre-historlc
tools. Images, carved shells, beads'
and many other valuable speci
mens, recovered from mounds and
graves also are included in tho col
lection.
'I have seventy-five cents Mess
