SANTA FE PALACE
Old House of Spanish Governors

Ruins Of Ancient Town In New Mexleo
Slow That the Prehistoric People

Santa Fe, " None OF the most

The edifce which is now undergo

old palace of the governors, which was
erected in 1905. This ancient build
Jig was the home of nearly 100 vice
roys and governors who ruled over
the territory in the days Of Spanish
domination. In the work of restora-
ton efforts are being made TO restore
the structure to its original dimen-
siOns and other features OF architec
tural finish. In carrying on this work
a discovery was made that throws
new light upon the methods Of con.

ries ago. II was popularity supposed
that the old palace of the governors
was built of adobe blocks of great
size. The use of thes, books was
thought to account for the extraordt
nary thickness of the walls. In e.
posing portions OF the walls it was
recently found that they are OF solid
construction.
What is Of still greater interest
however, TO modern building trades
people, is the discovery made by Prot
Hewett that beneath the ancient pal
ace building are the ruins of other
buildings that were evidently part
of a prehistoric Indian town and that
the buildings of the long lost town
were constructed of adobe material
In practically the same manner that
modern concrete buildings are erect
ed. In describing these discoveries.
Prof Hewett said:
The dismantling Of the interior Of

the purpose of repairing and restoring
