A PACKER'S TALES OF '49.
[Compiled for the E_ECOBI>-7___-S from the
experience of Philip Dippel by Proiessor 1.
/.. Ba .
Every person tliat staked off a claim
on the Hat called ipper Sherlocks, ad
joining the Mariposa and not far from the
Yosemite River, s.iuek it rich. But I
did not tarry to ascertain the full extent
oi a di_covery, tho auriferous wealth and
splendor of wbich subsequently dazzled
motley hundreds of pairs of Mexican, In
dian, Caucasian aud evou Ethiopian eyes.
A loathsome cutaneous affection,
brought on by the use of a limited range ol
food and commonly called scurvy, had
broken out among the little isolated baud
of self-exiled adventurer... Its appear
ance was the signal for a general cry ol
anguish and despair. With all the celer
ity which humanity or the love of lucre
could suggest, 1 therefore gathered up
my mules aud struck out for San Jose. I
left the miners sunk in gloom aud de
spondency. I returned to clear away the
hanging pall of impending danger feom
the prevailing disleuiper with sixteen
mules, each loaded witn 800 pounus oi
potatoes.
1 was hailed not only with delight but
.villi a rattling hailstorm of gunning
nuggets of every conceivable size and
bhape from a ten-pound nest-egg down
to a j_>_-s!.ig.
i touched the potatoes oft" at a dollar a
pouud, but they disappeared so rapidly
at this price that, under the specious pre
text of public utility, 1 solemnly raised it
to j£_ 1 bought tne potatoes at I__ cents
a pound near sau Jose, with tho privilege
oi digging them myself or of leaving
them in the ground, just as i chose. Bnt
I lost lour mules valued at &M) on that
trip, and my net profit amounted to only
about $_,oou. 1 valued my males ats__.
apiece, because 1 never sold a mule ior
less than that amount. 1 frequently
bought mules from seedy-looking "emi
grants" and "busted" prospector*, whose
only available collateral was mule meat,
but in snch cases the price of a male
lluctuated uetween s__> and $50, according
to the quality of the mule and the tout
ensemble of its rider. By continued
acquisition of this character I gradually
augmented the numerical strength of
my train, untii, wheu 1 sold out, in the
spring ot '50, 1 could give a bill of saie
ior thirty-nine mules and a saddle-horse,
a single file of animals which, whi a
btrung out over a crooked, rocKy trail,
covered a distance of nearly a quarter ol
a mile and bore a striking resemblance to
a lengthy Mexican centipede.
There were no roads in those days, no
taverns, and such trails as i came across
were as likely to lean into the dark lair ol
some herce old grizzly as into any other
inhabited spou Hence 1 had to do con
siderable guessing at times regardiug the
proper course for me to pursue. It should
also be noted that in order to get to Upper
Shirlocks I had to cross four rivers, oe
sides Innumerable arroyos—the Stanis
laus, the Tuolumne, the Merced, and the
Mariposa; to perforate murky jungles
and stream tangles ot willows, vines and
wild roses; to push my way through uu
troddon forests and dense copse-woods oi
sequoia gigantea; to skirmish around
amongst thickets and brakes ol chaparral,
cbimonsei, mauzanita and other varieties
of deer-brush; to achieve thosteep ascents
<>f a peculiarly rugged and tor bidding sec
tion of tlie mountains; to graze the edges
of wreck-strewn precipices, and to camp
at night wherever in the virgin wilderness
nature had provided water and lorage for
my mules.
The venerable poet of the Sierras.
Joaquin Mfiler, with a copiousness and
felicity of diction unknown to the com
mon herd, has dilated with iluxurious
amplification upon some alleged peculi
arities oi the grizzly bear, the "Robin
Hood of the California forests." He
dwells at length upou the grizzly's in
stinctive mortal fear of fire. I am nol
lauiiliar with the character of the < Oregon
grizzly, uor yet with that of that degen
erate and pusillanimous poltroon, the
modern California grizzly. Bnt 1 speak
officially, front the chair of St. Peter,
v. hen i declare that the grizzly of "49,
which was a veritable cataract of biubber,
was not only not afraid of fire, but, on
the contrary, given to hunting for it with
gay intrepidity. !'n three dillerent occa
sions in the summer of '49 1 witnessed a
grizzly approach within a few feet of a
camp fire and remain there for several
minutes, serenely indiilerent to the firo,
as well as to every other circumjacent ob
ject, animate or inanimate.
