THE COLORADO RIVER INDIAN RESERVATION.
"When I had had my say I turned my horse's head and rode around the corner of the building, and a few jumps put me behind the mesquite trees which had not been cleared away. The road led down through the heavy mesquite and a dense growth of arrow weed, and there I met the whole fighting force of both the Mohaves and Apaches, all armed with whatever arms they were possessed of.
"I firmly believe that if there had been a shot fired that morning, the Indians would have killed all the white men on the reservation, me among the rest probably.
"The Indians had told Tom Otterman that I would be there early that morning for my gun, which accounted for his promptness in putting it into my hands.
"As I rode away old Qua-shackama followed after me and asked me to stay one more sleep. I was desirous of talking to the Apaches, so I told him that I would go down the river that day and return that evening and talk with the Apaches, warning him that I did not want the soldiers to know anything about it as they might make trouble. The old man said he would have his men on guard in case any soldiers came around.
"I went that day to where my partner Smith was camped on a slough near the river, and that night I went to the place agreed upon in the morning with Qua-shackama. I knew the Apaches were dissatisfied and hungry, but I wanted them to stay where they were, and did all that I could to prevail upon them to stick it out. I suggested finally that part of them stay and work, telling them that they could get suffi-

cient money with what they were receiving from the government to live on, but all my arguments availed not. They said they would rather go to the mountains and be killed than stay there hungry all the time; in the mountains some- times they had plenty to eat, but there they were hungry all the time.
"I told them that I was going to California; that the next year I was going to the mine that I had found on the Ah-ha-seyampa, and de- scribed the place where I should live, and I be- lieve they always kept track of me and my move- ments when I came back the next winter to work the Montgomery mine. They certainly must have kept watch of my movements, for the next winter after I had moved to Peeples' Valley, a bunch of them appeared at the bedroom window where my wife was dressing a baby, and scared her pretty badly, but when they called my name she realized who they were. I was gone that day to Kirkland Valley after our mail. The Indians soon left the place and went to the hills.
"A short time after that I met two of them while on my way to Camp Date Creek-at that time a two company government post-and in- duced them to go to the post with me. They were afraid of the soldiers, but I told them that I would not allow the soldiers to molest them, and would take them home with me the next day, which I did. That was the starter of get- ting all the Yavapais into the Date Creek post, and finally on to the San Carlos Reservation, and was the means of ending the Apache war.
"On the way from Date Creek to my ranch, Tom, one of the Indians, told me why the In- dians were so dissatisfied about the River Reser-

vation. He said that as soon as I left to go after the horses and a new man was put in charge of the work, the new man did not dig the ditch as deep as I was digging it by the length of a shovel handle, about four and a half or five feet, and that some of the white men- Tom Otterman among the rest-said it was no good and that the water would never come down, which was the truth. The ditch was never used and to this day there are marks of the old work- ings to be seen-monuments to graft."
The foregoing shows the difficulties under which Mr. Genung labored in attempting to teach seven hundred or eight hundred Indians how to farm under the general direction of a superintendent inclined to peculation.
When Mr. Genung took charge of the Indians on this reservation, he was successful in gather- ing upon the reservation the Yavapais and the Mohaves, and, had time been given, there is little doubt but what the Wallapais would also have been induced to abandon their nomadic life and make homes upon the reservation, and had the Indian Agent kept the agreements made with the Indians, there is no doubt but what a useless and bloody war would have been avoided. As it was, the old men and women of the Mohaves remained on the reservation, while the young men, the most of them, went on foraging expedi- tions and the Yavapais and Wallapais went upon the warpath, with the result that in the year 1867, and, indeed, up to the time when General Crook took charge of the military in Arizona, some four years later, there was a suc- cession of Indian outrages. It is said that be- tween Williamson Valley and Prescott, in the

year 1868, there were eighteen men killed by the Indians. In the western part of Yavapai County, and the whole of Mohave County, there was a continual robbing of trains, and murder- ing of whites. One can hardly blame the In- dians because they were forced, through starva- tion, to seek food wherever they could find it. There is no evidence that the annuities granted by the government were distributed before this time. Leihy, the former Indian agent, com- plained that there was no money to pay the freight. Whether Dent succeeded in securing these some twenty thousand dollars of supplies for the Indians, together with those granted an- nually during his administration, is a question.
As this history progresses it will be readily seen that much of the trouble with the Indian tribes in Arizona was the result of maladminis- tration on the part of the Indian Agents.
