The CLIFF DWELLINGS.
A Denver Party Intends to Explore Them
Thoroughly.


Rev. Camden M. Cobern, Cecil A.
Deane, Rev. J. c. Gillette and Professor
Cutler, all of Denver, will start tonight
on tour to explore the cliff dwellings
of New Mexico and southern Colorado.
Scientific knowledge and photography
will aid the party. Mr.. Gillette is a
skilled photographer. and Professor
Cutler is eminently fitted for such re-
search as this. The party will spend
over a month among the cliff dwellings.
After visiting the Rio Grande valley the
expedition will go to Aztec and north
west to some entirely unexplored ruins
that have never been visited by sclen-
tific men.
There has been little scientific digging
done in many of the cliff dwellings.
Even the Swede, Nordenskiold, who first
reused scientific interest in this subject,
did not dig thoroughly, as numbers Of
things have been found in the houses
which he so nearly excavated. Every
one is troubled with the same desire to
find "stuff," and lose sight of the scien-
tific knowledge of such priceless value.
Already the hidden treasures Of these
prehistoric homes have been carried
away by the ton, and already is the
tourist being attracted from afar, and
now that he has started on his deadly
relic hunting way the very walls of the
cliff palaces are not safe for another
year, while the possibility of scientific
excavation will soon have passed for
ever aWay
