in the rivers is usually confined to a very limited
period, the water being seldom or never sufficiently
low to work to advantage earlier than September

it is not developed to any great extent but enough,

Americans
This is the end of the Indian war got up several
months since by Antonio Cara and others. Aftor
series Of expeditions from Fort YumA, sent out on
every occasion when Indian was heard Of in the
vicinity, final expedition was made, towards the
end of September, extending some eighty or ono
hundred miles up the Colorado, where the Indians
where surprised, and their principal chief falling
into the hands Of Major aeintzelman. made all the
amends he could for the misconduct of his people,
throwing the whole blame, however. upon Antonio
Cara and another chief named Hieronino, both of
whom have persisted in the war, together with many
other chiefs and head men The country no v, in
that direction, will be perfectly safe for emgrsnts
