RAILS TO BUTTE
46 YEARS AGO
OLD TIMERS DOUBT THAT EVEN AIR
PLANE MAIL WILL GIVE
EQUAL THRILL
When First Utah & Northern Train
Chugged Into Mining City on Narrow
Gauge Track 1t Was Real Event; /;
Spelled Disaster to Stage Coaches

Butte Is center on the main route
OF two tranScOntinental railroads today
Two other great lines reach the city.
Bus lines also ply to and from the
greatest mining city on earth. In a
few months the city will be on an air
mail line and a little later will prob
ably be one Of the main points on an
air passenger route.
With all Of those facts, it is interest
ing for Butte old-timers to recall that Il
is 46 years since the coming Of the first
steam railway train into the mining
camp Of Butte.
The forerunner Of modern locomotives
into Butte was the packhorse and later
the narrow gauge road. It was 46 years
ago this month that miners, prospectors
and even some Indians, paused to watch
and reception committee was thrilled
when the first Utah g. Northern railroad
train steamed into the old U. g. N. sta,
tion. Since then the development Of the
railway has been rapid and Butte has oc.
cupied an important place as new mile.
Of tracks were laid and new roads came
into existence.
It was about 81 years ago that the frs
freight came into Butte, strapped to :
pack saddle on a horses back. Then fol.
lowed the horse and muls trains, called
into the small mining camp by the de
mand Of placer miners. Freight wa.
hauled by those teams from Helena. Vir
ginia City and Corinne, Utah. The oI,
Utah town was for years the startinl
point Of the freighters that came int,
Montana with supplies for the pioneers
COrinne continued to be headouarters
with Fort Benton, the head of naviQa
ton, as rival, until the Utah & North
ern company began to build its narroy
gauge road northward
In the early 'o0's Red Rock, Dillon an,
Silver Bow we're the chief points of 10
terest on the railroad map in Montana
Finally Butte was fixed as the ternainll
OF the U. & N. road and in December o
1881 the first train pulled in over e mar
row gauge track.

of the meat. We boiled that bear and
it tasted good to our famished stomachs
and no i'll consequences followed. Had
we baked it, it would have killed us all.
The Indians were likewise reduced to
the extremity of eating poisoned wolves
which we had killed during the fall.
"Durfee g. Peck, the firm for which we
were working, were well aware that we
must be running short Of provisions and
supplies, and three times they started out
mule trains to our post but every time
they were driven in by Sitting Bull.
Finally Tom O'Hanlon, who died at Fort
Belknap in 1899, started out with one
Sioux Indian to drive the team, and after
many narrow escapes arrived at the post
one night about 10 o'clock. There was a
happy party in the fort that night, every
man sitting up until morning cooking
hapjacks and eating them. 1t was our
first square meal in many days.
"One day while Joe Butcher and
were sitting in one Of the block houses
an Indian came in and squatting down
beside us after a while began to tell us

his troubles with the whites. He was
Santee Sioux, a member of Long Hairs
band, and had taken an active part in
the Minnesota massacre. He told us a
story Of frightful barbarity. At one house
which they entered on their raid they
found all the occupants dead except a
baby in the cradle. They took it and
after starting hot fire in the stove, put
the live child in the oven and baked it,
1t seemed to me while the Indian was
telling the story that he was suffering
from remorse, just as a white man would
after such an act. After he had finished
his story he went to his tepee and
brought us some coffee, which he offered
in reparation.
Attacked by Indians
soon after OHanlon returned to Fort
Peck the snow disappeared to some ex-
tent, allowing the Indians to hunt again
and relieving the tension to a great ex-
tent. About this time Lou Silcott and
quit working by the month and went
to chopping wood on Trover's point for
which we would get SIS a cord when the
steamboats, began running. Although
amateurs at the work, we averaged two
cords a day each. We had been at this

to protest their innocence, declaring
themselves ready to join the whites in
fighting the Bloods.
Go For ReinfOrcements
These, after the massacre, said they
would go to Belly river to get reinforce-
ments, either for their own protection
or in order to return and wipe out the
few whites at Ophir and Fort Benton.
They must have visited the Piegans
for they told the latter they had killed
IL whites, and if that did not do they
would kill more. They further said that
only two or three of the massacred men
fought. They shot these, but did not
mean to shoot the others. They would
take clubs and fight them like squaws.
This last boastful remark is not clear,
leaving one to put his own construction
on it. They certainly did not mean that
they killed the remainder Of the men
with clubs, as they were all shot, in some
instances with both bullets and arrows.
If it were the whites at Benton and Ophir
they intended to fight in this way, would
they use clubs after the manner of
squaws, or as If the whites were squaws?
Probably the latter. The club has ever
been an effective weapon in tanning wom-
anlxind.
The home Of the Bloods is across the
line. Instead of hurrying there for re-
cruits, they very likely felt that safety
lay IN night, and 1t would be well for
them not to be caught in United States
territory.
We shall never know the whole truth
Of this massacre, there were so many
conflicting stories then, near the time of
its occurrence, and now with so few nv-
ing who were in either Fort Benton or
Ophir when it happened. The story of
one who, as a child, saw the corpses of
