journey was hurriedly loaded upon
their pack animals, saddles were
cinched and slung to saddle bows and
the party was ready to start. Every
thing in the nature of surplus baggage
mineral specimens, trophies of the
hunt, curios of various kinds-were left
behind for late corners as the party
broke for the elk trail.
They had a slow, tedious, laborious
task forcing their way through the
deep 10Y to reach this trail but by
walking and leading their saddle an
imals at the head of the line they
forced a passage through which the
pack animals were able to make their
way slowly.
Finally, they reached the trail of the
elk. After following it for nine DAYS,
after painful, tedious travelling, they
reached a ranch house between the falls
OF he Yellowstone and Yellowstone
lake on the Sinking river. The ranch
house was owned by a squaw mar and
his wife. Here they were able to re-
cuperate and recondition their stock.
They were ultimately able to reach
their homes in safety.
The band of elk had passed down
the river. The group of tourists never
met with them again but they have
doubtless fallen long ere this, a prey
to the hunters, white and red. who are
constantly waging a ruthless war
against them. &C. o. Shields in Har-

HOT-SPRING AQUA
THAT DEFIES COLD
HOW MOOSE LAKE GOT IT'S NAME:
WHY SILVER BOW COUNTY
IS FREE FROM SNAKES

On the old Lowell ranch near
Dillon is a hot spring, the water
of which never freezes even after
the heat has left it and it is placed
in below freezing temperatures. If
mixed with other water it will
freeze, but the spring water itself,
may be placed in a bottle or other
vessel and exposed to the most ex-
treme temperatures without con-
gealing.
Another queer thing is that the water
from the spring ome out hotter in
the winter than it does in the summer.
A visitor who once sampled the water
and noted its peculiarities expressed
the belief that it possessed an alcoholic
content. He proved to himself, however,
that it was Misunderstanding by drinking
to his capacity without the slightest
effect, except for that full
feeling.
Forty-five miles west of Anaconda
lies Moose lake, one of the pretCiest
bodies of water anywhere in Montana's
1t is clear, cool and filled
The Hardin tribune-herald. [volume] (Hardin, Mont.) 1925-1973, 1937-11-19

with trout and it is surrounded by
timber.
Years ago there stood near the lake
a tree upon which "a nailed at right
angles a pole, held securely i'll place
by a brace nailed to it and to the tree
a few feet below. The pole was orig
inally nailed to the tree by early-day
to suspend the carcasses of moose they
killed to facilitate the work of skim
ming and butchering the animal. The
name, Moose lake, was bestowed upon
the body of water by the hunters who
used this tree and pole as an abattoir.
Whether the name was bestowed be-
cause of the use to which the tree was
put or because the country round
about abounded in moose, is not known.
It was probably due to a combination
of both.
There are no snakes in Silver Bow
county unless those are counted which
many men have imagined they saw CT
felt crawling out of their boots. No
one has ever tried to find out why the
reptiles are noticeable by their absence,
the residents being sufficiently pleased
that it is so as to care nothing for
the reason. There is an Indian legend,
however, which indicates that the red
men took note of their absence from
that region and gave a reason for 1t.
The story as it has come from the
Indian grayheads is that once, several
hundred years ago there were snakes
in the area now included in Silver Bow
county. They trace the story to an
ancient Indian medicine man who at
that time lived in a crevice in the rocks
behind the present site of Columbia
Gardens at Butte. He was a tough old
rooster who lived on rattlesnake flesh.
On his death bed he told his daughter
of the cave in which he had made his
headquarters and made her promise to
visit it after his death.
She gave her promise and after her
fathers death, kept it. When she
reached the cave she found it filled
with snakes. She had come at the time
of the annual reunion there of all the
snakes of the western slope OF the
Rocky mountains.
Influenced in some strange way by
the spirit of her father, she went into
a trance and while in that condition
extended it permanently to the snakes.
She came out of it, but the snakes did
not. When she returned home, she
told her people the story of her visit
to her fathers cave, and died herself
within a short time after. Her story
has been handed down from father to
son since and not so many years ago
was freely retailed about the Indian
camps which were then located at the
Butte city dump.
