Department of the Inteeiok, Board of Indian Commissioners, Camf Apache, Arizona Territory, September 6, 1871. Sir : As the "White Mountain region has been set" apart by the War Department a,s an Indian reservation, and there are several bands of peaceably disposed Apaches, who have for many years lived in this country, who can not be removed without much suffering to them- selves, risk of war, and expense to the Government, I have concluded to select the White Mountain Keservation, the boundaries of which were defined in letter of H. M. Eobert, major of Engineers, dated headquarters Military Division of the Pacific, San Francisco, Cal., January 31, 1870, as one of the Indian reservations upon which the Apache Indians of Arizona may be collected, fed, clothed, and other- wise provided for and protected, agreeable to the power conferred upon me at the suggestion of the President by the honorable Secre- tary of the Interior, under date July 21, 1871, and supplementary orders July 31, 1871, copies of which are herewith inclosed. Agreeable to your wish that I should name the articles and amount of provisions to be issued, I would suggest that 1 pound of beef and 1 pound of corn per capita be issued with salt daily, and sugar and coffee occasionally.

SfC 3|C *p SlC i|C S|t J|E A detailed description of the Camp Apache Reservation, which was established by Major General Thomas, will be found on file in the War Department. I also requested, with the advice of General Crook and the several f)Ost commanders, that temporary asylums, where the Tontos, Hua- apais, and western band of Apache Mohaves might be protected and fed, should be established at Camp McDowell, Beal Spring, and Date Creek until such times as the Indians collected there could be removed to the above reservations.

EXECUTIVE OBDEES BELATING TO INDIAN EESEBVATIONS. 9 Department or the Interior, Washington, D. C, November 7, 1871. Sir : I have the honor to transmit herewith a copy of a communica- tion addressed to this department by the Hon. Vincent Colyer, one of the board of Indian peace commissioners, who recently visited Arizona, wherein he states his views in relation to the Apache In- dians, and describes certain tracts of country in Arizona and New Mexico which, during his recent visit to said Indians, he has selected to be set apart as reservations for their use, as authorized to do by orders issued to him before visiting the Apaches. I have the honor to recommend, in pursuance of the understanding arrived at in our conversation with the Secretary of War on the 6th instant, that the President issue an order authorizing said tracts of country described in Mr. Golyer's letter to be regarded as reserva- tions for the settlement of Indians until it is otherwise ordered. * * * I would further suggest that the War Department will, for the present, select some suitable and discreet officer of the Army to act as Indian agent for any of the reservations in Arizona which may be occupied by the Indians under the order herein contem- plated. Such agents will be superseded by persons hereafter ap- pointed by this department, at such times as the President may here- after deem proper. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, C. Delano, Secretary. The President. These recommendations were approved by the President as fol- lows: Executive Mansion, Washington, D. G., November 9, 1871. Respectfully referred to the Secretary of War, who will take such action as may be necessary to carry out the recommendations of the Secretary of the Interior. U. S. Grant. And indorsed by General Sherman thus : Headquarters Armt of the United States, Washington, D. C, November 9, 1871. General: I now inclose you copies of a correspondence between the Secretary of the Interior and War Department on the subject of the policy that is to prevail in Arizona with the Apache Indians. The Secretary of War wishes you to give all the necessary orders to carry into full effect this policy, which is the same that prevails in the Indian country generally, viz, to fix and determine (usually with the assent, expressed or implied, of the Indians concerned) the reser- vation within which they may live and be protected by all branches of the Executive Government; but if they wander outside they at once become objects of suspicion, liable to be attacked by the troops as hostile. The three reservations referred to in these papers, and more particularly defined in the accompanying map, seem far enough removed from the white settlements to avoid the dangers of colli- sion of interest. At all events these Indians must have a chance to 10 EXECUTIVE OEDEKS EELATING TO IISTDIAN EESEEVATIONS. escape war, and the most natural way is to assign them homes and to compel them to remain thereon. While they remain on such reser- vations there is an implied condition that they should not be per- mitted to starve, and our experience is that the Indian Bureau is rarely supplied with the necessary money to provide food, in which event you may authorize the commissary department to provide for them, being careful to confine issues only to those acting in good faith and only for absolute wants. The commanding officer of the nearest military post will be the proper person to act as the Indian agent until the regular agents come provided with the necessary authority and funds to relieve them ; but you may yourself or allow General Crook to appoint these temporary agents regardless of rank. The Citizens of Arizona should be publicly informed of these events, and that the military have the command of the President to protect these Indians on their reservations, and that under no pre- tense must they invade them, except under the leadership of the commanding officer having charge of them. The boundaries of these reservations should also be clearly defined, and any changes in them suggested by experience should be reported, to the end that they may be modified or changed by the highest authority. After general notice to Indians and whites of this policy, General Crook may feel assured that whatever measures of severity he may adopt to reduce these Apaches to a peaceful and subordinate condi- tion will be approved by the War Department and the President. I am your obedient servant, W. T. Sherman, General. Gen. J. M. Schofield, Commanding Military Division Pacifio. Executive Mansiok, July 21, 187 Jj..

A detailed description of the Camp Apache Reservation, which was established by Major General Thomas, will be found on file in the War Department. I also requested, with the advice of General Crook and the several post commanders, that temporary asylums, where the Tontos, Huala- pais, and Western Band of Apache Mohaves might be protected and fed, should be esablished at Camp McDowell, Beal Spring, and Date Creek until such times as the Indians collected there could be re- moved to the above reservations. Very respectfully, etc., Vincent Colyer. Hon. C. Delano, Secretary of the Interior, Washington, D. C. Department of the Interior, Washington, D. C, November 7, 1871. Sir : I have the honor to transmit herewith a copy of a communi- cation addressed to this department by the Hon. Vmcent Colyer one of the board of Indian peace commissioners, who recently visited Arizona, wherein he states his views in relation to the Apache In- EXECtTTIVB OBDBES KBLATING 1 TO INDXA.N BESBBVATIONS. 33 dianS, and describes certain tracts of country, in Arizona and New Mexicoi which, during his recent visit to said Indians, he hajs selected to be set apart as reservations foxrtheir use, as authorized to do by orders issued to him before visiting the 1 Apaches. I have the honor to recommend, in pursuance of the understanding arrived at in our conversation with the Secretary of War on the 6th iastant, that the President issue an order authorizing said tfacts of country described in Mr. Colyer's letter to be regarded, as reser- vations for the settlement of ' Indians until it is otherwise or- dered. * * * I would further suggest that > the War Department will, for the present, select some suitable and discreet, officer of the Army to act as Indian agent for any of the reservations in Arizona which may be occupied oy the Indians under the order herein contemplated. Such agents will be superseded by persona hereafter appointed by this department at such times as the President may hereafter deem proper. ,'i . Very respectfully, your obedient servant, C. DELAJiTO, Secretary. The PEEsroENT. These recommendations were appi-oved by the President as follows : Executive Mansion, Washington, D. C, Nov^^er 9, 1871. Respectfully referred to the Secretary of War, who will take such action as may be necessary to carry out the recommendations of the Secretary of the Interior. , ,, U. S. Grant. And indorsed by General Sherman thus: Headqijakteks Aemt of the United States, Washington, D. C, November 9, 1871. Genei^aj.: I now inclose you- copies, of a correspondence between the Secretary of the Interior and War Department on the subject of the policy that is to prevail in. Arizona with the Apache Indians. The Secretary of War wishes you to give all the necessary orders to carry into fuU effect this policy, which is the same that prevails _ih the Indian country generally., viz, to fix and determine (usually with the assent expressed or implied of the Indians concerned) the reser- vation within which they may live and be protected by all branches of the Executive Government; but if they wander outside they at once become objects, of suspicion, liable to be attacked, by the troops as hostile. The three reservatioiis referred to in these papeirs, and more particularly defined in the accompanying map, seem far enougli removed from the white settlements to avoid thc; dangers of collision of intefpst. At all events, these Indians must have a chance to es- cape, war, and the most natural way is to assign them homes and to Compel them to remain thereon. While they remain on such reser- vations there is an implied condition that they should not be per- mitted to starve, and our experience is that tlje Indian Bureau is rarely supplied with the necessary money to provide food, in which 34 EXECUTIVE ORDERS RELATING TO INDIAN RESERVATIONS. event you may authorize the commissary department to provide for them, being careful to confine issues only to those acting in good faith, and only for absolute wants. The commanding officer of the nearest military post will be the proper person to act as the Indian agent until the regular agents come provided with the necessary authority and funds to relieve them; but you may yourself, or allow General Crook to, appoint these temporary agents regardless of rank. The citizens of Arizona should be publicly informed of these events, and that the military have the command of the Pr^ident to protect these Indians on their reservations, and that under no pre- tense must they invade them, except under the leadership of the commanding officer having charge of them. The boundaries of these reservations should also be clearly defined, and any changes in them suggested by experience should be reported, to the end that they may be modified or changed by the highest authority. After general notice to Indians and whites of this policy, General Crook may feel assured that whatever measures of severity he may adopt to reduce these Apaches to a peaceful and subordinate condi- tion will be approved by the War Department and the President. I am, your obedient servant, W. T. Sherman, General, G«n. J. M. SCHOMELD, Com/mwnding Military Division Paci-fic. Executive Mansion, December H, 1872.

