GPEEklESF DAVIS is CHAMPION
BEAR KILLER OF STATE.
Although Four Score Years of Age He
Still Enjoys Roaming the Forest
Has Over Two Hundred
Hides to His Credit.

Patten, Me.-GTeenleaf Davis, the
hermit of Shin pond has killed more
than 200 bears. Davis has held the
record for having killed the most
bears of any man in Maine for more
than 20 years, and though he is now
past so and lame and bent from
rheumatism, no season passes with
out adding from one to five bears to
his tally.
When | was young" says he, fat
bears were almost as thick along the
old growth beeches on the slopes of
Mount Katahdin as red squirrels are
today. In the fall, after the early
frosts loosened the beechnuts, | could
go out with an aged smooth-bore gun
and shoot two or three most any day.
Every fall father used to call US
boys and make up bear hunt to Sc
cure fresh bears meat for roasting
pieces all winter. Sometimes the
hunt lasted a week, and sometimes
longer, but we never quit until we
had put by the carcasses Of from six
to ten fat bears.
In the days when Tippecanoe ran
for president there was no railroad
track within 100 miles of where we
resided, and if anyone had told us
about Chicago dressed beef coming
through to Maine in refrigerator cars
we should have locked him up as in
sane.
The hindquarter OF a fat bear
which had fed on beechnuts, when
hung on spit, roasted before hard
wood fire and bastod in its own fat
until it was all shiny brown, made eat
ing that was good enough for the min
lister or the first seectman.
The kidney fat of the bears, which
was soft and oily like lard, was used
for frying doughnuts and for bread
shortening, while thhe harder belly
fat was run up into candles for fur
nishing light for the house
Il have eaten hundreds of brown
doughnuts that were fried in bears
grease. That grease today | could
sell to the druggists for five dollars a
quart.
las for the bearskins which we took
off, they were rubbed on the feshy
side with powdered alum and salt
and used for rugs and coverings for
beds and robes to be used when TAX
ing long rides in cold weather. No
body placed any value on the pelt of
a bear then, for it was the meat we
We're after, and as the skin had to
come off before we could get at the
flesh and fat, we considered the hairy
covering as a sort of by-product.

HAMILTON LEAD MINES.
Bamberger Property Has Taken First
Place in Shipping List.

The Ne illus Ultra mine, now included
IN the holdings of the White Pine Lead
company, promotion of the Bambergers,
of Salt Lake, has taken the lead as the
biggest lead shipper of the Hamilton dis
trict. After a long period of inactivity,
that company is making up for lost time,
and is bending every energy to get out as
much shipping ore as possible, says the
Ely Mining Expositor.
THE Ne Plus Ultra has several thou
sand sacks of ore on the Hamilton sum-
NIT said Louis ZadOw, head of the gro
Gerry department at the Graham Mercan-
tile cOmpany'S store, who, in company
with Miss Hattie Oidfield. has been Wis
iting with his parents at Hamilton, and
it is now the biggest shipper in Hamilton.
The mine is SO situated that by neglecting
Hamilton and hauling ore to the summit
it avoids heavy haul over another sum
NIT.
The AIcEllins are still sending out rich
lead ore from their mines near Hamilton.
but their shipments are smaller than those
of the Ne Plus Ultra. In hauling their
ore out they don't have to cross any sum
NIT near Hamilton"
According to Mr.. Zadow. the Rocco
HOmestake mine, which for years main
tanned Hamilton's reputation as the lead
Ing lead producing camp of White Pine
county, is not in active operation. For a
number of years this property made regu-
lar shipments to the SmelterS. the ore
averaging So per cent lead, but recently
very little work has been done on the
mine.
o. ]. Smith, a prominent attorney of
Reno, who is secretary of the corpora
ton, in his annual report stated that the
mine had been on the bum for the last
year. At present only two men are en-
ployed and no attempt is being made to
that this Is due to any lack of resources
| in the mine.

STOCK EXCHANGE FOR
SEVEN TR0UGHS, NEV.

Vernon will have a mining stock ex-
change. saws the Vernon Review.
This was unanimously decided on at an
enthusiastic meeting of the mining and
business men held last night at the Fenn-
Wahren hall. The new organization VIII
be known as the Seven Troughs Mining
Stock exchange of Vernon, and thirty-t1ve
names have thus far signed as charter
members,
George r. Hannah, who is member of
both the Goldfield and San Francisco eX-
changes, and who was largely instrument
tai in organizing the new exchange for
Vernon, presided at last nights meeting
In a few we'll chosen remarks Mr. Han
nan spoke of the future possibilities ana
success of the new organization and urged
the combined support OF all interested 10
attain these ends.
After the proposition had been discussed
pro and con a motion was made and unan-
imously carried that a permanent organi-
cation be effected at once and board OF
directors, consisting of nine members, was
chosen as follows: George r. Hannah, l.
A Friedman, c. II. EllethOrp, Judge
Egan, J. H. Manwaring, Judge Magill, NJ
NJ. GarOtte. Tom Kavanagh and W. r.
MOhler. After the selection of the board
of directors the meeting adjourned.
The directors met Immediately after the
adjournment of the regular meeting and
elected the following Officers: George r.
Hannah, president; Judge Egan, vice pres
ident;- Judge Maglll' treasurer, and j. h
Manwaring. secretary. The directors dis
cussed at length the plans for the future
welfare of the new exchange. The ap-
pointment of the different committees was
deferred until this evening, at which time
other important features will be brought
before the directors.
That the new organization will be a sue
cess is now an assured fact. The commit
tee consisting of DR.. Anderson, George
Hannah and Judge Egan, which had been
appointed to canvass the town to ascertain
the sentiment toward the organization OF
the exchange, reported that after a thor
ough discussion with the citizens the feel
ing was favorable and the time ripe for
action.

