CLIFF DWELLINGS VERY OLD
Head Of Surveying Party Says Those
Of Utah Were Constructed Many
Centuries Ago.

Cliff dwellings more than 1000
years old and buildings OF even
greater age have been discovered in
Utah, according to D. B. Miller, as
sistant supervisor of the general land
Office, who has been at the head Of
a surveying party in that state for
the last ten months.
The cliff dwellings we found in
Utah undoubtedly are many hundreds
of years DID,. said Mr.. Miller to a
Washington Poet reporter. They

built on the mesa lands and many in

of these bridges has span OF more

The Navajo Indians In Utah are of
