COMMERCIAL FISHING IN NEVADA. 
Recent fishery inquiries made in Nevada and Utah by Mr. E. A. 
Tulian indicate important increases in the commercial fisheries of cer- 
tain minor interior waters of this generally arid region of the West. 
The investigations in Utah are not yet completed, but those for Nevada 
show a decided improvement since the fisheries were canvassed in 
1895. At that time the yield consisted of 28,690 pounds of trout, worth 
$2,023. In 1900 107,536 pounds of trout and black bass were taken, 
the value of which was $12,834. The fishery is carried on in a rather 
desultory manner, the number of persons engaged in it from time to 
time being 120. The investment in the fishing business amounted to 
$1,905. The following tables present statistics of the fishing industry 
of Nevada for 1900:
