I have here some of the ash bed lhe.se 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 ai-e 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. 



KINSLEY MOUND. 



1. This part excavated. 



2. This part left intact. 



3. Three bodies were removed. 



The International Society of Archfeologists, 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,
