of group B is situated. 1t is circular,
90 feet in diameter and carefully
walled. 1t lies south of the second
section Of the group. 1t appears to
belong to the same type as those res
ervoirs on the East mesa of the Ho-
pis in which snow and rain are col
lected.
There are instructive petroglyphs
near ruin A, group B. A number of
rock etchings observed in small
canyon about a mile from the ruin
were pecl1ed in a perpendicular wall,
protected by the overhanging rim of
the canyon. These were evidently
made BY the former inhabitants, as
one of the best examples shows the
same design as that figured on pot
terry from the neighboring ruin. There
were likewise butterfly, sheep or an
telope and other figures.
1t would be quite impossible in this
preliminary notice to give complete
account of the archeologic objects
which Mr.. Doney has taken from this
ruin, but even a preliminary sketch
would be incomplete without some ref
erence to them. One of the most inn
portant objects is the dessicated body
of an infant wrapped in coarse cot
ton cloth, allusion to which has al
ready been made. This bundle was
inclosed in three small cotton kits
which were later washed and found
to be "as good as new" At the foot
of the infant was a dessicated par
rot, some of the brilliant plumage of
which is still to be seen. This
bird has prayer stick tied to one
leg, which makes reasonable the be-
lief that it wa5 a ceremonial object.
Another interesting specimen in the
Doney collection is the dried body of
a dog, which was found in one of the
deep clefts in the rock near one of
the ruins. This dog has head sim

Wukoki of Hopi legend is not far from
Black Falls. The tradition that the in
habitants of these ruins came from
the north is supported by the close re-
semblance in character and decoration
between their pottery and that OF the
San Juan ruins.
1t might naturally be supposed that
there would be a close likeness be-
tween the pottery of the Black Falls
ruins and that of Homolobi (near
Winslow), and that kinship once ex-
listed between the inhabitants Of these
pueblos on the same river. Close
study, however, shows marked differ
ences, and the author is led to the
belief that while both were pueblo peo-
pie and therefore similar in culture,
the clans which inhabited Homolobi
were not the same as those which hv-
ed in the Black Falls villages.
The Coconino sun., 1923-06-22

bers are filled with fallen stones. The
cemetery of this pueblo lies west of
the ruin, where there are also re-
mains of walls.
Small ruins may be seen near the
road from group A to group B, a few
miles to the left. Their walls are in
good condition, but no peculiar feat
ures were observed.
Group B-Ruin A
The largest of all the ruins in the
Black Falls cluster, and one which
bears evidence of having been inhab-
tied for considerable time, lies
about 35 miles northeast of Flagstaff
and about eight miles from the Little
Colorado. This is built on ridge of
sandstone extending in northeast
southwest direction, and consists of
two large buildings of moderate ele-
vation. On each side the ridge
slopes gradually to a depression,
the talue on the east covering a
series of rooms, while on the west
side, where the slope is more abrupt,
no rooms were discovered. The ruin
is divided into two sections connected
by rows of. 0ne-story rooms, the walls
of which have fallen. Remains of
great number of roof and floor beams
are still scattered throughout the de-
bris. These beams are larger than
those of any other ruin of the same
size known to the author.
1t is difficult to determine the orig
inal number of rooms in the first sec
tion of this ruin, as the tops of the
walls have fallen, filling the cham
bers with debris. How many basal
rooms were buried in the talus of fall
len walls at the base of the mesa on
the eastern side could not be discov-
cred. Room A of this section (figure
~ is elevated on rock base about
10 feet high. The chamber is small
and it's walls have fallen on two
sides. The debris has been cleaned
out of this room by Mr.. Doney, who
found in it the dessicated remains of
an infant wrapped in four well-pre-
served cotton blankets.
Room B is small, narrow cham
Der with good walls on three sides,
but the fourth wall, which was situ-
ated on the edge of the mesa, has
fallen over the brink.
The ground-floor chamber of room
C is formed by gap in the mesa
from which large cubical block has
fallen. The walls Of this chamber are

like many others, consisted of dwell
ings and fort for protection. There
are instructive photographs on the
rocks nearby.
Ruin L
At the base of the mesa on which
the aforementioned ruin stands is a
ruin of red sandstone with five rooms
and foundation of unusual shape. A
huge rock, cubical in form, has fall
len a few yards from its former po-
sition in the bluff. Ruin L is built
on the top of this detached block, and
its fairly well-preserved walls are
separated from the bluff on all sides
by wide crevice. From a distance
the ruin appears to be perched on the
bluff, but closer observation shows its
separation from the latter by an i'm
passable natural moat.

Falls came from the north and were
related to those who once lived in cliff
houses and other habitations on the
Rio Colorado and its tributary, the
San Juan. Hopi legends say that the
snake clans formerly lived at Tokon-
abb, on the Rio Colorado, and that they
migrated southwark and built pueblo

which would make the original height
of the wall about % feet.
The cemetery is about 100 yards
east of the ruin and is small. The
mortuary objects found in a single
grave opened will give an idea of the
burial deposits. The graves are oval
and consist of cysts made of slabs of
stone set on end and covered with
other flat stones. The upright stones
were cemented together with adobe,
the covering slabs being apparently
luted to the edges of the uprights.
These burial cysts were commodious,
and in the one uncovered, the body,
which was that of a woman, lay on

Ruin K, which evidently formerly
contained several rooms, is divided in
to two sections and is situated on a
high lava mesa difficult of approach.
The walls of the larger section in
close three well-preserved rooms, and
still rise to the height of about eight
feet. Five feet above the base the

the population of the second section

rooms as about 80, the approximate
population of the pueblos would have

Duties OF Citizens
Outlined By Harding

Washington, Mar. 6.-President
Harding holds that the citizen who
does not cooperate with civil author
tiles and otherwise exert his influence
in behalf Of the honest administration
OF laws. falls far short Of being a good
citizen. This opinion of the President
was expressed in a message which he
sent to the Rotary International in
connection with the eighteenth ami
versary of its birth.
The organization has commenced an
intensive campaign among its 80, 1000
members for a thorough understand
ing Of the responsibilities of citizen
ship. In addition to President Hard
ing, Attorney General Daugherty and
Rep. Frederick II. Gillette, of Mass,
Speaker of the House, sent messages
upon the subject Of the responsible
ties OF %citizenhip. President Harding's
message was as follows:
ITO the members Rotary Interna-
tional: The individual citizens re-
sponsibility for executive government
begins with the selection of the xe-
cutive. This implies the duty of every
