MOUND BUILDERS METROPOLIS.
Mai. FOntaine Finds Traces of Pre-
historic American City.

A dispatch to the New York Herald from
Jackson, Miss. says: Major Lamar Fon-
taine a prominent civil engineer of Lyons,
Miss, tells remarkable story of the dis
covery, in Arkansas, of what he declares
was once the metropolis of the prehistoric
mound builders and the largest city in the
world. He found these ruins, the major
says, while making a recent survey.
'On direct line east and west for thirty
five miles, says Major Fontaine, 'and as
far as my eye could reach, the ruins con-
tinued. Tgrning north for distance of
twenty-five miles the ruins did not end.
Computing the area surveyed by me, and
estimating that each dwelling contained
five Inhabitants, l found that II. 100000 peo-
pie had their bones in this great city.
This city is spread over three counties,
Desha Drew and Ashley, in Arkansas, and
was the grand metropolis of that prehis-
toric race called the mound builders. These
people numbered countless millions, and
the Yazoo valley of the Mississippi was
their field. The entire delta of the Yazoo
was in a high state of cultivation. Every
acre was utilized for agricultural purposes.
Thousands of canals were dug and used by
them for irrigation and navigation, and
countless pottery factories show-that they
manufactured superior articles of earthsn-
ware for domestic purposes.
Many acres are covered six feet deep
Their teeth, yet sound and perfect, can be
picked up by the hatful at this distant day.
They were small race, and their anatomy
is precisely the same as that of the Chinese
in every particular. They came TO this
country from the overcrowded regions of
China. l have traced their footsteps from
the shores Of kamtchatka ard Siberia,
across the Aleutian Isles down to the west
ern shores of America, across the continent
to the valley of the Mississippi and many of
its tributaries to the northern confines of
Mexico. There they cease. No trace could
l find in South America.
Coming back to the Yazoo delta, We find
that 90 per cent Of all the streams, or bay
Gus, that flow through it were dug by these
people, and all the gatewayS point to the
great metropolis beyond the Mississippi in
Arkansas.
Along those bayous are many mounds or
banks, of shells of an extinct bivalve. These
shells were brought in boats and barges
from the shores of Lake Borgne, below the
present city of New Orleans, and there on
the shores of Lake Borgne, they had their
great store houses and magazines of shells
These extinct prehistoric people gather
ed these shells, transported them up the
Mississippi river to the delta of the Yazoo
pottery. ! have found as many as eighteen
jars filed with these shells in one boat
followed from cypress tree

tracted some attention among scientists,
but none of them cares to express an opin-
ion until he knows something more about
