what appeared to be strong fort, the walls
OF great thickness, built of stone. He ira.
vcrsed it, and found it contained forty.two
rooms. In the vicinity numerous balls Of hard
clay, from the size Of bullet to that of a
grape shot, were met with. What was sim
gular about them was the fact that frequently
ten or twenty were stuck together, like a
number OF bullets run out of half dozen
connecting mouds, Or like a whole baking OF
rolls. II is difficult to say what these were
intended for. They we're so hard, however,
that the smaller ones could be discharged
from a gun. And now it remains for tho
antiquary TO explore this most interesting
region IN the very heart Of our country, and
70 say who were the people that inhabited it.
They may have been the ancestors of the
Aztecs whom Cortez found in Mexico, for
they were known to have come from the
north. Tradition relates that they sailed ont
from their northern homes, directed by their
prophets not to cease their march till they
came across an eagle sitting upon cactus
with a serpent in its claws This they found
where the city OF Mexico now stands and
there they established their dominion. This
legend is still preserved in the device upon
the Mexican dollar Some remnants of the
Aztecs still remained within few years past
at the ruined city Of Grand Quivera or Pc
cos, in the wilderness of New Mexico. Here,
in deep caverns. they keep alive, with rever-
entail care, the sacred fire, which was always
to burn until the return Of Montezuma 1t
only went out about ten years ago. when the
last Indian Of the tribe expired. II may be
that the Pimos, south Of the Gia, are an off
shoot Of the Aztec nation. left behind in their
march to the south. The Pimos, it is known,
are far superior to the Indians Of Mexico.
They raise fine cotton. and from t manufac-
ture all their clothing Would that some
Stephens or Layard would arise TO explore
the wonders that lie concealed within this
great basin, and bring to light the history Of
the strange people that once inhabited it =
