Said agent shall have power to cause witnesses to come before him at some point convenient to said reservation, and to administer oaths.

Said agent shall be entitled to a compensation of ten dollars per day and expenses, and may employ a clerk. There is hereby appropriated, out of any moneys in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, the sum of three thousand five hundred dollars, or so much thereof as may be necessary. The Secretary of the Interior shall transmit said report to Congress, with his recommendations thereon.
