FOUND A SACRED LAKE
GOLDEN ORNAMENTS RECOVERED
FROM eUATAvlTA shoWN.
Treasures That Were Thrown Into tho
Water by. Indians Of Colombia, in
Their Religious Rites, Cefore
the Spanish, Conquest.

Scores Of antlquafians and others
interested in the races thar inhabft.
cd the American continent before the
coming OF the white man visited the
assembly room at the Waldorf.Astoria
hotel TO see the relics recently taken
from tho sacred lake Of Gua.ayita,
near Bcgota, Colombia. and brought to
New York by Mr.. Hartley Knowles
Of London, the New York Herald re,
ports.
Tho story Of the finding of the rel.
ics, which consist OF gold ornaments,
emeralds and pottery, reads like q
romance, Ever since the Spaniards
conquered the Indian race that iu-
habited the fertile plateau in Colom-
bia efforts have been made to re-
cover treasures sunk in the lake each
year by the Indians as religious
rite. Spaniards undertook the task,
but draining the lake was too difficult
for them, Another determined at.
tempt was made IN 1922 by Capt
Charles Stuart Cochrane. an English
British corporation was formed, and
It tunneled the mountains and drained
the lake. 1t has now begun to mine
the relics buried deep in the mud.
Lake Guatavita is almost in the cen.
ter of the Great Andean plateau that
was the home Of the Chibch Kingdom,
composed Of Indians who lived by ag
ricrlturo and who had civilized form
OF government, One of their cities,
UsaGuon. Is said to have had more
than a million inhabitants.
The Chtbchas paid homage to two
gods. The sun was the bene6ocnt
deity, and the antithesis OF the sun or
evil spirit they believed was huge
serpent, which lived In the center of
lake Guatavita and which when an.
gered brought storms. drought and all
the other evils which sometimes af-
flict an agricultural population, There.
fore. though they hated the serpent.
they pretended to worship him and
sought to propitiate his wrath By
gifts.
-Four temples TO tho serpent stood
on the hank Of the lake, which Was
only mile across, but very deep.
Once year q. great feast was given
the serpent devil The chief cere-
mony consisted or casting gold or
naments and other precious objects
into the center Of the lake. where
the god could get them. The excel
center was found by stretching two
hide ropes in the form of cross, from
the four temples, Rats were then
propelled toward the center Of the
lake. amid the din of musical instru-
meats ard the cheering of the multi
tuda. One raft was occupied by the
ruler, whose body was covered with
gold dust when tho precious objects
we're dumped overheard the ruler him
self jumped iuto the lake and washed
off the gold,
The first Spanlards to visit the coun.
try witnessed these ceremonies, and
the practice gave rise to the Spanish
legend of I'll Dorado.
