By C. H. Robinson, Normal, Illinois. On April 20th, 1913, an enthusiastic party of Bloomington and Normal men made an archaeological expedition to the great Cahokia mound group in Southern Illinois, which is located in Madison and St. Clair counties, about two miles east of the corporate limits of East St. Louis, Illinois. The location is easily accessible by way of the new hard road or by the St. Louis and Collinsville electric system. The great Cahokia, or better know as Monk's Mound, together

Located on Section 33, Dry Grove Township, McLean County, Illinois By Richard Thomas Robinson, Normal, Illinois May 8, 1912, at this place, my father found the barbed shank of a flint arrow head. Around this broken part of an arrow head were several flint chips. This led to a closer examination, which resulted in the finding of about three dozen pieces a flint core, and several arrow heads, some finished and several about half complete. Many trips have been made to this old camp site in the past

By Mark Piper, Bloomington, Illinois One of our most interesting trips was taken on May 18th, 1913 to Petersburg and Kingfisher Hill in an auto owned by T. R. Good. The party, S. W. LeNeve, Gus. Blumke, Chas. Robinson and myself met at the Court House in Bloomington, Ill, where Mr. Good met us at 5 a. m. with his machine. At about 10 a. m. we arrived at Bonnett brothers on whose farm we were to look for relics. We then made our way to the tops of some hills where there were indications of Indian

By W. B. Brigham, Assistant County Supt. of Schools. One day many years ago while working in the field, my father picked up an Indian arrow-head. He gave it to me as a play-thing and it was much enjoyed tho soon lost; leaving me with a sad heart but a deep longing to find others. Twenty years later after I had roamed o'er the prairies and worked in the fields less than six arrow points were garnered and some of these were obtained from schoolmates. Yet my fascination for these relics has increas

By Stanley M. East. Acting upon information furnished Mr. Custer by Mr. L. J. Freese, president of the Woodford County Historical Society. A number of members of our club made a trip on July 6th of last year to Spring Bay, Ill., to investigate some mounds on the farm of Mr. W. J. Eichorn. We were courteously granted permission by Mr. Eichorn to thoroughly investigate one of the smaller mounds. This was done both by surface examination and by making a six foot excavation in the center. Nothing ho

By Gus Bluemke April 20, 1913, a party of archaeologists from Bloomington and Normal Ill. visited "Cahokia" or "Monk's Mound" in search of relics. The weather was ideal and all who availed themselves of the opportunity were indeed well repaid in the success of the trip and also for the enjoyment and recreation which these journeys afford. Our party was composed of the following: Mark Piper, C. H. Robinson, T. J. Robinson, S. W. LeNeve, Miss Minerva LeNeve, Herman Cox and Milo Custer. A second tr

By Miss Edith M. Cox and Herbert Cox. At sunset on the first of August, 1913, we were at last ready to leave Holbrook, Arizona for Hopiland—almost a hundred miles northward from this point on the Santa Fe. The Indians—never in a hurry—had taken the greater part of the day in loading the three white covered wagons. Our party included four Hopis, one Navajo, a white man employed by the government and three white women. My friend Miss Nelson a missionary among these Hopis, was returning to her work
