The Mammoth Hot sprlnx,.

A late visit to these celebrated springs
convinced US Of the fact that, although much
has been written and said about the merits Of
the water Us medicinal agent and the beau
ty, grandeur and awfulness Of the scenery
the first had not been exaggel ascd and thai
latter was beyond the ken OF the most i'm.
aginative writer to properly de scribe. The
Mammoth Hot Springs is a mountain Of boil.
ing water. confined by 70 rmation peculiar

thousand places, in some instances ~ NINA.
ture geyscrs, all forming natur al bath tubs
in their meanderings over the incrustation
of the mountain sides, and where the outlet
is not free lakes Of boiling water may be seen
agitated by the ceaseless paintings of the
craters, throwing up fresh water from seett.-
ing and Kissing caldrons. For miles around
what are known as ''The Springs" wonder
full objects meet the eye on every side
1t IS conceded by all who have made the tour
Of the National Park that no collection
Of springs in Wonderland will compare with
the Mammoth. These springs arc located al
most on the line Of the Park. They were
taken up or pre-empted BY Messrs. Horr &
Mccartney several years before the Park was
established. They have been Industrious in
improving the place, and considering their
facilities, have been eminently successful.
They are prepared 20 afford good sccommo-
dations to vlsiters. The he ell, in connection
with the springs, run by Mr.. John Engesser,
an experienced landlord, assisted by his
good wife, presents as good fare as can be
had at any hotel in the Territory. The bath
rooms are fitted up in excellent style, and
are sufficient to acct MN odate almost any
number of visitors. A handsome club
house has been put up this season, with
bar attached, which is stocked with choice
liquors, cigars, etc. A billiard hall will be
added next season. The number OF visitors
to the spring this season has not been as
large as was expected, which may be attri-
butcd to the Indian excitements in this Sec
ton, but all who have made the tour Of the
Park stopped few days at the springs. As
place OF public resort for health and plea
sure the Mammoth Hot SPRING. have more
promising future than any other place in the
country.

CROW AGENCY.
BozxuAS GRANGE. Sept. u. 1874.

BOzEMAN GRANGE, Sept. II, 1874.
Resolued. That we recommend to the Con,,
ty Council the necessity Of selecting two
members OF the Ortlef, whose duty It shall
be to be present at the Crow Indian Agency
and report the amount Of beef, -four and
pork issued to the Indians per month. and
that the Council send report to the Com
20 Our Delegate in congress, Maj. Maginnis.
twill be seen by the above Resolution
that the Patrons of Husbandry propose to
expose the corrupt management of lndiaE
affairs by the present agent at the Grow
Agency. It Is conceded fact that the tribe
Of Crow Indians are worth 4 regiment OF
troops to the Gailatin valley. While they
are on their Reservation no raids are made by
hostile Indians. and the settlers feel safe and
secure. but during their absence the Sioux
and Arrapahoes come up the Yellowstone;
cross through the different passes into the
valley, drive off our stock and murder our
citizens. This summer We have suffered Sc
verely by loss Of horses, and several men
orutally murdered the people are In a con-
tlnual dread Of their homes being destroyed
and their wives and children given up to the
tomahawk and scalping knife. If the Agent
would justly distribute the annuities aud ex-
pend the money appropriated in purchasing
supplies, there would be no trouble to keep
the Indians on their reservation. They CON-
plain. and very justly too, that the small
amount given them is not worth coming for,
and that they will remain In the buffalo coun-
try where they can get provisions for their
women and children. l.. st year the United
States Government appropriated one hundred
an: thirty thousand dollars for the Crows,
AMI we will venture tosay that not fourth
of the amount was expended for their bene-
TT. The contractor drives over band of
cattle, several of the largest and latest are
selected, weighed, and an average Of the en-
tire lot made accordingly. By this means
the contractor gets two pounds for one. The
-four is manipulated in similar manner
Last winter when flour advanced to three
dollars per sack, making i: binding on the
contractor, one Mr.. Crea went before the
Board Of Indian Commissioners and made
affidavit that flour could be purchased for
one dollar per hundred, and the Commits
sioncrs cut the contract down one-third
What object had Mr.. Crca in making this
false statement? and who prompted him to
do it! Evidently it was done in the interest
Of the contractors, and the fact has since
been confirmed by the Agent purchasing
flour from them at FIVE dollars and fifty cents
Der sack when other parties would have sold
il to him at four dollars.
The Helena Herald in late issue comes
out in defense of this rascally Indian business
and takes the COURIER to task tor merely
speaking OF the wrongs endured by our peo-
pie. II this paper would stop abusing Gov
ernor Potts. the only true friend we have,
and expose the corrapt rings that are de-
the Government and stealing the
peoples money, it would be appreciated by
every good citizen in Montana.
