ivan before John L. commenced the use of the bi chloride cure. A hunting party consisting of G. D. Bantz, L. H. Little, George Bell and Wade, left for the Burros Tuesday. They are loaded for bear and sich, and anticipate having a high old time. Lion Rampant Chcval Couchant The mountain lions in the vicinity of the Mangas and Gila valleys are making sad havoc with the young colts this season. Several parties have reported their losses to the Enterprise, among whom may be mentioned Henry Miller, who has lost fifty colts; Judge Tom Clark, twenty; John Moss, sixteen; Dan McMillan, five, Tony, of Black Hawk, three. These are the numbers positively known from carcasses found torn to pieces by these ferocious animals. How many more that have not been found is difficult to determine, but many colts are miss- ing from this year’s crop that are supposed to have been killed by lions. The ranchers pro- pose petitioning the next legislature for a larger bounty on lion scalps, so that hunters may be induced to make lion scalp hunting a business and rid the rancher of this scourge.
