Several parties b already en made up 10 England by old hunters who revisit during the present of forwer campaigns. cruits will be gained from among the s of noted gun clubs in Loudon, the stories of past successes in bagging game in the Sierra Madres have into legend. Not a littlo interest in this has heen excited among the sportsmen of all ngland by the posting of the unique wager of “Al" Huston in the leading clubs of the British metropolis. Mr. Huston is today the best known hunter in this Rocky mountain country He has offered to bet Lis ranch of 2,000 acres—all under cultivation—together With its improvements and a fine herd of cattlo, against $10,000 that tie can kil fifty bear in this rogion in a sigle scason. So far be has found no takers for this extraordinary offer of five to one, for the property he is willing to wager is_casily worth $50,000 at a low estimate. Mr. Huston never maices any rash state- ments. He knows what he can do. Coming out here when little more than a boy, he was for many years employed as u hunter by the ol Overlund stage company Even in those times he enjoved the reputation of being one of the uerviest and coolest men among the old race of fronticrsmen, which is fast be- coming extinct, and wl$o as a supert shot. No Indian ever knew these mountains as well as Mr. Huston. Foradozen years or more has had & ranch on Cow ereck, cightecn les below Saratoga, and right under the shadow of the loftiest perch of the cout nental divide. His home was until the pres- ent season the outtitting powt for partics of wealthy Englishmen, who made long jour- neys from thele own' homes or distant lands to'enjoy under his leadership sport which they assert ean nowhere be equalled. But his” career_as a guide is ended, he de- No longer has the 'fee of a day, which ne received for divecting a season's campaign on many occasions in the vast, any temptation 1o bim to act as a guide. He says thav othor and youuger men must take his place, although none can be found who will bo comparable substitute. So long as he lives, though, Mr. Huston wil' continue to_add to the storics of remarkable hunting trips and wondetful shots which huve earncd for him his present celebrity as a huntsman, All Kinds of Game Abound. It is unuecessary to enumerate all the kinds of gamo that can be found in the region ro- forred to. Everything but buffalo ubounds. The Upper Platte vailey once furnished pas- turage for countless bison: but they are all gone now. With the settlement of the valley the bie banas of elk, autclope, deer and mountain sheep were driven out and across the Atlantic to the Pacific slope of the range, where they now ruu by the thousands, Here ‘and there a smal! and scattered band can_be found on this side of the Sierra, but for the most part they must be looked for in the unsettled country beyoud. In that pict- uresque reglon a lover of the hunt can be satiated. However ambitious one may be for exciting sport and plenty of it, thero 1s o danger that his fondest hopes or wishes will not_ be realized, The ouly condition im posed 15 that a guido must be taken in- orde: 1o insure the good fortune of which so many visitors there ve been able to boast. What mukes this region especially advan tageous is its easy accessibility from the main traveled routes. It is only thirty-six miles from Rawlins on the line of the Union Pacific railway to Saratoga. The trip can be speedily and comfortably made in exc leut Concord coaches arawn by six horses with reluys. AU thispowt o party can outfit. Then they have their choice of cither making 4 $hort cut across the mountain on horse- back and pack in their supplies, or clso_ pas over the range with wagons by a less divect route. In any event there are no long drives or rides to get into the heart of the hunting grounds, This makes a campaign inex- pensive. At Saratogn everything needful can be procured for such an outing. Stores of il kinds can be luid in as cheaply as at points on the line of the railroad. Wagons or pack outfits are to be hirea at reasonable prices for a long or short period. Plenty of saddle horses ean be bought or hired. Good guide make their headquarters at Saratoga and cooxs und other men needful for o big expedi- tion cun be engaged here, How to Cross the Rang For_a large party composed of those who can afford the timo to take things leisurely verhaps the best plan is to transport the nec- essary eamp equipage and supplies by wagon, Then’ the route will lie down the valley on the west siae of the Platte as far as Big Creek, which is forty miles south of Sara- togn. 'There is u good road nil the way and along which the mail line runs. The Grand Encampment is the only stream to bo crossed. “That is o big creek but hus & good bridgo over it t Big Creek the road connects with one from Luramie which leads up over the mountains to Hahn's Peak. A company has bean engazed in extensive mining operations at the Peak for a number of years and haul provisions and other supplies over this road in big teams. There is thick timber all the wuy up and down the mountain to Hahn's Peak. Duriug the winter there are wind- falls but these car. be easily cut out. The feed is good the entire distance. A lot of little parks aloug this routo ar admirably adapted for camping places, Game iabounds in these parks and the coun tey is full of antelope for hundreds of miles Many of them emigrated from the Platte val: ley und increased both the number and size of the bunds that had mude their bome thero It is cusy enough to kill all the antelope you want in that section because the animals visit the big licks sprinkied about in the numerous parks Thero s nly one way for them w ot into the purks to gain access to the licks and ne to get out. As daily visits are made there, oo can time the advent of Mr. Aute- lope, and he is a poor shot who ecan't bring down oue or more of the band as it goes trooping through the passos in or out of ' the parks. else in the moun fishing ad vantage in our own country. season was across egion bey gun to mak ground ve are anxious to Re mem: where season the scen: passed region Plenty of Grouse.

A woman can’t ocking o a deer or el under such circumstances if she isu't afraid to shoot at them. “Its @ won- derful country for a poor shoot,” as Mr Huston pithily summarizes the advantages of nunting there. Smull lukes are sprinkled about the coun- try and are alive with ducks and geese in the spring and full.

