MUST GO FAST
TO EVADE BEAR
The hunter who lays any
claim to the title has at least
one, and generally; more,
stories of how he outran an in
credibly large and ferocious
bear which was coming to
wards him with the speed of
an express train and was
only evaded by a desperate
dash which was a sort of com
bination of land and air-travel.
Such stories will, in the future,
be altogether out of place, for
the speed of the bear has been
accurately determined says
the Fairbanks News-Miner. To
speak in figures one must go at
the rate of 171 yards every
ten seconds to outrun a bear—
and that is nearly twice as fast,
as the speediest humnjn has
ever traveled the distance on
foot. In other words the speed
ometer of an auto showed a
speed of 35 miles an hour
while chasing a black bear
which, while frightened, was
neither ferocious nor hungry.
The bear was sighted out j
Chatanika recently, and upon
seeing the auto he started j
down the road, with the car
in pursuit. The hillsides were j
steep and the animal was not,
aware of the limitations of an
auto, for he trusted neither
the hills or the brush. Miles
went .by, and the bear knock
ed off his 35 miles per hour
with the regularity of a train.
Finally he made for the brush
and disappeared from sight.
Not many minutes after John
ny Longacre came along with
a truckload of men returning
from work ,and in the road
was the same bear, although
in an extremely weakened com";
dition. He patiently started off
again; the spirit was willing,
even eager, but the flesh was
incapable. The men shouted ; ;
the bear doggedly trotted
along; and he was given a
boost every few feet by the
bumpers. He stood the bump- j
ing about a mile, and then hit
again on the experiment of
going into the brush, and
was seen no more.
C. J. Meier, who for twenty
years operated a roadhouse
on the Richardson Highway, ;
is planning to develop a piacer
property 22 miles from the site 1 (
of his former roadhouse, which ;
burned down last year.
LOCAL NOTES'
A. R. Petews, of the B. C. Bo
nanza, company, arrived from.
Vancouver last week and will
spend some time in the dis
trict in connection with devel
opment operations on the
properties formerly known as

Work on the group is now
under way, with Harold John

Thomas. A. Marquam, Inde
pendent candidate for dele
gate to Congress, left on the
Bellingham after a short visit
spent in looking over the camp
and becoming acquainted with
local residents.
Judge Marquam will tour j
Alaska during coming weeks
in the interest of his candi-1
dacy and expects to visit Hy- j
der later, when the campaign 1
is actively under way.
The independent candidate
made a distinctly favorable
impression during his visit'
and will in all probability
receive a good share of i
local votes at the November
electio.n
Two crews of men are en
gaged in clearing the right of
way for the projected Salmon
River road extension from
Pish Creek to the cemetery,
ander the direction of J. H.

Texas Valley.
The Porter IdahQ pack train
has cleaned up the big pile of
high grade ore extracted dur
ing the winter and has been
laid off for a few days while
the entire mine crew is engag
ed in timbering the lower tun
nel. Ore shipments will be re
sumed as soon as as this work
is completed. About 30 tons of
ore are now on the beach
awaiting shipment. Ore ship
ments from the property are
now being sent to the
smelter at Trail, B. C. in car
load lots (40 tons) via the
Grand Trunk steamers. The
ore was formerly sent to the
Selby smelter. Managing di
rector Clay Porter has found,
however,, that returns from
Trail shipments include pay
ment for the zinc content, pen
alized at Selby; the duty on
lead sent into the United States
is saved, and the freight
costs are lower, thereby add
ing considerably to the profits.
