Soda Spring-s. "In the same county [Taos County], 3 miles north of 

 Ojo Caliente, are soda springs."' 



Soda Springs. "There ai"e . . . soda springs 4 miles southeast of 

 Petaca, in the same county [Rio Arriba County]".^ 



Old Spanish silver mine. "Traces of such ancient mining for silver 

 are found . . . at a prospect near Ojo Caliente".^ 



Nameless mineral springs 18 miles east of Abiquiu [3:36]. "There 

 are mineral springs 18 miles east of Abiquiu in Rio Arriba 

 County."^ This would j^lace the springs somewhere near Ojo 

 Caliente hot springs [6:24], q. v. Perhaps the latter are re- 

 ferred to. 



[7] LOWER OJO CALIENTE SHEET 



This sheet (map 1) shows a portion of lower Ojo Caliente Creek 

 and adjacent country. The southeastern part of the area is occu- 

 pied by the great Black Mesa, or Canoa Mesa [7:16]. Two ruined 

 Tewa pueblos are located on this sheet. 



[7:1] San Juan Xiifel'o 'ashes estuta barranca' (iVy^e'e, see [7:2]; J>o 

 'barranca'). This arroyo is named after the pueblo ruin [7:2]. 



[7:2] San Juan iV^iiiSe'Q^M)^^'^"^ 'ashes estufa pueblo ruin' {nij, 'ashes'; 

 te'e ' estuf a ' ; ''qijwil-ejl ' pueblo ruin ' < ^or)ici ' pueblo ', keji ' ruin ' 

 postpound). The connection in which the name was originally 

 applied is forgotten by the Tewa of to-day. So far as they know, 

 it is the ancient name of the place. 



The ruin lies between the main wagon road which leads up the 

 valley, and the creek, being about 500 feet from the road and a 

 couple of hundred feet from the creek. A modern irrigation 

 ditch cuts through the ruiu. Four cottonwood trees stand beside 

 this ditch. The writer picked up a glistening black potsherd at 

 the ruiu, which an Indian informant said had been prepared with 

 poks^nfy, from [6:2]. The pueblo was of adobe, and the ruins 

 are now in the form of low mounds. The land on which it stands 

 was said by Mexicans who live near by to have belonged to Mr. 

 Antonio Joseph. The land adjoining the ruin on the south 

 l)elongs to Mr. Juan Antonio Archuleta. There is a small grove 

 of cottonwood trees about 300 yards north of the ruin. This ruin 

 marks the northern extent of TfugmHwe.

This name is applied to the locality extending on both sides of the 

 creek from [7:2] to [7:8]. Most of the Mexican houses are on the 

 eastern side of the creek. There is no plaza. It was at Tfug.ae'i-we
