No. 50. Pueblo. — The remaining numbers of the Foot Creek group 

 are three rectangular stone pueblos of fair size occupying sites north 

 of the kiva (no. 40). They are built of slabs of gray volcanic rock, 

 which is found abundantly in the vicinity. 



No. 51. Caves. — There are three small caves in the canyon wall on 

 the west side of the Blue near the mouth of the Foot and Lamphre 

 creeks. They were anciently used by men as shelters, but in recent 

 times they have been bear dens. 



No. 52. Petroglyphs. — These figures represent bear tracks, deer, 

 men, dragon flies, stars, and other objects pecked in the face of the 

 rock near Henry Jones's ranch, 4i miles below Blue post-office. 

 No. 53. Pueblos. — These ruins, several in number, are in the neighbor- 

 hood of Henry Jones's ranch, and 

 one of them is close to the dwell- 

 ing house. They are of the usual 

 rectangular plan and present no 

 unusual features. 



No. 54. Pueblo. — The location 

 is a ridge near the cultivated 

 fields of the Jackson farm, 3^ 

 miles south of Blue post-office. 

 The ruin is large, of rectangular 

 plan, and of gray stone. The site 

 contains little rubbish and the 

 stones of the fallen walls are 

 scarcely weathered ; the ruin to 

 all appearance is more recent than 

 any other on the Blue. Some 

 years ago men engaged in cutting 

 a ditch along the margin of this site unearthed a skeleton and pieces 

 of pottery. 



No. 55. Pueblo. — This is a small ruin 3^ miles south of Blue post- 

 office, located on a bench above the river between Cedar Spring creek 

 and Brush creek. The pueblo is small, rectangular, and stone built. 

 Numerous fragments of pottery and other material, together with 

 stone chips, are scattered over the site. 



No. 56. Pueblo. — Near the Thomas farm, 3^ miles south of Blue 

 post-office, is a ruin of medium size, placed on the second terrace above 

 the river. It is rectangular in plan, built of stone, and well located. 

 A large open area in front of the pueblo is level and contains many 

 fragments of pottery and obsidian. This ruin has never been 

 excavated. 



No. 57. Pueblo. — On Brush creek, about l 2 miles above its junction
