YELLOWSTONE PARK I'M HISTORY; FIRST
MEN VISITED WONDERLAND 0M 1888

Toying the fun. Such was really
the fact, as they informed us later"
The next morning the party was
surrounded by the Indians, Mrs.
Cowan and her young sister were
taken prisoners, and some of the
men were shot, MI. Cowan, it was
believed, fatally. Later the Ind
ians freed Mrs. Cowan and her sis
ter, gave them some old horses to
ride. and after being importuned
by Mrs. Cowan, permitted Mr.. Car
penter to go with them, but on
foot. They were told to "Ride all
day, all night, all day, no Sleep"
and they would reach Bozeman the
second day. The soldiers who were
pursuing the Indians rescued Mr..
Cowan and he eventually recovered
from his wounds.
The Helena party consisted of
four young men, Joseph Roberts, a
relative of Governor Toole; Prof.
R. Dietrich, Andrew Weikert and
Fred. Pfister; and a negro cook,
Ben Stone. They we're attacked by
the Indians and Professor Dietrich
was killed.
After the government set aside
the upper Yellowstone as a nation
al park soldiers were stationed
there to protect not along the tour
lists, but to protect the park and its
natural inmates and curiosities.
Tourists are proverbially vandals,
and left to themselves and their ac-
unrestricted, the wonderful
formations around the geysers
would have been carried away
.iecemeal, and there would have
been no mild tempered bears left

GETS 35 PRODUCING WELLS AND
272,173 BARRELS OF
CRUDE
With Adequate Storage Facilities
Production Would Have Been Much
Larger; Wells Pumped Only Part
of Time.

Ohio Oil company has drilled a
total of 81 wells in Kevin-Sunburst
field, getting 35 producers and two
dry holes. The Ohio has developed a
production of 272,173 barrels, with
only part-time pumping, in the short
life of the new northern field. These
facts are disclosed in figures pre-
pared by the Northern Oil Informa-
ton Bureau of Shelby.
The Ohio has drilled more wells
than any other company in the field.
having been the first entrant after
the completion of the Sunburst dis
covery we'll in June, 1922. The Ohio
purchased from the Sunburst inter
ests from time to time, a total of
$500 acres which it is operating I'M
der a joint agreement, whereby the
two companies share equally the cost
of development and the gross produc-
ton of oil. The Sunburst interests
have a share, either by working
agreement or royalty, in practically
all of the Ohio production.
1t is believed that with adequate
storage facilities, the Ohio %produc-
ton would have been much greater.
The field has been handicapped by
lack of storage from the first, and has
run practically no oil since October,
1928.
1t is an interesting fact that the
two most intensely developed leases
in the field are the Ohio-Potlatch
Baker farm and the Ohio-Sunburst
Davey farm. There are eight wells
each, and these are the only leases
in the field that have more than five
wells in production. On the Howling
there are nine wells, drilled by
three operators, five by the Mid
Northern, three by the Homestake
and one by the Carter.
Following is the record Of Ohio
operations in Kevin-Sunburst field:

corded; but later others did, and
a few persons were found willing
to credit these stories of the land
of mystery, and who felt impelled
to explore it. There was too much
similar testimony given regarding
it for it to be entirely discredited.
Two of these men were David
Folsom and c. w. Cook, who en-
tered the park in September, 1868.
On their return home they did not
enter into any extended account of
their adventure for the very rea-
son the trappers learned to keep
quiet on this subject = what they
could tell would simply be laughed
at or thought to be lies. Their
suppositious hearers having never
seen geysers, there were none. Such
logic is, and always has been in
controvertible.
Between the years of 1878 the
artist, Thomas Moran, visited the
park, and his painting made then
was purchased by congress, and
hung in the capitol at Washington.
This picture met with severe
criticism. Everyone thought it
too highly colored until they COM
it with the original, the can
yon walls gay with bright red, yell
low, and intermediate hues, and far
more brilliant than represented by
the artist.
A party from Helena went into
the park in 1870, among them be-
ing Henry D. Washburn, surveyor
general of Montana, for whom
Washburn was named; S..
T. Hauser, N. P. Langford, and
others. A few cavalry men accom-
panied them. These latter might
nave been needed, as they passed
through the Crow Indian country.

where a shipment of four hens and
a cock bird of the Rhode Island
White strain, sent by l.. A. Holt of
Stevensville, has been received. The

