morning when Thompson was resting in a

Thompson saw big grizzly. Thompson
jumped back, and the bear waddled in and
gave evidence Of his satisfaction at the
prospect of a mail-carrier for a winters
least. He couldn't get out of the door, SO
Thompson jumped up, caught hold of q
crossbeam. and drew himself up. The bear
camped underneath and grinned indignant
iy, as though saying: "Well, old fellow,
you've got to drop down sooner or later

last the other"
Thompson sat j, out all that day and the
following night, There was no use in cry
ing for help, a none would be within hail
ing until spring. He could not Jump down
and fight the bear with his pocket-knife,
his only weapon, and altogether the case
looked pretty desperate for the old mail
carrier. His snow-shoes were leaning from
one end OF the cabin to thejwall at the other
end. and Thompson finally opened
his knife and dashed it with
his scarf, torn in strips, on one end of one
shoe, making a formidable lance of it.
While the bear camped under him he could
not use his lance, the cabin not being long
enough. Thompson at last got the animal
outside the door by tossing one of his
stockings ont, which the bear lunged out
to investigate. That got him far enough
to be prodded and Thompson prepared.
When the grizzly had shifted the bait it
turned round, facing the door. and found
itself within foot of Thompson's lance
point. The old mail-carrier only had
foot to draw back his lance, but he used ii
to good advantage, for carefully drawing it
back he gave it sudden lunge forward, the
knife entering the bears brain through one
Of its eyes.
When the exhausted mail-carrier reached
Yank's and told his story il was doubted,
although Thompson had a remarkable rep

liars OF the mountains. There, if you don't

INDIAN HUNTERS.
Piutes, Washoes and Diggers
Staying Deer and Fish in
California.

From the virycia Chronicle.
l.. +. MattesOn, a composition EMPLOYED
on the Stockton Herald, returned few
days ago from hunting expedition to the
Bear Valley regions. He reports that no
deer are now to be seen from Yves, Point
to Hermit Valley. In June last large
band of Washoe and Piute Indians came
over from Nevada and were Joined in Her
NIT Valley by delegation of D.ggers, who
raised the strength OF the party to fully six
hundred. All summer this army of red
men have been slaughtering deer and other
game and fish. They have camped III one
place until there was nothing more to kill
and then moved on a few miles with their
squaws and papOOse to a new hunting
ground. An idea of the havoc they have
worked is given by the fact that this season
they have already sold $500 deer skins.
Last year they sold 800. They have been
making an exterminating war against the
trout In places. Not content with HOOKS
and lines and spears, the red men have
sOap-rOOted the streams. The soap root is
mashed fine In stone mortars by sIuaws,
and poured into the water where
there is the least current. In a
few moments the half poisoned
fish rise to the surface, belly up, and are
gathered in with the hand Large fish if
placed Immediately in clear water will sur
vive dose of soap root, but the smaller
ones will not. Ii is said to be fatal all to
the spawn. BY the use of this root the
Indians have completely cleared San An
tone creek OF Trout. and another creek in
Hope Valley has suffered as badly. A great
many fish have also been killed at the mead
waters OF the Mokelumne. The Indians
speared and hooked so many fish at the
Blue lakes that the decrease is noticeable to
fisherman.
MIR. MsttesOn reports that fishing is still
good at the headwaters of the Stanislaus, in
the MOkelumne below Hermit Valley, and
elsewhere in the region not vet visited by
the redskins. The Indian forays are of
almost annual occurrence. Small as we'll
as large game disappear wherever the ma
rauders 60. They are no~ camped at West
Point and intend to remain there until
spring.
The roads In the mountains are in worse
condition than for many years past The
dust is very deep. The cause is the light
fall of snow last winter. In Bear valley,
which usually has about twenty feet, but
six feet fell last winter The fruit crop
from Bear mountain up to and beyond
Murphy's was killed by late frost which
nipped the trees just after they had BIOS
sOmed.
