It is undoubtedly the only bridge of agate in the. world and alone is worth a Jong journey to see. The Iudians of the southwest used to risit the petrified forests frequentzy to obtain agate for their arrow and spear heads, and the material was scattered over the entire continent by exchange between the different tribes, from the isthmus of Panama to Bering strait. The great deposit here explains where all the arrowheads of moss agate came from and other weapons and implements of similar material that are found in the Indian mounds and graves of the central and western states. In the stone age the agate of the petrified forest was the very best material that could be ob1d peace Or tut-aJvanlements of war ~ knife could be made very easily from one of the chips of agate and could be ground to-a very fine edge. Many crystals were used for jewelry and ornaments also.—Chicago Record. —AT— ‘ Armory Hall, Nevada City, -—ON— Wednesday Evening, Nov. 29, Under the auspices of the Ladies of St. Canice Catholic Church.
