The boys at Copperopolis had quite an
adventure. Il few days since, with mountain
lions. A short time after dark one evening,
while the party were preparing supper, they
heard an unusual noise near the cabin. and
going out to learn the cause, encountered a
band of mountain lions. Their dog, which
had preceded them, sprang among the I'M
welcome visitors. while the men retreatei
for their guns. The unfortunate cur lasted
only a few brief moments, as he was killed
outright ere the guns could be brought into
action. Two lions We're killed, and three
escaped. The dead lions fell within twenty
feet of the door, and the largest measured
over eight feet in length. This is the kind
of pastime our friend, G.. A. Kellogg, has to
break tile monotony of a miners lite in his
isolated home.
