 SAN CARLOS RESERVATION.
 The San Carlos or Waite M0uniaiG Reservation was established November 9, 1871, by Executive order, and con taius 2,523,tuJ acres. The reservation should be carefully surveyed, and eucG portions as ire not needed for the sup port of the Indians should lG cgt oit

 Since thc establishment ol this 1e- serva'i0u there have been discovered o1 the exterior parts thereOt both coal and silver mines. The coal mines are located Iu the southern part on land ul- tit for cultivation. These coal beds We're first discovered by miners, who alleged that lAey were of the reseTv- tIon, and who still insist that such is the case; but @ survey by She survey lr general oi ArIzlEa affords prlot cl tir ialsity of tlis claim. it k however alleged that the prospecturs who urst discovered the coal mluaa acle1 ID good faith, supp1siug that such coal Lel-- were off the reservation, and expended considerable labor iu opening them These coal fields ara very vG.uaDici and. as this fuel is much needed lu AUz rl, some arrangement should be made By which the public >hgA have the at- vantage Of such discovery.

Some compensation should therefore be provided before the | land IS sold. If the claims of the pros pectors should be found to be correct, ! that is, that they were in ignorance Of ! the boundaries of the reservation lrh- Government having established bonn dariesJ, they ought to be allowed to ! derive some advantage from their worE. | either by being allowed Co purchase a5 H reduced price or Co leass for a tern oi years.
