was a visitor in the capital for short
time last evening and this morning.
Mr.. Hosselkus IS the great authority
on fish culture in the west and has
furnished many thousands of trout TO
New Mexico in the past few years.
He is on his way home from Captain,
Lincoln county, where he delivered
1000 large mouthed bass to the keep
ers of the lakes of the Ell Paso and
Northeastern railroad. These fish
were obtained from lakes near Gret-
ma, Nebraska, and although many
were year old and from six to eight
inches long, tney arrived at their des-
tination with the loss of only twenty.
Game Warden Thomas P. Gable says
that considering the facilities this is a
remarkably low percentage of loss.
This is not the first time, however,
that Mr. Hosselkus has accomplished
transportation feats. He has made
shipments of eyed fish eggs to Ger
many and Japan with the paltry loss
of ten per cent. The fish just deliver
ed will spawn next month, which
means that the water receiving them
will soon have as many fish as it can
support The bass were seined from
the Nebraska lake with a seine forty
feet in length drawn by horses and
were transported in large tubs.
The large mouthed black bass and
ordinary catfish, says Mr.. Gable,
'are we'll adapted to the waters of
central and southern New Mexico and
to his mind make the ideal stock for
private ponds. Mr. Hosselkus does
not hatch bass in his hatchery in Co
dorado, but has contracts to obtain
them. He has furnished over 100000
eyed eggs of the Mountain and Rain
bow trout to the state of Colorado
alone. He called on Governor Nc
Donald in regard to bass Tor New
Mexico streams and the matter was
taken under advisement. 1t is neces-
sary to order ahead as Mr.. Hosselkus
does not hatch fish unless especially
ordered. He prefers to ship eyed
Eyed" eggs are the spawn advanced
to the point of eye development and
means the shipment of fertile eggs
only.
