Cliff Dwellers Found.
April 24, 1889Pueblo, Colo., April 23.—A very interesting discovery of cliff dwellings has just been mad near the line between New Mexico and Colorado, at the lower end of San Luis valley. The place is on Santa Clara creek, ten miles from Espanola. All other cliff dwellers’ houses are situated forty miles or more from the railroad, and are difficult to access. The buildings, or village just discovered, were in a circle of six hundred yards in circumference. The bricks are as light as pumice stone, but very hard. A short distance away was an open mound fifty feet in diameter, containing many skeletons, which turned to dust on exposure. There was also some excellent pottery found still in good condition.