Wm, H. Taft. KLAMATH RIVEB. RESERVATION. [Incorporated In and made part of Hoopa Valley Reservation.] Department of the Interior, Office of Indian Affairs, November 10, 1855. < Sir : Referring to your communication of the 8th of August last to the Acting Commissioner of Indian Affairs, advising him of the a'ffproval by the President of the United States of the recommenda- tion of the department that it was expedient to expend the money 40 EXECUTIVE ORDEKS RELATING TO INDIAN BESEEVATIONS. appropriated on the 3d of March last for removing the Indians in- California to two additional military reservations, I have the honor now to make the following report : On the 15th of August last the acting commissioner inclosed a copy of your letter ,of the 8th of that month to the, superintendent of Indian affairs in California, with directions to select these reserva- tions from such " tracts of land adapted, as to soil, climate, water privileges, and timber, to the comfortable and permanent accommo- dation of the Indians, which tracts should be unencumbered by old Spanish grants or claims of recent white settlers," limting the di- mensions of the reserves to witjiin 25,000 acres each,, a:pid to report To this office a description of their geographical position in relati'pa to streams, mountain ranges, and county lines, etc., and , indicating the same upon a map. A copy of that letter is herewith, marked "A." By the last mail from California I have received from Super- intendent Thomas I. Henley a report upon this subject, dated the 4th ultimo (a copy of which is herewith, marked " ? "), by, which it appears he recommends as one of the reservations aforesaid " a strip of territory 1 mile in width on each side of the (Klamath) riv^ for a distance of 20 miles. The superintendent remarks upon the character of the country selected, and incloses an extract from a report (also, herewith, marked " C ") to him of the 19th of June last, by Mr. S. G. Whipple, which contains in some detail a description of the country selected, habits and usages of the Indians, etc., but no map is furnished. It will be observed from this report of the superintendent that he has deemed it important to continue the employ of an agent and to prepare for raising a crop^ in order to assure the Indians of the good faith of the Xjovernment and to preserve the peace of the country. Considering the great distance of this reservation from the seat of government and the length of time it necessarily requires to com- municate with an agency at the Klamath, it is desirable that some definite action be taken, if practicable, before the sailing of the next steamer, to leave New York on the 20th instant. I therefore beg leave to ask your attention to the subject, and if you shall be of the opinion, from the representations made by the superintendent in California and Mr. Whipple, that the selection at the mouth of the Klamath Eiver is a judicious and proper one, that it be laid before the President of the United States for his ap- proval, but with the provision, however, that upon a survey of the tract selected that a sufficient quantity be cut off from the upper end of the proposed reserve to bring it within the limitation of 25 000 acres, authorized by the act of 3d March last. 1 also inclose herewith a copy of another letter from Superinten- dent Henley, of 4th ultimo (marked "D"), in which he states in relation to the other reserve, that it is intended to locate it " between"^ the headwaters of Russian Eiver and Cape Mendocino." In refer- ence to both of these proposed reserves, and as connected with the means to be used to maintain peaceable relations with the Indians the superintendent is of opinion that it is of great importance to provide for crops, and that to do so an agent in each instance is necessary. As this last-named selection has not been defined by any .specific boundaries, and no sufficient description is given as to soil EXECUTIVE OEDEES EELATING TO INDIAN EESEEVATIONS. 41 climate, and suitableness for Indian purposes, to enable the depart- ment to determine the matter understandingly, of course nothing definite can now be done. But it 'ihay'not be improper to consider the subject in connection with the general intent as to the particular locality in which it is proposed to make the location. ' The reserve proposed on the Klamath Eiver and Pacific coast does not appear from the map of the State of California to be very far removed from Cape Mendocino, or a point between that and Eussian River; and as provision is made only for two reserves in the State, other than those already in operation, the question arises whether it should not be situated farther in the interior, or perhaps eastern part of the State, than the point referred to. The Noome Lacke Eeserve is situated in one of the Sacramento valleys, at about the latitude of 40° north and 122° of longitude west, about the center of that portion of the State north of the port of San Francisco. As, therefore, the proposed Klamath Eeserve Ijeing northwest from the Noome Lacke Eeservatioh, would appear to be adapted to the con- venient use of the Indians in that direction, the question is suggested whether the other reserve should not be located farther east and north, say on the tributaries of either Pitt or Feather Elvers. As in the case of the proposed reserve of the Klamath, I am desirous of obtaining your opinion and that of the President of the United States, with such decision as may be arrived at under the circum- stances, in season to communicate the same by the next California mail, for the government of the action of Superintendent Henley. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, Geo. W. Manypbnny, Commissioner. Hon. E. McClelland, Secretary of the Interior. Department or the Interior, Washington, D. G., November 12, 1855. Sir : I have the honor to submit herewith the report from the Com- missioner of Indian Affairs of the 10th instant, and its accompanying papers, having relation to two of the reservations in California for Indian purposes, authorized by the act of 3d March last. The precise limits of but one of the reservations, viz, a strip of ter- ritory commencing at the Pacific Ocean and extending 1 mile in width on each side of the Klamath Eiver, are given, no suflicient data being furnished to justify any definite action on the other. T recommend your approval of the proposed Klamath [Eiver] Reservation, with the provision, however, that upon a survey of the tract a sufficient quantity be cut off from the upper end thereof to bring it within the limit of 25,000 acres authorized by law. EespectfuUy, your obedient servant^ E. McClelland, Secretary. The President. November 16, 1855. Let the reservation be made as proposed.

Sir : Referring to the report I had the honor to submit for your consideration on the 10th of November last relative to the establish- ment of a military reservation for the benefit of the Indians of northern California, upon both sides of the Klamath River, from its month the distance of 20 miles up the samej and to the remarks then made upon the subject of establis'hing a third similar reservation as proposed by the superintendent of Indian affairs in Calif ornia,_ at Cape Mendocino, or at some point between that place and Russian River, or, as appeared to this office at that time more expedient, far- ther in the interior and easterly part of the State, I have now respect- fully to call your attention again to the subject, and to submit for your consideration the following documents. * , * , * * » * « From these documents it appears that the section between the Noyo River on the south and Bee-da-loe or Hale Creek on the north, ex- tending from the coast on the west to the Coast Mountains, combines advantages which are not to be found in any of the other locations examined, reference being had to the purposes for which ii is required and to the habits and necessities of the Indians. The tract intended for the reservation lies between the south bank of the Noyo River, so as to include that river, and a point 1 mile north of the mouth of the Hale or Bee-da-loe Creek, extending east- ward from the coast for quantity so as to include the valleys beyond the first range of hills to the Coast Mountains, conforming to their shape. Its geographical position is in Mendocino County, about 170 miles from San Francisco, and 80 miles south of Cape Mendocino, 70 miles northwest of Clear Lake, and about 180 miles from Sacramento City. It is proposed to embrace within the limits of the reservation 25,000 acres of land. If upon an examination of the subject you shall come to a similar conclusion, I have respectfully to request that the proposition may be laid before the President of the United States for his approval, and that the superintendent may be enabled to carry out with him, on his return to his post by the steamer of the 20th instant, such decision as may be made m the premises. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, George W. Manypenny, OommAsaio-ner. Hon. R. McClelland, Secretary of the Interior. Department of the Interior, Washington, April 17, 1856.

Sir: I have the honor to call your attention to a report from this office, dated January 15, 1870, in which was inclosed a letter from J. B. McIntoSh, brevet major-general, United States Army, and superintendent of Indian affairs for California, dated December 27,. 44 EXECUTIVE OEDEES EELATING TO INDIAN EESEBVATIONS. 1869, and report of Lieut. A. P. Greene, U. S. A., agent for Mission Jndians in southern California, dated Los Angeles, Cal., December 16, 1869, recommending that San Pasqual and Pala Valleys in southern California be set apart as reservations for the Mission In- dians in said State. In my report above referred to I recommended that the following- described lands should be set apart for said reservations, viz : Town- s-hips 12 and 13 south, of ranges 1 east and 1 west, and township 9 south, of ranges 1 and 2 west, of the San Bernardino meridian, California. My recommendation, meeting with the approval of the Secretary of the Interior, was forwarded to the President, who, on the 31st of January, 1870, ordered that the above-designated lands should be set apart as reservations for Indian purposes. It appears from the papers transmitted herewith that the citizens of San Diego County protest against the order of the President setting apart said lands for Indian reservations ; that the Indians are unanimously opposed to going on said reservations; that citizens have made valuable improvements thereon, and that there are but few Indians on the lands set apart as aforesaid; that recent gold discoveries have attracted a large immigration thither, and the, opinion of the press, together with other evidence, would indicate that it would be for the best interests and welfare of the Indians, as well as others, that the order of the President setting apart said lands for Indian purposes should be rescinded. In view of these facts I would therefore respectfully recommend that the order of the President be revoked and that the aforesaid reservations be again restored to the public domain. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, E. S. Parker, Com/missioner, Hon. C. Delano, Secretary of the Interior.

