THE FINAL LOCATION OF CORONADO'S
OUIVERA.
OUIVERA.

article published not long since III the
Kansas City Star and reprinted in THE
CONSERVATIVE, gives a very concise
boundary of Coronado's Quivera. A more
able writer than Judge Keagy is scarcely
to be found in this very interesting Kan
sas field He has confined his article,
however, to the documentary evidences
to prove the location and boundaries
of Coronado's Quivera and it seems
to me that the readers of THE Con-
SENTATIVE should know more of the
local evidences elaborated by Hon. j. V.
Brewer in his memoirs 'Quivera" and
"Harahey" [Dodd Mead & Co., New
York, $500 eachl.
We shall not endeavor to review the
article which cites you to the works of
Baudalier, Hodge and Brewer for recent
sources and Casteneda, Jaramillo and
Coronado as ancient authorities in
making his deductions, but shall ask
you to accept the boundaries which this
very eminent authority has given, and
will proceed to show in brief way the
logical steps which led to the discovery
of the ancient site and the establishment
of the bounds laid down in Judge Keagy's
article.
From the field notes deposited in the
State Historical Society of Minnesota,
Mr.. Brewer has kindly allowed me to
draw much of the data herein contained,
while other proofs will be found elab-
grated fully in his above mentioned
works as well as his missouri River"
Mr.. L. R. Elliott of Manhattan, Kan
sas, first called Mr.. Brower's attention
to the flint implements found near his
home. This led to careful study of
these f1ints, beginning in June, 1896.
From this date the work went steadily
onward, and, considering the effect of
this study prosecuted in the Kansas fields
and elaborated by Mr.. Brewer, it makes
this date a memorable one as the begin
ming of labors which have, for all time,
settled the question of the location of
Coronado's explorations in 1541.
In the autumn of 1896 Mr.. Brewer
made journey to investigate this field
from which the fints came and can not
do better in my endeavor to give you an
idea of the work done in this field than
to quote from his own account of this
trip, published in "The Missouri River"
page 161.
cat Manhattan was joined by Mr..
Elliott and Mr.. W. J. Griffing, and by
team we proceeded up McDowall creek
on Friday, Nov. 20, 1896, to farming
locality in Geary county, Kansas, called
Briggs, seven miles due south from the
Kansas river, fifteen miles from Man
haitian. During past geological era a
limestone formation accumulated at that
point, and there is a very considerable
deposit of blue ebert, the whole bearing

formations of the neighbor-

"No attention appears to have been ex-
tended toward the locality by archaeolo-
gists in the past at least, no publication
describing the place has been found, al
though such may exist.
"Mr. Elliott, once before, drove to
Briggs, examined both sides of the creek,
noticing in several places the existence
of Clipped implements and flint spalls.
"Such, briefly stated, was the situa-
ton at Briggs when Mr.. Elliott, Mr..
Griffing and myself went into tempor-
ary encampment near the creek, at that
point. for the purpose Of exploring the
locality.
"The second terrace obove the creek,
on the north side, was found to have
been, at some unknown date, the site of
an extensive Indian village. Two hun
dred and fifty Clipped stone implements
of different kinds, sizes, and varieties
were picked up along the terrace, and
placed in convenient piles. Flint blocks
rejects, finished and half finished points
and knives, broken implements, and
remarkable quantity of spalls, large and
small, were scattered every where along
the terrace. There are two cultivated
fields there. Our cursory examination
extended to but one of them on that side
Of the creek. At the point Oh the chart
marked as the location of workshop,
we discovered about hundred imple-
ments, and the spalls could be numbered
by the thousand. Up to late hour of
the day no article of iron, copper, pottery,
or lead was found. Finally two small
pot-shards were picked up down nearer
the creek, but away from the central
locality of the village site. Crossing the
creek on fallen tree, with some difficulty
we were directed by Mr.. Elliott to an
other spot where village debris was
found, but in limited quantities. Re
turning to our team, the several piles of
stone implements were gathered up and
more were added. Wherever we searched
the surface was Uttered with flint spalls
and Clipped implements. Visiting the
bluffs of the neighborhood, no mounds
were found, and no graves or places of
burial are distinguishable. Later, six
mounds or places of sepulture were dis
covered at this site]. Mr.. Briggs pointed
out the limit to which extended the
scattered stone implements and debris,
covering nearly one mile in length. The
width of the village site is hardly ascer-
tainable, for the terrace has been under
state Of cultivation for so long period,
and the stone relics seem to be scattered
so promiscuously from the flood plain to
the base of the bluffs that it is difficult
to determine the outward limits. The
site is large enough to accommodate
about one thousand ordinary sized
lodges. Just how many there were will
probably never be known. ~
"Mr. Elliott has asked the question:
ITO what race of men can the establish
ment of this village be ascribed?'
"The answer, upon the meager infor-
nation 1 have at hand, is not only a
| difficult hut delicate one T have

