 doy, in 1690, in the vicinity of and as an

Santa Maria.— Bancroft, op. cit. Santisimo Nom- 

 bre de Maria. — Ibid. 



Jet, Lignite, Anthraqite, Gannel coal. Car- 

 bonaceous materials used to some extent 

 by Indians. Jet of excellent quality oc- 

 curs in Coloi-ado, and the Indians of the 

 arid region employ it for jewelry and 

 various carvings. Good examples of lig- 

 nite ornaments were obtained by Fewkes 

 from the ancient ruins of Arizona, and of 

 jet by Pepper from the ruins of Chaco 

 canyon, N. Mex. Among the latter is a 

 well-sculptured frog decorated with inlaid 

 designs in turquoise and shell. Cannel- 

 coal objects are found in the Ohio valley 

 mounds, but few specimens carved from 



anthracite are known. A small, well- 

 carved liuman head of jet-like stone was 

 obtained by Smith from a shell heap on 

 lower Fra/.er r., Brit. Col., and Ni black 

 says that the N. ^y. coast tribes ))ulverize 

 lignite and mix it with oil for paint.

Jicarilla (Mex. Span.: 'little basket'). 

 An Athapascan tribe, first so called by 

 Spaniards because of their expertness in 

 making vessels of basketry. They ap- 

 parently formed a part of the Vaqueroa 

 of early Spanish chronicles, although, ac- 

 cording to their creation legend, they have 

 occupied from the earliest period the 

 mountainous region of s. e. Colorado and 

 N. New Mexico, their range at various 

 periods extending eastward to w. Kansas 

 and Oklahoma, and into n. w. Texas. 

 The Arkansas, Rio Grande, and Canadian 

 rs. figure in their genesis myth (Mooney 

 in Am. Anthrop., xi, 200, 1898), but their 

 traditions seem to center about Taos and 

 the heads of Arkansas r. They regard the 

 kindred Mescaleros and also the Navaho as 

 enemies, and, according to IMoonej', their 

 alHances and blood mixture have been 

 with thelTte and Taos. In language they 

 are more closely related to the Mescaleros 

 than to the Navaho or the Arizona 

 Apache. The Jicarillas were first men- 

 tioned V)y this name early in ttie 18th cen- 

 tury. Later, their different bands were 

 designated Carlanes, Calchullnes, Quar- 

 telejos, etc., after their habitat or chief- 

 tains. The Spaniards established a mis- 

 sion among them within a few leagues of 

 Taos, N. Mex., in 1733, which prospered 

 for only ashort time. They were regarded 

 as a worthless people by both the Spanish 

 settlers of New Mexico and their Ameri-