Sir: * * * in accordance to your recommendation the Secre- tary of the Interior has directed that the entire Nome Cult Valley shall be retained as a reservation, and you are required immediately after the receipt of this letter to give public notice to that effect. ****** ♦ Very respectfully, etc., J. W. Denver, Commissioner. Thomas I. Henley, Esq., Superintendent, etc., San Francisco, OeH, Department of the Interior, Office of Indian Affairs, January 6, 1860. Sir: I have to aclniowledge the receipt of your letter of the 31st ultimo, inclosing a diagram indicating the public surveys in Round Valley, California, together with accompanying papers pertaining to allegations respecting an Indian reservation in that valley; and in reply to your inquiry in relation to evidence of the existence of a reserve in that locality, I herewith inclose a copy of a letter from ih.\s office to late Superintendent Henley, of November 18, 1858, from which you will perceive that by order of the Secretary of the Interior, the entire valley of Nome Cult, designated by you as the Round Val- ley, was set apart and reserved for Indian purposes, and Mr. Henley was directed to give public notice to that effect. In regard to the alleged statement of late Superintendent Henley to Deputy Surveyor Hatch, that he had appropriated a portion of said valley for an Indian farm, but that the same had never been recognized by the Government, I would remark that said valley was selected for Indian purposes by Mr. Henley in 1856; and Special Agent S. P. Storms gave it the name of Nome Cult, under the im- pression that he was the first discoverer of a new valley. An Indian farm was then established at that point, under his superivision, which has been cultivated and improved at the expense of the Government from that period to the present time, and is still held for Indian use. There is a letter on file here, dated May 7, 1858, from the then Superintendent Henley, in which he makes use of the following language in regard to the Nome Cult Farm : This farm seems in a prosperous condition, and bids fair, in my judgment, to become the best location for the subsistence of Indians we have yet selected. Again, in a letter of the 28th of February last, he calls attention to intrusions upon the rights of Indians in this valley, and inclosed, 56 EXECUTIVE ORDERS RELATING TO INDIAN BESEBVATIONS. for the information of this office, a copy of a letter from Special Agent Storms, in charge of the " Round Valley Farm." These facts are deemed sufficient to show that the Round Valley has been set apart and recognized by the department for an Indian reservation; and I have to request that you vsrill respect the same- upon the books of your office, and notify the local office in California accordingly. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, A. B. Greenwood, Corrmdssioner, Joseph S. Wilson, Esq., Acting Commissioner General Land Office. (June 21, 1860, the General Land Office transmitted to this office plat of a survey of the boundaries of this reserve, certified by the surveyor general of California May 4, 1860, which showed the reserve as surveyed at that time to be situated in townships 22 and 23 north,, of ranges 12 aiw^ 13 west, of Mount Diablo meridian, California, and to embrace 25,030.08 acres.)

This department concurs in the recommendation of the Commis- sioner of Indian Affairs that the lands indicated upon the annexed diagram, and defined in the accompanying report of the Commis- sioner of the General Land Office, of the 6th instant, be set apart as reservations for the Indians referred to, and I have the honor to request, if it meet your approval, that you make the requisite order in the premises. With great respect, your obedient servant, W. T. Otto, Acting Secretary. The President. Washington, D. C, June H, 1867. Let the lands be set apart as reservations for the Indians within named as recommended by the Acting Secretary of the Interior. Andrew Johnson. Department of the Interior, Office of Indian Affairs, July S3, 1869. Sir : I have the honor to submit herewith a letter from Charles F. Powell, special United States Indian agent, Fort Hall Agency, Idaho Territory, dated the 30th ultimo, which letter was forwarded to this office, with indorsement dated the 6th instant, by Hon. D. W. Ballard, governor and ex officio superintendent of Indian affairs for said Territory, and would respectfully call your attention to that portion of Agent Powell's letter relative to a selection of reservation for the Bannock Indians. 76 EXECUTIVE ORDEES EELATING TO INDIAN EESEEVATIONS. It is provided in the second article of the treaty concluded with the Eastern Band of Shoshones and the Bannock Tribe of Indians, July 3, 1868, that whenever the Bannocks desire a reservation to be set apart for their use, or whenever the President of the United States shall deem it advisable for them to be put upon a reservation, he shall cause a suitable one to be selected for them in their present country, which shall embrace reasonable portions of the Port Neuf and '■ Kansas prairie " countries, and that when the reservation is declared the United States will secure to the Bannocks the same rights and privileges therein and make the same and like expenditures therein for their benefit, except the agency house and residence of agent, in proportion to their numbers, as herein provided for the Shoshone Reservation. By virtue of Executive order dated June 14, 1867 (herewith in- closed), there was set apart a reservation for the Indians in south- ern Idaho, including the Bannocks. This reserve, it will be observed front the diagram accompanying said Executive order, embraces a portion of the country which the treaty provision above quoted provides the reservation for the Bannocks shall be selected from. It appears from. the letter of Agent Powell that the Bannocks are at present upon the reserve set apart by Executive order as above stated, and that they desire to remain there. I think the area embraced within this reserve is sufficient for the Bannocks and any other In- dians that it may be desired to locate thereon. I therefore respect- fully recommend that the same be designated as the reserve pro- vided for in the treaty of July 3, 1868, as hereinbefore recited, and that the President be requested to so direct. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, E. S. Paekeb, Commissioner. Hon. J. D. Cox, Secretary of the Intenor. Department of the Interior, WasMngton, D. C, July 29, 1869. Sir: I have the honor to submit herewith a communication from the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, dated the 23d instant, and ac- companying papers, relative to the designation of a reservation in Idaho for the Bannock Indians, as provided by the second article of the treaty of July 3, 1868, with that tribe, and for the reasons stated by the commissioner, respectfully recommend that you direct that the lands reserved by an Executive order dated June 14, 1867, for the Indians of southern Idaho, including the Bannocks, be desig- nated as the reservation provided for said tribe by the second article of the treaty referred to, dated July 3, 1868. With great respect, your obedient servant, J. D. Cox, Secretary. The President. Executive Mansion, July 30, 1869. The within recommendation of the Secretary of the Interior is hereby approved, and within the limits of the tract reserved by Ex- EXECUTIVE OKDEKS EELATING TO INDIAN KESBEVATIONS. 77 ecutive order of June 14, 1867, for the Indians of southern Idaho will be designated a reservation provided for the Bannocks by the second article of the treaty with said tribe of July 3, 1868.

Valley Indian Reservation. Said tract of country is estimated to contain about 100 square mil^s, and is in lieu of the tract provided for in the third article of an un- 1, ratified treaty made and concluded at Virginia City, Montana Ter- litory, on the 24:th of September, 1868. , U.

Johnson, missionaries of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Michigan, addressed to Rev. Dr. Durbin, and by him forwarded to this office, in relation to certain desired reservations of public lands. In consideration of certain contemplated arrangements with the Indians in Michigan during the ensuing spring, I have to ask that you reserve from public sale the lands designated in the letter of Messrs. Smith and Johnson. I have also received a communication from the Rev. J. P. Durbin, corresponding secretary of the Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church, asking for an additional reservation of lands near Iroquois Point, back from the lake. For the reasons above, I concur in the request, and ask that several additional sections to those already reserved be made of the lands in the vicinity of Iroquois Point. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, Geo. W. Manypenny, Commissioner. John Wilson, Esq., Commissioner of General Land 0-ffice, General Land Office, December 20. 1854. Sir: I have the honor to transmit a communication from the Com- missioner of Indian Affairs, addressed to this office, bearing date the 11th instant, and its inclosure. recommending, for reasons stated the withdrawal from market and reservation for Indian purposes the lands in Isabella County, Mich., or so much thereof as mav be deemed expedient. The pink-shaded lines on the inclosed printed map show the limits of Isabella County, covering, according to the maps of this office townships 13, 14, 15, and 16 north, of ranges 3, 4, 5, and 6 west of the Michigan meridian, in the Ionia district, the whole of which are re- quested to be reserved, and the numbers 1. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, placed on cer- tain townships, show the order of the preference to be given should it be determined to reserve less than the east half of the countv. From an estimate just made at this office it appears that only about two-ninths of the whole surface has been disposed of, although three of the townships have been in market since 1833, and the balance since 1840. 78 EXECUTIVE ORDERS RELATIKG TO INDIAN RESERVXtIONS. 79 As regards the conditions mentioned in the Rev. George Smith's letter (among the papers), that the reserve be made " for the Chip- pewa Indians of Michigarl, to be purchased under the direction of the missionary society," etc., I have to remark that no such privilege could, in my opinion, be given without legislation of Congress. 1 am, very respectfully, your obedient servant, ' John Wilson, ComrmssiQner. Hon. Robert McClelland, Secretary of the Interior. Department of the Interior, April 12, 1865. Sir: I have the honor to submit herewith two letters from the Commissioner of the General Land Office in relation to the with- drawal of certain lands in Michigan from sale with a view to the benefit hereafter of certain Indian tribes, in accordance with the inti- inations of the Indian Office. The first letter, that of the 20th of December last, has reference to lands in Isabella County, Mich., and that of the 10th instant to land in a new county, called Emmet, in the same State, the former county containing 16 and the latter 27 townships and fractional townships, and the withdrawal appears to be desired by thei Indian Office "in consequence of certain contemplated arrangements with the Indians in Michigan during the present spring." The matter connected with the letter of the 20th December has been delayed, waiting more spe- cific information from the Indian Office as to the specific land wanted, which is supplied by this letter of the 10th instant from that office. The philanthropic policy of furnishing these Indians, who are de- sirous of -becoming, cultivators of the soil, with land for that purpose, to the greatest possible extent separated from evil example or annoy- ance of unprincipled yhitesi who might be disposed: to seittlp in their vicinity, or within their midst, after farms already opened by them had rendered the surrounding land more valuable is apparent, and I have no hesitation in recommending your sanction to the withdrawal of the lands indicated in each of said communications from the Land Office, but it must be with the express understanding that no peculiar or exclusive claim to any of the land so withdrawn can be acquired by said Indians, for whose future benefit it is understood to be made, until after they shall by future legislation be invested with the legal title thereto. With much respect, your obedient servant, R. McClelland, Secretary. The President or the United States. [Indorsement.] May 14, 1855. Let the withdrawal of all the vacant land in Isabella County be made with the express understanding contained in the letter of the Secretary of the Interior to me of the 12th instant. : Franklin Pierce.