tain. That they were probably (9ulveran
Indians, whomsoever they may have
been, is possible, and I shall entertain
that opinion until better evidence to
the contrary than 1 now possess is
produced"
Here we have the account of the first
exploration; there is something interest
ing in the first breaking Of new ground
in any line of investigation, and, al
though the book goes on to elaborate
the Elliott site and tells of others found
during the same tour of investigation,
nothing seems so interesting as this first
breaking Of ground, this first glimpse Of
the riches of archaeology hidden amid
the hills and valleys, only waiting for
the right man with knowledge, energy
and good judgment enough to develop it.
The exploration was carried on until,
in 1898, there had been explored terri
tory one hundred and fifty miles from
east to west and sixty miles from north
to south one hundred and thirty village
sites of more or less Importance had
been located and partially explored Mr..
Brewer made three trips to this field:
The first in November, 1885, the second
in March, 1897; the third in March,
1898.
We can do but little in one article to
show the exhaustive work of exploration
which has been carried on in this field
by Mr.. Brewer, so ably assisted by Judge
J. T. Keagy and others, except give
brief summary of the report elaborated
and printed, as well as the field notes of
the exploring party, however, we wish
to call your attention to the exploration
of one other site out of the many
minutely treated in the sources; this site
seems to differ materially from the
Elliott site.
This site is situated some fifteen miles
due east of the Elliott site, on Mill creek
which flows little north of east from
Alma, Kansas, and empties into the
Kansas river some thirty miles below
Manhattan.
The following account, which 1 have
curtailed, is from the pen of Judge
Keagy and is published in "Quivera,"
page 81. Itshows not only the archaeol-
ogy of the vicinity, but the eminent
qualifications of the gentleman as an
authority on these subjects:
"One Of the results of the visit of Mr..
J. V. Brewer to the valley of Mill creek
in Wabaunsee county, Kansas, in April,
1897, was the subsequent discoveries
described herewith
"About the first of June, assisted by
my son, j. A. Keagy, lad nineteen
years of age, I learned the localities
where successful search could be prose-
cuted for securing Clipped flint imple-
ments, made by race of men who for
merly occupied that portion of the valley

the imagination of every clerk and

Marble Bust of Hobart at Capitol,

A Carrara marble bust of Garret A.
Hobart has been placed in one of the
inches of the senate chamber to COM
plete the collection of busts of vice
presidents. This piece of sculpture is
the work of Frank Edwin Elwell, of
New York, who also made the bust of
Vice President Morton, which was so
highly praised by all of Mr.. Morton's s
friends. The Hobart bust is equally
satisfactory to the artist, and those
who have seen it claim for it the merit
of giving an indication of the high
character of the man in addition to
being Photographic likeness. Mr..
Elwell's work, much of which has been
awarded premiums at the Pan-Ameri-
can exposition, includes the statue OF

One day, however, she said to
Mercy:

II PROMISE" said Justice.
Then Mercy tied the bandage over
her eyes, as requested, and Justice
lay down and went to sleep.
The next day she awoke and said:
'Sister, l. have finished my nap. l

Nay" said Mercy, "did you not
