years an official of the Standard Oil
company. He was graduated from
the School of Mines of Columbia as
an electrical engineer in the class of
1896, and his first interest in the
problem of the American Indian came
in 1897, when he was put in charge
| of the construction of a spur of rail
road which was to connect a mine
near Kingman, Arizona, with the
main line. He used Indians on this
job.
The starting point of his study of
the Indians, which has resulted in
the collection of nearly 100000
relics, was when he watched a Navajo
laborer mending a buckskin shirt by
a campfire. He bought relics from
the Indians, studied their arts,
watched their rain dances and weird
religious rituals, learned their Ian
guage and began to collect garments,
tools, rattles and other demon-scar-
ing instruments. After finishing his
work in Arizona he toured California
collecting Indian relics.
Returning to New York and join
ing a banking firm, he began to
study the New York tribes of Indians.
Later he made trips to various states
and wherever Indians or their re-
mains were to be found, including the
West Indies and Central and South
America. In twenty-six a he had
built up probably the greatest collec-
ton of it's kind ever made.

Recent Discovery Proves Nothing


The discovery IN a cave in the mid
die west reported a few months ago
of bones and antlers with mastodons
carved on them, vas discussed by
Mr.. Heye, but he said that he had not
seen the specimens and could form
no conclusions from them as to the
antiquity of man on this continent.
This find was studied by DR.. w. D.
Matthews, who anne to the conclu-
sion that this evidence of the asso-
citation of American aborigines with
the extinct elephant species did not
prove anything about the ANTIQUITY
of either because the mastOdOn might
have become extinct on this continent
within the last three or four thous-
and years. It might have become ex-
tinct much earlier, but the discovery
did not show definitely in his opin-
ion whether human beings we're on
this continent tens of thousands OF
years ago, or only a few thousand
years ago.
Mr.. Heye said that while he had
gathered many works in walrus
ivory by American Indians and Es-
kimos, there was 10 known Indian
work in elephant ivory, and no ivory
from Asia Eve reached this contin-
ent in the days before Columbus, as
far as has been discovered. This is
another evidence that there was no
late migration from Asia and no late
communication with Asia, because
carving in ivory was one of the ear
Hest expressions of the artistic in
Stinct, and ivory work was well dis
tributed over Asia and Europe long
before the dawn of history.
Mr.. Heye, who made the collec-
ton, was born in New York in 1874,
the son of Gustav Heye, for many

November Is marks the opening
of an institution in New York City,
the Museum of the American Indian,
in which Montana people will be
greatly interested, for it contains the
most complete and largest collection
of all articles pertaining to the life
and culture of the North American
Indian in existence. Many of these
specimens have been collected in
Montana, for George G. Heye, found
er of the museum, who has spent a
vast sum of money in founding and
endowing the institution, has had a
collector in this state for the past
three years who has bought many
extremely valuable Indian relics.
From the Crow reservation was
shipped an Indian tree burial. The
tree was cut down, the Indian body
and all the trappings were placed in
a boxcar and sent to New York. The
tree has been set up again with the
body in it. This particular Indian
was buried in 1886, and the body was
mummified like an Egyptian mummy.
1t is the only tree burial in any mu-
scum in the world.
The relics found in the Museum of
the American Indian number 1,800,-
900 and include everything from the
highest art achieved by the Mayas,
Incas and Aztecs to the stone imple-
ments of the Digger Indians, and ex-
tend geographically from the Arctic

e Quick Fortunes Made by Montana Men.

Here's a poor ~bookkeeper in a Lewistown
garage. A few months ago he was just ekeing
out an existence on a NAL salary. He became
interested, in a shoestring way, in a Cat Creek
oil proposition. Oil was developed and his in
come is now $500 per month.
"Ty" Cobb, Geyser rancher, put $4,000 into
the syndicate which owns the Hogan well lease.
A month ago the biggest producer in the Kelvin
Sunburst structure was drilled in on this land.
Cobb's interest is worth easily 100000.
J. w. Speer of Great Falls put $1,000 into a
northern Montana syndicate a few months ago.
He could get $4,000 for his interest now.

