TOP PRICES FOR COYOTE HIDES

Al Turner, of the Huachuca mountain district, recently dis posed of a number of coyote hides to hide buyer in Phoe- nix, for which he received top notch prices.
 For seven coyote and one skunk pelts he was paid the sum of $71. Last year a party of trappers worked in the Hua- chuca district and trapped over 300 coyotes and many musk rats. MT. Turner reports that the hide buyers at Phoenix are offering from $3.5O to $4OO for musk ratpelts, which are used in making gloves.
 Several years ago a bounty of $2 for coyote and $1 for shunk pelts. was paid by the county, in all effort to exterminate these animals, but recent report from the Huachuca mountains state that despite the fact that a party of trappers succeeded in captur- ing over 300 coyotes last year, there IS double that amount in that section now.
 At the present prices for these belts trapping should be very profitable occupatiOn.-T stone Prospector.

met with an accident that came
nearly being fatal.
At the Ed Scott farm there is a
private crossing across the railroad
track and the Scott bows were letting
some horses across into the pasture.
They had all crossed the track but
one colt. Mr.. Johnson, who was
coming down the track. on motor
car, had crossed rough place in the
track and was looking back, did not
see the colt. The colt started across
the track in front of the car and it
was so close he reared up. the car
struck him throwing. him full upon
Mr.. Johnson, rendering him uncon-
scious. 1t was several hours before
Mr.. Johnson recovered conscious
ness, but at last reports was getting
for his experience. Chron-
