FIGHTI CHIHUAHUA TIGERS. A Banter ofan Brenna; Adventure in the naunulus. Paul Gillett Is an old Indian trader and hunter of Yuma. For fifty years he has been a conspicuous figure in the Colorado and Gills River districts. He has naken part in a number of severe brushes with the Apaches and other tribes, but in his old age, owing to the military forces on the frontier anl the lessening of Indian difiisulties, he is now devoting more attention to hunting. Bis eye is ye: uudimmed, and though now nearly 70 years of age, he is strong and stalwart . It would take a book to tell of his varied experiences. Moreover, he is inclined not to talk much of himself. How- ever, the other day he consented to tell the newspaper representative of a strange experience he had with royal Chi- huahua tigers. as an animal of which noth- ing is known quite so far north as San Fran- clsco. “ You must know," said he. “ that these tigers are the most beautiful animals in America. They are robust and seven or eight feet long, a beautiful golden color and spotted like a loop ird. The royal tiger of Bengal is striped and has no dots on him. Moreover his general color is dun, and not gold, like the tiger of the Aztec races. A throughgoing cat in all his movements, sly and light of tread, and with strength of a Hercules ; a man cannot afi'ord to fool round much when he meets one out under THE SOUTHERN PINION TREES. It was in September that myself Tim Estabrook and John Wilkinson were comp ed at our mines at the head of Dolores canon. A party of Mexicans came in and reported that they had found an old Spanish mine a few miles out. The S anish mines were to a large extent covers cvsr and. conceal ed at the time of the revolution and many of them were lost. lb was one of those lost mines that the Mexicans say they had. We set off after it, carrying our express rifles with us, for we never in that section go out unarmed, for fear of renegade Apaches, let alone vicion- wild animals. After an eighteen-mile jaunt we came to the entrance of the mine. The earth covering had fallen in, and though wrec k and ruin were all around, there was a good- sizrd aperture, and we had no difficulty in entering it. We had advanced about fifty yards in the long, deslote tunnel, and if there is anything desolate in this world it is the dark, damp tunnel of a deserted mine. We carried inc faggots in the hand to give us light, an were moving along in a steep- ing store, as miners go, when all of a sud- den notcied great big tracks in the soft mud at the bottom. ‘ Good heavens l’ said I, ‘ there are bears in here, and if we don't get out we are done for.’ We beat a hasty retreat, and reaching the open air again gathered dry bushes and sticks to smoke them out. We staked them up pretty high in the mouth of the tunnel, and threw dirt on them to cause them to smoldor and throw the smoke backward. TEEN WE SAT DOWN with our guns to await the enemy. We had sat there fifteen or twenty minutes, and were tired of holding our guns so long, and began to talk about other things. Still'neth- ing came. We discussed a variety of sub- jects ; our attention became entirely relax- ed, and I was in the midst of a story, when boob l bcohl a great golden tiger leaped over the fire and us with a great bound. In a thnking another, with the same boch l boob l and bigger than the other, leaped the barrier, collided against Estabrook, knocked him down and went flying beyond like a greased streak of lightning. Every last one of us forgot his gun, and went rac- ing around trying to find trees to climb. An old she tiger and two kittens, with piercing bowls, next followed, and went clambering up the hillside after the other two. By this time every one of us was either perched in a tree or shinning up a sapling. Our guns were lying scattered on the ground, and, old hunters as we were, we were clear- ly beaten. Perched in our trees, after our fri ht was over, We indulged in loud shrieks an laughter. The situation was too ludicr- ous. But we resolved to get after these tigers and we did it We got a skilled Mexican trailer to go with us, and we trac- ed them across gulches, through shrubs/and finally caught a glimpse of one perched in a rocky cleft. Wilkinson brought him down by a shot in the heart. He was a very fine one, large and powerful, and with a mag- nificent skin. is'ro THE xsxr CANON traced the 0th ertigers. They traveled al~ most together, going only fifteen or twenty feet apart in places. The Mexican at last corraled them in a soft limestone mountain, crumbling in places like chalk, and with holes in one side made by weather and ani- mals. It was their other retreat. This time, while we made preparations to smoke them out, we stationed ourselves 100 yards away, spread far apartso we couli get a good aim at their bodies while they ran. The first came bounding out like a shot out of a gun, but we were on the alert this time, ' and three bullets pierced him and laid him low. Then the old one and her young came along. We shot into them, wounding the big one, and she turned on us. Estabrook was caught and his coat torn off. Turning to flee, Till-2 TIGER CAl'GHT Hill by the left hand and'put her teeth through it and crushed it. he kittens, weighing about 100 pounds apiece. would not run. and advanced to aid in the fight. A rifle ball from one of us crippled one and laid the other low, and on we rushed. firing all the while. to the aid of Estsbrcok. Some say we missed the brute. We had to fire with the greatest care to keep from hitting the hunter. and it seemed to me it was fully five minutes before we planted a fatal hall in her. “ Estabrook was so badly maimed by the teeth of the t or that he has never recovered from it. His andwassc torn that two of his fingers hung by shreds of flesh, and his arm above the wrist was also laces-sited. This was the closest cailI ever had with any wild animals.

It seems somewhat strange that the work of spreading Christianity in J apau has been left by the Churches and missionary socie- ties of Europe almost entirely to those of this continent. While the former are work- ing energetically in China and India they have less than 60 missionaries in Japan, whereas the United States and Canada have 386 there. The Scotch Presbyterians, the Eu lish Biptists, three Church of England socI‘etles and a German Swiss society are the only European organiz itions having labour- ers in this field, while twenty American moieties are represented in it. It may be that this is due to the fact that America was the first to take advantage of the open- ing of the Mikado's empire to Western Com- merce and civilization. It is just thirty years since the Presbyterian. Dutch Reform- ed. and Protestant Episcopal Churches of the United States instituted the first mis- sions to Japan. In the following the Baptist Union also entered the which was exclusively occupied by four organizations until 1869, the American Board (Congregational) eld, j lined them. Since then other as we have said, of the twenty-six Protest- ant missions new in the field. twenty are American, including two Canadian. Among the latest arrivals from the United States are the missionaries of the Society of Friends, who were sent out in 1885. and one sent by the Unitarians in 1887. Of late the work isfactorily. A report for the year 1888, pro- ared by the agent of the American Bible Society in J span, shown that there were at the end of 'that year 249 organ’z ld churches in the country, 25 514 members, 9,698 scholars in the day and boarding schOcls, 287 theological students, and 142 native ministers. Nearly 7,000 converts were bap- tized during the membership ever that of the previous year was about thirty per cent., while the con- tributlons- of native Christians increased more than fifty per cent.
