ENCOURAGING GAIN.

Approach OF Spring Compels Dealers to
Replenish Their Stocks.
r. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review OF
Trade says:
The more active tone I'm business Is due

Fierce Wars of
Buried Past.
COPYRIGHT. 1901

The researches of no explorer during
the past decade have brought to light
more valuable relics of prehistoric
America or met with more success than
has crowned the work Of an expedition
just returned from the San Juan coun-
try, that comparatively narrow strip Of
mountainous territory bordering on the
north Of the grand canyon OF the Col
Orado in southeastern Utah and the
southwestern portion of Colorado. The
expedition was organized at Bluff City.
Utah, by c. B. Lang, young student
OF Pittsburgh, Pa, and was composed
of Lang, J. 3. Nelson and Robert Allen,
the latter two being guides and pros
pectors whose lives have been spent in
that district. Prof. Lang has returned
with no less than nine mummifed
remains or deSSicated bodies of human
beings, undoubtedly those Of a people
who existed before or were closely al
lied to the prehistoric cliff-dwellers OF
this section. The expedition also dis
covered more than two hundred speci-
mems of articles OF domestic and per
sonal use of those past and gone people
that renders the collection a vast treas
ury of information relative TO the pri-
vate life of these ancient Americans.
The discoveries made by the expedi-
ton were in what was known as Allen
canyon, a narrow gorge branching off
the grand canyon Of the Colorado and
nearly eight thousand feet above the
sea level. in San Juan county, Utah.

a smaller basket woven tray OF yucca
stems and fiber, and the limbs which
were drawn up against the trunk Of
the body and held there by cords were
covered with a second tray. Beneath
these and drawn closely about the
form was a woven robe or blanket of
yucca fiber and alternate strands of
feathers and lion fur sewn to the fiber
strands. The body. which is in won
derfully natural state of preservation,
has the brown, parchmeut-like look to
be expected, and is. that of man ap-
parently about fifty years Of age. The
dried flesh and skin which clings tight
" to the bones and the size of the lat
ter show that in life the man, evident
~ a chief or parsonage OF some conse-
quence, was one whom we would have
called big handsome fellow.
On the feet of all the bodies found
were bound sandals of woven yucca, OF
different degrees of fneness of weav-
ing, and the baskets and basket-work
trays show a knowledge of this branch
of weaving not excelled by more mod
ern workmen The trays found in the
grave of the first body We're of con-
tinuous coiled work of yucca leaf
stems one-fourth 70 one-half an inch
in width, woven with fiber strands
one-sixteenth OF an inch thick. The
ornamentations were in black, yellow
and brown.
A whistle or flute OF bone-polished
and carved to high, artistic degree
holds high place among the relies,
though the knack of making music
upon it is not known to its possessors.
The chief deauvre Of the collection,
however, outside of the mummy, is a
magnificent robe Of feathers and the
fur of the lion, wolf, mink, beaver and
rabbit, designed in colors and quaint
patterns. It's construction is ingeni-
Gus. A two-strand rope of yucca
fiber, hundreds of feet in length, was
wound with the plumage of feathers
stripped from the quill and narrow
strips Of fur. This rope of feathers and
fur was then sewn toOether- doubling
pack ana Iortn until the nun length
had been used or the required size
reached. The robe is about five by
eight feet and is the only perfect speci-
men of this work found. It was discov-
cred in basket in the rear of a cave
house nearly two hundred feet above
the bottom Of the gorge. The collection
also contains numerous other speci-
mems of articles of workmanship and
use of these people similar to those
mentioned, butt none are rare or of
more than ordinary workmanship. The
collection also contains a number OF
skulls, some of the cliff jewellers, show

heretofore by archaeologist and geolo
gist, and, occasionally, breaking into
portions unknown to White or Strobe,
Haden, Holmes or Powell Early in
March the party began the exploration
of northern branches of the grand can
yon and in Allen canyon, heretofore
unknown as the home of cave, or cliff
jewellers, found nearly twenty caves
containing ruined buildings of differ
ent sizes, the homes and refuge Of the
prehistoric race.
The dwellings were of different sizes,
but the largest were not more than
thirty by one hundred and fifty feet;
and, while the roofs and portion of
the walls had fallen, the parts stand
ing in some of the caves indicated a
height of three stories. Some were
only two stories and others but a single
story. The dwellings were divided
into rooms by stone and wood parti-
tons A number of the rooms were
fairly we'll preserved, had small loop
hole windows, but no outer doors fhe
buildings had doubtless been entered
originally by means of ladders that
were drawn in after the occupants.
The doors were of cedar, each log as
large round as mans leg, the spaces
filed neatly by smaller poles and
twigs and covered by a carpet of cedar
bark. The ends of the timber were
bruised and frayed. as if severed by a
dull instrument. Within close vicinity
OF one another more than thirty Of
these cave dwellings were found, indi-
eating populous settlement The
smaller houses vera in a more ad-
vanced state of ruin, but all showed
that they had been built as a place Of
refuge. where IL would seem this

and fear, threatened by famine within
and by cruel persecution and torture

lower caves were reached by climbing
the projecting points Of the bluffs; but
the higher ones were reached only bv

labor and imminent risk Of being
dashed TO death one hundred TO two
hundred feet below.
In one Of the larger caves, walled il
by five-foot wall ofconcrete powders

statue win be one Of the largest eques-
trian works IN the country. The figure
of Hancock standing would measure ID
feet inches.
Mr.. Elwslls statue is picturesque,
dgniied and forceful, and is said 20
present an excellent likeness of Gen.
Hancock as he appeared at that time
The pose Of the figure is easy and COM
handing, and the modelling strong,
simple and broad, the textures being
notably wen preserved and the fact be-
ing made essentially evident that the
man and horse aud trappings are sepa-
rate objects. The general sits IN his
saddle like fine horsemsn.
The face OF Hancock is fun of life,
and the hair, then worn rather long,
like the mustache and goa tee, adds
much to the picturesqueness of the fig
ure. The horse, fine animal, is full
of life, and its pose is capital, standing
still. with one foot paving the air. The
horse, which from the left of the
writer has somewhat of q classic char
acter. has Its head turned to the left IN
well-chosen contrast to that of the gem
eral, which is directed to the right In
expression the head Of the horse is re-

out any sketch model, preferring to
model it directly from life and still life
