STURGEON A KLONDIKE.
Bayside Fishermen Excited by Extra
ordinary Catch.

Bayside, n. J., May 2o.-The excite
ment attending a great strike of gold in
the Kiondike could be no more intense
than that which is lowering over the
rude camp of the sturgeon fishermen
Yesterday it was at its highest tension.
for a record breaking catch was made,
Not in a dozen years has there been
such a run of the big, 2ro6table fisk.
One boats crew after another landed
with two or three big ones, and then
moved out into the bay again for an
other haul This was kept up through
out the day, and when night fell most
of the crews had from 40 to so fish.
As roe is fetching more than dollar
pound the fishermen had a great jubi-
lation last night
For several years, for no known cause
the run of sturgeon in the~DelaWare bay
has been gradually falling off, till many
Of the fishermen have abandoned the
business and sold out their rigging and
boats. The catch has been so light that
there was no profit in it. and caviar
gradually rose in price till now it Is
worth on the Wharves at the camp $110
per key As a good-sized sturgeon will
yield more than half key of the prod
uet the cause of the excitement among
the fishermen can be seen at once
