Can1e)s Once Fre;ghted Into Montana
Indians Thought They Were Mules ade Over by Whites

Did you know that once upon a
time camels were used in Montana for
packing supplies into the gold camps {?
Few people today know that, in the
early CO.'S, herd Of "ships of the
desert" were imported for this kind
of service in southern Montana. The
experiment did not work well, how
ever, and the mule and "jack" soon
reigned supreme again for work over
the mountain divides.
1t happened in the spring and
summer Of 1865, when rich gold dis
coveries on the Little Blackfoot and
its tributaries attracted hordes of
miners and prospectors from Cali
fornia and Oregon, that the trans
portation problem became acute, and
the price of a good mule rose to a
level never reached before or since.
Most of the supplies used in the Mon
tana mining camps were transported
from Walla Walla on pack mules over
the Occur d'Alene by way of Mis-
soula and He'll Gate to the placer
diggings. In the summer of that year,
when thousands of mules were on the
trail, some enterprising freighters ap-
peared suddenly on the same route
with camels heavily loaded with mer-
chandise, received at depots in Nevada
and Idaho. Camels were quite numer-

they threatened the lives of all the
former, supposing they had a medicine
to prevent it, which they would not
give them. But by-and-by Ricarees
and whites died also; the disease in
creased in malignity-hundreds died
daily, and their bodies were thrown
beneath the bluffs, and created an
intolerable stencil, which added to it's
fatally. Men shot each other when
they found they were attacked; one
man killed his wife and children, and
then loaded his gun and placing the
muzzle in his mouth, touched the trig-
ger with his toe and blew out his own
brains. One young chief made his
friends dig a grave for him, and put
ting on his war-robes, he tottered out
to it, singing his death song, and
jumping in, cut his body nearly in two
with knife, and was buried there;
and others committed suicide after
they were attacked, rather than die
of the loathsome disease

GREENE OF BUTTE
MAKES FORTUNE
ADV NOE IN DAVIS DAILY
STOCK WILL FATTEN
HIS BANK ROLL.
Began Buying the Stock Over Year
Ago Under One Dollar: Stock q
Now Selling at $3.50; Is Shrewd
Speculator.

AL Green, the John W. Gates Of
Butte, has just cleaned up another
fortune in the market. The spectacu-
lar rise of Davis Daily during the past
few days is said to have fattened his
already swollen bank roll by some-
thing like 100000.
Green has operated very success
fully in the market for the past ten
years, and is now one of the wealthy
men of Montana. He has been on
the right side of nearly everything
he has undertaken in recent years,
with but one notable exception, the
Butte & Duluth, in which he lost as
much or more than he made in the
Davis DAILY.
Lost in One Venture.
However, syndicate of which
Harry Frank is the head, has taken
over the holdings Of the Butte & Du-
luth, under lease, and if the syndi-
Gates operations are successful,
Green s interest in this property may
appreciate.
Green began buying Davis Daily over
a year ago, when the stock was selling
under ST.. Before it reached $1.5O he
had taken on something like 10000
shares.
Davis DAILY has always been re-
garded as one of the "hoodoo"
stocks by New York and Boston
brokers. Green makes it his business
to keep advised on mining conditions
in the Butte district. He became con-
vinced, over year ago, that in the
great copper boom, Davis DAILY, with
excellent holdings in the heart of the
Butte district, would attract the at
tention of the speculator.
Cleaned Up Fortune.
So he began to load up on the stock.
His persistent buying started others,
and the movement eliminated during
the past few weeks, in sharp advance
in the price, with the result that
Green has cleaned up fortune.
This is only one of many coups
'etat that Green has been the "man
behind" of in recent years.
He cleared at least $15O,OOO in the
quick rise Of Butte & Superior, and
made snug little fortune last spring
out of Butte & London.

pass the winter at Fort Union, but
now he dismissed his men and re-
turned to the mountains alone.
Here Nathaniel J. Wyeth, who de-
voted his life to a vain attempt to
develop the Columbia river salmon
fisheries, committed what the men of
mountain and prairie regarded as a
gross act of treachery. Wyeth stayed
for few days at the fort on his way
back to the states and was entertained
by Mckenzie, who explained to him
the operation of the whiskey still.
When he reached civilization again,
Wyeth reported the existence of the
still, which was used to make whiskey
for trade with the Indians, and Will
liam Clark Of the famous Lewis and
Clark expedition, who was still super
intendent for western tribes, was in
structed to suppress the illicit manu-
facture. The incident came near
wrecking the American Fur company,
which Immediately ordered the still
destroyed. Big influences were
brought to bear and the affair of the
still was allowed to pass unpunished.
Wyeth s Visit Described
By Washington Irving.
Washington Irving, in his "Adven-
lures of Captain Bonneville" thus
describes Wyeth s visit to the fort:
"On the Oath Of August, 1888, the
bull boat emerged, with it's adventur-
ou crew, into the broad bosom Of the
mighty Missouri. Here, about six
miles above the mouth of the Yellow
stone, the voyagers landed at Fort
Union, the distributing post of the
American Fur company in the west
The Glasgow courier., 1916-11-03

