Remarkable Discoveries by Prof, liny
den in the Far West.
Prof. Hayden, of the Government Geo
logical Survey in th far West, has pro
pared his tcport, which will soon be pub
lished. The following is the substance of
his discoveries:
"TLo Klo Dc Chilly, for a distance of
about thhty-tive miles "above its mouth, Is
so cunotied mi.l the wubh (or the bed of
th! stream Is perfectly dry the renter por
tion of the year, cuts from wall ruck to wull.
rock so frequently that it Is impossible to

bo tortuous it iid rocky in phtecs thut it'
would bediilli ull if not impossible. Making
ad. tour to tho right, the tirst opening Into
the canon was rem tied ten miles above. Iu
here nti interesting and extent-he ruin was
found which was so well preserved that It
aei i ued to have been vacuti 1 less than a
score of years, and so Ueur Hko the work
manship and maun, r of building of th
present Moioils, that it would not be ditll
cult to imagine them lurking among the dn
fcerti'U tuotiis. This ruin was situated in a
long ca c like boich or nn m, running along
the taee of a perpendicular l-lutf, some lifty
feet above Its tinse. and a total length of
nearly 300 ynrds. Tiie tow n was irregularly
but compactly built, conforming to the rock
on wliieli it was placed, the rooms m ranged
in a single row mostcd the way, but at cither
end bunching up to two or three deep. A
ground plan shon s peventy-flve rooms with
iuany little irregular "cubby holes," with
a total length of Ml feet. A lew jbiiU fur
tin r to the light are a half dozen building.
Cistiinsand reservoirs yet remain perfect
enough to show tin ir purpose.. In the cen
ter ol the ma.-s was a w i It-preserved circular
apartment a little below ti e general level of
the others, that was probably an tutufti. Tho
gout corrals were inrido, between the house
and the blulT. Digging beneath the debris,
several pieces of "liiicly-prt -served pottery
were found, the same tineiy ornumented, and
gla.ed ware of which the fragments arc no
universally scattered over the whole coun
try, bcucuth the center of the town there
was found in one group some whole jnrs of
about two gallons capacity cucli, of the gray
indented w are, but they were- too fragile to
transport upon pucli-mulet. Resides the
pottery, many stone implements and arrow
points were unearthed. Another detour to m
the right, this time over an ele ated plateau "
of w hi to sandstone, across w hlcli was drifted
great dunes of w hite sand, brought the party
to the famous so-tailed diamond Holds of
Arizona, ubout which there was such au ei
eltcment In 174. Llrpeilng ou Us
baro red plain, upon which tho tun
butt wiih redoubled intensity, only
long enough to gather about a pint of
garnets, which were of txecllcutquullty utid
very abundant, c:mp w as made at the foot
of ti side canon w hich ciinie in from the w est,
and wus known as the Canon I'.onlto I'lil- ;
quito. Another group of ruins occurred
here, not in a large town but In scattered
houses up and dowu the l)c Cbelly and
lioitito. A maiKcd feature was great reser
voirs in which t here was, even now, abund
ant and excellent wafer. 'J wo or three miles
bolow in the canon of the main stream wus a
well-preserved two-story house, standing
upon a bench elevated fifty feet above the
vulley, and overhung bv a great roof of rock
that etlcciually shielded it from the storms.
Near by was a great natural rescrtolr Idled
with good water. Another live or six miles
anil the canon of the l)e t'helly opened out
Into n great valley, from one to three miles
1 i width, utid extending up to the foot of the
great canon near Fort Defiance. Twenty
live to thirty-five miles above the IJonito are
some peculiar table rocks and monuments
thut form notable laud-mui ks. -The ruins
are now scarce, only a few being met w ith In
the etives at the side of the vulley. The bot
tom lflnds bear the impress of very numerous
ruins, adobe very likely, that are now almost
entirely obliterated, ami would hardly be
noticed were it not for the broken pottery.
