GREAT-GAME FIELDS 



railroad, there are two or three bunches, making 

 about a hundred and fifty head. Six years ago 

 there was a good band between Williams and Sun- 

 set Pass, but the Navajo Indians got among them 

 and killed all but about thirty head. Between Wil- 

 liams and the Grand Canon there is a band of about 

 ten and about that number have been seen between 

 Ash fork and Prescott. There are about a dozen not 

 far from Tombstone, but in this bunch the bucks 

 outnumber the does. Arizona does not very fully 

 protect any of her game against miners, and, more 

 especially, against Indians. There are a few 

 grizzlies in a restricted part of Arizona. The ante- 

 lope, as may be seen from the foregoing figures, 

 ought not any longer to be considered an object 

 of sport. 



There are a few elk in the Mogollon Mountains 

 of Arizona, which were imported from Yellowstone 

 Park, about eighty having survived the trip. It is 

 a question whether they will make a good increase, 

 for in all likelihood they will be killed off as rapidly 

 as they multiply. 



There are a few mountain sheep in the desert 

 country of California, and in the extreme south of 

 Arizona, and across the line in Mexico. South of 

 A jo Valley, on the Mexican side, there is some 

 old volcanic country where there are several bands
