you should have a Jas. Boss Stiffened Gold Case in order to protect the works 

 and lessen the cost of repairs. The Boss Cuse is made of two layers of solid gold 

 with a layer of stiffening metal between. It is better than a solid gold case because it is 

 stronger and so close-fitting as to keep out gas, smoke, dust and dampness.

ARIZONA GAME. 



There has been a drought here and quails 

 are scarce. They are not Bob Whites, but 

 blue valley quails, a bird that resembles 

 Bob and is here called fool quail, and a 

 larger variety known as mountain quail. 

 Deer are abundant. Mountain lions, 

 wolves and black bears are in fair num- 

 bers. Coyotes and jack rabbits are plenti- 

 ful. A few peccaries mav be found not far 

 from here. The animal I want most of all 

 is plentiful in Mexico, a day's ride from 

 here; and more than plentiful in the Sierra 

 Madre mountains, 200 miles Southwest of 

 here. It is the jaguar, or tiger, as it is 

 called. It is larger than a mountain lion 

 and much more courageous. Have seen 

 some superb hides 9 feet long from tip to 

 tip, rich colors and beautifully leopard 

 marked. Deer are of 3 kinds ; whitetail, 

 blacktail and burro deer. There are moun- 

 tain sheep north of here, and antelope on 

 the deserts. There is plenty of game here, 

 for this is an enormous territory, but it is 

 widely scattered. 



The best informed hunters here have 

 30-30, .303 or 30-40 rifles. The wounds 

 given by these high power rifles are fright- 

 ful. I shot a deer that was running to- 

 ward me on lower ground. The 30-30 ball 

 hit him in the back and comoletely disem- 

 boweled him. He stopped exactlv on the 

 spot where the ball found him. There has 

 not been water enough to attract many 

 ducks since I have been here, but I got 

 some during the flight last fall. At times 

 there are thousands going through here to 

 the South. 



I see a dove here that is new to me. It 

 is about the size of a hedge lark or a cat- 

 bird, reddish color on wings when finished. 

 Can you name it or refer to anyone who 

 can? R, K. Freeman, Nogales, Ariz.