ready subscribed for seats as charter
members;

BIG STRIKE IN
THE CLYDE MINE
Big Ledge of Ore, Running 20
to 7 Per Cent Copper, Uncov-
cred by Accident.

Richfield, Sept. s.-J. T Gibbs, who was
on his way from Marysvale to Salt Lake
Friday, said: '"The best thing have seen
for many a day is the late strike at the
Clyde. 1t is surely a wonder" There is
exposed body of ledge matter from -
to % feet wide, carrying vein from six
to twelve feet in width. 1t will run from
20 to 20 per cent in copper.
Mr.. Gibbs says the discovery was made
by accident While the line of operation
would have cut il a little later on,
cave-down of the formation under the vein
left it standing out distinct and well de-
fined.
Isaac Jennings, who was running drift
from the bottom of the shaft to catch the
vein, which had bent from. its course. and
just as the upper portion of the opening
came in contact with il, the ground gave
way beneath it and left revealed this large
body of ore, one that would be admired by
anyone.
This strike is an important one for the
Marysvalc district; besides it is another
proof beyond any doubt that there exists
a large sulphide zone, zone of depth, of
peTmanence, of richness, declared Mr..
Gibbs. 1t has made a great property of
the Clyde, and gives an assurance of a
mineral kingdom. The strike is certainly
a big thing for Mr.. Jennings and q very
important one for the whole Gold Noun
tain section.
Mr.. Gibbs stated that the MarysvaIe
section looks more promising and hopeful
to him than it has ever looked. The in
dications are better and the development
work is beginning to bear its first fruit.
The Gold Development company, better
known as the Franklin holdings, have a
splendid property and are doing lot of
development work.

COAL MAY COME FROM
THE MILLBURN MINE

H. L. Thomas of Salt Lake has been
in Price this week making arrangements
with Henry Wade to procure regular
shipments Of coal from the old Millburn
mine to Salt Lake, says the Carbon
County News
If satisfactory contracts can be made
with local teamsters it is probable that
the mine Will be developed to a greater
tempted and that daily shipments Of three
carloads or more will be made to Salt
Lake within the next three months. Re
garding the plans so far as matured, Mr..
Wade said yesterday:
whether or not coal from the Mill
burn mine can be shipped to Salt Lake
depends almost entirely on the team
sters of Price. The situation is about
this way: We can find a ready market
for ten carloads of coal a day If we
can place 1t on the cars at Price at
So ton. In order to do this we can
offer teamsters S1.9o a ton for hauling
believe, is a higher rate than has been
paid before and at what we offer a man
with a good team can make one trip a
day, hauling 5000 to $500 pounds to a
load. This will insure the teamster an
income Of s415 to $ day. and he can
live at home and have the advantage
of feeding his team at less expense than
Will be necessary If he is away In camp.
In order to make these shipments to
Salt Lake 1t will be necessary to re-
ceive assurances that the coal will be
hauled from the mine at the rate of
Sl.90 per ton in order that we may get
returns for the extensive development
work that viii have TO be done on the
mine"
At present there is only one opening
to the Miliburn mine, but If the Salt
Lake contracts are taken several more
openings will be made. Mr.. Wade saws
from the openings, so that loading for
the teamsters will be easy.

PLACERING OPERATIONS
ON THE WILSON MISA

The mining outlook on the Wilson me-
sa is good, at present, says the Moab,
Grand county, Times. T. ButterWOod has
Just received one thousand feet of Ium-
Der with which he intends to build slucs
boxes and commence active work on the
Utah Placer claims.
Shafer & Bennett will also commence
placer mining in a few days. The DAYS
are also getting ready to produce the
yellow metal.
The Wilson Mesa Placer company, aft
er a thirty days trial. was thoroughly
satisfied with the results and stopped to
ship in lumber to make better gold
saving plant Although they saved about
two ounces of gold a day they found
they were losing a large per cent of
their values through not having Just the
right kind of a plant.
Webb & Boren are still working In a
small way and have just sent to the
mint in Denver another pound of the
yellow metal.
