Dozen of small skulls believed to
be those of Aleuts, stacks of clam
shells, packed solidly fo* 12 feet in
depth, baby toys consisting of dolls
made of ivory and bone, bone needles
and primitive cooking utensils, the
ruins of hundreds of sod houses,
these are hut a few of -the many in
teresting relics and sights to be seen
in an old settlement near the Sul
phur springs in Moller bay.

rvals in Seward, as told by the na
tives in that part of the country is
that the Interior Indians many years
ago swarmed over the Westward dis
trict killing off the entire village. It
is said that dig where one wishes in

bring to light interesting relics of I
the past.
