ruins were inhabited by the Mayan
Indians when they had attained a
stage of culture never approached
by subsequent tribes.
The discoveries place the Mayan in
fiuence at the most northern point
ever found. Excavation has not yet
advanced sufficiently to fix definitely
the date of ancient culture, but uni
versity scientists believe the ruins
are more than 1000 years old. Strong
evidence exists to show the people
were skilled in agriculture.
The Mayan Empire was overwhelm-
ed by the fierce Toltec tribes. of Mex

years the Mayans apparently flourish
ed and spread from Central America
to the lofty peaks of what now are
the barren deserts Of eastern Nevada.
Further excavations are expected
to throw much interesting light on
early American history and possibly
to prove the caverns near Ely of
greater scientific value than even
