From his statement it was evident that we had a rich field before us, and the results of the following day more than came up to our expectations.
The old man, acting as our guide, showed us on the way to the valley a primitive kind of corn-mill driven by water power, and with some pride he pointed out to us an "infant industry," the product of which so far was a dozen wooden chairs with seats of interwoven strips of green hide, instead of cane.
A number of caves were found to contain houses.

One of them especially made a great impression on us on account of an extraordinary cupola-shaped structure, which from a considerable distance sprang into view from the mouth of the cave.

Most of the caves were found on the western side of the river; but there were also some on the eastern bank, among them a number of burial caves.

In one of the latter a well-preserved mummy was shown to us.

It had already been taken up two or three times to be looked at; but our guide intimated that the influential Mormons in Utah did not want to have the skeletons and caves disturbed.
