I'VE have in mind what our fellow
employees of the Northern Pacific
achieved in connection with the de-
velopment of the Sc Petroleum, the
stockholders of which are made up
very largely of railroad men Of Miles
City," said President Archambault.
THAT company, which started out
modestly, financed by the railroad
workers of the Northern Pacific, has
become one of the strong independ-
ents of the field, having paid back to
its stockholders in the past two years
over 900 per cen in dividends, and
we hope to duplicate their achieve
ment. Our development work is go
ing along nicely and we hope to have
our first well completed about July
4, when our stockholders car come
to Shelby, see the big fight and look
over their property at the same
time"

lions brought him to Miles City soor
after the occupation of the valley by
United States troops in the fall OF
1876, which was ~co-incident with the
arrival of Colonel Miles and the Fifth
Infantry. In 1879 he deemed the
community that had congregated al
Miles City and Fort Keogh worthy OF
a newspaper, and accordingly he
launched the Journal.
In the illustrated and historical
edition of the Yellowstone Journal,
published on September 81, 1900,
then edited and published by Colonel
Sam Gordon, dean of Montana news
paper men at the present time, the
following reference is made which is
significant from a journalistic point
of view.
Wasn't Niles Organ
"Oldtimers maintain" writes Col
onel Gordon, "that the paper was
started as the personal organ of Gen.
Nelson A. Miles, at that time colonel
of the Fifth United States Infantry,
stationed at Fort Keogh, and that the
money that purchased the first equip
ment was furnished by Colonel Miles.
Of the truth of the latter allegation,
the writer is uniformed, but the
files of the paper during the period
when Colonel Miles was here do not
warrant the assertion that it was his
organ in the usually accepted sense.
While the issues of those days made
frequent complimentary mention of
Colonel Miles, it must be remembered
that at that time most of the news
was military, and Miles was doing

RAILROAD EMPLOYEES OF
GREAT NORTHERN DRILL
OIL WELL IN THE NORTH

A number of employees of the Great
Northern railroad are behind the
Kelvin Oil and Gas company, which is
drilling on a block of inside acreage
in the Kevin-Sunburst field. A. T..
Archambault, who has been on the
Great Falls-Sweetgrass run for many
years, is president, and w. S. Her
man, an old-time employee of the traf-
fic department, is secretary and
treasurer. Immediately following
the organization of the company, the
first well was spudded in and a few
days ago was drilling at a depth of
$40 feet.

stones at the top rim with cement
In 1878 the present site of Fort
Keogh vas occupied. 1t is located 9
little more than a mile from the loca-
ton of the original stockade. The
first buildings we're made of logs.
The barracks were occupied by the
troopers and commissary. From the
dwelling located at one corner of the
quadrangle which enclosed the com
modious parade grounds, General
Miles issued his commands and sub
sequently directed all activities from
the headquarters building.
The Importance of the fort was
recognized in the early history of the
development of southeastern Mon
tana. In July, 1888, the year pre-
ceding the meeting of the first annual
convention of the Montana stock
growers, the Miles City Daily Press,
published by Major Thompson P. Nc
Elrath, a newspaper man by here
dity and practice, a son of the Mr..
McElrath who was part owner with
Horace Greeley of the New York
Tribune about the time the civil war
broke out, in a historical reference
to Fort Keogh, published the follow
ing:
after the melancholy massacre of
Clusters command, on the Little Big
Horn, in 1876, it was decided to es-
tablish a strong permanent military
post at the mouth of the Tongue river
where the approaches from Dakota
and Wyoming through the valleys of
the Yellowstone, the Tongue, the
Powder and the Rosebud rivers could
be simultaneously guarded. The Fifth
United States Infantry, under Colonel
N. A. Miles, was left to occupy the
frontier.
Miles City's Start
"In December, 1876, while a large
part of the command was chasing
Bull among the snow-covered
bad lands, the balance built a canton
.nent of log huts on the west branch
the Tongue, near its mouth. The
following year Fort Keogh was built.
The original reservation of the post
extended a couple of miles eastward
and included the present site Of Miles
City. A town was begun on the
banks of the Yellowstone, which, fos-
.ered by the proximity of a Accom-
Dany post, began at once to thrive,
put the reservation was reduced in
April, 1878, and a more advantage
JUS site for a town was selected on
he east bank of the Tongue river

"Seventy-two years before that
late, the Lewis and Clark expedition

aimed in July, 1906, at the mouth
the Tongue river for an hour to
Lllow a herd of buffalo to cross the

white men who are known to have
