GAME IN Mono CouNTY.-A correspondent
of the Tuoumue Courier, writing from Mono
county, gives the annexed iattering dtscrir-
| tion of the inducements for sportsmen to visit
that portion of the state:
Owing to the alkaline qualities of the wat
ers of Mono lake proper, there are no fish ;;
nor are fish found in Silver Lake, where the
water is less of an alkaline quality; but in
upper and lower Walkers lakes, the fish lit
orally swarm-trout, perch, suckers, sun-tish,
and many other varieties. The trout espe-
cinlly grow to an enormous size frequently
AS long and as thick as mans leg, and weigh
frequently twenty to twenty pounds. |
have not observed any variety of cat~tish,
however, among the piscne race Amongst
the timber which generally surrounds the
lakes and mountain streams Of Mono county,
grouse is plenty; whilst on the mountains,
deer, bear, aud in the more craggy parts,
mountain sheep (the veritable big horn of the
Rocky Mountains) are frequently seen, but
not often shot. They are as Wild, and as
hard to get at as the Alpine Chamois. On
the plains, sage hen, ducks, geese, brandt,
gulls and other water fowl, near the rivers
| and Iakesa wherever sage brush or swamps
occur. Antelopes in bands are not unlre-
quently seen, and good shot can often oh
tain these delicacies for the table. Besides
these, many varieties of game can be obtained
both on the mountains and on the plains and
valleys.
