TEN DAYS IN A TREE.
With Nothing fut Chinese Medicines and
 tuir of Boots to Eat

ruir of Boots to Eat.
 A Chinese miner, who, with a com. panion, waS lost in the snow amid the rugged mountains of plumas county has been found, nearer dead than alive For ten days, says the oroville Mer. culy, he lived in n hollow tree, with nothing to cut but some Chinese med. icino and scraps of leather cut from his boots. When rescued by party of white miners his feet, from which he had cut the boots for food, were terri bly, frozen, and he wus so weak he could hardly move. Tho searchers could find no trace of his companion, who is cer- tain to have perished.
 There was large number of Chinese mining at Browns Hill. and February 25 two of the number left the camp to To to Ia Porte distance of sixteen miles tu procure some Chinese medi- cine, for the use of the members of the camp, Then the weather was good, and the two Chinese proceeded safely over the snow to La Porte, procured the medicine stayed over night and started back the next morning During their trip back on the 26tha suowstorm came up and thc Chinese became bewildered and hopelessly lost in the rough, noun tainous country They each had diff ferent ideas as Co which direction to take and finally quarreled and sep aratcd One of them had not gone far before he found q hollow tree, wherein he was somewhat sheltered from the storm He had matches with him and built small fire. and, crouciing over that, he lived for ten days When their companions did not return to Browns Hll the Chinese became alarmed and went to La Porte, where they ascer- taincd that they had been there and started back, Then the white men about Cascade and LumpiSiu were mo- tiGCd and search parties went out.
 The other day John Kitriek. while searching with a companion for the lost man, noticed smoke down in canyon. He went down there, and in a tree found che poor Chinese nearly dead. Leaving him there Mir Kitricll went for help, and the unfortunate man was taken e the settlement on sled
 His experience during those ten days had been fearful As the paugs of hun ger came upon him he took of his boots, parched them over the fire, and ate them and drank tue medicine When he found his boots were all gone and his feet frozen and he was so weak he could not stand he had given up all hope So grateful was he that when camp was reached he gave his rescuers fifty dollars in gold dust all that he had He will recover

In chant SO clear,
The day Is near
When summer sun no more shall cheer
Or bring thee glee.
Yet still eXult, as far from view
Thou mountest; though bright days be
few,
Far better prize
The summer skies
And lose them with sightless eyes
Ne'er see the blue.
Thy fate Is but the common one;
On every life the bounteous sun
Sometime hath shed
It's rosy red
Then sunk. and there have come instead
Dark days and dun.
