PRAIRIE CHICKENS. - Yesterday we
saw ut Sisson, Wallace & Co. y half n
dozen prairie chickens that were caught
in tha eastern part of the State. aud
were being forwarded to San francisco
by member of that firm. They ap-
peared to be as tame and contented in
their coop as ordinary barpyard chick
ems under similar circumstances. In
size and color they are similar to the
chickens of the Western prairies. Oc-
casfnallv a flock of these birds are
seen in Paradise Valley. but rarely
west or south of that place, though
they are quite plentiful in Elko county
