Darin? tlu fitonn, tho snnV vouched a tlopth of fiVc foci, followed by slecl and com leather, which paused the ponds to frcexe up, notwiithstatidinjr the faet thnt we had all thu men available trying to keep same cloar. Then again, the large amount of snow and the big slides which were coining down off the mountain were a con tinual menace to our water supply which necessitated keeping men at tho intakes of the flame and pipe line in order to keep the water running. The entire loss front all causes is estimated to be 028,500, which is in deed gratifying. We now have left in good condition at this station 10,."iSl,- 080 chinook fry and 1,9:18,700 sock- eye fry, making a total of 12,ilfl,7S0 fish on hand. Wo also have S:$i),0U0 eastern brook trout fry and eggs. Migration of Marked Salmon Fry. In my November report to your bodVt 1 gave an account of the in vestigation along the Columbia river in order to determine the migration of tho salmon fry which wore liber ated from the Honneville central hatchery on October 10. It will be remembered that tho fish were fol lowed and tlio last marked one in evi dence was taken at a point opjosite the mouih of the Willamett river. about J5 miles below the hatchery. On January 20, accompanied by Deputies Itathbun, Gor and Mitchell. I again took up this investigation. The first work was done at Tlainier. which is about 34 miles below the mouth of tho Willamette. The first haul was made near the doek at thnt place, where we succeeded in captur ing 21 cbiuook fry, three of which Were marked with tho mark used at the liouucville central hatchery, while one was marked with a silver wire in tho adipose fm, Which was the mark used by tho United States bureau ot fisheries. The next work was done on tho Washington side of the Columbia river, about 100 miles below the hatchery, where 2S fry were taken, six of which were marked with the Bonneville mark and one with a sil ver wire in the forward part of the dorsal fin, which is also the mark of tho United States bureau of fisheries. Proceeding on down the river, hauls were made nt different points and, in every instance, a number of marked fry were in evidence. Anient Dam Tronble. Wo have experienced considerable trouble at tho Anient dam owing to tho fact that the Chicago-Hogue Hiv er company reconstructed tlio dam last summer and being iu the hands of n receiver failed to provide an adequate passageway for fish over same, notwithstanding that they re peatedly promised that this work would bo done before the coming high water. Deputy Warden Sundry, after considerable hard work, succeeded M getting n temporary ladder installed which, in n measure, took care of the situntion while the river was too high for the fish to make use of the stato's fish ladder located on the south side of the riven Upon being informed as to tho conditions at that point, T in structed Deputy Warden Sundry to assist as many llt.li over tho obstruc tion by means of a net as possible, and I have since learned that a large number of silversido salmon were put over in this manner. I nrn later in formed by State Oamo Warden Fin ley and his deputy, Mr. Craig, who made n personal investigation of con ditions at tho dam a few days ago, that tho fish aro now taking readily to tho state's ladder and ascending the liver without any difficulty through this passageway, but there is still a largo number of fish being held up under tho dam on tho south side of tho river and I havo instructed War den Sundry to use every effort pos remedied at onco. Before iU ndournmeut, the Mivl ford Mining cougre-s adopted the fol lowing resolutiens: Iturcau of Mines. "Rofwlvcd, That we commend the splendid work of the Ame'rienn Min ing congress in the legislative crea tion of tho bureau of mines and for its assistmiOo anil work iu placing the mining industry on a better basis smd that we pledge our infliino to ren der any nssianor possible."

"Whereas,, The development of pro cesses of ore treatment capable ot handling with profit the vast low grade deposits and main dumps of our mining di-tricts is of the great est importance to the mining indus try and to all related industries; therefore be it "Uesolved, That our senators and ropresentntivos in the congress o" the United Statos be and are hereby re lated States be and are hereby re quested mid urged to supKrt the recommendation or Secretary Fisher requesting $100,000 to be appropri ated for the purjHise of establishing metallurgical test stations in tin metal mining districts, and that the bureau of mines jjives such assistanei as possible iu rendering service in tht treatment of our complex oror."

To Favor " 1'rospector. Whereas, The interpretation of the mineral laws of the United States arc frequently burdensome as applied by the interior department aud detri mental to the prospector and mining industry relative to the use of water and timber; bo it Resolved, That it is the sense of this congress that tho secretary of tho interior bo memorialized to the end that such encouragement should bo given the prospector ami mining people us will tend to upbuild the in dustry und that because of the im portance aud fur-reaching influence on all other industries that such com plaints as are laid before any of the governmental departments should be considered with a view of liberality as will encourage aud stimulated the ef forts of those who aro the forerun ners in loeuting and developing our mineral resources.
