After We left Walpi DR.. Fewkes lei
the party down to the upper ella valley.
where We examined. other ruins and took
out more pottery. We discovered that
these people were exceedingly skillful in
the matter Of stone work. We found large
jars, made for the purpose OF holding water,
very similar to those in use by the white
inhabitants of the valley at the present
time. We also found many irrigating ditch
es, the lines of which are followed to the
present time for similar purposes.
sncriacial Cave.
1.-The sacriScial cave in the Graham
mountains. which We visited, was of re-
markable character. 1t was discovered
long ago by a man in search of buried
treasures, of which there is story told
in that neighborhood. 1t is extremely hard
to discover the entrance, as it Is very small,
only large enough for man to crawl
through, and is hidden in the rocks. malachi
or lava 1t had never been before ex-
plored by archaeologists. The cave goes
down about 200 feet with occasional step
offs. Sometimes the chambers are twenty
feet high, and in other places it is neces-
sary to creep along in order to pass
through. In the cave We found a rock
balanced In such a way. although it weigh
ed tons, that it could be moved by the
pressure OF the hands.
bounding the cave. We found offerings to
the gods which were placed there centuries
ago by the people who used the cave for
sacr.hcial purposes. These offerings con-
sisted of painted sticks. bows and arrows.
baskets and other objects. generally in
an excellent state of preservation, as the
cave is dry inside.
Smoke ON the Rock.\
1.-THE place had evidently been used often,
as we discovered traces of smoke on the
rock FROM the torches used in the cere-
monies, and the stones were snoothed down
by repeated entrance into the cave. There
are number of other caves of a sacriffcial
character in that neighborhood.
In the region We found a number of
carvings of figures in greenish stone. In

a well walled up with mortars. used by the
ancient people who inhabited that sec

CAPT. JACKS RIFLE.
Weapon With Which Candy Was
Killed Now at National Museum.


Killed Now at National Museum.
One of the most interesting relics which
has been presented to the National Mu-
scum for a long time has just been re-
ceived there. 1t is the rifle which Capt.
Jack, the notorious Modoc Indian, used in
his fight in the lava beds of southern Cali
fornia, and is thought to be the identical
weapon with which Gen. Candy was ruur-
dered while holding parley with the chief
under a flag of truce.
The rifle was cached in the lava beds
during the Modoc war, or just before the
capture of Capt. Jack. 1t was brought out
by Modoc Joe in the fall Of 1896, and pre-
scented to Charles Pitt, the Indian inter-
prefer of Warm Springs. Oregon. By him
it was given to N. C. Davis, special ex-
aminer Of the pension bureau, and sent by
him here from Warm Springs. Oregon.
The weapon Is still in fair state CT
preservation, and is of rather unusual
form. 1t has two barrels so arranged that
they can revolve, one being under the
other when ready to fire, one stock with
trigger and hammer doing for the two.
The clamp apparatus has been broken, so
that the barrels revolve now. and could
not be fired. on this account. The ball
used to fit the barrels is of about half an
ounce. The barrels are heavily riied, and
the weapon was evidently capable of doing
great execution. The barrels are unusual
ly long, and the whole must weigh sixtsen
or eighteen pounds.
In the stock, now minus paint, as if
gripped often by the iron fingers of the
ccffee-colored desperado. is a cavity, over
which Is brass lid. In the box thus
formed were kept the patches and
81 ease, the former to make the bullets fit
closely tn the barrel and the grease to put
on them. so they could slide easily down
the cavity. The rifle Is little rusty, hut
not nearly as much so as might be ex-
pected from its long exposure.
Lsr,or xr<,.7 ,r~ ~ . -
name OF the maker. John Shuler of Liver
pool, Pa The weapon is regarded as an
object Of great curiosity. 1t has not yet
been placed on exhibition.
