FINE ARCHAEOLOGICAL
COLLECTION IN EtK0
Presented to the Y. M. c. A
by DR.. West

Few of Elko's citizens are pro-
badly aware that a fine archaeo-
logical collection was recently pre-
senied to the Y NJ A by DR. West
of Elko. IL you have not exam
ined it do so at your first oppor-
tunity. as it is well worth inspect
ing.
This collection contains several
perfect arrowheads from the state
OF Illinois. 1t embraces several
varieties, composed Of var
ious materials. all Clipped care
fully by a populous race with in
finite pains.
The bird points" of semi-prec-
ious stones are highly interesting.
They were used by the Indians of
California, Oregon, and Washing
ton, to shoot the silver horde
of salmon.
There are several stone axes of
various weights and dimensions, to
which the primitive Indian fastened
a handle by means of thongs of
deerskin. The collection of "celts"
are highly interesting. They are
commonly called "skinning
stones" and were used to take the
skins from the animals slain in
the chase.
Part of this collection came from
a cave near Lovelock. A few
years ago this cave was opened,
and a rich deposit of guano discov-
cred, of commercial value. In re-
moving this guano the skeleton of
an Indian was discovered, and near
1t a large basket, and water jar
filled with the effects of this Indian
chief, which his friends thought
that he he might find useful
as he %journeyed over the happy
hunting grounds. We understand
this basket and jar are to be found
in DR.. Vests private collection al
his home.
The contents of both basket anC
jar are to be seen in the collection
at the Y M c A, and consist of
string $50 feet long made of wilC
hemp, and woven into a rabbit.
net. Besides this net there are bon,
avis used in sewing, and bone fsl
hooks. There are also some will,
decoy ducks stuffed with tule,-,
sort of flag that grows in marshes
The Piutes this prefix "Pi" mean
original Utes) tell an ~interestin,
legend regarding this cave nea
LoveIock. How a strange Indial
tribe came; walled up the cave
built fires in front of the entrance
and smoked the prisoners out.
Two rare Egyptian curios ar
found in this collection. They werp
presented to DR. West by Mr. Cha
Henderson Of this city. Mr. Hen
derson during his trip to Egyp
was presented with a mummy,
foot, and a sacred hawk. wrapped
in mummy cloth. His Egyptian
guide found both these curios a
ancient Thebes1 and gave them tc
Mr.. Henderson. At the least calcu,
lation they are 1000 years old, and
have been pronounced by antiquar.
ians as absolutely genuine. By all
means, after you have read this

ton at the Y NJ Z A, and boil
pleasure and profit will be the
result of your little journey.
