course Of treatment soon brought to light els ven
Of the twelve gold pieces, but the twelfth re-
manned obsiinately hidden. An abscess forming
IN the larynx, its whereabouts was revealed in
somewhat dangerous fashion. All efforts for its
removal proved fruitless and total extinction

attack Of coughing, the ab=cess broke, and the

INDIAN MOUNDS YIELDING THEIR TREASURES
From the Palatka Herald. Goth ult1

Last night, as were putting our fruitful
sheet to press, we were startled by the appear
auce Of Mr.. Alexander Nermus, gentleman liv-
ing on Dunds Lake, who excited our attention
by his extraordinary nervous and pale appear
ance, and who held within his hands specimens
OF what appe AIRED to be crvstazed copper. He
held the " forth to us, asking if we knew what
they were, and then related the following seem
mgly lncredulous story
Il have tract of about one hundred acres of
!and. upon which there are several Indian mounds.
For some weeks past with the assistance of three
men, have been clearing portion Of this land
with a view towards planting orange trees. This
morning one of my colored men while clearing
away brush from one Of these mounds struck
upon some hard substance that seemed to give a
light ba * and called to me to come and see it,
at once discovered what l think is a rich gold
aud copper quartz rock Upon digging deeper
my other men and opened the mound,
finding the remains of what seemed
to be Indians, but from their great
length of bones, and peculiarly shaped faces |
should think belong to a tribe not in the memory
OF man. One skeleton in particular struck me
to be remarkable for length and size Of bone 1t
was at least nine feet in length, and the knee
joints are about seventeen inches in circumfer-
ehce. In the cave or mound | also found pecu- !
LARRY shaped b mes and arrows the heads of the
arrows having been set with substance resem- |
bllnS the nlcfel OF our present day, hut time had
SO corroded these arrow-heads that | can not tell |
OF what nature of metal they are.
There were some other things found in this
mound which YOU Will pardon me il [ do not at
present reveal, but was al Xious that YOU should
gee these quartz specimens. [ do not believe
hey were formed since the building of this
mound, my opinion Is, that in the building of the
mound they were thrown up and unnotced bv
he tribe. Twill give You fur her information
when have time for further research"
Here Is your chance now, all OF you who have
hdian mounds upon our places, to find hidden
reasures. There an old tradition among
he Senljnoles that Florida had been al one time
Inhabited by civilized or semi-civized race. and
hat they were mostly artisans, although great ,
war, and that they had anassed great treas >
res which were always buried with them We j.
o not feel at liberty to give Mr.. Nermu5s state
tent in full, but we do wish that we had 4 few I
ldlan mounds to open.
