In the same locality were quite a number of smaller caves containing houses in demolition.

In one of them the walls were composed of stones and mud, and here we also saw the first circular-shaped house in a cave.
By digging below the concrete floor of one of the rooms, we came upon the skeletons of five adults.

This was a singular fact, showing that these ancient cave-dwellers observed the custom of burying their dead under the floors of their houses when conditions permitted it.

Cave-dwellings comprising twenty rooms were also seen by the Mormons at the head of Bavispe River.
My relations with the Mormons continued to be friendly, and in my dealings with them I found them honest and business-like.

While thriftily providing for the material requirements of this life, they leave all their enjoyment of existence for the future state.
