 Predatory Animals

From July l. 1912. to June 30, 1913, predatory animals killed within Che national forests of Arizona and New Me1ico number 40 beer, 1858 coyotes. 6a mountsio ::lions, P lynx, 75 wildcats, and 2s wolves, making . total oi 1885. l99 less than the previous year. Hunters and ,rsppers were em- ployed on some of the forests under a co-operstive system; the government paying part of the salary and the forest users supplying the remaiLd der.
 Thi. combined wsre'sre of the forest serviee and stotkmen against cattle end sheep destroying bessts is the result of general. and in some instances serious losses by grazing permittees.
 With the high prices of cattle LOW days the stockmen feel the loss of every beef animal lost or killed far more than in the old days of larger herds and lower prices. It is said that . bear will kill $500 worth o' cattle in . ssa'on. while . wolf or . lion may destroy $500 worth or more.
 The county in most cases has es- tablished 6 bounty of $lO for every lion, bear or Iobo killed. To this suonnk lons1 cs ttJoc,ao h.va :, ,,.,, csses added au individual or company reward for the successful hunter o, trspper. In Cochise county, the re. gently formed csttlemsn's as ociation of the Chiricahua region has publiihed an offer of reward for predatory ani. msls killed. On the Apache nations
 forest of Arizona most of the grazing permittees have standing offer o $l0 for lion, wolf or bear.
