canoe to the peacable Indians wlro are
living in want The Governor says that
the Chiricahuas who still remain in the
mountains are menace to the peace and
security of southern Arizona. They
should be declared hostiles, and treated
as such by the army and citizens. The
present agreement between the Interior

guarding OF San Carlos reservation by
the army under Gen. Crook, seems to be
the greatest security possible under the
circumstances. II that plan should fail
the government should provide by
treaty stipulatione with the Indians for
their removal from that reservation to
some other part of the United States
and the reservation should be opened to
white settlers. The Governor recon-
mends that Congress extend to the Terri
tories the concession now made to the
States, of the sixteenth and thirty.sixth
sections in every township OF the public
lands, to assist in defraying educational
expenses. Congress is also asked to pro-
vide for boring artesan wells, for geo.
