'Tonio had told it not even to Harris. "The mountain eagle is 'Tonio's friend; the bear, the lynx, the birds are his brothers." "Then you knew the Apache Mohaves were in the Verde Valley and in Dead Man's Cañon as late as last week that they had raided Stoner's Ranch?" "They were not there, nor did they raid Stoner's Ranch! My people stayed not even on the East Fork.
Incidentally, they were met by Ira Hatch and Dudley Leavitt, on their return from a mission to the Mohave Indians. The Mohaves, careless of the Gospel privileges afforded, held a council over the Mormon missionaries and decided that they should die. Hatch thereupon knelt down among the savages and "asked the Lord to soften their hearts, that they might not shed further blood."
Being in the pay and under the protection of the United States, 'Tonio could be called on for explanation at any time, only there were two ways of calling. "Tell him," said Willett, "the chief-of-chiefs believes the Apache Mohaves are hiding in the Mogollon, many of them bucks, squaws and children, and he was sent to find them and to bring them to the reservation. Why did he fail?"
"I only give him five dollars a month, even now, and he could get twenty, and unlimited monte, at the store; besides, he is mortal 'fraid of these 'Patchie Mohaves; hell knows why, and hides when he sees 'em coming."
Leaving the Mohaves he crossed the desert to the Californian coast, where he afterwards had trouble with the authorities, who seemed to bear a grudge against all American trappers, and who seized every opportunity to maltreat and rob them. This, however, did not prevent Smith from returning again after a visit to the northern rendezvous.
Hastily Archer opened the paper, glanced it over in the moonlight, looked up, and nodded to Stannard. "Willett says from round the point they can see two more signal fires toward the north-east, just the way to the Apache Mohaves!" Then came a dramatic incident.
Arriving among the Mohaves, they obtained food from them, and proceeded across to San Gabriel Mission, to which place after trapping up the Sacramento Valley, they again returned, in season to assist the Spaniards to reduce the natives around the settlement to submission. This was accomplished by the simple method of killing one-third of them. * Life of Kit Carson, by Charles Burdett.
The Uintah Utes have no treaty with the United States; but an appropriation averaging about $10,000 has been annually made for their civilization and improvement since 1863. The tribes residing in the Territory of Arizona are the Pimas and Maricopas, Papagoes, Mohaves, Moquis, and Orivas Pueblos, Yumas, Yavapais, Hualapais, and different bands of the Apaches.
An hour later that evening, with a pack mule, blankets, old newspapers and a brace of cracker boxes, two half-tamed Mohaves were heading for the heights to the north-east, where water would freeze in the canteens these December nights, and the rock tanks were nearly solid ice.
Brother Andrew Gibbons is worthy of honorable mention, because of the good influence that he maintains over these rude men." In November, 1870, the Indians were reported "very hostile and saucy." The Chemehuevis and Mohaves were at war. A band of the former, about 100 or more, came into the Muddy Valley. In December a band of Wallapai came for a friendly visit.
