A Wild Man.

[Stockton Independent, Aug. 25th
On Saturday we met o gentleman
who lives on the west side of the
San Joaquin, about seven miles
west of HIPS Ferry, who made the
following statement: While IN the
Coast Range, about ten days ago,
hunting, he and his companion en-
camped on the side of a ravine near
the summit of the range. In the
morning they discovered smoke
lower down the ravine, and, upon
going out upon the side of the hill
to ascertain the origin Of it, they
discovered an object which puzzled
them to name, and as their curios-
ity became excited they orept care.
fully toward 1t, in order to satisfy
themselves what kind of an ami
NAL they had discovered. By
creeping upon the ground they
were able to approach within one
hundred yards, when, to their as
constituent, they found that the
object which they had approached
with the intention of shooting was
a man perfectly nude, but covered
from head to foot with most re-
markable growth of hair. The
hair upon his head and his beard
were very long, reaching
to his waist; while his
body, arms and limbs were
protected by the same natural COW
ering. Hoping to approach and
capture this strange being, they at
tempted to creep nearer; but he
took alarm and rapidly ran away,
jumping over the bushes in his
path like deer. The two gentle
men decided to remain and camp
in the same locality the second
night, and they were again reward
ed by sight of the strange being.
they were awakened in the night
by a sound resembling that caused
by striking flint upon steel and
upon advancing in the direction of
the sound they saw the same OBJ
ject, who appeared to be striking
two flint rocks together. On their
approach he again took alarm and
ran away. We have heard reports
of u wild man in that vicinity for
several years past, but the gentle
man who makes this statement is
the only one that we have ever
seen who vouohes for the truth OF
the report. The gentleman is we'll
known TO us, and he asserted that
he and his companion were willing
to make oath to the truth of the
statement.

A day or two ago o motherly-
looking woman of forty-fv enter
ed a Woodward avenue clothing
store, having mans linen duster
on her arm, and when approached
by a salesman, she said
"Some one in here sold this dust
er to my son yesterday
ayes, ma'am, sold it myself"
replied the clerk, as he looked at
the garment.
"Did you tell my son that this
duster could be worn either to a pic

BODIE.
Interesting letter From Hoa. Asa Ellis.

EDITOR HERALD: L left Carson
by stage on the l0th inst. for Bodie
and after keeping my seat sixteen
long, weary hours, 1 arrived at the
stage Office in Bodie, worn out,
dusty and sleepy. L met many old
acquaintance who have been here
some time and they all speak in
flattering terms of the place. Gen.
orally speaking, when you find
men in a mining camp dead broke
they curse the place with a ven-
geauce. Not 50 in Bodie, notwith-
standing there are great many
men in that condition. They all
appear to be hopeful and speak
in flatterlng terms Of the place
Buildings are being erected In
every portion of the town and the
steady tap, tap, of the hammer re.
minds the observer that there is
still one place in the State where
life is not entirely extinct. The
Bodie and Standard are two of the
leading mines, but there are sew
eral others that are taking out gooc
paying ore and are having il
worked at the Syndicate mill
There are thirty-six steam hoisting
works now in operation, opening
up as many claims, besides
| numerous other claims that are
being worked by other methods
The future of Bodle, to me, appears
very bright and prosperous. The
STANDARD and Bolivar owners are
preparing to build a thirty-stamT
mill shortly. The MONDAY owners
ore now erecting one Of that size,
They have at this time the materi.
al on the ground and the founda-
ton is being laid down. A gentle
| men by the name of Mater has
taken the contract at one hundred
| thousand dollars, the mill to be fin
ished in a workmanlike manner
with all the latest mprovements.
The following is a list of the
mines that have been and are now
being opened by steam hosting
works, and the number of men
employed by eaci: STANDARD mine

number in other mines of which
have given you no account.
Bodie is poorly supplied with
water, Notwithstanding water
can be obtained anywhere in Bodie
Flat at depth of from 20 to 80 feet.
A large msjority of the Bodieites
don't seem to care much about wa
ter. They supply its place with
whisky, which they say is more
healthful and just as cheap. Be-
sides, whisky won't freeze. That
alone would give it the preference.
The following are the wages paid
per day for mechanics and labor
ers: Brcklayers, 81; carpenters,
$5; miners, $4. Lumber is $55 per
M; hay $50 per ton and barley five
cents per pound. Hotels, restau-
rants, lodging houses, saloons,
blacksmith shops, barber shops,
fruit stands, etc, are In great abun-
dance.
Bodie is located in very pretty
valley extending north and south
between two mountains, distant
from each other about 400 yards
and about 600 feet in height. with
smooth, even surface easily trav-
eled over in vehicles. The mines
are located on the mountain east of
town and in full view. Bodie is
said to be $500 feet above the sea
level, which gives US at this season
of the year plenty of ice every
morning. From Bodie you have a
sweeping view of at least $50 miles
of the north side of the great Sierra
Nevada mountains, and at a dis
tance of 60 miles may be seen the
great Mammoth mine, situated al
most on the summit. BY going to
the top of the mountain east of Bo-
die one.half mile, you have fine
view of the great Mono Lake which
has been so well described by
Mark Twain. The town of Bodie is
about three-quarters of mile in
length and 700 yards in width and
is said to contain about 5000 inhab-
itants Qndians excepted). Bodie is
peculiar in one respect; there is not
tree or bush in sight larger than
sage bush, which makes the fuel
very high. Considering the hard
times, low wages and scarcity of
labor in other sections of the State,
[ consider it a good place for a
steady, industrious man to come
to. Time is precious. As new de-
velopments take place 1 will in
form you. Yours resp'y,
ASA ELLIS.

There is no nobler Office in the
world than to nobly, honestly,pure
ly entertain the people. To be
amused is to take the bitter drop of
gall out of the things of life.
Amusement takes away the sting
Of care and furnishes medicine
for the heart. 1t cures the miasma
of the mind, and the art of anus
ing men, women and children in
nocently is thing of which the

tertainment which can win the
elevated and the noble to smile de-
serves the respect and gratitude Of
every person; to make people
