ANCIENT CITY OF ENORMOUS Size
UNCOVERED BY AMERICAN EXPLORERS

Chicago, Aug 16.-(By The Asso-
ciated ess.)-Ruins of an ancient
city of great size, hitherto unknown
have been uncovered in Colombia by
the South American Archaeological
Expedition of the Field Museum OF
Natural History, Chicago, working un
der the leadership OF DR.. J. A. Ma
son.
The ruins of the city or collection
of villages, are in the province OF
Magdalena. forty miles from the Ca
ribbean coast and twenty miles, south
of Santa Marta, a portion of Colon
bia, now uninhabited and almost un
known to science.
1t is evident, the museum announc
ed today, that this was once one oil
the great centers of population of the
world, but today even it's name is
unknown.
Mr.. Mason sent the follow message
regarding the discoveries:
There must have been tremend
Gus population here at one time as
the country is covered with house
sites. The region is very mountain
GUS and the houses, which were OF
wood, were built on terraces with re-
tanning walls. In each there are en-
tering steps with beautifully cut stone
and if the main path is far below
other steps are built to connect with
it.
'The principal place where l have
been working has a staircase of As
steps, all made of nicely cut quadran-
gular stone slabs. Instead of the In
dian road of which | have heard there
are thousands of them all through the
mountains. They are apparently wide
roads connecting the main sites. All
| are paved with flat water worn rocks
| of more or less uniform sizes the
small paths being single line OF
| such stones while the important ones
are four feet or more wide and edged
with upright stones. When the way
ascends or descends the stones arr
| set as steps.
"On the side of almost every house
there can yet befound the metate, OF
| grinding slab on which the family
meal was ground from corn. There
| are quantities of unbroken pottery
mostly fragments of large undecorat
ed jars. Some were decorated will
relief ornaments and there is one sor
of very fine black pottery which il
incised or carved"
The ancient inhabitants of thi
country decorated themselves wit!
gold ornaments and buried there with
their dead.
The early Spaniards are known t,
have taken fabulous quantities of golt
from the ancient graves.
The specimens already received a
the museum include gold bells, smal
beautifully made gold figures and orr
aments of shell, carnelian and agate
The most valuable acquisition is
set of ornaments worn by a nativ
priest.

press determination to throw the full
support of the federal government be-
hind efforts for maintenance of rail
road service throughout the country,
chiefs of railroad unions continued
today their plans for direct settlement
of the rail strike.
Those chiefs, chairmen of the train
service brotherhood not on national
strike, still were pinning their hope
to negotiations they began yesterday
for a conference of the heads of the
striking shopmen and the railroad eX-
ecutives in New York Thursday from
which they hoped some sort of COM

would communicate with that body
late in the day.
Meanwhile rail chiefs kept up their
efforts to compose the situation in

ed walkout of train service employees
including the sending of kilograms
urging the men to return to work
and the sending of union representa-
tives to various points for personal OBJ
