hitherto been considered a hard coun-
try, is slowly but steadily improving.
Mining is the principal industry aside
from stock-raising, and the population
OF mining camps is not generally COM
posed of the quietest and most orderly
persons in the world. The Indians
have not been troublesome Ia that
district since the outbreak Of two years
ago, At that time they broke out and
Col. Forsythe with his regiment fol-
lowed the belligerent red men ITO
miles to the RIO Grande, killing nine
teen on the march, which was a run
ming fight nearly all the way. Then
the Indians crossed into Mexico and
were received with open arms by Gen.
Garcia, who slew eighty three of them
and captured the rest. There was an
other small raid last year, when six
teen ducks" came out of the reserva-
ton and killed four settlers. phev
were promptly punished and quiet
was restored. The colonel saws that
these outbreaks, SO far as the White
river Apaches are concerned, are not
the result of any oppression or sharp
practice on thc part of the whites, but
are inspired by natural deviltry. They
are now on the San Carlos reservation
and are inclined to be peacoable. as
they have lost about $50 warriors with
IN the last two years, and there's only
about 600 left.
Col. Forsythe will return al once to
Fort Bayard and viii then march with
his regiment, the 4th Cavalry, to Ari-
IONA, where he will relieve the 9th
Cavalry. He expects to be stationed
IN the latter territory for the next five
years. He regards the Indian question
as gradually becoming settled, and is
Of opinion that the troops, especially
the infantry, will be drawn from the
frontier and concentrated near the
large cities. 'The largest Indian
tribe in New Mexico, " said the colonel,
lis the Navajo This tribe numbers
5000 and can put 2, 500 mounted
braves on the warpath The Navajoes
are peaceful, and devote themselves to
raising stock. They own 100000
sheep, $50, 900 cattle, and 90, 900 horses.
and are the richest and most prosper
Gus Indians in the west. They lead a
pastoral life, moving from place to
place with their focks and herds, and
resemble the Arabs very much"
In regard to the proposed invasion
OF indian Territory by Capt. Payne
and his followers, Col. Forsythe said:
THE army officers don't like to have
anything to do with that matter, as
there is pretty certain to be a contact
between the civil and military authori-
ties. Payne has already commenced
suit against officers who, acting under
orders from the interior department,
through the war department, arrested
him and his followers and expelled
them from the territory If the off
GERS obey orders they get into trouble,
and If they don't they are censured by
their superiors. 1t is a case which
calls for the exercise of a great deal of
discretion. Payne is sort of crank,
but 1t IS the opinion out there that he
is backed up by some of the railroad
companies who want to get control Of
the land now occupied by the In
dians."
