PARTY HAS NARROW ESCAPE

NEW YORK, January 26.-Dr. Marshall
| H. Saville. professor Of archaeology at
Columbia University. has just returned
from the wild regions Of Ecuador, after
many exciting experiences while heading
| an expedition among the ruins OF an
ancient civilization. He and his assist
ants have brought back the most COM
plete collection in the world Of relics Of
Ecuador's lost tribes.
The party narrowly escaped death sew
eral times. Two Of them were arrested
as spies and were detained several days
until Prof. Saville appealed personally to
the President Of Ecuador.
The most interesting Of the professors
narratives relates to a gold rush in the
heart Of Ecuador, rush which the ex-
plorers proflted by in novel way. 1t
was because OF this rush and the ensuing
hunt for gold that Prof. saville was en-
abled to obtain his antiques without even
the trouble Of excavating for them in
century-old tombs.
Discoveries Start Gold Rush.
It was in the neighborhood Of Angel,
in the province OF Carchi many miles in
land from Ecuadors coast, that the gold

Before the excitement subsided at least

and precious stones had been marketed.
