Tin4 method by which vvthe Indiana ground down tlu;,, Uu\ pieces, and bored them out to be strung ou sinews, has won the admiration of modem Jeweler# who have seen it. The four i>cudtipt$ are ft-emurkablc specimens of jturquolse, deep blue, and with them. Mr. Judd said, he could have purchased every Indian horse in Sun Juan county. Jewels Mounted With Pino Gum. Other unique objects d'art are Jet rings, perfectly rounded, ou which are mounted tluy carved turquoise birds. The mounting was done with pine guui, the adhesive of the American ancient!, which lasted through the ages thf rings lay burled in tho pueblo ruins. To get these, aud other tiny pieces, the geographic explorers have sifted Ions of debris, after building a minis* tyro railroad, and set mule-drawn steel dump cars to work hauling out tne rubbish. Recovered by this tedious process are some of the closest woven and finest specimens of Indian basketry yet dis covered. To preserve these required the utmost dexterity, for Oftjsi\ upon exposure a zephyrllke breeze would dissipate the specimens. The hope of preserving them lay In waking them Immediately upon their exposure. . Historically one of the Important finds is a double basket, the like of which has hitherto been unknown in ruins other than cliff dwellings, and the use of which has not yet been de termined. It may furnish another clue to piece out further tho habits, cus toms and religious beliefs of rhese aborigines. Although they left no written words, nor even any plcto graph records that can be deciphered, they attained a civilization as interest ing as the early cultures along the Nllo and in Mesopotamia, yet distinc tive from all Old jVVorld peoples. Al ready the daily life of the Konlto dwellers has been pieced out patiently ]? great detail. Rouge Still Intact. "That object looks like a 'vanity box,'" remarked one geographer who viewed the collections. ''Not only that, but here is a bit of the rouge the Bonitans used," replied Mr. Judd, and ho displayed a lump of reddish clay, which still will color tho flesh. These "makeup" devices were used by the Iionltan men, however,; rather than their women, and they served principally for the beautifies tlon of participants In their dramatic religious ceremonies. Pipes also are <?in tho collection. Some of these were "pleasure pipes" resembling very much the short, large Wbwl Khglish models. Others resemble jcigar holders,,with flaring bowls, and | these wero used to "make clouds" in the Bonitan's kivas or worship cham bers. Objects ' which shed light on th? economic habits of the Bonltans are the fleghers, with Jet and turquoise inlays, used to remove llesh from the skins of animals; -flint knives, which are chipped down with Infinite skill and patience; and hone needles, used In sewing skins. The broad area of eommunlcalion of these ancient peoples Is disclosed by objects found in their "apartments" which ware brought froiu points as dis tant as the Pacific coast and the tsl ley of Mexico.
