When he fired the last shot the gun kicked him over, and he rolled about mile and a.half down the mountain side, and he would have been rolling yet had the incline continued. But he struck another mountain which was sloping another direction, his left knee striking first and laming him for a day or two. Billy said that engineer Craig of the boundary survey party paid him nine dollars for breaking the road down the mountain, eleven dollars for smashing hole where he struck the other mountain Tn which the survey party intend caching their supplies, and that he earned that $2l quicker than he could have made four passes with a
