Albuquerque, n. NJ, Jan. 13,-The re-
cent meeting of the Archaeological i'll
stitute has revived public interest y
this territory as possessing more relics
of historic value than any other part OF
the United States. The impetus thus
given to the study of New MeXlcos
archaeological remains has been
strengthened by d statement made by
former Governor Prince, himself an
archRologist of repute. during visit
to New York. He found the people
of the east DESTROYS of learning more
about New Mexico than they have
been taught in the past, and the state
ment given by him covers the ground
with great cxactitude.
In beginning Governor Prince said
that the antiquities of New Mexico
might be divided into four classes. First
there were the prehistoric relics, which
were in existence when Columbus dis
covered America Then there were the
structures of the Pueblo Indians. dat
ing from the Spanish conquest to the
present time. Next there were the eyi-
dences of the Spanish and Mexican
regimes. and. fourthly. the landmarks

taken in the preservation of antiquities
and the means for their preservation

gies of the people were absorbed in
their struggle FOR The necessities of
life. There were few of the class. to
be found 50 numerouslg in New York,
for instance. who have time, taste and
means fer pursuing Archaeological re

The governor cited as an Illustration
of the difficulties encountered in this
work his experience in trying to save
for New Mexico two very valuable cot
lections OF potter nude from excaya-
tons few years ago. This particular
kind of pottery was found in q region
only twenty miles square and was
unique The owner offered the two col
lections for $3.50 each. BY dint OF the
most earnest efforts Governor Prince,
as president of the New Mexico His
toricai society. was able to raise in a
year only enough money to secure one
collection, the other being captured by
an eastern collector.
Dealing with the cliff dwellers, Cow

tific visitor had estimated that il these

Resolution Thought to he Acceptable 4
Cattle and Sheep.nen Indnrsed.
Kansas City. Mo, Jan. 16.-At the
third days session of the National
Livestock Association convention,
many papers were read and discussed,
and a food of resolutions introduced
and considered
An important resolution introduced
was one which sought to heal the long
standing bitterness existing between
cattle and sheep men over the question
of ranges. A. F. Robertson Of Texas
had Wednesday introduced a resolu-
ton calling for an amendment to the
laws regulating grazing on public
lands and approving leasing of such
lands in states where such policy is
desired by the people. This was re-
ferred to the executive committee and
finally laid upon the table. In it's
place substitute prepared by cattle
men and which, it is said, was ap-
proved by sheepmen and by many cat
tlemen was indorsed. The resolution
says the laws governing the use of
public lands in the United States have
become obsolete owing to the rapid ad-
vance of civilization, and that the
time has come for action by congress
in laws recognizing changed condi-
lions, encouraging settlement and Of
fering protection to settlers using
land for grazing purposes. The reso-
luton endorses the suggestion Of
President Roosevelt that large area
Of semi-arid lands be allowed for
homesteads and that commission ex-
perts be appointed to investigate the
present existing condition and suggest
to congress just and fair remedies
that will assist the growth OF the west.
