Bui the beet kuowu instances of
the ability of domesticated aui-
male to d<> without water are re*
lateJ in this country of the sheep,
the ooutine of our Big Hofu. For
mauy years the great dry divide

was an unlenced area, a tort of
oommoni, on which aiiyoR* might
wander with hie herds and flocaa
It was backward in development
for the very reason that it was so
dry, and becauie it wae so exceed-
ingly expensive to bore welle end

Probably in I860 l wai told by
frapc»e Rooney, then living at the
I/spncito Spring*, and now living
ip Brewster county, that a herd of
pbeut 15 Big Horne bad been then
recently soon in the Ulaaf Moun*
taiuf, on the border between Pecos
pouuty aud the present county of
Burster. If they have been eecn re-
pontly I have not beerd of it. lu-
mped I hays heard it doubted if
UigfU^were ever any Big H«rn in
thee# mountain*, the oauee for the
dou^t being Stated as the entire
^kaaaae of water iu these moon-
{sine. IpagnotvowQh pyreonally
for the corruatougaof the ataUmeat
|hat there i$ no ^iviug water in
tbyte ^ouutaine, bat (t ia t think
iiyuraally $o conoeded, and I
yet fofiud V* heard of
anyfbtre. But fhfr <lii»aitioo
^f a^nitted, ooulf
• beep. It fnrihnr aeema to be a
law of naturo, that the plauts
which grow in a acmi-nrid country
aro fitted to stor.* up and retain
moisture in their auoculont part
during a time of drouth better
than those of a moiater clmate.
Now these conditions prevail in
the Glass Mountains to au even
greater extent than on the great
lain aido while they remain leug
afterwards dry and sup loss on the
low Wide valleys. This ia true of
these mountains. Theu too the
•now mey be eaeu in winter often
whitening their sides while there
hue been little or no precipitation
iu the lowor country. B-side*
this while there may be no springe
or other living water in these Si-
erras, there are midonhtedly there
aa elsewhere tu this country in
similar geological formatione—
‘‘tinajrte" or rock "pot holes" into
whioh water will gather after every
slight rain fall or even dew, and
which muet oontain water all
through the ruiny seasou, which
generally laete with na from dune
until Novumber.
These are ooueideratioua which
induce me to think there la no
reason to doubt that the Big Horn
oouid live now io the Qlaee moun*
urns/ That they havu lived there
in tome time net far distant wa
know from their remains #bieh
have been found. 1 have myself
found two old rume horns iu the
hillg of these mountains at differ-
ent times and I havu heard of
grated by hi* (Kicks. When that
happens, no man will be ooneider*
ate enough to make an effort to
preserve three animal*, and they
will go aa the Buffalo ha* goue.
