The Wild Denizens of the Great North
west Disappearing.
Graphic Description of the Habits and
Mode of Hunting Wild Animals
Character of the Men who
Engage in the Business.
"The wholesale butchery of large
jrame in the Rocky mountain re
gions, which has been engaged in
by a good sized army ot men lor
the past fifteen years, is about to
be stopped," said civil engin
eer, George Philers, of the North
western Pacific construction corps,
"and the reason it is to cease is
that the races of animals against
which this ruthless crusade has
been carried on, from buffalo to
antelope, are nearly annihilated.
It may be said that the huiialo are
virtually extinct, for of the enor
mous herd whose tread once made
the plains tremble as they marched,
it is doubtful if there are 2,000
left, and they corralled by a skin
speculator, who will slaughter them
as he sees profit in so doing.
"1 spent eight years in Minne
sota, Montana and Wyoming, and
during these years not less than
20,000 e'k, mule deer and antelope
were killed annually in these re
gions alone. Elk, which formerly
ranged from the middle states to
(he Pacific coast, are now never
found east of the Missouri river.
Twenty-five years ago they were
still abundant in Kansas and Ne
braska, but the rapid advance of
civilization in these states drove
them into the dense and as yet
uninhabitable portions of Minne
sota and the northern territories.
If they had been doomed to ex
tinction by the natural progress of
civilization, or the effects of legiti
mate hunting in those regions,
they would have been certain of
a long life tenure; but the whole
sale slaughter in all seasons of
these animal?, which began to be
a systematic business in 1S72, has
resulted in so thinning out their
ranks that the sportsman must
now seek this noble game in the
most remote parts of even the
comparatively unfrequented re
gions to which the war upon them
has forced the remnants of the
race to fly. Not only has the elk
been made the victim of this indis
criminate and organized raid, but
the mule deer and antelope haw
been pursued in the same manner.
Begun in 1872 by a party of Fort
Uenton traders, who conceived the
idea of making the skins of these
animals an important item in the
commerce of the plains and mount
ains, the business rapidly increased
in proportions year after year, and
hunting parties, fitted out to per
fection for the prosecution of their
destructive work, spread through
the country named and gave
no mercy, liie industry ot col
lecting elk, mule deer and antel
ope skins reached the culminating
point of destructiveness in 1S79,
and since then has been decreas
ing annually in importance because
of the rapid disappearance of ma
terial upon which to work, but
against the remnant of these three
races of the noblest game animals
on the American continent the
war is still persistently waged, and
it must be but a matter of a year
or two when they will be prac
tically extinct. Provisions of law,
which are strict in prohibiting the
killing of the game as it is being
killed, are virtually useless, for it
would take a standing army of
10,000 men to stand guard around
the haunts of the doomed animals
and protect them from the butch
ers. "Elk travel in herds, and to the
legitimate hunter there is no more
noble and exciting sport than elk
hunting. Yv hen not hindered by
deep snow they make their way
with wonderful ease and rapidity
through the very worst of the bad
lands of the regions they inhabit.
Mounted on a fleet bronco, the
hunter is frequently led a chase
for many miles befere he is able
to capture' his wary game. The
natural gait of the elk is a grace-
jful swinging trot, and as long as
j they maintain that they never tire.
It is one great object of the hun
ter to follow his game so closely
on his pony as to break his trot
into a gallop. If the hunter suc
ceeds in his object, he follows on
with the certainty that the game
is his, for the gallop, beinjr an un-
i natural gait for the elk, soon tires
i the animal and ho begins to lag be
hind. Once broken from his trot
into tho run, he does not seem to
be able to fall back into his nat
ural gait again, the hunter is able
to set in easy range and the elk
soon falls a victim to his rifle. An
elk in good condition will weigh
from 300 to 500 pounds, and no
member of the deer family has
such delicate and finely flavored
flesh.
"The range of the mule deer be
fore he fell under the ban of the
game butchers was from Idaho to
Oregon. The mule deer is shyer
than the elk and seeks the higher
portions of tho Bad Lands. Quick
of eye and scent, they arc better
able to elude the hunter, and the
sportsman finds that he needs all
of his best skill and cunning in
bagging a mule deer. The elk,
once fired at or on hearing the
sound of a gun, will immediately
run, and once chased will not stop
until he crosses running water, al
though the run may be many miles
before that is reached. The mule
deer, on the other hand, has his
regular runs, like the cunning red
deer of the east, and may be
hunted throughout the season iu
the locality where one is started.
