arrived in April 1885 with 950 soldiers, established a garrison at the station, and used it as his base for scouting operations.

A combined force of approximately 460 men built an elaborate series of entrenchments, converting the station into a fortified military encampment to protect the supplies. The troops left Humboldt in July 1885. The area was also the site of the first stagecoach robbery in Western Canada.
