COLONIES OF MAINE FISHERMEN FISHING THROUGH
THE ICE NIGHT AND DAY.
From the Lewiston Journal
Not the least important Of the winter Industries
OF Bath is the business of catching smelts Every
man with trade, temporarily uk mployed, rigs
out three or four smelt lines and the river
In quest Of the mighty dollar through the shining
little 6inch smelt. Thus 1t Is that to-day not less
than one hundred and fifty men and boys occupy
Ing not more than acres OF ice In "Back River"
are making money One little fellow, about thir-
teen or fourteen years or age, has for the past
Week realized $5 per day; but there are men on
the Ice who flshed before he was born who are not
doing so we'll The men enter into partnership
and construct little cabin over their hole in the
ice These cabins defy description. stout frame
Is made, and this Is covered with anything OBJ
tainabe, no matter what 1t is, provided it will
keep out the cold
There are about seventy-fve OF these cabins
fishes all day, while the other fishes all night.
Beside these there ale many who fish unprotected
by shelter. and frozen fingers, &C.. often result.
The catch this season has been very far. Good
fishermen have thus far averaged about so pounds
per day.
What becomes Of them? Well that depends
largely upon the condition OF the catCher's finan-
ceS. II he can wait few days for his money he
Will send them to Boston or New York and get 10
or 10 cents a pound but II he is In need OF ready
money, then there is no Other resort than to sell
them to the local markets at or cents pound,
or 10 SPECTATORS on the Ice at cents per pound.
These Spectators are shrewd fellows. They enter
the settlement with baskets and scales, buy the
Hsh ob the spot at 5 cents. ana SEND them TO BOs-
ton and receive 10 for them. There are three or
-FOUR OF these fellows, and as one OF them told me
that he sent away over 600 pounds every day last
week, II can easily be seen that he can AFFORD to
take a long vacation next summer.
But some OF the fishermen are sharp, too, and
send their FISH away on the cooperative plan, and
10 make good thing. But they fear lest the mar
kets should be flooded and 50 keep the destination
OF the fish as quiet as possible. / heard one man
growing away at great rate Tuesday morning
lie said: I'm not going to sell my fish at } cents
pound 10 these men, and let them triple their
money. I'll throw them overheard first" "Why
don't you send them away yourSelf?" asked
That's II, it's because don't know where to send
Them" The season will continue for about six
weeks longer. At present many OF the men are
making from 50 to s. per day, and are, cOnse-
quently, well satisfied with their lot.
