A BEAR STORY THAT IS
GOOD IN EVERY WAY
ft! . —
if an ordinary reporter had the riglit
to use the “author's privilege" this
story might begin several ways ami
still lose none of its power. Hut he
has not. Newspaper ethics will not
^ permit it. That is, to stick strictly to
the newspaper style, many of the lit -
It expressions of interested parties
must be forgotten. What a man might
say or do, for instance, if while cook
ing a meal, a bear should suddenly
walk In the door cannot be printed
In a new story, and that is what this
is—a news story. Incidentally, and
wholly so, it is a bear story, says the
Fairbanks Times.
A bear is a funny animal. But so
is a man. A. Chisholm, well known in
Fairbanks, is the proprietor of the
Birch lake roadhouse. His partner is
Harry Simmons. Both are well ac
quainted in Fairbanks. Not long.since,
according to a recent arrival over the
trail, Mr. Chisholm was in the kitch
en of the roadhouse cooking a meal.
Someone walked into the room. Mr.
Chisholm bad his back to the door
and as he was busy over the stove
he did not turn around. He spoke
think it was his partner. (Setting no
answer, Mr. Chisholm turned around.
There beside him stood a lag black
bear. The bear at the time that Mr.
Chisholm first saw it was .as big as
an elephant, and since that time it
has grown larger with ouch telling.
Not being partial to bears, particularly
when they come into a man's kitchen
unsolicited, Mr. Chisholm jumped out
of a nearby window and ran to the
chicken coop nearby where he locked
himself in with the chickens. To this
day Mr. Chisholm has been unable to
explain what protection a chicken
would be against anything that wanted
to do the grizzley bear hug, but any
way he ran into the chicken coop and
sought refuge among the feathered
darling of Birch Lake.
Harry Simmons enters the story and
the kitchen at the same time. He sees
Mr. Bear, and fearing that the food
that Chisholm was cooking would not
kill the bear if the bear .ate it, Sim
mons goes for his gun, gets it, takes
deliberate aim and fires. The one :
shot “gets" the bear, and Mr. Sim
mons then goes out and gets his part
ner from among the chickens. j
Bear steak is on the menu now at
Birch Lake. Mr. Chisholm still insists
that it was either an elephant or some
thing larger and that the meat will
last the roadhouse for the next 22
year according to the size of the ani
mal, but Mr. Simmons insists that it
was just a young cub, and that the
steaks are as tender as the chickens
with whom Mr. Chisholm took refuge.
And chickens are so tender.
NEW METHOD OF WORKING
GROUND WILL BE TRIED
There is now at Fairbanks creek the
tirst underground shovel of the par
ticular design of the shovel that is
there ever used, says the Fairbanks
Times. It is a patented shovel and
was patented by .1. \V. Toole, the Fail
banks creek miner, who had the shovel
made and shipped in. With it he
shipped a large generator and motor.
The entire equipment reached Chena
on the Alaska and was loaded on the
cars there and hauled to Oilmore,
where it was taken over Ihe bill to
the mouth of Fairbanks creek. There
n will be put in operation by its de
signer and patentee.
The new shovel was worked out to
what seems to be a sueessful inven
tion by Mr. Toole. The shovel works
underground and will handle, accord
ing to t!i* estimates' 1,000 foot of bed
rock in .•..■only four hours. Mr. Toole
will work lour men on the claim. Con
servative estimates state that the
shovel will do the work of seven men
in eight hours.
Mr. Toole has great faith in his in
vention and will give it a practical test
as soon as it can be installed. Pre
liminary trials and theory show that
the invention is a good one. What
effect it will have on the placer mining
of this camp is hard to say. If il is
successful many of the shovel* will
dontldessly be installed in Ibis district.
Mr. Toole believes that they will be
successful, and there are many practi
cal miners who have seen them out
lined who agree with him.
