Ruins of Pecos Pueblo, New Mexico.

We tried to secure a picture of the ruins at Pecos Pueblo but
failed. Many ruins of an ancient civilization can be found in Arizona
and New Mexico. From the rings of logs found in these ancient ruins have
been found the comparative dates of these ancient cliff dwellers.

We are indebted to Mr. McKee of the A. T. & S. F. Railway Co., for
the rock from Pecos Pueblo.

FROM THIS OLD HOUSE AT ORAIBI CAME THE BEAM WHICH CARRIED HISTORIC CHRONOLOGY BACK TO 1260

The log which proved to be such an important link in the investigations of The Society had been cut in 1370, when it was 110 years old, and had
rendered more than five centuries of service. It now is safely preserved in a tree-ring laboratory in Tucson, Arizona