Iwo ol these cases have already been
cited. The third occurred in a peaceful,
irriguous mountain dell, where, on ac
count of the lorage and superior ground
atlorded by a scattering grove of huge
pine trees, I had, with much internal sat
isfaction, concluded to pitch my camp.
My mules had been turned loose with a
"bell mare," out of hearing of which
they seldom wandered, and were feeding
on the mesa at some distance from camp.
Having dispatched our eveuiug repast,
Jesus, my Mexican muleteer, my Yaqui
Indian and myself had spread our blank
ets on one sine of our camp-tire and lain
down to rest, when a monstrous grizzly
strolled up to the other side and began to
lick uu and crunch the bones which we
had left on the ground from our venison
supper there, My riile lay at my side,
bat 1 did not care to provoke the vicissi
tudes of fortune by a chance shot at the
bulky, truoculent monster in the dark.
Consequently it linished its picking in
peace. When it took its departure my
mules discovered it, aud loudly snorting,
all stampeded to a point within a few rods
of my-lire, where they bunched in a com
pact circle, with their heels outward and
their heads together, prepared for active,
formidable deiensive operations. Woe
worth the day to tho grizzly that ventured
within range of that terrible circumfer
ence. So thought our friend Bruin at
least, for he gave it a wide berth as he
trudged away, to disturb us no more.
The poet's lucubration must, therefore,
be dismissed as a vain and idle composi
tion.
Did I see any antelope, or elk, or wild
horses in '49? Well, a few—million of
the two former species and a few —million
of the latter. On the second day of niy
second expedition out from Stockton in
the month of June, 184., I observed a
regiment of antelope marching along in
double file, with all the precision of vet
eran soldiers, over two miles in length!
Coyotes? Well, speaking of coyotes re
minds me that you didn't have to hunt
lor coyotes in those days—they hunted for
you. They followed me in packs of fif
teen or twenty sometimes. At night l
couldn't sleep for the infernal din of their
incessant yelping and ululatiou. Spanish
cattle were too numerous to be noticed at
all; but I distinctly remember the big
vultures that used to feed on their decom
posed carcasses. Elk and antelope, far
lroni betraying any alarm or discompos
ure at my presence in their favorite
haunts, approached my camp with offic
ious inquisitiveness.
An error of fact in a previous paper
has located my traffic with a village of
500 native Indians on the Stauislaua. It
took place on the Merced River, about
twenty-rive miles from Cold Water Dig
gings. This village appeared to be a kind
of permanent headquarters for the In
dians of lhat section, but, though I had to
within four miles of it every trip, I
was never molested. While trading with
these Indians I personally observed them
■wash frequently as much as a dollar's
worth of gold with a close-woven willow
basket irom loose sand taken from the
top of a sandbar in the river. Mv method
of dealing witn them was to balance their
purchases on my gold-scales with their
gold dust.
One rainy night I was forced to test
the hospitality of two Indians who occu
pied a sequestered wickiup on the Tu
olumne Kiver. Verily, the lloodgates of
heaven had been throwu wide open, or I
should not have implored shelter of
them. But a humid, timorous appeal
drew forth a grunt of otherwise stolid
condescension, and, piling up my goods
in a heap, which I covered with a canvas
cloth, I passed the nignt in their squalid,
noisome hovel.
Lightning: Cookery.
Prince Bismarck's old chef, who is now
head cook in a Berlin restaurant, recently
won a novel bet, and gave a surprising
exhibition of his mastery of the culinary
art. Ue had wagered $50 that he could
SACRAMENTO DAILY RECORP-UOTO-NT, FRIDAY, J ANY ARY 26, 1894.E.51X FAGESo
kill, clean, cook and serve a chicken, all
in six minutes. The wager was decided
at night in the cafe of the restaurant in
the presence of a big crowd. Tiie cook
appeared at 9 o'ciock on an improvised
platform, upon which stood a gas cook
ing stove. He held a live chicken high
over his head and the fowl cackled
loudly. One blow of the keen carver
Be. ered the head from the neck, and the
cook began to pick tlie feathers with
great swiftness. It took just one minute
to gel rid oi every feather. In less thau
auotiier minute tiie expert had opened
and cleaned the fowl and had placed it
upon a broiler on the gas stove. The cook
busied himself at tlie broiler, seasoning
tlie low las it cooked. It lacked just a
second of the sixth minute when he
stepped from the platform and served
the chicken to the nearest guest amid
great applause.
