ANOTHER SERPENT MOUND.
Intsrssting Arch biological Discovery Near
the City Of Quincy.

The Rev. S. Poet. publisher Of tn,
american Antiquarian. has recently
made q discovery in this vicinity O.
great historic interest. says the Quincy
(Ill.) Whig., Mr.. Peet has found dur
ing the last few years number o.
serpent effigies in Wisconsin. and since
the discovery OF the great serpent il
Ohio he has been looking for traces Of
the handiwork Of these same curious
people in this locality. his theory being
that the serpent worshippers passed
down the Ohio river. up the Mississippi
and thence into Wisconsin. A con.
Meeting link of their work along the
Mississippi would prove the truth Of
his theory. This link Mr.. Peet has
found.
His newly discovered serpent is six
miles north of Quincy. on the Carthage
road, where Rock creek breaks
through the bluff. one-half mile north
of Rock Greek station. A cleverly de-
fined rsttlesnake lies coiled along the
ground. following the line of the bluff.
Its entire length IS !, 450 feet the head
being to the south and marked at
present by cluster of cherry trees. A
portion of the ridge or series of mounds
Of which this monster is composed lies
in a wheat field. and the ridge has
been plowed down until now 1t is only
two or three feet above the surface.
The outlines are still plainly distin-
guished, however. the mounds Mt the
coils of the serpent being ten or twelve
feet high.
The specific dimensions OF the snake
are as follows: Six hundred feet from
the head to the coils; the coils occupy
. space Of 800 feet In length and are
made up of four distinct mounds 100
feet apart, the mounds giving the out
line and clearly marking the roll Of
the serpent; from the coils to the rat.
tie Of the snake is $50 feet, and there
are three rattles. occupying space Of
100 feet. The serpent lies north and
south. a straight line drawn through It
showing detection to the east Of so
feet near tho head aud IS feet near the
tail. The mounds of the serpent COM
mand fine view of the river, three or
four miles distant, and Of the surround
ing country. Mr.. Peet explored one Of
the mounds and few feet below the
surface found the remains OF five per-
sons. but he does not think that these
are the remaines Of the serpent worship
pers. his opinion being that they are
buried deeper. and that the bodies
which he found are Of later race Of
Indians. He will make further ex-
plorations In the near future. The
discovery made by Mr.. Peet will prove
Of great historic interest and may led
to valuable results in a6ording knowl.

responsibility. The government ac-

CASA GRANDR RUINS.

The Casa Grande ruins, about mid way between Florence and the town of Casa Grande, are ruins indeed. A visit last week was made to these much-ad- vertised relics of former civilization. The walls are about four feet thick, but under the influence of the elements their height has diminished to almost nothing. A special agent of the Gov ernment left Washington few days since with the g, recently appro- priated for the preservation of what is left of the walls He arrived at Casa Grande ill due season, went out to the pile of adobes and returned to Wash ington with the money. What his re- port will be is not difficult to imagine. -Tombstone Prospector.
 Father Font, the priest who visited Casa Grande ill 1775 says, it must have been built in the thirteenth century. Father Kino, in 1649, spoke of it as then ruin, and from traditional ac- counts given by Indians, concluded that it had then been built at least five hum dred years. Its dimensions, as stated, seventy feet, Spanish measure, from north to south, and fifty feet from east to west The walls originally were four feet in thickness. The exact measurement, as stated in Lieutenant Emery's report, in 1S4S, was three and seven-tenths feet. He says it was orig inally four or five stories high, each of which was eight feet from floor to ceiI- ing. It was built of concrete, of which seventeen per cent. was carbonate of lime, and seventy-four of sand and matter insoluble in hydrochloric acid.
