May Be In Labrador

Halifax, Nov. 2o.--William Wash burn Nutting, whose motor yacht, the Left Ericsson, has been unsuc- cessfully sought in North Atlantic waters, may be studying the natives of northern Labrador.
 This possible solution Of the dis appearance of the New York news paperman and his three companions was advanced today by Rufus W. Sweet, of Goldenville, N. B., who talked with Nutting in Julianhab, Greenland, two days before the Jeff Ericsson was scheduled to set out upon her perilous North Atlantic voyage.
 "Nutting told me" Sweet wrote to the Halifax Echo, that he intended to make for the northern part of Labrador and have a look at the natives on his way south. He planned to reach Nova Scotia early in Oc- tober."
 Tn the event the men landed In northern Labrador. or possibly were picked up by an outward bound whaler, Sweet believed they would be beyond the reach of wireless and be compelled to wait considerable time before getting in touch with the outer world.
 The Jeff Ericsson was well built and seaworthy, Sweet added.

MARVELLOUS RELICS OF THE ANCIENT INDIAkAq Rare Pieces of Jewelry Found in Site of New
 Mexico City

Washington, Nov. 20. v A great array of art objects and domestic utensils shedding light on the life of an early metropolis Of Indian America has been brought to Wash ington from Chaco Canyon, New Mexico where Nell NJ. Judd has been exploring the Pueblo Bonito a pre- Columbian apartment house."
 The expedition was under direc- ton of the National Geographical societ yand the results today were described as amazing" by the so- ciety's headquarters. One of the pieces of Jewelry unearthed is a tur- quoise neckless of 2,5Q0 pieces and four pendants. Jewellers expressed great admiration at the method by which the Indians ground. polished and bored the tiny pieces. The four pendants are remarkable specimens of deep blue turquoise.
 Other objects of art in the collec- ton are perfectly rounded jet rings on which are mounted tiny carved turquoise birds. The mounting was done with pine gum, which has lasted through the centuries the rings lay buried in the pueblo ruins.
 Some of the closest woven and finest specimens of Indian basketry extent were also discovered. His torically one of the most important finds was a double basket unlike any hitherto discovered and which Is expected to furnish clues to piece out further the habits, cust oms and religious belief of the aborigines.
 Another piece resembled a mod ern woman's vanity box and sub stance of reddish clay nearly ap- parently was used as 8 rouge, but the explorers believe 1t was used by men, not women, for their beautifi- cation at dramatic religious cere- monies.
 There were many pipes, some re- sembling the large-bowl English models of today. Others were used to make clouds in religious cham bers. There were many kinds ot knives.
 The broad area of communication of the Bonitans was indicated by objects found in their pueblo which must have been brought from points as distant as the Pacific coast and the Valley of Mexico.
