THE LATE DISCOVERIES oF Mr. FRANK CUSHING IN ARI- 
ZONA.— Mr. Frank Cushing is well known to the people of the 
United States for his discoveries and studies among the Zuni Indians. 
He has added another chaplet to his wreath of fame by the discovery 
of two other Indian cities, believed by him to have been the habita- 
tion of the ancestors of the Zuñis. Mr. Cushing joined the tribe 
of Zuñis, was adopted by. them, and finally was initiated into the 
order of their priesthood. His escort of a band of Zuñi chiefs and 
high priests to the States to show to them the Atlantic ocean, the sea 
of the sunrise, containing the water of life, is well known. His 
knowledge and information obtained through these long years of 
intercourse has equipped him for further study and search, and has 
enabled him to secure success where other men merely book- 
learned would have failed. He is fairly entitled to the credit of 
his last achievement. 
he had discovered a city three miles long and at some places one 
mile in width. This city was somewhat irregularly laid out, con- 
by a eerncipally of large squares or blocks of houses surrounded 
by a high wall, apparently for protection. The cause of the ruined 
condition of the city and its desertion by the inhabitants was deter- 
sgt e been an earthquake. The adobé walls were shaken 
at their foundation, and fell outwards. The roof had fallen to the 
Ser crushing everything which had been in the house, in one 
case the cooking vessel as it sat upon the fire. This evident sud-
