a skeleton was left, which was found by
railroad section hands. Rodnan had been
aead several weeks. Coroner Secord held an
inquest and took charge Of the effects, which
consisted of a chain and the ark, which were
all sold for $3.50. George Emery was the
purchaser.
Not long after his purchase Emery began
to dress we'll and later took a trip East. Re-
Gently he returned and efforts were made to
learn how he had acquired so much wealth.
While In liquor last night at AIviso it was
drawn out Of him that there was a large
sum OF money in the ark. He exhibited a
$l,VD note in proof and said there was much
more.
Public administrator Secord asked today for
special letters Of administration Emery was
brought into court on a bench summons to tell
about the hermit's wealth. With much diff
Guilty 1t was learned that he got eighty $40
gold pieces and a United States note for
$l,O09. Emery said later that when leaving
Tor the East he gave a lady at Alviso an en-
VeioPe containing three treasury notes each
Tor $l.O0. He further says that when he
came back the envelope was returned to him.
but when he opened it there was nothing
inside. Emery said that after he went East
he heard that certain people got 81. zoe in
coin out OF the ark. Emery's story was con-
HlctlnS, put his statements on the stand and
on show that four 81 900 treasury notes were
found and coin to make a total Of $4,000.
Five years ago Rodman was known to have
had $4,000 in treasury notes in q bank in
San Francisco. He also had other means, and
much Of this may have been in the ark. The
district attorney viii sue to recover the prop
erty. and may institute criminal proceedings.
Shortly after the old man was found dead
last fall 1t was limited that there had been
foul play. The officers began work on the
case, but they found nothing tangible. Rod
man came to California forty wears ago and
had led a varied life. He was In the mines
for a time. He is known to have had money
when he came, and to have made money. He
led a frugal life and spent but little. 1t Is
possible that his hoard was much larger than
any one is aware OF.

With the bear family and did the first
thing that occurred to handicapped
his weapOn and sprinted for the near
est tree, about one hundred yards away
and growing on, the edge of a gulch
twelve or fifteen feet deep. The bear
stopped a few seconds to sniff at the
rifle and then, cOntemptuously tossing
it aside, continued the chase. The hunt
er reached the tree and had climbed
to the lower limb when his pursuer
reached it and, without any hesitation
commenced the ascent. This was some
thing that the amateur huntsman had
not calculated upon, and he at once
proceeded to climb higher, in the hope
that his antagonist might get tired
ard give up. The tree leaned somewhat
ONer the raVine, making the climbing
easy, but the fact favored the bear as
well, and when near the upper branches
he young fellow found to his dismay
that the bear was entirely too close for
comfort. At that moment, however,
his friend, who had recovered from his
fright and reloaded, shot the animal
through the head.
Now another danger manifested it
self. The combined weight of the man
and the bear had been too much for
the slender hold of the roots Of the
ttee upon the soil, and, as it leaned
further and further over the gulch,
it became evident that unless he could
scramble down the man would be
thrown upon the rocks at the bottom.
Clinging to one limb after another he
made desperate efforts to get down,
but before he had accomplished more
than half the distance the last root
gave away, and there seemed to be
nothing between him and death or ser
ious injury. His grip closed upon the
limb to which he was clinging and in
another m the top Of the tree
rested OF the bottom of the ravine,
while the thoroughly frightened man
dropped upon the carcass of the dead
bear. himself almost dead with fright.
But the strangest feature of the ad-
venture was that in falling over the
tree had removed the earth from a
vein Of rich quartz, the eXis-
tence of which a been entirely un-
suspected. Now the young man from

Lack Of a TenderfOOt.
Discovered a Gold Mine While Escaping From a Bear.

John B. Sargent. of San Francisco,
who has been in the KOotenai mining
districts for the past two months. tells
a remarkable story Of the way a ten
derfOOt from Montreal discovered a
gold mine in that far-away mining
region. The young man, who was a
clerk, was spending a few weeks with
a friend engaged in mining, pun
in his time fishing and hunting. The
location Of his friends cabin was far
up toward the headwaters of ore of
the tributaries of the Kootenai river,
far from n other p~rospector, and in
a section where the bears were not
only numerous, but inquisitive and
troublesome.
When both men were away from the
cabin 1t was necessary to carefully
close up all the openings, and the
bears had an unpleasant habit Of
climbing into the cabin. and. besides
getting away with all the provisions
in sight. played foe ball with the cook

Notes,

The International Studio Is a magazine
that viii unquestionably gain for itself a wide
circulation in America. 1t will be its own
best advertisement; to study 1T is to realize
with fresh force the need that we have always
felt for a magazine of this character-a need
which has now a remedy. The Studio, as
IS doubtless known to our readers, is an Eng
lish magazine of fine and applied art of es-
tabl1shed success. 1t easily leads the art
periodicals Of Great Britain and has had a
strong influence for the past four years on
~ matters pertaining to decoration. 1t is
thoroughly in sympathy with, the vital art
work of the various schools and represents
the continent rather than England alone. The
name has been changed to the International
Studio, and it is to be issued in this coun-
try with a supplement devoted to American
art news The March number fully realizes
our aaticipations; the illustrator, the de-
signer, the wood carver, the student and the
painter of pictures will every one realize the
Importance Of this new periodical, and the
amateur dn the words rightful meaning@,
will congratulate himself on Its easy acqui-
sition.

The career of President DiaZ. OF Mexico,
as sketched by Charles F. LummiS in Har-
per's Magazine for April, is perhaps the
most peTilous and romantic career Of the
century, and gives a ~frst-rate idea of what
political life in Mexico is like. More than
this, it is evidence that out of the turmoil OF
ambition and malice a man has risen who.
by sheer force of patriotism, Is able to mould
a country's institutions according to high
standards.
