Capt. James TrezOna

Supt. Chas. Trezona returned
Sunday from North Yakima, Wash.
where he had been to attend the
funeral of his brother, James Ire
IONA. In addition to Supt. Ire
IONA. brother and other relatives
from the Mesaba range were also
present.
Captain James Trezona was a
veteran mining man of the Mesaba
range and was well known. He
resided there up to about year
ago when he went to Yakima and
has since conducted fruit farm.
He began work in the mines as a
boy in the old country. He was
one of family of nine sons and
one daughter, and was born near
Cambourne, England. The family
came to America in 1860, but
James did not arrive in this country
until 1862. The Captain first
located in the copper country,
where he worked in the mines for
fifteen months. He then went to
Colorado, from there to Utah, later
to Nevada, and then to California.
He remained in the west for a
number of years, and then worked
in the iron mines of New Jersey.
Later he returned to the west and
worked for four years in the Calu-
met & Hecla mine While holding
a position there he was appointed
captain of the Pence and Hennepin
mines on the Gogebic range, and
he was later made superintendent
of the Sunday Lake mine, at Wake
field. After remaining there seven
years he became manager of the
Comet mine.
Captain Trezona's first position
on the Mesaba range was that of
superintendent of the Shenango
mine. He went from there to the
big Fayal property, lat Eveleth,
which was then operated under the
supervision of Capt. John Moon.
He was at the Fayal when he decid-
ed to retire from the mining bust
ness.
During his many years service in
the mines of the Lake Superior
country. Captain Trezona trained
many young men and secured good
positions for them. He always re-
ferred to these young men as my
boys" The veteran captain had
many warm friends among the
mining men in the district.

trout has gouged hole in the sand
and gravel and deposited her eggs.
The hole is carefully covered and
the spawn left to be Matched by
tepid waters and warmth from the
earth. The female trout will de-
post from 1000 to 1850 eggs OF
spawn in season. Gathered and
taken to the hatchery they will
hatch in sixty days with water at a
temperature of forty eight degrees.
Thirty days after they begin to
move about beef liver is fed and the
long tanks, filled with running
water, show signs of activity.
When thestrout get to be an inch
and half in length, they are ready
for transplanting to open waters,
and are called fingerlings." In
two years they grow to be small
sized fish, large enough to eat, and
in three years they become full
grown.
The wall-eyed pike-which re-
semble bass and are just as pala-
table, are the cannibals of fshdom.
When the pike fry get to be large
enough to move about with ease,
civil war begins and the rate of ex-
termination is measured by the
gluttonous appetites of the COM
batants. When young pike be-
comes hungry, he turns to his
nearest companion and begins to
eat him, taking a bite out of which
ever part he first touches. Activity
of men in charge of the Matching
tanks does not stop them, and the
only way to prevent the fry intact,
is to move them to open waters
where there is opportunity for
escape or free-and-easy room for an
uninterrupted fight.
The female pike is the greatest
producer of eggs or spawn of any
game fish in America. Large pike
have been taken from Minnesota
streams and lakes which produced
one quart of eggs, In this quart,
there are approximately 100000
spawn. Crews sent out from the
state fish hatcheries catch the pike
and strip the eggs from them.
Left undisturbed in their native
streams, the mother pike deposits
her eggs nearly in the current, and
allows them to drift and lodge
where they will. In the Matching
tanks at a temperature of forty
eight degrees, the eggs hatch in
eighteen to twenty days, and by
the time the little pike are IL to IA
days old, they playfully begin
eating each other. Then they are
hurried from the hatchery as rapidly
as possible, to their future homes
in the open waters.

Aside from the financial success
and the assurance of a handsome

ABOUT FISH
Some Interesting Facts
Concerning Fishing and
Fish

One hundred million wall-eyed
pike and four million brook trout
have been distributed throughout
the lakes and streams of Minnesota
this year. The distribution of this
vast number of young fish is just
about completed and means much
to the sportsmen of the state. Ac-
cording to the figures compiled by
the commission having these mat
tiers in charge there have been
planted in waters of the state the
vast sum of 376,573, 700 small fish
in the past seven years.
The lakes in this vicinity have
received a share of-these fry a large
number being planted last week.
With the establishment of small
hatchery at Pipestone Falls about
four million pike would come to a
successful issue and if planted in
the waters hereabouts would in a
few years stock the lakes, and
make these fishing grounds better
than any in existence. We already
have the fsherman's paradise here
but of late years, owing to lack of
proper protection, the dynamiter
and METER have made inroads on
the supply of fish in some lakes
which natural sources have not
been able to stock. The poacher
has been ably assisted by the sucker
and pickerel which two species of
fish practically clean up the fish
spawn as fast as deposited. There
are several dozen lakes that have
not been touched by either angler
or poacher in this country but we
speak of the lakes in the immediate
vicinity and easily reached. With
the protection at present given and
the stocking of the lakes this con-
dition has been overcome and good
fishing is found in all the lakes.
Planting approximately AGO.

and caring for big, game, has cost
Minnesota $755.232.64 during the

and the two complies lived happily
ever after.
AS the landlord and the servants
of the Hardcastles and NARROW,
John Rautio, Alfred Skogland
John Martilla. Earl Fenske, Kim
ball Hawkey, Perry Simpson, Edel
Ellefsen and Allie Meitunnen, did
well and divided honors with the
stars of the cast.
To the credit of those taking
part it must be said there was not a
poor character in the play and
while some did better than others
suffice it to say that the production
was anything but amateurish.
The High School orchestra
under the direction of Miss Sober
ger furnished excellent music
between the acts. The costumes
worn during the evening had been
secured from a Minneapolis cos
tuner at heavy expense. The
players were coached by Miss
Phelps assisted by Miss Doney and
Prof. Adkins. Ida Porthan was
business manager, Nora Kurvinen
stage manager and Elvira Lindbeck
had charge of the costuming.
Raub James, at the close of the
production came before the curtain
and addressed the audience. In a
few well chosen words he thanked
them on behalf of the class for their
patronage and appreciation and
promised them a handsome
memorial of the class of ~.

the street and it seems was in the
act of closing the gate when the
shot was fired. All indications
and the place the body was found
pointed to this theory. The team
was a short time later discovered
idly browsing along the road and
the body was discovered.
The reasons for thesfoul act
were a mystery as was also the
identity of the person firing the
shot. It is claimed Makela had
not an enemy anywhere but it was
presumed the affair was the out
come of the neighborhood quarrel
had among the farmers of the
district about year ago. Later
developments however pointed to
