Soldiers to Guard Buffalo. =

The Secretary of the Interior at
Washington has under consideration a
project which will hereafter furnish
some of the Fort Logan cavalrymen
with novel variety of active duty in
the summer and fall seasons. 1t is
that detail of Regular Army troopers
be told off to guard the herd of buffalo
which exists in Lost Park, Colorado.
There are still about forty Of these
rare beasts alive, but if some immedl-
ate precaution is not taken to protect
them against the depredations of pot
hunters they will speedily be EXTERN
mated. Late last fall one buffalo was
found dying OF remote distance from
its fellows, having been wounded o
number Of times by rifle bullets. 1t
was put out of pain by deputy game
warden, and its stuffed frame is now
among the collection Of rarities in the
rooms of the State Historical Society.
This incident led to the discovery
that several others of the herd had
been killed during the preceding sum-
nler. No trace Of the marauders wiz.
did the killing could be discovered,
nor could any effective means be de-
vised by the State Game Warden to
guard against them in future. A good
deal Of Indignation was aroused thereat
among sportsmen and others who are
interested in preserving Colorado's

mountains is great lake, and run
ming over the plain is very tine
river. The plain is twelve days jour
ney in length, and is called Pamere.
Onward the road leads to Kashgar,
which is tributary to the Great Khan. "
Such was Marco Polo's account of the
"Roof of the World" and it tallies
we'll with all men known to-day OF
that forbidding region. It is about
100 miles by $50 miles in extent, and
is o region of broad valleys, each
three or four miles wide. Most OF the
country is bare, but parts of it in the
summer yield good grass, on which
the Kirghis nomads pasture their
hocks, the wandering Kirghizzes,
who come on shaggy ponies from
Pamere." Besides the valleys there
are huge bare mountains rising more
than 20, 900 feet above the sea, while
the bottoms of the valleys are at an
altitude Of from $4,000 to $1,000 feet.
Winter begins in August and ends
in May, and the temperature is often
from Is to 90 degrees below zero. The
latter half of June and the first two
weeks of July contain the only really
warm weather. Heavy frosts begin
with the first of August.
The only resident population OF the
Pamirs are the wandering klrghls.
OF these there re in the whole region
not more than hundred families, with
five or six persons in o family. They
live in tents, and for their living de-
pend entirely upon their fiocks. They
come down from the mountains to the
nearest towns occasionally to buy
-four and grain, and to sell their cat.
tie and hides. AS rule they are well
clad and robust, prospetous-looking
men. A few OF them carry firearms,
which they use for shooting game for
food. They are friendly, amiable
people, we'll disposed towards the
British, but regard the Chinese as the
real lords of the world. In religion
they are Mahometans. They have nc
temples or mosques, but pray at sun
set looking toward the West.
