    THE GOLD MINES OF THE GILA—SEMI
i'IVILIZATIO'NI OF THE NABIJOS AND
MAQUIS:
iltc Nest York Commercial
There is every appearance that the spirit of ad
stenture which has been awakened by the discovery
the auriferous region of the Sncramento will soon
(if it has not dune SO already) extend to other parts
of California, A week or two since, in noticing
Mr. Gallatin a memoir on California and particular
ly that portion of it which alluded to the ancient
semi-civilization near the Lanka of the river Gila,
we spoke °Ca large district of country lying North
of that river, which had not been visited since the
tamout extraditions of Coronado and other Spaniards
In the year 1530-40. A short account way given of
it by two Catholic priests, who crossed it in 1768;
hut the route thew took is not accurately known.
With the exception of the latter, nu account basap
peare,l to show that any white man had traversed
thisunknown region, and we h .!nr no more of it midi
oily military exaeditiona tinder Getterat Kearny and
Major Emory, in passikr, down the valley of the
Cola, obtained alight notices of it, obtained ( from
trappers and Indian traders.
Major Emory in his published report says just
enough to excite curiosity Frregard to the district
in question. The attempt of Col. rremont,to reach
it during the late ectere winter, leaving the public
in the dark as to his motive for so doing, has greatly
increased this curiosity—and we now have before
us a work by Mr. Webber, expressly qevoted to the
subject, entitled, "Tho Gold Mines of the Gals,"_
which will no doubt tend still more to open the eyes
- of ihose n hose attention has been directed to the
country in question.
Since the publication of our remarks above refer
red to, a friend has put in oar possession some ac
counts of the Nabijo (sometimes written Navijo,
and the Moqui or Ma is key; tribes of loth:Ans. These
people occupy a district of country we to of Santa
Ise, and all accounts Dhow them to be much more
advanced in civilization and the arts than any In
dians North of Mexico. It is'within their country
that the El Dorado of the Spaniards is supposed to
lie- It was to this region that the ellorta of the
Spaniards were directed, though without success.
The following accounts attracted much attention
when they were published, but there were no means
to verify the statements, and few now remember
that they ever appeared. As they go to corrobor
ate the old Spanish accounts of a semi-civilized peo
ple, and as they also agree n ith the relations given
to Major Emory, we think they may possess BO in
terest for such of our readers as are' turning to the
gold region's of California. We give them precise
ly as they appeared, without comment.
The following appeared in the London Evangel;
iced .11agazine for July; 1823 . ;
"About a year ago a gentleman returned who had
Leen pith the companions of Hugh Glenn,
Cincinnati, on a trading and hunting expedition.—
Aniong tautly intereating accomos of remote Indian
nations, 1 had the n,liowing-re,pectin z the Nahilmee
(tiabijos,) which I am glad to cui‘ey to you in
compliance with your requy. Those I.ingulF
people lice in the midst of the highest ridges of
mountains about six days" journey from Santa Fe,
in a North-Western course. Their country is ‘ery
estensivo and productive, near the sources of sever
al rivers, s hich empty themsc Ices into the Pacific
Ocean:
"Their fields are in the vales, watered by frequent
showers of rain, whir) are very scarce in the nei!rh
burhood of Santa Fe. These inhabitant ` / are such
thorough husbandmen that they 6ultivaTe all kinds
of vegetables, natural to the situation of their coun
try, in the greatest ablindant - e and perfertion 'They
make blankets, flannels, cloths, knit'eaps, stockinoc.
and prepare leather, and all those things so exten
sively that they are able to sell a large quantity to
their Spanish and Indian neighbors. It is said that
their blankets represent Turkey carpets, in daterial
