it to say, that i've of the victims were killed on the Blue, the very country which my boys were so aDS. ious Co locate on, and in all prob. ability the ywould have been among the other victims. Thank God, they were spared that horrible doom. may add that from 1878 10 1885, near. ly hundred men, women and child ren were butcbered in cold blood by these same Apache 6ends, and there is hardly q Spanish family in New Mexico who cannot count relatives among the victims of Indian butchers. And these are the cowardly villains that MT. stephens is so anxious to inflict on us again.
 l know, and l voice the sentiments of the good people of New Mexico when I protest against this brutal in. suit to our people. If Mir. stephens is haDkcring to bring the survivors of the savage Geronimo and their de. sttuuhHts, itt nm tuhe tnem tO ieIhs, where there is so much unoccupied land. We want all the land in New Merico for our own honest neigbbors, and the immigrants wno are flocking into the Territory to build up the flu. ture Sunshine State of New Mexico.
 While in Arizona l saw that Dele. gate Cameron had entered his solemn protest against Stephens infamous proposition, and, no doubt, our Dele. gate Andrews has done so, before now. As this is nor. partisan ques. ton, in which Republicans and Demo. crats can unite heartily, l trust every newspaper in both Territories will lose no time in letting Congress know that the people are strongly and uni tedly opposed to this insult and in. tended injury to them.
 Truly your friend,

HARVEY PEOPLE
 VERY ACTIVE
(From Tuesdays Dnily)

During the few months the liar.
 Harvey people have had charge of
 their big Del Rio reserve, most com.
 mendable progress has attended their efforts in cultivating new ground and
 improving the old. They are main.
 taining quite n force at the present time in retaining that tract and in n short time will nave practically
 half of the 500 acres under a state of production for the season, in hay principally.
 The virgin ground for large acre. age has been plowed up and sown with alfalfa seed, while the soil formerly cultivated has likewise been re. planted and also improved. The old irrigation ditehes have been cleaned out and enlarged and new ones intro, duced for the system of reclaiminp the ground taken over. It is said to be the intention of the company 10 bring their first consignment of cat. He from the main line in the next few months, as an experimental test of the adaptability of the ground for dairy purposes.
 With this test they will also begin the erection of the many sheds and the dairy quarters, together with the subdividing of the land, and the build. ing of homes for the employees. The intention is to utilize but a fraction of the vast domain, and q small tract will also be cultivated to propagate n limited amount of vegetables and berries, the strawberry particularly be. ing of prolific growth in that soil. By early it may be expected that the nucleus of what is 10 be the greatest dairy farming enterprise in the Southwest will be under head. way at that point. Water is abuna. mt for the irrigating of the entire zone taken over, which gives the pro. ieet a very favorable regard.

TELLS PLAIN TRUTH.

The following timely article regard.
 ing the proposed return of the Geron.
 imo band of Apaches is written by
 A. l.. Morrison of Santa Fe, N. M,
 father of K. F.. Morrison of this city.
 The sentiments echo those of all pic.
 neers. MT. Morrison observes:
 Mir Editor:
 ! have seldom seen such outrage.
 ous proposition as that of Congress.
 man Siepnens of Texas, to.wit, to
 appropriate the sum of $5O,OOO to be used in bringing the survivors of the hendish. Apaehes back to the scenes of their recent murderous raids in New Mexico and Arizona. The events of yesterday are no fresher in my mind than those cold blooded assass. nations.
 Permit me to present to your read. CTS few personal recollections of those days of murder and nights of ierror. Soon after my arrival in Santa Fe. my boys and thought of en. gazing in the cattle business, and in looking for a suitable location. we visited an old army friend, Captain w. F.. D. Dougherty, who was then in command at Camp Apache, in Ari. zona, and there, for the first time. ". saw an Indian reservation. One morn. ing we strolled up among the Apache wigwams. The squaws, young and old, were busily engaged in doing all the drudgery of the camp, while the b,g, lazy braves CD were amusing them. selves a' various games--it being be. meath the dignity of a brave to stoop to manual labor. In talking over conditions among the nomads, with our friend, the captain, he said that every Indian. who so desired, had work to do, cutting grass, making hay and stacking 1.-the government paid them regularly for their work-they appeared to be perfectly satisfied, and he was certain that the Indian prob. | lem was finally solved. As the cap. tain had hunted extensively over the country, his advice was sought as to Q good location, on which to engage m our projected business, and he spoke very highly of the land in and | around the Big and Little Blue riy. CTS. On leaving our friend, the cap. | tain, we visited tine mountains near springerville, Arizona, and there we came to fine country, on which I | determined 10 locate, but the bows were SO fascinated with the captain ,s description of the Blue, that they tried their best to persuade me to 70 over there.
 At last, l said, "Now, boys, I am putting up the money to begin this enterprise, and if you don't agree to locate here it is all off, After much further argument, they very re. obeyed my wishes. This was in November, 1884. According to A recent History of New Mexico, "A party of Indians, under Geronimo. l34, according to military authorities, left the San Carlos res. srvation, May IS, 1885, and came within three miles of Silver City killing twenty'six white persons on Inc raid" I have the names before ne, but will not take up your vaiu.
