Milkwanen. A Luiseno village formerly 

 in the neighborhood of San Luis Rev 

 mission, s. Cal. — Tavlor in Cal. Farmer, 

 May 11, 18H0. 



Milky Wash ruin. A prehistoric pueblo 

 ruin extending | of a mile along the edge 

 of ]\Iilky hollow, about 9 m. e. of the 

 Petrified Forest, Apache co., Ariz. Much 

 of the ruin has disappeared over the bluff. 

 The houses were small and rudely con- 

 structed; the pottery is coarse and undec- 

 orated, and red, gray, and black in color; 

 stone implements show excellent work- 

 manship. A feature of the ruin is its 

 stove-like fire altars. See Hough in Rep. 

 Nat. Mus. 1901, 319-20, 1903.

Milluch. The Chehalis name of a vil- 

 lage on the s. side of Grays harbor,

Milly. The handsome young daughter 

 of Hillis Hadjo (q. v.) , a Seminole chief. 

 When, in Dec. 1817, a party of Seminole 

 captured an American named McKrim- 

 mon and carried him to Mikasuki, Hillis 

 Hadjo, who resided in that town, ordered 

 him to be burnt to death. The stake was 

 set, McKrimmon with his head shaved 

 was bound to it, and wood was piled about 

 him. When the Indians finisheil their 

 dance and were about to kindle the fire, 

 Milly rushed to her father and upon her 

 knees begged that he would spare the 

 prisoner's life; but it was n(.)t until she 

 evinced a determination to perish with 

 him that her plea was granted. McKrim- 

 mon was subsequently sold to the Span- 

 iards and thus obtained his liberty. After 

 Hillis Hadjo's death, Milly, who with her 

 father's family was captured by American 

 troops, received an offer of marriage from 

 McKrimmon, but refused to accept it un- 

 til she was satisfied that the offer was 

 prompted by motives other than his obli- 

 gation to her for saving his life. See 

 McKennev and Hall, Ind. Tribes, iii, 193, 

 1838; Drake, Inds., 403, 1880.

 known as Milpillas Grandes (Span, 'great 



little-cultivated-patches'), the other as 

 Milpillas Chiquitas, ))oth situateil in s. w.

Mimbrefios (Span.: 'people of the wil- 

 lows'). A branch of the Apache wdio 

 took their popular name from the Mim- 

 bres mts., s. w. N. Mex., but who roamed 

 over the country from the e. side of the 

 Rio Grande in N. Mex. to San Francisco 

 r. in Arizona, a favorite haunt being near 

 Lake Guzman, w. of p]l Paso, in Chihua- 

 hua. Between 1854 and 1869 their num- 

 ber was estimated at 400 to 750, under 

 Mangas Coloi-adas (q. v. ). In habits they 

 were similar to the other Apache, gaining 

 a livelihood by raiding settlements in 

 New Mexico, Arizona, and Mexico. They 

 made peace with the Mexicans from time 

 to time and before 1870 were supplied 

 with rations by the military post at Janos, 

 C'hihuahua. They were sometimes called 

 Coppermine Apache on account of their 

 occupancy of the territory in which the 

 Santa Rita mines ins. w. N. Mex. are situ- 

 ated. In 1875 a part of them joined the 

 Mescaleros and a part were under the Hot 

 Springs (Chiricahua) agency, N. Mex. 

 They are now" divided between the Mes- 

 calero res., N. Mex., and Ft Apache 

 agency, Ariz., but their number is not 

 separately reported. (f. w. h. )
