GAME AND FISH. “Bill Dad,” war correspondent of the Sacramento Record, writes from Fair­ child’s Ranch as follows, in relation to tlie country : “On Lost river, about 20 miles from Tule Lake, exists tlie most remarkable Spring fishing on the Coast, and from all accounts I am led to believe that the equal of it cannot be found anywhere. In March and April the* fish leave the lake, or this variety—a fat, whit« fish, weighing from five to twenty pounds —do, for the purpose, probably, of spawn­ ing in the river and tlie little streams which empty into it. At the point men­ tioned there is a riffle or rapids, which is here from four to five feet deep and thirty to fifty feet wide. Here the In­ dians congregate and slaughter them by the ton. Such is the rush of fish that they at times seemed jammed in a mass while endeavoring to overcome the riffle. The Indians stand on the shore, or wade in a little way, and with nothiug but forks, sharp sticks and their hands, throw them out in such vast quantities tliat the amount of annual catch passes the belief of those who have never seen these fish­ eries. During the run, which lasts four or six weeks, they can take and dry tish enough to last them the remainder of the season. Tlie right to fish here and elsewhere, and to hunt where they please, the Modocs assert they will never relin­ quish. The country is abundantly supplied witli game of many kinds. The lakes and streams swartn with ducks, geese and other water fowls ; grouse, sage hens, prairie chickens, nearly or quite similar to those of Illinois and other Western States, are abundant, mountain quail and a species of partridge, which, however, does not drum, and other game complete the list. On the mountains are the griz­ zly, cinnamon, black and brown bear, the former of which attains extraordina­ ry size, they having been slain weighing 2,000 pounds. The mountain sheep with its immense horns, often three feet in length, if straifcnten(fd out, plerfty, imd Mie flesh is esteemed good eating by all class­ es. There are several varieties of the deer, chief of which is the mule deer, an immense animal lor that species, very stupid and easy to kill. It is not un­ common to find one that weighs 275 |H>unds when dressed. The black-tailed deer comes next, and they, too, are large, but little inferior to the other in weight, as 200 pounds is no uncommon size. A Canine’s Sagacity.
