Simmons, having remained behind
with the Indians.
The last Indians that we saw were
at the present site of the town of
Bozeman, where we had a little fight
with them. From there we came on
up the Madison Wigwam gulch;
thence up that gulch by Bald noun
tain and across by the lakes and
struck what is now Alder gulch at
a point near where the old toll gate
used to be.
Had Meat Straight
This was about o'clock, May 26.
We went into camp at this place and
ate straight meat for supper After we
had eaten, the other members of the
party went up the gulch prospecting
and left Bill Fiairweather and me at
camp to look after and picket the
horses. Fairweather went down a little
way to see if he could find good grass
for the horses. He came across pretty
soon and said he had seen place,
across there, where the bed rock was
exposed and suggested that we do a
little prospecting ourselves.
We took a gold pan and a butcher
knife and went TO the place which was
on the west side of the gulch at its
narroWest point and filled the pan. I
took the pan of dirt and went down
to the creek and proceeded to wash it.
When I had it pretty well PANIED
down, Bill, who was picking at the
bed rock with the butcher knife. called
to me and said: I got a scad.' re-
piled: Well, if you have one I have
a thousand and sure enough I had
them too. We panned two more pans
and that before dark and got $3.50
out of the three pans. We put it all
in our pan and went into camp. BY
that time it was dark. The other fell
lows soon came in. tell you they were
pretty hostile because We had not
picketed the horses. I picked up the
pan, held it out to Sweeney and said:
What do you think of that?'
Sweeney looked at it a minute and
then exclaimed: Sailed, by God
answered: If you were to pipe me
down and run me through a sluice
box you wouldn't find a color Well,
there was peace and rejoicing in camp
and the horses were not thought of
again. The next morning We were all
up bright and early and went to pan

the gulch, made a discovery and
staked their claims at the foot OF what
is now Wallace street. Coover went up
the gulch and made discovery some
where near the head of the flume now
owned by the Alder Gulch Consoli-
dated Co. dn 1899 and Fairweatrer
and myself staked our claims at the
point of original discovery. We PANIED
most of the day and washed out $3.50
in all. In the evening, when we had
quit work we remembered for the first
time that we had no food-no grub
in camp.
Looking around, Fairweather saw
five antelope on the ridge east of
the gulch. He pointed to them and he

of the nation claimant to the dis
tinction of being the only survivor of

These claimants usually attributed

Henry Edgar was born at DumfrieS,
Scotland. He came with his parents
to New Brunswick when he was about
8 or years old. When he went out
in the world to make his own way
his first location was in the state of
Maine, where he engaged in farming
and numbering. From Maine he grad
ually drifted west. In Minnesota he
said, he located the ground on which
the city of Fergus Falls now stands.
From Minnesota TO Idaho
From Minnesota he came to Idaho,
where he got job as a member of
the Canadian boundary survey party;
it was the United States survey group.
He worked with the surveyors gang
until June, 1861, when he was attract
ed to British Columbia, where he tried
his hand at mining. He came back
into Idaho to join in the Buffalo
Hump stampede of 1862. From then
on he was a prospector. He went to
Bannack in the fall of 1862 On Feb.
4, 1868, he started on that expedition
which resulted in the discovery of
Alder gulch.
In February, 1868, I left Bannack,"
Edgar said. Il left Bannack in COM
pany with Bill Fairweather, Barney
Hughes, Tom Coover, Harry Rodgers
and Mike Sweeney. 1t was our plan
to join a party, under the leadership
of Jim Stuart, that was going out on
a prospecting trip. We went over to
the Sinking Water-now known as
the Ruby river-set up a camp and
waited for Stuart's party to come
along. We missed them. Somehow or
other they passed our camp without
seeing us or we them. I guess we were
about two days behind them when we
struck camp and took the trail in an
effort to overtake them. Our guide
was Louis Simmons, a half-breed.
I'VE went up the divide, between
Ramshorn and Bivins gulches and on
over into Meadow creek and across
the Gallatin valley and from there
into the Yellowstone country and on
to the Big Horn, where we we're cap
tured by the Indians one morning
about daylight.
THE Indians took us to their camp
and made medicine over us for three
days, trying to decide whether to kill
us or not. Finally they took every
thing from us, but our horses and
few other things and ordered us to
go back which we started out to do
as best we could, our guide, Louis

THE next morning we made ready

Coming of q second wartime nick

This disclosure followed the pas

Gas Postponement

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-CU.P0
The American Automobile ASsocia-

tigation into the current agitation
for postponement of the December
l deadline for the start of nation
wide gasoline rationing.
In a telegram to the Senate COM
mittee investigating the war pro-
gram, headed by Senator Harry S.
Truman, Democrat, Missouri, the
AA.A. called on the committee to
"precent the scuttling of the Ba-
ruch program'-the nationwide
re-conservation plan worked out
by Bernard M. Baruch and a spe-
cial rubber commmittee.
Truman yesterday announced
that his committee would hold
hearings on the rationing order,
beginning later this week. His an
nouncement apparently headed off
attempts by oil state members of
both the House and Senate to get
the rationing deadline postponed for
80 days. They had already agreed
informally to mark time while an
other committee-the House inter
state and foreign commerce COM
mittee-ended two-day hearings to-
day on the petroleum situation.
