BELIEVE THEY HAVE
FOUND De SOTO'S HELMET

PARIS, Tenn, May 21.-An interesting
archaeological relic has been discovered
in an indian mound about twenty miles
south of Paris. in the shape of finely
carved and wrought metal helmet. SUP
posed to be OF pure silver. which weighs
eighteen pounds and is in an excellent
state of preservation.
The find is attracting the interest Of
archaeologists in Tennessee. and there
is a difference Of opinion as to its orr
gin. While numerous finds of crudely
worked copper have occurred in the
many prehistoric mounds and stone
graves of Tennessee, 10 object of silver
or of higt-class workmanship has been
unearthcd. For this reason many hold
that the helmet is relic of the early
Spanish explorers and must have been
lost by fernando De Soto, the discov-
erer of the Mississippi In 1882, when he
led an expedition through this section TO
the site of the present city OF Memphis.
