FROM THE WIND RIVER COUN- 

 TRY. 



Captain Hiram W. Chittenden, U. S. A. 

 Engineer Corps, of St. Louis, recently re- 

 turned from an outing in the Wind river 

 mountains, Shoshone reservation and Jack- 

 son Hole, Wyo. He reports some splendid 

 trout fishing. 



On every hand, he said, the skeletons of 

 elk and deer gave evidence of the severe 

 weather last winter. 



A party of 4 hunters from Iowa, just re- 

 turning from Harm's Peak, Col., .reports 

 game plentiful in that section. The hunt- 

 ing grounds can easily be reached by 

 wagon from Rawlins, Wyo. This party 

 said trout fishing there was a disappoint- 

 ment. The hide of a monster grizzly was 

 one of their trophies. 



An Englishman named Nelson, having in 

 his employ 3 hunters and trappers, with 

 complete outfit, is now hunting in the 

 Northern part of the Saw-Tooth moun- 

 tains, in Idaho, for heads to adorn his home 

 in England. Two pack horse loads of bear 

 traps was a part of his outfit. 



In making up your list of Christmas 

 resents put down a yearly subscription to 

 'ecreatjon, for each of your best friends. 



L. L. Bates, General Delivery, Seattle, 

 Wash., offers his services as guide for hunt- 

 ing, exploring, and prospecting parties in 

 Alaska. He has lived in that Territory 8 

 years, has travelled many thousands of 

 miles through the interior, and is prepared 

 to give accurate and reliable information 

 concerning it.

Will return to Alaska in March, '98. 



About December 20, I expect to kill one 

 of the largest and finest buffaloes in the 

 United States, and dispose of the meat for 

 the Christmas holidays. The head and hide 

 will also be for sale. The purchaser of the 

 head (whoever he may be) can have the 

 privilege of killing the animal. The buffalo 

 has been fattened on his natural food (buf- 

 falo grass) and is fat and fine. His coat is 

 in the best condition, and he has an exceed- 

 ingly large, fine head. This is a chance to 

 obtain some royal game that is now almost 

 extinct; and those who wish to secure 

 some, should write at once. Address Chas. 

 Payne, Box 913, Wichita, Kan. 



For Sale: A vertical steam engine, 3x4, 



2 to 3 horse power, in first-class condition. 

 A side feed lubricator. Also a 30 foot belt,'

 sell at $45; or will trade for a 12 gauge 

 hammerless gun, of equal value. Or will

 gun as part payment; or a first class setter
