Besides the San Carlos reservation in Arizona, there are two others in New Mexico, upon which are gathered most of the rest of the Apaches, with the exception of about 650 in the Indian Territory.
The Mescalero reservation, midway between the Rio Grande and the Pecos, contains some 570,000 acres, upon which are the Mescaleros and some other smaller bands, to the number of about 1,100. But little has been done in the way of civilizing them, and they depend almost entirely upon the Government for their subsistence.
The Jicarilla reservation, intended for the sub-tribe of that name, is of about the same dimensions as that of the Mescaleros, and lies between the San Juan River and the northern boundary-line of New Mexico. The Jicarillas, who number about 1,000, have not as yet been placed upon this reserve, but roam at will over the surrounding country, spending much of their time with the southern Utes, with whom they have intermarried to a considerable extent. They draw a portion of their subsistence from the Government and depend upon their own resources for the rest.
The Annual Report of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs for 1875 subdivides and enumerates the Apaches as follows:
Apaches proper 463 Aribaipais 389 Coyoteros 1,784 Chiricahuas 475 Essa-queta 180 Gila 800 Jicarilla 950 Mescalero 1,100 Miembre 800 Mohave 588 Mogollon 400 Pinal 435 Tonto 661 Yuma 376 Miembre, Mogollon, and Coyoteros cla.s.sed together 490 ----- Total 9,891
