Glacier County chief., 1940-08-16
By c. f. MATSON

The facts had become well estab-
llShed regarding the mineral area on
the western edge of the Blackteet In
dian reservation. This area extended
from the Great Northern railroad to
the Canadian line and west to the
summit of the Rockies.
The government was persuaded to
buy this strip of territory. mostly
mountains, from the Indians for ST.
100000. which was placed to their
credit at Washington, D. C. In 1893
this territory. now known as the
"ceded stri p," was thrown open, to
mineral entry. The miners rushed in
reservation and soon it developed into
real stampede. The rivers were high
and along Milk river the snow was
still deep in the willows. There were
no bridges at the time and the wagons
and livestock had to be taken over the
deep snow which in places was under
mined by the water. Quite a number
and there were considerable other loss
es in trying to reach this land Of
promise"
Well, in due time a goodly number
of the seekers for new wealth reached
the mineral districts of st. Mary's and
Swiftcurrent-the vast majority going
into the latter mentioned locality
There were several promising min
eral leads running through this coun-
try from northwest to southeast. The
Stark Bros, Hold Main, w. H Nc
Givern and others staked claims on
what was known as the Bulls Head"
lead. ]. M. Harris had located his
claims in the vicinity of Cracker lake
Frank Stevenson, w. H. Matson, j. H.
Sherburne and others had claims at
Iceberk lake and also near Ptarmigan
lake on what was known as the Ptar-
migan lead. Calderhead & Holmes OF
Helena had claims at the head of
Boulder creek Some of the more color
fully named prospectors in this rush
were Bacon Rind" Dick, Feather
Legs" Matthew, and "Tallow Face
Charlie. Big Nose" Haggerty was there
as were many other noted characters
Most of the promising claims were
bonded and worked Mr. Esler of the
Couer dAlene mining district of Idaho
moved In a concentration for the mine
at Cracker lake. 1t was a hard job
for they had to build a road all the
way up Cracker canyon. Charlie En-
mons, Of later oil fame, was connected
with mining operations on Boulder
creek
The Bulls Head" group of claim.
was bonded for nice sum and 6
considerable number Of miners worked
in the district. This necessitated ;
town. ]. M. Harris and some of tn,
other miners laid out townsite ane
named It Allyn. Harris built the frs
ground floor with general merchan
cupied by Q dance hall. Harris va