THB MAKING OF A WOMAN.
Kdward Uoa;'.. CommOß>Sea__ Ideas
About Educating Our Girls.
The education of a girl resolves itself
to a single basis, write.. Edward W. Uok
in a strong artioto in the Ladies' Home
Journal. NVomanTi progress may, in tho
minds of some, have seemed to make it
more complex, and contusion can enter
into the question if a mother allows her
self to listen to the proclaimers of so
called "advanced ideas." We will be led
into the mistake of cultivating the mind
at ihe expense of the heart, if wo allow
ourselves to be led. But tho error is a
cruel one—painlully so to the girl who is
led, unknowingly, into it. But if we
permit our common sense to rule, the
problem solves itself. We do not waut
our daughters to be encyclopaedias, but
true, womanly women. The lirst we can
buy, the latter we cannot. Let us first
look alter the physical development of
our girls, teaching them that good health
outweighs all things. Let them under
stand the human nu onanism, hiding
notning. Let them kuow what God re
quires of a woman, aud why it is essen
tial that she shall be as perfect in health,
and as well developed in body as possi
ble. Teach, by exam; le as well as by pre
cept, tho value of outdoor exercise. Then
begin mental development, giving her
the beneiit of the largest educational ad
vantages within our powers, insisting,
however, that her studies shall be those
likely to be of greatest usefulness in alter
life. Let her study not up to her lullest
capacity, but just a little this side of it.
A margin of unspent power is a tremen
dous lorce to a woman. Then, if our
schools and colleges shall continue to
neglect the teaching of household econo
mics, keep your daughter close lo you at
home ior a year at least, or longer if nec
essary. With her mind free from mental
studies, teach her the rudiments of the
homo, hiding not tho kitchen utensils as
you show her the dainty china. Make of
her an all-around good home-builder and
house-keeper, holding up ever before her
tiie one great truth that a woman is al
ways most satisfactory to herself whon
sho is a woman, and most beautiful to
others whon she is womanly. Let her
know what it means to be a wife and a
mother. Make her not dependent, but
likewise not independent in the modern
interpredaiion of that word. Between
the two lies the truest type of woman
hood. Let her aim be womanly, her
thought of others tender, living her life
so that the world may be better because
she passed through it.

Who Have Been lise
IN THE PAST
Are those who have taken ad
vantage of the opportunity to pur
chase small tracts of land near
large cities when those tracts are
first otfered.
WORKING PEOPLE OF SAC
RAMENTO HAVE WISDOM and
j need only a little urging. We are
doing the urging, and ask that an
inspection be made of the
Denson Villa Tract,
A pretty piece of ground that we
have subdivided into tracts of z\
to 14 acres, which we can offer at
a reduced price that will defy
competition, and upon terms that
are so easy that the purchaser
hardly feels the payments. The
land is only one mile from the
electric car line, on two country
roads, witb avenues already
graded leading to the roads. The
land now not planted to trees or
vines is eminently adapted to
berries of all kinds, the profit on
which is very large, Now is the
time to begin to prepare the land
tor plants.
We will give anyone meaning
business a good chance to get a
j home with little money down.
! Four years to pay the balance.
j Interest 7 per cent, per annum.
Remember, the Price is Reduced
And the terms made easier than
ever.

A RARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Landfor $10
to $20 per Acre.
The Pacific Improvement Company has re
cently purchased twelve thousand _cres of
land in the heart of Tehama County, for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from, flrst
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land of fair average quality, and ia offered at
from $10 to $20 per acre, in subdivisions of
40, 80. 120, 160 and 320 acres.
The termsupon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold ln
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal by paying tho first of five equal an
nual installments. Thus no part of the prin
cipal is to be paid lor three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay five equal annual installments, with in
terest at the rate of 7 per cent, per annum,
making payments extending over a period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at $10 per acre,
and good agricultural land at $20 an acre,
with other grades of land at prices to corre
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made th»t good
lands, suitable for general forming, and es
pecially adapted for fruit-growing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $60 to
$100 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $20
an acre, an.l for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at $10 an acre, on terms of
payment which should make the disposition
of these land.s to actual settlers a resulteasy of
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase of this
body of land was the breaking up of a large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.
