lagos Is that the inhabitants were driven
into the valley for water.
Some of the ruins were already as they
stand today when the Spaniards first en-
tered the country. Many of the present
pueblo villages of the valleys have we'll
authenticated histories reaching back GOO
to so years, and back of them must come
the mesa jewellers. 1t has been frequently
said that the inhabitants of the mesa and
cliff houses were the ancestors of the pres
ent valley Indians. But excavations and
the discovery of skeletons shows that they
were different race, their characteristic
being a long skull. while the present-day
pueblos are enthusiastically a short
headed people. However there is enough
of the old strain left in the valley Indians
to show that there must have been ex-
tensive intermarriage. and the traditions of
some of the pueblo Indians indicate their
mingling with the different and earlier
tribe of mesa jewellers. with whom they
were frequently at war

AAI creasing crowd of tourists and
wv casual travellers coming into
contact with the local antiqui-
ties that for more than a generation were
known only to narrowing frontiersmen and
adventurous archaeologists. The result has
been that many of the Indian and pueblo
ruins that have stood untouched by man
and but slowly affected by weather. are
being desecreted by relic hunters and van
dals Indian cave and cliff houses, old
pueblo ruins, and especially the great Casa
Grande or Big House of Arizona. have
been sufferers from these visitations and
the government Is taking steps to protect
them from casual visitors and prohibit the
sale of relies gathered on these historic
spots.
Many of the ruins and relics have been
included in the forest reserves and other
government reservations that are being set
apart in the west, and as federal preserves
the government has direct control over
them. At the same time it Is difficult to
police them effectively. and the bureau of
ethnology Is now issuing a series of small
