"Heve taken run" is I'M extravagant
form Of expression, for there Is moi
much running between this place NC
Kinney's) and the Rubicon. A ROAD is
now open from the Lake to point
| westward six miles, over which pas
sergers are conveyed by wagon, and
at the terminus Of this road saddle
train takes the traveller over a rugged
trail and through a we'll shaded valley
| three miles and One-half TO the springs.
The road is not what the owner Of 4
young Dexter or Patchen would select
for working a promising troiter on-in
! fact ii is at this time better adapted TO
| breaking wagons or huggies than colt
| break!ng-but it answers present pur-
| poses. From the terminus Of the road,
, which will he extended mile further
! in few weeks, one has the privilege
of riding on horseback or walking to
the springs. If You ride "Chip." as
this noti>t did, he will step out of The
trail at the top of the hiIl and "a plain
~ as ever quadruped spoke since the
days Of Balsani. he will invite you to
dismount and lead him down the steep
and crooked trail. The travel thus far
to the springs is light, hut it will in
crease during the approaching months
"f August and September The curi-
tive properties of the Rubicon Springs
are we'll known, and those who have
once tried the waters will try them
again and recommend them to their
friends. Mrs. J. NJ. Keen has charge
Of the boarding and sleeping depart
ments, and she treats her guests we'll
and at reasonable prices.
HUNTING DEER AND KILLING A BEAR.
johnny Jensen. the boy of all work
at the springs, went out to kill deer |
on Wednesday last, selecting for the
scene Of the would-bp slaughter point I,
known as He'll Hole, seven miles north |
If the springs. Let me say here that |
that it is no place for sport or profit for /
the deer hunter. a gentleman in
formed me yesterday that At Loon Lake |
seventy men are at work building a
dam, and a majority of these men are
out every Sund ~ securing the wOrds
for deer. Last Fall party named
I.usk, who lives at Georgetown, hired
five Indians to kill deer, furnishing the
Indians with ammunition and paying
twenty-five cents for each deer skin |
The result was the slaughter of over
four hundred deer. But to return to
Johnny. He found no deer, hut he
found brown bear, into which he sent
three or four bullets from a As calibar
Ballard rife, of course killing Mrs.
Bruin. He secured the gall and liver,
being unable to pack the carcass. This
statement will he appreciated by those
who have hunted in this wild region.
On the following day Johnny went
back to the Hole, skinned the rank
animal and returned with the hide to
the springs. That bear skin, like the
Hamlet 0tfense, was rank and the smell.
