Annual Report of the Board Of Indian Com
missioners:
"After three years. working Of the peace policy,
the Board nnd cause for congratulations that their
ancipations of success In their attempt to civlize
nomadic tribes have been so far fulflled; that
| there s now reasonable assurance that the OBJ
ject in view is being rapidly attained The opera
tions Of the new system called into life confidence
| in the Justice of the whites, and the Indians were
therefore more disposed to help themselves.

cies were formerly made the fruitful sources from
which large fortunes were speedily drawn are now
nearly abandoned Instead OF PAYING, for thirty
elk per cent. more than is received, the Govern

miles. - 49,

! 1.-THE Indian Territory, with a smaller area than
any of the Territories, has population exceeding
| any Territory, with the exception of New Mexico
and Utah. II has more of land under cultiva-
| tion than any other in the United States. This
efectuay dsposes OF the statement that there is an
unreasonable amount OF land lying idle there, as
compared with other portions of the United States.
The Board deems It matter Of congratulatlon that
| the public opinion of the country is so rapidly
crystazing into purposes of justice and humanity"

| ganization of the Commission, in March,
| 1871, to the end of November, 1872, 17,700
claims were filed, in which an aggregate sum
of over $45 600 is claimed. OF these,
ATS cases, representing So, 40, ,314 as claim
ed, have been disposed of by awards amount
ing altogether to about s1,13s,000. About
700 cases, claiming $2,5oo, 600, have been in
vestigated and are under further considera-
! tion, as claims appearing to be meritorious,
but the proofs are insufficient on
which to frame just awards. This will leave
| about 5000 untouched cases, amounting
to some $37 100000, when the Commission
expires by law next March. With the ex-
perience gained in the past two years, the
Commissioners think they could dispose of
all the claims before them in about four
years, but it would require uninterrupted
diligence to do the work in that time.