LITTLE TSA VERSE RESERVATION. Department of the Interior, Office of Indian Aitairs, April 12, 1864. ' Sir : I have the honor to transmit herewith, for your consideration, a copy of a letter fyora Agent Leach, in which he recommends that townships 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, and 39 north, range 4 west, and town- ships 34, 37, 38, and 39 nortli, range 3 west be withdrawn from sale, with a view to an enlargement of the Little Traverse Reservation. In his annual report for 1863 (see annual report of this office for 1863, pp. 377 and 378) Agent Leach gives his reasons at length in favor of an enlargement of the Little Traverse, Reservation, with a view to the removal of the Indians from Mackinac, Beaver Island, Thunder Bay, and those east of the Grand Traverse Bay, and locating them all upon the Little Traverse Reservation, thereby greatly re- ducing the expenses of the agency, andj as hoped, much improving the condition of the Indians. Concurring in the views expressed by Agent Leach in his report above referred to, I respectfully recommend that the townships named in his letter be withdrawn from sale, with a view to the proposed enlargement of the Little Traverse Reservation. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, W. P. Dole, Commissioner. Hon. J. P. Usher, Secretary of the Interior. [First Indorsement.] Department of the Interior, April 15, 1864.

It is therefore ordered and directed that all Indians residiiig in said Bitter Root Valley be remoyed; as sopn as practicable to the reservation provided for in the second article of said treaty, and that a just and impartial appraisement be made of any substantial im- provements made by said Indians upon any lands of the Bitter Root , Valley, such as fields inclosed and cultivated and houses erected; that such appraisement shall distinguish between improvements made before the date of said treaty and such as have been subsequently made. It is further ordered that, after the removal herein directed shall have been made, the Bitter Root Valley aforesaid sh^U be open to settlement. It is further ordered that if any of said Indians residing in the Bitter Root Valley desire to become citizens and reside upon the lands which they now occupy, not exceeding in quantity what is allowed under the homestead and preemption laws to all citizens, s)ich persons shall be permitted to remain in said valley upon making known to the superintendent of Indian affairs for Montana Territory by the 1st day of January, 1873, their intention to comply with these conditions.

Sir : I have the honor to inclose herewith a copy of a letter dated June 26, ultimo, from Alex. Johnson, Esq., of this office, who has recently visited the reservation of the Sioux Indians on the Niobrara River, in Nebraska, in which he recommends an enlargement of said reservation for the reason that there is an insufficiency of timber for the use of the Indians within the present limits of their reservation. The present reservation, embracing townships 31 and 32 north, of ranges 5 and 6 west, in Nebraska, were set apart for this purpose by order of the President under date of February 27, 1866. Mr. Johnson states that there is good timber upon the rivers both above and below the present reservation, and I therefore recommend that township 33 north, range 5 west, and townships 31 and 32 north, ranges 7 and 8 west, in Nebraska, be withdrawn from sale and added to said reservation. I deem it important that immediate action should be had upon this subject, in order that the minds of the Indians may be quieted upon the subject of their permanent home and that thereby they may be induced to settle down and engage in the pursuits of civilized life. Should you approve the same, I respectfully recommend that the President be requested to direct that the aforesaid townships be added to said reservation as a permanent reservation for said Indians.

Bateman and Barnes, United States Indian agents in Nevada, under his instructions of April 12, 1875, which selection having met his approval, he forwards, with the recommendation that the following metes and bounds be established and proclaimed by Executive order 112 EXECUTIVE OKDEES RELATING TO INDIAN BESERVAIIONS. as the boundaries of the Pai-Ute Reservation in southeastern Ne- vadaj as contemplated by said act of Congress, viz : Commencing at a stone set in the ground, extending 3 feet above, whereon is cut " U.

U. S. Grant. NEW MEXICO. BOSQTJE KEDONDO RESERVATION. Department of the Interior, Office of Indian Affairs, January H, 186^. Sir : My attention has been called by Superintendent Steck, of New Mexico, to the necessity of designating a tract of land in New Mexico 40 miles square, with Bosque Redondo as the center, as a reservation for the Apache Indians. In a former letter to this office, a copy of which was transmitted (o you with report thereon, under date of December 16, 1863, Superin- tendent Steck speaks of the proposed reservation as well adapted to Indian purposes for a limited number. Mr. Steck estimates the number of Apaches to be about 3,000 and the quantity of arable land within the boundaries of the proposed reservation at not exceed- ing 6,000 acres. Surveyor General Clark, of New Mexico, in a letter to Mr. Steck, a copy of which was transmitted to you with the report before mentioned, makes the same estimate as to the quantity of arable land within 40 miles square, with Bosque Redondo as a center. Owing to the fact that the arable land lies along the water courses, it seems to be necessary that the area of the reservation should be as large as that proposed by Mr. Steck, in order to suitably accommodate the estimated number of Apaches and isolate them as far as possible from the whites. For the reasons given by Mr. Steck in his letter before referred to, as well as for those given in his annual report for 1863, to both of which reference is had, should you concur in the propriety of reserv- ing the tract of land mentioned for the use of the Apaches, I would respectfully recommend that the subject be laid before the President, with the recommendation that the same may be withheld from pre- emption and settlement, and under his proclamation be set apart for Indian purposes. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, William P. Dole, Commissioner. Hon. John P. Usher, Secretary of the Interior. [First Indorsement.] Department of the Interior, January IB., 1864.. Respectfully laid before the President, with the recommendation that the reservation be set apart for the purposes herein indicated. J. P. Usher, Secretary.

CiiES'rEE A. Arthur. TULEROSA VALLEY RESERVATION. Camp Tuleeosa, N. Mex., August £9, 1871. Sir: Agreeably to the power conferred upon me by the President, and communicated to me in the letter of the honorable Secretary of the Interior of the 22d July, 1871, that I should proceed to New Mexico and Arizona- and there take such action as in my judgment should be deemed wisest and most proper for locating the nomadic tribes of those Territories upon suitable reservations, bringing them under the control of the proper officers of the Indian Department, etc., assisted by yourself and O. F. Piper, agent for the Southern Apache Indians, I have carefully examined the place and neighbor- hood at Canada Alamosa, where the agency is at present loc!\ted. and for several reasons find the same unsuitable for a reservation. As- sisted by the officers named above, I have also carefully inspected the valley of the Tulerosa, and finding the same to possess most of the requisites necessary to a home for the Indians, it being remote from white settlements, surrounded by mountains, and easily crossed, with sufficient arable lands, good water, and plenty of wood and game, I hereby declare the said valley of the Tulerosa, beginning at the head- waters of the Tulerosa River and its tributaries in the mountains, and extending down the same 2 miles on each side for a distance of 30 miles, to be an Indian reservation for the sole use and occupation of the Southern and other roving bands of Apache Indians, their agent, and other officers ancl employees of the Government, the laws relating to Indian reservations in the United States governing the same until such time as the Executive or Congi-ess shall set aside this order. I would therefore suggest that Agent Piper be instructed to remove his agency and the Indians under his charge from Canada Alamosa to the Tulerosa Valley as soon as practicable after the re- ceipt of this letter. The War Department having directed the officers commanding the district of New Mexico and Arizona to afford mili- tary protection to such Indians as may be induced to come in, both on their waiy and after arrival at the reservation, the agency will be umply protected, aiid the department having authorized me to sup- ply these Indians with whatever may be necessary, you are at liberty EXECUTIVE OEDEES EELATING TO INDIAN EESEEVATIONS. 129 to incur such moderate expenditures as may be absolutely necessary to carry out the above instructions.

