Designation of cestion on map 



This tract was commonly known as the Dimiuisbeil reserve. The unallotted 

 portion of it was sold, from time to time, witli the trust lands. The 

 remainder was ceded by treaty of Feb. 18, 1867. As a whole the Diminished 

 reserve is shown on the map. 



These lands were commonly known as trust lands and were sold by the U. S. 

 from time to time on sealed bids. A remnant of them remained unsold by 

 the V. S. at the timi^ of the treaty of 1867 and provision was made by that 

 treaty for their linal disposal, but for the purposes of this work the Indian 

 title to the whole tract was extinguished by this treaty of 1859, and it is 

 shown on the map accordingly. 



This reserved tract is here shown as a whole. The tribe subsequently removed 

 to Indian territory upon a new reserve, and their reserve in Kansas was sold 

 under provisions of acts of Congress ajiprovcd May 8, 1872, June lit!, 1874, 

 July 5, 1876, and Mar. 16, 1880. 



These lands were sold, from time to time, under provisions of this treaty and 

 acts of Congress approved May 8, 1872, June 23, 1874, July 5, 1876, and" Mar. 

 16, 1880. The tract is here shown as a whole. 



This reserve was 6 miles square. After being occupied and cultivated for sev- 

 eral years it was abandoned and subseiiuently became a station for the 

 Overland Stage Company. 



Special Agent J. Ross Browne reported, Nov. 4, 1859, that this reserve, so far as 

 the agricultural portion of it was concerned, consisted of a farm which had 

 been rented of j>rivate parties since 1854. It was originally established as a 

 temporary Indian reserve and no official survey was, so far as known, made of 

 its boundaries, although by report of Superintendent Henley, Aug. 15, 1857, it 

 was stated that he had selected it as the last of the five perniaueut reserves 

 authorized by act of Mar. 3, 1853. Its location is laid down (but by what 

 authority is not known) on a map of California in the Indian Office files bear- 

 ing number 186. The location thus indicated is accepted lor want of a more 

 definite one. 



This reserve was 15 miles square .and was at first supposed to be partly in Ari- 

 zona and partly in New Mexico. It was afterward found to be entirely in 

 New Mexico. In 1861 the Texas troops made a raid into New Mexico, in con- 

 sequence of which the U. .S. agent was compelled to abandon the reserve. 

 For several years thereafter the Apache were hostile and the reserve was not 

 again occupied. Aug. 28, 1867, the Commissioner of the General Land Office 

 asked that it be restored to the jiublic domain. 



This reserve was sold by the Delawares to the Missouri River Railroad Com- 

 pany by treaty of July 4, 1866. 



See treaties of .June 19, 1858. By the foregoing resolution the Indians were 

 allowed 30 cents per acre for these lauds. 



The information about this reserve is very indefinite. It was established about 



the same time as the Fresno Kiver reservation. It was a farm belonging to 



private parties. C(mtaiuing about 3.50 acres of arable land, and was situated on 



the right bank of Kings river, 10 miles from the foothills of the S^ierra Nevada.
