NATIONAL CLIFF RUIN PARK IN
COLORADO.

A n area of several hundred square
n miles in Southwestern Colorado
4 n has been made into a new Ma
tional park for the purpose of
preserving from spoilation numerous
cliff ruins found in that region. This
has been accomplished through the eff
forts of the Colorado Cliff Dwellings
Association, an organization of fifty
women of that State formed for the
purpose.
The park comprises the Mesa Verde
country. in the southwestern corner of
the State, and was leased from the Ute
indians by the association under the
authority of an act of Congress passed
last March.
The Mesa Verde is an irregular table
land of some 700 square miles in ex-
tent, cut by the Mancos River and its
tributaries into innumerable canons
and gorges. The main canon is thirty
miles long and from 1000 to 1000 feet
In depth. The walls are composed of

The ruins found in the Mancos canon


and adjacent gorges represent the high;
est attainments Of the ancient cliff
dwellers in the art of house buildingl
Although many thousands of ruins
have been found in the southwest none
compares with those of the Mesa Verde
in character of masonry or in general
finish. In this respect the ruins along
the Mancos and its tributaries are far
superior to the villages now inhabited
by the Pueblo Indians in New Mexico
and Arizona.
Although discovered in 1874 and 1873
by explorers connected with the Geoi
logical Survey, under Professor T. V.
Hayden, and reported upon at that
time, the ruins are in such an inaccessi.

The dusty yokel, worn and tasked,
lramped to me from the road,
Grlpped hands with me, and all uaasked
The grateful waters flowed.

Its crystal waters once again,
And some new yigor gained.
And, all. those patient beasts that brough

And drank, and drank, and drank

The thirsty lip and fevered brow
From that still ripping pool

Has dipped its crystal waters up
