I have here some of the ash bed these bodies were buried in, which 
shows one inch thick in the soil. Also some splendid specimens of char- 
coal. The crania in general from this mound are in a miserable condition. 
Just one-half of this conical mound has been destroyed. I may yet 
obtain more valuable information when the remainder has been destroyed. 
Would that I possessed the same; I would restore and fence it about, let 
blue grass reign supreme, erect a suitable monument to these solons of the 
copper age, which could be readily seen from the C. H. & D. R. R., being 
not over 100 feet from the track; but alas, there is too much profit in the 
gravel, and man of this flying machine epoch must have the cash.

The International Society of Archzeologists, of which I am an ardent 
member, is taking up the Science of Archeology and spreading it all 
over the world, enlisting support everywhere, and hope to do away with 
this wholesale destruction of the monuments, thus preserving them for the 
care and study of future generations,
