The 1Ioquis OF Arizona.

The Moquis Indians Of Arizona, mum.
bering LOO, live in seven villages on the
tons of three cliff. or headlands that rise
more than 600 feet above the plains. why
they choose these unhandy places is O
mystery. On reaching the village, says q
recent visitor, one fins ones self on a fiat
ledge Of bare rock which extends out from
the main table nearly half mile in length
and from ten feet to perhaps three hun
dred feet in width. The sides are almost
Perpendicular. The most populous OF
these villages. Wslapai, is on the extreme
end Of the rocks, where the width is not
over one hundred feet. ALI the wafer for
all purposes is carried in earthen vee.elS
on the backs OF men and women from
spring near the foot of the mountain.
distance of nearly mile, whilelthe wood
is brought eight miles. Here these. peo-
pie have lived longer than they can tell,
even from their traditions, and hitherto
they have been averse to 8 change OF loca-
ton, Notwithstanding the difficulty OF
their necessary supplies and
the distance from their fields and herds.

Lower California, There is plant grow

species of dwarf cactus, which, when pro-
peryl reduced, makes the best kind OF

thousand dollars have been spent in try

but nothing succeeded until company
part of whom are old Comstocxers, fell
upon genius. who, for 500, completed
an experimental machine, which, in the
most rapid and effectual manner produces

pastures are but little utilized,
the few head of stock that Craze
over them making so little inn
preston that hay can be cut any
and everywhere. two oE three
rancheros claim n great portion
of the valley. but there is stii!
room for many more. Evidence
is abundant that at one time ag-
riculture was extensively carried
on, but the more recent settlers
have devoted their energies to
other pursuits, though the rich
soil and balmy climate invite the
labor and promise rich reward to
the husbandman. The low hills
surrounding the vale are but
sparsly timbered. but in the
higher regions of the Orc Blsnco

to come.
The town of Arivaca Is scarcely
beyond. the embryotic state, but
those most familiar with the va
ried resources 0f this favored
region are.most certain Of its fu-
ture prominence among the -four

In one respect it occupies a prom
insnce of which it and its project

half dozen"structurcs which at
present constitute the town, the
most prominent and neatly fin
ished is the school house. The
town site comprises section Of
land, Is divided into lots and
blocks, and is laid out In broad
streets and intersecting alleys.
A company has been form ed,
though not yet Incorporated,
which has charge of the town al

properly secure perfect title.

These sounds are taken as favora-
bic tokens that the incantatlons
have been successful, and that a
copious fall of rain will follow.
Then the robe is removed, and
the men and boys leap into
the pit, and each one brings forth
a snake. which he holds in his
mouth. Sometimes a man will
emerge with two or three small
snakes in his mouth. AS each
man ernerges from the pit with
his month full Of snakes he runs
at full speed down the almost
perpendicular side of the mesa
until he comes to the plain, and
there gently releases his captives
who at .once:takes to the grss and
quickly disappear. After the pit
has been emptied the men exam
inc the wounds on their arms,
breast and faces, anu if blood has
been drawn, they know that the
fangs of a rattler have entered
their flesh. and they lose no time
in applying the antidote.
The wounds inflicted by the
rattlesnake are very painful. The
rattler when provoked, is the
most savage of all serpents, and
will continue to strike and lacer-
ate an enemy as long as he is
within reach. Sometimes an old
snake with full grown iangs will
fasten upon the cheek or arm Of
an Indian and hold on until the
fangs are torn from his jaws.
Mr.. Mateer witnessed one of
these snake dances of the MOquIS
recently, and was horrifed at
the sight. He saw the blood
streaming from the arms and
breasts of the Indians, who bore
the pain with stole Indifference.
and seemed to take pleasure in the
infiction. They believed that
the more savage the snake became
and the deeper the wound, in
ficted, the more eopious would
be the shower. On the occasion
of the last snake dance the Indi-
ans if one of the villages refused
TO participate. For some reason
they believed the rain would
come down without the dance,
and while the other villages were
engaged in the ceremony, they
sat idly in their houses listening
to the noise and smiling at the
unnecessary trouble their neigh
bors were taking. Subsequently
they had good cause to repent,
for when the RAIN came sweeping
down from the mountains, II
poured copious flood upon the
snake -worshiping villages and
their fields, and passed around
the hereto village and their
parched corn-felds, leaving them
as dry as a powder-horn. The
result was that six of the seven
villages raised abundant crops,
and the other had to call on the
| Agent for government rations.
Mr.. Mateer was formerly q
resident of this city, and appears
| 20 be a truthful man, He was
spectator of the strange snake
dance, but witnessed it from a
safe distance, sitting on a wall
overlooking the scene.

called the " Snake dance. " The

gled for the possession Of this bit
of Eden in the vast wastes. At
the upper end of the valley grin
ming skulls and mouldering skele.
tons tell with voIceless eloquence
how the early Mexicans and
friendly Papagoes met and van
pushed the fierce Apache. Grand
Babuquivari, few miles to the
west, stands on eternal picket du-
ty and is rich with legendary as
sOciatiOn. Tradition tells that in
years gone by the Papagoes and
Apashes fought one c. ,-o.. .sto-
est battles at its base. An Apache
chief, high in the councils of his
tribe, from its lonely crest beheld
the humiliation and defeat of his
people. Overwhelmed with grief
and rage he cast himself from its
highest precipice, in view of the
victors and the vanquished.
Long since his body lies mingled
with it's mother earth, but his
spirit still hanuts the ragged crags
and in neither tribeacan there he
found warrior 80 bold as to tres
pass on the summit where wan
ders the unappeased spirit Of the
brave old shieftain. Such is the
legend, of its truth there is no proof
save that no Indian can be per-
suaded by any inducement to
ascend the peak.
Another historical spot is in
the Las Guijas mountains, which
constitute the northern boundary
of the valley. Here General Pes-
queira fed with his little army
when driven from Mexico during
the French invasion, and after
fortiiving his camp and erecting
buildings for the shelter Of him
self and followers, with the thrifty
spirit that characterised his course
in life, commenced mining for
the precious metals. It is said
that in one gulch he took out
S175,OOO in gold. Romance has
probably lent its aid to expand
the surn to these figures, but it Is
none the less true that these
gulches all carry placer deposits
and if water were at hand it is
beyond doubt that rich diggings
would be found in every ravine.
The ruins of the buildings erected
and occupied by Pesqueira re-
main to tell the story Of his occu-
pancy.
The first settlement OF Arivaca
dates back about one hundred
years, when it was occupied by
one Ortiz, who made application
to the State of Sonora, then pro-
prietor of the region, for grant.
Papers showing the application
are still in existence, but as moth
ing remains to indicate the grant
ing of the request, the valley and
surrounding country became part
~ the United States domain, un-
der the Gadsden purchase, in 1854.
For some reason, probably the
hostility of the Indians, the set
dement's were abandoned, and
remained unoccupied until the
mining operations connected with
the old Heintzelman mine Occa.
stoned the erection of mill on a
site near the center of the valley,
between the above named mine
and the mine at Fraguita, owned
and worked by the same parties.
