THE DAILY EVENING,; TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, MARCH 9, 1871, THE YELLOWSTONE REGION. SHE OOUNTBT TRAVERSED ST THE NOBTHEItN TkClTIO BATXROAD A BLOOMINO WILDERNESS TO BE . OrENKD TJP TO CIVILIZATION THE SCENERY ALONG THE TELIiOWSTONE BITER THE CLIMATE THE FERTILITY OT THE COCN TBT, ETC. ETC. We ara permitted to make the following extracts from the private letters of a young Thiladelphian who visi"l the Territory of Montana in 18G6, aud, in company with A party of some two hundred miners, descended the Yellowstone river with a fleet of Maokl naw boats, a few miles from its Bource (Yel lowstone Lake) to its mouth, where it emp ties into the Missouri river near Fort Union, the entire distance with its windings being roughly estimated at one thousand mile. The scenery along the Yellowstone country is grand and beautiful. Nature, here, id in all its primeval glory and magniljenca, just as the hand of the Almighty created it. All the readings of wild life in the West that I have spent many pleasant hours home with, were here to the fallest extent realized. After leaving Boseman City ('fifteen houses, these mountain cities are not very large, you mu6t know), the second day we entered the Great Canon of the Yellowstone, find beheld one of Nature's masterpieces, llow Bier etadr, the great artist, would have loved to gaze upon this magnificent scene, which my poor brain and pen can do so little towards describing its sublimities! On the right rose a solid wall of mountain nine hundred feet in height, while to the left, and across the beautiful valley some few hun dred feet wide, where the tall wild grass was growing most luxuriantly six and seven feet high, and grove after grove of fine, large old cottonwooditrees were scattered here aud there in clumps projected immense, heavy, -.detached boulders of yellow rock, that seemed wafting to fall, like an avalanche, almost at any moment, into the little valley below. Along the base of this solid wall of mountain gently glided the Yellowstone, whose waters here, from the melted snows of the Wind lliver Mountains, are as vestal, Fure, and clear as crystal itself, and in fancy imagined I had discovered the waters of life and beauty which the famous Ponce de Leon once sought. Afar oil in the distance, and forming the background of this grand picture, rose three distinct spurs of the Wind lliver Mountains, in all their solemn and awful grandeur, while the deep blue mist that partially obscured them seemed to me as though the hand of the Omnipotent had drawn himself the veil, to shut out from mortal view the secrets held within their rocky bosoms, of days long, long ago ay, centuries when the mighty heaving and convulsions of Nature formed them. You may think, my dear friend, that I am poetical in this description. I can only say, in reply, that any one who could gaze stolidly and indifferently on scenery like what I be held in this very "fastness of Nature," must indeed be a stranger to those finer and better sensibilities that ennoble every human being whom God has created. The finest trout fishing in the world can there be found. All that is necessary to get a nice mess for your breakfast is to take a short stroll along the little valley of this graud canon, and in a very short time you can oaten enough grasshoppers among the wild grasses to last you all day for bait. Then cutting a young willow tree for your fishing pole, yoa tie the end of your line to if; placing a big fat grasshopper on your hook, you quietly seep back a little ways from the edge of the bink, and hiding your shadow among some of the willow bushes, throw your line into the clear pool below. How it makes the blood tingle through every vein in your body, if you are an enthusiastic sportsman, to reoeive the gal vanic jerk of a fine, big two-pound trout, as he darts with lightning speed away with your bait. Then the exquisite pleasure of captur ing the prize, playing with it in the water, and by a sudden, dexterous jerk, swing him in triumph out of the stream upon the soft grass beside you. How beautifully mottled and speckled are these mountain trout that oome from the clear waters of the Yellowstone! I have caught trout in this canon that weighed near three pounds. The glory and exquisite beauty and grandeur of this Yellowstone ca non is something that, once seen, can never be forgotten. When I first saw it from an opening gorge in the mountain, whose tops were covered with everlasting snow, and lit up by a bright September sun, the scene made so powerful an impression upon me, that I stood for a long while looking eagerly on, with feelings of deep and profound emo tion. It was a sight to be remembered for a lifetime. The incidents witnessed in this adventurous trip of descending the Yellowstone river in Mackinaw boats were bo numerous that, had I the time, would fill a longer letter than pro bably you wish to read in one day, with many 8th ring details. Our party consisting of near two hundred men, mostly miners from Virginia and Ban nock cities, have the credit of being the second expedition that ever came down this river, which is roughly estimated at one thou sand miles. Not a vestige of civilization did we encounter along its entire course, with the exception of one or two solitary huts near an emigrant trail, which had been hastily put up by the "Tenderfeet" in orossing their wagons over Borne of the rough mountain streams that empty into the river. I