river; that these Indians did not re- quire all of the grazing lands south thereof for their stock: that they de- sire, however, to be allowed to remain on their locations on the addition south of the river. Supervisor Mead so recommended. He stated that there was ample grass south of the river for the Indians in summer and for both the stock men and the Indians to use in common winter. Having gone over the subject fully and exhaustively, having examined the land and seen the amount of grass thereon, ascer- tained the approximate number of cattle that might use the range in win ter, the natural drift of the cattle and access to the river, the approximate number of sheep owned by the Indians, and the amount of grass required by them, and the amount at their disposal and having considered present and future results of white men and Indi- ans using the same country in com mon as winter range, Supervisor Mead concluded that it would be best to keep the boundary line of the addi- isted in order to be in position to pro tect the rights of the Indians who were south of the Little Colorado river on the addition and for the purposes set forth in the executive order mentioned.
 On account of the foregoing reasons and for the best interests of the whites and Indians as we'll as the territory of Arizona, and with view of promot. ing harmony among those interested, Supervisor Mead recommended that the boundary lines of the addition to the Navajo reservation under consid- eration remain as set forth in the ex- ecutive order of November IA, 1901; that the privilege be given to the pub
