Unearthed Egyptian
Tomb Reveals Treas-]
ures of a Mighty Past
Anaconda Standard.
The piUdm generally, and especially
prospectors who have spent their lives
toiling patiently up hill and dow n dale j
a search of surface indications of sub
terranean wealth, will read with keen'
curiosity of the amazingly rich find
near Luxor, Egvpt—Luxor being the ;
modern name of aacient Thebes. Here
the Lord Caraavon expedition has un
earthed a tomb, the antechambers to
which yield a Quantity of gold and sil
ver and precious stones cf an estimated
total value of $40.000,000. As told in
the dispatches, some of these treasures
lor the first time in more than three
thousand years saw daylight yesterday.
But the lollars-and cents aspect ot it
.s of secondary importance to the true
archaeologist who revels in such
things for their own sake as faseinat
ng relics of a mighty and mysterious
tiast. The statues, the tinely-worbed
precious stones, the chariots of ivory,
lapis-lazuli-and malachite, real chari
ots,-which had evidently bee" used,
driven by men and drawn by horses^
the royal couches, the crowns on the
statues, the wonderful throne, throw a
new light on how the Egyptians lived,
moved and had their beings 1,330 years
before the Christian era.
The Egyptian artisans and artists of
that remote day and generation were
no mean craftsmen- indeed they must
hav& achieved a skill that has never
beetisurpassed if one report is cred
ble, The special correspondent of the
'few York Times, who gives the world
the first detailed account of these dis
coveries, as an eyewitness, quotes Pro
fessor Breasted to this effett: “■The
pure, lofty estheticism and amazing
skill of the craftsmen show that the im
perial splendor of ancient Egypt was
far more delicate- and magnificent than
was imagined or equaled in the world’s
history, and that the gneatest crafts

men of ancient Greece were mere hacks
compared to the master who designed
and adorned the Tutankhamen throne.”
Possibly the professor’s glowing en
thusiasrn may cool u bit whep his crit
ical fat ulties reassert themselves in
their full strength: but certain it is
that this latest Egyptian lit,d is one of
extraordinary importance in the realm
o archaeology. Possibly it may throw
some light on the sojourn of the Israel
ites in Egypt, although, according to
the best authorities, it was some 70
years before this tomb was built, that
the children of Israel departed bag aud

Two darky t\pys in a Southern city

do they set you back for dem clo’s?”
“Fo’ty dollahs,” was the response.
“Fo’ty dollahs?”
“Yas. sab; fo’ty dollahs.’

The possessor of the foaty-dollar suit
took hold of one of the coat sleeves of
the ten-dollar suit and pulled on it. It
stretched. Then, straightening up, he
said:
“See here, boy; the first big rain yo’
