A Startling Experience.


 "Shorty" Smith. tke boss packer of the Bradshaw noun ntains, while drying his pack train up the Del Pasco hill. had very exciting experience last week. Pat of the mules were loaded with Fruo concentration. One of the mules, the largest in the train, was loaded with the long side sills of the concentrator, one on each side, and when the train had gotten halt-way up the hill, and on the steepest part of the trail. the mule with the timbers gave a lunge sideways and landed about 100 feet down the hill, and lodged sus- pended in tho air between two esk trees about fifteen feet from the ground. How to get the mule down was the next question. But, like all great packers, "shorty" was equal to the emergency. He soon took in the situs- ton. rushed up to one of the mules that had some powder, fuse and caps in is pack, which he soon fixed SO as to ex- plode the powder and placed it in the hollow end of one of the trees. He touched match to the fuse. and yell d, "Get out ef the roadp' and when the shot went off, and the smoke had clear ed away, "Shorty" looked around and saw Old Tom (the mulel with his load all on walking up the hill to the rest of the train, and not & scratch on him. This is nothing unusual with this train, co "Shorty" says.
