Two MIGHTY HUNTERS. The othel

Two MIGHTY HUNTERS. The othel
day, Marshal Cummings and Constable
Higgins, of Gold Hill, organized them
selves into 4 hunting expedition and
started u en- rsas,e, p~rofusely supplied
with powder, shot, balls, guns, pistols,
knives, and other warlike implements,
in order to slaughter what wild game
they might encounter down about the
Mound House, On the Carson road, char.
tering u wood-wagon to take them down
there, and haul them and their game
back. Arrived N the hunting ground,
they ranged about for some time with
blood in their eye, but without success;
for although bear, deer, wild bears aud
Hckass rabbits ran before them and all
around and among them with the mos,
perfect looseness, they fred away most
all Of their ammunition without hitting
a thing. At length they came upon a
little, sick cotton-tailed rabbit, stuck
fast in the snow. Bang! bang! went
their guns. How they did pile the shot
into his rapacious little carcass. By a
iudicious flank movement, Cummings
bravely surrounded him, and even when
the ~cotton-tail whirled and looked at
him fiercely, he showed no sign Of fear.
They fred the balance Of their ammuni-
ton into him, when, becoming satisfied
that he was dead, they went and gath
cred him up. In dressing him they
shook out over II pound Of shot from
amongst his mixedn remais. They are
no Horntowners. They eat rabbit,
they do. No horse meat for them, ii
you please. Cummings has sent a quar-
ter Of the animal to George Downey, in
order that tho aforesaid eminent manda-
rian MAJ feast also. C~otton-tail goes.
ExcsLsloR-Uu,il within the past
week the weather in Excelsior District
has been very cold Indeed. The snow
is from fifteen to twenty feet deep, and
the only communication between
Meadow Lake and the uatside world Is
by means of snow shoes. There are
only some thirty or forty persons now
stoppjnc in the town of Meadow Lake,
everybody else having sought a more
genial cline to winter in. None OF the
mining companies in the District are
doing anything at present, except the
Entcrprise, and Mohawk & Montreal
companies. Both Of these companies
are working their mines vigorously,
and levying assessments nil the time:
Each has a mill completed, which will
soon be grinding out bullion from the
ore. Their prospects are good LOT
brilliant success during the coming
season.
