Mummy Caves Of Arizoni.

The so-called mummy caves of Ari-
zona. from which mumnlies have been
taken, are said to be very interesting
and elaborate in their structure. One
is known as Mummy Cave Ruin, and is
in Del Muerto Canon, and known TO
the Navajos today as Tse-i-ya-kin. 1t
stands about 80 feet above the bed Of
the canon on the face Of the cliff with
a commanding view and is placed in
natural weathering. 1t is believed that
originally there were twenty rooms IN
the western cave, and fourteen can be
distinguished today. In the eastern
cave about forty-four can be distin-
guished, and it Is estimated that orig
inally the ruin represented ninety
rooms, affording home for possibly
sixty people Many of the rooms are
p feet wide and 10 feet across, and
were two stories in height. What Is
called the eastern cave, or the mummy
cave, is today a most picturesque ruin
and steps have been taken by the gov
ernment for its preservation. The
houses of stone are packed in under
the great cliff, where the stone has
weathered out and the falling ruin has
aided materially in forming the talus
that reaches down, covered with the
stones used by the ancient builders, to
the bottom Of the canon. Windows and
doors remain intact in many rooms
aud the stories can readily be traced
by standing walls. III these pictur'
esque ruins were in some valley In
Egypt they would attract the attention
Of thousands, but here they are visited
by the student and the scientific mer
alone aud by an occasional tourist VINO
