DIR CARLOS MONTFZUMA
A Bright and We'll Educated Apache
 With an Interesting History.

! We were favored. slys the Globe Silver Belt. with call from Dr. Carlos
 Montezuma of Chicsgo. d Mohave-
 Apache Indian. who has lived in the | east upwards of twenty-eight years. H. and Anolio Apache. a Cairicahua
 Indian. now living in New York. are
 probably the two brightest Apaches living. and are ma ked examples os what education and association with the white race yan accomplish for tho
 native American.
 When he ca led upon us last Men | day. Dr. Montezuma pr, s5nted an ap- peaTance not very different from the weI.-;o-do Indian from the reservation. except that his face indica ted superior intelligence. and his fluent uSs of the English language gave evidence Of the liberal education that he has received. He was dressed in canvas hunting garb somewhat soilod. and had just returned from the mountains north of Silver King 'ocalty of peculiar in
 terest to him for reasons which will appear furthe: on ln-th.s article. He is mIn of medium stature. stoutly
 built. with an oval face. regular feat ures and the thick. black shock of hair chara ris5ic of the Apache. He has Itne easy carriage and address Of the refined eastener.
 Er. Carlos Montezunna has an inte-- est:ns history. In 1872 the principal
 men Of the Mohave tribe with their families. niads temporary camp at Iron mountain. ten miles north of Sil-
 Yer King. where the women and chil- dren were eft in fancied security while che warriors of the party went south to the San Pedro river to arrange a treaty Of peace with tine whites. Dur ing the absence of the bucks the Mo
 have camp was surprised by a war party of the Pimas the hereditary enc miss of the Apaches. who ruthlessly slew nearly all of the Mohaves in camp. Wi the exception of a few of the younge- children. who were car led away into captivity. and among whom was tlic boy Carlos. then about , years of age. and his two sisters few ysars older.
 The caDtives were taken to Florence and sold to citizens. Carlos being taken .by travelling photographer by the rame of Ger.i'es. and nis sisters pass ing into the possession of Charlie Ma son. At that time MT. Mason was mar ried to a Mexican woman. and when they separated few years later The woman took the two Indian girls with her to Sonora. wh5re they afterwards cied
 Carlos was well treated by his new gtiai dian and soon afterwards was taken to Washington D C.. and Ton keIs. on the Hudson river. where he remained for a tins and then re- moved to Chicago. where he received ins ruction in the pubic schools. and having passed through the several lp= no he Grz After graduating from that institution he took d full course in medicine. Since 1896 he has been lecturer In the Post Graduate Medical Collage at Chi-ago. and has also acquired d very good medical practice. This is. in brief. the history. of Dr Carlos Mon tezuma. which could be heightened and embe ellished had we the time and space to devote to 1t.
 tient effcrt to tracing his family his tory. and on his recent trip to Iron mountain. a spar of the Pinals-with the assistance of Mohave-Apache who made h;s escape at the time of the acre-he succeeded in locating he spot where the tragedy occurred nearly all the evidences of which have been removed by relic hunters. How ever, the doctor brought hack with him an cd bow that had evidently done service in that sanguinary en- courte:. which he will carefully pre- serve.
 Before returning to Chicago. Dr. Montezuma will visit the Pima In dians, the old enmfty between the | tribes having long since died out and vii doubtless gain from them further | information of the calamitous occur renee which So completely changed the ! cure mt of his fife.
