 Since writing the bear story the bears seem to have ppt their heads together and pooled issues, for they have descend ed upon us in countless numbers. Ooe man met four of then and killed three of them in one day, only to be rushed into camp by the fourth, and old white faced, shaggy-mained monster whose footprint measured 10 inches wide by IA inches long. Mr Case is a long-leg- ged 'Slim Jim" whose legs made bis flight successful, for we measured his strides and found them g feet, inches We'll, he got there first and "Old Bald Face" was outdone for once. He has treed one man since and run two others into camp and is still at large.
 Day before yesterday three women accompanied by 8 lad of IT years as- cended s mountain to gather flowers and were treed by bears, all of them re- maining in tree till near night when the bears departed. Afterwards the women yelled like mad. The bears, not used to such strange noises and so fine display of needle work, seem to have given them the right of way for they had no further trouble with them, but in running for their trees they had lost the trail and wandered aimlessly around until finally they waded stream nearly up to their waists and picked their way down to its mouth and found to their delight they were within 8 mile of camp which they reached about 6 o'clock at night. finding their husbands out hunting for them but who shortly came in glad enough that all was we'll. The women are not as anxious to gath CT wild flowers for they are busy em- ployed applying liniment to bruised sbins from shining up trees and re- pairing their trasseaus. and the lad says that it beats all the skirt dances he ever witnessed.
 One day last week while within five minutes walk of our camp on Wall St., three bears were quietly resting while we were picking whortleberries. Oae of our party had a dog who started up the bears and MT Bones shot one of them. the others swimming the river and getting away. The bears come down by the river to catch salmon and get berries which abound in these val leys and streams. and its fine sight to see old Bruin walking into the stream grasping the large red salmon and walking to shore, stand upon his hind feet, take the salm m and eat item while holding them in their claws, or If they have young ones with them, hand them to their offspring.
 Yesterday was on my claim about to pan out some gold and looking up saw a black bear within 90 feet tf ma. He SAW me at the same time and he lit out so quick couli Tot bring my rife to bear upon him before he was out of sight. So you see bears are as plentiful as toads after 8 shower.
