INDIANS AND BUFFALO.
General Crooks Opinion of the Situation
on the Border
Omaha Bee, Jan. 29.


Omaha Bee, jan as
Gen. Crook left Omaha yesterday after.
noon for the Indian territory on business
connected with Indian affairs. He was in.
terviewed at the depot by representative
of the Bee, who ELECTED some interesting
information concerning the Indian question
With reference to the transfer of the In.
dian bureau to the war department General
Crook said he felt indifferent; especially
while the matter was being debated in cor.
gress he preferred to express no special
opinion on the question. He thought. how.
ever. that the management of the Indians
would always be difficult problem, and
especially to manage them so as to prevent
corrupt practices by those who have them
in charge. In his opinion it would be diff
6cult to maintain peace on the northern
border and on the upper Missouri and Vel
lowstone.
Sitting Bull could not long remain or
British soil, because the English there have
nothing to supply the Indians with, and the
scarcity OF the buffalo makes it necessary fol
the Indians to follow the buffalo to his accus
toned stamping ground which is on United
States territory. Whenever Sitting Bull
and his Indians come down that far there
will be more or less communication between
them and other Indians, and consequently
there will be more or less trouble.
The fact is continued Gen. Crook, that the
decrease of the buffalo is so rapid that the
Indians will soon have to find some Other
means of subsistence, and this will eventual
" compel them to rely on the government OF
to commit depredations. In his opinion
over 10000 buffaloes have been slaughter
ed every year for the past ten years
and the natural increase il very
much less than THE. The largest portion
of the buffalos killed are cowa, and this ratio
of decrease in the females renders the final
extinction Of the buffalo inevitable. Gen
Crook based his estimate on the large num-
Der of hides sent down the Missouri by ira
ders, an average of 10000 being shipped
down every year. Many buffalos are killed
at a season when the hides are compare
lively worthless, and hence are not ship
ped.
The Indians in making pemmican (driet
meat) accumulate large quantities of mea
pemmican gives out they start out and re
plenish their stores.
General Crook thought it would b. utter
ly impossible to prevent Sitting Bull from
eros ing the border into the United States
as there were five hundred miles of unpro
tected territory. There are troops on tn
Tongue river, on the Yellowstoa and Up
per Missouri, and there is no doubt tha
they can do much towards checking the In
dians from committing any serious depre
dations; ali there will always be in tha
upper country more or len danger unit
