A. mono- the f'rst thines which the beginner finds is that in such rlfivev soil as is found in Cass county, black marks the spot where Indian treasures are nuriea. Along the side of the road a care ful observer may often make out where the grader has cut thru squares of black soil, which end abruptly in the more yellow clay. Soil that has blown or washed to fill up the diggings of the Indians, since it is the top soil, is black and more loosely packed than the ages old clay earth surrounding it. Supply of Water. TWs that sound simple? Well, it isn't. In the first place, the Indians didn't just choose any old spot for their homes. Thev wanted to be sure of a supply of water; they had enemies from whom they had to protect themselves; and they needed stones and flint for their tools. These things have been learned by digging into their houses. Yet no one knows who they are or where they came from or where they went. Let's go out to Cass county and watch the digging for Indian relics. Along the flat land near Weeping Water stream east of Nehawka Is the site, out in a cornfield.

They have a trench dug around the outer sides, and are now digging slowly toward the floor of the house, where the spec imens are found. Dr. Bell and Dr. niinmve walk around inspecting ! carefully each thine which might j point to a find. Find Floor. A worker shouts. "Here is a post hole." That means that he has reached the floor, and found a spot of black soil. Once the black top ' 1 : nn.l tha riicrcrintr layer is icuiuvru, mm reaches the yellow clay, workers know they have found the floor of the old dwelling. Then they are careful. When they find regular black spots in the clay they know thov haw found r cache nit or a post hole, at least some place that the Indians hari to nig neeper man the floor of the house. Digging out these post holes often yields charcoal, which falls to pieces, but which was once a timber to support the roof. Near the outer line of post holes, work ers find eharrea remains or mai ling. This was made of reeds and grasses, and was probably the sleeping mat of the older Indians. Now and then a pot is found.

Near such spots the Indians prob ably spent much of their time, and would be likely to leave their uten sils and treasures. Discovers Pottery. Finding just such a fired bit of clay recently. Dr. Bell started scraping with his trowel. Soon he struck something hard. He took a small paint brush, and rubbed away the loose dirt to find a small hit of notterv. Carefully he lifted off the cover of soil. Two marks appeared on the surface of the piece. This made it a find, and a very interesting one.

But a pot or uten sil that is decorated makes me nflmp more thrilline. for the dec oration may mean that the Indian had a high culture ana sense vi art. More important, it may indi cate the work of another tribe or region and mean to the economist that these peoples had a wide trade area. With paint brush and trowel, Dr. Bell probed at. the partly ex posed piece of -hardened clay. Around him had gathered the workers, some interested, some glad for a rest. There was a pro fessor of economics who saw in the pottery a chance for an epoch making discovery. There was a young student of archeology who could hardly wait to get his hands M tho snpr'imen. Dr. Bell and Dr. Gilmore were excited, too, for it might be that the pot would come out in one piece which seldom happens. It might show them much of the life and cultural hab its of this people. But to some of the unprofes- I sional watchers the piece of pot- i tery meant little in itself.

Tho the pot was broken when Dr. Bell unearthed it, there remained a Some few feet away, buried an equal distance from the surface, me arcneoiogisi ture upon a two-inch bit which fitted exactly into the side of the first fragment. Once this was a large, squat bowl, with small rounded handles. Further digging revealed many flint pieces, which had probably been quarried out of the nearby limestone cliffs along the stream. Polished bone hoes were revealed, and tools of stone. A stone pipe was found, which had some of the cake yet in the bowl, and which apparently had been smoked with out a stem.
