of the Shasta County copper belt. which
is at least thirty miles long and has
width of several miles, and Is rich in
many places. Local gossip connects

The GAME LAWS OF
STATE OF NEVADA
SHOULD BE CAREFULLY NOTED
BY ALL INCLINED TO
HUNT.

Nevada is one of the few States
not requiring licenses to be taken
out for hunting, but it has pretty
good game laws which limit the close
season and forbid the expectation OF
game of almost every kind. The close
season in Nevada for deer, antelope,
(malesJ, is from November 3 to
September Is; for female deer and
spotted fawn. antelope, all the year;
for quail, grouse. prairie chicken.
woodcock, snipe, plover. curlew
sandhill crane, duck, March to
Sept. 18th; dove, November to July
Is; swan, all the year. County com
missioners may change dates of close
seasons without altering length, for
deer, antelope or sage hens, OF
lengthen close seasons for any other
game in their respective counties
Nevada is one of the few States
which did not feel the need of new
game legislation last year, and most
of the others either considered o.
passed new laws. The bag limit in
Nevada is as follows; Three deer
three antelope a season; 30 quail
20 ducks, 20 sage hens. grouse,
plover and Is snipe day.
Doubtless the trainers of the bag
limit law and the no-export law act
ed wisely, but it is questionable
whether the laws are carefully OBJ
served. Resale of all game is pro.
hibited
AS the hunting season has just
opened-Se 15-it would be well
for nimrods, especially newcomers
who are unfamiliar with local sale
export and close seasons, as well as
the limit of bags. to note the laws
carefully.

ran to Sanford and said: 81 got the
