THE MOUND BUILDERS.


Their intellectual Life ~ Indicated By
Enhumed Relics
Very interesting conclusions have
been drawn from the recent study Of
tho ancient mounds found along the
course OF the ST. Johns river In Florida.
Many articles Of copper, stone, shed
and earthenware, and a few Of gold
and silver have been discovered In
these mounds, Some Of the mounds
are crowded with human skeletons,
while others contain no bones.

brought from Mexico and Cuba, but
most Of which came from the neigh.
borhood OF Lake Superior, This proves
that In prehistoric times oommunioa-
ton and traffic nuat have existed
across this country as far, at least, Us
from the lakes TO the gulf
But the few articles made Of gold
and silver may, 1t lis thought, be far
less ancient than those Of copper, and
may have been fabricated from metal
obtained through the Spanlsrds. One
reason for thinking that the prshis-
toric people who began the construc-
ton Of the mounds did not know or or
employ, Tho gold sometimes found In
the form OF nuggcts In Georgia, but
depended for what they got on Span
ish sources, is that no gold ornAmenM

covered In Florida farther north than

1t has been suggested that the little
gold that did come into the hands Of
these people after the time Of Colum-
bus was probably obtained from a
wrecked vessel on the coast Tho
Spaniards kept sharp outlook for
gold and silver, md did not give the
