MINE FOR DATA
ON LOST RAGE
Mexican Government Sinking
Shaft to Uncover Mysteri
ous "City of Gods."
BUILDERS THOUGHT INDIANS
Immenif Store* of Valuable Arcbeo
logical Material Have Been Taken
From the Varioua Excavations—
To Make It Show Place.
San Juan de TeotlhnacaD. Mexico.—
Prospecting for the habitations of a
lost race In virtually the same manner
as miners dig for cold, federal em
ployees here have Just started to un
cover the remains of a city of at least
100.000 Inhabitants which flourished
four thousand or more years ago.
Here and there over the confines of
the hurled city have been sunk shafts
to find streets, houses ami lemples
known to exist below the level of the
mountain valley In which lies the little
village of San Junn Teotlhuacan. the
name of which means In* the Altec
tongue "City of the t»ods."
The Mexican government has appro
prlated funds for this work of excava
tion, which Is In charge of Manuel
Gamin, director of anthropology of the
department of agriculture. The gov
ernment hopes eventually to make the
spot one of the show places of Mexico.
I Mminating the area are two pyra
mids, one to the sun and the other to
the moon, which for centuries have il<
flml the efforts of ntvlieolngisls and
historians to trace their origin. The
pyramid to the moon is still un
touched. retaining an appearance to
the lay eye of a huge mound of irrn:'i
lar ghapc, overgrown with gru<» and
rubbish.
Builders Thought Indians.
Sonor Gamlo says the i ll\ now un

aroa of fifteen square miles with h
population of more than loo.mio. lis
builders an- unknown to hi»t«r>. but
Sonor (iamlo Mlrvi^ Ihrv wore a pjrt

Mexico from tin- north, anil tlnd.ng The

tains erupted and inunduiod the city
with lava.
Entry to the grounds is lAade fa< • c
the "Temjde of the (Joddess of the
Winds," which was discovered I. ss
than a year ago. when erosion uncov
ered well-defined walls and decorations
typically Indian and Egyptian in ll. - r
conception. This temple has now Nvn
dug out and reconstructed 011 the ex
terior.
The Inside Is reaehed at present
through a series of subterranean p?is
sages. Inside the visitor treads over
massive stairs ornate with decorations
of huge serpents with obsidian eyes
and grotesque conceptions rem s.vut
of Egyptian art. The work of Interior
excavation and reconstruction Is far
from complete.
Paint Still Brijht.
Between this temple and the pyra
mid to the sun is a stretch of one
quarter of a mile, which Is at intervals
pierced hy the shafts of the diggers
and In some places hy the uncovered
remains i>f a house «r public building
with the paint still bright am! the fres
coes as Intact as the day tliej were
pi a ceil there several thousands of years
ago.
1 Between the two pyramids is a wcll
dellned plaza, on one side of which a
street has been uncovered, known us
the "I'ath of the Dead." Flanking the
plaza are hundreds of mounds, which
Senor Gamlo assured the correspond
ent contained either houses or temples.
Immerse stores of valuable archeo
logical material have been taken from
the various excavations. Human bones,
terra cotta beads, obsidian knives, ar
rowheads, children's toys of clay, cook
ing utensils, incense burners and crude
musical Instruments form the bulk of
the find, and all are preserved In a
museum which has just been erected
'on the grounds.
In counectlon with his supervision
of the excavations. Senor Gamlo has
interested himself In the Indian life
of the valley, and one of his first ef
forts has been to establish schools with
special attention paid to manual train
ing.
Originally the valley contained 200,
000 Indians, but these had been re
duced to 20.0M) In colonial dr.ys, and
now number fewer than 8.000. They
earn but a poor living when crops are
good, ami when these are failures star
vation and widespread death ensue.
Groups of Indians engaged :n pot
tery making, a new industry in the val
ley, were evidence that a portion at
least of Senor Gamlo's program was
being carried out.
Cheap Horses.
Los Angeles. Gal.—"Horses in Mon
ona are selling for SI per head," de
clared E. M. Gamble, a prominent
Iowa farmer, who was a visitor In the
city recently.
Mr. Gamble asserted that he had
just traveled through Montan i and that
owners of ranches there had offered
him horses for <1 each If he would j
take them out of the state. Due to]
high freight rates, the Xfontana ranch
ers cannot dispose of their stock, he |
said, and as there Is no market In tb? |
Southwest the ranches have beconir j
overstocked with horses of from 9CW tcj
1,30k pound*.
