A new state fish hatchery 10 pro-
vided for Gunnison, to be located three
miles north Of town at the well known
"Silver Springs" that rise ut the foot
Of the hill on the Anderson and Curtis
ranches, and flow under the county
road. Geo. Anderson and w. L. Cur
tbs, who own this land, have agreed to
donate q sufficient site, the springs
rising on Mr.. Anderson's ground. but
flowing across 80 that ponds would
land.
The governor has signed Represen-
tatives Thompson's bill for $500 to
build this hatchery, which with the
warm springs attached, should make
. very successful state institution.
The old hatchery at the west of town,
was handicapped by extremely cold
water, which delayed the matches Of
trout eggs. 1t now has been discov-
cred that warm spring water is much
superior, which accounts for the sue
cess Of the Pitkin hatchery.
This legislature has provided for
four other state hatcheries. The rev.
enues Of the game and fish department
now run to $l61 900 q year from licen-
ses and fees, which enables the de-
partment to take care OF many addi-
taona spawning stations and hatch.
