Hueco Tanks M OR thousands of years, perhaps, Hueco Tanks, situated about thirty-five miles east of El Paso in the Hueco Moun¬ tains, has served as crossroads for travelers. Prehistoric man, no doubt, made this a stopping place in his travels and migrations. It is certain that Indians often made Hueco Tanks a camp¬ ing ground. There are evidences of open camps scattered over a wide territory. In fact, the many pictographs on the rock walls indicate that Indians often occupied the area of Hueco Mountains. Not only was there good shelter, but there is a permanent supply of sweet water from a tenaja, or spring, deep within the cave. Pictographs on the walls probably announced in Indian language what a later comer of a different race printed in among the rocks, “Water in Hear-” Gold-seekers who were pushing westward during the years 1851-2 evidently stopped here for rest and water. On the steep walls there are fifteen names and the suggestive dates, 1849, ’50, ’51, ’52, carved there, no doubt, by adventurers who paused for a short breathing space in the mad rush to California. Ruins of an old stage stand just a short distance from the tanks have been completely dug up by modern treasure-hunters. Today, the spot remains much as it did when the Indians and pioneers camped there. Its silence and solitude are seldom disturbed except when picnickers motor out from El Paso for a holiday, or when students of Indian folklore make a trip to study the many interesting pictographs.