"The shyness and fleet-footed-
ness of the antelope are well known
to hunters and its chase is given
an additional zest on that account.
All sorts of strategems are adopted
by huqtcrs to get a shot at one.
The coursing of antelope with
greyhounds is probably one of the
most exciting of all legitimate
wild sport. General Standley,
when he was stationed among the
Rockies, had a greyhound that was
famous all through that region for
his wonderful success in coursing
antelope. This was tho standard
recreation of all the army officers
in the west when I was out there.
I do notbplieveanyof them would
have hesitated to turn his whole
iorce against a party of skin hunt
ers, if occasion offered, as the war
on the antelope began to come
home to their individual interest
and pleasure.
"The greatest destruction of
these thiee rame animals is carricii
on by the hide hunteis during tin
senson of-dcep snow, and during
the breeding season, when it is an
ci"-y matter to take them. In
April the cow elks, leave the liulU
to themselves and retire to the
thickets and close timber. I hav
known a single hide hunter to kill
in one month, in the snow, mid
that in the month of April, thirty
five cow elks. This man was of a
large party who were huntinii in
the same neighborhood, and there
was no reason to suppose that each
one of them was not fully as suc
cessful as the one mentioned; in
fact, it was known that the party
butchered nearly 500 cow elks that
month. Each one of those cows
would have brought forth a calf in
the course of a few weeks, being
in ambush for that purpose. These
men were but a small proportion
of the men operating in that re
gion, and thousands of elk, unable
to escape or offer resistance, were
slaughtered there that month.
The mule, deer and antelope are
killed after the same manner.
When an animal is killed, whether
elk, deer or antelope, the skin is
stripped Irom the body and the
carcass left lying in the snow. I
have seen hundreds of elk along
the Yellowstone. The hide hunt
ers are equipped with repeating
rifles, and even when the snow
does not aid them in their Dtttcii
ery, they are able to kill from six
to" t'.clve elk in a herd before it
gets out of range.
"All the hide hunters I camp iu
contact with were the roughest
kind of characters, and first-rate
people to let alone. I have been
told that the traders employ the
worst and most reckless men they
can obtain for this lawless gather
ing of hides. They are paid S3
apiece for elk skins a"nd 82 for mule
deer and antelope skins. It was
these same Fort Benton people
who fostered the persistent and
wholesale raids on the buffalo in
that region, and at last extermi
nated them. One year while I
was in the Yellowstone country
they killed 25,000 buffalo between
. J. .. ' . .. t ...I. ir:
the headwaters ot the i.iuiie .Mis
souri and the Yellowstone. I
would advise any sportsman who
desires to have a shot at an elk, a
mule deer or an antelope, to go
out west now. Ho will not hnd
them as accessible nor as certain of
hmnrr fnnnd ns thev were five
o , . "li i
years ago, but a good nunter win oe
able to find some and have fine
sport. But if ha waits another
year or so, ha might as well stay
at home and takehis sport with
possible red deer nearer home. He
will never see an elk or any of his
kin. althourrh he may hunt the
great northwest over inch by inch."
Peace on Earth
Awaits that countless army of martyrs,
whose ranks are constantly recruited from
the victims of nervousness and nervous dis
eases. The price of the boon is a systemat
ic course of Hostetter's Bitteri, the finest
and most genial of tonic nervines, pursued
with reasonable persistence. Easier, plcas
anter and safer this than to swah the let
ualling department with jeudo-tonics, al
coholic or the reverse, beef extracts, nerve
foods, narcotics, sedathes and poisons in
disguise. "Tired Natuce's sweet restorer,
balmy sleep," Is the providential recuperant
o- weak Serves, and this glorious franchise
being usually the consequences of sound di
gestion and increased vigor, the great stom
achic which insures bo'li Is productive also
of repose at the required time. Not unre
freslied awakens the Individual who ues it,
but vigorous, clear headed and tranquil. Use
thh Bitters also in fever and ague, rheuma
tism, kidney troubles, constipation and bil
iousness. When it's only 25 below zero
out in Dakota and Minnesota, the
natives think it s an open winter
and bc'iin to talk of spring plow
ing.
