The making of straw hats and mats is quite an industry among the Pimas.

In the houses they have a cellar-like dug-out outside of the dwelling and covered with a conical roof of dry grass.

These cellars, in many cases, serve not only as the work-rooms, but also as store-rooms for their stock in trade.
In one or two instances I found Pima families living in open inclosures, a kind of corral, made from cut-down brushwood.

I noticed two small caves that had been transformed into storehouses, by planting poles along the edge and plastering these over with mud, to make a solid wall, behind which corn was stored.
In Yepachic I estimated there were about twenty Pima families.

I had some difficulty in inducing them to pose before the camera; the presidente himself was afraid of the instrument, thinking it was a diabolo (devil).
There are probably not more than sixty Pima families within the State of Chihuahua, unless there are more than I think near Dolores.
