ANCIENT LOST CITY.

Az 0ldotOuouiJ EuSiduu, III
1892, the discovery was made
of lake dwellings, near a small
pool, which pool in the long
past must have been a fairly
lage expanse of water. Today
it is hardly more than wet
meadow. Certain mounds were
opened by local archaeologists,
and far beneath were found the
dwellings of the original lake
dwelIers. The immense anti
DUTY of the site may be at once
understood when IL is stated
that the upper formation of to-
day is peat. At first a hearth
stone was found, and under
that another hearthstone. 10
some cases there not less than
five hearthstones, aud then, at
last, under them were the yer
teal piles which had been
driven into the mud of the lake
bottom. Who can judge Of the
time which passec between the
placing of each hearthstone9
In the surrounding debris oys
ter shells were found, and the
bones of horses, oxen, sheep,
dogs, cats, swine and beavers.
The hearlhstoues were ident
flied as having come FROM a
quarry some three miles dis
lant. There was an abundance
of broken pottery. A queer
memenlo Of a long past is a
human skull, wliich was found
impaled on a stake. The man
who once owned the head had
met with a violent death, as the
cleft IN the bone showed. Ac
cording 10 approved measure
ments, the skull is of d good
Type. It is positive these lake
jewellers knew the outside
world, for there was discovered
a bronze bowl and beads oil
glass and amber.

On Wednesday November Is,
1896, the st. George Tabernacle
Choir returned from Cedar City,
where seven choirs of the sweet
singers of Zion met together for
mutual benefit and they gave two
concerts and had a Joyful time
mlnglipg their voices in sweet
strains of music, where they
formed ties of friendship that
will be remembered i'm years to
come. We understand It is the
intention of the Choirs to have
these gatherings annually. There
were 20 members OF the st. GEORGE
Choir, under the leadership of
Joseph w. McAllister, who attend
ed the festival, and they speak in
words of praise of the people of
Ceader City and the kind manner
IN which they treated our singers.
That is right. We love to see
good feelings exist between the
music fraternity.
