The great mining excitements of Car riboo and Frazier river led these adven turous spirits northward from Josephine, the majority of whom never returned. Their departure marked a new era in Josephine county. The ways of I he peo ple changed while the old sport* were no longer indulged in. One of those aban doned sports was the fighting of a griz zly bear with dogs. At Wahlo a man by the name of Bennett, the keeper of a hotel at that place, had a grizzly bear which weighed 500 pound*. Many of the gamest dogs of the country wouhl'iit go within catching distance of this parti cular bear. One dog, however, was an exception to thi* rule. He was a •-mall, red dog ami resembled the common cur, but no bull dog possessed better grit than little '‘Mont,” as he was called. Little Mont was well known to the s|*orting fraternity, as he had distin I guished himself in- hard-fought battle* and bad Whipped the biggest and fiercest dogs in the country. There was a great day at Wahlo and the miners and gam Jackson county, near here, the proprrts of H. E ami Levi Ankeny, and N. Cook of Portland. 1'. E Ankeny, of Jackson ville, is superintendent. It is believed that the output t>i the Sterling for the present season, despite tile abseil'«- of rain, will lit-close to $25,<)tlO. ami Ulas be even greater than that. This i» a pro duction of some 40 or 50 per cent on th- amount invested, and only a small crew is required to ojierate the property. Five tears ago the output of the Sterling was $<*>IN* i .
