Marias

Now, see how nearly, even to-day, the Marias resembles the Missouri River.

Ophir was a new place located at the mouth of the Marias river, twelve miles below Fort Benton.

Here there were but few buffalo, and another move was made, still further south, to a stream running into the Marias River.

Marias voice was shrill now and in it there was a note of hopelessness.
