INDIANS RESCUED
FROM OBLIVION
Life, History and Language of
Dead Race Saved to Civili=
zatiOn by Professor

BERKELEY, Aug. 20.-The China
prosperous tribe living in a remote part
of Trinity county, not far from New
River, have been rescued from Oblivion
by DR.. r. B. Dixon, professor of anthro-
pology of Harvard university. who, un-
der the auspices of the University of
California, has written dictionary,
grammar and general account of the
habits and customs of the tribe.
Doctor Dixon found but two aged sur
vivors of the once populous tribe. These
he visited in 1906, and from these red
skins, feeble in body but alert in mind,
the sayant learned the language of their
people
The Chimariko Indians have long
been thought to be extinct and have
never been thought to have been re-
lated to any other tribes in the state.
The first party of miners who discov-
cred them in 1852 found only the rem
nants of a once powerful nation. which
had been depopulated by smallpox.
The disease was thought to have been
SO general in the tribe that it wiped
out the entire nation. but Doctor Dixon,
by long search, discovered an aged man
and woman, the last pair of the race.
These Indians have probably since died,
but their language and grammar. as
we'll as habits and customs, have been
preserved
Doctor Dixon is an authority on an
thropology and the university is con-
graduating itself on securing him to
complete link in the series of gem
eral chronological and archaeological
survey that is now being completed in
this state.
