ANCIENT INCA BURIALS

Mr.. G. Berkley Bnrris tells many high
ly interesting things about the ancient in
habitants of Columbia, s. A, into the
heart of which country his late periIous
mining explorations called him.
The great richness in gold and silver of
these South American states, early in the
10Th century drew the attention of the
cruel and greedy Spaniards, and they
brutally conquered and ensIaved the
whole country. They observed the natives
of Peru and Columbia wearing golden
ornaments upon their arms and legs, and
their lust for gold was excited to the high
est pitch and their bloody conquests fol-
lowed as a matter of course.
They fitted out expeditions to Africa
and imported thence large numbers of
black slaves whom they first used as SOL
diers to help conquer the country, and
afterwards worked to death, to.
gether with large numbers of the unfor-
tunate ratiVe Incas, in the mining opera
tions which returned their coEquerors
fabulous wealth.
So frightful were the cruelties practiced
by the Spaniards upon the brave and in-
dustrious Incas that thousands of them
committed suicide to escape the torments
of their prosecutors.
The nobility and weathier classes
among these ancient peoples possessed
large numbers of these golden ornaments
both OF richly wrought, isweled charac-
ter, such as images, bracelets pl4ques &c,
and also many culinary and other ves-
sells for household use, male of the pre-
cious metals.
1t was their custom to bury all these
gt lden ornaments and vessels with their
owner upon his death. They would sink
q dsep shalt, sometimes 30 feet in depth,
aud then run a drift, or Lateral tunnel,
from the bottom, sometime as far as 80 to
100 feet. TheTeupon, to mislead any one
seeking to dsspOil the tomb. they would
return short distance upon the lateral,
and from it run another side adrift or tun-
mel very small and low in size, and there
deposit the Valuables and bury the corpse
afterwards carefully closing up the oritce
and hiding ali traces OI It's existence fill
ing it all in by hand.
Many costly and beautiful ornaments
and utensils of gold, have been recovered
from these ancient Inca tombs, the rule
being that the larger and deeper the pit
and lateral, the greater the wealth that
would be found buried in the grave.
Mr.. Burris met there Mr.. Adam Umho'z
who is engaged in mining in the Andes,
but whose residence is in Washington
D. G. He showed Mr.. Burris a number
of golden images of their old Inca idols,
about or 10 inches in height, nicely
finished, by those master workmen.
He also told of large gold platter that had
been thus recovered from one of these
graves. This platter was beautifully
wrought and had masonic emblems
carved upon it. 1t was sold for SIS, 600
In San Francisco.
