HOMES OF CAVE JEWELLERS
RELICS OF PREHISTORIC RACES FOUND
IN ARIZONA MOUNTAINS.

Phoenix Ariz., Sept. 2O.-In the Sierra Ancha
Mountains of ella County in the central part
oI ARIZONA, a region of remarkable scenic beauty,
are ABUNDANT evidences of the occupation o:
races that far antedated any of the tribes now
known in the Southwest. Far up on the sides
or FULLY score of canyons are the ruins OF veri-
table cities, built in limestone clefts and shall
low caves where defence could readily be made
against the marauder In the pure, dry air Of
the region much of the timber flooring of the
several stored cement built homes of these an
clent peoples is still preserved, though of wood
that now is practically extinct in the South
west-a species of cypress not one tree of which
can be found to-day in the region for hundred
miles around.
Far above the cliff dwellings, on the very
ridges Of the pine covered mountains, have been
discovered a number of caves, probably of nat
ural origin, yet enlarged and followed by the
hands of men of now extinct One
of these caves. of L shape appears to have been
sacrifical temple for the walls scorchsd
and in some places the rock is almost fused by
the fierce flames kindled long ago. Beneath the
sand covered floor found large number
Of small urns filled with carboniZed bones of
human beings, who. possibly, had been offered
in sacrifice to some Molochlike demon deity.
Another cave. practically tunnel of cylin-
drical shape, has been discovered. running one
hundred feet or more into the mountain, endlhS
in well that the explorers did not care to in
vestigate, save by demonstrating it's consider
able depth by means of dropping stones into it
The latest discovery made only few
weeks ago by William McFadden, well known
cattle Behind large clump Of bushes he
found the entrance to cave of immense size,
which had been subdivided by the ancient peo-
pie into eighteen large rooms. At the extreme
end airshaft of artificial construction rose
to a connection with natural crevices far
above. The floors are of clay, hard packed and
smooth. In of the rooms was found hu-
man skull, possibly carried thither by some wild
beast in later times.
