CAMPING OUT IN ARIZONA.

Come get up. We must be out early
this morning IL we want to have any
luck" 81 don't like to yet up so early
when am out for pleasure trip" said
Verde but still he was as anxious to kill
a deer as I, got breakfast and was
ready to start nearly by daylight
Going east from the camp we thought
sure to find something and crossing
what is known as Lookout mountain,
we went IN an eaSterly direction, to a
place known as the Kennedy place, and
where we had often heard Dick Baker,
Walter Shute and other COW boys talk
OF how easy it was to find deer or tur-
key.
We had not gone very far over the
hill until we started a herd OF wild cat
tie several hundred in number. The
sound Of their boots seemed like dis
tant thunder; but only for few minutes
and all was silent except the chirp Of
the blue jay which cSwed at US from a
nearby pine.
What nice quiet place this vast 1t
seemed that nature had formed it for
wild animals. MIR. L. and C. p. Ii. had
remained at camp and were to take any
course they liked. They had said some
thing OF hunting up the horses which
had not been seen for day or two.
We wandered on through this place to
what is known as the DEVILS chasm.
What grand scenery it was! Cautious
ly we went on through the woods eager
ly watching for something to shoot at
Verde told me about killing wild
turkey once when he was hunting and
we were very anxious to see q drove Of
them so that we could try our luck and
see il we would not be the first ones to
bring meat to the camp.
We wandered on through the pine
woods watching close for something to
shoot at Every few yards we could see
fresh deer tracks, and leaving the De-
wills Chasm to our left we came to the
Griffin Spring. Here we found deer
signs more plentiful and you can guess
how surprised we were whom we found
that huge bear had made tracks in the
mud near the water AS we hadn't lost
any bear we decided to turn our steps
wards home and report our adventures
and find out if Mr.. L, and C. p. II. had
met with any better luck than we had.
