Workers on the Missouri river bridge at Williston are finding Indian relics in their digging for the piers. A stone implement resembling a druggist’s pestle has been found about 20 feet below the surface of the river, and also the head of a large buffalo. A bone of some larger unknown animal has also been dug up.

20 feet is a long way down… it’s a reminder that people have been making homes on the prairie since long before Minot had its current name.