and manufacture. Their dress is different from that
of all other Indians, and from that of_ heir
neighbors also'. Their shirts, coats and wniatcdats
are made of wool, and their swell clothes atidgaiters
arc made of tanned deerskin. They make a hole in
the_middie of their blankets., through n hick they
put their heady. They wears,knittcd caps on their
tio,nls, and have their hair in its full lenglh hanging
down their backs. The men cultit ate the 'planta
tions and attend to their
,cattle; ihe females make
the dresses and are enonged in domestic affairs. —
Their churches are Ulnialoog,‘ ,
their priests of their own nation, and they wi't nut
admit the Spanish priests among them. Their im
plements of war are spears from 16 to tlq inches long,
placed in a club of a foot long.; they have also b:nvs
and arrows, which in their length,. are imini,ilar to
those of the ancient Britons, being twice as lung as
those of the other Indians.—
The foregoing, ‘vac exten.iivel2, 4 ropied by the
Ertiglish journals at the time, and niai,v were fed to
believe that the descend‘ants• of the •Wel,,li Prince
Nadoc and OWen Gwynned and his.colony had been
dinovered.
^4 The folio vipg account appeared in the Auburn
Banner, 1537:
''THY. WHIT?. INDIANS."
411 isa f ac t , perhaps tiol. generally Icnown, l that
there do exist in the far West at least In,/ Ismitil
bands or tribes of nhi t c people. Oncorthc•ehands
is ca ll e d t h e Ma' keys, [Moqui of the Spaniards.)
T he y M ex i c o, on the South nest side of
the Rocky Moinnains. and between three- and five
hundred miles from Santa Fe, toward California, in
A valley which makes n deep notch- in the' moors.
surrounded by high and impassable ridges, and
which can oily be entered by n narrow pass trom
the South west. They are represented by trappers
and hunters of the far We-t. (known to •I he writer
of this to be men of veracity,) to he an innoepiv. in
offensive people -living by agriculture, and ra,-ing
grectiounibers tit hotses and motes, wl“cti
are used by them fur food. They col:liar," maize,
pumpkins and beans in considerable quantities.
"These people are frequently de:trelafed Alton b.y
their more warlike red neighbo's; to which they
submit, without resorting to deadly weapons to re
pel the aggressors.
"Not far distant from the Mate 'ye, IVA in the
sonic range of country, is another hand of the same
desdipfinn, called Naboches.. A description of
either of these tribes n ill serve for: both. They have
been described to the - writer by tno men, in n hose
verncity•the fullest confidence may be placed. They
say the men tire - of the common stow.. nitb light
flaxen hair, light bine eyes. and their skin is of the
most delicate whiteness. One of my informants,
ho saw several allies° people•at Santa I'e. 10 1831,
in de.'cribing the Mawkeys, says, . 4 t bey u re as much
whiter than I as I am whiter than the darkest 'ln
dian in the Creek nation;" and my informant was
of as good a complexion as white men generally
are.
"A trapper, on one occasion, in a %tendering ex
cursion, arrived at a village of Mawkeys. He was
armed with a rifle and a "pair of belt pi, -tots, knife
end tomahawk, all of which were [lithium II to them,
and appeared to exctte their wonder and surprise.
After conlversing some time b i y . signs, he fired one
or the pistols; instantly the whole group around him
fell to the earth, in the utmost coosterualion; they
entreated him nut to hurt them, and showed in va
rious ways that they thought him a supernatural
bving. lie saw vast numbers of horses and mules
about the tillage."
The editor asks, "May not them people be a
remnant of those who inhabited this country prior to
the present race of Indians; the traces of whose
pities, fortifications and cultivated fields and gardens
nre stitl to be seen throughout whole Western coun
try?"
The following account of the Nribijog India qs np•
peered in the Franklin (Mo.) Intelligencer, and
was afterward published in the Veto York °Wryer,
June 26, 1834:-- I •

