this state and their forms are near
enough alike to be traced to the same
original source or fountain head but the
art and skill shown are so different that
they prove wide divergence in civiliza-
tion. The Quivera type is plainly
paleolythic in form but neolythic really,
as they are found on top of ground.
The name "Harahey," as used by Mr..
Hodge and Mr. Brewer, is not house
hold word in this state as is Quivera
but it has more interest for Nebraska
people than has Quivera itself, especially
if we are to consider the Quivera ex-
plored by Coronado the only point which
bore that musical name. If we rest
contented with the settlement of the
question touching Coronado's explora-
tions, the bounds of Quivera did not
reach to the territory of Nebraska.
When we began the study of this
"great elusive myth" as one writer
calls it, we did not expect to prove that
Coronado ever visited Nebraska almost
our first published utterance was to the
effect that Coronado never reached Quiz
vera proper, the great empire which he
was led to believe existed, the land from
which eminated the halo and glory, the
legends and insignia which made this
name known for thousand miles in all
directions. Now, this needs explanation:
do not doubt but Coronado reached a
country called "Quivera," but I do
doubt that he reached the center from
which eminated this insignia which gave
Quivera such widespread notoriety. AS
I briefly stated in prior article, the
Every barbarous" natives which Coron-
ado found here could never have given
the name such far-reaching fame, and
the real centre of this great empire was
never reached until Penalosa, in 1869,
penetrated the present state of Nebraska
as far as the Platte river and saw "the
many thousands of houses, built of
hewn timber, some three and even four
stories high" where Columbus now
stands.
If you will follow the threads of proof
leading to this conclusion, as I have done
for number of years, you will agree.
In an article like this, one can bring but
few points to bear: You will notice
the Indian characteristic to designate
other tribes, not by the name which
they call themselves, but by some other;
the Black Pawnees or Pawnee Pics are
now universally known as the Wichitas:
the Pawnees, when white men first
knew them, called south, "kir-i-ku-ruks-
tu" which, translated, means toward or
with the Wichitas. (From Dunbar.)
This proves that the name Wichita was
applied to the branch of this tribe which
wandered off and went south. Grinnell
says the, Wichitas accompanied the
Pawnees on their journey from the

they travelled for four or five days,
since it was understood to be unin-
habited between one stream and the
other 1t would appear from this that
Coronado, after leaving the village at or
near Great Bend, continued in north
easterly course, and either followed
down the Smoky Hill or crossed that
stream and also the Saline, Solomon,
and Republican forks, reaching Kansas
river not far from junction City. That
one of these routes was followed seems
to be shown by Jaramillo's farther
statement, after speaking indefinitely OF
streams with no settlements between,
that, here there was river, with more
water and more inhabitants than the
others. Being asked if there was any
thing beyond, continues Jaramillo, they
said that there was nothing more of
Quivera, but that there was Harahey
and that it was the same sort of place"
One scarcely knows where to stop in
the discussion of this interesting field
all the explorations seem to have such
direct interest in their bearing on the
archaeology of this state, but enough
has been said to prove that at least two
very important points have been
definitely settled: First, the geographi-
cal location Of Coronado's field of ex-
ploration, and, second, the fact that the
old Santa Fe trail was prehistoric route
of travel between these ancient
aboriginal provinces.
The next most important result of
Mr.. Brower's work in the Kansas field,
and the one which interests Nebraska
archaologists more particularly is his
discovery and scientific classification of
"the typical Quivera and Harahey knife
and tomahawk" as he calls them. These
implements are new to the realms of
science and should be illustrated side by
side if you are to get proper concep-
ton of their individual characteristics
and marked differences; the Quivera
implements are coarse, being Clipped in
large flakes and have blunt edges; they
may be readily picked out even by
novice. While the Harahey type is
Clipped in fine flakes, having thin, sharp
edges, and the whole implement shows
a smooth, even surface and is thin
throughout. They show art and much
skill, and with the Harahey type, is in
variably found pot shard, while with
the Quivera type is marked absence
of pottery of every kind. The two
types overlap, and we shall see how
these two provinces, once constituting
one mighty nation, after their migra-
ton northward or cup" separated, and
how, later on, warlike people, like
wedge, came between them and grad
ually drove the Wichitas south and the
Pawnees north, until, in 1862, PenalOsa

his explorations in the Kansas field, Mr..
w. F. Hodge of the Bureau of Ameri-
can Ethnology was conducting study
of this subject from the manuscript
sources, and very complete summary
of his work appears in Mr.. Brower's
second volume of memoirs, "Harahey."
1t is prefaced with the following signi-
fcant and self-explanatory phrases from
the pen Of Mr.. Brewer:
ellis paper, which consider the most
valuable and exhaustive ever written on
this subject of absorbing interest, is in
serted in full, and the fact that his
studies have yielded results end exactly
where the archaeological discoveries be-
gan, each in an advanced stage of con-
sideration before our correspondence
was initiated, and at a time when our
labors in this field of research were dis
tinctly independent and separate, in
augurates a community of conclusions
destined to invite the test of scrutiny,
since all personal designs have been
studiously eliminated, that the facts of
history, without distortion, may be per-
petuated."
wish to show how nearly these two
men, one working in the field following
the archaeological evidences, and the
other working in the manuscript
sources, came together in their con-
clusions, by quoting few paragraphs
from the complete and very accurate
work of Mr.. Hodge:
"As the distance from the southern
bend Of the Arkansas northeastward to
the town of Great Bend is about eighty
miles, or thirty leagues, the distance
given by the Relacion del Suceso, it is
evident that the southerly bend of the
river must have been the point crossed
by the Spaniards, and that Great Bend
or it's vicinity is the site of the first
village of the province of Quivera,
midway between, or probably little
more toward the southwest, between
Kinsley and Larned, was doubtless
where the Spaniards "made an example"
of the Turk and the place where the
first natives Of Quivera were seen.
Coronado went for twenty-five leagues
through the Quivera settlements, accord
ing to the Relacion del Suceso page
577), but as to the direction we are left
to surmise that the explorations were
continued toward the northeastward, or
to where the leader obtained an account
of what was beyond
"From the point on the Arkansas at
which the first Quivera Indians were
seen, Coronado dispatched a letter to the
governor of Harahy and Quivera, having
understood that he was Christian from
the lost army Of Florida, because what
the Indian had said of their manner of
pOyernment and their general character

Mischief was at flood tide. and Mrs.
Field was vainly endeavoring to be

his wife exclaimed. BE sure not to
let the meringue scorch-it would ruin
them; you'd better give me that book
or they'll hp burned to n crisp" With
mock meekneSS Mr.. Field allowed her
to carry off his treasure. On returning
she was Mortified to find the oven door
wide open and the rich, fluffy meringue

Sable sheep are not frequently seen

A colonial lOckmaster had quite a
number of black lambs. and he folded
them in a range by themselves. He
found that black lambs might not re-
cur in a flock in generations and then
recur suddenly. For example, where a
black ram was used in flock of white
ewes the product was white lambs.

and dam were ebony cOlored the lambs
were mostly white. And so the Aus
