It is believed by Otto Engel that he
is the lucky man to discover the Lost
mine of the Emory district for which
hundreds have searched in vain for
half a century.
It was in 1877 that a lone prospector
brought in to Deer Lodge nuggets Of
gold Of almost unbelievable richness.
Residents of the town refused to believe
in the authenticity Of the samples as.
thought they had been brought in from
some source to inspire confidence in the
district east of there. The prospectOr,
however, laughed at their accusations and
offered to prove all his declarations.
Three citizens who were the only ones
out of hundreds to place any credence
in the story consented to make the trip
with him to the discovery. They set
out and after a hard trip over hills and
through timber reached a spot said to
be within a half mile of the rich de-
posit. The prospector would take them
no further. The agreement was that he
was to proceed alone and take ore from
the shaft and bring it to the party.
The three waited until dark. Then as
it was imperative for two Of them to re-
turn to town the third was left to await
the return Of the old man.
Body Is Found
Morning came and still no sign Of the
prospector. The watcher looked in every
direction and finally returned to Deer
Lodge where a posse of citizens was Or
ganized to search for the miner. Late
in the afternoon his lifeless body was
found at the foot Of a ravine. He had
his shotgun in one hand and a string
Of grouse in the other. No wounds were
on his body and heart trouble was as
cribed as the cause Of death. He had
gone to the land whence no traveller re-
turns and 2ad taken his big secret with
him. For him there was no longer need
Of rich mines and yellow nuggets.
stampede ensued to the district but
no man could find the elusive mine, al
though many dollars and much time was
! consumed in the effort. Ever and again
in the time that followed the search for
the Lost mine has been renewed without
! result.
This fall while out hunting deer, Otto
EngeI stumbled upon an old trap door
and some abandoned workings. Exam
lining further, he discovered what he be-
lieved to be the Lost mine Of the an
} cient prospector. He has brought in sam
pies which are said to be wonderfully
rich and it is believed that a new era Il
in sight for the mining district east Of
Deer Lodge.

After reading the Post letter telling of
the death of Captain Fielding and what
followed, it is a relief to turn to an issue
of the paper two days later and read :
I'VE have reason to be proud, and the
citizens Of Virginia City have reason to
be proud that their town contains the
first church edifice in Montana terri
tory 1t was a Methodist church cost
ing $500, nearly half of which was
raised by contributions of the congrega-
ton, perhaps at the opening Of the build
ing. This may be inferred when we are
told 1T was pleasing to see the cheer
fulness with which the call was respond
ed to-"
Whether the congregation which was
held up for the 500 required to discharge
the indebtedness felt as cheerful as its
members were reported to have been can
be determind only by those who have
been present elsewhere on a similar oc-
casiOn. This Methodist church building
may have been the first church erected
after Montana territory, but long before
this Father Ravalli had built st. Mary's
at Stevensville in the Bitter Root valley
The Methodist undertaking was to Chris
ttanize the whites-the Catholic to con-
vert the Indians. What was their sue
cess, history records.

Ceremonial Tepee
Much Revered by
Cheyenne Indians

A large tepee frame, built Of heavy
cottonwood logs and decorated with
yards of calico cloth, stands beside the
road just above the Indian fair graunds
at Lame Deer, where it viii remain
until it is worn away by the elements.
1t was used to support the dance tepee
in which the willow dance was per-
formed by the Cheyenne Indians dur
ing the Indian fair this summer. Once
such a tepee frame has been used i'm
this ceremony, no Indian will touch it.
not even to carry away the logs for
lfue.
The willow dance, which is a ceremony
closely related to the medicine lodge and
sundance ceremonies in the religion OF
the plains Indians, was performed at fair
time by some Of the older members OF
the tribe for the entertainment OF white
visitors and younger Indians who had
never witnessed this ritual Yards OF
cloth, which were tied to the top Of the
tepee as sacrifices to the Great Spirit
are stil in place, and viii not be re-
moved.
According to the Indians who have
taken part IN the ceremonies, the willov
dance is more difficult even than the
sun dance, requiring greater endurance
and fortitude. The physical tests in Ia.
ceremony include enduring IRE and
dancing until stopped by fatigue.

