When it comes to casting delicate
tinted fly on the surface of the trou-
Pine river fisherman who Sunday
cool depths pulling thence member
of the finny tribe of varied breeds
and sizes, Henry Pulvermiller is there
like ave almost said duck, but will
make it pelican. Henry is the only
Pine rive fisherman who yesterday
made his salt fishing from the region
at Bayfield, to the upper waters at
the Vallecitio. Stories of hard luck,
no biting, big ones getting off the
hook, came into town last night as
fast as the cars of fisher folk could
bring them. But not so with Henry.

brook trout, the largest one weighing
2 1-2 pounds, caught with flies,
and in places that others had fished
over.
A new saw mill will soon be added
to the local industries tributary to
Mancos. George Mills, George Carr,
and Mcmillan Brothers of Denver
have just completed arrangements
with w. II. Buck, whereby Mr. Buck
has contracted to put in a saw mill
in their body of timber lying between
Turkey creek and Lost Canon to cut
their timber into lumber. There arc
eight quarter sections of land in this
body and it is estimated that there
is at least ten million feet of timber,
board measure, on the land, consti-
tuting as it does the finest unbroken
areas of timber in the county. 1t is
proposed to put in a mill that will
cut from 10000 to $1,000 feet of lum-
ber day, thus keeping it busy four
,, or five years. The work of putting
in the mill will start at once and it
is planned to get it in running order
before winter sets in so that it can be
operated this winter, says the Mon
costumes Tribune.
