Colorado's Historic Archaeological
treasures

The Chicftan recently referred to the movement for
the protection of cliff dwellers' remains in this state.
Mr. Jcancon of the state historical society," has been
Pueblo for few days, explaining the matter in
detail to the people here and has much interest
in support of the plans of that society
The principal fact presented by Mr.. Jeancon is that
the United States government is willing to cooperate
with the Colorado society to prevent the loss of these
treasures provided the society will make the very mod
crate expenditure necessary prove its good faith in
the matter 1t is not to be expected that the cliff
dwecrs ruins will be allowed to stand unexplored,
and if Colorado people have not the enterprise to
plore them the colleges of other states will be permitted
TO do the work they eager to undertake.
Mr. Jcancon also has made it clear that the Colorado
society proposes to establish addition to the central
museum in Denver branch museums in the towns and
cities that contribute to the of exploration Such
museum would be valuable addition to the present
attractions of Pueblo which may fairly claim distinction
as the gateway into the region of the cliff dwelers
There ought to be difficulty in obtaining the small
amount fixed Pueblos share for this most desirable
work
