The trip consumed 5 weeks with
the party driving overland 10 Ed
monton. Canada and going in from
that point by air TO Deadman's
lake. several hundred miles north
of the United States border into
practically unexplored country.
Duffle of the party was packed
in overland by three half breed
Indian guides.
An unexpected thrill OF the trip
which the doctors do not care To
have repeated came as they took
off in a pontoon equipped plane
from the surface OF the lake in a
heavy fog and snowstorm hedge
hopping huge pine trees only TO
be suddenly confronted by the
face of a huge mountain upon
which they might have crashed
but for the expert flying of their

panoply Of steel. Wounds in the rear
of the body were seldom fatal. It was
only in the region of the heart that
a bullet was sure, and the Indians
and white hunters always aimed to
strike there.
III the spring of the year. when the
ice was going out, great numbers Of
the animals were drowned in the Mis-

some years their bodies floated down
the stream in such numbers as to
render the air almost uncomfortable to
boat crews and passengers or their
way up the river. Indians liked this
kind Of buffalo meat better than any
other and would tow carcasses ashore
TO be cut up.
Today there is a buffalo herd in q

the powder and ball after each shot
had been fired. Later, when the ex-
termination of the species was proceed
ing in full swing, still-hunting" was
practiced. This was a simple. effective
method Of slaughter. The hunter would
crawl from the leeward to within sure
rifle shot without being discovered.
Then, choosing the best concealment
the ground afforded, he would begin
the work Of destruction by firing at
the nearest animal. The buffalo, see
ing nothing and hearing only the re-
port. would usually remain quiet in
wonderment. Presently the wounded
animal would fall and the others,
smelling its blood, would gather round
and try to make it rise or else go on
grazing, evidently thinking that their
companion had lain down to rest.
Meanwhile the hunters rifle would be
busy. Shot after shot would bring
down victim after victim until the
whole band had been killed.

St Louis one firm bought 100000 skins
in 1871. There were many trading posts
dealing in these and smaller peltrieS
In Cheyenne in 1872 there was a shed
at the Union Pacific tracks that meas
ured IT'S by GO feet and 30 feet high
that was literally so packed with buff
falo hides that the walls bulged. Fort
Benton. Mont, sent 10000 buffalo
hides to market in 1876.
Two Great Herds
Toward the end Of the sixties the
buffalo had divided into two great
herds-the southern herd and the
northern. The great southern herd was
the first to go, being practically ex-
tinct at the close of 1872. After that
date only a few struggling herds re-
tinct in the early eighties. The greatest
slaughter of the animals took place in
1872, 1873 and 1874, when the number
slain ran into the millions.
Hundreds of the most famous hunt
ers of this country and Europe visited
the plains in the early seventies to take
a farewell hunt before the bison dis
appeared. The Grand Duke Alexis
youngest son of Emperor Alexander OF
Russia, with numerous retinue, came
with party from St. Petersburg and
went on tour through Buffalo
Land" in the winter of 1871-72. After
grand chase on the western plains
in Wyoming under the guidance OF
Buffalo Bill and Generals Sheridan
and Custer, they realized that the buff
falo as a wild species was doomed.
The most conspicuous person en-
gagged in killing bison was Col. William
F. Cody. whose sobriquet, Buffalo
Bill" has been a household word for
more than half a century. In 1867
when the Kansas Pacific was being
built across the plains to Denver. Cody,
then a young man, was employed at
$500 a month to keep the army OF
workmen supplied with meat. He was
engaged in this work for Is months
during which time he killed on an
average of eight buffalo a day. After
1860 few buffalo were seen from the
stage lines near enough to permit the
passengers shooting them, although
thousands could often be seen in plain
sight out of range. The buffalo soon
became shy and kept away from the
travelled road. The last buffalo killed
east of the Mississippi river was shot
in 1882.
Made Huge Profits
The trading posts, and especially
those along the Platte river, made
enormous profits bartering for buffalo
hides. There were more than a dozen
of these within a distance of 200 miles
between Fort Kearney and JuleSburg,
and about half as many between Jules
burg and Denver. Many of the shrewd-
est traders in the west engaged in that
business and acquired fortunes in a
short time. For pound or two of a
cheap grade of brown sugar or an
equivalent of cheap coffee they could
buy a buffalo robe worth from S. to
$40 at the Missouri river towns The
finest tanned COW robes could be OBJ
tanned for twice that amount of sugar
or coffee. Some of these were painted

feels a warm and loving interest in
the buffalo, for the fate of his race
and OF the bison are akin. Both now
exist at the mercy Of their old-time
foe, the white man. Had it not been
for the comparatively recent activity
in establishing the two herds amid
suitable surroundings for propagation,
the buffalo would in a very few years
have departed from the face Of the
earth with the DISTINGUISHING Indian
and would live only in the history and
tradition OF the western frontiers that
