ZECKENDoRF's lottery was drawn as an
nounced and everybody was satisfied

HUNTING.-An abundance OF game--as
deer, antelope, grizzly and other bear, wild
turkeys, ducks, etc, is a distinguishing
feature of Arizona's mountains and valleys,
and those who wish any more exciting
sport, Will find a few Apaches-or rather,
to be accommodating, they will hunt and
find you occasionally. But it is not a bad
country where few men can go out and
bring in half-a-dozen deer in four or five
days, and load CT wild-fowl. Last week,
party Of well-knoWn 'TucsOners did that,
and we expect several of the same party in
to-day with more venis0n. Some OF the
bucks dress over two hundred pounds. We
mean the four-legged bucks-the Others
are never dressed to speak of.
