The Bfackfeet Nation.

The following is from an elaborate
article on Life among the Blackfeet,"
published in Forest and Stream, and
from the pen of J.. Willard Schultz, a
constant and interesting contributor to
that journal:
It is not the purpose of this paper to
give a history OF the Blackfeet since the
discovery Of theircountry by the whites.
1t is enough to say that like most all 9TH
er Indians they have bitterly opposed
the march af civilization and have been
defeated, and that the 'tPiegans,o one Of
the tribes of the Blackfeet yet remaining
on United States territory, are in as des-
titute a condition as is possible for a peo-
pie to be-
According to tradition, the first white
men the Blackfeet ever saw We're a de-
tachment Of the Hudson Bay company,
which established q trading post on the
Saskatchewan at the close OF the last
century. In the journal OF Louis and
Clarke's expedition, the narrator men
tons meeting the Blackfeet when the
expedition were on this side of the main
range. Blackfoot tradition, however,
makes no mention of this fact, and the
writer Is lIlCillGu 10 UG1lcNC tudb oOulc
other tribe must have been mistaken for
Blackfeet. Surely such an important
event as the first visits Of white men to
their country would have been included
in their traditions, and in their unwrit-
ten history Mr.. JOS. Kipp has the honor
Of being the first white man they ever
saw south of the Saskatchewan, he hav-
ing come up the Missouri to the mouth
Of the Marias river with an expedition
Of the American fur company's men in
1882.
AT the time the American fur compa-
ny established its post at the mouth of
the Marias, the Blackfeet nation was in
it's prime. At thattinle it is said to have
numbered some $500 lodges, o. $4,000
people. It was the largest and NEST
powerful body of Indians in the north
west. Together with its allies, the Sar-
Gees and eros Ventres, some twenty hos
tile tribes were without difficulty kept
beyond the boundaries of its vast hunt
ing ground.

Coal Mines.

We are informed that several parties
have been prospecting for coal on the
Indian reservation not far from Fort
Benton and we are glad to say Withthe
best of success. Both at the eight and
twenty-four mile c~oulees, the other side
of the Marias, Jake Croft and other par
ties here found two feet of excellent
cropping right out of the ground, with q
prospect Of a much thicker vein as they
pc in on the lead. Down the Missouri,
at the Coal Banks, Dave Ogle has tun-
neled in Is feet, showing up four feet Of
finer and brighter looking coal than
was ever brought to Fort Benton.
With the reservation thrown open this
means a fortune to the lucky Wne
Of these coal lands, and cheap fuel for
Fort Benton as these places, are twenty,
twenty-four and 50 miles from the city
respectively. As the nearest coal is now
t~hirty-five miles away, on Belt creek,
any one can see there would be a
big saving in cost Of transportation.
The freighting is now three-fourths of
the expense of coal delivered here. Coal

The Blackfoot Reservation.

The following is from Secretary Tel
ler's report and shows that he has a cor
rect idea Of the condition of the Indians
in this section:
The number OF Indians on this reser-
walton is about $4,000. Until recently
they have been able to support them
selves largely by hunting, but the dis
appearance Of the buffalo is likely to
cause great suffering among them dur-
ing the coming winter and spring II an
additional appropriation is not made for
them.
Inspector Howard reports from Fort
Belknap, on the 18th OF October, 1888,
that for the first time in the history OF
the agency the buffalo have failed to
visit that region. Heretofore the buffalo
meat and hides secured by the Indians
have been sufficient, with the limited
aid given by the government, to give
them fair support. If the Indians fail
to secure buffalo, as it is now quite GER
tain they will, there is great danger OF
starvation alcIong them. They must
certainly starye unless they live off OF
the stock III the vicinity Of the agency,
but not on the reservation. If the In
dams are driven by hunger to kill cattle
on the ranges belonging to herdefs Wno
are rightfully ia that section OF country,
there will be great danger Of collision
between the herders and the Indians,
and if such collision does not occur there
will be a great loss Of property, for the
Indians will doubtless destroy more than
they use. These Indians have q fine
grazing country and some good agricul-
turaI lands that can be utilized by irri-
CATION A suitable appropriation should
be made for their immediate wants, and
provisions made for stocking the range
with cattle, and they will become self
supporting from the growth of such
herds.

that costs SIG laid down cost 81 at the
bank, the other So being for the haul
ing Every one interested in Fort
Benton's welfare will hail cheaper fuel
with delight. as it means an increased
population and additional prosperity for
u now thriving city. The high price
Of fuel in the past has deferred many,
especially those Of limited means, from
settling here, and we are glad to see
there is a prospect of this objection being
overcome.
