In silence he was given one-cent

for it, and in silence he departed.

Returning from San Diego, Jim

the roaring sensation one sometimes
feels driving down Mountain Springs

drove gayly on. In the vicinity of
Coyote Wells he felt, or sensed
sudden shock, then another. They

Jim returned 70 BraWley to report

and his party visited the fort in 1882.
Gore attempted to make bargain with
officials of the American Fur Co.
whereby they would build him new
boats for the descent to St. Louis. A
price was set but Gore considered it
much too high. He felt that the Yank-
ees were taking advantage of him, and
probably they were, for it was necessary
that he have new boats if he were to
move his entire equipment down the
river. In fit of rage at being thus
treated, Gore threw most of his equip
ment, wagons, harnesses, saddles, tents,
and most of his food supplies into a
pile and made huge bonfire of it. Ev-
erything but his personal baggage and
his trophies went up in flames. Gore
watched the leaping flames with salts
faction. In her prize winning poem,
"Sir st. George Core" Grace Stone
Coates has described the scene and
pictures Gore dancing around his big
and expensive bonfire in "a womanish
fury" The first burned until after
dark and Gore placed guard around
the smoldering embers so that Indians
or residents Of Fort Union could not
steal any of the metal parts of the
wagons. When the twisted mass had
cooled he ordered it thrown into the
Missouri river. He sold his horses and
cattle to the Indians and, cussins the
officials of the American Fur Co. in
particular and all Yankees in general,
boarded his old boats and moved off
down the river toward Fort Berthold.

who resided at 'Lissadel House," Coun-
ty Sligo.
The Gore hunting expedition which
left st. Louis in the late summer of
1854 was the most picturesque and elab-
crate Sportsman'S caravan that ever
entered the Rocky mountain region.
Certainly it was the largest and best
equipped hunting expedition ever as
sembled in America before or since. In
describing the caravan, Capt. P. B.
Marcy of the United States army, who
interviewed Gore at the close of the
expedition in 1856 at st. Louis, wrote {:
"The outfit and adventures of this
titled ninrod, conducted as they were
on the most gigantic scale, probably ex-
ceeded anything of the kind ever be-
fore attempted on this continent"
There were 40 persons in the party
when the start was made from st.
Louis and to this number Gore kept

adding along the route of travel so
that by the time the hunting regions
were reached the company numbered
more than SO. It Is compliment to
Cores personality that every man in
his company was willing to follow
in high esteem. His followers liked his
Irish wit and his ability to laugh off
the hardships accompanying travel in
the frontier regions. In his party were
secretaries, stewards, cooks, gun
smith, and dog tenders. Gore carried
hundreds of guns and Captain Marcy
wrote: He showed me his guns Of
various descriptions and calibers, suited
to the destruction of all kinds Of game.
of Joe Manton, Purdy, Wesley Rich
ards, and other celebrated gun makers"
Gore had an income of 100000 a year,
a considerable amount at the time, and
no expense was spared. He had left
the luxury of his Irish castle to spend
more than two years in the American
wilds but he carried quantities Of bag
few of the comforts of home no matter
where he might be camped. There
were casks Of finest wines and liquors,
large tents, camp furniture, his own
luggage marked elegantly with the lion
rampant of the Gore family crest, and
a library. All this had to be trundled
thousands of miles over wilderness
have presented a rare picture with the
gay Irishman riding in the lead and
behind him his retinue of 112 horses,
u yoke of oxen, IA dogs; wagons and
81 carts.
The first lengthy stop of the expedi-
ton was made at Fort Laramie in
Wyoming in the fall of 1854. Here Gore