The purpose of this exclusion is to restore in all respects the Zuni Indian Reservation, and that part of the Navajo Indian Reservation not affected by Executive Order No. 1284 of January 16, 1911, to the status existing prior to the said proclamation of March 2, 1909, as though the inclusion of the lands within the Zuni National Forest had not been ordered, and said Indian Reservations are hereby fully re-created and restored to that status, with the exception above men- tioned. Wm. H. Taft. NORTH DAKOTA. TORT BERTHOLD RESERVATION. Headquarters, Fort Stevenson, September 25, 1869. Sir: I have the honor to report that I have consulted the best ■guides and obtained all available information in addition to my own examination as far as it was practicable in regard to a reser- Tation for the Arickaree, Gros Ventre, and Mandan Indians. I had an interview with the chiefs of the three tribes and read the ■communication from the Commissioner of Indian Affairs forwarded to me from the commanding general of the department, with which they seemed much pleased. T proposed to them, the following reser- vation, with which they were satisfied: From a point on the Missouri Hiver 4 miles below the Indian village (Berthold), in a northeast •direction 3 miles (so as to include the wood and grazing around the village) ; from this point a line running so as to strike the Missouri River at the junction of Little Knife River with it; thenoe along the left bank of the Missouri River to the mouth of the Yellowstone River, along the south bank of the Yellowstone River to the Powder ■ IRiver, up the Powder River to where the Little Powder River unites with it; thence in a direct line across to the starting point 4 miles iibelow Berthold. The Indians desired that the reservation should ■extend to the Mouse River, but in view of a railroad passing over that country I did not accede to their wish. They seemed to compre- hend my reason for not doing so and were satisfied. I have endeav- 'ored in' this proposed reservation to give them land enough to cul- tivate and for hunting and grazing purposes. I inclose a sketch of the proposed reservation. Very respectfully, sir, S. A. Wainwright, Captain, Twenty-second Infantry, Commanding Post. Bvt. Brig. Gen. O. D. Greene, Adjutant General Department of Dakota, St. Paul, Minn. Department of the Interior, Ori'TCE or Indian Afeairs, Washington, D. C, April 2, 1870. Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith a letter of Capt. S. A. "Wainwright, Twenty-second United States Infantry, commanding post at Fort Stevenson, Dak., dated September 25 last, indorsed re- spectively by the commanding officer of the Department of Dakota ■•and by the assistant adjutant general of the Military Division of 131 132 EXECUTIVE OBDEES RELATING TO INDIAN EESEEVATIONS. the Missouri, and forwarded by the Adjutant General of the United States Army to this office, relative to setting apart of a reservation for the Arickaree, Gros Ventre, and Mandan Indians. This has been the subject of correspondence before between Maj. Gen. Winfield S. Hancock, commanding Department of Dakota, and this office General Hancock, in a letter dated near Fort Rice, Dak., July 21, 1869, addressed to Bvt. Maj. Gen. George L. Hartsuff, assistant ad- jutant general. Military Division of the Missouri (copy of which has been furnished by direction of Lieutenant General Sheridan to this office), states that the Arickaree, Grosventre, and Mandan Indians, among others, complain " that whites come on their land at Berthold and cut wood for sale to steamboats. They want this stopped. They are willing that boats should go and cut all they want, laut do not want strangers to come and sell their wood while they are starving; thev want to cut and sell it themselves." (jeneral Hancock further states, in the letter above referred to, that he did not know whether those Indians had a reservation or not, and that he has instructed the commanding officer at Fort Stevenson to examine the country about Berthold and to recommend what por- tion should be set off for them. By letter dated August 16 last General Hancock was informed by this office that by the treaty concluded at Fort Laramie October 17, 1851, which was not ratified but was amended by the Senate, and the stipulations as amended fulfilled by the Government, the follow- ing are given as the boundaries of a reservation for the Gros Ventres, Arickarees, and Mandans^ viz: Commencing at the mouth of Heart River; thence up the Missouri to the mouth of the Yellowstone River; thence up the Yellowstone to the mouth of Powder River; thence southeast to the headwaters of the Little Missouri River; thence along the Black Hills to the head of Heart River, and down said river to the place of beginning. A subsequent treaty was concluded with these Indians at Fort Berthold July 27, 1866. This makes no provision in regard to a reservation. The Indians, parties to the same, grant to the United States the right to lay out and construct roads, highways, and tele- graphs throughout their country, and they cede to the United States " their right and title to the following lands situated on the northeast side of the Missouri River, to wit : Beginning on the Missouri River, at the mouth of Snake River, about 30 miles below Fort Berthold; thence up the Snake River in a northeast direction 25 miles ; thence southwardly, parallel to the Missouri River, to a point opposite and 25 miles east of old Fort Clarke ; thence west to a point on the Mis- souri River opposite the old Fort Clarke; thence up the Missouri River to the place of beginning." This treaty has never been ratified, but appropriations have been made by Congress in accordance with its provisions. There are no treaty stipulations with these Indians relative to a reservation for them wliich have been ratified. It is proper here to state that the reservation as proposed by Captain Wainwright is a part of the country belonging to the Aric- karee, Gros Ventre, and Mandan Indians, according to the agreement of Fort Laramie, with the addition of a strip of land east of the EXECUTIVE OKDEKS RELATING TO' INDIAN RESERVATIONS. 13b Missouri River from Fort Bferthold Indian village to the mouth of Little Knife River, as shown by the inclosed diagram, and I there- fore respectfully recommend that an order of the Executive may be invoked, directing the setting apart of a reservation for said Indians as proposed.

Chester A. Arthur. OKLAHOMA. CHEYENNE AND ARAPAHO RESERVATION. Department of the Interior, Office of Indian Affairs, June 19, 1869. Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt, by reference from the Secretary of the Interior, on the 10th instant, of a letter from Adjt. Gen. E. D. Townsend, bearing date the 9th instant, in- closing a copy of a telegram dated Fort Leavenworth, Kans., June 8, 1869, from Maj. Gen. J. M. Schofield to Gen. W. T. Sherman, recom- mending that the reservation for the Arapaho Indians be changed from its present location to the North Fork of the Canadian River, and requesting a report thereon from this office. By the term^ of the treaty with the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes of Indians, proclaimed August 19, 1868, it is provided in the second article thereof that "the United States agrees that the following district of country, to wit: Commencing at the point where the Arkansas River crosses the thirty-seventh parallel of north latitude; thence west on said parallel — the said line being the southern bound- ary of the State of Kansas — to the Cimarron River (sometimes called the Red Fork of the Arkansas River) ; thence down said Cimarron River, in the middle of the main channel thereoi, to the Arkansas River; thence up the Arkansas River, in the middle of the main channel thereof, to the place of beginninj^, shall be, and the same is herebjr, set apart for the absolute and undisturbed use and occupation of the Indians herein named, and for such other friendly tribes or individual Indians as from time to time they may be willing, with the consent of the United States, to admit among them." It will be seen from the language of the second article of said treaty, just quoted, that a reservation upon which they are now located has already been provided for said Indians within the bound- aries in said article designated, but I am of opinion that it would be better for both the Indians and the Government if they were to be removed to the North Fork of the Canadian River, in accordance with the suggestions of General Schofield, provided any authority can be found for removing and locating said Indians in the manner contemplated. Should you be of opinion that such authority exists, and determine in pursuance thereof to cause a removal of said Indians to be made from their present reservation, I would suggest that a tract of coun- try be set aside for their occupation and use bounded as follows, viz : Commencing at the point where the Washita River crosses the ninety- eighth degree of west longitude; thence north on a line with, said ninety-eighth degree to the point where it is crossed by the Red Fork 138 EXECUTIVE ORDERS RELATING TO INDIAN RESERVATIONS. 139 of the Arkansas (sometimes called the .Cimarron River) ; thence up said river, in. the middle of the main channel thereof, to the north boundary of the country ceded to the United States by the treaty of June 14, 1866, with the Creek Nation of Indians; thence west on "said north boundary and the north boundary of the country ceded to the United States by the treaty of March 21, 1866, with the Seminole Indians, to the one hundredth degree of west longitude; thence south on the line of said one hundredth degree to the north boundary of the country set apart for the Kiowas and Comanches by the second article of the treaty concluded October 21, 1867, with said tribes; thence east along said boundary to the point where it strikes the Washita. River; thence down said Washita River, in. the middle of the main channel thereof, to the place of beginning. The territory comprised within the boundaries last above desig- nated contains a small portion of the country ceded to the United •States by the terms of the treaty with the Creek Indians concluded June 14, 1866; a portion of the country ceded to the United States by the terms of the treaty with the Seminole Indians concluded March 21, 1866, and the remainder is composed of a portion of what is commonly known as the " leased country." Inasmuch as this office has no information , upon the subject, ex- cept that conveyed by the telegram of General Schofield. which is very meager and indefinite, I am unable to determine the causes which seem to require this change, and I would therefore respectfully suggest, unless there is some pressing necessity which will admit of no delay, whether it would not be well to refer the matter to the proper officers of this bureau for investigation and report before any action is taken. The letter of Adjutant General Townsend, together with the copy of the telegram of General Schofield, is herewith returned. Very respectfully, etc., E. S. Parker, Commissioner, Hon. W. T. Otto, Acting Secretary of the Interior. Department or the Interior, Office of Indian Affairs, Washington, D. C, August 10, 1869. Sir : Referring to my report to you of the 19th of June last, rela- tive to the change of location of the reservation for the Cheyenne- and Arapaho Indians, I now have the honor to submit herewith copies of the following letters relative to this subject, viz : Letter from Superintendent Hoag, dated the 31st ultimo, inclos- ing letter from Brevet Major General Hazen, dated 24th ultimo. Letter from Superintendent Hoag, dated the 4th instant, inclosing letter from General Hazen, dated the 2d instant. It appears from these letters that the Cheyennes and Arapahoes. did not understand the location of the reservation as defined by the tt-eaty of August 19, 1868; that they have never been upon said re- serve, and do not desire to go there, but that they desire to locate- on the North Fork of the Canadian, some 60 miles below Camp Sup-- liO EXECUTIVE ORDEKS RELATING TO INDIAN RESERVATIONS. ply; that the agent for these tribes has a large quantity of valua- able stores in this locality, which are very much exposed. Inasmuch as these Indians express a desire to be located upon a reserve, I think it very desirable that their wishes should be gratified, and that they be not permitted to again roam on the plains. I there- fore respectfully recommend that the President be requested to au- thorize the location of these Indians on the North Fork of the Cana- dian River, where they desire to go, and that immediate steps be taken to provide temporarily for them there. The countiy desired by them is public land, and I think it competent for the President to direct their location thereon. In view, however, of the fact that these Indians have a reservation defined for them by treaty stipulation, legislation can be asked of Congress at the coming session to insure a permanent reservation for them where they may locate and aban- don as a reservation the present one, restoring it to the public lands. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, E. S. Parker, Commissioner. Hon. J. D. Cox, Secretary of the Interior. August 10, 1869. The recommendation of the Indian Commissioner approved. J. D.

