Gated to the indians by the treaty OF

its direction. the surrounding county
is sparsely settled and ! have been UNI
able to ascertain that the necessities
Of commerce of any pubic ezigencies

effect SO seriously the rights and in

regarding it, nor is there any provls-
ion in it for securing their consent OF
