TIMBER WOLVES
TREE TWO MEN
Maintain Their Vigil for
a Day and a
Half.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

VANCOUVER, B. C., Nov. 13.-Treed by
wolves for a day and a half was the re-
markable experience of two Vancouver
prospectors who have just arrived from
the north. The men were Francis John
stone and r. Rankin, who have been
working all summer in various places in
the north They came down from the in
terror and crossed over the channel to
Princess Royal Island. From the coast
they started packing supplies to mine
on the mountain and it was while car
rying fresh meat that they were attacked
and were forced to run for their lives
from the wolves.
There were a score of large timber
wolves in the pack, and the men had only
time to run to the foot of a tree and
swing up into its branches. The wolves
tore their packs to pieces and few min
utes later not a vestige of even the leather
straps remained. The men shouted at the
brutes and tried all kinds of ruses to
scare them away, but the animals only
sat on their launches or shifted their DO
sition from one side of the tree to the
other.
A snowstorm ragged for several hours
and a heavy wind followed, but the
wolves still kept up their vigil through
the night and the next day. Hungry and
tired as the men were they dared not
move. That morning, however, their en-
ployer at the camp started out to look for
them and finally rescued them, after
shooting a number of the wolves.

BL|TzEN SWAMP
To De DRAINED
Lair Of Wild Animals
Will Be Given Over
to Farming.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

REDDING, Nov. 13.-The French-Glenn
Livestock Company Of Glenn County cap
italists, of which F. C. Lusk of Chico is
the general manager, is working on a
dredger with which to dig ditch to
drain the great Bitten swamp in Ore
gon. The swamp, which has been the
habitation of wild beasts for ages, is a
wilderness of Harvey County. It is
twenty-five miles long by five to seven
miles broad, and when drained it is esti-
mated $4,000 acres of grazing and hay
company has 900 head of cattle, besides
many horses.
In it's present state Bitten swamp Is
valueleSS, save a hunting ground IT
contains more ducks, geese, swans and
pelicans, ornithologists say, than any
other spot of like area on the globe.
Myriads of birds arise whenever a gun
is fired. There are thousands Of acres of
absolutely impenetrable thickets, where
live huge bears and mountain lions that
prey on the deer and antelope that
abound in the open spots. The swamp is
rich in fossil remains of extinct beasts
showing that it has been inhabited by amt
mails for ages. Many specimens have been
dug up and carried away, and persons
acquainted with the locality say that the
draining of the swamp will disclose many
interesting fossils.
Fifty thousand dollars will be spent on
the work. The ditch Is to be dredeed
sixty feet wide by nine deep. 1t will fol-
low the course of the Bitten River for
thirty miles and empty into Malheur

Special Dispatch to The Call.

REDDING, Nov. 13.-Fire has swept
Cinnabar, Trinity County, off the map
Of the mining camp and plant nothing re-

and that is damaged. The loss will ap-
proXimate SIS, 900.
The fire occurred yesterday morning.
Meager news of it came to-day in let
ter from Superintendent ]. H. Porter.
The blaze started from the furnace.
Cinnabar was built about the noted AL
toona quicksilver mine. Several months
ago all work was stopped at the mine.
The ore had been extracted from the up
per workings and the lower levels could
not be worked until the water in them
was reduced, which process would prove
very expensive. A large number of men
had been employed and an extensive camp
maintained. In addition to the machinery
and the machine houses, tramway and
appurtenances, the Office buildings, board
ing-houses, bunkhouSes, residences, store,
blacksmith shop, saloon and other build
ings and their furnishings were destroyed.
There were only few persons at the
camp.
1t is difficult to arrive at the exact loss.
Seven years ago the property owned by
the company was insured for more than
$4,000 and was probably worth more than
$4,000. The improvements added since
that time will bring the loss up to at
least $4,000, and it may be considerably
more.
The Altoona has produced a fortune in
its time.

inspection. The companies are required

legislation does not contemplate trust

Old established banking interests resent
the increase of American financial fnflu-
