W HEREAS, certain prehistoric aboriginal ruins situated upon public lands
of the United States, within the Santa Fe National Forest, in the State
of New Mexico, are of unusual ethnologic, scientific, and educational interest,
and it appears that the public interests would be promoted by reserving
these relics of a vanished people, with as much land as may be necessary
for the proper protection thereof, as a National Monument;
Now, therefore, I, WooDRow WILsoN, President of the United States of
America, by virtue of the power in me vested by section two of the Act of
Congress approved June 8, 1906, entitled “An Act for the Preservation of
American Antiquities”, do proclaim that there are hereby reserved from
appropriation and use of all kinds under all of the public land laws, subject
to all prior valid adverse claims, and set apart as a National Monument,
all the tracts of land, in the State of New Mexico, shown as the Bandelier
National Monument on the diagram forming a part hereof.
The reservation made by this proclamation is not intended to prevent
the use of the lands for forest purposes under the proclamation establishing
the Santa Fe National Forest. The two reservations shall both be effective
on the land withdrawn, but the National Monument hereby established shall
be the dominant reservation, and any use of the land which interferes with
its preservation or protection as a National Monument is hereby forbidden.
Warning is hereby given to all unauthorized persons not to appropriate,
injure, remove, or destroy any feature of this National Monument, or to
locate or settle on any of the lands reserved by this proclamation.
3.n &itness ºffithereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused
the seal of the United States to be affixed. *
DoNE at the City of Washington this eleventh day of February
in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and
sixteen, and of the independence of the United States the
one hundred and fortieth.
