PREHISTORIC SACRED CITIES MAY STAND IN OLD GLORY WHEN RECONSTRUCTION ENDS

CHILLICOTHE, Ohio, Sept. 25 A sacred city of the dead will look just as it did in prehistoric times, a thousand or more years ago, -when the program for restoration of the Mound City group of mounds, three miles north of here, is carried out. When , the mounds are reconstructed, they will be one of the greatest scientific and historical sights in the country, Ohio archaeologists assert. Through efforts of the Ohio archaeological and historical society, and Aling with the government, a practically bert Spetnagle, local merchant, workclear title to the territory where the mounds originally were, has been obtained. After the work of restoration has been completed, the place will be thrown open to the public as a park.

The mounds will be contained in an enclosure, consisting of about 13 acres surrounded by a three-foot wall, just

as a survey originally showed them to look. There were 23 mounds, and they

all will be restored, from the specifi

cations made while they were intact, including those of Squier and Davis,

who made the first authorized explor

ation of the earthworks In 1846. Open Mounds. The main Bart of each mound, in

vestigators found when they opened them, waa the crematory; in some

mound3. there were two or three.

Then there was found the receptacles containing the personal possessions

of those whose bones were buried

there many of these articles may be

seen in the Archaeological museum on the campus of Ohio State university in Columbus and the graves for the

bones.

The greatest finds, according to W.

C. Mills, director of the museum.

were made in Mound No. 7, which was

practically In the center of the city

This mound was 17 feet high. There was a remarkable collection of pipes

in it,- One of the graves in the earth

work was lined with slabs of pure mica, some of them a foot In diameter. When the grave was opened, Mills said, .thus relieving the pressure, the pieces of mica rebounded like they were alive. "The pliability of these things after probably a thousand years, was remarkable, "he said. Obstacles Overcome. The history of explorations in the earthworks is one of obstacles overcome and prejudices fought. After the Squier and Davi3 investigation, there was not an authorized exploration until a few years ago, and that, undertaken by Mr. Mills and H. C. Shetrone, curator of the museum, has just been completed. J?or 20 years, prior to that, the then owners of the land refused to permit any xcavations. Finally, when Camp Sherman was constructed, the land passed under control of the government, and a good half of the mounds were obliterated in the construction of the great soldier training center. Before the Mills- Shetrone investigation, scientists had to take at full value the findings of Squier and Davis, which, it was felt, were rather perfunctory. They held, among other things, that the prehistoric people who constructed the mounds practiced human sacrifice. These views, said Mills

and Shetrone, were absolutely with

out foundation, as far as they could ascertain. Scene of Exploration.

The mounds have been the scene of

amateur and professional exploration, however, for nearly a century, during

which time their original contour has I almost completely changed. The group will be restored as nearly as possible to the condition before the hand of whits man touched it. Work will be started soon, with the society co-operating with the citizens and municipality of Chillicothe. After being banked, piled and levelled, until it assumes its former proportions, the site will be harrowed and seeded, and landscape artists will be put to work. The land passes into the control of the Ohio archaeological and historical society in essentially the form of a clear title. After almost a year's

work, Mr. Spetnagle obtained what is

known as a "property license" from

the war department. This is revoc

able by the government, but precedent shows it is practically equivalent to

absolute possession. The ordinary, method of obtaining a land grant such

as tins from a governmental depart

ment is extremely difficult, and filled with technicalities, inasmuch as no

single department ia empowered to

give away government land holdings
