Asm;:nbly convened alnco the organization of the
Territory baa made a reprenltion, accompa
nied by a vigorous appeal for assistance, and the
fact that no iat!fctory rexnonM.- ha been majlc,
may load you to doubt whether anything you
can do will be more effectual, but It should not
dissuade you from liuMuir the attempt. It is '
now clearly and painfully shown that the policy
here Durnued br Um; irovernment from tbe l.Hn-
ing baa produced no rif nlu proportionate to the j
expense incurred; that with all that has been
done the Apache is a bold and atiocwifiil lo-day
as ever before; and that no rapid advance In the
proprHy of the Territory, or slices lu the de
velopment of iU reoourcv can be expected until
now rarasurrs arc adonfd. It Is true, many
Apaches have lxen killed, much hard aervlce

Tbe building of a railroad aoros the Territory
Is one of tbe most Important steps towards the
subjugation or tbe Apache that can be taken and
for this reason and for many others that will oc
cur to you. 1 tjircet that you pray CongTa to
render such assistance lo the company or compa
nies proposing to build such road aa will insure
an early completion or tbe work. ere the Ter
ritory not Infested with hostile Indians tbe diffi
culty and expense of getting here until a railroad
Is providnl mnst make it slow of settlement and
prove a great drawback to Its progress. Under
existing circumstance its construction were
equal to tbe sending here of a dozen regiments
of troops and It essential In order to make the
country available lo tbe public and to seeure lo
tbe Government the revenues which, with proper
aid, it will so abundantly return.
1'artles who since the meeting of tbo last As
serably have surveyed the routes arow the Ter
ritory declare them to be mot practicable and
there Is a growing bcllof both in California and
the East that the popular and profitable Pacific
railroad will go through Arizona.
In this connection 1 may refer to tbe fact that
telegraphic communication l now complete to
Santa Fe, New Mexico, and that by connecting
malls wo receive new from all partaof the world
in ten days. I am Informod that parties stand
ready to extend the wires across Arizona to Cal
ifornia ir reasonable encouragement Is given. If
you can in any wy alt the enterprise 1 am
sure you will do so.

Tho acttvo military movements against tbe
Wallapals brought most or them to terms aome
months since and a number were placed upon a
temporary reservation near Fort Mohave but I
learn they are again upon the war path ronmlng
chiefly upon the Mohave and I'rencott road. They
are a weak tribe and their hostility cannot con
tinue long. When work upon the great Colorado
reservation was suspended, owlnc to the exhaus
tion r the Congressional appropriation, the
Apacbo-Mohave, i avapal and other Indian garn
ered there, took to the mountains, and recent
depredations near La I'az and Wlckenburg are
attributed to them. K they have begun hostili
ties It Is probably In view or tbe recent killing

counteracting.tbe influence of the authorities and
leading the Indians to lose nil conndence in tho
white. While no treatment can in my Judgment
be too severe for tho hostile Indians those, die
posed to be friendly should bo entitled to tho
same protection from the laws as other persons
owing allegiance to the government enjoy. The
rlmns and Maricopa lost a part of their crops
by the unusual flood ol September last, but they
ntc generally prosperous &nd contented, although
but slightly provided for by the government.
All who comprehend the Indian character will
rejoice that tho Indian Commission h,s reached
the view long held on the frontier that tho gov
ernment should ceaso to recognize tho Indian
tribes as a domestic Independent nation except
so far as it may be remilred to recognize them as
uch by existing treaties, and bytrcatles made
but not yet ratllled: that hereafter, oil Indians
should be considered ond held to be individu
ally subject to the laws of the t'nlted Slates ex
cept where and while it is otherwise provided In
such treaties. Such course will be commended
to Congress by the Commission with another
good suggestion; vix: to cloth, protect and
assist all Indians, no matter or what tribe, who
will go upon reservations and stay there.

The Wiokcnbtirg gold mines are worked with

Amendments to the code of the Territory have
been made by each Iegitatare and are now n
numerous and scattered through ao many vol
umes that it Is diSenlt to ascertain what tbe ex

Mere attention should be given lo educational
matters. Tbe brier law or the laid Assembly is
in.Miflkienl tn establish and sustain such a system
or common schools as it now heeded here.
A new and earnest memorial to Congr r
gartling tbe boundary at Arizona City may has-!
ten justice to tbo Territory in this Important
matter.
Some encouragement should be given to the
enterprising citizens who havo established fer
ries on the Gila and Salt Hirers; such forties be
ing an absolute necessity to communication be
tween tbo lower and upper country during sev
eral months In each year and the travel not yet
being sufficient to support them.
A uniform system of weights and measure
should be provided, much confusion arising,
especially in Southern Arizona, from tbe various
standards now- In use.
The act of tho last Assembly to prevent and
punlth the sale of Honor to Indians does not se
cure the ends desired and should be made more
complete and atilngwiL
No aid has ever been given by the govern
ment for the building or roads in the Territory.
Fortunately tbe. thoroughfares are generally
