The Indian, in the old days, smoked his

Like the one found in the morning, this
poor "1njun" had been buried in sitting
posture.
On his kneecaps were found huge Jumps
OF red and yellow adobe, weighing perhaps
twenty pounds each.
The skull OF this fellow was exhumed in
tact and so were most Of the larger bones of
the limbs and all the ribs.
Three arrOwheads were found near one
hand and in the other single flint arrow
head attached to three-inch piece OF petri-

Without doubt the petrifed wood was the
remnant OF the complete arrow.
Again the spectators crowded about the
narrow trench and inspected the relies

Soon they were all taken ont and laid

And still the digging went on mer-

No more human bones were discovered,

two very curious discoveries were made.

These Indians were called Goyas. and
once inhabited the country hereabouts in
great numbers.
They had no religion nor code of ethics Of
their own and readily fell under the int1u-
ence of the Jesuit fathers.
They knew no intoxicating drink and led
sober, though not very industrious, lives.
The exercises OF the chase aud the dance
gave them great physical strength.
They were remarkable athletes, and could
swim like South Sea Islanders.
And this is what they have come to-
crumbliDg skeletons, exhumed for the edu-
cation of the palefaee.
All the earefulness of the Aradas failed to
extract this particular skeleton In anything
like natural state.
The bones were more brittle and less apt
TO crumble than any OF those hitherto found
in this mound, but they could not be pre-
served intact.
To the left of the sitting skeleton three
very fine arrowheads were found and an ak
head or tonlahawk.
The latter is of flint, shaped something
like an egg at one end and running to q
very fine point at the other.
This formed almost the sole weapon OF
the aborigines. besides the poisoned arrow,
and was constructed In q most primitive
manner.

animals the stone blade was fastened to a

Over the cavities where the eyes once

What outlandish specimen of an unknown

Not the wisdom even Of Michael Arada
can solve the riddle.
Very near this find was huge jaw bone
OF some carniyorous mammoth.
The teeth were hideous.
They looked like big spikes and measured
nearly three inches, root and all.
There were eight OF these big molars ON

have been.
