ROILY WATER
PROTECTS FISH
By CHAS. L. GILMORE
In the Hydraulic Miner
Believe it or not, the facts show
that mining, and particularly hydraulic mining, is not detrimental to
fish life. Hydraulic mining was in
its heyday, and the rivers, particularly in the Sacramento watershed,
were Saturated solutions of silt until
the famous Sawyer decision in the
early 80s’.
Now, during that time the State
of California imported many of our
present food fishes, fish, which to
the unitiated are believed native to
these waters.
In brief form, the following species of fish were imported from other
states and planted in California in
the years named:
Shad, 1871; carp, 1872; eastern
brook trout, 1872; whitefish, 1872;
Atlantic solman 1874; black bass,
1874; pike; 1874; tautog, 1874; rock
bass, 1874; awa, 1877; landlocked
salmon, 1878;. striped bass, 135 fish
in 1879, 300 fish in 1882.
These were all importations and
plantings before hydraulic mining
was placed under the ban,
The striped bass plantings are important. No fish culturist to date has
ever found the secret of artificial
propagation of striped bass, and
these 435 fish were the parents of
the hundreds of thousands of tons
that have been fished out of the rivers, sloughs and bays of California
to feed the multitudes.
proved by consultation with any
practical fish culturist. They know
that at the time when the little fish
loses his egg sack, when his gills begin to form, and when he first starts
to eat, a parisitic growth commences
around his head and on his little
gills. The standard remedy is to take
a pile of our good red mountain mud,
dissolve it at the head of the trough
until thlat fish trough is simply a
saturated solution. As this water
clears out the. little fish arg seen
swimming along in a healthy state.
The silt has cleared their jittle gills.
The only harm that this type of
mining visits upon the fisherman is
to roil the water so that the fly caster cannot exhibit his art. Thus to
that extent at least, this roily water
protests the fish. ;

The buildings are a great credit to
the United States, which also maintains an academy at Annapolis and
a coast guard training school.
Leaving West Point they went into Massachusetts where visits were
