By PAUL L. ALLEN Citizen Staff Writer 0 ne years hundred after a and group from twenty-four Tucson shot, stabbed and bludgeoned to death more than 100 Apaches, members of the San Carlos Apache Tribe want a simple marker placed at the site of the Camp Grant Massacre. Most of the victims were woman and children. The slaughter occurred just before dawn on April 30, 1871, near Winkelman, about 70 miles north of Tucson.

It came at the hands of a vigilante group from Tucson a halfdozen Anglos, some four dozen Mexicans and nearly 100 Papago Indians now called Tohono 0'odham. Those who did the killing contended it was in retaliation for stock raids and the killing of four settlers by the Apaches. Survivors and their relatives have insisted it was part of an effort to "exterminate" Apaches as a race. A group of Apache elders last month accompanied tribal historian Dale C. Miles and others to the massacre site, in Pinal County, north of Mammoth and near where Aravaipa Creek flows into the San Pedro River.

Traces of the victims' graves now overgrown with creosote, mesquite and cholla still may be seen. Miles said, "We'd like to see the area marked off as an historic site maybe a site about 200 feet by 200 feet. We've suggested a controlled burn to clear it off. "It would be nice to have a highway marker this side of Camp Grant, to let people know it's here. We'd like for it to be historically recognized." The visit was an emotional one for the elders, some of whom had relatives among those slain.

Jeanette Cassas, head of the elders' group, said, "This is like our Holocaust. We were the first ones to have this happen, the Apaches.