Mckenzie at times openly defied
the regulations Of the United States
government that forbade trading with
Indians in their own camps, prescrib-
ing that the deals should be made at
regular posts and agencies. In this
way the government hoped to suppress
the liquor traffic.
Influence Always Greater
Than Government s.
Of this, Charles Larpenteur, who
had charge of Fort Union several
times during the absence of Mckenzie
writes:
"The American Fur company, al.
ways having had more influence in
this country than the Indian depart
ment, thought they would abolish the
local law, and carry on trade on the
old principle, which was camp trad
ing. So when the robe trade COM
menced, traders were dispersed in all
directions"
Mckenzie was king de facto as well
as in reputation. 1t was a veritable
court that he maintained in the will
derness. At one time he ordered q
complete suit of armor from England
He even had medals struck to award

WET MONTANA INDUSTRY
TO STAY WET WHETHER
WE VOTE WET OR DRY.

Whether Montana goes dry or
Montana goes wet will make no
difference to one wet spot in the
state where alcohol is being man
ufactured. That is the plant Of
the Northern Alcohol company
at Billings, which was built here
during the past six months and
is now turning out both grain
and denatured alcohol.
The prohibition bill does not
prohibit the manufacture of
grain or denatured alcohol for
commercial purposes in Mon
tana, so that in any event this
plant will continue in operation.
A large part of the alcohol
manufactured at this distillery
is from sugar beet molasses from
the Billings factory.
The Northern Alcohol former
ly operated at Manchester, near
Great Falls, and is owned by
Great Falls men. The machin-
cry and equipment was moved
to Billings. The alcohol from
this distillery is sold all over the
Rocky mountain region and az
far east as the Twin Cities to
drug stores and other CONNER
cial concerns.
This is the only distillery be-
tween Omaha and Pacific coast.

OLD TELEGRAM FOUND
TELLS OF SLAUGHTER
OF BUFFALO IN 1882

The days Of the slaughter of
practically all Of the remaining
buffalo of the western plains is
recalled by a telegram just
found in a vault of the Fort
Peck Indian agency office at
Poplar.
The message was sent in 1882
by Major Porter, superintendent
Of the agency, to the commits
sioner Of Indian affairs at
Washington. It reads in part:
1.-THE white hunters are killing
thousands of buffalo a day in
this territory, and if the slaugh-
ter is not stopped, they will all
be killed or driven away within
80 days. The Indians are be-
coming restless, and I must do
something at once or there will
be serious trouble"
The Glasgow courier., 1916-11-03

# huge mules that had been mad.
'ver by the white men, their backs b.
ng broken in the middle so the,
would be easier to pack. AS soon
hey had a chance to examine them
however, they saw that they did not
have feet like mules, so that theory
was abandoned. The camels never
ceased to be objects of mirth and also
a good deal of superstitious awe to
the Indians.
The Glasgow courier., 1916-11-03

One of the camels died at the Null
an crossing of Clark's fork, below
Nissoula. Another was shot and killed
ear Blackfoot City by a half-breed
hunter, who thought the animal was
moose. The camels did not take
kindly to the climate of Montana, and
the freight business on Mullan s road
was soon surrendered to the mule and
jack, and the camels returned to Ari-
Zona.

the time, having been imported 70
freighting.
These camels in Montana forme'
another surprise for the Indians, who
had but recently marveled at the ap-
pearance of wagons. Not even did
the coming of the "iron horse" cause
so much speculation.
Some of the Indians offered the
explanation that these were a species

found by Captain Bonneville. This
flask had either been passed from
hand to hand of the tribe, or, perhaps,
had been brought to the fort by the
very savage who slew him.
GAS the bull boat was now nearly
worn out, and altogether unfit for the
broader and more turbulent stream Of
the Missouri, it was give up, and a
canoe of cottonwood, about 80 feet
long, fabricated by the Blackfeet, was
purchased to supply it's place. In this
Wyeth hoisted his sail, and bidding
adieu to the hospitable superintendent
of Fort Union, turned his prov to
the east land set off down the Mis-
souri,"
Mckenzie Successfully
Defies All Rivals.
At Fort Union, Mckenzie, year after
year, defied all rivalry. Company
after company was formed to capture
a share of the rich trade with the In
dians, but one by one they succumbed
to MCKENZIE s diplomacy and superior
energy. Without a charter, with no
governmental grant to shut the door
to competition, the American Fur
company yet maintained it's suprem-
acy in the vast region of the Missouri,
as effectively as the Hudson Bay
company, with the strong arm of the
British empire at it's back, domineered
in western Canada and the Col
umbia river country. The value of
the St. Louis fur trade, most of which
passed through Fort Union after that
post was established, was valued at
100000 to 100000 annually from
1907 to lS47.
