while the head waters of the West Boulder are of easier access from 

 Livingston. Upper Deer Creek empties into the Yellowstone from the 

 south at Reynolds Station. Lower Deer Creek and the Sweet Grass 

 River flow into the Yellowstone on opposite sides, respectively from 

 south and north, all affording fine trout fishing. In these the upper 

 waters of the Yellowstone from this point to its head in the Yellow- 

 stone National Park, the main stream is well supplied with large trout 

 and affords fishing that once enjoyed, will he always remembered by

 Pacific, a branch extends south to Gardiner, known as the Park Branch. 

 This branch follows the Yellowstone, which with its tributaries, abounds 

 with millions of beautiful trout. The main tributaries between Liv- 

 ingston and Gardiner, are Brisbin, Spring, Mill and Big Trail Creeks

 the Northern Pacific, is one of the finest fishing streams in the state 

 and can be reached from any of the stations on the Shields River 

 branch. Two miles from Springdale is located Hunter's Hot Springs, 

 at which a new hotel has recently been completed. There is excellent 

 trout fishing near here; in Yellowstone river. 



The best game district in this section of Montana is on the Gardiner 

 branch adjacent to the Yellowstone National Park, where elk, deer, 

 antelope and bear abound in countless numbers. From Corwin Hot 

 Springs a person may fish in the streams and enjoy the unusual sight 

 of elk and antelope feeding along the face of the adjacent mountains. 

 This condition prevails as far south as Cooke City, east to the west 

 Boulder River and west to the East Gallatin Divide. 



Daley's Lake on the Park branch is a favorite resort of ducks and 

 is near Emigrant Station. Grouse, sage hens, fool hens and prairie 

 chickens are found on the foot hills throughout this section. 



Adjoining Park County on the west is Gallatin County, of which 

 Bozeman is the largest town and County Seat. From here many hunt- 

 ing and fishing parties outfit for the Upper Gallatin Basin, one of 

 the grandest sections of the northwest and one that is most beautifully 

 endowed by nature with all that appeals to the true knight of the rod 

 and gun. From June 15th to late fall, this country is truly a sports- 

 man's paradise, being in the heart of the grandest of the Rocky Moun- 

 tains, a delightful climate and numerous mountain streams abundantly 

 supplied with gamey trout of many varieties. The streams are easily 

 accessible and the surrounding country abounds with a profusion of 

 big game, elk, deer. Rocky Mountain sheep and bear. The big game
