Galena. The ore of lead occurs in V)eds, 

 ]iockets, and in true veins in coimection 

 with various geological formations in the 

 United States and in British America, be- 

 ing especially abundant in Illinois and 

 Missouri. The Indians of the Mississippi 

 valley, especially the mound builders, 

 seem to have prized this ore very highly 

 in the form in which it usually occurs — 

 masses of blue-gray, glistening culjical 

 crystals. It was probably valued for its 

 beauty, as was also the yellow crystals of 

 iron pyrites, and possibly had special sig- 

 nificance with the mound-building tribes, 

 as it is found among the articles placed 

 upon the sacrificial altars. In some cases 

 the heat, of the altar fires has been suf- 

 ficient to melt part of the ore, but it does 

 not appear that the Indians had learned 

 to make any practical use of the lead. 

 Squier and Davis found 30 pounds of the 

 ore, in pieces varying from 2 ounces to 3 

 pounds, on an altar in one of the Mound 

 City mounds in Ohio; and it is at times 

 found also on pueblo sites. Galena was 

 sometimes shaped into the simpler forms 

 of ceremonial objects, such as spheres, 

 hemispheres, cones, i^lummets, and boat- 

 stones (q. v.). Consult Moorehead in

Galisteo. A former Tano pueblo 1\ m. 

 N. E. of the present hamlet of the same 

 name, and about 22 miles s. of Santa Fe, 

 N. Mex. Identified by Bandelier (Arch. 

 Inst. Papers, iv, 122, 1892) with the 

 Ximena of Coronado, who visited the 

 village in 1541, when it consisted of 30 

 houses. Galisteo was the seat of a Fran- 

 ciscan mission perhaps as early as 1617 — 

 certainly in 1629 — and in 1680 contained 

 800 neophytes and a fine church; San 

 Cristobal was a visita at this date. In 

 the revolt of the Pue]>los in August of the 

 latter vear the Indians of Galisteo killed
