Caspian Lake.

Real estate around the shores of Cas-
plan lake is becoming more valuable
each succee ding year. People in that
town are inst beginning to realize what
a mine OF wealth the lake is. As a
popular summer resort Caspian Lake
has an assured future Hardwick
Gazette.
But the fishing more than the natural
beauty of the lake attracted people to
Gre ensboro. The mine" is beneath the
waters rather than in restiul scene
spread before the eyes. and the mine
has been developed through the efforts OF
the fish and game commissioners. Stock.
ing Caspian lake with trout, lake trout
and landlocked salmon has been a good
investment, and has probably increased
the value OF property around the lake
more in FIVE years than the entire amount

for the entire state in that time, to say
