Though the campaign for the trotters and PAGERS

average speed OF this month has been considerably
higher than usual. OF course the bicycle suky Is
responsible for this and the safety wheel had not

CHEYENNE. Wyo.. April 2S.-One Of the
most interesting discoveries in the history
of American archaeology has been made in
Wyoming. A party of prospeotors from
the north report finding an extensive an
cient Indian Arrowhead" mine located in
the foothills about forty miles east of Lsra-
mic peak, on the headwaters of the Muddy.
The remains of large Indian village were
also discovered on the MESA in it's imme-
diate vincinity. On the site of this village.
which is shown BY handreds of tepee beds,
the ground is strewed with broken frae-
ments arrowheads, lanoehsads, stone axes,
etc. The rock ia an agate Of varied colors
milk white predominating. It's fracture 10
conohoidal, breaking with sharp edges. On
veins of this rock lying beneath limestone
long tunnels have been run and many open
outs made. One of the shafts which il par
italy filled up had a large tree growing In
Its center. A few miles distant ia an Indian
battle-ground, with many graves of Indian
braves.
As estimated by the miners who exam
ined the workings, ii would take 100 mon
two years to do the work by modern meth
DDS. Scientific parties are arranging to
visit the place, and will make maps and de-
tailed reports on this curious revelation of
barbaric age.
