For the Nevada Journal,
Duck Sheeting at Mono Lake.
Mono Lake isliterally.alive with
ducks of the variety known as the
spoon-Lill, Searcity of aquatic vegetation, it would seem, (as I stated in
a former article,* when speaking of
the game on this Lake,) renders the
Lake urinhabitable for ducks of any
other species than the spoon-bill,
which is an insect feeder, being provided with a row of long, fine teeth,
on either half of its broad, spoon-shaped bill, which fit intoeach other like
the teeth of two cubs, (allowing water to be ejected, while whatever insects may be iu it are retained,) the
spoon-bill, is peculiarly fitted by nature for feeding on insects, and i>
Mono Lake, finds a paradise ; for
the water swarms with a peculiar fly,
ef which it seems partienlarly fond.
It will, perhaps, not be amiss to
say something of this fly, which isthe
only living thing found in tke waters
ofthis Lake. This insect, in the larva
state, isa small, brown, semi-traus-~
parent worm, near half an inch in
length, and about the month of June
becomes the perfect fly ; when it is
about the size of. and somewhat regembles, the common horse-‘y. It is
at this time that the Indians come
to the Lake to catch thei ; for they
not only eat these flies, but esteem
them a great dainty. To catch these
inseets,which are buzzing and swarming in myriads on the surface of the
water, they use a kind of basket or.
web cf willow, with which they scoop
them up and throw them on mats to
dry, when the legs and wings are
winnowed ont, and the bedies packed up in leather bags for future use.
When boiled, in which state they are
generally eaten by the Pi-utes, they
are of a salinon color, and strong fishy
smell and taste.
The Indians, say they are not so
plenty this year as common ; but, if .
this was au unfruitful season, a full .
crop must be “awful,” for even in October, the cast skins of the larva and
dead flies, formed a beach on the}
south shore of the Lake, a rod i:
width by a foot or two in depth, filling the air with a perfume by no
means elegant.
Now fot the duck shooting—There

get into it and wait till they come to
drink ; which they are hound to do
sooner or later, for they must have
fresh water, as that of the Lake is not
only salt, but strong enouglt of alkali
to make soap. A few come at all
times in the day to the creeks. but in
the evening about sunset. and just at
daybreak inthe morning is the grand
rush, they then come swimming in to
ward the shore in vast fleets and literally “pile up” on the bars over
which the creeks empty into the lake.
If left to themselves, they stay drinking and splashing about for an hour
or two, then swim off in a body as they
came toward the middle of the Lake,
and are soon out of sight. They do
net stop to roost on tke shore but
swim off toward a large island, seven
or eight miles in length, where they,
perbaps, have a grand roosting place.
Indeed, the island has a similar appearance to the guano islands of the
Pacific when viewed fzom a distance.
On my ducking excursion to the Lake
a young German, with an unpronouncable name, of which Gunsenhauser,
conveys a faint idea, accompanied
me to take care of the horses and stir
up the game; for I intended to station
myself on some point ruuning into the
Lake and take the ducks on the wing
as they passed over, not having the
least idea but we should return to
earip the next morning with our animals loaded down with game. But 1
soon found that ducking at Mono
Lake, was a very different affair to
the same among the small lakes aud
ponds of the Sacramento Valley. I spent the greater part of the after-.
noon in maneevering after a few stragglers that were sporting along the
shore in the vicinity of a cluster of pilTHE JOURNAL,

Dutchman, soon gave proof of such
segacity that I was giad to exeuse
him from further effort. [ had fixed
up a “blind” on a rarrow point of
land running into the Lake, and sent
him toward the rocke with orders to
scare up the ducks already there, then
to hide in the bushes and not show
himself when any came toward me;
but, if they came toward where he
was, he must run out toward the
beach. Now mark how well he carried out his part of the plan. He
went down toward the recks. being
careful, however, not to disturb what
duck» were there ; but, the moment
one came toward iny hiding place,
out he rushed to the shore, throwing
up his hat, tossing his arms about and
vociferating at a great rate, and when
they were scared off to the rocks,
away he would run on the ens of his
toes and half bent to hide in the
bush. Ie went through this manever some half dozen times, in spite of
frantic-gesticulations of remonstrance
on my part, when, my knees being
almost worn to the bone on the grayel, I went to him for an explanation.
He had merely altered the original
plan, As he did not think it worth my
while to waste powder and shot on
one or two ducks, he was going to
get them all down to the rocks, then
bring down the whole flock at once,

Bang! bang! I let go both barrels
among them and with a noise like a
heavy roll of thunder they are up and
off— not all, hewever, for on rushing
to the shore I found the water strewed with a number of dead and wounded. I secured eleven, as many more
winged and otherwise crippled escaped. The next morning I killed nine
more, and so ends my first hunt on
Mono Lake.