Sir : I have received your letters, bearing date respectivelv the 7th, 11th, and 15th instant, in relation to the settlement of the Great and Little Osage Indians upon a tract of land to be assigned them within the Cherokee country, the appraisement of such tract, as the parties in interest are unable to agree upon its value, the removal therefrom of all persons other than the Osages, and the valuation of such valu- able improvements as may have been heretofore made thereon by Cherolvee settlers, in order that they may be fully paid therefor. I concur in your recommendation that there be assigned and set oil' to the Great and Little Osages a tract situate within the Cherokee country described as follows : Beginning at a point where the ninety- Siixth meridian of longitude west from Greenwich intersects the southern boundary of Kansas; thence south along said meridian to the line separating the Cherokee country from the Creek country; thence westward on said line to a point so that a line running from such point parallel to said meridian to the said boundary of Kansas and with said boundary to the place of beginning will inclose an area containing 560,000 acres. * * * Jn vifew of the ascertained in- ability of the Cherokees and Osages to agree upon the value of the 146 EXECUTIVE ORDERS RELATING TO INDIAN RESERVATIONS, tract, you suggest that two or more members of the Board of Indian Commissioners be instructed to visit the Cherokee country, west of said meridian, with a view to determine the real nature and value of the tract and also of the reipainder of the lands situate between it and the one-hundredth meridian of longitude, that being the western limit of that country. Members of the board have already visited and reported upon the tract. It is the duty of the President under existing circumstances to fix its value. 1 shall forthwith present the subject for his considera- tion. When any portion of that countrv shall have been assigned to another tribe its value, in case the parties in interest can not agree, will then be determined by the Prudent. Should it then become expedient in that contingency to direct members of the board to ex- amine the remaining lands to which you refer, the requisite instruc- tions can be issued. I do not deem it, however, necessary to antici- pate that disagreement which under the treaty will authorize the action of the President in the matter. I concur with you that the Cherokees and all other persons who are now living within the limits of the tract assigiled to the Osages should be notified to remove therefrom, and that the value of the improve- ments made by the Cherokee settlers within that tract should be as- certained and paid.

Grover Cleveland. SILETZ RESERVATION. [Originally known as Coast Reservation.] Department of the Interior, Novemier 8, 1855. Sir: I herewith submit for your approval a proposed reservation for Indians on the coast of Oregon Territory, recommended by the Commissioner of Indian Affairs and submitted to the department by the Commissioner of the General Land Office, for the procurement of your order on the subject, in letter of the 10th September last. Before submitting the matter to you I desired to have a more full report of the subject from the Indian Office, and the letter of the 152 EXECUTIVE ORDERS RELATING TO INDIAN RESERVATIONS. head of that bureau of the 29th ultimo (report book 9, page 54),. having been received and considered, I see no objection to the con- ditional reservation asked for, " subject to future, curtailment, if foiind proper," or entire release thereof, should Congress not sanction the object rendering this withdrawal of the land from white settle- ment at this time advisable. A plat marked A, and indicating the boundaries of the reservation, accompanies the papers, and has prepared thereon the necessary order for your signature, should you think fit to sanction the recommen- dation. I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant, R. McClelland, Secretary. The President. . November 9, 1855. The reservation of the land within denoted by blue-shaded lines is hereby made for the purposes indicated in letter of the Commis sioner of the General Land Office of the 10th September last and letter of the Secretary of the Interior of the 8th November, 1855. Frank'n Pierce. Department of the Interior, Washington, D. 6"., December 20,1865. Sir: Pursuant to a recommendation of the Secretary of the In- terior of the 8th of November, 1855, the President of the United States, by an Executive order dated the 9th of that month, set apart conditionally the tract of country on the coast of Oregon, extending from Cape Lookdut on the north to a point below Cape Perpetua on the south, as exhibited in blue on the accompanying map, for an Indian reservation. It is represented by the Oregon delegation in Congress that this reservation is unnecessarily large, and that by reason of it access to the harbor of Aquina Bay by the numerous settlers in the fertile and productive valley of the Willamette is prevented. They ask for a curtailment of this reservation, so as to secure to the inhabitants of the Willamette Valley the much-needed access to the coast, and for this purpose propose that a small and rugged portion of the reserva- tion in the vicinity of Aquina Bay, not occupied or desired by the Indians, shall be released and thrown open to occupation and use by the whites. The Commissioner of Indian Affairs is of the opinion that the interests of the citizens of Oregon will be promoted by the opening of a port of entry at Aquina Bay, and that their interest is para- mount in importance to that of the Indians located in that vicinity. Concurring m the views expressed by the Hon. Messrs. Nesmith, Williams, and Henderson, and the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, I respectfully recommend that an order be made by you releasing from reservation for Indian purposes and restoring to public use the portion of the said reservation bounded on the accompanying map by double red lines, and described in the communication of the Ore- gon delegation as follows, viz : Commencing at a point 2 miles south of the Siletz Agency ; thence west to the Pacific Ocean ; thence south along said ocean to the mouth of the Alsea River; thence up said EXECUTIVE OEDEBS EELATING TO INDIAN BESEBVATIONS. 153 river to the eastern boundary of the reservation ; thence north along said eastern boundary to a point due east of the place of beginning ; thence west to the place of beginning. ' I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant, Jas. Haklan, Secretary. The President. Executive Mansion, Decemhef 21, 1865. The recommendation of the Secretary of the Interior is approved, and the tract of land within described will be released from reserva- tion and thrown open to occupancy and use by the citizens as other pjablic land. Andrew Johnson, President. TMATIILA RESERVATION. Whereas by the act of March 3, 1885 (23 Stat., 340), entitled "An act providing for allotment of lands in severalty to the Indians resid- ing upon the Umatilla Reservation, in the State of Oregon, and granting patents therefor, and for other purposes," it is provided that " before any allotments are made a commission of three disin- terested persons, to be appointed by the President, shall go upon said reservation and ascertain as near as may be the number of Indians who will remain on said reservation and who shall be entitled to take lands in severalty thereon and the amount of land required to make the allotments ; and thereupon said commission shall determine and set apart so much of said reservation as shall be necessary to supply agricultural lands for allotments in severalty, together with sufficient pasture and timber lands for their use, and six hundred and forty acres for an industrial farm and school,' not exceeding one hun- dred and twenty thousand acres in the aggregate for all purposes; and the same shall be in as compact a form as possible. Said commis- sion shall report to the Secretary of the Interior the number and classes of persons entitled to allotments, as near as they may be able to ; the metes and bounds of the tract by them selected for said In- dians, and designate the particular tract selected for an industrial farm and school ; and if the same shall be approved by the Secretary •of the Interior, the said tract shall thereafter constitute the reserva- tion for said Indians, and within which the allotments herein pro- vided for shall be made; " and Whereas in pursuance of this provision of law a commission was appointed by the President on August 13, 1887, which commission proceeded under instructions to the said Umatilla Reservation, se- cured the consent of the Indians to the provisions of the law, took the required census of the Indians, and selected a tract for a diminished reservation containing in the aggregate 119,364 acres, of which, ac- cording to the census of the Indians on the reservation and the pro- visions of the law for making allotments, 74,800 acres were required for allotment to the Indians for agricultural purposes ; and Whereas upon surveying said lands it was found and' reported that the diminished reservation so selected by the commission and re- ported to tlie department contained about 10,000 acres less of agri- 154 EXECUTIVE OEDEKS RELATING TO INDIAN KESERV*ATIONS. cultural lands than was required to make allotments to the Indians as pro\-ided m the law; whereupon it became necessary to appoint a second commission to readjust the boundaries for the diminished reservation, so as to bring within their limits a sufficient quantity of agricultural land to meet the requirements of the law, which s^econd commission, appointed by the President on December 22, 18S7, made its report, describing the metes and bounds of the tract of land se- lected and defined by it, which, upon examination of said report and the map accompanying it, was found to be a tract of land so irregu- lar in its shape and outline as would make it difficult for the Indians living upon it and the white settlers occupying lands adjoining it on the outside to know certainly and exactly the location of the boundaries of the diminished reservation; and in said report it is stated hj the commission that it was not able to include as much timber land as was thought to be necessary within the diminished reservation, without exceeding the limit of its area as fixed by the law, and that while the Indians are some better satisfied with the tract as selected and defined by it for the diminished reservation than they were with the tract selected and defined by the former com- mission, there remained considerable dissatisfaction because certain mountain and timber lands lying in the eastern part of the existing reservation were not included within the boundaries of the tract selected for the diminished reservation; and ^Tiereas in view of the facts as thus shown it was deemed neces- sary by the department to submit the matter to Congress and to request that the act of March 3, 1885, be so amended as to authorize and empower the Secretary of the Interior to select, prescribe, and define a tract of land for the diminished reservation which will con- tain a sufficient quantity of land to meet the needs and desires of the Indians, and be in such regular shape in outline as that its boundaries may be certainly known; and Whereas it is provided in the eighth section of the act of October 17, 1888 (Public, No. 320), amending the act entitled "An act pro- viding for allotment of lands in severalty to the Indians residing upon the Umatilla Reservation in the State of Oregon, and granting patents therefor, and for other purposes, approved March 3, 1885 " (23 Stat., 341), that "the Secretary of the Interior shall set apart such further quantity of land of the existing Umatilla Reservation, m addition to the one hundred and twenty thousand acres thereof required by said act to be selected, designated, and reserved for the uses and purposes of said Indians, as therein provided, as shall enable him to fix, define, and establish the metes and bounds of said reserved tract in a satisfactory manner, and to include therein such portions as he may deem advisable of certain lands in the eastern part of the reservation which the Indians desire shall be reserved for them ; and the said secretary is authorized by order to establish such diminished reservation accordingly ; and in all other respects said act shall con- tinue and remain in force." Now, therefore, it is hereby ordered that so much of the existing Umatilla Indian Reservation in the State of Oregon as lies within the following-described metes and bounds is hereby declared to be, and is, established as the diminished reservation required by the act of March 3, 1885, as amended by the act of October 17, 1888, to be selected and set apart to constitute the reservation for the confed- EXECUTIVE OEDBES EELATING TO INDIAN EESEEVATIONS. 155 erated bands of Cayuse, Walla Walla, and Umatilla Indians for the purptjses specified in the said act of March 3, 1885 : 'Beginning at the quarter-section corner of the west boundary of section 6, township 2 north, range 33 east ; thence south on the town- ship line to the southwest corner of section 31, township 1 north, range 33 east; thence west on the base line to the northwest corner of township 1 south, range 33 east; thence south on the township line to the southwest corner of section 6, township 1 south, range 33 east ; thence east on said section line between sections 6 and 7, 5 and 8, 4 and 9, 3 and 10, 2 and 11, 1 and 12, to the southeast comer of section 1, township 1 south, range 33 east; thence north on the range line to the northeast corner of said township 1 south, range 33 east, on the base line ; thence west on the base line to the southeast comer of township 1 north, range 33 east; thence north on the township line to the southwest corner of section 7, township 1 north, range 3-1 east; thence east on the section lines between sections 7 and 18, >S and 17, 9 and 16, 10 and 15, 11 and 14, 12 and 13, township 1 north, range 34 east, and sections 7 and 18, 8 and 17, 9 and le-, 10 and 15, 11 and 14, township 1 north, range 35 east, to the present east bound- ary of the original Umatilla Eeservation; thence north 20 degrees east along said boundary to the headwaters of the south fork of Wild Horse Creek or the northeast comer of the original Umatilla Reser- vation; thence down the middle of Wild Horse Creek to the point where said creek is intersected by the north line of section 32, town- ship 4 norti, range 35 east; thence west on a line between sections 29 and 32, 30 and 31, of township 4 north, range 35 east, and betweerii sections 25 and 36 of township 4 north, range 34 east, to the north- west corner of section 36, township 4 north, range 34 east; thence south on the west boundary of said section 36 to the southwest corner thereof ; thence west on the township line to the northwest corner of section 2, township 3 north, range 34 east; thence south on the west boundary of said section 2 to the southwest corner thereof; thence west on the section line to the quarter-section* corner between sections 3 and 10 of said township 3 north, range 34 east; thence south through the middle of section 10 to the quarter-section comer on the south boundary thereof; thence west on the line between sections 10 and 15 and 9 and 16 to the northwest comer of section 16; thence south on the section line between sections 16 and 17, 20 and 21, to the quarter-section corner on the line between sections 20 and 21; thence west to the center of section 20 ; thence south to the quarter- section comer on the line between sections 20 and 29 ; thence west on the section line between sections 20 and 29, 19 and 30, to the north- west corner of section 30, in said township 3 north, range 34 east; thence south on the range line to the northwest comer of section 31 of said township ; thence west between sections 25 and 36 of town- ship 3 north, range 33 east, to the northwest corner of section 36: thence south on the section line to the southwest corner of section 36, township 3 north, range 33 east; thence west on the township line to the northwest corner of section 5, township 2 north, range 33 east- thence south between sections 5 and 6 to the quarter-section corner between sections 5 and 6; thence west through the middle of section 6 to the place of beginning. ^^ ^ ^^ „ ^ Wm.