have crossed myself nearly all the tributaries that flow into the Yellowstone while on the plains last sum mer, and many a time we were compelled to jump in these swollen streams and swim across with our mules and ponies, which was often attended with great danger to our lives. I should have mentioned before this, that in passing Buffalo rapids on this river we saw an immense encampment of the Crow la- dians. Their wicky-ups or tepees were scat tered along the rooky shore for a long ways, and we estimated there must have been fully five thousand Indians. They are considered friendly to whitesin Montana. Their salutations of "How ! how ! " which they shouted out to ns from the shore, and some even rode their ponies into the river np to the saddle-bows, could not induce ns to land our boats, for we were then several hundred miles from the canon and right in the heart of the Indian re gion, and we kept constantly on the alert against any Burpnse or treachery. The scenery along the route of the Yellow. Btone is glorious. The heavy forests are in their very primeval growth on both sides of the river, and so wild that frequently when we landed our beats to hunt we were obliged to use small band-axes to clear our way through the thick brush and wild grape-vines that abounded in the greatest profusion, i along, also, with the spreading b uines of the red buffalo berries, of which we ate large quantities. For nearly four hundred miles this river seems to run down hill, and many an exciting hour have we passed in running the many dangerous rapids which are so numerous on ile 1'cUowaUUiv. biuue vi tue ridu ar so appalling that I have seen out rough, hardy miners stand with firm, compressed lips and pale faces, watching every motion of oar boat, as with lightning speed we shot d wa over these watery chasms, and then, with the exolamation, "Thank God, boys, we have passed that one safely," our boats so filled with water that we bailed out for dear life. The Yellowstone is walled in for many miles with yellow rooks of huge proportions that overhang in many places this river, and I was informed by an old miner that its name was derived from this fact. This region is the very home of wild game, I have seen swimming the river, and aloug the forests that skirt the shores, whole banks of el& with horns or antlers five and six feet, in Borne cases; then there were buf falo, black tail doer, black bears, antelope, mountain sheep, cnyote and gray wolves whose melancholy howling at night around our camps I have a vivid recollection of to the present day. It was often a very comical sight to see perched up away off upon some rocky crag an old mountain goat, with hi wise-looking beard, benignly gazing upon our fleet as we prssed down the river. This would give an opportunity to some of our crack rifle-shots to try their skill upon, so, steadying the boat, one of our men would quietly rise up and, firmly bracing himself, brinfc hip favorite old "St. Louis Hawkins" to his shonldev, draw the finest kind of a bead's eye, and then touch the hair trigger, a shtrp, quick report, like the crack of a whip, and then down came the old goat tumbling from ledge to ledge until finally it rolled down the shelving beach to our boat where we had pulled in. Occasionally we would come to open coun try along this river, and then we got a full view of the beautiful valley of the Yellow stone. It seemed so enticing that some of our men said they would be almost willing to stop and go no further, but settle down, build a ranche, und go to grazing. A fow days before we reached the Missouri river we passed through a portion of what the French Canadian trappers called the "Mauvais Terres," or in plain English "Bad Lands." Hera the scenery was very curious and fantastic. The whole country looked like it had been calcined by some terrible volcano everything seemed to have been burned to a white cinder, and vegetation was very scanty indeed. From this point on the river until we reached Fort Union, near to its mouth, which fcirpties into the Missouri, we saw large strata of coal quite frequently: the veins looked very thick and broad. I have n doubt it was exoellent bituminous coal, which some of these days, when this beautiful portion of the United States is built up, may be mined profitably. With the exception of about a day's travel through these "Mauvais Terres," the entire trip was through a country filled with as wild and startling scenerv as the most ardent lover of Nature oouldhave w ished for. The climate of Montana is most delightful. Fre quently, when we shot more wild game than we needed we cut it up in long, thin strips and strung it on a long string around our boat: before night it was almost completely cured thus we Lad excellent meat for days ahead it don t spoil in this country. I have noticed wild oats and barley growing sixteen feet high with the greatest luxuriance in the many valleys of this splendid territory finer country can nowhere be found for grazing cattle than in Montana, and especially the Yellowstone region. The grasses oome them selves, end thup all winter the cattle can wan der around these valleys and find plenty of food to live upon. The small clumps of bright, green, tender grass, caiJed by the mountaineers "bunch grass," has the most astonishing effect in fattening stock. I recollect last summer in my trip across the plains, after coming out of the "Alkali country" our mules and ponies were badly