MIA, and the resolution was adopted,
aud the Government acquires the
groves.
Some months ago lumberman
bought an option on the ground for
the purpose of cutting down the big
trees and saving them into lumber.
A cry welt up in California from the
SHOWS of Mount Shasta to the orange
groves of Los Angeles, to save these
mammoths OF the forest. BY the eff
forts OF the women of California the
matter was brought before Congress
with the above result.
These are the "sequoia giganteas,
or redwoods that first gave California
her reputation for having the biggest
trees on earth. Through one of them
a Concord stage coach may be driven.
The stump of another, thirty feet Ill
diameter, is used as dancing pavil.
ion.
Redwoods like these tower up 200
feet without limb, aLd then burst
out into crown of foliage, rising 100
to 900 feet higher.
Some scientists say they are 1900
years old. Others insist that they
must be 5000 years old-older than
Christianity, older than the Mosaic
law.
These trees have outlived the natu-
raj age or cycle in which they be-
longed. The climate and surround
ings OF to-day are not congenial and
they are slowly dropping their limbs
and wearing away with age and
weather.
Some of these grooves of trees were
offered for sale recently ut ridicuously
low prices-S20 an acre for large
tracts that have in some places six OF

nEenr and Tor Bear."

Grizzly bears are becoming scarce
in California; still they are occasion
ally found in the mountains, and when
found, their great size and strength
make them formidable antagonists.
Experienced hunters fear them ac-
cordingly, while tie novice rashly
seeks an encounter. In Sketches OF
Life in the Golden State" Colonel
Albert S. Evans narrateS the rash ex-
plot Of an oversauguiue hunter.
A veuturesome Yankee came to
Santa Barbara some years ago, and
soon became m adept at throwing the
lasso. Hearing the Mexican cow
boys talk of lassoing the grizzly bear,
he decided to show them what ho
could do in that line if he ever got a
chance.
One day he came upon a grizzly Ia
a favorable locality. He threw the
lasso with skilful aim, and relned
back his trembling horse to give the
bear an astonisher, when the reata-
which is always attached to the pom =
mel of the saddIe-came up taut.
Judgei of .th1 mans astonishmert
when that bear quietly assumed a
sitting posture, took hold of the lasso,
and begau to draw it in hand over
hand!
The hapless descendant of the Pill
grim Fathers stuck 10 the horse aud
saddle until he saw the slack all drawn
in and the bear and horse coming
rapidly together Then, in q panic,
he descended and ran for tree,
abandoning the horse to its fate.
Two skilful men, operating from
opposite sides, can master bear and
choke him between them; but with
only one mau, one horse and one bear,
| IL il another story.

for he is liable to be bombarded with
cones, and as they are about the size
and weight of eggs, drop of several
hundred feet gives them surprising
force. But the real danger lies in the
limbs, which frequently fall, though
the tree may apparently have none to
spare.
In the Mariposa grove there are
standing 800 large sequoias-one for
every day in the year. This grove
was donated by Congress to Califor-
MIA in trust at the same time (lS6i)
aud by the same act as the Yosemite
Valley, and is managed by the same
board OF commissioners. A troop ef
cavalry guards the domain.

There was an incident in Lieutea-

dalia in the Apia hurricane which is
we'll worth recording. While the ship
was pounding on the beach. Carlin,
before he sought safety with the rest
in the rigging, was carried of his feet
by wave that broke over the poop

he managed to grasp the spanker out
haul with his right hand aal hung

swung him back and he crashed
through tue cabin skylight, still

Whining Envss TIM snt Contracts
as per pamphlet of Jan. 20, 1900. We
have abandoned all other properties offered
so far In favor of this splendid proposition
which we feel confident the joint board of
directors will at once avail themselves OF,
as the price and terms and the richness of
the mines make the offer such as will Sc
cure dividends to our shareholders in few
months.
These properties are located in the Re-
public Mining district, in Eastern Washing
ton, near the celebrated Republic camp,
which is by all odds the foremost mining
camp in the state of Washington. They
are as follows:
1.-The Drummar's Copper
Silver mine, now in full operation on the
Kettle river, Is miles south of the new min
ing camp of Columbia, and Grand Forks,
Just across the Canadian border and within
Is miles of the new extension of the Cana
dian Pacific railway, from which our COM
pany proposes to construct an electric rail-
way from Grand Forks, B. c., along the
valley of the Kettle to the town of Curlew,
and the Drummcr's mine, to the great min
ing camp of the Republic, a total distance
of 43 miles. That portion of the proposed
road from Curlew or the Drummer's mine
is only is miles. The grade is easy and
there are no engineering obstacles what
ever
2.-The Townsite of CuTlew,
near tho Drummer's mine, which is the
logical business center of the upper Republic
district containing 100 acres.
3.-Threa Good Water Fails
and splendid mill and smelter site con-
nected with each.
The townsite is one that commands the
gateway to Republic, both from Midway
and Grand Forks, B. C. 1t is monopoly
as far as townsite is concerned, as the In
dams have allotted lands on all sides of 1t,
which they will not be able to ALLEVIATE for
20 years. The three falls are close to Cur
lew and afford ample power.
BY comforting with the map one will see
that CuIleW Is SpIClloluiy iOCdtSu iOl q DIS
mining town and for largo smelter. To
the northwest is the great Tornado mining
country TO the northeast are Grand Forks,
and the great Kootenai mining country, as
well as the vast mining interests of the
American side, and to the south, only %
miles away are the town of Republic and
the great mines of that vicinity.
The ores of the Curlew district are almost
self-fluxing. An assay just made of some
of the ore from the crosscut now being
run on. the Drummer's property shows
the following values: l02-l0 per cent cop
per, $34.68; o4-l0 per cent lead, $5.o3; At
ounces silver, $3.50; total, $68.51. This,
of course, is better than the average, as we
claim only from $40 to $28 per ton for the
greater portion of our ledge. But smelter
on the ground could make $40 ore pay a
big profit. But one can see that ore carry
ing such percentage of copper, silver,
lead, with an abundance of lime and iron
on the same ground, makes the proposition
one of the best for smelter purposes.
These properties are a great bargain,
hence investors in our new N1inInu I'm.
vestment Contracts may expect early
dividends.
