Discovers Relics Of Early Indians.


Several of the parties which the
Wisconsin Archaeological society has
had in the field in connection with the
state survey which it is conducting
this year have returned.
DIR. George l.. Collie and Robert H.
Becker are preparing report of their
researches conducted in the vicinity
of Grand Rapids, Nekoosa, Meehan,
Plover and Stevens Point on the upper
Wisconsin river. Towne L. Miller,
who with an assistant left ST. Paul on
June to make investigations along
the Wisconsin bank of the Mississippi
river between the mouth of the st.
Croix and Prairie du Chen, has ar
rived in Madison on his way back TO
his home in Ripon.
In the course of their investiga-
lions of fully geo miles of river shore
Miller and his assistant were sue
cessful III making many observations
of great interest to local archaeological
science. They succeeded in placing
many sites of early Indian camps and
villages, burial places, caches, trails
and groups OF earthworks. Fine
photographs of many OF these we're
obtained
George r. Fox, who with H. o.
Younger is at work for the society on
the west shore of Green Bay, has
now reached the mouth of the Oconto
river on his way to Marinette. The
region which these men are exploring
is especially rich in evidences of early
Indian life and their report when
published promises to be valuable.
H. Z. Cole and Prof A. S. Flint
are leaving Baraboo for Reedsburg,
where they will begin a systematic
survey of the sites of Indian archaeo-
logical interest along the upper Bara-
boo river and its continent streams.
They will make careful surveys of
groups of earthworks known to exist
near La Vale, Wonewoc. EIroy. Nor

Precious Metals OF South Atlantic

That part of the Carolinas which
lies Immediately southeast of the
Blue Ridge, in what is known as
the Piedmont region, has long
been of both scientific and COM
mercial Importance, largely on
account of the variety and abund-
ance of its minerals. In fact in
the number of its mineral species
North Carolina is said to surpass
any other state in the Union, and
great variety of minerals has
been found in South Carolina.
Mining in this region dates back
before the settling of America and
early Spanish and English ac-
counts of the discovery and re-
covery of metals are numerous.
The principal mineral resource is
gold. Iron has been mined to a
considerable extent, and within
recent years the monazite industry
has attained some Importance.
Besides these materials, tin, cop
per, lead, magnese, pyrite, mica,
barite, corundum, clay limestone
and granite are or have been found
and worked to some extent.
The story of the first authentic
disco Jery of tin in the Carolinas is
interesting. While student at
the Kings Mountain high school
in 1881, Robert T C1aywell found
in a street of the town number
of pieces of a heavy dark-colored
mineral. Although he was an
amateur student of mineralogy at
the time, he was unable to identify
the mineral, but he added it to his
collection, where it remained I'M
identified for some time. This
specimen was turned over two
years later to Col S. Med. Tate,
who was making collection of
North Carolina minerals for the
American Exposition at Boston.
1t is said that Col Tate before
sending this specimen to Boston
labeled it Tin" 4
The news of the discovery of tin
soon spread in Kings Mountain
and throughout the country. Ev-
sryone in the town, men, women
md children, began to hunt for
in. All over the eastern part of [
he town they found crystals of 7
cassiterite, which they sold as GU
rios at or 10 cents each. A |
number of companies were subse-
formed for the mining of |
tin, but tin mining in the Caro-
linas has been marked by sue
cession of failures ever since the
discovery of cassiterite in 1881.
So far as gold is concerned, his
tory relates that when the early |
Spanish explorers came to Ameri- |
ca they were shown by the Indians |
rich nuggets and ornaments of |
gold which came from the south
ern Appalachian region. Some of |
this gold is supposed to have come
from the Carolinas. In the seven
teenth century the Spaniards
mined for gold in Georgia, and at
the close of the eighteenth CEN
fury gold was discovered in Ca
barrus county, N. c. In 1925
vein gold was discovered in Mont
gomery county, and soon after
ward in Mecklenburg county, N C

bureau during the past spring
have been secured through the
untiring efforts of New Mexico's
efficient representatives in the
national congress, it being their
desire, as well as that Of the
immigration bureau, TO see
every family in the new state
supplied with a good assortment
of seeds, thus encouraging agri-
culture.
Those desiring a supply of
these seeds can procure same
by calling at or writing the i'm
migration office. The name of
everyone requesting seeds will
be taken and next spring a bet
ter assortment will be forward
ed direct from Washington.
Several thousand packages have
already been distributed this
Spring and next year every per-
son who has received govern
ment seeds will be remembered
with a supply which will insure
a first class garden in his or her
back yard.
1t has been suggested that a
return post card system, which
will enable the recipient of seeds
to send to the bureau Of immigra-
ton or to New Mexico's repre-
sentatives in congress, the names
of their neighbors who would
like to be put on the mailing list.
This would cause the most thor
ough distribution possible of go
vernment seeds and would ena-
BILE practically every citizen Of
the new state to get what is com
ing to him from Uncle Sam.

1t is apparent that most Of our

certain bacteria be found in the

urally they must be put there.
This planting of bacteria is call
ed 'inoculation. The best and
safest method is to secure dirt
from a successful alfalfa field.
This dirt should be sowed over
the field at the rate of 200 to 300
pounds per acre, upon a cloudy

It is quite important that alfal-
ia be sown on land that contains
some stored water. This enables
the young alfalfa plant to push
its roots down with rapidity dur
ing the first season, and a good
foundation is laid for the devel-
opment of an extensive root sys-
tenn, which is important if alfal-
ia is to flourish under our dry
land conditions.
If alfalfa is sown on soil that
contains no stored water, then
the plants will be stuhted the
first season, the top root will not
develop as it should, and the
crop may be shortened for sew
eral years.
