KILLED BROWN BEAR
Dave Patterson and Bert Swarts
Are Young Braves.
HOW THE DEED WAS DONE
Swatted Bruin With Cant Hook and
Soaked Him With an Axe.
DIXIE, August 2, 1906.

DlAlC, mug uoc q, 4POO.
Thought. perhaps The Mining
News would like to have the first
sensational bear story in Idaho
this season, especially as the two
heroes in the fight are local cele-
brities in their specialties, namely
Dave Patterson, who never uses
anything but a timber Jacks
Peavy for a tooth pick, and Bert
Swarts, the noted logger from
the Salmon, who prefers a spring
LsAsrd to sleep on better than a
feather bed.
When the men arrived at the
dam site yesterday morning
where the ]. G. Lee Co. are
building the largest dam and
reservoir in the county for use at
the Crooked Creek placer mines,
a dangerous situation confronted
them, for they had builded better
than they knew for Bruin. In
clearing site for dam a space
over 200 feet long across the
creek bottom and about 40 feet
wide trees have been felled and
stumps dynamited in a dense for
est so that the brush and logs
, and stumps make pile high as
= a house across the whole dam
site. Under this brush, pile the
old he black bear that has terror
lied the prospectors and packers
of the Dixie mining district for
many seasons, and the one that
scared Ralph Middleton out of
two years growth the last time
he rode in from his visit to his
Hercules, camp, had located a
den, and moved out just long
enough to notify the boys the
claim was taken. Patterson had
stake No. l in his hand, and the
tSees being all in a horizontal
position, neither he or Swarts,
who had just whetted his axe, or
the bear, could find one to climb.
They were compelled for once to
s show their bravery and the pres
ence of the forest rangers, who
the instant the fight began hap
pened to be riding by, and who
in their official capacity must
necessarily make a report on the
occurrence, naturally inspired the
'ssAng men to greater valor.
Patterson's first blow on the
jaw with the Peavy, used Indian
club fashion, only reminded Bruin
that he had had no breakfast, but
side stepping he reached for the
heart in same manner be would a
rolling log, with spike end, throw
ing cant hook at same time to the
nose, drawing first blood and
staggering the bear ), towards
Swarts' corner who in his excite
ment (of terror was vainly try
ing to find which edge of the
double bladed axe he had been
honing. Providence, However,
, was on the side of the young
giant, and by a clever feint and
raising the blade high over his
head landed behind the left ear.
The, fight was over, the shortest
three-round go known to. the
sports of this wild country since

LEADAT THE PROFILE
Reported ChaS. Ellison Uncovered
a High Grade Ledge.
IN BIG CREEK DISTRICT
Big Body of Ore Which Probably Car
rfes Good Silver Values.

Word was received in this city
that Charles Ellison, who has
been working in the Profile camp
in the Big Creek district, has
made a strike of high grade lead
ore On his property in the imme-
diate vicinity of Profile Gap, says
the Lewiston Tribune. The ore
was encountered about $50 feet
east of the Crown King tunnel
and has created a sensation in the
camp. !, There is a big body of the
ore, which carries lead in large
quantities and presumably carries
good values in silver, but to what
extent has not yet been ascer-
tanned.
The mineral closely resembles
the Occur d'Alene ores and this
and the previous strikes seem to
verify the theory that the Occur
d'Alene ore zone extends through
the Big creek country. Some
samples of ore taken from the
Profile mine, adjoining the ground
Of the Ellison find, shows rich
values in lead and silver and car
ries some gold. The existence of
the Profile ore body, which is of
the same character as that of the
Ellison strike, has been known
for the past four years and is
supposed to be on the same lead.
No development work, however,
has been done on this property,
and the extent of the rich values
it carries is not known beyond the
tests made of the samples taken
from the surface of the claim, but
it is thought that it will be found
to be as rich as that discovered
by Mr.. Ellison.
The camp is well watered and
with plenty of timber available
and has an elevation of 800 feet
Lat ths point where the strike was
made, being an ideal tunnel prop
osition.
1t is stated that party OF east
ern mining capitalists will visit
the district in the near future tC
examine the property, About
ten or twelve miles of the wagor
road remains uncompleted from
the South Fork of the Salmon tt
Government creek and the min
erS in the Profile camp have
turned out in a body to finish the
work and are nov working neal
the mouth of Elk creek. Upor
the completion of the road, Mr.
Prior of the Pan-Idaho company
will at once install machinery a
his prOperty.
