He and his neighbors, frequently catch them that weigh five and six pounds. They use a very large hook. A TRIP TO GLASS MOUNTAIN We took a trip to Glass mountain last week and took along as guides, cooks and aids - de camp, Lava Jack, Mr. Herndon, Dutch Pete, and Doc. They said we would have a fine time camping out and inhaling the ozone from the pines. We will give a sketch of our trip and at some future time tell your readers about the wonders of that country, once made famous by being Captain Jack's stronghold. The first day out we lunched at Lava Lake. We spent the night at Quaking Asp springs. After a hearty supper, prepared by Dutch Pete, whose reputation is already famous as a cook, Mr. Herndon kicked Sada out of the way, and prepared to make bed. It might be well to tell who Sada is. He is a long-eared black dog hound. We suggest that the name be changed to suit the sex. We had two other curs, but they did not get as hungry as Sada. Mr. Herndon made bed on some clean dust and we laid down among the falsetto voices of the mosquitoes and the noiseless creeping of the long and short ants. About midnight two dogs rolled up in a hoop and came rolling our way - fighting - and landed on top of our beds. We got up - got mad and tried to kill the dogs, but we did not. Next day, we made dry camp on Black Mountain and in the evening, Herndon went a short distance and brought us a sack of water from where the snow is ten feet deep. This night we had two dogfights; in fact this seemed to be necessary every night. Next day, we took in the mountain of glass. As we gazed upon this magnificent elevation before us, we stood in a state of perfect enchantment as that imperial orb rode up the eastern sky and flung its splendor upon this majestic mountain of glass, which rose like battlements before us. On its serrated summit are large spires and columns of glass, from ten to fifteen feet high. There is also a lake of water on its top, but no soil or vegetation whatever. A person can view from its summit Tule Lake, Dry Lake and Clear Lake. The rest of the stay, we will leave for some other time. THURSDAY, JUNE 17, 1897 Samuel Watson arrived here Tuesday evening from Anderson, called here by the sickness of his brother, David Watson. BORN DURFEE - In Bieber, Cal., Monday, June 14th, 1897, to the wife of T. J. Durfee, a daughter DIED MONTGOMERY - At Susanville, Cal., on Saturday, June 5, 1897, Thos. Montgomery, a native of New York, aged 81 years, 4 months and five days. MARKER - In Susanville, June 7, 1897, John Hansen Marker, a native of Denmark, aged about 55 years. Ned Stanley had the nail and most of the flesh mashed off his left thumb last week, while lassoing a cow. His horse jumped and his thumb got caught between the saddle and rope. Mrs. Grace rice, nee Grace Osborn, with her infant babe, arrived here Friday from Yuma, Arizona, and will visit with her mother this summer. THURSDAY, JUNE 24, 1897 MILL BURNED Last Saturday afternoon P. D. Hurlbut's sawmill at Merrillville was burned down. The mill and lumber piles caught from burning sawdust at a time when Mrs. E. L. Lysinger and her children were the only persons about, and could not be subdued. The fire had been set, we are informed, to destroy the sawdust, and after burning for some time the wind changed, blowing sparks into the shavings and lumber piles about the mill. We have not been able to learn the amount of the loss, but it will be a serious one to Mr. Hurlbut, and a very great inconvenience to the people of that section, who have relied upon it for material. While Noah Knox was returning home from town last Friday night his horse fell with him and broke his left collar bone. He returned to town and had Dr. Bradshaw set the fracture. The accident occurred near E. H. Shafer's place. Crickets are reported to be heading for Big Valley. Attorney A. L. Shinn has given up the practice of law at Susanville and left for Granite Basin, Plumas County, where he is engaged in a mining venture. KICKED BY A HORSE Jack Burton, aged about fourteen years, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Burton of Pittville, was kicked by a vicious horse at Jim Snell's ranch last Monday morning. The animal's hoof struck the boy in the left side just below the ribs. Dr. Rowley was hastily summoned and on his return, informed us that the boy is injured internally and badly injured at that. The doctor has made several subsequent visits and found his patient suffering severely from the effects of his accident. Grayson Myers cut his foot last week with an ax. Miss Myrtle Lippincott, of Dunsmuir, and Mrs. Tyrell, of Cassel, are here visiting their mother, Mrs. Granville Eades. Jim brown came near being seriously hurt a few days ago from the fall of a derrick pole. The pole struck him in the fall on the neck and shoulders and was rendered helpless for awhile, but is now hobbling around on crutches from the sprain of an ankle received at the time.
