233

of spear & arrow heads. They lay in a body occupying a space of eight inches in width and eighteen in length, and at one end about a foot from the surface of the earth, and eighteen inches at the other, as if they had been buried in a box, and one end had sunk deeper than the other. They appear never to have been used, and are of various lengths, from six to two inches; and have no shanks, but are in the shape of a triangle with two long sides. The walls and mounds were thrown up by dirt taken from the surface, and not from any other place. 352.

"General Walker, in digging for salt water, on Long Creek, or? Salt river, fell upon an ancient well, carried down a solid limestone rock, twelve or fifteen feet. Petrified buck horn, & earthen ware, were found at the bottom. Earthen pans or dishes, which would have held three or four gallons, were found. Some were lying about the old well; mouth, and some with the dirt thrown out". p.355.
