Sun recently said about the Silver
Mine dam, which was reproduced in
last weeks REGISTER, the Frederick
town Democrat News says: s'We

fish in their end of the stream, as
Madison countyans do down here.

dynamiters. Fishing would be better
in the waters south of Bismarck but
for the destruction of the baby fish,"
