Its deposits at that time were about $80,000. On the fifteenth ultimo, by reason of the expiration of its original charter, a new one extending its existence for another twenty years was received from the Comptroller. During the twenty years of its existence its line of deposits, as is shown by its last statement, has grown to over $1,100.000. A most flattering showing, in view of the fact that no interest is paid on deposits. Passing through the panic periods of 1893 and 1907 unscathed, it is pursuing and will continue to pursue its ultra conservative policy that has contributed so much to its prestige.

Apaches in fact referred to themselves with variants of "nde", simply meaning "the people". By 1850, Apache culture was a blend of influences from the peoples of the Great Plains, Great Basin, and the Southwest, particularly the Pueblos, and as time progressed—Spanish, Mexican, and the recently arriving American settler. The Apache Tribes Chiricahua speak an Athabaskan language, relating Geronimo was a member of the Bedonkohe, who them to tribes of western Canada.

VALUES IN TRANSITION: THE CHIRICAHUA APACHE FROM 1886-1914 John W Ragsdale, Jr.* Abstract Law confirms but seldom determines the course of a society. Values and beliefs, instead, are the true polestars, incrementally implemented by the laws, customs, and policies. The Chiricahua Apache, a tribal society of hunters, gatherers, and raiders in the mountains and deserts of the Southwest, were squeezed between the growing populations and economies of the United States and Mexico. Raiding brought response, reprisal, and ultimately confinement at the loathsome San Carlos Reservation. Though most Chiricahua submitted to the beginnings of assimilation, a number of the hardiest and least malleable did not. Periodic breakouts, wild raids through New Mexico and Arizona, and a labyrinthian, nearly impenetrable sanctuary in the Sierra Madre led the United States to an extraordinary and unprincipled overreaction.

    1 GERONIMO GERONIMO: That Name Sparked Terror in the Hearts Of

    GERONIMO GERONIMO: That name sparked terror in the hearts of many people living in the Southwest in the 19 th century. But who was this man? Was he the “murdering savage” as depicted in the newspapers of the day or was he a “freedom fighter” trying to save the last elements of a culture being overwhelmed by another culture? This article does not attempt to answer that question but rather present a brief summary of Geronimo’s life. BACKGROUND: At the time of Geronimo’s birth there were several distinct tribal groups that comprised the Southern Apaches. The principal tribes were the Mimbrenos whose homeland was in the Mimbres Mountains and what is now the Silver City area of New Mexico; the Chichenne or Warm Springs tribe who occupied the area east of the Mimbrenos to the Rio Grand and south to around the Mexican town of Canada Alamosa; the Chokonens or Chiricahua tribe whose homeland included the Dos Cabezas, Chiricahua and Dragoon mountains; the Nednais who lived in the Sierra Madre Mountains of Mexico; and the Bedonkohe whose territory was west of the Mimbrenos and north of the Chikonens. These tribes were on friendly terms with each other and frequently intermarried. Their relations with the northern Apache tribes were frequently hostile. This hostility would later create serious problems when the U.S. Government established a policy to relocate all of the Apache tribes to the San Carlos reservation. This article on Geronimo’s life was derived from several sources, some of which were contradictory. GERONIMO’S EARLY LIFE: Details of Geronimo’s birth are clouded in history and are fairly speculative as to where and when.

It also was a major influence in the development of the state's most populous regions. The largest of these is the Salt River Valley, where irrigated agriculture flourished in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Several million years ago a long arm of the Pacific Ocean extended from the Gulf of California though the present Imperial and Coachella valleys, then northwesterly through the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys . Mountain ranges rose on either side of this great inland sea, and the whole area came up out of the water . Oyster beds in the San Felipe Mountains, on the west side of Imperial Valley are located many hundreds of feet above present sea level. Slowly the land in the central portion settled, and the area south of San Gorgonio Pass sloped gradually down to the Gulf. If it had not been affected by external forces, it would probably have kept its original contours, but it just so happened that on its eastern side there emptied one of the mightiest rivers of the North American continent the Colorado . The river built a delta across the upper part of the Gulf, turning that area into a great salt water lake . It covered almost 2100 square miles.

WORCESTER THE APACHE INDIANS have played a unique role in the history of North America despite the fact that they were always few in number, lived widely scattered in small nomadic groups, and rarely assembled in large numbers for any purpose. The Athapas­ cans were apparently the last major wave into North America before the Eskimos, for most of them are still in northwestern Canada. Small bands of Athapascans, the forerunners of the Apaches and Navajos, arrived in the Southwest perhaps a century or two before the coming of the Spaniards. When Spaniards mov­ ing north from Mexico City reached the region of modem New Mexico, they met Indians whose methods of waging war were un­ like those of the sedentary peoples they had encountered earlier. Spaniards were accustomed to people who lived in villages or cities, who fought as armies, and who yielded when their leaders surren­ dered.

    A Boy Once Named Felix by Karen Weston Gonzales When Different

    A Boy Once Named Felix by Karen Weston Gonzales When different groups of people fail to understand each other, ignorance and intolerance of cultural differences often leads to war. How many times in the past have a few individuals made choices which affect an entire population? Such is the case of an incident that started with a boy disappearing and ended with the demise of a traditional lifestyle for the last free- roaming Native Americans known as the Chiricahua Apaches. In the winter of 1861, at Apache Pass, north of the Chiricahua mountains in Southeast Arizona, a drama unfolded that sparked the Apache Wars of America’s southwest. Though there had been isolated instances of violence between the Apache people and the new Americans arriving to the area, all-out war did not ignite until an unfortunate situation developed between two men who clearly did not understand each other. This historical drama which took place is known by two names. Commonly referred to as “The Bascom Affair,” named after Lt. George N. Bascom, the Apache people call the incident “Cut The Tent” referring to Chiricahua Apache Chief Cochise’s instantaneous reaction to, and escape from, an attempted arrest. Though the facts remain debatable, this we know: in January, 1861, a 12-year-old boy named Felix disappeared from a Santa Cruz area ranch in southern Arizona Territory. The boy’s stepfather, a rancher named John Ward, reported to officers at nearby Fort Buchanan that while he was away from home a band of Apaches ran off his livestock, and abducted the son of Carmen Martinez, his common-law wife.
