$50, 900 salmon trout, 125, 900 whitcfish
10000 nd-locked salmon, $4,000 Cali
fornia salmon, $4,000 brook. trout, and
100000 wall-eyed pike, or nearly q
million and half in all. The question

fish, known as cisco, in immense abun
dance, which can only be captured dur
ing few days in the year, but which
abound throughout the year in the deer
waters accessible to the fish large enough
| TO devour them.