Here he was welcomed for he had
plenty OF money to spend and the
waning fur trade had left the Fort not
too prosperous. He spent the winter
there and returned to st. Louis in the
summer of 1856. Packing his trophies
in cases, he returned to Ireland and
the Manor Gore" No doubt some of
the trophies of his eventful hunt still
decorate the walls of the old Manor.
Gore returned to America once more
in 1875 to hunt in the Everglades of
Florida.
Sir st. George Gore merely PECAN
the slaughter of the buffalo on the
Yellowstone river. The campaign of
killing continued for years. Until 1873
not more than the natural yearly in
! crease were killed. Then the buffalo
robe hunters began their work in Mon
! tana and North Dakota. Miles City be-
came the center of the robe trade and
in the winter of 1890 more than
IS GOO robes passed through that place
| to the markets of the east The follow
! ing winter the output was. $4,000 peltS
and the peak came in the winter hunt
ing season of 1851 1872. The Northern
Pacific railroad had built into Montana
traders purchased 100000 skins. The
next year the number fell to 75,0OO and
declined rapidly from then on. Soon
| there were only few scattered groups
of buffalo left and the saga of the buff
| falo hunters drew to close The tnun-
| dering herd had been almost erased
from the earth and robe hunting was
no longer profitable. Shooting buffalo
became novelty and worthy of men,
i ton in the newspapers. Red Lodge
newspapers of the period show that
no little excitement and discussion re-
suited when the last buffalo in the
Red Lodge region was killed on Elbow
creek in 1904.

ing knowledge of the principles OF
physics long before the coming of the
white man is shown by flint arrow
head found recently in the Snowy
mountains by Forest Ranger L. H. Nc
Lean.
Instead of the ordinary flat con-
struction, this particular specimen has
been made with twist, so that in light
it would have spinning motion, much
like riflings impart to bullet. Such
construction makes for greater accur-
acy as wind resistance has less effect.
David Lake, forest ranger at Har-
lowton, said that this type of arrow
head is very rare and ancient. He was
informed by S. Barnum Brown, cura-
tor Of the American Museum of Nat
ural History, that few have been found.
Mr.. Brown makes annual trips to Mon
tana for archaeological research and Is
widely recognized authority also on
Indian culture.
On the same trip into the Snowies
MI. Mclean found a crude spear point
made from limestone. That region
abounds In relics Of the days when In.

kill the buffalo in wholesale numbers
merely, for sport.
Sir st. George Gore arrived in St.
Louis in 1854 and declared his intention
OF making hunting trip into what was
at that time an almost trackless Wild
erness and which is now the territory
included in the states of Montana, Wy
ties discouraged the Ir;shman in this
plan but Sir st. George was persistent
and finally left St. Louis with pass
port from the United States bureau of
Indian affairs. Historians do not agree
in their accounts of this titled hunts
man and his activities while in the
west. Most leave the "St." out Ut his
sportsman" others call him a ruth
gay eccentric" and another describes
him as "mercurial, wrathful, efferves-
cent and reckless" An official of the
American Fur Co. with whom Sir st.
George had trouble described the noble
man simply as "a stinker." E. S. Top
ping, author Of CHRONICLES of the Vel
lowstone," called Gore an Englishman
other writer who has mentioned Gore
has said he was a native of County
Sligo, Ireland, but this is not true. It
seems, perhaps, minor detail. but no
doubt the error, If he could hear about
it, would make Sir st. George Gore
fighting mad, for like all other Celts he
was no doubt very proud Of his native
veals that Sir st. George Gore vas a
native of County Donegal and not
Sligo. His home was the ancient Manor

north coast of Ireland Historians have

well as that of the late Col. T. C. Mar
shall, also of Butte. In 1916, when Mfs.
Dixon died, she left the school 500, 900,
the proceeds from which were to be
used to maintain the library and pro-
vide for payment of a new professor
ship, which was to be established In
the law school. This position was to be
known as the William Writ Dixon
chair.
Although the A. c. NJ Co. has given
the library purchased from the late
W. A. Clark estate, which included
1000 volumes, the late Judge ]. j. Nc
Hatton of Butte gave his, the law school
library is known as the Dixon Memoir
ial library.
Since the beginning of the school
year, the library has bought 1924 new
volumes, the latest purchase being the
Law Times reports of $50 volumes, dat
ing back to 1860, which brings the
estimated value of the library to
$75, 900.

'U' LAW LIBRARY
HAS HIGH RATING
WORTH $4,000; SEVERAL LARGE
COLLECTIONS ARE GIVEN TO
SCHOOL

With more than $4,000 volumes
and "A periodicals., the State uni
versity law library is one of the
most extensive and complete in the
country and this is one of the rea-
sons why the law school is rated
among the upper third of the cOun-
try's Law schools.
The reason for the eminence of the
library is due to endowments made
when it was founded. In 1911, when the
school was established, Mrs. William
Writ Dixon of Butte, gave the schoo
