28 MONTANA STATE FISH AND GAME COMMISSION 



Hatchery Report — Anaconda and Georgetown — 



With the help uf the C. W. A. and F. E. K. A., a log building was con- 

 structed at Flint creek to lie used as a bunk house for the crew during the 

 spawning season, a log building 24 by 42 was constructed for use as garage, ice 

 house and store room, lights were installed, a fence was constructed around the 

 property and grounds improved. 



Two concrete circular ponds were constructed at Anaconda — the large pond 

 divided into three smaller ponds and one additional earth ix)ud constructed 

 at the lower end of property. Major improvement was made to water supply 

 through lowering the supply pipe at the spring, covering the cold water spring 

 and remodeling the supply pipe intake from warm water spring. A concrete 

 floor was laid in the garage and the grounds improved. This project netted, per- 

 haps, the most to the department because of the character of work and the value of 

 the improvements to the Georgetown and Anaconda stations. 



Big Timber 



The large pond started in 1032 was completed. A second pond identical 

 to this was constructed, additions were built onto the hatchery providing room 

 for an office and work shop. The grounds were landscaped — additional land 

 purchased just west of the hatchery property — a concrete foundation con- 

 structed for a combination garage and store room, .specimen pond rip-rapped and 

 walks constructed around the same, a new road constructed from the east end 

 of the property to the hatchery building — trees grubbed off the hillside, and 

 shrubs and evergreens planted — repairs made to the living quarters. The valu- 

 ation of this station was considerably increased through this work. 



Daly Hatchei-y (Hamilton) 



Two large rearing ponds and four fry ponds were constructed, improvements 

 made to the water supply, living quarters enlarged and improved, au office 

 and work shop built in the hatchery, a porch added to end of the building, new 

 double door entrance installed and considerable painting done. The depart 

 ment also purchased this hatchery from the Daly estate from whom it had been 

 leased the past ten years. Additional improvements are planned here. 



Emigrant 



This is a comparatively new station, having been moved from its original 

 site across the Yellowstone river. Two large ponds were completed, the water 

 supply improved, the hatchery building enhirged through connecting it with 

 the store room — an office built onto the west end of the hatchery and the 

 building formerly used as coud)ination garage and living (piarters is being re- 

 modeled for full living quarters. The grounds were lan(l.><capi'd, road to U. S. 

 highway graded, fence constructed around property and concrete retaining walls 

 and concrete steps adjacent tn rectangular concrete ponds were constructe<l. A 

 heavy program of expansion is i)laniu'(l here as revenue is made available. 



Great Falls 



One concrete circular pond was constructed with grounds preiuired and 

 drain pipes laid tor two more t)f similar size and construction. A stone fence 

 liiiilt across front of property to prevent sand blowing on the lawn— game bird 

 display ikmis were constructed by inti-rested ag««ncii's. grounds landscaped. 

 There is urgent need for further impruvenient at this liatihery and it is 

 planned to complete the two i-oncrete ponds next spring and undtriake tiie other 

 work as money is made available.
