For some years it was operated as a trout station, but eventually 

 became an important steeUiead hatchery. It was not operated in 

 1913. In 1914 the State Fish Commission collected steelhead eggs 

 at the Eel River dam of the Snow Mountain Water & Power Co., 

 and having secured permission from the town of Ukiah, hatched 

 them out in its hatcher}^. 

 As the Hornbrook hatchery on Klamath River was on private 



Eroperty, the United States Bureau of Fisheries in 1915 removed the 

 uiklings from the old location on the south side to property owned 

 b}" the Government on the north side of the river. 



In 1915 new hatchery buildings were erected at the MiU Creek 

 hatchery.