for the crime, that the laws of the
United States recognized the tribal
laws of the Indians, and that the
prisoner could not again be placed in
jeopardy for the crime. The court
sustained the motion, the case was
dismissed and Kuntza discharged.
Chief Arlee made a speech during
the trial, which was interpreted, and
which explains the Indian penalty for
murder and also placed the respon-
sibility on the white man for what
the Indian did when he was drunk.
The old chief, aged, but commanding
of figure, impressed the court and
every one present when he said:
Chief Arlee's Speech
my name is Arlee. / am 70 years
old. The big chief at Washington
put me on the Flathead reservation
and told me to live there. 1 have
been chief for 10 years. We punish
our people for crimes committed on
the reservation by our own laws.
1.-THE Indian has no written law
for the punishment of Indian GRIM
inals; the chiefs keep the laws
through the mouth, they are written
on the heart. When an Indian kills
another Indian, chiefs call all of the
other Indians together and send for
the criminal, then the chiefs talk
among themselves, and If the GRIM
inal has any horses or other property,
the chiefs sitting in council over him
will take all and give it to the rela-
tives of the man he killed, to the
dead mans wife and children, if he
has them. The chief will make a
speech, and tell them not to do that
thing again.
ri know Kuntza. He is a Pend
d'Oreille. Long time ago when he
was a little boy the Pend d'Oreille
and the Blackfeet had a war, and the
Blackfeet killed Kuntza's parents
and took him. After a while we had
a big council and made a treaty, and
Kuntza came back a big boy.
"I know Marengo, the man Kuntza
killed.. He was a half-breed. His
mother was a full-blood. After
Kuntza killed Marengo he came and
himself up. l was In my house.
After we talked, I said: This is our
law, and our peoples law, and we
will punish him ourselves We took
all of Kuntza's horses, and divided
them among Marengo's relatives and
put Kuntza in Jail. That Is the In
dian law and always has been the
law. Then the agent came and took
Kuntza away; we were afraid of the
white people outside. When an In
dian is drunk and kills another In
dian we don't consider he did any
thing bad. The Indian never had
any whisky until the white man
came here, and we blame the white
people who gave him the liquor"
Humorous incidents also took
place in the old courtroom, and on
one occasion the Judge asked the
usual question when pronouncing the
judgment-if the prisoner at the bar
had any reason to show why the
judgment of the court should not be
pronounced against him. The pris-
oner, with unusual volubility, started
to make some statement not exactly
in harmony with the evidence, and
frequently punctuated with the K
preston, "God knows" Judge
Knowles heard him through and then
dryly remarked:
well, God may know what you
say is true, but the court doesn't
think it is. Sheriff, remove the pris-
oner."

ITO my mind one of the very best buys is
stock in the Golden West Oil and Develop
ment Company. 1t is one of the few indie
pendent companies which hold proven acreage
in the rich Cat Creek field. 1t has an 80 acre
lease on which it has one producing well, down
to the second sand. A second well, offset to the
first well, is now being drilled to the second
sand and is down over 1000 feet. The Golden
West should get oil in this well at about 1860
feet.

1t also has deed to one-half the oil rights

down by the Ohio STANDARD Oily. This we'll

oming developed 100000 barrel production in
20 years, Montana in "a months.
1t is stimate that there will be at least 1000
drilling rigs at work in Montana oil fields next
season.
Where it is successful, and here in Montana
it just stinks of success, there is no game as prof
liable as the oil game. Witness the many Mon
tanans who were in modest circumstances a year
or two ago, and are now individuals of wealth.

Fire Insurance company, put some money into
a leasing syndicate a few months ago; oil was
struck on his land and he is on the road to for
tune.
A young Great Falls attorney, who put his
legal services up for stock in a Cat Creek oil
company, could sell his stock now for 100000.
His dividend earnings are in excess of $4,000
a year.
The list is a long one, and We have not the
space to go into details. The point is this: Mon
tana is on the verge of a great oil boom. The
results of the development in various fields have
exceeded the expectations of the NEST sanguine,
and with money just a little easier, the boom
will come and values will soar.

are quite content with prison fare.

Although their funds are sufficient
to supply them daily with an out

} anything but pie. All have developed
strong taste for this form of sweet
meat. and the pie boy never misses
them on his daily round of the tiers
Occasionally" said the warden to-
day. we have a particularly fine roast

and we will send some of the meat up
to them. They could. of course, have
meals sent in from the outside but
they seem satisfied with our regular
rood. That 1 take as a compliment

The quartet are all housed in one
large cell in the hospital wing, be-
cause one of their number is suffer-
ing from an illness which requires
constant medical attention. Therefore
they do not come into daily contact
with the other prisoners-murderer
burglars, petty thieves.

When visitors call, however. the
four must follow prison routine and

center or general entertainment room.
On such days this center is uncom-

The four men of wealth while away
the hours much as they do in their
clubs. They have their pipes, their
newspapers and their cards. But in
stead of looking out on the avenue
through glass crystal clear, they gaze
through bars upon the historic Morris
canal, as from a feudal castle.

advanced food credits. The chief
treasure is a collection of gobelins

reason for the proposal to sell or

a NEEDED ORGANIZATION


HE successful organization of Wild Life
League Of which this paper made mention
last week, is a thing for which the city should
be grateful, and one which will be no small part Of
tho general movement toward putting more punch
into the state game laws and stirring up sentiment
for the protection Of the wild Life OF West vir-
GINA.
The men who have been placed at the head Of
the local league are men well known as sportsmen
and men who.wlil be greatly interested in carrying
out the purposes OF the organization to the letter.
Real sportsmen are vastly interested in the things
under discussion at the meeting the other night
Public opinion will bring about a reform regard
ing game protection more quickly than anything
else. Even in the sportsmen'B clubs of West
Virginia there are members who are inclined to
transgress. Every club probably has its game hog
who treads as near the edge as he dares. When
the Issue is presented, as 1t was in Fatrmont to
the leading sportsmen OF the city. a tendency
should deyelope on the part OF these uen not only
to lay heavy hand Upon the ignorant foreigner
who disobeys the law, but to hand out little
sharp advice to members Of their own clubs who
are in need Of checking up.
The West yirgnian hopes TO see the Wild Life
League of Falrmont- become power along the
line for which 1t is organized as are the local Rotary
and Kwanis along the lines which they are pledged
to follow. The protection Of wild life is solemn
charge and the state needs tmmeasurably, orsani-
cation to look after It.
