ARCHEOLOGfCAE.

We were much pleased by receiving
visit, on Wednesday evening of this
week. from A. +. Bandolier, who has
twice been reported killed by the
Apaches in Sonora. He is employed
by the Archaeological Institute of
America, whose headquarters are in
Boston, to study the customs of the
sedentary Indians still extant, to To-
cate and examine the vestiges of abo-
riginal occupation from former times,
with particular regard to geographic
cal and Typographical features, and to
trace whether or not the distribution
of sedcntary population is uninter-
rupted from New Mexico to Central
America, and if it is, how it came to
be So Mr., B. has already spent three
years in the study, ana-he brought to
it an extensive knowledge of Spanish
documentary history as basis. In all
of the lands IN which the Spaniards
established colonies, great care was
taken to collect data bearing upon
their customs, traditions and history,
, and in some cases where missions ex-
listed, each day one of the Monks had
to make note of anything new that
came under his observation. One Of
the most interesting events in the ear
ly history Of Yucatan, and one. that
had never before received mention,

l GLIMPSE OF SANTA BARBARA,

A prettily written letter from a fair
correspondent. What place Santa
Barbara would be to dream away q
life in, a place like Claude Melnotte's
home, "shut out from the rude world"
SANTA BARBARA, CAL, May 6, 1883.
This little town by the sea, lies in a
valley, with foothills and mountains
round about, and the Santa Barbara
bay and islands in the foreground;
while mile or two back from the
town, and at the summit of the sloping
valley, rise the white walls of the sold
Mission" built hundred years ago.
The view is fine from here, but it is
from the bluffs and mesa lands near
the shore that the coast line can be
best seen. The graceful sweep of the
beach with its beautifully curved out
lines-every curve indicating some
pretty valley like our own Santa B&r-
bara-the islands looming up away
out at, sea, clear and distinct some
times, but oftener wrapped in a pur-
I pie haze. Then the beacht, The de-
light and JOY of all true Santa Bar
barenos. At low tide, what is more
eShilarating, more enchanting, than q
ride over its hard, smooth sands, with
waves breaking and surf falling in
cascades at your feet. .' '''
Santa Barbara has recently held its
annual Rose Fair" which has brought
together the products of her flower
gardens, and displayed them in COM
modious hall-a hall that ought to
breathe fragrance and beauty even
now, when its walls are dismantled
and glory departed. What carnival
of beauty it was! Fairly a wilderness
of flowers, arranged from. floor to cell
ing, in arches, festoons, and every
conceivable form; flowers in masses
and detached; flowers to the right of
you, left of you, and all round you,
shedding. their delicious perfumes.
Santa Barbara, too, holds Horticul-
tural Fair every year, when are dis
played mammoth fruits, and perfect
monstrosities of vegetables, grown in
this very charming climate; for we
have climate, too; climate to har-
monte with the landscape, and be
proud of. In fact, there is everything
desirable here, excepting bona tide
railroad 1--WE have prospective one),
and even railroad is not thought the
unalloyed blessing here that it might
be in a less favored place; for I am
told that one of Santa Barbara's charms
lies in its freedom from rapid transit.
And all this goes to show, l trust, that
we are.an exceptionally contented COM
munity, and appreciate our advanta-
ges. The advantages of fine scenery,
flowers, fruits, and balmy climate
unsurpassed for equable temperature.

The BELTS cabinet ofcuriosities has
a valuable addition,ia the shape of a
piece of Jasper, and carved piece Of
soap stone, both from one of the old
Toltec ruins on the Tonic. The piece
of soap stone is either an eardrop OF
the tongue of bell, Experts differ
in opinion-we believe it has been used
for an ear ornament because it lacks
the capacity for giving sound against

The Lieurances and Salter are down
40 feet on the Belgium. There is a
pay-streak RAINING down beside the
foot-wall, of sulphuret ore, which is
very rich, but small, and in places
broken. The vein is widening rapidly
and the perfectly even surface of the
foot-wall gives hopes of finding a good
body of ore.

generally buried by their comrades

les goes to show that the body was

The ruin referred to is on low
mesa, near the Pinal creek. and had
about hundred rooms in it. 1t was
not built as the houses Of the, Pueblo
Indians are, of adobes, and rising ter
race upon terrace, but was simply a
stone foundation, laid without mortar,
and surmounted by some sort of wood
en- walls, probably ocotillos, whose in
terstices were filled with mud. If
they had been of adobe, the walls
would be mounds; but there is no sign
of clay about them, and the interior
of the rooms is the same general level
as the mesa. 1t Is inconceiyable that
the walls could have been constructed
of anything but some light wooden
material, which, falling into humus
through the action of the atmosphere
during the centuries since they were
abandoned, have been blown away by
the wind. All of the roomsare square,
and the most of them about twelve
feet. On the western side of the
building there are thick walls visible,
in which the stones are all duarried,
have fiat surfaces and beds, and laid
as headers instead of alternate head
ers and stretchers. The building, un-
doubleday antedates the Eruption of
the American vandal (the Apache) as
pieces of Toltec crockery have been
found where MIR. Flandiu had done
some escavating. The outer wall on
the western side, has never been cut
through; if it were, under the debris,
would be found, we are assured, some
clue to the inner life OF the long silent
sleepers whose busy. hands left such
strange monuments of their industry
and communism.

1t looks to us as if the bridge across
Pinal Creek, would not stand the
freshets. The:central pier is so built
that floating logs coming down might
very easily be caught by one end be-
tween the timbers, and the sweeping
waters, rushing against the other end,
would give such a leverage that the
pier would have to go. The obvious
way to prevent such a casualty is to
plank the pier so that floating matter
cannot be caught in it, and that is
somewhat dangerous as it presents an
unbroken surface against which the
water would come with terrible
pressure.
