The steaabeotrrs down from tho
upper river report the buffalo unusually
numerous between the mouth of the
Milk River and the Muscleshell. Men
who have run the river for twenty years
say that they have never seen them so
plenty. They seem to have no point to
make, only to wander from one side of
the river to the other. They are fat and
tame. Capt. Smith says that one thou
sand head could have been killed from
his boat, the G. X. Peck, during her re-.

stone Valley last winter evidently did
not exterminate this nob.est of Ameri-
can game.

examined this mysterious old hulk. He
reported that she is built of teak and
appears to be still perfectly sound and
