STURGEON FISHING.
Capturing HaIf-TOn Fishes Is No
PinhoOIS Recreation.

Capturing Half-TOn Fishes Is No
PinhOoiS Recreation.
From the Toronto Globe.
l saw a sturgeon in Victoria on the
Cannery floor measuring twelve feet
by the tape and weighing more than
COO pounds. Any one wishing to de-
ceive the public by aid of prevaricat-
ing camera should posi- beside this
twelve-foot fish. The men who skill
fully and laboriously reduced it TO sec
lions with an ak said it was not an
uncommon fish. though the biggest on
the floor; that they often found them
far larger and weighing as much as
200 pounds
Two men lifting a half-ton fish into
their boat is the exciting feature OF
sturgeon fishing. The sturgeon, if not
fastened in his thick hide is apt to
resent it. He shakes his head in en-
phatBc dissent; and a head threa feet
long and as big as a log, when vigor-
ously shaken by a half-ton body, Is a
thing to be avoided. The tail, too, is
source of danger, for it not only
slapS with energy, but can cover a.
large surface with enc application. The
man new ait the business is apt to get
hurt the first time he helps to coax
a wriggling sturgeon of standard size
over gunwale.
On the floor of the cannery is a great
inert mass of flesh. The first operation
of the butcher is to chop off the head
and tail With an ak. and for these free
gifts of nature the Indian and China
man are eagerly waiting at the door.
The fins are cut off with a hnfe. and
these are not allowed to go to waste.
AS the refuse is shoVeled along the
planks to the river there is little al
lowed 90 pass the coast native and his
cousin of the braided hair ChiIamen
potter around the place and help to
clear away the refuse for the sake Of
what they can CLEAN, and have a weak
ness for taking parts not intended for
the river. When such Monaghan tricks
are discovered the Cinnamon are all
driven out with more noise than cere-
mony but they take their expulsion
with Oriental Indifference, and in IA few
minutes are all back. again.
