From now on, he said, rolilenl of the Ruckles are going to see more and more of these mujratlc, sure-footed nioiinniia of the high mountain ranges. Thanks to careful observation methods, the bighorn lias made a great comeback In Colorado, 1 ji.nt winter's aerial count tllmiiwrd Hint almost 5000 now live among the remote peaks of Hie Mule.
