Show I should mention, before leaving this superintendency, that during the last winter one of the agencies was visited by a delegation from the Moqui village Indians, living in northeast Arieona, who had come, at the peril of their lives, a distance of several hundred miles to obtain food to save their people from star-vation, their crops having failed last year for want of water. Some relief was given them, and they returned rejoicing. An intewsting account of these Mo-qui Indians bas been given in previous reports, and their country abounds in remains of large buildings and populous towns, the relics of old Aztec times. Their oountry appears to he gradually drying up, and becoming unfit for the habitation of man. They number about 2,500, and, as they belong to Arizona, the attention of that superintendency will he called to their condition and wants. COLORADO. Affairs in this superintendency, on the eastern sideof the mountain range which occupies the central ridge of the Territory, have been in a very unsettled condition throughout the year. We are without any annual report from Gov-ernor Evans, ex o f i o superintendent, hut those of Agents Head and Oakes have been received, and from these, and from the correbpondence of the office since the last annual summary, the following state of affairs appears: There are now but two established agencies in Colorado, to wit: Tabequache Utes, at Conejos, in the southwest, Agent Head, numbering about 4,500; Grand River and Uintah hands of Utes, Middle Park agency, having headquarters at present at Denver, and claiming a large district in the northwest, Agent Oakes, numbering 2,500. The agency for the Arapahoes and Cheyennes, established under the treaty of Fort Wise, in the southeast part of the Territory, had under charge about 1,500 Arapahoes and 1,600 f'heyennes, and was knownas the Upper Arkansas agency, having its headquarters at Fort Lynn. The northeastern portion of the Territory was within the limits of the region claimed by the Arapahoes and Cheyennes, who were wnsidered as being, with two hands of Sioux. under char-ee of the Fort Laramie aeencv, now included '> . within the northern supnintet~dency. From Arrnt Ftead'~reloorr inrrard totheTabequachertca, welearnthat those Indians have been very%uiet du>ng the paat making no trouble, except in one instance, where a portion of one of the hands took forcible possession of a few sacks of flour, to save themselves from starving. The agent took im-mediate measures to snoolv their nressine necessities, since whicl occasion tbev ' a , have heen qoier, although there &re reison, for diarosr~ut in the annvoidab~: delay in the delivery of the goods promised them by trenry. l'ttnr trriity yro-vidcs that whenever their rlliefn ball exDrenn n drsire, on Lehnlf of thrir ~ e o ~ > l r , to settle down into cultivation of the siil, certain supplies of stock, &;, siia~l he fnrnished to them. The agent states that such is now the desire of the chiefs, and urges the fulfilment by government of this provision of the treaty. A detailed estimate of the amount required for the purpose will be called for, and transmitted for your information when received. Governor Evans, during the month of August, represented the tribe! as very uneasy at the failure of their goods to anive, and expressed fear that hostilities would break out, hnt there is no mention in their agent's report of any such excitement. However, steps were taken to push forward the goods as rapidly as possible, and advices of their arrival have recently been received. Occasion is elseuphere taken to refer to the subject of transportation across the plains. Delays and failures in the delivery of annuity goods are a fruitful cause of trouble with the Indians, who yield the occupancy of portions of their ranges, on consideration of the re-ceipt of sundry articles necessary to their comfort, and expect to obtain them in dne season in the fall, so that they can leave for their winter hunt.
