<br />0166 <br /> <br />ment of the negotiations as follows: <br /> <br />"1. The reservation of the utes referred to in the <br /> <br />act of Congress is unnecessarily large, comprising within <br /> <br />its limits upward of 14 millions of acres of the best <br /> <br />agricultural and mineral lands in Colorado. <br /> <br />"2. The number of Indians occupying the same is <br /> <br />comparatively small, not exceeding, according to the <br /> <br />most reliable data obtainable, more than 4 or 5 thousand <br /> <br />souls. <br /> <br />"3. The people of Colorado are anxious to have that <br /> <br />portion of the reserve not needed for Indian purposes <br /> <br />thrown open to entry and settlement as public lands of <br /> <br />the u. S., in order that the agricultural and mineral <br /> <br />resources thereof may be more thoroughly and rapidly <br /> <br />developed. <br /> <br />"It was with these objects in view, and with the <br /> <br />hope of their early accomplishment, that Congress afforded <br /> <br />the aforementioned legislation; and you are therefore in- <br /> <br />structed, in conducting your negotiations with the utes, <br /> <br />to use your earnest endeavors to induce them to relinquish <br /> <br />to the united states the southern portion of their reservation <br /> <br />as at present constituted, to embrace, if possible, the tract <br /> <br />lying between the south boundary thereof and the 38th degree <br />3 <br />of north latitude." <br /> <br />3. Ibid, 452. <br /> <br />-16- <br />
