was at Camp Breuchaud, on the eve O
our departure for home that Wilde and
! Breuchaud traded their guns to the
Crows for two beautiful ponies. and ap
! propos several little episodes with the
! Indians. Wilde, when he is left to take
care Of the camp, will know in the fu
ture the difference between maple syrup
and Kerosene oil when endeavorlng to
| make mash on a sool looking squaw.
Likewise. Breuchaud will be more cir.
cumspect in making enquiries rs to the
valno of Indian commodities, etc.
From Camp Breuchaud we went to
mouth Of Red Lodge, a tributary OF
Rock creek and here eneamped. This
camp was cl,ristcned Camp Wilde
The next day we made 50 miles. which
brought us to Billings.
Is would not perhaps be uninterest-
ing to say something OF this Rock creek
country. for there is no part Of Montana
that approached it. In appearance tho
soil resembles thhat of Gallatin valley
and for miles, us far as the eve can scan,
it seems as level as Il table. This coun-
try IL indeed the stockman's paradise,
but ~ vet this magnificent ~ well as al
most illimitable domain is only por-
~, IS
seem strange that the government will
permit ut the outside $500 Indians, old
and young, to hold 7 900 900 to 5000, 600
acres of land, the most OF which is sus-
ceptibe Of the highest state of cultlya-
ton, and all unsurpassed as grazing
land. These lands are of no earth y Use
to the Indians, but Of untold wealth to
the white people. Aside from the az
,icultural and grazing lands Oh this res
ervation am told by old miners that
the best prospects they ever saw are on
this hallowed and protected ground.
Miners are ut this time encarnpcd on
the skirts of this reservation waiting
patiently for the same to 10 opened to
the public. The valley is to say the
least rs good as any in Montana. Big
Horn, Little Horn, Pryor, Clarke's
Fork, Rocky, Bennett, Red Lodge, Still
wafer, Rosebud and many others am
not acquainted with are all embraced in
the Crow reservation. and all
whom have seen, VINO have been over
the country, unite in saying it is the
finest and most magnificent country in
the great Northwest The major por-
ton of this country would be contribu-
tary to Billings; in fact ought to and
would be in Yellowstone county.

better than to commence operations this

From the above it appears that there is Il
lair prospect of the negotiations for the
erection of . slsushtcring establishment
here, resulting successfully. The ci1zens Of
Billings agreed substantially to all that tho
Marquis askc and the fact that the Miles
City slaugh;erinS establishment scheme
has been dropye,. for the present, and the
present action of the Marquis, seem to in
dicats pretty strongly the probability
that Billings will he the point selected;
