ELKS IN CIRCLE DANCE.
Remarkable Exercise in Which Bands

Part

But the grand curious amusement OF
The elk. one which many hunters have
witnessed, may be called their circle

Skinner, of Chicago. sends me his oh
servations on this Performance:
About four O'Clock one ai,ernoon
late in August, 1890, was riding
northeast up n small stream flowing
into one of the tributaries OF the
Green river, near its source in north
western Wyoming. The intense heat
was only relieved by an occasional
faint breath of breeze from the north.
My attention was attracted by a col
umn of fine dark brown dust rising
ahead of me and on the opposite side
of the creek q was on the south side).
The column of dust looked almost
as If caused by whirlwind. On
reaching a point as close to it as
could get without crossing the creek
I was perhaps 100 yards from it-I
found that It was caused by a band OF
elk. numbering from IL to 20. who
seemed TO be trotting quite rapidly
with occasional awkward gallopinc
plunges in a circle perhaps 80 feet in
diameter. They were going in the
same direction as the hands OF watch

CLAIMED BY TWO HUNTERS
Deer Shot by One Claimed by Another

section of the valley will remember
the great droves Of deer that used TO
visit the swamps east of Anaconda.
There are a few white tail deer in

about the state game laws. Many
times | have taken my rifle and

The road was in comparatively good

haps such as q wheclhorse turning tur-
tie on hill, we had made good time. At

MEXICAN INDIAN SECRETS.
Natives Who Carefully Conceal All

Some weeks ago a Mexican of the
buscon class offered TO sell me con-
siderable quantity of placer gold, which
he claimed he had found within 100
kilometres of Tepisco, but he refused to
Tell whore he got it," said T. @. Gibson,
Of Tepisco. Sonora, relates the Mexican
Herald Among this gold was one mug
yet rs large as an ordlnary-sized mar
bic. A friend Of mine bought this gold
for $500 and a day or two later sold IL
for $5G5.
1T is no uncommon thing tn find the
bustoucs of that part Of the country
with gold for sale. This n,lgget'-here
he exhibited piece of smoothly-worn
wash cold of irregular shape and about
half an inch long by a little over quar-
ter of an inch wide. with piece of
white quartz running crosswise through
it--"I bought from buscon some three
years ago In Tepisco. He had several
