BIG CATCH OF FEATHERS.
The McCutche8L Brothers Make Over
 l3 $7O0O on Egret PIumage.

c. W. McCutcheon, one of the seven brothers who have been busy hunting for the feathers of rare birds which inhabit Madelaine Bay, Lower California, is in the city, says the San Francisco CG0. MT. McCutcheon and his brothers have been hunting there during the en- tire season.
 They have taken a big quantity of the feathers of the egret, heron, cider duck and other birds. The feathers are of rare value, and are used to decoratethe finest millinery. Many of them will be sent to Fran. ce, London. Berlin and other fash ionable centers of Europe, and then, as likely as not, will come back to. this city and cost enormous figures. This has frequently been the case in the past.
 The egret feathers are worth $32 pound in San Francisco, and none of the other feathers are worth less than $5 or $6 pound. Made laine Bay is celebrated place for hunting these birds. The main land of Mexico for the last two or three years has been prolific ofthese birds, but so many hunters went in that Sinaloa, Sonora and bunting- grounds are now largely depicted of these birds.
 Madelaine Bay. however, is a comparatively new discovery of the hunters. This place the birds frequent on their annual pilgrim ages from their native grounds in the north. As "a result skilled hunters, among them the McCdtcheon brothers, have gone there and have been we'll repaid. This bay is larger than the bay of San Francisco, and all admit it is wilderness. Only in one place, so it is stated is there any settlement, and that consists of but three or four houses.
 The McCutcheon brothers gre credited with getting feathers this year of the value of over $700O. MT. McCutcheon has been visiting SaR Diego and will now go,to Stockton for short time. His brothers are expected here in few days:
 The brothers are experienced and very skiIlful hunters. Probably there are none better on the Pacific Coast, and it is $ question if any one besides Hamlin Smith, the White Chief of the Cocopahs, also feather-hunter, is their equal, The McCutcheon brothers are not inclined to go into details as to their mode of taking the feathers. They use guns along shore and out in the bay and employ native hunters as 1t may seem advantage ous -San Diggo World.
