Ancient Jasper Mines in Pennsylvania.

Mr.. H. C. Mercer of the archaeological
department of the University of Pennsylya-
MIA has recently completed an account Of
the prehistoric jasper quarries in the Le-
high hills. The university explorers hav
opened the long hidden mines where the
aboriginal Indians quarried the hard jasper
which was to them much that iron is to
civilized man today. In Lehigh and
Berks eight distinct mines have
been opened. showing the workshops of the
early inhabitants. Great excavations have
been covered up for so many years that
forests have grown over them. Irrefrag-
able evidence in the size of these trees
shows that the shafts were closed and
covered as far back as lfs0 or 1890. and
that at least two centuries have passed since
the Indians worked them and then hid the
workings Not only were rude tools used
in sinking these shafts found, but the size
and shape of wooden implements
were fixed BY plaster casts of the
cavities formed in the bottom. All of
these are now gathered in the growing
archaeological collection of the university.
and in its museum can be seen and studied
these new proofs of the handwork of our
native Indians before the DAYS of the white
settlers. Mr. Mercer shows that the Indians
who made these jasper quarries were capa-
bic of intelligent and continued labor and
has thus won new step in our actual
knowledge of their culture. From Belvi-
dere to Trenton, from Beach Haven to
Havrc de Grace, the river beaches may be
looked upon as one great prehistoric quar-
nv. Uttered with the chips, the hammer
stones, and the rejected and lost imple-
merts of vanished men. The newly found
jasper quarries supply relics of the stone
worker, the potter, the fisherman and the
hunter of period nearer the arrival OF
white settlers