R. B. Hayes. SANTEE (SIOUX) -EESERVATION. Department or the Interior, Office of Indian Affairs, Washington, D. 0., March 19, 1867. As special commissioner I have concluded a preliminary arrange- ment with the Santee Sioux now at the mouth of the Niobrara by which they consent to go into a reservation in the Territory of Dakota, and lying between the Big Sioux on the east and the James Kiver on the west and between the forty-fourth and forty-fifth par- allels of latitude. This reservation is selected with the approbation of the governor of the Territory and the Delegate in Congress, as also the surveyor general of the said Territory. I am informed that there are no white settlements within its limits, and no part of it has yet been surveyed by the United States. I would therefore request that an order be issued by the President to withdraw from market the lands embraced within the limits of the said reservation, so as to keep the whites from attempting any settlement within it. This, I am informed, has been the practice in many similar cases. As it is important that the Indians should be removed as soon as possible, I would request that this order be issued immediately. I am, with great respect, your obedient servant, Lewis V. Bogy, Special Commissioner. The Secretary or the Interior, Washington City. P. S. — I hand you a letter from General Tripp, surveyor general of Dakota, recommending the withdrawal of this land from market. Department of the Interior, March 20, 1867. I respectfuly lay before the President the proposition of Special Commissioner Bogy, as herein contained, and recommend that the lands described be withdrawn from market. O. H. Browning, Secretary. Let the lands be withdrawn as recommended. Andrew Johnson. March 20, 1867. Department of the Interior, Office op Indian Affairs, Washington, D. C, July 6, 1869. Sir: I have the honor to transmit ' herewith a letter from the Commissioner of the General Land Office, dat«d the 2d ultimo, EXECXTTIVB OKDEES BBLATING TO INDIAN EESEKVATIONS. 165 asking information relative to the Santee Sioux Indian Reservation, situated between the Big Sioux and James Rivers, and between the forty-fourth and forty-fifth parallels of north latitude, in Dakota Territory, and suggesting that if those lands are no longer oc- cupied by Indians, necessary steps should be taken to restore them to the public domain. This office has informally obtained from the General Land Office the inclosed copy of a letter and indorsements, by which it appears that Lewis V. Bogy, as a special commissioner, selected the above- described reservation, and that upon tljic recommendation of Hon. O. H. Browning, then Secretary of the Interior, the said lands were withdrawn from market by order of the President, dated March 20, 1867. The Santee Sioux Indians have never occupied this reservation. They have a reservation on the Niobrara River, in Nebraska, where I deem it proper they should remain. It is not practicable for them to be located upon the reserve above described. I therefore respectfully recommend that the order of the President withdrawing the above-described lands from market may be re- scinded. Please return the accompanying papers. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, E. S. Paekee, Commissioner. Hon. J. D. Cox, Secretary of the Interior. Department of the Interioe, July 10, 1869. The proposition of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs is ap- proved, and I respectfully recommend that the lands withheld be restored to market. J. D. Cox, Secretary. ExECUTrvE Mansion, July 13, 1869. I hereby rescind the Executive order of March 20, 1867, referred to, and direct the restoration of the lands withheld to market. U. S. Geant.

