expressed wrath.
ION the sixth day l called the well
men together and told them that as
there was no certainty that our messen-
gers could get through they were en-
titled to a chance for their lives
believed that most of our enemies had
withdrawn, and as the men were well
armed l doubted if any ordinary BODY
of Indians would dare attack them on
their way to Fort Wallace. AS for
the wounded, we must take our chances
if attacked.
For few moments there was a dead
silence, then rose a hoarse shout:
Never! Never! Wen stand by you,
general, until the end Mccall saying:
We've fought together, and, by heavens,
if need be, we'll die together
THE next two days-the Indians only
keeping vidette in sight, and most
of them having disappeared-seemed to
me to be almost interminable. we
all became weaker for want OF food
On the morning of the ninth
day one of the men lying near me
suddenly sprang up, and shading his
eyes with his hands, shouted: There
are some moving objects on the far
hills
Every man was on his feet in an in
slant, and then some keen-eyed scout
shouted: BY the God above US, it's an

Carpenter with troop of the Tenth

Not long afterward the sub-chiefs of
he warriors who had surrounded and
fought Col Forsyth's band admitted
that the Indians in the fight lost rs
killed and many wounded. There were
1000 warriors in the band that at
tackled Forsyth's force of 81 men--and
in the end the white men won.
It was a great fight and the fact
that the white men won proved a sure
indication of final victory on the from
tier, which came about short time
later. The records of the war Office in

Many Farmers Have Coal
Mines on Their Place
Sufficient for Their Needs

The real homeseeker will quite nat
urally be interested in the mineral
resources of the state he is thinking
of making his future home.
While making no pretense of bein@
a state rich in minerals North Dakota
does have extensive beds Of the fin
est clays to be found anywhere for the
manufacture Of brick, pottery and &C.
ment and what is far more import
ant in prairie country, has practical
ly inexhaustible beds of Ignite of the
best quality.
Ignite is usually defined as min.
eral substance, which, like common
coal, is of vegetable origin, but diff.
fers from it in often showing a dis.
tinct 1brous or woody structure.
Many of the western states have
extensive Ignite fields, but none OF
them are the equal of North Dakota
in the area covered or the quality Of
the Ignite. The whole western half OF
the state is underlaid with these vast

better and more perfect realization of
the splendid possibilities which this
land presents to those engaged in ag'
ricultural pursuits.
Burleigh county Is particularly ad'
apted to diversified farming. Its soil
for the most part is heavy blavck
loan underlaid with clay subsoil. 1t
is true that there is some sandy land,
but this affords the very best land
for grazing purposes. This land is
producing as many dollars per acre in
cattle and horses as the heavy land
which raises wheat, oats, barley, rye
corn and other grains. 1t is this hap
py combination that gives great oppor'
tunity for diversified farming. The
wealthy farmer in this section of the
state is the one who has solved the
question of conditions and has de-
voted his attention to stock raising as
we'll as producing grain. ~
Burleigh county is TO nth most part
gently rolling, we'll watered, with ex-
cellent drainage. 1t is located on the
eastern side of the Missouri river and
Northern Pacific passing through from
east to west and the 500 from the
southern line to the northern bound
airy. Both railroads pass through
Bismarck, the capital of the state
which is the center of trade that
is surprising as we'll as rapidly In
creasing. Few countries are SO favor
ably situated. With a progressive
class of farmers, an excellent and fer
tile soil, splendid markets, opportun-
tiles unexcelled for diversified farm
ing, cheap land, greater prospects for
development, are reasons why Bur
leigh county should commend itself to
the homeseeker, agriculturist, capital
list and stockman. Such conditions
will in the near future be more thor
oughly appreciated and when they are

LOW PRICED LANDS STILL CHAR.
ACTERiSTIC OF BURLEiGH
AND SURROUNDING
COUNTIES.

