Dear Sir:
Answering your question as to the name of the tribe of Indians which make the specified baskets, would say that they are, Apache, sometimes called Mohave Apache, Tonto-Apache and Yuma-Apache, principally however Mohave-Apache.
Pardon my delay in answering but I was inexpediently called away and unavoidably delayed.
I might say that at present there are very few baskets being made but later there will probably be more.
Yours truly,
