THE ANCIENT CLIFF JEWELLERS,
Evidence That They Are the Oldest
PrehiGtOrice Race

Evidence of the existence of man in the
tertiary period is announced by Prof r..
l.. HcWett of the Normal University a
Las Vegas, n. NJ. II Prof. Hewett sue
ceods in establishing his assertions he will
upset two commonly accepted scientific
theories. Until now there has been no
good reason for believing that man APP
peared upon earth before the quartcrnaIy
period Assertions to the contrary have
not stood the tests of science. Further
more the cliff jewellers have not been re-
sarded as a very ancient race. Indeed,
many investigators have placed the age
of the cliff dwcllers at not more than 80
or 800, and have said that they were built
by "A race Immediately preceding the Pae-
i bio Indians, If not by the Pueblo Indians
/, themselves.
! Prof, Hewett now asserts that he has
| proved that the cliff jewellers are more
ancient than any other known prehis toric
race and vastly more ancient than the
, Pueblo Indians. He spent the greater part
| OF last summer exploring the cliff dwell
ings in the vicinity of Santa Fe, and last
night he made public for the first time
the results of his work. lie described and
showed fossil remains of the mastodon
and other animals of the tertiary period.
These were found, he said, in the homes
of the ancient people. He also exhibited
utensils manifcstly made from live not
fossil ivory, and these he says prove be-
You'd doubt that the people thai made

animals
| over the region above White Rock Cam
| yon on the Rio Grande extended in tho
| tertiary period vast lake which finally
broke through the immense layers OF vol
| canic tufa at White Rock Canyon. The
region around the lake all the way into
Colorado and the Mancos Canyon was well
watered and gave sustepance to hundreds
of thousands OF people. Prof Hewett de-
scribed the caves and cliff dwellings, of
which he found five varieties around Santa
Clara. Some of the stope buildings erect
| ed by the cliff jewellers had 20O rooms,
and it is upon the relics found in these
dwellings that the professor bases his
theory OF the great antiquity Of their
| builders.
| Prof. Hewett said that the Indians mere
| " reoccupied the Cliff and cave dwellings
at the approach of the Spaniards from
| New Mexico and i'm many instances pas
tered over the unique inscriptions res tor-
ed by Prof Hewett and photographed for
| the first time. Some of the inscriptions
| show the wear of ages. one path in the
sandstone on volcanic mesa connecting
| two cliff-dwelling villages was worn deep
and as the sandstone entrance to the tenn
| pie at Mecca. trod by millions of pilgrims
every year, is worn only six inches. this
oath. he thinks. shows that the cliff dwell
| ers occupied New Mexico and Colorado
| for thousands of years.

everything in the wagon was lost. The
driver was badly chilled - his cold bath
