These are not the Rangers returning, but a band of Jicarilla Apaches young braves out on a roving excursion. They have come down the creek, making for the Pecos, and so chanced to stray into the deserted camp. Surprised at the spectacle there presented to their eyes, they are not the less delighted. More than a dozen dead men, with scalps untaken!
The only tribe with which Carlos was not on friendly terms was the Jicarilla, a small and miserable band that lived among the mountains north-east of Santa Fe. They were a branch of the Apaches, but lived apart, and had little in common with the great freebooters of the south the Mezcaleros and Wolf-eaters.
The tribes residing and roaming within the limits of New Mexico are the Navajoes; the Mescalero, Gila, and Jicarilla bands of Apaches; the Muache, Capote, and Weeminuche bands of Utes; and the Pueblos. Navajoes. The Navajoes now number 9,114, an increase of 880 over last year's enumeration.
They have no treaty with the United States; nor do they receive annuities of any kind. Jicarilla Apaches. These Indians, numbering about 850, have for several years been located with the Muache Utes, about 650 in number, at the Cimarron agency, upon what is called "Maxwell's Grant," in North-eastern New Mexico.
Bell had assigned the baggage-mules to the care of five or six of his command, and held a mounted interview with the chief, who was no other than the infamous White Wolf of the Jicarilla Apaches. As Bell approached, White Wolf was standing in front of his Indians, who were on foot, all well armed and in perfect line.
The Cimarron agency, however, has lately been discontinued; and these Apaches will, if it can be effected without actual conflict, be removed to the Mescalero agency at Fort Stanton. Four hundred Jicarilla Apaches are also reported as being at the Tierra Amarilla agency. Muache, Weeminuche, and Capote Utes.
"Are they all Indians?" asked Pen staring round-eyed at the group of workmen. Iron Skull nodded. "Jicarilla and Mohave Apaches. I've fought with the older men. They make good workmen if you understand them. Old Suma-theek over there is one of my best friends." There might have been fifty of the Indians, stalwart fellows, using pick and shovel with a deliberate grace that fascinated Pen.
