ne naU uuuerSCOOQ ESKeVanZ1n ar12QC, that if trails crossed this reservation he would follow them to the end ?
 Eskevanzin replied that 1t was so if any stock was stolen by Indians and traced to or through this reserva- tion, he would send h1s men after 1t, and bring it back.
 General Howard asked if he wished to say anything more to him. Eske- vanzin said he had heard and under stood we'll, and if any stock was stolen down about San Xavier or from the Pimas on the Gila and was found here, General Howard could do any thing he liked to him, but there were bad Indians that would steal and then they would cry out "Eskevanzin Eskevanzin !"
 General Howard told him him that if he kept his word and behaved him. self as he had done since he (Gen. H. had known him, they would not cry out Eskevanzin."
 Eskevanzin replied, "That is we'll"
 Gen. Howard said, to be sure there might be bad men who would say so, if stock should be traced here. Sup pose Cachise or his men should run stock here, some would say that it was Eskevanzin.
 Eskevanzin said put a trailer tor trailers) around the line of the reser- vation, and if he finds trails that come near here they are made by his people, but if they go far away into another country they are made by Cachise's people.
 General Howard asked Eskevanzin if he and his people would help us follow these trails; the Pimas, Mexi- cans, etc., do so-would Eskevanzin and his people help us?
 Eskevanzin said that formerly, when he was in the mountains, he did not have such clothes as he now wore. He is here making peace and is contented. Bad Indians may commit depredations because they were jealous of him, that he is in here making peace; if they commit depredations he would go out with the soldiers after them. Before this he had made treaties and held treaties So it was interpreted he meant probably that in former times, treaties had been made and he had gone home and slept uneasy. Now the Pimas and Papagos wanted to talk with them, and they would go home contented.
 General Howard addressing the Pimas said, "They (the Apaches) say that they want to make peace. Who speaks for the Pimas?" Eskevanzin wanted Antonio (head Chief the Pimas) to talk with him and his people, and if he said the Pi- mas wanted the same as they wanted he would be contented. Antonio said he obeyed orders, he was here by order of the great General. He, wanted Eskevanzin to speak first.
 Eskevanzin said he was glad that all these captains and people had come. As long as that stone lasts the treaty will be kept; and the people will hear of 1t ill Washington. The General carries watch by which he. sees the time and regulates his actions Eskevanzin's watch Is the sun. The hands of this watch never turn back :; and what he says is like the hand of his watch. First there were three nations Apaches, the Papagos, Gin which name the Apaches include Pimas, Maricopas, and Papagos prop er), and Mexicans. The Mexicans had guns and the Indians had bows and arrows. The Papagos and Apa- ches were once friendly; and then be- came inimical. Now the time has arrived. when they will again be at peace. Formerly they had to betake themselves to the mountains and rocks, through fear; now that peace is made, they could come out into. the open plains, and sit down under the shade, and not be afraid. In former years before the Americans had pos session of the country, the Mexicans made very few campaigns against them; and the Apaches made very few campaigns against the Mexleans, Now they had put the stone there; and as long as that stone lasts, no more campaigns should be made by his people. They had placed it there in the presence of General Howard and before all these people, as @ symbol that a new world had opened for them all. General Howard had asked him the other day, if he wished to see all
