Luxor, Egypt. Jan. 9th. Fifty million
dollars is said to be a conservative estl'
mate of the intrinsic value of the trea'

most Of the treasures found, carriages:

Let, robes and jeWeled necklaces. pre-

stools, have no unitarian value.
Vases and Slippers.
Two notable exceptions. however. are
the series of aIabaster vases, which are
as stronl today as when originally cary
ed, and the solid gold slippers ornament
ing the feet Of two of the life size sta
lures of ut-Ankh.Amen.
But while most of the treasures nave
lost much of their ultjlitarian value ow'

is as plentiful in the tomb as IN the rich

The huge outer shrine is covered thick
~ with gold, and the dimensions OF the
shrine are approximately seventeen feet
long. twelve feet wide, and rfae feet

gold on each side; 1913 square feet on the
back and front, respectively, and 2O4
square fees on the curved roof; alto
gether TBS square feet of pure gold on
the exterior of this shrine alone. The
same amount is on the inside.
The second shrine is fifteen feet long,

The third shrine is thirteen feet long.
