to its original appearance, and we shall
at last be able to see just exactly the
sort of place in which those famous
people who dwelt in inaccessible places
really lived
The dwelling which is to be restored
is known as MonteZuma castle. 1t is
located about three miles from the
abandoned military post Of Camp Yer
de, Ariz,. and is perched high in a shell
tering niche Of a huge limestone cliff
which towers up from the left bank
of Beaver creek. 1t is one of the larg-
est and finest cliff dwellings in the
United States and certainly the most
picturesque ruin in Arizona. A castle
this building must have been indeed
and well nigh impregnable one, too
when its ladders were drawn UP, for
1t is over forty feet Of perpendicular
cliff from the ground TO its founda-
tons Above it the precipice rises
sheer for nearly 100 feet more.
AS the tourist comes suddenly upon
this grand old fortress. nestled beneath
its protecting rim of grim, brown rock,

is indescribably weird. He seems trans

world, or set down far back in the cent
uries by some sorcerer's art. He almost
expects as he watches the shadows
play around the adobe walls of the
castle to see the 1.-the, active figure Of
an Indian appear, bearing his burden,
or the swarthy naked bodies Of chill
dren dart suddenly into view.
The precipice into whose walls this
human eyrie is built is an imposing
one-a fit setting for the quaint anti
quarian gem imbedded in its breast
1t is a much more pleasing experience
to look upon this old cliff than it is
10 scale it on an afternoon when the
SUN shines full upon it with blistering
heat Once attained, the building is
found to be composed Of five terraced
stories and measures forty-eight feet
In height. The walls are of adobe,
built much after the fashion of the
present homes Of the Pueblo Indians;
and entrance, as in these latter, was
originally gained from the top. The
roofs are constructed Of good sized
timberS set in the walls, across which,
trapsversely, are placed poles and
these covered with reeds and mud.
Twenty large rooms and eight small
ones in all are found in the castle, and
one can find interest and entertainment
for hours in exploring their recesses;
while out to the south and west
through the openings in the castle
walls, is spread a magnificent land
scape, Of which Beaver creek valley,
smiling with verdure, forms the fore
ground, with low. .undulating sand
hills and the stern Verde mountains as
background.
The upper terrace of the building is
rooted only by the projecting rock OF
the cliff, space of perhaps three feet
being left open between the top of the
outer wall and the rock above. From
two chambers in the inner wall Of this
terrace, the half-mummified bodies OF
