From the Mssou,1 Republican.
Mr.. A. j. Conant, the artist, returned
recently from the Ozark Mountains, where he
caves on tho Gasconade and tributary streams,
lying principally In Phelps and Pulaski counties.
Mr.. Conant about two years ago made some IN
tercstng discoveries In the region mentioned Of
human skulls and skeletons, supposed to be-
long to a people who existed before the historic
period, and as II IA understood that he has been
engaged since 1862 IN collecting the materials OF
work on archaeology, II may we'll he supposed
That he Is enthusiastic in following UP his DIS

named after one Of the early settlers, who
mfdc salipetrc from tho cave deposits. The
cavern Is IN the lines tone formation, with an
entrance about one hundred aud thirty feet in
tho bluns above the GascUnadc river. ThOy FIRST
entered q spacious chamber, but ss the passage

their Knees and crawl some distance. They
next made nearly perpendicular ascent Of atty

toOits from tho roof Having explored the
caverns, the work OF cxcavating began at the
mouth Oi the cave. where bones ana Implements
were found. rhey made vertical section OF
six feet, and studied the stratlncatun Of the
soft deposits. The layers changed from n
black, rich soil, TO ashes, alternating with
strata composed of soil and ashes Inter-
bones ana fragments were found. The sku lls
exhibit q low facial angle. aud the teeth some
OF which dropped out. are as well preserved IA

skull Of an old man, known from the knitting
together Of tho sutures. and also one Of an in
FAINT OF almost wafer-like thnnoss, and the sew

skulls there were found arrow and spear heads.

skins, made Of bone, very hard aud polished
also the bones Of tho turtle. deer and wild tur-
key, interniingled with various raguents OF car

The second cave explored was about q mile
distant from the Former, and Is loc lily known
as Ash Cave. from the fact that there Ia deposit
OF ashes from the sSltpctre manufactured there
about thitty years ago. These slltpetre opera
tions have far disturbed the original der osits

with this corpse was also found the ncarl, entire
