No. 91. Pueblo. — On the river bottom opposite " Mill Place " is a 

 ruin consisting of a series of rooms 

 bordering a quadrangular depres- 

 sion 48 feet square. The quad- 

 rangle has entrances from the 

 north and is at present 5 feet deep. 

 It appears to belong to the iso- 

 lated kiva type. Another ruin 

 measuring 21 by 15 feet lies 100 

 feet southeast of the square ruin. 

 Two or more large circular de- 

 pressions are connected with these 

 ruins. There is a large deposit of 

 house refuse on the site. 



No. 92. Pueblo.— On the ex- 

 tremity of a high terrace, a point 

 of which juts out opposite the 

 " Mill Place, ,, is situated a ruin 

 of medium size. It is one of 

 the regraded sites, and for this 

 reason the excavation carried on 

 here in 190-1 by the writer was 

 productive of few results, the 

 debris containing only fragments of human bones and potsherds.

mile east of the " Mill Place " 

 is a comparatively large ruin 

 ^ %«u, situated on the second terrace 



above the San Francisco. The 

 mounds of this ruin have been 

 protected by large pine trees 

 and thus retain the form which 

 the pueblo assumed after it had 

 decayed. West of the pueblo is 

 a fertile field whose surface is 

 strewn with fragments of pot- 

 tery. At this point the river 

 begins to descend rapidly into 

 the canyon which lies between 

 the Spur ranch and Reserve 

 post-office. 



No. 94. Pueblo. — In the can- 

 yon of the river below no. 92 is 

 a small ruin situated on a broad 



terrace among the pines. Several minor sites are found in the 



neighborhood.
