Fishing Extraordinary

I ninst teil you about white fishing at Sault Sainto Marie. Wh'ile our boat stopped, I went down to the beach whero a dozen Indians live, who aro tlio most wondoiful fishermen tlmt I know of. Fot 25 cents I was given a Hpecial hIkiw. Seating mj'Melf in a canoe, one Judian took [his jiosition seatod in the stern, and auother stood in filé bow, The one in the stern u.sed a paddlo to keep the boat's head up streani, while the other used a pole to steady the boat. II; luid a dip-net abont four feet in diameter, with a handle twelve or fifteen feet long. This was hung over the projection of the cut-water, while the handle trailed back in the water. Tlins eqnipped, wo sailed out into the rapids, which are half a mile in length and one niilo wide. At the foot of the rapids the fishing is done. Tho water boils and tumbles like the Bwiftest rift on tho Delaware, and is generally half wliito with breaking foam. With his pole, the Indian in the bow holds the canoe, or Iets it float steadily sidewise, now up a little, then down, but always under perfect control, and alwayü dancing with the rush of water. He watohci the water constantly, which varies in deptli from eight to nine feet. Suddenly with a qnick motion he shoves tl. e end of the pole under the bow piece, grasping the net at the same time with the other hand, and, never taking his eye from the water, plnnges it in, perhaps ten feet away, and forcea it to the bottom, or, as the canoe sags back with the current, Iets it drop a few feet, and then with a peculiar twist raises it to the surface, and, with a toss like turning a flapjack, drops a five-pound whitefish into the canoe. This was repeated time and again, right in the swiftest water, and seldom only one fish was caught, but once six that would weigh eighteen pounds. Uiten I could not see bottom, I and one was caught in eight or ten feet of water. I could see no fish until they were brought to the surface. It was the only kind of fishing that I ever saw that I did not think I could learn to do. It is said no white man ever did learn. The Indian I was with took 300 in one day. We were out an honr and took about thirty.- Letter to Deposit (N. Y.) Courier. "
