A 1hree-COrnered Combat

You win see by the map that the Sal
mon River Of Idaho has its rise in the sal
mon River Mountains. Two small creeks,
meeting at the north end Of the noun
tains, form the Salmon, but it is not
much Of stream until it receives Wild
Cat, Bitter Sweet and other creeks down
toward the Bitter Root Mountains.
l had iourncyed to the forks Of the
Upper Salmon with a band of hunters
and trappers, and, while they had spent
the winter in trapping for furs and belts,
had developed the fact that coal, mica,
slate, marble, copper, and other minerals
were to be had for the asking in the
mountains. Owing to the depth Of snow
and severity of the weather, | had not fin
ished my work Of prospecting when spring
came, while the trappcrs were ready to
abandon the exhausted field and move
east into the foothills Of the Bitter Root.
On the first day Of May was left alone.
| had a horse, two pack mules, a rifle,
two revolvers, and plenty of food and
ammunition As soon as the men left
me | pulled up stakes and moved around
to the east side Of the mountain, where
there was less wind and more sunshine.
Between the foothills and the mountain
was long, narrow, winding valley, vary
ing in with from ten to fifty feet. The
snow was just leaving this valley, and
the grass of last season had been preserved
in palatable shape for the horses.
Nothing of special interest occurred
until the 3D. Of June. On that morning,
while cooking breakfast, monster
grizzly, the first one seen during the win
ter, suddenly appeared within 200 feet of
