A newspaper and . newspaper editor, says the Las Vegas Optic that people don't talk about and sometimes abuse, are rather poor concerns. The men and business that an editor sometimes feels it a duty to defend, at a risk of making enemies of another class, are often the first to show their ingrati- tude. The editor who expects to receive much charity or gratitude, will soon find out lis mistake, but he should go on and say and do what he conscientiously thinks right, without regard to frowns, smiles and in Limitations.

Among the Cliff Houses.


 family and G. W. Wells and family, on Thursday last spent days out ing among the cliff houses, in q canon about nine miles from Gal lup; canon which may properly be named "Hcmlock canon," 1T m 8 number of magnificent hcmlock trees that were found growing at the uppercnd.
 A The canon is located about six miles north of Delong & Sawyer's ranch. Our road, after passing Through the gap near Delong& Saw yer's follows the San Juan road un- til about one mile north of John sons ranch, where wc!turned to the left and entered a side canon, not more than two thousand feet wide at it's mouth. Just as we enter thi~ canon, under large pine tree, and perhaps one hundred feet above the valley, is a spring that furnishes water for number of Navajo ho- gans. The mouth of the canon is fenced in, and as we drive up 1t h. dian corn fields are passed at inter- vals, some of which are quite large. The walls of the canon, precipitous at an times. grows higher as we proceed. The valley; where not in cultivation, is covered with dense mating of grass, in many places resembling 4he blue grass pastures of the east, where stock has not been allowed upon them during the pc Fiod of their growth.
 Our dinner camp was made un- der the overhanging branches of a large red cedar tree, on carpet of deeply matted grass. Above us, but accessible, was cliff house, built in a crevice of the cliff. The en- trance to this prehistoric building was quite small, but large enough to enter readily. Inside we found a three cornered room, theIongest side about f2 feet, the end perhaps seven feet. Hln reekE ssas. Refes 5sl b t f5o sides, the mountains furnish the wall of the third side. A small peer-hole looked out into the valley. The walls made of small stones, laid in abobe mortar, were remarkably true, the one cor ncr being as true an angle as could be built by a modern mason. The room was about six foot high, but was filled up for couple of feet with debris.
 Below thls dwelling was the ruin of another, built 1t tile level of the valley. and now entirely in ruins, only a small portion of the walls being visible.
 h small side canon, opening into the main valley, but a few rods away, we found three more cliff dwellings, in back room of one of which we found a branded hide, evidently of a two year old animal the hide was branded with the let ter "R," and was evidently the re- sult of NaTajo thievcry.
 Near these cliff dwellings a rock was covered with the print of hands ia different colored paint.
 Above our dinner camp we. saw three cliff houses one of which was not more than two feet high. These were all inaccessible being, high up in tho walls of the canon.
 Near one of these dwellings, on an inaccessible stone, is what ap- | pears to be inscriptions in some strange hieroglyphic characters.
 The canon is about four miles long, and one of the most pictures quo in scenery ofany the writer has seen in New Mexico.-Gallup Reg ister.
