AN INDIAN clvILlzRR.


Lieut.. E. v. Stottler, Tenth infantry Ia
dian agent Of the Msscalero. Apaches,
same up from the south, yesterday, and
went over TO Santa Fe, for q day, to
visit friends. He Is on his way east on
leave.
The Mescaleros number 450, according
TO the census taken on July LIST, Of this
year, as against 4b3, on July lst, OF last
year. During the past eighteen months,
and since Lieut.. stottler has been their
agent, they have made great progress-in-
deed, DR.. J. II. Blazer, who lives at the
reservation and who has known these In
dams for forty-three years, says he never
expected so much progress aud advance
ment amongst them. Since Lieut..
Stottler has been agent, every
child over five years ol', has
been placed in school on the
reservation; every male Indian has been
compelled to cut his long hair of, and to
adopt civilized garb; the women were told
to stop using paint, and not a female on
the reservation uses such now. Every
available piece of land for which water
can be had, has been fenced and placed un-
der cultivation, and this year the Mesca-
leros will have abundant crops Of oats, po-
%tatoes, alfalfa and garden truck. During
the past year, there has been no lawless-
ness or crime amongst them, and
any infractions Of discipline or violation Of
the rules of the Iudlan office, are punished
by the agent by confinement in the guard
house and other like punishments. The
hereditary chiefs have been deposed, and
the Indian police, fourteen in number, are
the agents means for keeping peace and
order on the reservation.
This year the experiment Of furnishing
sheep has been tried for the first time, and
IL it succeed, and it will, as the reserva-
ton is an ideal sheep-raising section, it
will be continued on a larger scale.
Lieut.. Stottler's administration of the
affairs of the agency has certainly been a
great success, and Inspector Mccormick,
who, about six weeks ago, inspected the
agency, has SO reported to the secretary of
the interior.

A. M. Burnes, a health-seeker here from
Norway, Michigan, who, a few weeks ago,
suffered from alteration Of mind, over re-

recovered, became violent again, early this
morning, and il was necessary to again
place him IN the county Jail to prevent
him from doing harm to himself and to
his wife and child. Mrs. BurDes has tele-
graphed the sheriff of her home county in
Michigan to come and take him back to
Norway. 1t is expected that he will re-
cover his reason as soon as he reaches a
lower altitude.