Here und there scattered baad of mountain sheep are found on the Pacitic slope, the sur vivors of thousands that once dwelt among the cliffs. Oue band of about forty is kuown to have wintered on the Atlantic slope und the venturesome hunter who hankers after exciting sport can pet his fill by chasing through the gorges after them within twenty- five miles of Saratoga. But it would > @ hazardous undertaking to make a campaign for these animals on cither slope without the services of u guide. Can't Lose Any Bea As for big game one can have a brush with bruin without having to go far provided a competent guide is procured.

He went in with an ontfitof one hundred men and a wagon train and string of pack animals of his own. It was purely a pleasure trip for him but the big caravau af- forded any amount of umusement to tho ol timo hunters and trappers. Sir George tried his best to tempt all the noted fronticrsmen 10 join his retinue but his wealth could not command tueir servicos. He succeeded in taking out with him a store of skins and hides but on account of hiring cheap mon with little experience he did not have as good luck nor as satisfactory sport in hunting big game as others of his countrymen who have goue out in swall partio Oue of the best known Englishmen in this section who has passed many seasons in the ierru Madres and adiacent country is Frank Cooper. His country place called Bulwell Hall, near Nottingham, was adorned with so many trophies of the chase as to excite the envy of hunters who had tried the game of almost every clime. Five years ago when Mr. Cooper” returned homd he shipped to England 108 bear skins, These were all taken from ammals killed in his campaign in the rea Madres during o period of thiree or four years. Of the number forty- eight were from bear, taken in_one season by Mr. Coover aud ' Mr. Huston. An apartment in Bulwell Hall one hun- ared fect loug and thirty feot wide was carpeted with rugs made from theso Wyoming bear skius and some of the finest specimons were hung on the walls of big halls, Visitors to Mr. Cooper's place A this exhibition as the finest of its kind ever made in eland. But everyboay who goes into the moun- mMust not expes such good luck as that of Mr. Cooper. In the first place he hud the good fortune to be piloted to bruins' dens by Mr. Huston. The latter seldom if ever wissed killing a bear although, us a rule, ho took the last shot when acting as guide, It was usually the case that it was a ball from Huston’s Winchester that settled a bear that was scared up for the benefit of his En- glish hunters, It was through Mr. Cooper that the bear wager previously referred to came w be posted. Ho ovideitly had too much faith in the skl of s old guide to caro to throw away 10,000, He suggested that there were plenty of Enghshmen who would bo sufliciently ‘ineredulous regarding the ability of one man to kill fifty bear in a siugle season und would risk that amount of money to buck up theie belief. But no one has yet tried to win that rauch on any such deal “The bunter who sets about it right can start u collection of bear skins by svending a month or more in tho locality which was the scene of Mr. Cooper's exploits. Any one of & half dozen men who huve secen service in the mountains can be engaged to accompany a party with the certainty of being able to put the hunter in the way of securing u num- ber of bear, They are to be found on both slopes of the ran Ou the Pacific siae grizzlies that will weigh from S00 to pounds, Men who ure competent to cor paro theso with the California grizzly say they are similar iu all vespects save that the product of the Golden state is bigger.

The usual custom is to pack nto the bear country what game is necded aud be content with shooting grouso and other birds with guns or revolvers of small calibre which ao not make a loud re. port. In this way the eamp can be suppiied with fresh meat and no risk run of giving the bear too mwuch notice that they are wanted, Great Spo.t (i ish n Disciples of Izank Welton will find in the streams on the Pacific slopo us good Sport s they desire, S utitic avglers cuunot dis- pute the fact thut in some of the streams are fish as gamoy s any that were ever coaxed to rise.

The fish vite so fast in the lake that the genuine sportsman would as soon think of contenting himself with casting in a pond at a natetiery as to waste his time with such eager nivblers. Eusy to Reach the Pretty fake. There arc no drawbacks in making the trip from Suratoga to Battle Lake. The shortest routes lead over a number of old trails that start in from the foot ills ten to twenty miles below this town, To o by oue or the other of these routes a party must be guided by a man familiar with the mountains, “The trails are plain for a part of the way but a stranger is likely to come on a plac where he would bo perplexed to find an oat- let and might get lost. Auuoyances of this sort are due to the fallen timber which blo the trail at long or short, intervals. Yeurs ago the Indians fired the pine forests to drive out the game, and the timber has just begun to fall. But' any guide who is recom- mended in Saratoga can bo depended upon to pilot a party with due diligence and sate Some of these routes to which reference hits been made wore originally made by elk and follow along on the backbone of the moun- tain, The distanco across the range by the elk trails 1s only eight or ten miles, The safest plan and the besi, provided women are iu tie party, is to drive down to of Swan, uear the bridge which es tho Grand Encampmeut creek twent; milessouth of Saratoga. Here the wago can be left, pack snimals londed with the tents and camp outfit, and the journey re- sumed over an excellent and oasy graded trail which follows up between. the ¢ eucampment und Cow creek. This part of the trip must be made on horscback and the distance is ubout fifteen miles from Swan, “There is another trml which branches off from the highway on tho west side of the Platte a few miles below Suratoga. which the board of trade talks of fixing up. There is a hunting camp on this_route and a sub stantial log house was built several years ago in_a pretty park where there are good springs and pasturaco for considerable stock at all scasons. How soon this proposed routo will be laid off or improved has not yet been determined, but there is u chance that it will be available so that wo men could go over itlater in the season. In its present condition it is hurdly fit fora party to travel over unless those comprising it are good horsemen, Besides the proposed short cut the Saratoga. people are perfecting plans for building a permanent camp at Battle Luake for the ac- commodation of pleasure scokers, Lustic buildings of a substantial character ure to be coustructed of logs and large enough to afford shelter for muny people.
