Illinois Mound Rich in Relics Of
Prehistoric Days
soHE PROVE TO Be EIGHT FEET LoNe
DIGGERS BELIEVE THEY HAVE
FOUND AN ANCIENT BURY
ING GROUND.

QUINCY, ILL.,, Nov. 13.-Excava-
tions now going on, on the hilltop farm
Of Mrs. M Crabtree, eight miles
from Mount Sterling, Brown county,
are revealing a large number of pre-
historic relics. The diggers are at
work upon a mound.
With the first days work, the
mound began to yield traces of handi-
work of past ages and the bones of
those who had wrought it and others
Immediately joined in the search, still
going on. Thus far, several skeletons,
by actual measurement eight feet long,
and several pieces of remarkable pot
terry, beads and curious Implements
have been taken out.
The bones crumble badly almost US
soon as they are taken in the open air.
They are so numerous that it is be-
Iieved a prehistoric burying ground
has been found, greater in extent and
more perfectly preserved than any yet
discovered. 4s-t
Under the bones of each of the
ancient. dead were found pieces OF
pottery, beneath the fragments of the
skulls Of some of thern vases, the
largest Of which would easily hv:d

was a curious bowl, in the center OF
which was the figure of king seated
upon log, and it is thought thai
these bones may be those of a grea:
leader of the race that once ruled
this portion of the continent.
Strangest Of all the articles found
with the bones were implements that
are apparently made of bamboo, some
of them evidently shaped for pnr-
poses of weaving. Vast quantities OF
beads were found in the mound of a

thus completing our knowledge of the
great island to the northeast of Green

Peary has thus extended his discov-

some three hundred miles of coast
