Ben Harriman was in from Long Valley last week and reports every thing well out
that way. He informed us that while riding over the grounds last summer where a
train of emigrants had been murdered years ago near Massacre Lake, he saw a
mound attracting his attention by its peculiar color and on removing the earth
the bones of a human being were unearthed. Several skulls and jawbones were
found, the latter with teeth intact. Charcoal was also found in the mound and
other things in use in times long ago. He says that there are six other mounds
there and later on he intends exploring them. Whether these mounds contain the
remains of whites or Indians remains to be proven, but as the massacre occurring
at that place it is probable that they contain the remains of ill-fated
emigrants.
