IN RUINS IF
 CASA GRANDE
Interesting Discoveries Made by scien- Prehistoric Ruins of Aborigines Uncovered by Archaeologist from the Smithsonian Institute.

Interesting discoveries are being made at the Casa Grande ruins by Pro lessor J, w. Fewkes of the United States bureau of ethnology, and head of the archaeological expedition from the Smithsonian institute, exploring these ruins.
 It will be remembered that more than year ago the government appropr- ated $3,000 for this purpose Of this sum 5000 has already been spent with good results and several interesting dis eoveries were made.
 Under the direction of Professor Fewkes gang of thirty Italians is em- ployed in digging about the ruins where the early Indians or prehistoric races dwelt and many curios have been un- earthed during the past few months
 wall 4l9 feet long and 240 feet wide has just been unearthed, enclosing the ruins The existence of this wall had never before been suspected It is now being eemented to preserve it against the ravages of the weather and ''"'N ehN "Ail .bt tht hl Nlt tuliOS bl those interesting ruins, which are known all over the country The wall is four feet in height and it is the belief of Professor Fewkes that originally it was ten feet high.
 In travelling over the road from Casa Grande to Florence many vehicles have passed over an angle of this wall. II was in this angle that the largest olla ever found in this country was un- earthed The olla was in a good state of preservation. It differed slightly from other ollas, as its bowl was in greater proportion to its height than are others
 Seven ceremonial chambers were also discovered in the ruins. In the bottom of several of the chambers ashes. which are supposed to be relies of the last saerifie ceremonies, were found.
 At the present time great hole in the center of the ruins is being cleared out and it is the belief of Professor Fewkes that this was the reservoir from which the supply of water was obtained by the early dwellers.
