CODIFICATION
Section is based on sections 1 and 2 of act June 29, 1906, and a
portion of section 1 of act June 30, 1913.
The first sentence to the colon is from a part of section 1 of
act June 29, 1906.
The second paragraph is from section 1 of act June 30, 1913. It
extended the park on the south and described the boundaries as thus
changed, thereby superseding the description contained in section 1
of act June 29, 1906. Section 1 of act June 30, 1913, also recited
that the lands added to the park by its provisions were lands
relinquished by Indians pursuant to an agreement incorporated and
ratified therein. The agreement was one dated May 10, 1911, with
the Wiminuche Band of Southern Ute Indians.
The last sentence of this section is taken from section 2 of act
June 29, 1906, which is also the source of section 112 of this
title.

the proceedings: Provided, however, That any person or persons who
may, without permission from the Secretary of the Interior, in any
manner willfully remove, disturb, destroy, or molest any of the
ruins, mounds, buildings, graves, relics, or other evidences of an
ancient civilization from said park shall upon conviction before
any court having jurisdiction of such offenses be fined not more
than $1,000 or imprisoned not more than twelve months, or such
person or persons may be fined and imprisoned, at the discretion of
