Show Record to the exhibits. The witness: This proposed exhibit 71 contains everything that is in the first exhibit 71 and a couple of extra pro-visions. 4109 Complainant withdraws exhibit 71, and offers in place thereof complainant's substitute exhibit No. 71. Counsel for defendant: I desire the record to show that I have no objection to the withdrawal of original exhibit 71, but I do object to the introduction of substitute exhibit No. 71 as now marked and offered on the ground that it is irrelevant and not within any issue in the case. The Special Master: I will rule on it later. The witness: Exhibit 70 is a black and white map prepared to show what we term the Navajo country in Southern Utah and in Arizona and a part of New Mexico. It is dated 1926. Since the preparation of the map there have been changes in the reservations as to that tract in Utah west of the 110th moridian and south of 4111 the San Juan and Colorado rivers, and are all shown by orders which are part of proposed exhibit No. 71, 1922, when, as a matter of fact, that is not the correct status of the land at the present time. On February 19, 1929, the Assistant Secretary of the Interior approved the Indian Commissioner's recommendation to withhold the 4112 lands in the territory I have just referred to from further dispo-sition. All of the purposes for withdrawing the land are embodied in the letter which appears in exhibit 71, dated January 21, 1929, and signed by Charles H. Burke, Commissioner. 4113 Hugh V. Campbell testified on cross examination as follows: Exhibit 71 contains every order and every proclamation of every kind and character on file relating to the status of the terri-tory described in the original executive order so far as I am aware. 591 1710 |