At the head of the valley of the Do Chelly.
the trail turned off to the southwest Just
above the upper ed?e of the great white
mesa. Tuking only two others, Mr. Barber
and l.ee the guide, and sending the remain
der of the train back some fifty miles where
there was suitable gruzlng, Mr. Jackson con
tinued over to the Moquis Pueblos seventy
five miles distant, w ith only the photographic
apparatus nnd supplies for live days. Teijua
wus reached by noon of the following day.
As these Pueblos have been so frequently
described and illustrated, the party spent
only two days and a half among the six
moht easterly towns, viz.: Tequa, he-chum-e-wav,
Moqui, Moo-shar-nen, Jshong-a-pabwo
and Kuc-paw-a-we. Photographs of each of
these were made, and numerous sketches,
Illustrating: their habits, dress and occupa
tions, collections of reccut and ancient pot
tery and tools, and other objects of interest,
were made. The comparison between the
workmanship of the northern town builder
and these Moquis was very mu-h in favor of
the former. The highest perfection was
reached in the clitr houses of the KiO Maucoa,
where some of the houses were marvels of
linish aud durability; and then, traveling
toward the Moquis, there is a gradual merg
ing of one style into tbo other, from the
ncutly-ctit rock and cornet angle to the
comparatively crude buildings now iuhab
ild. Retracing their stepa to the Ban Juan, at
the mouth of the Dc Chelly, the party now
traveled toward the Mcrra Abajo, up a
stream known as Epsom Creek, from the
water which is found at its head tustingand
operating like that of salt. The usual in
definite ruins which occur on low lands con
tinued up this valley over thirty niilea.
To the west was a labyrinth of cations run
ning ofT into those of the (Jrcat Colorado, an
examination of some of which discovered
many cave and cliir houses and towns, all of
the same general type as the others. The
ruins gradually diminished as they ap
proached the Mcrra Abajo, and several days
spent in the examination of the canon and
plateau about it aud the Sierra la fcal fulled
to brinz to light any more evidence of their
occupation.
Nearly opposite the Sierra Abajo or Blue
Mountains, as they are locally known,
head the great canons and valleys of the
Montezuma, which empties Into the San
Juan. Here the bottom of the canons hare
ouee supported a very thickly-settled com
munity. There is almost a continuous
series of ruins for a distance of twenty-tlvn
miles. This, in one canon only, and all
the others contain numerous remains, chiefly
in cliff-houses and towns. In the mala
canon lirst spoken of are two ruins notublo
for the size of the. stone employed in their
con-truction. In one, built upon a small
isolated table land in th middle ot the vul
lev, are etones set upon end, six feet in
length by eighteen Inches square, and rang
ing along the walls a distance of twenty-five
or thirty yards. Another case i where
stone seven feet In heighth fabovc ground)
and twe'itv Inches square, are standing per
pendicularly about live f.-et apart, and form
one side of a wall Inclosing the ruins of a
large, important building. Throughout the
cation every available defensive point has
be n utilized and are now covered with the
remains of heavy walls and large blocks of
houses. Another singular feature was the
number of holes cut into the perpendicular
lower wall of the cation for the purpose of
ascending the rock, boles just large enough
to give a hand and foot-hold, and leading
either to some walled-up cave or to a build
ing erected above, fcomc of these pteps
a-cended the nearly perpendicular face
of the rock for i-'xt or '-.'Hi feet. On
exposed surfaces, disintegration has almost
entirely weathered away the boles, while on
more protected surfaces they are deep
enough to still answer their original pur
pose. The main Western brunch of th
Montezuma contains the greater number nnd
more important, ruins of all the northern
tributaries of the San Juull, west of the Hut
Matieos. Water wa found in a few pool
near its head and lower down running along
in a small stream, a distance of two or three
miles, when it sank again. The bottom are
rich, utid the preent Indians, Ub s, w ho oe
ctmv the countries, raise good crops of corn
without irrigation.
The result of this trip wa the collection
of a large number of utensils, both modern
and ancient, stone arrcw and spear points,
knives aud axes, photographs, espeeiallv
lu-trative of the most important ruins, and
numerous sketches of everything of note,
which will be brought out iu detail in tho
regular publication of the survey.
