North-western, Western, and Goship Shoshones.-Thesc three bands of Shoshones, numbering togetler about 3000, hare treaties made with the Government in 1863. No reservations were provided to be set apart tor them by the terms of said treaties, the only pro- vision for their bencfit heing tho agreement on the part of the United States to furnish them with articles, to a limited extent and for a linited term, suitable to their wants as hunters or herdsmen. Having no reservations, but little can be done for their advancement. They 1live in North-estern Utalı nnd North castern Nevada, and are gencrally inclincd to be industrious, many of the gaining a livelihood by working for the white scttlers, while others cultivate suali tracts of land on their own account.
The Weber Utes, numbering about 300, lve in the vicinity of Salt Lake City, and subsist by hunting, fishing, and hegging The Timpanagos, uumbering about 500, live south of Salt Lake City, and live by lunting and fisling.
