ti-millionaire though he now is,
T. F. Walsh has not forgotten the
dreary days and nights he spent alone
in the mountains, nor has a super
abundance of money made him forget
the sympathy which every prospector
has for wild birds and harmless beasts,
says the Denver Post.
In order to protect his dumb COM
panions of earlier days, Mr.. Walsh has
placed all along the road leading from
the Camp Bird mine to the mill these
notices:
''Notice-Birds and harmless beasts
must not be killed on this property. 1t
is cruel, also it is against the law. Any
employee of the Camp Bird mine need
lessly killing or cruelty treating any
bird or animal will be discharged"
Under Mr. Walsh's special protection
is a species known as the camp bird"
Long before he owned the mine which
has made him envied by kings Mr..
Walsh found the solitudes of the will
derness more endurable because of the
presence of the camp birds. No pros
pector is long in the mountains before
being discovered by these birds, and
having a retinue of them in his train.
They follow when he moves his camp,
and sometimes remain a whole season
with one miner. They are the scaven-
gers of the mountains. They pick up
all the refuse, and soon become so tame
that they may be fed from the hand
Of the most sociable nature, they seem
to appreciate human companionship,
and their chatter, closely resembling
that of magpie, does much to de-
stroy the oppressive solitude of the
mountains.
