A Toltee City Uncovered in New
Mexico.

Fort Davis (Texas).-A strange
discovery has been lately made by
a surveying party OF the Kansas
City, Ii Paso & Mexican RAILROAD,
at a point in Southern New
Mexico, not very far from Las
CruceS. Here, amid n tremendous
lava flow, n yeritable sea Of Obsidian
or black glass, n hidden city has
been discovered. 1t is probably Of
TOltec origin, a race Of peOble who
lived and died before the new world
was thought Of. The surrounding
country is the most desolate' and
God-fsrsaken region one can
imagine. There Is no soil about il.
The Olsidian, molten and black,
at the moment OF cooling evidently
became agitated, for il now lies in
ragged waves and pillows Of fan
tastic shape, some Of the ridges from
twelve 10 fourteen feet high and
capped like the sea waves with a
combing crest OF greenish white.
The action of the winds and ele-
ments II mean the dry, parching
blasts Of tremendous force) have
literally burned some parts OF this
region into powdered dust
At the northern extremity, where
the unknown city lies partly un.
covered, the ruins Of gigantic stone
buildings peer forth into the Light
of day. Some Of these buildings are
simply tremendous. One which ap.
pears to have been n sort Of amphi'
theater or coliseum covers about
four acres, and was certainly con,

fights or athletic sports, the same a:

United States government TO be-
come the purchaser Ii is the great
artificial hill at Cahokia, in St. Clair
County, Ills, which is the most
stupendous memorial left by the
prehistoric people called the mound
builders. The hill has m. altitude Of
l02 feet, its bIse covers. sixteen acres
aud it contains at least %, 900, 900
cubic feet Of earth. Says Mr.. Ramey
in his letter 10 Senator Cullom sug-
costing the purchase OF the gigantic
pyramid by the government:
alt is parallelOgram with
straight sides, the longer Of which
are north and south. The top Of the
mound is fiat and divided into two
parts, the Northern end being four
or five feet higher than the south
ern portion, the summit containing
one AMI one-half acres. On the
southern end, some thirty feet above
the base, is a terrace or apron con-
tanning nearly two acres Of ground.
In the middle Of this terrace ut the
back Of the mou8 is q projecting
point, apparentlythe remains OF a
graded pathway to ascend from the
plain to the terrace. On the western
side, and about thirty feet above the
southern terrace, is another terrace
Of somewhat less extent. The side
Of the mound below the western ter
race Is very irregular and forms pro
jecting knobs. To the northeast cor
ner Of this large structure there
seems to bea small mound attached.
The remaining sides are quite
straight. Cahokia is the largest py-
rafnid in the world, surprising the
pyramids Of Egypt in size"
