Frank Denehie says that in tho
Olympic mountains are hundred hunt
ers waiting for the snow to drive the
elk down from the high peaks They
are working for Denver firm, which
pays $50 for every elk head with antlers.
One hunter has 500 bullets ready for tho
noble game. The elk are gone from
the creek bottoms Of Dakota. There
are but few places in Montana and
Idaho where they can be found. SO that
the hunters have come from all over the
West to bc in At the extermination on
the Olympic peninsula. The carcasses
will be left to rot on tho ground. This
ought to be stopped. Common carriers
should be prevented from receiving elk
heads for transportation under heavy
penalty. Doubtless the late Legislature
would have attended to the matter had
it been apprised Of the premeditated
slaughter. With proper game laws this
peninsula will be the Adirondack region

After presenting the above demand. Mr.. Merrick
asked Colonel Bosbyshen to give them a certificate

fered their silver for coinage, and that 1t had been
refused by him. that they would be saved the trouble

10 test the right of the Government 20 refuse the

receiving which the two men wrapped up their brick
in a piece of paper and left the building.
Colonel Bosbyshe based his refusal u accept the
bullion on the act OF Congress of February IL, 1873
The ground upon which Messrs. Morse aud Merrlck
based their demand is, they alleGe, constitutional
one, denying the right Of the Government TO make
what is known a "seigniOrage." At present the
market value Of silver bullion is 103 IL cents per
