west He therefore set to work at
once and began panning the gravel as
he had seen it done. After many eff
forts he found some fine particles
that resembIed gold, and accumulated
Hudson's Bay post and showed to
Angus Mcdonald Mcdonald sent it
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
better trader than miner and ceased
his operations.
Strangely enough, Mcdonald was
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 retaining 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.

Leaving my home fronting the
lCoul-hi-Cat, now known as the Mis-
sion mountain range. l camped on
Camas plain. This Coul-hi-Cat is the
westernmost of three great bars OF
| the Rocky mountains and forms the
eastern boundary of the Flathead res
ervation, and in it's sublime grandeur
overlooks one of the most beautiful
valleys of America. The Jesuit mis-
sion, established in 1858, is on one
of it's most western rivulets called
| 'Sin-a-j ail-min,' which means where
they were surrounded and refers to
the surrounding of a band of elk
there by the Indians.
"This mission, the second to be
established by the Catholic priests
within the boundaries of the present
state of Montana, was begun in 1874
by Fathers Peter De Smet and Adrian
Hoecken, and then located on the east
bank of the Pend Oreille river, about
opposite the present town of Cusick,
Washington, but was abandoned be-
cause of the foundations and moved
to it's present site in September, 1854,
by Father Hoecken.
"My home, six miles due north of
it, is called Kootle-tzin-ape, from an
alley formed by two birch and willow
groves on the left of the stream. Here
then was begun by Macarthur and
finished by me the last post establish
ed by the Hudson's Bay company in
the United States. The reservation it
self is divided by the Flathead river
and Flathead lake, as it sweeps down
from British Columbia, and each of
it's many generous little tributaries
have stories enough for hundred
Othellos or Macbeths. The dark
cliffs of the Symbols overlooking the
lake, mount of the Rattlesnake's
Horn, the plains of the Camas and the
peak of the Familiar Spirit once
the Sinai of Montana's red men, but
now named Mount Mcdonald after
me, are few items yet to be de-
scribed long after this generation will
find their Wondering ranches in the

WHEN INDIAN MAIDEN SAVED

OF the wars which were waged
prior to the day when the white man
exterminated 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 l left Alder
Gulch in 1868 on prospecting ex-
petition. 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, one of whom was named
Deerfawn, came riding towards us
carrying warning that band of hos
tile Sioux was approaching.
I'VE joined the Crows and their
leaders laid out battle line. Talk
about your modern strategy! You'll

and Indian warriors at the apex.
Two rows of boys armed with bows
and arrows we're entrenched on the
sides of the V and they first engaged
the Sioux.
Heavy casualties were inflicted
by the archers for in an Indian S
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.

men and women, keeping time to the
wild strains of the San-ka-ha-the

or 600 voices in calm, starry night
on the plains of Montana is a rare
experience, never, perhaps, to be
heard again. The mothers and sis

not stand its thrilling notes, and they
wept loud and deeply for those that
were and were not. In 1850 at a
great gathering of Indians to dance
this staid, insisting strain,I stripped

vermillion my upper body, and
mounted on my black buffalo charg-

cantered round and round with them,
keeping time to the song.
