now, when railroad has been cut through
to get to the highlands and when the Amer
lean fruit men have begun to cut down the
trees and make their banana plantations,
that any idea of the extent of that civiliza-
ton has come to be known
In building the railroad, the grades cut
through a circular Indian mound as high as
a four-story house, and for 40 miles along
the hills on one side of the valley were found
graves with walls made of smooth round
stones, brought from the creeks and the
rivers. On the other side of the Motagua
mounds of greater height were discovered,
and in them pieces of pottery, whistles of
clay and the STONE utensils of various kinds
There were also pieces of jade and obsidian.
1t is now known that the ruins are scat
tered over an area of about 100000 acres,
and that they include not only these grave
mounds, but mighty monuments and the re-
mains of a great city.
The City of Quirigua.
Our first knowledge of this city came
about 20 years ago, when the Stephens ex-
petition went through Central America,
and man named Catherwood saw some of
the ruins. We learned more about it in
1888, when Alfred P. Maudsley made his
way through this region and photographed
some OF the monuments.
The real work of excavation however,
was begun just about two years ago, when
the St. Louis Society of the Archaeological
Institute decided to do some work in Guat/-
mala, and at the instance of Victor NJ Cut
ter, manager of the Guatemala division of
the United Fruit company, came to Qui-
rigua and began their work here. The Uni
ted Fruit company has aided them in their
work, granting them Is acres of land, which
contained the most important parts OF the
ruined city, and forming what is to be
known as Quirigua park
1t is in that tract that the excavations are
now going on. They are under the charge
of DR.. Edgar L. Hewett and Professor Svl-
vanus g. Morley, who have gangs of natives
at work. They are now uncoverng what
was once the great temple city of the
Magyar, and they have already cleared away
the jungle over great part of the tract
They have cut down mahogany and other
trees, and are now digging up monuments
SO gigantic that they remind one of the
mighty statues of the upper Nile.
Thirteen Mighty Monuments.
Before describe the city itself, let me
tell you something about these mighty
monuments. There are Is of them which
have been already uncovered, although
some are still sunken deep in the earth.
These are gigantic monoliths. of sandstone,
solid blocks from 20 to 80 feet high, some of
which must weigh many tons These great
figures stand right in the jungle. One, for
instance, is supposed to be Sc feet in length.
It rises 20 feet above the ground, and it is

dressed Nearby lies another great stone.
which looks like the head of tiger and all
about are blocks of carved stone of one kind
or other.
In the Midst of a Banana Plantation.
All about the excavated city is an inn
mense banana plantation. The Is acres of
park contain some jungle, but the fruit COM
pany has cut down the dense woods sur
rounding this, and bananas are now grow
ing among the logs and in the ashes of the
burned vegetation. Some of the trees on
the ground are 20 feet in circumference, and
these giants of the jungle show the work
that has to be done in the clearing.
A part Of the park will probably be left as
it is, for it is as fine a specimen Of tropical
jungle as can be found on the face of the
globe. l am told that the woods contain
deer monkeys, soths and ant-eaters, and
saw birds of bright plumage flying about the
trees AS it is now the ruins can be easily
reached by railroad, the city OF Quirigua
being only mile and half from the track
and about so miles inland from Puerto Bar
rios on the Caribbean sea.
A Word About the Mayans.
And now in closing let me say word
about the people who probably built this
city and made these wonderful carvings.
They are practically unknown although the
work of psychologists may in time result in
further knowledge. There are evidences on
the monuments of skulls and crossbones.
showing that they had the same symbol OF
life and death that we have and some of the
carvings are evidences of the dates have
given DR.. Hewett believes that their civ
ilization was largely religious, and that the
government was theocratic republic. He
thinks that they lived in houses somewhat
similar to the bamboo huts of the tropics.
and that these great temples, monuments
and pyramids were put up only as means
of worshiping their gods. Some of the
other psychologists think that the faces on
the monuments were those of the queens,
kings or priestesses of that day.
These people are believed to have be-
longed to the Mayans, race stock which in
cluded many nations and which lived in
southern Mexico, and in great part of
Guatemala and Salvador. According to the
Magyar traditions they came from the north,
and it is said that it was not long after the
time of Christ that they made their way
south into Mexico They are supposed to
have been in Yucatan about 500 A. D., and
here in Guatemala little later. The people
of Yucatan are said to be among their de-
scendants, and the same may be true of
some of the tribes of Guatemala.
