their hearts.
This summer four Franciscan

form the personnel that will
operate during the coming year.
Father Owens hopes to have the

G.. c. MOORE, SHERIDAN MINING Man
HOLDS LEASE FROM CROW TRIBE

from a power boat.
Coulter has made two previous
trips through the canyon and is
understood to have determined
that the gold values are not
confined to the sands in the
river itself, but extend in some
places for many feet up the
gravel banks.
In places the walls of the Big
Horn canyon have a sheer drop
of 5000 feet. Few white men have
ever been through the canyon,
but the Burlington and Northern
Pacific railroads are understood to
be preparing to advertise the
scenic wonders of the place as
soon as the mighty chasm is con-
verified into a lake by construc-
ton of the dam.
The spot will become as popu-
lar with tourists as Yellowstone
park. railroad officials believe.
Moore. the holder Of the placer
lease. is a graduate of the Mis-
souri, School Of Mines at Rolla,
Mo-, and has mined many wears
in manv parts of the United States.
For the last three years he has
lived in Sheridan and has become
we'll acquainted with the Crow
Indians and the huge Big Horn
CANYON.
The confidence of the Indians
in him was expressed when they
made him game warden for the
entire Crow reservation.
Last yea Moore spent about
six months in the Big Horn can-
Won. Investigating the gold placer
possibilities. When he came out
he had two pickle bottles full of
course nuggets. although he did
not dig in any place to a depth
Of more than fifteen feet and
bed rock in most parts of the
canvon is forty feet below the
surface.
In some places the sand was
found to be of almost unbelive-
able richness. he said.
The site which has been picked
for the location of the Big Horn
dam is about ten miles south OF
st. Xavier, Mont, and near the
ruins of old Fort Smith, one Of
the Montana points of historic III
terest.

Eight Companies Seek Leases ir
$l50,000,00 Gold Deposit in
Big Horn Canyon.

According to an article in last
Sundays Denver Post, embellished
with an excellent cut of a section
of the Big Horn canyon, the
mouth of which is approximately
40 miles south of Hardin, the
nearest town, there may be great
mining activity here if reports
OF the Denver mining engineers
are proven after development
work. Local men, who have spent
years prospecting in the can yOn
have found fair values in fine
gold in many parts of the canyon,
but no nuggets, and as yet have
done little development work.
Following is the Denver Posts
article:
Eight of the largest mining
companies in the world are en-
gagged in a scramble for suitcase
rights to the largest untouched
gold placer mining district in the
United States-the Grand canyon
of the Big Horn river in south
central Montana. it Was descios-
ed in Denver Saturday.
More than $50 million dollars
worth of gold, competent engin-
GERS estimate. are waiting to be
taken from the canyon, which is
nearly as spectacular as the Grand
canyon of the Colorado ir Ari-
iona but is virtually unknown to
the American public.
The canyon runs northeast from
the MISUNDERSTANDING line for
approximately forty miles. The
lower end of the canyon lies with
in the Crow Indian reservation
and the boundary of the reserva-
ton runs up the middle of the
Big Horn river in the upper end
Of the canvon.
Grow Indians. meeting in an
impressive tribal council last
month, voted unanimously to
grant an 10 per cent royalty
lease for the part of the canyon
that lies within the reservation
to G. c. Moore, Sheridan, Wyo.,
mining engineer.
Moore's lease is 39.5 miles long,
The Hardin tribune-herald. [volume] (Hardin, Mont.) 1925-1973, 1935-08-30

although for about fifteen miles,
where the river is the boundary
it allows him to work only the
east half of the stream and can
yon.
Department of interior officials
it is understood, have approved
the lease also, although the nor
NAL policy of the department Is
not to allow the exploitation OF
natural resources located OH In
dian lands.
The reason for the favorable
attitude on the gold lease is that
the government plans to dam the
lower end Of the canyon for ir-
r1gation and water power pur-
poses. converting the canyon in
to a huge lake.
Collaborating sands will be un-
der hundreds of feet of water
unless the placer operations are
allowed to be carried out before
the dam project gets under way.
Moore's success in NEGOTIATING
the lease is due to the fact that
ne knows many of the Crow lead
ers personally and they have COM
pc C~oll1iucIlce IN MIN.
If the gold-bearing sands match
expectations. they will do for the
Crows what the Oklahoma oil
discoveries did for Indian tribes
IN that state. and royalties NAV
run into millions.
