An Old Apache IIiding-PIace.
lBy telegraph to the Dispatch.l


Ell PAso, Tx, April 20-Some Next
can officials while in the interesting
region about Casas Grandes, in Chihuhua,
recently made a curious discovery near
a lofty mountain named Sierra Carcay,
which can plainly be seen from Casas
Grandes, and the summit of which Is for
several months in the year covered with
snow. Among the foot hills the travel
lers made a discovery which solved the
mystery Of the successful hiding and
escape Of the Apaches when, after each
murderous raid, they were holly pur-
sued by the military of either republic.
They found among these foothills natu-
raj depression Of circular shape half mile
perhaps in diameter. with perpendlcu-
lar walls several hundred feet high. 1t
was like an immense well of great diam
eter. Access was impossible except by
All almost imperceptble trail which ran
IN q slauting direction down one OF the
dechvities. The party with infinite trou-
bic made their way down into the valley,
for such it really was, and found abun-
dant signs of former Apache occupation.
The skulls and bones of probably one
hundred cattle were scattered about and
frames still existed wherein the meat
had been dried. In the centre of the
valley stood the remains of massive
stone building, evidently of Spanish
architecture
The valley itself was little paradise,
looking like a well-kept park, with clear
springs dotting the landscape here and
there, occasional clusters of trees, and
the whole expanse covered with flowers
and green grass. Deer and wild turkeys
were seen. Some Of the native Next
cans living within few miles of the
spot knew of the existence OF this valley,
which they called. after the lofty noun
tain name, simply the "Carcay," but
they had been taught from infancy to
shun the neighborhood on account Of
the imminent danger of being caught by
the hostile Apaches. This whole section
of country is full of the remains of
former Aztec occupancy and ciylllza-
ton.
