Utah presents a rich field for anti.
quarian research. Mr. Don Mcguire
has recently been making extensive
explorations In the southern part OF
the territory and II very firm In his
cOncluhlon that that section was once
Inhabited by "a powerful race who lived
In cities aud pursued all the com.
mercial and industrial arts. The
capital city or home OF the ruler OF this
people, was, he believes, at or near
PafagVons, in which locality no has
been making his explorations anu
which have been rewarded by tue dis.
covery Of what was undoubtedly the
rulers palace. This palace was con.
etrucled Of aiobe and was originally
about l6Ox.5O feet. AS the adobe walls
crumbled and the entire structure
collapsed IL formed huge mound.
After digging into this mound aud TO.
moving The mass OF debris and adobe
soil ON top, tho lower rooms OF the
building were revealed, the walls still
retaining their original shape. In the
center OF the palace was n large court,
which was surrounded by u great
number Of small rooms. Several OF
these rooms have been excavated anu
several human skeletons anu q large
amount Of pottery taken out. Prot
| Montgomery, who Is with the expedi.
ton, regards the discovery as ono OF
great Importance, aud as there are
other mounds In the locality the sup
position Is that they too contain the
ruins Of ancient buildings. Tho theory
is that these plain dwellers preceded
the elf dweiiore; that they were
driven from their homes by savage in
vaders and sought refuge In the can.
yons; that from them came the elf
dwcllers who, In turn, were driven
from their rocky homes southwark 10
