west. He therefore set to work at
nee and began panning the gravel as
he had seen it done. After many eff
forts he found some fine particles
that resembled gold, and accumulated
a t%easpoonful, which he took to the
Hudson's Bay post and showed to
to another of the company's posts and
it was pronounced to be gold.
Finlay was out of provisions and
had no furs to trade for necessities,
so Mcdonald gave him a months pro-
visions and such tools as could be
procured; in other words, to use the
western term, he "grub-staked" Fin
lay, who in turn was to share the
fruits of his efforts with Mcdonald.
After washing out two ounces, Finlay
came to the conclusion that he was a
better trader than miner and ceased
his operations.
Strangely enough, Mcdonald "a
quite satisfied to have him do so, as
it was the policy of the Hudson's Bay
company to discourage mining in the
fur country. The company officials
saw clearly enough that news of the
discovery of gold would cause an in
flux of miners, which would grad
ually result in the reclaiming of the
wilderness by civilization and thus
end the fur trading. How truly they
reckoned was shown in 1862, ten
years later, after gold was struck on
Grasshopper creek and a stampede
resulted. Ten years later the Hud-
sons Bay company was out of BUSH
ness in Montana.

and Indian warriors at the apex.
Two rows of boys armed with bows
and arrows were e~ntrenched on the
sides Of the V and they first engaged
the Sioux.
"Heavy casualties were inflicted
by the archers for in an Indians
hand a bow and arrow is a deadly and
effective weapon.
"But on came the Sioux and the
echoes threw back their war cries as
they charged right into the mouth of
the trap. Dozens were killed by the
boys and young men stationed on the
sides of the V but we waited until
we could see the whites of their eyes
before we tore into them.
"The first volley from our rifles
emptied Is saddles. The Sioux wa
vered and then in confusion endea-
vored to retreat before the deadly
fire, bnt not a one escaped. The en-
tire band of 40 was killed and the
bodies were scalped by the Crows,
who sustained slight casualties. None
of my party vas injured.
Years later when a town had
grown over the old battlefield I met
a well dressed Indian maiden, who
resembled Deerfawn, the young
squaw who had saved us from the
Sioux.
For the moment I had forgotten
about the passage of time, for the
resemblance was so startling that
so years slipped from my shoulders
and I hailed her in the Crow tongue.
"She replied, I do not understand
that language 1 apologized and
mumbled something about mistaken

Many a bloody battle was wageG
between warning Indian tribes OF
redskin and white which has never
been recorded in history, according
to John Bolk of Deer Lodge, Mon
tana pioneer who like the famous
John Smith was once saved from
death by the Intervention of a maid
en-. 4.
OF the wars which were waged
prior to the day when the white man
ex~terminated the buffalo and drove
the red man onto reservations little
is known by the modern generation,
according to Mr.. Bolk. But in these
sanguinary conflicts in which quar-
ter was neither asked nor given the
white man learned the tactics which
were applied in the recent war with
Germany.
In 1863 Mr.. Bolk took part in a
bitter conflict in which 40 whites
and 80 Crow Indians exterminated
$50 hostile Sioux.
OF the 40 whites, Mr.. Bolk is the
only one still surviving.
This is the story he told to a
group of friends in the lobby of the
Montana hotel, Anaconda:
with a party of 40 1 left Alder
Gulch in 1863 on a prospecting ex-
pedition. We were headed east. We
were friendly with the Crows and
often traded with them. 1t was this
friendliness which eventually saved
our lives for one day when camped
not far from what is now the site of
the city OF Bozeman, two young Grow
squaws, n of whom was named
Deerfawn, came riding towards us
carrying warning that a band of hos
tile Sioux was approaching.

leaders laid out a battle line. Talk

Finlay, or Benetsee, was an itin'
Grant trader among various Indian
tribes from British Columbia to Cali
fornia. He dealt in trinkets, beads
fancy colored cloths, powder and
lead; also at times whisky and rum
which he exchanged for furs and buff
falo robes. He acquired a consider
able herd of horses in California,
which he brought with him to the
Rocky mountains.
Having thus become somewhat in
dependent, he chose for a home a
pleasant spot in what is today Powell
county on Benetsee creek, afterward
known to fame as Gold Creek. In
this quiet retreat he felt safe from
the raids of the Blackfeet, and from
that base continued his trade to the
Pacific coast. After one of these
trips, in 1852, Finlay came home in
fected with the gold fever, which
had ragged around him in the C%alifor-
mia camps. He was impressed with
the remarkable resemblance of the
country in general surrounding his
ranch to the district in California
where he had seen gold washed, and
particularly impressed by the resem-
blance of the sand and gravel bars of
Gold creek to the streams he had seen

Mcdonald, son of Angus Mcdonald, was born at
J the old Hudsons Bay company post on the Flathead reser-
walton in 1S49, and grew to manhood at RavalE. AT the
age of Is years he entered the service of the Hudsons Bay COM
pany as a trader with the Indians, remaining in that business for
five years. After that he took part in the war declared against
the Blackfeet Indians by the government In 1877 he wrote a
history of the Nez Perces Indians. Previous to that he was en-
gagged by the Northern Pacific railroad as an interpreter, and he
also had a tie contract while the road was under construction.
All through the preliminary days of the survey and the latter
days of the construction of the railroad through western Montana
he was an intimate friend and adviser of the officials of the road
who had charge of the construction. He was of the greatest SER
vice in helping to select the route through the mountains. To
day, at the age of II, he lives at St. Ignatius. No man in Mon
tana knows better the character and traditions of the Indians of
Montana than Mcdonald.
