RANCHER IN QUEST OF SMALL
PORKERS RUNS INTO COUGARS;
RETREATS; LOSS, FIFTEEN PIGS

Gold Hill, Ore, oct. 2S.-When
Tom Dungey, a rancher residing on
Calls creek. near this city, went into
the woodland pasture Thursday af-
ternoon to discover the whereabouts
of a drove of small pigs which had
strayed from the barnyard, he met
with an experience that recalls to the
old pioneers of the section those days
when the rifle was as much an imple-
ment of the well ordered farm as a
three tine fork.
Mr. Dungey expected to find the
missing porkers by the simple eXpedi-
ent of following the mother sows,
which were returning to the wood
after visiting the barnyard. At a
short distance from the house his
grunting monitors suddenly ceased
the quest for their offspring and fled
to the rear with loud "woofs'' Of
alarm.
Not perceiving any cause for their
flight. Mr.. Dungey rebuked the de-
parting mothers, and took up the
quest alone. advancing to clump of
willows he fancied might screen the
missing pigs When but few PAGES
distant the brush became violently
agitated. and a female cougar sprang
forth. confronting the intruder with
barred teeth and lashing tail. Three
cunning little cougar kittens were at
the heels of their savage mother, and
the rancher beat a hasty retreat re-
alizing that the big cat intended to
charge.
Although the return to his ranch
to procure a gun occupied but short
while, the cougar and her offspring
made off in the meantime and search
OF the nearby timber failed to reveal
them.
The drove of pigs, afterwards
rounded up, had suffered loss of Is.

of prospectors to the Copper River
basin in 1898 has been carried on
spasmodically since that time. As a
result copper was found in the noun
tai east of Tarai dufing the first
summer, and the gold placers of
Bremner river were discovered a few
years later. No copper has yet been
produced in this district, according
to the geological survey but the fa-
cilities for transportation offered by
the Copper River & Northwestern
Railway during the last year have
stimulated interest in the develop
ment of copper properties so that
considerable prospecting has been
carried on.
One small stream, Golconda creek,
a tributary of Bremner river, has
yielded most of the gold so far pro-
duced in this district, although Little
Bremner river has contributed
part. Gold in commercial quantities
has not been found near Taral nor
between the Chitina and the Brem-
ner in Hanagita Valley. The total
production of the district is not
known but several thousand dollars
worth of gold has been produced each
year since mining began. The very
high cost of supplies and difficulty
OF access have done much to discour-
age prospectors.
All the gold SO far produced in the
Bremner river valley has been OBJ
tanned from stream gravels. This
valley is practically unprospected. so
far as lode deposits are concerned.
The three parts of the valley present
or prospective Importance because of
known placer-gold deposits are Col
conda Creek, Little Bremner river,
and the lower part of Bremner above
the Little Bremner.
The report briefly describes the
geology of the region so far as known
and the prospects for the develop
ment of gold in the Bremner river
valley, on Golconda creek and on Lit
tie Bremner river; it also discusses
the character of the copper deposits
in the mountains between Canyon
Creek and Chitina river.

services conducted by the Sunday
school. After the organ voluntary
Rev Tolbert F. Weaver, who pre-
sided. made remarks which were fol-

titled The Christian Flag" sung to
the tune of America. Short talks
were then made by c. NJ Hogue, su-
perintendent of the home department
and by Mr.. Weaver, who has been
acting temporarily as superintendent
The main part of the program was
made up of songs. music and drills,
all of which brought forth much ap-
plause. One of the numbers was a
duet by two little tots. Elbertha Chat
am and Elizabeth Fergus. Their
voices blended perfectly and their
words were pronounced distinctly. In
the last chorus the primary class
chimed in beautifully. Another num-
ber of special interest was a con-
quest drill and the ministry of sea-
sons. The children in the former
carried banners with the inscription,
I'm This Sign Conquer"
Lester Reetz gave an address on

tanning violin and piano duet was
rendered by Prof. Schafer and Miss
Ethel Freeman.

Miss Daisy Mcpherson, Miss Alice

Miss Stella Hogue, and Mrs. De

and trained the children, are to be
congratulated for their services. The
pastor said he had never seen com
mittee that worked more faithfully.

Higher Bench Than Now Exists.
London.-A supreme court of ap

will soon be established.
From speeches he recently made it
is believed the lord chancellor will
introduce during the present session
of parliament a bill establishing ju-
dicial committee of the privy coun-
Gil as the highest court. to which
may be carried a suit from any part
of the imperial dominions.
Lord Haldane believes such a meas
ure will command the support of the
dominions as well as the United
Kingdom.
Two selected judges will be added
to the lords of appeal, and there will
then be six law lords devoting their
whole time to sitting in two courts.
The conditions and methods of ap-
peal from different parts of the en-
pire will be suited as far as practi-
cable to the local requirements, as
complete uniformity in these respects
Is not attainable at present.
