Everywhere about the valleys of
New Mexico, invariably upon emf
neuces, and usually upon high flat
topped mesos or table hills, are the
ruins of houses of the ancient semi
civilized Indian population that lived
there and titled the soil before the COM
ing of the Spaniards, four centuries
ago The numbers of this old popu-
H can be only vaguely inferred by
THE numerous cobblestone foundations
of their houses, still well defined above
TN surface of the ground, and by the
dgbris of fallen walls which consti-
tute b5nbcSs, grass grown and inter-
mixed with occasional old stone uten-
sils and countless fragments of pottery.
This pottery when turned up by the
spade is found TO be as band
some and varied in color and as
fresh of tint as it could have
been when the village was de-
stroyed or abandoned and every tra-
9;tiop of its existance lost in the prt :
t0ric past. He who could read the
&ude markings on this, all symbolical,
would have story of ancient Ameri
