There have been discovered at from 90 to
40 miles below Eddy, n. NJ, the crumbled
remains of five different Aztec towns that
formerly contained, according to usual
estimates, Ii, 900 to 20, 900 persons. The
canyon near by, now filed with sand, for
merly furnished water. The remains of
an ancient canal had previously been dis
covered. Broken pottery, arrowheads and
stone axes prove the identity of the race to
be the same as that which when extin-
guished left peculiarly built towns in
north Mexico, northern New Mexico and
Arizona. They were people who built
towns in the hills for defense and farmed
the river lands. The discovery shows that
agriculture was carried on on the Pecos
by irrigation by the prehistoric dwellers
and dense population supported. Col