1t is natural for us TO look to moth
err earth as tn perimary source of our
wealth, sustenance and happiness.
Whatever enriches or improves the
soil must of necessity benefit those
who live thereon. Conversely, what
ever weakens the soil must prove
detrimental to it's owners and their
future prosperity. 1t is therefore ex-
, pedient and wise that we should in
quire intelligently into all practical
and scientific methods that will eth
err aid in the preservation of the pro-
ductive qualities of our SOIL or tnau
will improve, protect and develop It.
In Burleigh county there are thou
sands of acres of fertile land, capable
of producing millions of bushels OF
grains of all kinds. These acres are
waiting patiently for the hand of thu
husbandman to make them blossom
with yellow grain and yield for the in
dustrious cultivator rich reward.
These lands are selling now at far
less than their real value, as time the
revealer of all things, will demon
strate.
While Burleigh county has largely
increased numerically, during the past
five years, still there is room for
many thousands more. There is no
doubt that a far better condition of
things can be brought about, greater
stimulation of local energy inaugur-
ated, new enterprises developed and
more successful encouragement given
to the tillers of the soil, if this coun-
ty should receive an immigration of
ten thousand farmers from the
healthy and vigorous portions of the
United States, especially from those
parts where the people are we'll and
thoroughly drilled in correct methods
of cultivation of all products Of the
farm. An admixture OF their ideas
with those of the present famers Of
Burleigh county would unquestionably
lead to larger yield to the acre. a
greater assortment of products and
generally more beneficial results.
These people would bring new ideas
relative to cultivation, thrift, breed
ing of cattle and infuse new life and
energy, awaken fresh ambitions and a

IN THE NEW COUNTRY.

Tn presenting these pages filled with
information for the prospective set
tier in the newly opened Indian coun
try the Tribune has been at some
pains to show in text and pictures
nroofs of the possibilities of the mag
nifcient territory of which the indian
lands constitute but small section
In this country of boundless opor'
tunity the man who is looking Tor a
farm need not restrict himself to the
government land in the reservation.
In all of that section of North Dakota
living along the Missouri River and on
both sides of that stream there are
thousands of farms to be had-farms
whose fertility has been proved by the
experience of thousands who came
after the eastern part OF the
state had been opened up and who
have thriven as no other people in
the Northwest have: These pioneers
have proved the value of the land and
created a market for the millions OF
acres yet awaiting the attention OF
the agriculturist. An unbroken sue
cession of big crops has made these
farmers independent and the settler
coming in now finds country which
includes all the advantages of the
best settled portions of the United
States, with schools, churches, mark
cts and excellent society. The pio-
neer work that will have to he done
by those who secure claims in the
reservation may be escaped almost
wholly by those who find it more to
their liking to buy outright the lands
that are offered at absurdly low
prices and on easy terms in the rich
country tributary to this center OF
population on the Missouri.
We urge upon those who come to
register the advisability Of inform
ing themselves fully as to the condi-
tons hereabouts, to the end that they
may not be limited in their home"
seeking to the opportunities offered by
the government drawing.

BIDS of Ignite or in other words there
are $4,000 square miles of land II
North Dakota in which Ignite occurs
in quantities sufficient to be OF econ
omic Importance. The Ignite area Of
North Dakota is equal to the entire
area of the state of Indiana and YET
we North Dakotans are inclined tc
think these vast coal deposits Of only
secondary Importance. They are Of
the utmost importance and in the near
future the state is bound to be a
leader in manufactures of various
kinds.
There is a sufficient quantity avail
able and the railroad facilities are
such that every part of the state can
be. readily supplied from the mines
already opened and in operation by
simply increasing the number Of min
ers.
Many farmers have coal mine on
their farms and secure their winters
fuel with much less labor than does
the Indiana farmer in his own wood
lot.
An analysis of sixty samples Of
North Dakota Ignite made in 1902
gave 51.21 per cent Of fixed carbon.
Analysis of forty-one samples of West
Virginia bituminous coal show 67-16
per cent of fixed carbon and for TWEEN.
ty-six samples of dry bituminous coal
from Pennsylvania, 62.S7. From the
standpoint Of fixed carbon alone, the
heating power of one ton of North
Dakota Ignite is worth three-quarters

of a ton of West Virginia or Pennsyl'
vania bituminous coal. The state
geologist states that with respect to
fixed carbon the lignites of North Da'
kota appear to be equal to the coal OF
Iowa, Missouri and Kansas.
In the analysis of the sixty samples
of Ignite cited above, the average
amount of volatile matter, or, in 9TH
er words, gases, was 1858 per cent.
1t is these gases contained in the hg-
mite that produced such wonderful re-
suits in the recent experiments with
the new gas engine. These expert
ments indicate that by the use of the
new gas engine, power can be obtain
ed with North Dakota Ignite at one
half the cost of the present methods.
This will mean much more rapid de-
velopnrent of manufacturing industries
of various kinds all over the state,
and especially in the immediate VI
cinity of the mines.