Australia is attracting much atten-

the rest returned home without
meeting with any serious mishaps.
One of their number, Judge Corne-
Illus Hedges, was one of the first,
if not the first, to suggest that the
region now known as Wonderland
should become a national park.
Mr.. Everts' tragic experience, an
account of which written by him
was published in Scribner's Maya
izne of November, 1871, advertised
the Upper Yellowstone country,
and it began to be more generally
visited, although it still remained
a wilderness. There were no ho-
tells at convenient intervals for the
accommodation of tourists. nor
houses of any description. Those
who undertook the journey pro-
vided their own conveyances and
camping outfit. They al the risk
of being attacked by wild animals
and equally wild Indians; for the
Crows lived near and were begin
ming to lose their fear of geyser-
Then, in 1877, Chief Joseph and
his Nez Perces were on the war
path, and headed east. In August
of that year they entered western
but were put to flight but
not captured by General Gibbon at
the Battle of the Big Hole.
That same month, General Sher-
man was in the park, and also a
small company from Radersburg
and one from Helena. The Gen
eral left the park the day Chief
Joseph and his band entered it.
The other parties remained a fewl
days longer, with serious conse-
1uences. One of the Radersburg
party, Mrs. G. F. Cowan, has given
1 vivid sketch of what they were
,alled upon to undergo, and An
1rew ]. Weikert has told the story
IF the Helena party, and both are
included in the Montana Historical
Records.
When those from Radersburg
entered the park they did not know
of the Nez Perces outbreak, and
only learned of it from the scout
IF the Sherman party, who assured
hem they were in no danger as the
Indians would avoid that region
I observed, however," dryly re-
marks Mrs. Cowan, chat his party
preferred being elsewhere, as they

The Cowans could not help be-

IL J(O I
II, creasing numbers, tourists
- throng into the Yellowstone
National park, which adjoins Mon
tana on the south. Most of them
come in their own cars, or are
whirled over the regulation routes
in the regulation time, in the COM
pany's conveyances. They catch
a glimpse of the Mammoth Hot
Springs; are told THAT mountain
opposite is Mount Everts"; pass
Obsidian Cliff; have a chance to
admire the Paint Pots are reason
ably sure to witness the playing of
Old Faithful; swing around by the
lake and the Mud Geyser; and ex-
perience the thrill occasioned by
the first sight of the Falls of the
Yellowstone, and the canyon be-
low it.
These casual visitors find this
interesting, as they also do the neat
little folder furnished them, with
its information regarding the park,
and its poem by DR.. William Todd
Helmuth. But even with all they
have seen, and all they have read
concerning it, but few leave there
with much knowledge of the his
tory of the park.
A little over a half century ago,
what is now the Yellowstone park
was an unknown country to the
world at large; avoided by the In
dams, who regarded it with super
stitious awe, and only visited by a
few trappers who, with a desire to
preserve their reputation for truth
fulness, refrained from telling
what they had cen there.
An instance when one of them
departed from this rule, was mar
rated to me by Col. Wilbur F. San
ders. Shortly after the latter ar
rived at Bannack, in 1868, he heard
a French trapper give a glowing
account of a wonderful region,
which he said lay southeast of
Bannack. He gave a graphic des-
cription of the geysers, and he may
have mentioned the Yellowstone
canyon. His e%loquence, however,
was thrown away on his unsym-
pathetic auditors, who received his
story with contemptuous laughter,
believing as they did that the mar
velous tale was the product of a
Gallo imagination stimulated by
whisky.
One mar who knew of the gey-
sers in 1910 and visited them in
1874 was James Bridger, and he,
like the Frenchman, was thought
to be lying when he told of what
he had seen. 1t is said that the
skepticism with which his earlier
stories met, led the noted scout to
indulge later in some gross exag-
geration, to state it mildly.
Captain Bo~nneville's men had
heard of the geysers, and some of
them had probably gone into the
park. William S. Bracket states,
in an interesting article published
in the Montana Historical Records,
"In an old Mormon newspaper The
Wasp published at Nauvoo. ILL.,, in
1912, an unknown writer gives an
account of the geysers of Yellow
stone park, which he visited with {
one Alvarez, in 1888. This makes :
the testimony of Bonneville of {
great value as tending to prove t
that the geysers of Firehole river {
Cor Upper Geyser Basin) in Vel t
lowstone park were visited byi l
men as early as the year :

In 1868, Colonel Walter DeLacy. s
when on a prospecting tour, went t
into the Upper Yellowstone coun- J
try, but being in search of gold he L
paid little attention to the geysers. r
