EARTHWORKS. 



At La Crescent are a great many so-called Indian mounds. Some have 

 been graded away, but many still exist. They are on the brow of the 

 drift terrace, or lower bench, and none are known on the upper, loam, 

 terrace. They are, as usual, in rude rows, and about three feet high, some 

 of them being four feet. When opened they have been found to contain 

 human remains of men of large stature, and it is said that in grading for 

 the railroad a copper skillet and other trinkets were found at the depth 

 of eighteen feet below the surface.
