State Ready to Explore
Long Lost Nevada City
RENO, Fob. 28—The recently dis
covered ancient cliff dweller city
sometimes referred <o as Pueblo
Grande de Nevada, or Lost City, lo
cated along the banks of tlie Virgin
River in southern Nevada, is largely
on Federal land and in the opinion
of Governor James Scrougham, should
become the property of the state and
a separate state department created
to govern it and conduct further ex
plorations.
Nevada has several claims against
the Federal government for public
lands, and the governor, in a recent
address at Lovelock, said some sort
of compromise agreement may be
arranged whereby the state will be
come sole custodian of the buried city
area.

thought to be the ancestors ot' the
Pueblo Indians of today, established
the city, which, after reaching a high
stage of development, was allowed to
go to ruin. Whether it was desert
ed by its residents voluntarily, or
whether they were all slain or cap
tured and carried off by their ene
mies, or all died of disease is a mat
ter of speculation. In any event
the city was deserted, and in time
became buried under sand and debris
so that hardly a trace of it remains
until recent discoveries.
What is believed an irrigation sys
tem has been found and from this it
is presumed the city’s inhabitants
were agriculturists and made the des
ert bloom in much the same manner
as it does today in certain sections
of the west.
Archeological investigation is ex
pected to go forward rapidly ihis
summer. Many mummies and much
pottery from the ruins are now being
studied.

WHICH WAS SEIZED DURING THE WAR
WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 28.—President Coolidge sees difficulties in
the way of returning at once property seized from Germans and held sinc^
the war. Senator Borah, chairman of the committee on foreign relations
has introduced a bill providing for the return of the property within sixty
days after the passage of the measure.
While Mr. Coolidge is not to be represented as having minutely exam
ined the Borah bill he is, on the other hand, convinced that certain ob
stacles will make the immediate return of the German property inadvisable.
The situation has been to some ex-8
tent complicated by the areement
signed in Paris recently with refer
ence to the American share in the I
payments under the Dawes plan.
The latter does not include as among
Germany’s assets the property held
in America, but the fear is expressed
at the White House that a contro
versy may arise as to the disposition
of the property, when once it gets
back to German hands. The allies
might set up a claim to share in it
| and instead, therefore, of returning
the property to its rightful owners
which has been the traditional policy
of the American government, the
goods may simply in effect be trans
ferred to the allies.
Such a step would rasie a contro
versy in other directions. For Ameri
I can citizens who have claims against
Germany amounting i i about six
hundred millions of dollars would be
loath to see German property held
here since the war turned over to
the allies to satisfy the claims of
their own nationals.
American claimants have had lie
idea that the German pi ope-tv was
a sot t of assurance that they wouhl
bo paid out of the proev Aif -he
German government defaulted on
its pledge to pay American claims.1
Under the treaty of Berlin, Germany
agreed to reimburse her nationals tor
