A FlsHA BEAR STORY.


The Elinore Bulletin is responsible
for the following account of big fisl
and bear encounter:
Seth Williams, the hunter, started
out last week for tho Smoky countr,
on business, switched off and ven
fishing at Reddish lake, and returned
to Rocky Bar on Tuesday afternoon
with large quantity of the fines,
fish ever brought to this or any Other
market. Two reddish that together
weighed ffty-seven pounds, were
sold to John T. Gilman of the AL.
turas Hotel, and attracted many Of
the curious to examine them and de.
eide what kind of fish they really
were.
When at the head of Skeleton
creek, on his way to the lake, Will.
iams had an experience which he re-
lated to the Bulletin as follows: He
had number of pack animals along
with him, with one standing horse in
the lead. All of sudden a pear
rushed upon the leader and knocked
the animal and pack to the ground.
The horse was frightened and the
bear kept chewing away for dear
life. Williams had his guns strapped
onto one of his pack horses, but still
possessed his trusty butcher knife
and six-shooter, but had only five
cartridges in the latter, having fred
one at grouse. He got down from
his horse, walked cautiously up to
bear and shot him with the five cart
ridges, one after the other. The
bear took no particular notice of the
interruption but proceeded calmly
with his se-chewing. Williams
then got trlfle mad and drawing his
butcher-knife, struck the bear three
or four times back of the shoulder,
causing the brute to get up and chase
himself out of the country as rapidly
as possible. The horse stood around
for a few seconds, paral yzed with
fear, until Williams chanced to
touch him, when he also thought it
was time to travel and took bee
line across the country, and he has
not stopped yet. A coffee pot, camp
kettle and other cooking utensils were
picked up along the route he had ta-
ken in his wild flight, but that is the
only trace so far found. Williams
hunted for hisA for nearly two days
and then gave up the search in dis
gust. Whether the horse jumped in
to the river and committed suicide or
fell over precipice and pushed the
precipice down on top of him no
one knows. Mr.. Williams is the
only one who came out of the affair
winner. He won the fight but lost
the horse with its pack.

Last Tuesday, while sinking the
artesian we'll, relic of prehistoric
times was unearthed at the depth oi
three hundred feet, in the shape Of
an image representing baby. It is
perfect in all its head, legs,
arms, etc. 1t is composed of baked
clay and was imbedded in sand and
clay with occasionally a fossil. A
wood fossil was found near it which
had been decayed upon one side and
filled with clay. The other side had
several rings showing that it came
from tree of about ten years growth.
This image is about two and one-half
inches long, and was formed with
considerable skill. This is case for
the study of paleontologists. At
what time Of the worlds history, and
by whom, was this piece of human
ingenuity, this evidence of ancient
civilization, formed? 1t evidently
belongs to the polished stone age,
but that the stone age of the Eastern
Continent was coevil with the stone
age of the Western Continent there
is no evidence. The supposition is
that civilization commenced upon the
Western Continent long before it did
on the Eastern Continent. The find
ing of the fossils mentioned above Is
proof that this country has at some
time been inhabited; that these plains
have been the abode of sentient be-
ings; that they have been covered
with forests, where the deer and the
horse had their homes, and the dusky
maiden went forth in the morning
singing songs as she plucked the wild
flower, or carrolled while extracting
the Tactic fluid from the risky bovine.
Will history repeat? After this CIV
ilization has been destroyed will
new and higher civilization spring in
to existence? Mr.. M. A. Kurtz has
the baby in his cabinet and he feels
as proud of it as the average dad
does of real live baby.

In the year 1889 there were in the
United States 2,184 murders. Per.
haps the word murder does not, in
its strict legal sense, apply to all oi
the cases, but they were all violent
and illegal killings. The record is
not bad one in proportion to popu.
latson, but what is bad is that there
were only 81 legal hangings and 144
lyhchings.

The Salt Lake Tribune pays this
tribute to Judge Clagett, the Ceur
dAlenc Demosthenes:
The Idaho constitutional convep-
ton has done well in the selection of
a president. Shrewd and fair, and
quick is Judge Clagett, and, more
over, he has fashion of stating a
proposition that leaves no doubt of
his meaning. When it comes to talk
ing, he is the best between the noun
tains, natural orator, that, since
boyhood, has given him full command
of enraptured audiences. Then he
has been in the desert for year or
two more than quarter of century,
and he knows not only the habits and
wants of the people, but also of this
peculiar region in which we dwell.
Then he is a finished lawyer, and
will take in the legal bearings of a
proposition at a glance. Finally, he
has courage sufficient for all emer-
gencies. He has every attribute neces-
sary to make HIM one of the best
presiding officers not only for Idaho,
but for any country. Had he gone
beyond the Sierras instead of ston-
ping on this side, his name would
have been as much of household
word all over the Union as it now is
in Nevada and Idaho. We congrat.
ulate the Idaho constitutional conven.
ton upon its selection of president.

ARCHIE CREEK LETTER,
TRIBUTARY OF PAYETrE,
july 2l. 1889.

July 81, 1889.
ED. WoRLD:-Since the middle OF
last month | have visited several OF
the mining claims of Boise county
and have also done some prospect
ing. I find that as rule the pay ore
lays deep, yet when l see such ore as
Meyers, Carr, Latferty, White and
others have it is impossible to think
that this is not one of the richest sill
yer districts in the northwest. | find
some very rich ore comes from the
Deadwood district. | also find that
the Buckeye lode, near Idaho, has
some very rich gold bearing ore, and
believe it is first -cass mine. When
| go into a mine like the Crown
Point and find four-foot ledge mill
ing from $50 to $50 per ton at a
depth of 200 feet, and such mine
as the Banner milling ore yielding
$5l5 to the ton at depth of 500
feet, verify it calls to mind a pre-
diction of my own twenty years ago,
as the time is close at hand when
cords of gold and silver bricks will
be shipped from this part of the Ell
dorado. / am we'll convinced that
these mountains are vastly rich and
inexhaustible in silver.
On our arrival at Banner we found
the people very courteous, kind and
generous, always willing to give any
information asked for, for which we
return thanks, hoping they may real
ize a complete and full reward for
their labors in these mountains.
The Silver Mountain mine 70 doubt
is very good one, but l think there
has been unnecessary work done, yet
l have no reason to doubt the vast
richness of the location.
AS to what l am doing deponent
saith not. A. G. LANGDoN.
