ego   in tbe  vicinity   ot Scotia,
which is in the northern  part of
Huntingdon  county,   mining of
iron ore was carried on In  an
extensive manner,  bat  this in
dustry was abandoned some years
later, and tba excavation made in

made an ideal breeding place for

with fisb.   Tbe    long continued
dry weather has greatly lassasad
tbe flow of water and caused the
fish to seek the deep places in tbe
pools, where tbey  were  to  be
seen in countless thoussnds.
Fearing that the drought
might contioue for an indefinite
period and the fish become the
unwilling victims of the ravenous
birds ot the air and fisb devour-
iug-animals, it was deemed ex
pedieut by the fish departmene et
Harrisburg that they be trana-
terrad to streams where there
was a greater flow ot water aod

mature aad become suitable for

Warden Lincoln. Lender et this
boroogb, who .recently received
$po*t made a pilgnta-;
ot a number of piscatorial sportsmen and tha aid of nets,
thousands ot the fish were taken
from tha water and placed in
large vessels aud brought to the
streams in the immediate vicinity.
Tbe dam at the Kerbaugh plant
received many hundred of tha
"cattie," aome of them being at
least lourteen inches in length,
while a raunber of cans were
placed in Bandy run, atPinecrott.
Theae streams contain pare
mountain water, whioh should
prove an ideal place for the fish
and in due season mature into
good sized ones, snd in the course
ot a year or two the sportsmen
should find good fishing.
The beginning of the week
Warden Lender and a number of
Altoona sportsmen, paid a viait
to the poods aud scooped oat
about fifteen large cans ot fish
and took them to Flowing
Spring aad Upper Reese, where
thay were deposited ia the
Juniata river.
Warden Lender informed us
yesterday afternoon tbat when
the first viait was made td tba
ponda the fisb were cavorting
about in countless thousands and
due to the low condition of the
water were easily taken and were
a sight to behold. He aaid he
had no conception that ao many
fish could be found in such a
smalt stream. Now that they
hive beea transplanted to streams
where tbere is a continous flow
Of pore water, there is maoh
ground for believe that ia due
time tbey will mature and the
streams become abundant with
the fisb.
