I set to work at the place indicated, and our efforts were rewarded by the exhumation of eight skulls in perfect condition, besides many typical bones.

The last raid of the Apaches on Fronteras was in 1875.
Passing Cochuta about a hundred miles south of Bisbee, we came upon a deposit of fossils.

It was scarcely more than a mile in extent, but many bones were said to have been taken away from it as curiosities.

I had already observed isolated fossil bones along the creeks on several occasions during our travels, but we could find nothing here of value.
Signs that the country was in former times occupied by another race than its present inhabitants are seen everywhere throughout the region we traversed following the road to the south.

Here they appear frequently as remarkable groupings of stones firmly embedded in the ground.
