TthleQuah. I. T.. Aug. 25.-In the
hills Of the Cherokee nation there
are found the ruins OF several
crude and primitive smeltO.. that
were undoubtedly used by the early
The presence of these old ruins are
indisputable proof that there are
valuable minerals In these hills
and that the Spaniards found and
mined them.
According TO the best historical
authority and according to Indian
legends, the Spanish explorers
made periodical visits to the In
dian country coming usually from
the Southwest. Marking the line
OF their operations are these old
smelter ruins that stretch from the
Cherokee nation on up through the
Ozark regions OF Northern Arkan'
sas embracing half dozen coun
| ties. most OF the ruins being found
in the White river country.
There can now be found among
the Cherokee Indians who live In
the hills pieces of melted Stag dul
out OF these old ruins. From one
of these primitive furnaces there
was also washed out on the banks
| of the Illinois river silver coin
that bears the date OF 1916. Not
far from the same spot Is Z Spanisl
monument and cross erected by ex'
plorers long before the present In
dians inhabited this region.
The fact that the old smelters
are found In a region which In latel
years have been shown to contain
large deposits of lead and zinc
might be taken as evidence tina
they were erected tor tho purpose
of reducing these minerals ana
that the Spanish took large quanti
ties OF both minerals out but he,
cause both gold and silver coin :
Of Spanish design and date hav'
been found around the smeltcrs
leads one naturally to the conclu
sion that in addition 10 the lead
and zinc there was also gold an'
silver mined and that some of u
was coined into Spanish money.

New York, March 2G.-The Ed
wards family and the remainder OF
Amagansetts deep sea going popula-
ton was stirred this morning by the
announcement that big whale had
been sighted coming up the coast at
furious speed. Amagansett caught a
whale last month. ana the perfume
of the frying watts and memory of the
fortune that came out Of them are
still fresh.
The whaleboat flotllla, command
ed by Capt. Josh Edwards. veteran
whaler of 20 odd years, mas been
held in readiness ever since, and to-
day the boats were launched just fif-
teen minrtes after the first cry of
"Thar she blows, Vows, blows!"
The bell on the storehouse tower
changed out the news, the telephone
bells rang. and by the time the boats
were afloat everybody in Amagansett
who had legs and could use them was
on the beach to watch the race.
Five Boats Join in Hunt.
Five boats put out to head off the
whale, Capt Josh headed the line,
and right behind crowding close on
the leader came the boats command
ed by Capt. Jabe, Capt. Jess, Capt.
Bert, and Capt Samuel Edwards,
The whale was about three-fourths of
a mile off snore and heading east at
what Capt. Josh figured was a fiji
ty mile clip Each boat was manned
by six men and they tested the tough
ash oars.

and break EN-" roared Capt. Josh,
and the boats shot through the water
like varsity shells.
But the whale had a thousand
horse power in his flukes, and was
soon evident to those on shore that
the whalers were not as good as the
whale and couldn't head him off. Ii
was easy to trace the whales course,
for he came to the surface every few

times before sounding again. In the
bright sunshine the white jets Of
water were plainly visible from the
shore.
When Capt. Josh and the Other
Edwards failed to head of the whale
they fell in behind and began to sterr
chase. After a time the whale slowed
down and the leading boats crept III

were only few lengths from the

Beach Black with Landsmen.
MEANWHILE word that another whal
had been sighted had reached out
into the back country, and by the
time the crews turned back Amagan-
sett beach was black with people wnc
had driven down in every sort of We
hicle to see the show.
Capt. Josh was much disappointed
in mis- failure to land the whale. He
has a contract with the New York
Natural History museum to turn over
to them intact the next whale he
got. The whalers say that the muse
um people will tow the whale, If one
IS caught, to New York. They have
had promise, they say, of a mucn
larger amount for the entire carcass
of the whale than they could make
by selling the oil and bone.
However. Capt. josh has hopes
He believes that the whale sighted to
day is the mate of the one killed last
month, and that It is ranging the
coast searching for its lost oomrade
He believes that It will be sighted
again before long. and a sharp look
cut is being kept at the life saving
station by George milford, one of th'
whaling crew. Capt. Josh said thai
te whale that got away was muci
larger than the one caught last month
From the depths of his whale lor,
he has figured out that today's whale
Is 500 or coo years old. The whal,
captured last month he thought Il
be about at its 4OOth birthday.
