[Sidenote: MOJAVES AND YUMAS.]

The _Mojaves_ dwell on the Mojave and Colorado rivers, as far up as Black Canon. The word Mojave 'appears to be formed of two Yuma words--hamook (three), and habi (mountains)--and designates the tribe of Indians which occupies a valley of the Colorado lying between three mountains. The ranges supposed to be referred to are: 1st, ”The Needles,” which terminates the valley upon the south, and is called Asientic-habi, or first range; 2d, the heights that bound the right bank of the Colorado north of the Mojave villages, termed Havic-habi, or second range; and, 3d, the Blue Ridge, extending along the left bank of the river, to which has been given the name of Hamook-habi, or third range.' _Whipple_, in _Pac. R. R. Rept._, vol. iii., p. 30. 'Von 34 36'
