It also <br /> <br />secured the privilege of mining on any part of the Indian <br /> <br />land not ceded. "The chief value," says Mr. Nickolay in <br /> <br />his report. "of this provision is, that it will at any <br /> <br />time furnish the government sufficient excuse for, and <br /> <br />basis of, future negotiations with these Indians on the <br />5 <br />subject, should they hereafter be found necessary." <br /> <br />Other articles provide for the right of the united <br /> <br />States government to establish military posts on the unceded <br /> <br />portions of land and also to construct and maintain rail- <br /> <br />roads and other roads through the same. <br /> <br />The Tabeguache band consented that the Mohuache band <br /> <br />of Utahs might also be settled with them upon the lands <br /> <br />and hunting-grounds reserved in the treaty. For a period <br /> <br />of ten years the band was to receive annually $10,000 <br /> <br />worth of goods and $10,000 worth of provisions. For the <br /> <br />purpose of improving their breed of horses, they were to <br /> <br />receive five American stallions the first year after the <br /> <br />ratification of the treaty. <br /> <br />4.