employed by government geological ex-
peditions at a much earlier day. He has
large clientage of prominent and
wealthy people of the east, the junior
RockefelIers being among those who make
almost yearly pilgrimages to the Randall
ranch.
OF the early guides in Wyoming, Col.
Tom Cooper was one Of the very first, as
he was the best known. One Of his,
hunting guests was Charles Carroll Of
Carrollton of Revolutionary fame. At
later time, the Winthrops, a prominent
Boston family, were his guests on hunt
ing trips. In the Jackson Hole, still IA
nous as a big game country, were such
noted hunting guides as Charles Catrn,
S. M. Leek, who made many pictures OF
the region, S. F. Banderant, Mr.. Simp-
son and such characters as "Chilcot
Bill"
Many of the people who came west
for these hunting trips became so fas-
cinated with the country that they re-
manned here and bought ranches OF their
own. Sometimes a guide whom they had
esteemed highly was assisted in securing
more land or cattle and the easterners
would enter partnership with the west
ern man.
Many EngIishmen
Among the early travellers, many were
Englishmen, some of them Of the no.
bility and the sprinkling Of English
ranchers or English financed cattle out
fits in the old cattle days was directly
due in nearly every instance to the in
terest aroused in the country during
hunting trips.
The interest Of eastern visitors in the
country also contributed to the develop
ment of the dude ranch. Eastern people
who had bought land in the cattle coun-
try frequently invited friends to spend
the summer with them on the ranch.
Other cattlemen through their financial
connections or on their trips east with
cattle came to know people Of the east
to whom they would extend invitations
to visit them Invasion Of these summer
visitors became frequent.
Many who had visited the ranches OF
friends in this way were so charmed with
the free and easy life Of the plains that
they told their friends about it on every
occasion on their return and the listen
ers began to look about for an oppor-
tunity to spend the summer in so enjoy
able a fashion. Then as interest grew IN
the new variety Of vacation, there was 6
gradual change from free hospitality ex-
tended to friends to paid hospitality open
to anyone willing to pay.

YTHE Sully expedition had as its topo
graphical engineer, Captain Fielding
4 of the End U. S. Cavalry. He was
man Of high scientific attain
ments which had been recognized by no
less an authority than the Smithsonian
institution. His tragic fate is narrated
in the Montana Post of Sept. 8, 1864,
from which first learned it. do not
remember hearing it mentioned at the
time perhaps because such occurrences
were not then uncommon.
Captain Fielding realized that the In
dianS had not received what in modern
terminology would be called a square
deal. He further believed that if treat
ed right they could be trusted. He
failed to take into consideration, how
ever, the fact that the majority Of white
men were not of this opinion, holding
that "the only good Indian is a dead
one" and the Indians were aware of this
attitude of the invaders. They might be
shot on sight; why, then, should they
differentiate the Indian lover from the
Indian hater, in a manner the Indians
could understand.
1t was hot day in summer when Cap
tain Fielding rode ahead of the rest o1
the company to a bluff that commanded
view Of the Shayenne river and a por-
ton Of the valley through which it ran
The water looked cool and inviting and
accompanied by his orderly and a scout
the captain went down to the stream FOL
drink and to rest under tree on the
river bank.
On reaching the river, the scout rode
across it when he dismounted, took of
the saddle and picketed his horse. ThI
captain also leaped from his horse, anC
hurrying to the river stopped to drink
AS he did so, three Indians arose from
a clump Of underbrush near at hanS
and shot him twice, one bullet piercin
his breast, causing instant death. Tn

the park was another favorite starting
point and many Of the old hunters, trap
pers and prospectors Of that section also
acted as guides.
Dick Randall's Record
The experience of Dick Randall Of the
o. T. 0. ranch near Corwin Springs
north of Gardiner runs the whole gamut
from early day guide to present day dude
rancher. He has been conducting hunt
ing parties and other expeditions through
the game regions around Yellowstone
park for 40 years. He conducted Theo-
dore Roosevelt on a hunting trip while
he was governor of New York and was

Billings was one Of the principal out
fitting points in those days for hunting
parties. Charles and Ed Newman, who
had explored the surrounding mountains
and game country more thoroughly than
anyone else at the time, were guides for
numerous parties. Joe Cochran, the DAN
fords and Reardons, "Skookum" Joe An
derson, Sam Elweu and other pioneers
also often acted as guides. John D. Lose
kamp, Billings pioneer merchant and
mountain enthusiast frequently organ
lied groups for hunting and fishing trips.

Indians are Killed
The orderly hastened back to meet
General Sully and report the killing of
Fielding. Two companies Of cavalry were
at once dispatched in pursuit Of the In
dians, who were soon overtaken. They
tried their best to escape, even stripping
of what little they wore in order to
carry no extra weight while fleeing. Their
efforts were Of no avail, and all three
were killed. They proved to be Yank-
tonaise Sioux, a branch of the tribe
known as Cut Heads.
The vengeance Of the soldiers did not
cease with the death of the murderers,
the heads of these being cut OF and
placed on poles at the spot where the
captain was killed.
Evidently the letter in the POST was
written by a member Of the Sully eXpe-
dition; either a civilian or a soldier; for
the contributor continues: ''In moving
from camp next morning the road led by
the spot, and as we observed the ambu-
lance bearing the body of the officer,
moving slowly by their heads with their
CHASTITY grinning countenances, the long
black hair whipping in the wind over
their repulsive features, we felt that a
just vengeance had overtaken the viii
famous Sioux and that such a fate was
richly deserved"
The Shayenne, or Sheyenne river, as it
| is now written, is a tributary of the Red
river, which it joins near Fargo, N. D
It rises near the middle of the state
taking an eastern course for a short dis
tance, then flowing almost directly south
until it is almost to the southern boun-
Diary, when it turns abruptly northeast
to its union with the Red. Both Of the
Dakotas have a Cheyenne river, pro-

was guided by Jim Bridger through Wy

who killed thousands Of buffalo and
other game was followed by princes,
counts, and other titled foreigners seek

With the coming of the railroads, the
difficulties and expenses of such expedi-

brought groups Of hunters into the ter
