WHITE MOUNTAIN WILD DOGS.
Deputy Sheriff Billy Moore reports
that the White Mountains abound in
wild dogs, which are supposed to be
the descendants of the dogs of set
tiers and miners who were killed
many years ago by Apaches. There
are dogs of all sizes and many breeds.
Some of them have possibly taken on
a coyote strain. There are dogs which :
look like shepherds, except that the
ears are pointed and always erect, d
popularity which would naturally oc-
cur in an animal which had been wild
for two or three generations. 1t is G
important to a wild dog that he should \
always be ready to hear things. Andy 4
Watkins succeeded in tanning one of !
the dogs which hung about his camp ,
in the winter time The tanning was r
accomplished by slow degrees. By
throwing food to the animal for weeks
Mr.. Watkins overcame his timidity SO !,
that he could touch him with the tips },
of his fingers. At last the dogs conf
dence was won and he proved to be an
and sagacious animal. a
