pink-cheeked Diana Kelsey curled up
within the curtained window recess
did not feel like talking just then.
Indeed, she was only too glad to be
hidden from sight for there were tears
in her eyes and she knew they would
be discovered by Bess Palmer If she
came near her; so, while her friend
went off in search of her. Diana con-
tfnued to brood over her troubles
which, as everybody knows, is the
best way in the world to increase
them, in fancy if not in reality.
To begin with-there had been so
much of hilarity going on the night
before that she had not slept well, and
her head ached. The new hat of which
she had expected so much, was not
very becoming after all. She was dis
appointed in this house party. 1t had
not come up to those of previous
years, even though it was made up of
nearly the same company. Worst of
all was the fact that Aida Goodrich
was to take the principal lady's part,
and Earl Raymond was to be the lead
ing man in the little play that was on
foot. Earl had been her stanch friend
and open admirer since their primary
school days. In all the little plays
which they had given hitherto, when
she was leading lady, he, as matter
of course, had been given the part of
leading man. Now, in the most am
bilious thing they had ever under
taken, for, with an audacity given to
youth alone, the club had elected to
play "Romeo and Juliet" now she,
Diana Wales, had been assigned the
unimportant part of Lady Capulet,

ing-glaSS, or knife. One old knife,
been placed a century or more ago,
safely wrapped In a buffalo robe, was
made in Sheffield and was one Of the
knives sent out by the early Hudson
bay traders. The Indians sharpened IA
steel knife with file, on one side of
the edge. The milestone was too
slow.
The village sites farther west are
more recent. On the Missouri river, at
the place described by Lewis and
Clark in their diary of the exploration
of the Northwest in 1905, Eat the bend
in the river where the river flows
west" was large village with more
than one hundred lodges. In these
more recent villages are found brass
arm-bands and bracelets, as well as an
occasional steel AK or fiint-lock gun.
Their Domestic Life.
The bones in the refuse heaps show
the Arickaras lived on buffalo, deer.
antelope, elk, rabbit and wild fowl as
well as on corn, beans and pumpkins.
Parched corn has been found in the
lodges at every village site.
Only sunken circle of ground like
an abandoned circus arena, but far
smaller, shows where one of the lodges
stood. A five-family lodge, built with
big timbers, may yield part of cedar
post almost rotted away, despite the
comparatively dry climate. Each fam
lily had It's cache-hole, or primitive
safety deposit vault. This was jug
shaped hole four to six feet deep, In
which valuables were hidden when the
family left home to avoid hostile In
dams or to go on hunting trip. The
mouth of the hole was covered with
sticks and leaves, so as not to be dis
tinguishable from the surrounding sur
face.
The burial customs Of the Arickaras
differed from those of the Sioux. The
Arickaras buried their dead In the
ground, while the Sioux left the bod
les of their dead, wrapped in skins, on
scaffOlds or in trees. The Arlckaras
buried from one to six bodies In "A,
grave, the body lying on the right side,
with the head to the north. Digging
was hard with the primitive imple-
mentS these Indians had, SO the graves
were small, and the bodies placed with
the knees drawn up. Scarcely any
grave contains anything but the skele-
ton. Little or no paraphernalia was
ever buried with the body, except an
occasional bead or band of brass or
copper, showing the contact with the
fur traders. The earlier burial sites
yield nothing but bones. The graves
were three to six feet deep, and above
the upper skeleton were placed slabs Of
cottonwood or ash or bundles Of will
low twigs, to keep wild animals from
digging into the grave. Other Indians
used fiat rocks for the same purpose.
There are thousands of objects in
the universlty's collection of Arickara
relics. The collection was begun in
1915, and as it grows the exact
knowledge of the life of these early
Dakotans increases.

and village sites, burial grounds and
battlefields of the Indians, collecting
and studying the relics of these first
settlers-or were they first, after all?
A find of hammer stones, arrow heads
and charred hearth stones in an old
soil layer two to six feet beneath the
surface last summer indicates earlier
inhabitants than the Arickara.
When the Indians followed the buff
falo over the Dakota prairieS, long be-
fore the white man came, there were
fifty or more populous villages along
the Missouri river. The early tribes
of Arickaras in the Missouri valley,
like Dakota farmers today, grew corn
and pumpkins, for the Arickaras were
farmers. They built lodges of poles
and willow thatch, daubed thick with
mud to keep out the searching fingers
of the billiards.. Their clothing was
made Of buffalo skins. The shovel
with which they dug their fields and
the trowel with which they spread the
mud plaster on the walls of their
houses were made from the shoulder
blade of the buffalo. Their arrow
points and knives were of flint or bone.
This was the life of the Arickaras be-
fore the first white traders came, be-
fore the Sioux Cor Dakotah) Indians
pressed by white settlers from Canada,
poured in from the north and east. It
was the stone age, when to make
hammer required days Of grinding and
working on some boulder found in the
creek bed, with an outline like that of
the tool to be made.
Fine Collection of Relics.
More than sixty skeletons of the
Arickara tribe have been unearthed
and are in the university museum.
Hundreds of hammer stones, arrow
heads, beads, bone tools and bone or
naments are also in the university col
lection of the Airckara relics. Even
the national government has not near
ly as good an Arickara collection. The
only two Arickara tobacco pipes ever
found In grave are in the university
collection. There are many fragments
of the earthenware pots or bowls used
by the Indians In cooking, and two en-
tirely unchanged bowls, which show
the kind of pottery work the ancient
Indians made.
The age of much of the material
found is problematical. but that
great deal of it dates back to the pc
Rod before 1850 is certain, for at about
that time the Sioux or Dakota Indians
began driving the Arickaras relentless
~ up the Missouri and to the west
ward.
The other Arickara village sites
show no trace of contact with the
whites. No article of metal can be
found In the most ancient locations.
Farther west, and up the Missouri
river, the excavations yield scraps or
copper obtained from the first traders.

How Bonanza Ore Bodies Are
Formed

The enrichment of ore deposits is a
most interesting scientific problem,
and during the last Is years the meth
DDS of such enrichment have become
fairly well understood. The study of
these methods has proved 10 be of
considerable economic value, for its
results have been successfully used in
the exploitation of many mineral de-
posts. The United States Geological
Survey, Department of the Interior,
has been active in the study of the
principles and methods of the enrich
ment of ore deposits and has recently
published report on the subject by
w. RI. EmmOnS-tnited States Geo
logical Surrey Bulletin 625.
The theory of ore enrichment may
be briefly stated as follows Mineral
deposits that are exposed to weather.

mosphere, of rain, frost, and other
agencies-break down and form solu-
BILE salts and new minerals that re-

dtions. In the course of weathering.
however. the ore of each metal be-
HAYES in its peculiar way. Deposits
of iron, aluminium, manganese. and
some deposits of gold and other
m etals may be enriched near the sur
face by the removal Of valueless ma
terial. On the other hand many of the
valuable metals. including copper, Sill
Yer, and less commonly gold. zinc. and
lead, go into solution and are carried
downward by rain water and rede-
posted. and thus parts of the ore
bodies may be enriched Most Of the
rich or bonanza" ore bodies of cop
per. many of silver, and some of gold
and other metals, have been formed in
this way.
Bulletin 625 describes in detail the
geologic conditions favorable and I'M
favorable to the formation of enriched
mineral deposits and gives a summary
OF the criteria by which such deposits
may be recognized. The natural
chemical processes by which enrich
ment is produced are fully described
and the behavior of each metal is
considered separately and is illus
trated by descriptions of practically
all its known valuable enriched ore
bodies
