month. After the elk is killed it's skin is stripped from the body, and the carcass left lying in the snow. I have seen hundreds of dead elk along the Yellowstone The aver age price of an elk skin is three dollars. The hide hunters are equipped with repeating rifles, and even when the snow does not aid them in their butchery, they are able to frequently kill from six to twelve elk In herd before it gets out of range. The hunters are selected from the most worthless and unprincipled classes.
 1.-The mule deer, which also singled out by these hide hunters, range from Idaho to Oregon. They are shyer than the elk and seek the higher portions of the bad lands. Quick of eye and scent, they the better able to elude the hunter. The female gives birth to two young in the latter part of May. l Hunting the mule deer requires all the skill and cunning the hunter is able to bring to his aid. The elk, once fired at or hearing the sound of a gun, will immediately run, and once chased will not stop until they cross running water, although the run may be many miles distant. The mule deer, however, has his regular runs, and may be<hunted in 1 the same locality throughout the season. l Mule deer hides are not as valuable as elk hides, but the animal is slaughtered just as unscrupuIously. The antelope is being exterminated in the same manner. Besides l the slaughter Of the above named animals, know that in the year 1882 more than 25 900 buffaloes were killed for these traders | | of the Little Missouri.
 eff the sportsmen of this country have any desire to enjoy the sport of the great l West in the future. they should move at l once toward obtaining legislation that will give some protection to gamein those States and territories In five years from now, at the present rate of destruction, there will be very few elk, buffalo, mule deer or an telope left to hunt.
