The reservation made by this proclamation is not intended to prevent the

use of the lands for National Forest purposes under the proclamation establishing the Powell National Forest, and the two reservations shall both be

effective on the land withdrawn, but the National Monument hereby established shall be the dominant reservation and any use of the land which interferes with its preservation or protection as a National Monument is hereby

forbidden.

Warning is hereby given to all unauthorized persons not to appropriate,

injure, deface, remove or destroy any feature of this National Monument or

WHEREAS, in section twenty-six, township four south, range twenty-three

east of the Salt Lake meridian, Utah, there is located an extraordinary

deposit of Dinosaurian and other gigantic reptilian remains of the Juratrias

period, which are of great scientific interest and value, and it appears that

the public interest would be promoted by reserving these deposits as a N ational Monument, together with as much land as may be needed for the

protection thereof.

Now, THEREFORE, I, Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States

of America, by virtue of the power in me vested by Section two of the act

of Congress entitled, "An Act for the Preservation of American Antiquities",

northeast quarter of the southwest quarter of section twenty-six, township

four south, range twenty-three east, Salt Lake meridian, Utah, as shown

upon the diagram hereto attached and made a part of this proclamation.

While it appears that the lands embraced within this proposed reserve

have heretofore been withdrawn as coal and phosphate lands, the creation

of this monument will prevent the use of the lands for the purposes for

which said withdrawals were made. Warning is hereby expressly given to

all unauthorized persons not to appropriate, excavate, injure or destroy any'

of the fossil remains contained within the deposits hereby reserved and declared to be a National Monument or to locate or settle upon any of the

lands reserved and made a part of .this monUipent by this proClamation.

Cliff-Houses, which is situated upon public land in the Mogollon Mountains,

within the Gila National Forest, in the Territory of New Mexico, is of

exceptional scientific and educational interest, being the best representative

of the Cliff-Dwellers' remains of that r"egion, and it appears that the public

interests would be promoted 'by reserving these ruins as a National Monument, with as much land as may be necessary for the proper protection

thereof;

Now, therefore, I, Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States

of America, by virtue of the power in me ve~ted by section two of the Act

of Congress, approved June eighth, nineteen hundred and six, entitled, "An

Act For the preservation of American antiquities," do proclaim that there

are hereby reserved from appropriation and use of all kinds under all of the

public land laws, subject to all prior valid adverse claims, and set apart as a

National Monument, all the tracts of land, in the Territory of New Mexico,

shown as the Gila CliffcDwellings National Monument on the diagram

forming a part hereof. .

The reservation made by this proclamation is not intended to prevent the

use of the lands for forest purposes under the proclamation establishing the

Gila National Forest, but so far as the two reservations are consistent they

are equally effective. In all respects in which they may be inconsistent the

National Monument hereby established shall be the dominant reservation.

Warning is hereby given to all unauthorized persons not to appropriate,

injure or destroy any feature of this National Monument or to locate or

settle upon any of the lands reserved by this proclamation.

IN WITNESSWHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of

the United States to be affixed.

DONE at the City of Washington this 16th day of November, in the

WHEREAS, There exists upon the southern coast of Alaska a belt of unusual volcanic activity which has during the last several years exhibited at

various points energy of a violence which attracts the special attention of

scientific watchers, .

AND WHEREAS,Mount Katmai, one of the volcanoes in this belt, has proved

upon investigation to have unusual size and character, and to be of importance in the study of volcanism, inasmuch as its eruption of June, 1912, was

one of excessive violence, ranking in the first order of volcanic explosive eruptions and emitting several cubic miles of material during its first three days

of activity, .

AND WHEREAS,The results of this eruption are still fresh, offering excellent opportunities for studying the causes of the catastrophe and its results

and affording a conspicuous object lesson in volcanism to visitors interested

in the operation of the great forces which have made and still are making

America,

AND WHEREAS,The volcanic neighborhood is shown by the explorations of

the National Geographic Society to contain many other striking features of

an active volcanic belt produced so recently that they are still in the formative stage; and in particular The Valley of the Ten Thousand Smokes, a

valley of hot springs in a condition of development toward a possible future

geyser ,field, in distinction from the present dying geyser field of the Yellow.

stone,

AND WHEREAS,This wonderland may become of popular scenic, as well as

scientific, interest for generations to come, inasmuch as all its phenomena

exist upon a scale of great magnitude, arousing emotions of wonder at the

inspiring spectacles, thus affording inspiration to patriotism and to the study

of nature,

,

Now, THEREFORE, I, Woodrow Wilson, President of the' United States

of America, by virtue of the power and authority in me vested by section

two of the Act of Congress entitled "An Act for the preservation of American Antiquities," approved June 8, 1906 (34 Stat., 225), do proclaim that

A PROCLAMATION

[No. 1351-0ct. 25, 1916-39 Stat. 1812]

WHEREAS, certain historic aboriginal ruins of the former Haida Indian

village known as "Old Kasaan", situated upon public lands of the United

States, on Prince of Wales Island, within the Tongass National Forest, in

the Territory of Alaska, are of unusual ethnologic, scientific, and educational

interest, as representing a distinctive type of aboriginal American civilization,

the vestiges of which are rapidly disappearing, and it appears that the public

interests would be promoted by reserving these ruins, with as much land as

may be necessary for the proper protection thereof, as a National Monument;

Now, THEREFORE, I, Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States

of America, by virtue of the power in me vested by section two of the Act of

Congress approved June 8, 1906, entitled "An Act for the Preservation of

American Antiquities", do proclaim that there is hereby reserved from

appropriation and use of all kinds under all of the public land laws, subject

to all prior valid adverse claims, and set apart as a National Monument,

all that certain tract of land, in the Territory of Alaska, shown as the Old

Kasaan National Monument on the diagram forming a part hereof.

The reservation made by this proclamation is not intended to prevent the

use of the land for forest purposes under the proclamation establishing the

Tongass National Forest. The two reservations shall both be effective on

the land withdrawn, but the National Monument hereby established shall

be the dominant reservation, and any use of the land which interferes with

its preservation or protection as a National Monument is hereby forbidden.

Warning is hereby given to all unauthorized persons not to appropriate,

injure, remove, or destroy any feature of this National Monument, or to

locate or settle on any of the land reserved by this proclamation.

IN WITNESSWHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of

the United States to be affixed.
