In the fall of 1900 it was reported to this Office that some eight or ten families of Mohave-Apache Indians were living at the Camp McDowell Abandoned Military Reservation, Ariz., who would suffer severely from cold and hunger during the winter months unless some aid was given in the way of shelter and food. An Indian inspector who was sent to Camp McDowell to investigate the case reported that some of these Indians had formerly been living along the Verde River Valley-their old home--while others had drifted over from the San Carlos Reservation, 250 miles away; that they were well behaved and industrious, and that they pleaded hard to be given a small tract of land at the abandoned post, on which they could support themselves. The inspector eahestly recommended that such amount of land at Camp McDowell as had not been settled upon by the whites be reserved to these Indians, who would then be able, with some little assistance, to take care of themselves. In Office report of November 21,1901, it was stated that this aban-doned military reservation, which contained in round numbers 25,000 acres, was turned over to the Interior Department by the War De-partment February 14,1891, for disposal under the provisions of the act of Congress of July 5,1884 (23 Stat. L., 103), as amended by the act of August 23,1894 (28 Stat. L., 491), which amendment reserved from public entry and settlement such legal subdivisions as contained Government improvements. It was recommended that the reserved tracts and improvements be withdrawn from entry and set aside for the u s of these worthy and destitute Indiens and that they be given homes there.
