FISHING ONE -OF
MOST POPULAR SPORTS
Reports from angling license
wales in many districts reveal that
“ishing is one of the most popular
sports. Of course it is impossible to
make an accurate sales tabulation at
fthis time, buy early indications show
What the drought has not frightened
, many anglers.
As a matter of fact, it is beginming to appear. as though the dry
sseason has enticed more early auilers to streams and the usual proxture in former yearh. Sporting
‘zoods houses, no doubt are doing an
fincreased business.
At this time of year, in forme:
seasons, many of the streams were 80
high that good anglin was an imwossibdility, and the sportsmen na“turaily collected on the shallower
ttributaries. This year the tables seeiu
fo be somewhat reversed, with wost
wf the fishing on the large streams
‘and ‘the tributaries virtually abunmoneda. Lakes will receive big play.
‘Fish culturists of the Division ‘of
Fish and Game are somewhat worrfta ‘over the change in conditions.
“Aecording to their calculations conservation is going to suffer a serve
Wlow if the anglers concentrate too
Yaeavily on the fishable waters.
Fishing that is done too intensely
will so deplete the waters that it is
Wiable to take several years to make
any sory of a recovery, according to
wulturists. This will be espically
ttrue in the lakes.
Sportsment’s and associations can
elo a great work if they will encourrage their members and friends to
mse good common sence in working
“the streams and not allow certain
waters to be fished.

SSONORA, Calif, May 14.—Walter
Barrett, of Soulsbyville, has granted to William. McGee and J. A.

men, a lease and bond on his Mayflower group of three claims on the
