THE SANTA FE ARCHAEOLOGICAL
SOCIETY.
At a we'll attended meeting at the
court house last evening the Santa Fe
Archaeological Society was formally or
ganized by electing Judge j. K. Merle,
president; Professor J. A. Wood, vice.
president; w. A. Barney, secretary n
librarian, and James l.. Seligman, trea-
surer. Professor j. A. Wood was ap-
pointed to secure a place for meeting and
together with Hon. A.. l.. Morrison,
Mrs. Wallace and Judge J.. &. Merle
was appointed a committee to draft a
constitution and bylaws for the society.
Judge A. j.. Morrison presided before
the election of officers. A letter of re-
greet from Colonel George W. Knaebel
explaining his inability to attend the
meeting was read. A letter from Rev.
P. A. Simpkin of Gallup, expressed gra-
LITIGATION at the formation OF an archaeo-
logical society and contained an appllca-
ton for membership from MI. Slmpkln.
After the reading of the minutes the
society elected about 20 applicants to
membership which swells the total mem
bership to about so. After the election
of officers which resulted as above
stated, Professor e. L. Hewett, 2resi-
dent of the New Mexico Normal Uni
versity at Las Vegas, and founder OF the
society, explained the objects OF the
society and read a request from Hon.
G. A. Richardson of Roswell, vice-presl-
dent for New Mexico of the Pan-Ameri-
can exposition at Buffalo in 1901, ask
ing that the society take charge OF the
matter of making an archaeological
exhibition at that exposition. Inc
matter was discussed and plans for max
ing such an exhibit will be formulated at
the next meeting. The matter of maxi
| ing an exhibit at the St. Louis inter.
national exposition in 1904 was also
preached. Ex-Governor l.. B. Prince,
on behalf of the New Mexico Historical
Society, granted space in the historical
rooms in the old palace for an archaeo-
logical library and the members OF the
new society were urged to collect all the
literature upon the subject they can
possibly get a hold of and to place 1t
in that library. A number of reports
Of the bureau of ethnology and OF the
Smithsonian institute, now out OF print
are especially valuable. The member
ship fee for the society was for the
present fixed at 81 and the admission Of
non-members to the lectures at rs cents
The secretary was instructed to write
Rev. P. A. Simpkin at Gallup to orga
nize a society at that place as a number
