Ainerioa.
Perhaps the IH">1 beautiful rim> in
the collection is u miquotse necklace
rot p teres and four iwudunt#
tlu* only complete specimen of such
a necklace known. 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.
