Abandoned Shafts Full Of Water Fur
nish Habitat for Thousands of the
Finny Ones.

ALLENTOWN, Pa. March lie
high county boasts of the most unique
fish culture plant in the country.
Years ago, when the failure of Jay
! Cooke & Co., of New York, closed ev
cry hematite ore mine in this county
the pits, which cover many acres
OF ground and range in depth from &c
to 100 feet, began to fill up with water
and in that condition they have re
NAMED ever since.
One day a boy conceived the idea
that these ore mines would be idea
breeding places for fish. He had read
book on fish culture, and he noticed
that a particular pit had the kind
of aquatic vegetation which the book
said was necessary So he caught a
lot of sunfsh, catfish, suckers, cells and
clubs and dumped them into the
waters or the pit and forgot all about
it.
These fish undisturbed for several
years, multiplied with amazing rapid
ity. Several years later a fisherman
on his way home from a trout stream
happened to pass this particular spot
and merely as joke he baited his
hook with worms and made a cast
He had scarcely done SO when his
reel commenced to sing and to his
great amaZement he pulled out two
enormous sunfish. Inside OF half an
hour he had filled his creel.
He made a quiet investigation, and
readily obtained permission from the
owners of the pits to experiment in
fish culture. He commenced to plant
black bass and yellow perch.
He went about it secretly and the
owners, who did not want to be annoy
ed by applicants for fishing privileges,
also kept quiet. Today these pits
fairly TEEN with fish.
In the shallow pits the same enter
prising individual introduced land ter
rapin, which are now bringing in a
substantial revenue.
Black bass thrive better in these pits
than any other fish. They grow to
enormous size, and the GOODNESS and
purity of the water gives them not
only gameness but solidity of flesh
which they do not acquire in the fin
est bass streams in the state.
