Alaska is not the only far away
country he has travelled and pros
pected. He has made several trips to
South America, and mined in Bolivia,
Brazil, Argentine, Peru, and Chile.
He went over some of the property
of the A. G. M. company long before
that corporation started investing in
Chile. He has crossed the South Am
erican continent making part of the
journey on horseback, part by boat,
and finishing up by train travel. 1t

waters of the LaPlata that he met up
with the exploration party headed by
Theodore Roosevelt, who was ac-
companied by his son, Kermit. The
meeting took place at Coruma, 1000
miles from the Atlantic seaboard.
According to Mr.. DeBuhr, South
America is one of the richest unde-
veloped mining countries in the
world. Gold placers on the Upper
Amazon were worked by the Portu-
gess and Spanish adyenturers $50
years ago. About the year 1899 the
city of Mattegrosse boosted of a popu-
lation of more than 10000 persons.
At the time Mr.. DeBuhr visited it,
the population consisted of rs colored
people, the offspring of former slaves.
Mr.. DeBuhr is characterized in sew
eral of Rex Beach's thrilling novels.
He became acquainted with Beach in
Alaska and while he is familiar with
the situations described and incidents
related in 'The Spoilers" being on
the ground at the time the incidents
occurred, he has never read the en-
tire story. 81 never was heavy on
reading he said, "but while I am
in the States l am going to avail my
self of the first opportunity to see
the film version. Beach was a great
fellow, a regular man. Before he
started writing he had the name of
being one of the best story tellers in
Alaska; and several of the boys used
to tell him that he would make a
name for himself as a writer. He
never seemed to consider it that way
at the time, but would laugh and
turn in to a card game, or some other
form of amusement. When his books
began to attract attention, it didn't
surprise me, as we always knew he
had it in him."

Ranger Brought Inn A
Big Grizzly Bear Alive
And AmazeS Hunters

Jack Selby, e. w. Ray, and jim
my McQuaid recently returned to
Livingston from a hunting trip to
the Glacier Park region. They
found the snow very deep and the
game plentiful. The best thing
they took home with them, how
ever, was a story which was relat-
ed by a ranger up in the high
mountains to Mr.. Selby. He said
that a short time previous some
tenderfeet from the east came in
there, wild to hunt bear.
Nothing else would do but bear
the bigger the better. Finally the
ranger told them that there was a
big one up at the top of the noun
tain, on a ledge-an immense silver
tip and as fierce and ugly as he was
big. Off went the eastern hunters
with their high-priced rifles. In a
little while they all came stringing
back on a high lope, guns thrown
away and bent only on getting back
the solid cabin.
81 abused them shamefully for
their cowardice," said the ranger
land then told them I would show
them what a real western hunter
was. So 1 packed my high-pow-
cred rifle along and started off up
the ridge. Honest, I didn't know
that old ~silvertip was half as big
as he proved to be, nor half as mean.
soon I was coming down the
trail, gun thrown away and putting
all steam into the race. AS I neared
the cabin there stood the tenderfeet,
watching my approach. l yelled out
to them as 1 got within hearing dis
lance, Now you cowardly loafers,
open the door, I'm bringing this bear
Down a~1iva.'"

w amted---Om Cows
Umsentimemtal, by A
Ramcher Who Wants
Milk, and Not Love

Some time e a prominent re-
sident of the Milestone community
bought a COW of the common gard
en- variety. That is to say, she pre-
ferred garden vegetables to hay
and grass, and consequently her
owner was given a lot of extra
trouble ~chaperoning bossy to and
from the pasture, and enticing her
away from the forbidden fruit of
the garden plots along the way.
Bossy became the mother of a
calf, which died at a very tender age,
and her owner congratulated himself
On the possession of a fine milk cow,
without the bother of a calf. 1t vas
not long, however, before bossy
yearned for something to take the
place of her departed offspring in
her maternal affections, and as the
owner was of a meek and mild dispo-
sition, she decided to adopt him.
The first intimation that he had
of her important decision was when
Bossy tried to comb his hair with her
tongue, while he was engaged in
milking n evening. He lodged
her thinking that she was aiming at a
fly, but when she repeated the car
ess, more successfully, accompany
ing the kiss with a maternal moo"
there was no mistaking her inten
lions.
When the milking was done, she
fopdly accompanied her owner to the
gate, and stood there lowing plain
lively after his departed figure. Dur
ing the night she managed to crawl
through fences reaching the house
yard. There she wandered restlessly
to and fro, calling occasionally in a
forforn and heartsick way, until she
had succeeded in waking up the en-
tire family. The man of the house
raised his window and SHE'D his shoes
at the bereaved mother, but he made
a strategic mistake in so doing, for
the animal, having located the room
in which the object of her affection
made the night miserable for
him as well as all the rest of the
by remaining under his win
dow until the gray of the dewy dawn,
yearningly "mooing" the hours away.

when we got to the station we
found the three stock tenders barri-
caded in the barn. The same party
Of Indians had attacked the cabin
and the men had retreated to the
stage barn, which was built to with
stand an attack. The Indians had
eaten what they wanted from the
cabin and had thrown the rest into
the snow.
"The last trouble l had with the
Indians was when I was on my ranch
in the early seventies, ten miles be-
low town on the river. 1 had a man
cutting wood a couple of miles be-
low the ranch. You could reach that
place by going around the point of
the bluff, or you could take a trail
down a rayine. The way of the ra-
vine was shorter than the other,
but it ran mostly through brush and
was hard to find.
"Just after dinner n day as my
wife was helping me hitch up the
team, I saw four bucks coming
around the point in their war paint
and feathers. 1 hastily tied the team
to the fence, and my wife ran for
the rifle and cartridge belt. I shout
ed to them in Indian jargon to come
no closer. They laughed and kept
coming. l dropped on my knee and

see him. They then started for me
on the run, wheeled, and away they
went down the river toward my hired
man.
"As rapidly as possible I stripped
the harness from my fastest horse,
and taking my rifle and that of the
hired man, mounted the animal and
started down the ravine on the dead
run. I reached there, of course, far
ahead of the Indians who had gone
around the bluff and we're taking

Indians I eve saw. AS they ran for
their lives we kept shooting near
them. They were in such a hurry
to get out of sight that one was

men were occasionally killed in the
