Excerpt from An Ancient Quarry in Indian Territory Mr. Jenney, while studying the zinc and lead mines of southwestern Missouri, had his attention called to a site located on Peoria lands in Indian Territory, and known locally as the old Spanish mines. A visit by him developed the true nature of the ancient operations, and demonstrated at the same time the futility of the search for precious metals at the site. I at once resolved to visit the locality, and late in October had the pleasure of beginning the study of one of the most interesting examples of our great aboriginal quarries. This quarry is situated on the Peoria reservation, about seven miles northwest of Seneca, Missouri, and some ten miles southeast of Baxter Springs, Kansas. From Seneca the Spot is reached by driving north ward along the Missouri border, for five miles, and then crossing the line and proceeding two miles in a westerly course through the forest. The country is a gently rolling plateau, with a gradual descent westward into the valley of Spring river, a branch of the Neosho, or Grand river, which falls into the Arkansas at Fort Gibson, Indian Territory. The forest which covers the region about the quarry is open, and con sists of a medium-sized growth of several varieties of oak, hickory, and other deciduous trees Geologically the country seems rather feature less, save for the presence of inty masses of chert that cover much of the surface and weather out in numberless rough fragments along the low ledges and terrace faces. Outcrops of this rock may be seen along the stream courses, but its gnarled and very forbidding appearance gives no encouragement to the advances of searchers for workable stone. It is only where fresh fractures are met that its true nature is discovered. Scattered over a wide range of country are seen evidences of ancient operations, and the refuse of aking is quite common, showing that the aborigines thoroughly explored the country before settling down to the one choice site in the trackless forests of Spring river valley.

Excerpt from An Old Indian Village Catalogue of Prehistoric Works east of the Rocky Mountains, by Cyrus Thomas, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D. C., 1891. But the greater observed frequency of antiquities east of the Mississippi river is to some extent due to a less complete knowledge of the western territory. A number of explorers have been at work in the eastern territory for more than three quarters of a century, while comparatively few have paid any attention to archaeological explorations on the west slope of the great central valley, and this for only the last few deo ades. This region has only tardily received the atten tion it deserves. There can be no doubt that future work will bring to light many more localities in the west where prehistoric man has left traces of his exis tence. Some recently made discoveries give decided promise that this will be the case. In the last few years Mr. J V. Brower has located some sixty hitherto unknown sites of aboriginal villages in the eastern part of the state of and others have te ported similar localities from the region north of this state.