Sir: On August 1, 1893, I received, by reference from the General Land Office, a letter dated July 17, 1893, from the register of the local land office at Waterville, Wash., stating that an Indian named Alfred appeared at his office on the date of the said letter v?ith copy of an allotment numbered 20 in the name of Charles Isv^ald, an Indian, for lands near the Methow River in Okanogan County, said State; that Indian Alfred stated that Iswald had gone to the Colville Indian Reservation in Washington, abandoning his wife, and three children, and had not returned, having been absent for the period of six years; that his wiie desired to hold the land embraced within the said allotment, and asked to know if she could do so ; that said Iswald remarried after going to the Colville Reservation. The register adds in his said letter that some action should be taken in the premises to protect the interests of the abandoned wife and her children. In connection with this matter I have the honor to state than on November 25, 1893, I directed Capt. J. W. Bubb, IJ. S. A., acting Indian agent of the Colville Agency, said State, to ascertain whether the said Indian Iswald had removed to his reservation and married a second time, and, if there, whether he intended to remain upon the reservation or return to his allotment referred to and care for his first wife and children. The opinion was expressed in said office letter that it would be well for the agent to correspond with Mrs. Charles Iswald. then in occu- pancy of the said allotment, and ascertain from her all the facts in her possession in relation to the allotment, its abandonment by the allottee, and her desire to remain thereon and cultivate the same for the use and benefit of herself and children. The agent was advised that the allotment referred to contained 640 acres and was made to Charles Iswald under the provisions of the Moses agreement, entered into July 7, 1883, and ratified by act of Congress approved July 4, 1884 (23 Stat., 79 and 80), and that the same, with other allotments surveyed for and made to Sar sarp kjn and other Indians, was approved by the Acting Secretary of the Interior April 12, 1886. It was suggested that if the said Charles Iswald intended to re- main upon the Colville Reservation and make it his home in the future he should relinquish to the United States his allotment under the said agreement, and the agent was instructed, in the event that the said Indian had so determined, to obtain from him his voluntary 188 EXECXTTIVE OKDEBS EELATINQ TO INDIAN BESEEVATIONS. i'elinquishment of his said allotment in order that steps might be taken to allot the lands embraced therein to his wife and children. The agent was further instructed to make a full report of his action m this matter and forward to this office for its consideration the relinquishment of the allotment mentioned, should the Indian execute same. I am now in receipt of a communication dated January 7, 1894, from the said acting Indian agent, stating that he recently visited the vicinity of Lake Chelan, Washington, and made an effort to see Mrs. Charles Iswald, but that for some reason she failed to be at the place appointed for the meeting (Antoine's house) ; that he had pre- viously informed her that he desired to confer with her about her husband's claim to the allotment above referred to : that she sent him word by Antoine, a relative, that she would be glad to have the claim for herself and child (only one child now living) : that she had not lived on the land for some time and that there were no improvements of any kind on the same. The said agent further states that he experienced considerable diffi- culty in finding Charles Iswald under that name; that he claims his correct name is Kis wal a kin ; that at Lake Chelan, among Wapato John's people, Iswald is known by the name of II le ,ncke; that lie judges that name would be the best to give his wife in assigning her the allotment, her church name being Rose Marie; that Charles Iswald, now known as Kis wal a kin, lives at present on the Colville Indian Reservation, near Moses Crossing of the Columbia River, with another woman, by whom he has three children ; that he states that be does not want his allotment on the old Columbia Reservation, above referred to, and has no intention of ever going back there to live with his former wife, for reasons which the Indian deemed satisfac- tory to himself. The agent inclosed the relinquishment of the said Charles Iswald of his allotment No. 20, containing 640 acres, on the Columbia River, in the vicinity of Lake Chelan, State of Washington, granted to him under the provisions of the Moses treaty and act of Congress above referred to, executing same on January 2, 1894, in the presence of John W. Bubb, acting Indian agent of the Colville Agency, and C. R. Bubb, and transferring thereby to the United States all his right, title, and interest in and to the lands embraced therein. There is given on the sheet embracing the relinquishment a certifi- cate executed by Robert Flett, interpreter, dated January 2, 1894. to the effect that he was present and witnessed the signing of the relin- quishment by the said Charles Iswald, and that he clearly explained its nature to him, and is satisfied that he fully-understood the same. The said Moses agreement, entered into July 7, 1883, copy of which may be found by reference to page 70 of the Report of the Commis- sioner of Indian Affairs for the year ending 1883, provided that all Indians belonging to the band of Chief Moses, then living on the Columbia Reservation, in the State of Washington, not removing to the Colville Reservation within two years from the date of said agree- ment should be entitled to 640 acres, or 1 square mile of land, to each head of a family or male adult, in the possession and ownership of which they should be guaranteed and protected. On May 1, 1886, the President issued an Executive order, which may be found on page 75 of Executive Orders relating to Indian Rb- EXBOtTTIVE OEDBBS EELATING TO INDIAN EESEEVATIONS. 189 seryes, issued prior to April 1, 1890 (copy herewith), to the effect that the tracts of land in then Washington Territory (now State) surveyed for and allotted to Sar sarp km and other Indians, in ac- cordance with the provisions of the said act of July 4, 1884 (23 Stats., pp. 79 and 80) , which allotments were approved by the Acting Sec- iretary of the Interior April 12, 1886, be set apart for the exclusive use and occupation of said Indians. The allotment referred to and relinquished by the said Charles Iswald is No. 20, which may also be found on page 79 of said Execu- tive Order pamphlet. The right and title which the said Indian allottee had in the lands described in said allotment No. 20 was that of possession, use, and occupation; and as he has relinquished whatever right and title he had in and to the land referred to, it would seem that the entire title thereto is vested now in the United States ; and as he has abandoned bis first wife and ceased to provide for her comfort and welfare, and as she desires to retain possession of and use and occupy the said allotment, it would seem that the same should be reserved to her and her child for that purpose. As the lands embraced within said allotment are reserved by Executive order of date May 1, 1886, above mentioned, it would appear that proper action in the case would be to present the matter ■ to the President for his approval of the reservation for the purpose indicated. This matter, however, is submitted to you for your determination. I have prepared and inclose herewith a draft of an order reserving the lands referred to for the purpose indicated, which, if you deem Executive action necessary, may be forwarded to the President for his approval. The papers in the case and copy of this report are herewith inclosed. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, D. M. Browning, Cormmssioner. The Seceetaky or the Intekioe.

The President: By Executive order of May 1, 1886, the following lands in the Moses Reservation, Washington Territory, were set apart for the exclusive use and occupation of Charles Iswald, a member of said tribe : " This claim lies about 2 miles in a northeasterly direction from Antoine's claim. It contains no timber, but is mostly fair grazing land, with about 100 acres susceptible of cultivation. No improve- ments. From pine tree on right bank of Columbia River, blazed on four sides, where rocky spur 200 feet high comes down to near bank, forming narrow pass, from which a blazed pine 36 inches in diameter bears north 177 links distant, run south 13 degrees west (variation 22 degrees east). " 102.25 chains, made stone monument for corner on hillside in view of main trail. Thence run south 5f degrees west. " 78.00 chains, made stone monument for corner. Thence 'south J degree west. " 25.65 chains, made stone monument on bank of Columbia River for cori;ier. Thence with said river to a point of beginniiig, contain- ing 640 acres of land." The accompanying letter from the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, dated 25th ultimo, and its inclosures, show that Charles Iswald (Kis wal.a kin) abandoned his wife and child some six years ago and moved to the Colville Reservation, Washington, and is now living there with another woman, by whom he has three children, and that, on January 2, 1894, he relinquished his said allotment to the United States. The wife has made application to the register of the land office at Waterville, Wash., to have the lands in question reserved for her and her child, and the commissioner is of the opinion that the same should be so reserved. I have therefore the honor to recommend that the lands set apart by Executive order of May 1, 1886, for the exclusive use and occu- pation of Charles Iswald, and by him relinquished to the United States, be reserved for the exclusive use and occupation of Mrs. Charles Iswald, or Rose Marie, and her child, and that said au- thority be indorsed hereon. I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant, Hoke Smith, Secretary. [Indorsement.] Executive Mansion, March 9, 1894.

It is believed that the above-mentioned selection, while satisfactory- io the Indians and fulfilling the spirit of the treaty under which it is made, fully secures the interests of the General Government, as well as those of the State of Wisconsin. It is of the greatest importance that a survey of the exterior boundaries of the reservation be made at the earliest practicable period. The boundary marks of the first survey are generally indis- tinct, and, besides, do not conform to the boundaries as now pro- posed. Persons may trespass with little danger of discovery or hindrance now, but'would be prevented if the boundaries of the reservation were- distinctly defined and marked so that the Indians themselves could, understand them.

Department of the Interior, ^ Office of Indian Affairs, Jiim 22, 1866. Sir : Provision is made in the third section of the second article of the treaty of September 30, 1834, with the Chippewa Indians of Lake Superior and the Mississippi for setting apart and withholding from sale a tract of land lying about Lac du Flambeau " equal in extent to three townships, the boundaries of which shall be hereafter agreed upon or fixed by the President." (U. S. Stat., vol. 10, p. 1109.) As the lands adjoining this lake are about to be offered at public sale, it is important that immediate action should be taken in with- drawing from sale lands necessary for this reservation. The follow- ing-described lands were included within a survey made to define the boundaries of this reservation in June, 1863, by A. C. Stuntz, sur- veyor, under the direction of the Superintendent of Indian Affairs, viz: Sections 5 and 6, township 39 north, range 6 east ; Sections 5, 6, 7, 8, 17, 18, 19, 20, 29, 30, 31, and 32, township 40 north, range 6 east ; Sections 5, 6, 7, 8, 17, 18, 19, 20, 29, 30, 31, and 32, township 41 north, range 6 east; 218 EXECUTIVE OKDEKS RELATING TO INDIAN KESEEVATIONS.

As this is a less amount of land than is provided for in the treaty for said reservation, I would respectfully recommend that in addition to the foregoing there be reserved from sale, until such time as the boundaries of the reservation are fully defined, the following- described lands which are contiguous to those included in the survey above stated, viz : Sections 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, and 36, township 40 north, range 5 east.

Sir : My attention has jiist been called to the subject of your com- munication of the 31st of May last, together with the papers iiiclosed therewith, pertaining to the selection of the four sections of land reserved for that subdivision of the La Pointe band, of which Buffalo was chief, under the sixth clause of the second article of the Chippewa treaty of September 30, 1854. . . ^ , • ic This matter formed the subject of a communication from this office to the Secretary of the Interior on the 5th of September, 1855, a ^20 EXECUTIVE OEDEES RELATING TO INDIAN EESEEVATIONS. copy of which is herewith inclosed, in which it was recommended that the necessary means should be taken to cause township 51 north, range 3 west, the northeast quarter of township 51 north, range 4 west, and township 52 north, ranges 3 and 4 west, to be reserved from sale until the selections were made, under the pro- visions of the aforesaid treaty, for the bands of Indians of which Buffalo was then chief. Agreeably to the suggestions of this bureau, your office was di- rected by the Secretary of the Interior some time in the month of September, 1855, to adopt appropriate steps to have said tracts leserved from preemption and sale until the selections for the Indians had been made. I find by an examination of a letter from Col. G..W. Manypenny, dated at La Pointe, Wis., August 24, 1855, that he (by mistake) designated the northeast quarter of township 51 north, of range 4 west, to be withheld from sale, Tv'hefeas it should have been the southeast quarter of the same towhship and range; and T have now to request that you will direct the register and receiver of the proper local land office to withhold' irom preemption or sale sections 25 and 36 in the southeast quarter of the aforesaid township, the same being a portion of the lands selected by the Chief Ge-gi-qui-on, and that said sections should be respected upon the records of their office. In view of these facts, I am of the opinion that no preemption claims presented subsequent to the selection of the land for Indian purposes in 1855 should be admitted to the prejudice of the rights of the Indians under the treaty. The treaty evidently contemplated the selection of the land en or near, the lake shore, and therefore it is not deemed requisite that the location should embrace four full sections, as such a construction, in view of the meanders of the lake, would prevent the location at that point.; and as the legal subdivisions selected by Ge-gi-qui-on are in as compact a form as practicable, although the aggregate exceeds by ,32.61 acres the area of four full sections of 1 square mile each, yet as the selections conform to the requirements of the treaty as nearly as possible, I hereby approve the location of the following tracts, and have to request that the same may be respected upon the books of your office, and that the proper local land office be notified of the same, to wit : In township 51, range 3 west of the fourth meridian — Acres.
