The San Juan Highway.

OF the new San Juan highway, last
nights Post said:
A direct automobile route to South
western Colorado, which has hitherto
been practically inaccessible to mo-
torists from other portions of the
state. will be opened within few
weeks when the new highway from
Pagosa Springs to Southfork is COM
pleted. The work is so near com
pletion that the road is passable for
automobiles already. but only expert
enced drivers should attempt to ne
gotiate that portion of the highway
on which construction is still being
carried on. Only an eight mile
stretch of the highway in the valley
Of the south fork of the Rio Grande
del Norte remains to be completed.
The new thoroughfare is triumph
of road building. The engineers did
not follow the old wagon road. which
connects Pagosa Springs with South
for and which crosses the Rio
Grande del Norte at fords at num-
Der of places, but ran a new survey
which eliminates the fords entirely.
The continental divide is crossed at
Wolf creek pass, which is 10000 feet
above the level of the sea- Along Wolf
creek canon there are places where
the road is more than 1000 feet above
the stream. The road was blasted
out of solid rock at many points and
the difficulties of construction along
Wolf creek canon were so great tha.
the highway cost $4,000 q mile. There
are no steep grades on the road.
This road connects with the main
roads through Archuleta, La Plata
and Montezuma counties and gives
access to Mesa Verde National park,
the home of the ancient cliff dwellers
Because of its comparative inacces-
sibility, less than 700 persons visited
the park during the past year. The
road connects with the Dolores Nor
wood road and the proposed Durango
Silverton highway. thus making two
rircle trips possible. 1t also links the
oad which leads south from Durango
to Gallup, N. NJ, with the Colorado
highway system.

Forest Fire Raging Again.

The forest fire in the Elk Creek
section, between the Hermosa and
Animas ranges, which was thought to
be under control, broke out afresh
yesterday. Last evening messenger
from that vicinity gave the alarm and
several farmers and stockmen from
the Animas valley made the all night
ride to the scene to fight the flames.
Roy Frazier, acting supervisor of the
Durango National forest, and a party
of assistants left this morning to do
their part in the work No word has
been received from there this after
noon. About noon today fire broke
out at Pinkerton Springs. near the
Pinkerton rangers station. A phone
from that point at 8 p. m. states
it is spreading but as yet has
not reached dangerous proportions
A party of men from the local for
est office was sent out this after

Sentenced to Death.

of William Dick, who was a prominent

Death was the penalty fixed. Wards

charVe, has not been apprehended.
Rick was murdered last February
while on his way to the Oakview

Although the eight thousand dollars
he carried in his auto was not dis
turbed, it deveoped that robbery was
the motive. Apparently the murderers

Fewkes canon. This ruin has been

it has become an enormous mound.
1t win be huge task to remove this
sand drift and uncover the building,
but good progress has been made in
the few weeks of work. The outer
wall has been uncovered and it is
now apparent that the building was
in the form of large 3D.
an addition TO uncovering this
r;;in whose possibilities have long ap-
pealed to him, DR.. Fewkes hopes to
do some work this season on the
of the many mounds which indicate
ruins in the vicinity of Moki Lake on
top of the mesa. Moki lake was un-
loubtedly one Of the chief sourcs of
.he Cliff Dweller water supply. Sur
rounding this reservoir are countless
mounds of varying height, showing
that the lake was a center of popula-
ton All of these mounds, no doubt,
will be excavated but it will take
many years to do the work. In fact,
the Mesa Verde comprises one of the
vast archaeological fields of the
world, and its treasures in this re-
gard are practically inexhaustible.
DIR. Fewekes has also discovered
rock inscriptions near the Cliff DWELL
ings. most of which scientists agree
are religious symbols. Others are
totems, while still others are mere
scribblings. The walls of some of the
Cliff Dwellings are covered with a
thin wash of yellow sand well adapted
for painting of symbolic or decora-
tive character Some mural decora-
tions have been uncovered in the
process of restoring the buildings
The colors, red. yellow and white,
evidently were put on with hand, i'm
pressions of which can still be found
in several cases. Among the de-
signs used are triangular figures on
upper margins Of dadoes and pedes-
tails of ceremonial ruins or kivas.
