The tribes residing in the Territory of Arizona are the Pimas and Maricopas, Papagoes, Molaves, Moquis, and Orivas Pucblos, Yumas, Yavapanis, Hualapais, and different bands of the Apaches, All are native to the distriets occupied by them, respectivcly.
Pimas and Merieopas.-Thesc, said to have been in former years Village" orPueblo" Indinns, number 4342, and occupy res- ervation of 64,000 acres, set apart for thenm under the Act of Fcb- ruary 28th, 1859, and located in the central part of the Territory, on tlie Gila River. They are, and always have bcen, peaceful and loyal to tle Governnient; are considerably advanced, according to n rude forn of civilization, and being industrious, and engaged quite successtully, whenever the conditions of soil and climate are farorable, in farming operations, are nearly self- sustaiming.

These triles have no treaty with the United States, and receive but little assistance from the Govermnent. Papugoes. These Indians, mumbering about 5000, are of the saine class, in some respects, as the Pucblos in New Mexico, living in villages, cultivuting the soil, and raising stock for a support. They have no reservation sct apart for their occupancy, but in hbit te south-eastern part of the Territory. Many of them havo embraced Christianity; and tlhey are generally well-behaved, quict, and peaceable. They manifest a strong desire to have their chil dren edueated; and steps to this end liave been taken by the Department. These Indians bave no treaty relations with the
