No. 172. Pueblos. — Near the ranch of Herman Green wald, 2 miles 

 south of Brockmann's mills, upper Mimbres, there are 5 groups of 

 ruins on the slope of the promontory above the river. 



No. 173. Pueblo. — There is also a pueblo at Brockmann's mills 

 (R. 10 E., 19 S.) 3 located on the bottom land. (Bandelier, Final 

 Report, pt. ii, 358.) 



No. 174- Pueblos.— Bandelier estimates that between Hicks's ranch 

 and Brockmann's mills there are on a stretch of 30 miles along the 

 Mimbres about 60 ruins. 



I have not seen a village whose population I should estimate at over 100. 

 and the majority contained less. They were built of rubble in mud or adobe 

 mortar, the walls usually thin, with doorways, and a fireplace in one corner 

 formed by a recess bulging out of the wall. Toward the lower end of the 

 permanent watercourse the ruins are said to be somewhat more extensive. It 

 is very evident from the amount of material still extant, from what has been 

 used in building modern constructions, and from the size of the foundations, 

 that whatever houses existed w r ere not over one story high. (Bandelier, op. 

 cit, 357.)
