Sale Of Provincial Fishing Leases.

A more representative company Of Ameri-
eau and Canadian s%portsmen has probably
never before assembled IN Canada than that
present in the Parliament house at Quebec
recently at the sale Of provincial fishing
leases.
The receipts from sales Of annual rentals

by the government, although many Of the
Labrador salmon rivers advertised for sale
were Withdrawn at the upset price. This Is
due TO tire difficulty Of reaching them and TO
the little that is definitely known OF them,
though they are believed 10 be well stocked
with fish.
Some Of them ARE quite small, however,
and a few are knows 70 have cataracts near
their estuaries, while the fishing rights In the
lower six miles Of all Of them are disputed by
the proprietors NJ the Mignnn Signora. and
30 the little Iecat,na, the Kegashka, the Goa

and those TINT we're sold were principally
taken by Judge Dugas, Of Montreal, and j..

last summer In exploring the northern coast

his voice was never ralsel In song again gives
this fact a peculiar significance. His illness
grew worse, lscaIn. serious, and in less than