run down in flesh and looked wretchedly poor and thin. No sooner had we Btruck this nutritious "bunch grass" than they at once got fat again, and when we finally reached Virginia City they looked as sleek and plump as when we bought them at Umana, on the Missouri river, in the spring, A well-known butcher at Virginia City in formed me that they always selected the leanest cattle to slaughter there. I have seen plenty of bullocks out in Montana that they would be proud to exhibit as prize-cattle in the Eastern States. The trail we followod after leaving Fort Reno, on Fowder river, was "Boseman's Cut-off," a much shorter route to Virginia City, Montana, than crossing buinn s Ferry, way down on the South Platte river in Ne braska, and going by the way of Salt Lake, This portion of the oountry from Powder river, Clear Fork and Tongue rivers, and along the Yellowstone, is in the very heart of the Indian hunting ground, and might justly be called the "garden spot" of Montana Sometimes in the early morning we would start ahead of our wagon tram several miles, and in these truly beautiful valleys whole herds of wild antelopes, buffaloes, and jaok rabbits could be seen in large numbers. Oar boys would get tremendously excited Bouie times at seeing so much wild game, aud I own myself that I was similarly affected in seeing the living reality of what before I had only read about. The inducements in this section for grazing cattle are indeed magoid cent. The Gallatin valley is the best settled por tion of Montana, and contains numerous ranches. This, indeed, is a fine, noble vl ley, some thirty miles wide, with ranges of high mountains either side, and one feels in truth as though he were indeed in "Nature's free domains" when he enters it. What grows and ripens to perfection here, the grains being unusually large and sound. The crops yield heavily to the ranchmen. Occa sionally, however, in certain seasons the grasshoppers are very destructive. I saw twj splendid dairies in full operation in this val ley; the butter, which I ate of freely on warm biscuit (the first square meal sinoe I left Omaha u4he spriog), was most delicious in flavor and gclden in color. It brought Home, times as high as two dollars in go d dust per pound when sent to Virginia City, and was quickly disposed of there. I particularly noticed the complete system of irrigating this valley by extensive ditching and conveying water clear from the moun tains in wooden trough flumes, supported on high trestles a work of immeuso Ubor for the few men who originally engaged in tn enterprise. If they ever construct a railroad through this wild couutry, what a place will they make of this Gallatin valley! Probably it may be done some of these days; who knows? The quartz region, a few miles from Vir ginia City, is most atiundaut ia sureiulioi tions of the precious metal gold. To qu He Tom Hood: 'Gold, gold! hard and jello, bright and cold, (Spumed by the young, but hugged .y me oi l." The number of miners' "stake claims" are very thick here; they consist of rough pieoos of hnnrris, with the pam of th rUim-to. location, turn bcaxuiga gouoraliy vi tue lode. I raw many claims where extensive oxcava- ! tim s bad been made, but were abandoned on an onnt of the want of machinery, and the c-t and trouble of bringing it there. The uera of many of these valuable claims are idy like "Micawber," waiting for something io turn np," when they will go to work again earnestly. If ever the shrill whistle of a locomotive is heard in these mountains, what an Eldorado this place will be! I als saw several specimens or tin blos som, something tbat I believe has never yet ben discovered in thin conutry, with the exception of the State of Missouri, where I have beard it has also been traced. The United States Government, I have been told, offers a large bounty to tbe disooverer of a tin mine. There is pleuty of gold in this Teriitory. The great difficulty is the means to work it. It takes a whole season sometimes to get tbe heavy boilers, etc., np and down these steep hills of Montana on a pair of old truck wheels drawn by oxen slow, hard work, I can assure yon. Along the Yellow stone country all the numerous mountain streams that empty into this river, com mencing with Powder river. Tongue, Big Horn, Pryor, Clark'B, and llocky Forks, our boys would frequently try their luck in "pan ning out, and we always found little pieces of gold in our frying-pans after "cloaning up." there was one sweet spot in this Territory we passed just before reaching "Virginia City," which let me give you a pijture of. At the crossing of the "Madison River Ford" (which, with the Gallatin and Jefferson are the sources of the Missouri aud are oallod its three forks), I was delighted with the exquisite beauty of the scenery around us. Im aine a broad, smooth stream of water, about one hundred yards wide, coming through the canon of two high mountains that loomed np like two giant sentinels over the peace and securit of this lonely place, covered with a thick coating of little cedar trees; while below, in a Rmall basin-like valley in the shape of a horse shoe, with the smoke coming out in the clear blue air, wus a suug log cabin, iuhabited by an old mountaineer ferryman, who crossed tbe tenms in his rough Cottonwood boat for tbe price of two bits (fifty cents, gold dust), and yon have before you only one of the very many interesting sights to be seen in the noble Teriitory of Montana.
