Possessions.
WYOMING.
The Shoshones and Bannocks and Mountain
Crows are on reservations in this Territory. They
live principally by the chase. In 1868 tract OF
land in the western part OF wyoming was set apart
for the Shosnones, who agreed when the Bannocks
should desire reservation, should be set aside
for them. The Shoshones selected one themselves,
which includes large amount OF arabic land well
adapted to cultivation.
COLORADO.
There are several Indian agencies In Colorado. A
general reservation has been laid out for the sew
eral tribes Of Utes and there is another in the
southern part Of the Territory on which there are
5000 Indians. These, OF course, do not all remain
within the limits. The red men are not far re-
moved from their original savage condition.
NEW MEXICO.
The Indians in New Mexico principally consist
OF various tribes OF Apaches, Navajos, Puebos and
Mescaleros. They number about thirty thousand,
but are constantly passing away. MANY OF them
hold communication with their brethren in Ari-
IONA. At the Cimarron Reservation there are
Maquache and Jicarilla Apaches amounting to 900;
at Abequin the Nebinoche and Capote, numbering
500, who are every day growing less, and the ella
and Mogollons, at another agency, though having
plenty Of good land, are, by associating with bad
white men, completely demoralized. There is a
large reservation in the centre Of the Territory,
but there are few Indians on II. There are gar
risons at forts Bayard, Craig Cummings, Garland,
Mckee, Seldom, stanton, Tulerosa, Union and Win
gate. The Fifteenth infantry and Eighth cavalry
are stationed in New Mexico.
UTAH.
There is but one reservation In Utah-the Uintah.
1t contains many thousand acres OF excellent land,
and, 1t ls said, there is no better site for Indian
farms. There Is plenty OF timber and excellent
grazing. The FLUTES, Goshutes and ShosAones are
the government wards. They are sefsupport-
ing. No Indians now roam over Utah In search Of
furs, but several thousands are engaged in hunt
ing. There is a considerable military force 10 the
Territory, but their presence Is not occasioned by
refractory Indians.
ARIZONA.
Portions Of theFirst and Fifth cavalry and Twelfth
and Twenty-third infantry are stationed In Ari-
Zona Since the visits OF General Howard and Vim.
cent Coyer few years since several OF the reser-
vations have been broken up and the Indians re-
moved TO other localities. The Apaches have shown
the greatest dsinclination to remain on the reser.
vations and when OF them have engaged in every
description OF outrage. A vigorous war has been
prosecuted against them in consequence. Cochise
and hts band are now on the Sonora boun-
