Ashe County Gets 5OO0-Acre Game Refuge On Negro Mt
Set Aside By N.
!. C.. Conservation
Board Last Wk.
AZ Landowners Signed Peti-
ton To Close Tract
~ To Hunting. -.
GOODMAN, SPONSOR

Ashe county now has a 5000
acre game refuge on Negro
Mountain which was established
last week by the State Board OF
Conservation in regular session
at Raleigh, after a petition signed
by AZ land owners had been sub
mitted, asking for it.
The establishment of this ref
uge closes it to hunting, fishing
and trapping and establishes il as
a game sanctuary.
The movement was started
here last fall by County Game
Warden H. T. Goodman, who af-
ter securing a signed petition
from the land owners involved,
sent it to Grady Farthing, dis
trict game warden, of Boone, who
in turn took the matter up with
the State Board of Conservation.
1t was pointed out that the new
ly-established game refuge would
probably be stocked with wild
turkeys, deer and other wild life
native of this section, but now
practically extinct.
Those signing the agreement
were: H. c. Tucker, Town of West
