The Commissioner of Indian Affairs discusses calculations regarding appropriations and expenditures, the system of education on and off reservations, the perceived importance of industrial and agricultural training, the dissolution of agencies, the creation and effects of various treaties, the successes and shortcomings of the allotment system, and the processes by which land may be inherited, sold, and irrigated. Captain W.A. Mercer provides demographic data about the Uintah Ouray reservation and describes the reservation's schools, rations, wages, and liquor traffic. The Superintendent of the Uintah School describes agricultural conditions, while the Superintendent of the Ouray School provides a report regarding the health and progress of the pupils under his supervision. The Special Agent to the Kaibab Indians also submits a report in which he describes their culture, dress, and subsistence practices.
