Apache, a pah'cha, a warlike tribe of indians inhabiting Arizona, New Mexico and the northern states of Mexico. Ages ago they migrated from the vicinity of the Great Slave Lake in Canada, and are now the veritable Ishmaels of the West. For years they carried on a guerrilla warfare with settlers and troops. Their leader, Geronimo, was captured by General Miles and, with other hostile indians, kept as a prisoner. Civilization is slowly benefiting the Apache on the San Carlos and White Mountain reservations in Arizona. One highly educated indian, Antonio Apache, was one of the officials of the department of anthropology at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, 1893. In 1900 there were about 5000 of the tribe remaining. They are skillful in the manufacture of baskets and pottery.
