BUFFALO AND ELF INCREASING IN YELLOWSTONE
PARK.-Capt. Moses Harris, Of the LIST cavalry.
acting superintendent of the Yellowstone National
Park In mis- annual report TO the Secretary OF the
Interior, expresses the opinion that the number
OF buffalo, elk, deer and mountain sheep which
nnds refuge In the park have heretofore been
considerably underestimated. He says that after
careful Investigation he finds that fully two hum
dred buffalo range over the divide between the
Madison and Yellowstone Rivers In summer and
winter In the adjacent valleys. The elk, deer and
mountain sheep. he says, number many thousands
and are constantly increasing. With proper pro-
tecti0n he says, no fear need be felt that any Of
these animals will ever become extinct In this
country.
