The round up of the remainder of the Pablo buffalo herd, which has been purchased by Canada, will be resumed next week by Michel Pablo and his team of twelve riders. G. H. Beckwith, a merchant from St. Ignatius who was in the city yesterday, said that fully ISO animals remain on the aeservation. These are the wildest brutes of the herd they escaped the four previous round-ups. and it will take almost super human efforts to put them in the cars at Ravalli, the shipping point. "Pablo has made careful for this final round-up and is confi dent that he will deliver every every animal to the Canadian government," said Mr. Beckwith. "The Canadian commissioner has arrived at Ravalli and will remain until the shipment is made. Pablo has secured twenty new mounts, every one of great endurance and all trained cow-horses. His riders have been picked with care, and besides possessing great recklessness are familiar with ways of the buffalo. "Thirty miles above Rovalli, at a horseshoe bend in the Jaco river, a big boom has been through across the stream, and on the east side big corrals have been built. These lead into smaller corrals and finelly in the loading chutes, it is the intention of Pablo to drive the animals from their accustomed range to the river, urge them across, and the boom will deflect then into the pastures."— ••.
