HARRINGTON] PLACE-NAMES 105 



(3) Span. Sierra de Santa Fe, 'Santa Fe Mountains,' named 

 from Santa Fe city [29:5]. =Eng. (2). This name is, like its 

 Eng. equivalent, applied now to the whole range, now to the 

 southern part of the same. "Sierra de Santa Fe." ^ 



(4) Span. "Sierra Nevada."^ This means ' snowy mountains.' 

 Identified with the Santa Fe Range by Bandelier.^ 



These names refer to the range of mountains east of the Tewa 

 country from Jicarita Peak [22 :9] in the north to the vicinity of 

 Santa Fe [29 :5] in the south and west of the upper course of the 

 Pecos River [22:(i2]. They do not properl^^ apply to the Taos 

 Range [8:24], nor to the Mora Range [22:64]. The peaks and 

 other features of this range are given on [22]. 



The Span, name Sangre de Cristo 'blood of Christ' is not cor- 

 rectly applied to these mountains. It is given on the standai'd 

 maps as a range northwest of Trinidad, Colorado, separating the 

 headwaters of the Arkansas and the Rio Grande in Colorado. 



Indians and Mexicans tell of a half-breed, called in Spanish 

 Miguel el Indio, 'Michael the Indian,' "Indian Mike," who lives 

 in the wild portions of these mountains, eating bear and deer 

 meat and avoiding human company. He is said to talk very lit- 

 tle Spanish, and no one seems to know what Indian language he 

 speaks. 

 [Large Features: 8]. (1) Tsq,7npije''i''^pir)f, TsQmpijepiyf 'western 

 mountains' (fec^m^^/e 'west' <fsqij.f unexplained, /^i'^V 'toward'; 

 T' locative and adjective-forming postfix, 3 + plu. ; pi^y 'moun- 

 tain'). So called because the mountains are west of the Tewa 

 country. Cf . T'mnjnje'i'^pvjf [Large Features: 7]. 



(2) Eng. Jemez Mountains, named from Jemez Pueblo [27:35]. 

 This name has perhaps long been applied loosely to the whole 

 range, but the writer has not found such usage in print earlier 

 than the writings of Hewett. Bandelier^ uses "Sierra de 

 Jemez" as a synonym for Jara Mountain [27:10], q. v. "A 

 great complex of mountains loosely known as the Jemez. '"^ 

 "Jemez mountains."" 



(3) Valles Mountains. (<Span.). = Span. (5). This is the name 

 applied to the chain by Bandolier, who uses it just as Hewett 

 uses "Jemez Mountains." " Valles Mountains."' "Valles chain."* 

 "Range of the Valles. "8
