Probably the meut remarkable escape from death on record-i lu Aiska was that of F. X. King and bis partner, N. P. Pe- terson, who rau the Nugget roadhouse, across the Nome river divide. These people have. la addition ta their road- house duties, been prospecting on Home-' stake Creek a-t the base of thîe Saw- tooth Mountains. Ou the mo*Iing of Ma-y 30, they start- ed for their customary prospecting, when they were surprised te uee the tracks of a monster pir of bears, different f rom a-ny they had ever seen before. After a tedious "mush"' of several miles they encountered a grizzly, the largest of the bear fa-mily and the most ferocious ani- mal in the world. Pelerson fired a-ad the bullet struck, but net in a vital spot; and with a growl of rage and pain the w9unded bear sprang over thé eliffs and' rolled almost te the bettom, some three hundred feet below, where shé regained her equiilbrium a-ad vanished amoag the rocks. Cha-grined at bis failure,Peterson turn- ed, and wa-s. horrifled a-t seeing another large grizzly about twice the size of the other, spring lipen his partrner, Mr. King, a-nd was more horrifled when he remem- bered that his was lhe oalv availabie gun, and au the magazine w-as eut of re- pair could only be reioaded by removiag the empty sheil by ha~nd. The bear had spruag art his foc, 1I't King' Fith the lia- bitual presence cf mmnd inherent la the ba-ckwoods liunter, thrust bis wea-pan In- te the fa-ce of bis assailant. la the txvinakling cf an ex-e the bear ha9d grasp- ed the muzzle cf the gun in his teeth an.dtva-s crunching- the gun barrel like s0 much wood. Tow-criag two f eet hi- er than King, the latter realized that lthe only hope for lîim xvas te pull the trig- ger and ma-vbe stop the beast until tbey procured saýfetv la flight. A ioud re- port anad the bear gat'e a spring high iii the air and feu tu te ground. The men beat a quick retreat. and af' ter coveriag considerablo grouid, turned, and w'ere surpriscd te sec the bear wa-s stililyiag on thespot w-heres-it had fa-lI- en. Thcy waited for a few minuN6, in the mnea-atime reioading the rifle, the sholg-un being broken at the stock in the meuth of the bcar. Afier throwing scu- eral rocks a-t a safe distance they yen- tured further, and, uiareai a-ad marvel- lotis as iL ma-y sea, thcy fouad the bear stone dcad. Upon finding the heair w-as kilicd, the men tuent back for a sied, and after scu- cral heurs mnanagcd te get the bear to te bottom cof the cliff, w'here they load- ed iL on the sicd, after disenubowclling il. They teck it te the N-nugget road- bouise, and then started for Nome with aine strong dogs te drax the heavv load.