proverbial among the Spaniards, who have expe

the 7th imft,t;;; our party entered the city , ot lcamiatu
one`of the finest in Mexico, situated in a eventiful
valley, midway between this city and Mexico, and
containing 7000 inhabitants. As our custom is, we
seated into small parties, and entered several eating
houses to obtain our breakfast--the deceased, with
some others. Imiking one party. After eating, a dis•
pine arose between him and the person keeping the
house—the latter alleging !Ia o i l e, m sWing wa s chi c
him, while Dunham avered that Mile cents of it wa s
paid. The Alcalde was then called by the M exican
- t o prevent Dunham leaving.
Upon ithis Mr. Charles Carrell (one of our party)

was called by the Alenlde, then pointed Cueir. guns
at him, our own men urg,inj him at the same Umc
to niter. Carrell then b tg,tn to dismount, and at
the same time took hold of his pistol,. The guard
observing this, instantly struck him with their guns
and felled him to the ground.

Gallant, chivalrous Fiz Henry, what sin against Fe
deralism had poor Mrs. L'arll committed that her head
mast so soon be brought to the block? I Had oho a son
nat i ons the lowa volunteers in Malcico, and thus commit
ted the unpallkonablo sin; or, did he only "interfere In
elections" by voting against Gen. Ta for and Meal Or
had she, unlucky'woman, disregarded that only article
of Mb upon which Gen. Taylor delinately. in the can
vass last NI, ospresael himself—early mumps. But
joking aside, is not thispretty work for
,an ndministra
tion that came into power professing to have no "friends
to reward," and yet decends to the removal of adies
to'reward partizanship.
"No friends to reward nor enemies to rut," and
yet the aged father of ono of the most gallant oflicera who
fought under Gen. 'Taylor at Buena Vista.'and after
wards fell at the head of his men under the walls of Mex
ico. is ono of the first victims of this administration!
Professing to imitate the example of the "earlier Presi 7
dents," one of the first removals in Pennsylvania is that
of the venerable Simon Dram; for more than forty years
Postmaster at Greensburgh, having been liplMinted by
Thomas Jeflorson. Mr. Drain, says the Pennsylvanian,
is tho fatherl of the celebrated Captain Drum who fought
so heroically fießuena Vista under the flag of his coun 7
tev, and afterwards fell in-the valley of Mexico, after hav
ing
recaptured the gnus ho had lost in the,, former en
,
gagements, Gen. Taylor was appealed to to save the sire
of.this gallant hero. Hu was appealed to tobe true to
' his pledges nt least in this case, but all to no purpose.
t The enemies of the war in Which tho chivalric Drum
'breathed his last, succeeded in forcing General Tailor
i mallow the memory of the illustrious dead to be violat . ed
in the perion of the venerated living!

We urn !no mourner over the removals of the present
Administration. So far as our party feelings are con

and we alluded to them only as evidence of Gen. Tay

succeeded to the station hetow occupies. , What those
pledger Were every body' knows, but least 'chigger!,
aihould deny them, we liave thou !lit host to append the

NhTTEII9 PERSO7I to editor •of the Cinyn7reint
evidently - le worried because our frier 1 ‘Vnlitatt is still
Collector, and our former partner, Mr. - Durlin. still *con
tinues to receive the $2 per day as Deputy. tOur neigh
bor should not make himself so unhappy about a matter I
which certainly does not concern him, for he can rest
assured that whoever (hes succeed 'aids° gentlemen, he
will nee be one of them. Gen. TOor stands pledged
to appoint honest and eapold : men bonier. Under such
a rule, to' use a simile of Ills own manufaeture, he stands, I
about as much chaneo as a "stump tilled qua lru ped int
fly Mtie."
"Apropos," us our cotemporary would say, it is
scarcely necessary for us to say that the professed reve
lations in the Commerciat, in regard to a certain business'
arrangement between Mr. Durlin and • ourself last
does not contain a part:cle ortrutli. It is true that Mr.
IVhalion is a Damocrat and voted for Cass and Butler.
but it is not true that ho "contributed libeitally to the col
umns of the Observer." Mr. Mallon has never wrote
a solitary line for this paper since our name has been
,tioiociatod with it as Editor.
.Unlike the Editor of the
Commercial, we du not employ blows to do our writ
ing. Mr. Durlin did not withdraw front the paper for
theM . P - ose stated by the Conirnercial, but because we
P
had a large amount of outstanding debts, accumulated
upon our liboks during a business connection of five soars
and a half, and because, from curtain pecuniaiy -reasons
it became absolutely necessary that they should be col
lected. If we had been the lick spittle of the Commer
cial, and had sought to keep Mr. Durlin in office, does
any one suppose we would have denounced the admin
istration of Gen. Tudor as we have. No paper m the
state has spAo more freely mad severely of the "swin
dle" by which Gon. Taylor became President, than 'the
Observer, and while our name reartimi at is head, it
shall continuo to so speak, if it co=ts the decapitation of
every Democratic office-holder in the state. We contend
for principles first—the spoils at &but a secondary consid
eration: In regard to Mr. Wh.dlon circulating a peti
