scribe some of tbo mined monuments
left by this prehistoric people in differ?
ent parts of tho state. Remains of this
people aro found In nearly- all parts of
tho Mississippi valleyi but in Ohio art?
particularly numerous, and have been
more thoroughly explored than hi most
any other state. They were noticed by
some of tlie earliest settlers and the in?
vestigation was extended nntll in 165C
tho fullest possible account was pro
pared by Squire and Davis for the
Smithsonian institution, and was em?
braced in tho first contribution of that
Institution to the publications of the
day. President William Henry Harrison
was an earnest student of the ruins and
wrote an interesting account of Fort
Hill at the mouth of the Big Miami a
few miles below Cincinnati. There
still remain portions of this fortifica?
tion which has l>ecu estimated to have
contained four hundred acres of ground,
but the majority of the walls
have long ago disappeared. For a
time afterward interest languished

Putnam, concluding with Chat of tbo
Serpent mound, which morrmnentis the
property of tbo Peabody museum. Tho
latest of all work douo by antiquarians
is that of Port Ancient, about thirty
miles from Cincinnati, where nculer tlie
auspices of the Smithsonian Institution
there wus found the other day an under?
ground walled burial vault containing
the remains of twenty-four persons, ull
evidently belonging to that race ethno
loglcally distinguished as ?he Mound
Builders,
Fort Ancient Is the largest of all tho.
remains of this peirplo that belong to
the common division of inclosures of
defense. It occupies a commanding
hill overlooking the valley of the Little
Miami for miles. It Is most fuvorubly
located for defensive purposes, being
protected by tbo almost precipitous
bluffs of the river on tho west, by deep
ravines on tho north and couth, at tlie
bottom of which How streams of con?
siderable magnitude, and which ap?
proach closely to each other toward tho
cast, so t hat only a narrow strip of land
remains, across which is built an em?
bankment from fifteen to twenty feet
high, and the ngo of which in attested
by the fact that upon it uro grmvhig
trees that are hundreds of yeers old,
nnd which most likely are all younger
than the date of tbo abandonment of
the works by tho Mound Imilders. All
around the edgo of tho bluff etctonds a
wall of earth, in sotno place? of earth
and stone, that varies in liorght from
five to twelve feet, und which at tho
time of their use were no doubt several
feet higher. A farm is located within
the walls of tho fort, which is in three
divisions, an upper, mi.Idle trod lower,
the whole embracing over a hundred
acres. In mnu3r places this embank?
ment has been broken through
by the washing of the ? waters dur?
ing heavy rains, and the walls at
these breaks are soen to have been
constructed with unusual care ns
though to provide against this wry con?
dition. Half-way down the southern
bluff are threo terraces as though In?
tended as landing places, nod there is
evidence that at one tlmo tlio water of
the river reached those potnte. It is
also known that all tbo rivers of tlie
state were once of much greater magni?
tude than they are now, and that tho
terraces found In all of them mark the
retrogression of tho waters. Bearing
this in mind and remembering that tbo
remains of the Mound Builders are all
upon the higher terraces wo have an
idea of the long time that must have
elapsed since tlie monuments were
erected. Tlie conclusions erf all anti?
quarians who have examined Fort
Ancient agree tbut it wus used for tlo
fense. There are on tho east tlie re?
mains of two parullcl roads extending
out from the great gateway of the in
closure nearly half a mllo that are gen?
erally considered as having lxx.ii used
for athletic contests as In tho running
games of Greece nnd Home, These
roads joined n* the farthest point by
circling around a mound Tlie site of
this fortification is OS well chosen for de?
fensive, purposes ns could have been, for
there is nono stronger in the Ohio val?
ley. There arc a number of openings
in the. walls that appear to have been a
part of the original design, nnd the dis?
covery of tmautltlcs of rotted timbers
has led to tho belief tho-t the openings
were onoo occupied by block-houses o?*
other structures of similar purpose.
Au interesting thing in connection
with this work is tho explora?
tion now in progress by tho col?
lectors for- the world's fair. The
work of excavating la being con?
ducted by Mr. Wurren Morchead, under
direction of Prof. l*utnam, of Harvard

stuiices so securely that though a thou?

decomposition had not all l>een absorbed

Another important fortification in the
Little Miami volley is along the river
mmth of Newtown, ten miles fnjm Cin
cinnatL Tlio fort Is 200 yards in di?
ameter, the interior walls being mainly
of stone. The western Bide is defended
by a deep ditch, while on the oust there '
is a twenty-six yard wide opening lend?
ing by a graded way to the alluvial lh>tr
toms, which at that time formed the
bod of tho Etream now half a mile dis?
tant. This way led out to motiuds and
other works, which upon excavation '
disclosed altars of stone four feet
square and weighing many hundred
pounds, one of which is in the museum
of the Cincinnati Natural History so?
ciety and others in the Peubody mu-'
scum. The upper side of each ono is
drilled out to the depth of several Inches

Mining for precious and ornamental

the last t/wo years companies have been
formed to mine for them either sepo-r
atelj- or incidentally to the search for
gold. Emeralds have been mined to a

North Carolina; and some beryls lurro
been discovered in Colorado, nt New
Milford in Connecticut, and at Storto

Accordingly, all except an insignifi?
cant part of the preci?nis stones lx/ught
in this country are imported, and tlie
demand ls increasing. Tlie value of tlio
imports from 1870 to 1?7'.> was less than
?27.000,000, and between I SSO and 1S-S0
it was more than 687,000,000, >>r more
