Mininq Under Difficulties.

Commodore John Irving, formerly of
the c. p. r. fleet. and well known in
coast mining circles. says the British
Columbia Mining Exchange. is the
proud possessor of the Arctic Chief, a
valuable copper-gold property near
White Horse, Yukon Territory. The
captain is troubled. according to lat
est reports, by bears: an animal which
has been known before now to disturb
the peace of the mine operators. The
captains bears are four-legged ones,
however, and perhaps not as dangerous
as the biped variety. This is how the
White Horse Star tells the commo-
dore's tale of woe:
Early in the week lot of beef and
mutton was taken to the camp. and
rthe following night the cache was.
raided by bears and all the meat car
ried away. Captain Irving came to
town and took out another supply. The
bears did not consider it necessary to
carry off the second outfit, but one
fierce she-bear and her two cubs sim
ply took up their residence in the
cache and refused to be driven away.
Captain Irving made another trip to
town yesterday for more meat, but
when he returned to his camp he car
ried a Winchester rifle that shoots
bullets as big as billiard balls. II is
reported that Captain Irving and his
men have spent good part of the
week in trees"
