This high, blackish mesa lies west of San Felipe [29:61tJ and 

 north of Santa Aua [29:95]. Bandelier says of it: 



The black mesa of San Felipe is both long and broad, forming a triangular 

 plateau which in extent and elevation resembles that [29:1] on which the cone 

 of the Tetilla [29:4] rises between Santa Fe [29:5] and Pefia Blanca [29::n]. 

 Its width between San Felipe, and Santa Ana is about nine miles, and about 

 midway there is a considerable elevation, on whose summit stand the ruins 

 [29:71] of the second pueblo of Tan-a-ya or Santa Ana.' 



This mesa is also mentioned incidentally in the portions of 

 Bandelier's Final Report quoted under [29:69]. Dr. H. J. 

 Spindeu has crossed this mesa on an old trail, going from San 

 Felipe to Santa Ana. He says : 



When going over the trail from San Felipe to Santa Ana one has to first 

 chmb the mesa [29:67] and then cross three small gulches, which have pre- 

 cipitous walls on the north side but a gentle slope on the south [ct. the can- 

 yons of the Pajarito Plateau, which show this same geologically unexplained 

 peculiarity]. Then a larger, deeper canyon is crossed, and at the bottom of 

 this I saw a pictograph. At the brink of the mesa above Santa Ana Pueblo 

 [29:95] there is a pile of stones 10 feet high and 20 feet or so in diameter. 

 The trail is well worn that ascends the mesa side to this pile. No prayer- 

 plumes were noticed on the stone-pile. The pile is in plain sight from Santa 

 Ana Pueblo. The trail passes just south of the pile, around it. 



On this mesa three pueblo ruins are known to exist; two which 

 were former pueblos of the Santa Ana people, [29:87] and [29:88], 

 and one, [29:68], which was a former village of the San Felipe.
