AZTEC MUMMIES.
Dried for Centuries in the Wonderful
Air of Lofty Mexican Caves.

Dried for Centuries in the Wonderful
Air of Lofty Mexican Caves.
From the San Francisco Examiner.
Sig. S. Marghieri, the well known arch
biologist, discovered and explored a her
metically scaled cave, at an elevation of
nearly 4 900 feet on the eastern side of the
Sierra Madre mountains in Mexico, about
200 miles south of Deming, between Corali.
tos and Casa Grande, about two years ago.
The floor was nearly smooth, the sides rough
and rugged, and the vault covered with
stalactites. In the far end of the cavern
were found four desiccated human bodies.
The bodies were found in sitting posture,
with the hands crossed on the breast, and
the knees approaching the chin, with the
head inclined forward. They were care
fully shrouded in their burial garments,
and placed facing the rising sun. The male
and female were seated side by side, The
elder child, a boy, was at the right of the
father, and the younger child, girl, at the
left of the mother. In addition To the flu
neral shroud, the little girl was enveioped
in the skin of an animal, similar to the
method used in the island of Fuerue Ven
tura, the better to preserve its tender frame
The floor Of the cavern and the remains
were covered with fine dust, but no foot
prints of man or beast could be found. The
bodies were carried to San Francisco by
Sig. Marghieri, and were purchased by
j. z. Davis, president of the board of trus
tees of the state mining bureau, and by
him presented to the bureau.
No embalming process was used in the
preservation of these bodies. They were
dried by the air alone The bodies are not
like those of the Indians of the present day
because the fingers and hands and feet are
smaller than the average, and the woman'i
hair is brown and silken and of the Cauca-
sian type The body of the man must have
weighed in life from 1870 to 200 pounds, but
it now weighs only fourteen pounds, while
the body of the woman weighs only twelve
pounds. In the lobe of each of the small
and well proportional ears is piece of hol
low bamboo or reed as an ornament. Tn,
woman had large forehead and well-de
veioped reasoning powers.
The little boy weighs but three pounds
and the girl only four and half pounds.
The burial shrouds on the bodies are com
posed chiefly of cotton, hair, hide, grasses
and the bark of willows.
The bodies may now be seen at the rooms
of the state mining bureau.
