BURIED HOUSES IN MEXICO.
Rare Discovery MADE by Mormon
Archseologtsts fn the Gar

A dispatch from the City o. Mexic',.
Mexico, says: The party Of Mormon
archaeologists and students who lett
Provo City. Utah. nearly a year ago on
an overland trip 20 Valparaiso. Chit.
have arrived here. They spent some
time in the Garcia valley. i'm the state Of
chihuahua. where they mace some eN-
tensive excavations and explorations
OF ancient ruins which had never be-
fore been visited By archaeologists.
Prof. Ben jamin Cluff. who is In charge
Of the party, said: I'VE found great
number OF mounds in the Garcia val
lev, the date of which is unknown. In
the mounds which we eNcavated We
found some wel,-built houses made OF
stone. well plastored and most o. them
having cement doors. The houses usu-
ally consisted of two 10 four rooms.
though some Of them were larger. The
houses were always In groups or vii
lagos. never alone. The whole side of
the mountain had evidently been under
cultivation, and every ridge had a line
OF houses. In front al the side OF each
house We found wall or terrace from
one TO six feet high. which had been lev
eled and used evidently as a garden
spot Down the hiilsiGes and along ra-
vines We found these terraces at regu-
lar intervals. They had apparently
served as reservoirs for the valley be-
low. In the houses we found crockery,
stone implements and Invariably char
coal. I'm a cave we found some scraps
or excellent woolen cloth and also Of
flax or linen cloth. II is clear 10 us
from our Investigations that The cave
dwelers and the mound dwel,ers were
