 "Dr. Fewkes believes the ruin was an uncOmpleted fortress aban- doned when the cliff dwellera dis appeared from tue Rocky mountain region. He does not think the cliff dgellers were exterminated, however, but believes that, about the time they abandoned their un- finished fortress they had become strong enough to leave their noun tain refuges and mingle with the tribes of the lowlands. After that, perhaps, they became amalgamated with the various Indian races and lost their separate indentity.
 "At MCki spring, a short distance from these ruins, there are a num- Der of other tree-groWn mounds very similar in appearance to the one excayated. Here and there cut stones are exposed in these.
