WORK AT TOMB OF TUT CONTINUING
One Jewel CaSket Found Has
 Never Been Opened
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Luxor, Egypt, Dec. 29.-With the removal of the roof ofs the greai canopy over the Sarcophagus of Phar- aoh Tutankhamen, the next operation confronting the excavators is the dis mantling of the sides of the outer shrine. The completion of this task will virtually conclude the preliminary work of this season and Howard Car ter's men will then enter upon fresh discoveries.
 Hopes are high here that the second caslet, which the correspondent is contain one of those bewilderingly rich and beautiful finds of royal jew eiry with which the records of Egyptology are starred.
 The exquisite golden crowns, neck faces. bracelets, mirrors and daggers belonging to the princesscs of the Twelfth Dynasty. known as "T'ho Treasure of Dahshur," which are now in the Cairo museum, show what heights Of artistry the goldsmiths of that most fourishng era Of ancient Egyptian history were capable of at taining
 Such pieces of the jcwelry of Tutankhamen as the tomb has already given up suggest the workmanship of the eighteenth dynasty to be every bit at good as that of the twelfth, while it is considered more than likely that the royal insignia and personal orna- mcnt.s of q reigning king will exceed in splendor anything hitherto found.
 In their work on the canopy the eXcavators say they found nothing to indicate that the burglars who ran- sepulchre had in any wise tempered with the shrine. Thus, while it is dan gcrous to prophecy as to the contents of a tomb as an eminent archaeologist here remarked to the correspondent in speaking of his experience, it is con- sidcrcd not an oversanguine belief that the whole collection Of Tutenkha- mems jewelry will be found intact part Of it most probably when the sec ond shrine is opened in the immediate future.
 There is believed to be scarcely any doubt, either, that the workmanship will show q strong influence Of that odd naturaistic art movement that issued forth from the capital of Ak henaton, the hcretic king, Tutankha- mems predecessor and father-in-law, traces Of which already have been found in reliefs of boxes, chariots, etc. although thedecoration Of these was more or less hampered by convention. The smaller ornaments, such as buckles, clasps, amulcts and toilet in- struments. however, giving the imag- ination Of the artists greater scope, arc thought likely to reveal what eN- tent the Bizarre art of Tell Fl Amarna stimulated the craftsman Of Tutank- hamen's day.
