Mr. David Young returned from Fort
Francis lass evening, having been on Q
pleasure trip as web a. on an investi-
eating tour as 70 the contents of the
Indian mounds on Rainy River. During
last winter Mr. Young opened mound
On Lake Wiader. in tho northern part
of the everglades of Florida. and be
has since been anxious to compare the
contents Of the southern mound with
that OF those in the far northwest-ths
extreme south with the extreme north.
The mound first examined was that
opened by Prof. Bryce during the sum-
raer, and where the FIRST whole cup or
vase of baked oarthenware was d;scoy-
ered The time WAS limited, and only
few hours could be given (and those
during the mighty to examining the
mound. Accordingly a number Of
men were placed at work, and th6
scene was indeed \ peculiar one. Three
large fires were lighted TO give light, as
well rs heat. and in the Pickering light
it seemed IS if a number of ghouls
were ut work unearthing the dead At
last the form of man WAS found IN,
the usual sitting position. with the
arms crossed on the breast, and facing

pieces of pottery were beside him. ~

opened two mounds ut the mouth Of
the Little American River and found
copper beads and utensils, as well as
three white vases similar to those
found by Prof. Bryce. On the Canadian
side. OF the river there are many
mounds, but the Indians viii not allow
them to be opened. claiming that those
buried there were the victims of some
cread disease, and that if the mounds
were opened the Same disease would at
once carry otr the whole tribe. On the
American side there are no resident
Indians, so that the mounds can be ex-
emined at will. Mr.. Young expresses