Game in THE Mono Lake CounTRY —~There is more game to be

Mono Lake than any place I have

seen in the flats. and on the hill-sides
almost anywhere around the diggings
though they are to be found in greater plenty some two or three miles
north-west of the mines, toward the
head of Walker River They are
not the same long-legged, gaunt species with which we are familiar on
this side of the mouatains, but are
. larger, more white in color, plumper,
fatter, and ir every respect a superior animal. It is blessed with ears of
about the same extent as our hare,
but having a more bulky. body does
not look so top-heavy. ‘Ihe Indians

with some success, I should suppose.

animal, though they catch them in
greater numbers by driving them into
a sort of net or enclosure of twigs.—
They are not so shy’as our hare, and
will at times almost suffer themselves
to be trodden upon before leaving
their lair, and then, perhaps, wilk-not
run more than ten paces before stopping to. raise themselves upon their
haunches and. look about.

did sport, as they rise beautifully.
They are a fine looking bird, and
somewhat larger than a grouse of the
common species. With a good steady pointer; there would be great sport
in hunting the sage-hen, although I
cannot say much in praise of its flesh,
which is rather too strongly flavored
with the sage, on the young buds
and tender leaves of which it feeds.
This bird may be said to have no gizzara, as the flimsy, craw-like affair,
with which it is provided, is c:earcely
worthy the dignity of the name.
Of large game thereis no lack,—
mountain sheep, judging from their
trails are very plentiful, but I saw
none. They stay about the summits
of the rocky hills during the middle
of the day, and only come down to
the flats to feed late 1n the afternoon,
or early in the morning. To succeed
. in killing this game the sportsmen
must be acquainted with their feedj ing places and secrete himself in the
vicinity and await their approach.—
In many of the flats and liitle valleys,
may be seen circular pits, four or five
feet in diameter and a’‘couple of feet
in depth, fringed around with tufts of
long grass or reeds, which are made
lby the Pi-vtes, for hiding places
while watching for deer or mountain
sheep.
Deer are quite plenty, and are
hunted in the usual manner, viz, by
stealing—by the white settlers, but
I think the Indians have a way of
eatching them-—also, sheep and antelope by driving into enclosures of
some kind ; as I saw, in places, long
. rows of sticks about four feet high,
sticking in the ground, with the remains of strings about them.
The coyote, although not coming
under the head of game. in the more
. common acceptance of the term, is
i still, in his own estimation, at best, a
“varmint” of some importance ; and
. here, is not too modest to raise his
dismal voice in long, quavering howls
even at noonday, and in close vicinuge to Mono Camp. Night, however,
is the season in which they put forth
their vocal efforts with the greatest
eth and energy ; near the Lake,
at an hour aftersunset, they will cutshriek a Digger village, even at the
time of a “big ery.”
The poreupine, is found here. but
I do not know that they are plenty,
I saw the skin of one that was killed
near the Lake.
Ducks are to be found herein greater plenty than any other kind of game
—Mono Lake, literally swarms with
them ; and, what is strange, all of
one species—namely, the spoon-bill
What the reason is that the spoonbils have sole possession of the Lake.
I cannot say—whether the water of
the Lake is not relished by other varieties, or, that their favorite food is
not to be found here. I think however that the absence of grass, and
any kind of aquatic plants on the
margin of the Lake, sufficiently ace
counts for the absence of many other
varieties , for the shores are as barren of vegetation as the bald peaks
of the Sierras. But, the spoonsbill,
being an insect feeder by nature, is
not inconvenienced by this scarcity of
vegetation.

CARD,
Prompted by an honest desire of my heart, I wish
to lay before the public a ease which deserves acommendation, not only as an act of scientifixe skill, but
thatof humanity also. About two yeaas ago I
suddenly and from causes unknown to me, was stized with a fit of Epilepsy, which owing to my inability
to meet the expense consequent upon a thorough
medical treatment, and the discouragement which
I met with on attempting it, soon became such (as I
was then led to believe) as to defy the skill of any
physician. 1 was frequently, while in pursuit of
my calling, thrown down to the ground without the
slightest warning; and, althongh insensible to the
agonies, I yet despised the miseries of my life, and
scon learned tolook upon those who wonld render
assistance or thelter me from danger as enemies
who sought to prolong the existence of my miseriesWhile in ting state. and having, previous to my af
flicti: n; tasted the sweets of life, IL once more was
induced to &ttemp: seeking aid of a physician, and,
by recommendation. called upon Dr. L. J. Czapkay.
I told him of my circumstances, and of my inability
toreward him for his services, regardless of which,
however, he undertook my case, and, with the bleasing of God, I tvas oNce more restored to perfect health
Unable to reward him for the boon which . enjoy
at present, and yet couscionsof ny indebtedness, 1
consider it due to myself and all afflicted, to make
the ease public, in order that those in need of medical
advice may find a physic an in whom every confidéenee can be placed. ff S,}) MEYER YABLONSKY

I, the undersigned, having beeh tinder the treat
ment of Dr J Czapkay, slthough unsolicited, feel
called upon to give publicity to the efficdcy of hie
treatment, hoping that Uy doing soI may be instramental in preventing others from the feat ful suffering
and misery which I exptrienced. and which so
often res ut from tl 6 ; ernie ts préaétide of pretenders. My disease has beeft tua. of phys.can and
mental db lity, wkich follows im consequenceof in
deseretions in youth. The agoiies which I endtired
are,perhaps unnecesSary for mc to detail; they are
known to those who have experiertted them. Snffice
it to say, that having called the services of Dr L J
Czapkay into requisition, all the expectations which I
may have formed of him wete more that realized
I would therefore recommend Dr (tapkay to all those
who may find themselves afflicted with that dreadful » my object in so doing beifig sympathy
for suffering humanity, ao@ a heértfelt desire of reieving them. , ¥y J Dawveés, Pritter
