 BLACK BASS BITING
 GOOD AT ROOSEVELT

Sportsmen throughout the valley will rejoice at the good news that came down from Roosevelt Lake last even ing to the effect that the big mouth black bass now running in large schools. and fishermen are getting big catches on artificial bait.
 During the last few days, people coming down from the dam have re- peatedly spoke of the large fish that had been caught in the lake. but owing to the number of fish stories that are generally in circulation about this time Of the year. Phoenix sportsmen didn't pay much attention.
 However. it's true the fish are bit ing the best ever. not only at Roosevelt but all along the river at such places as Blue Point, Granite Reef, Joint Head, and on down as far as the Buckeye dam.
 There has been hundreds of enthusi- astic fishermen in this city who have requested local sporting goods stores to notify them as soon as the fishing was reported good Roosevelt Lake, and of course now that this is real ity it means that slots of sportsmen will journey up to the dam to take advantage of the big fish strike.
 Q. F. Beutke, manager of the Union Auto Stage line. stated last night that he was having trouble with his drivers trying to keep them from stopping off at Roosevelt in order to get a few hours of good fishing. instead of get ting the passengers through To Globe and Miami on scheduled time.
 The old experienced fishermen who have come to the lake from all parts of the continent in an effort to fol- low their occupation of taking out fishing parties in their gasoline launches. are now busy trying to get everything in readiness for d record season.
