Sierra Club Bulletin. 



It is the hope of both Mrs. White and myself that some day 

 our trails may cross with that of the Sierra Club. 



Most sincerely, Stewart Edward White.

My Dear Mr. Colby: I am glad to have your letter of the 7th 

 inst. with copy of report concerning trout of the Kern River 

 region. It is very gratifying indeed to know that so much is 

 being done to expand the golden trout fishing grounds. The 

 preservation and multiplication of our game fish is a matter of 

 the greatest importance, and I hope that the efforts which have 

 been put forth may be attended by the highest success. 



Yours truly, Jas. Horsburgh, Jr.

My Dear Mr. Colby: I wish to thank you for your letter of 

 September ist, transmitting a copy of your report to the Board 

 of California Fish Commissioners on the transplanting of the 

 golden trout and other trout in the southern High Sierra last 

 season. I have read this report with a great deal of interest. 



I take it for granted, of course, that the stream which you 

 call Golden Trout stream is that which is designated in my report 

 as Volcano Creek. I am unable to locate on the map the lake in 

 Rocky Basin in which you first planted. Can you indicate a 

 little more definitely just how I may locate it? 



I am glad to know that the trout in Rock Creek are doing 

 well. That is a good stream, and it is interesting to know that 

 they are growing to such good size. 



The statement that Salmo whitei was planted in the Big 

 Arroyo was made on the authority of Mr. Edward Hurlburt. I 

 am glad to know that the species was not Salmo whitei, but S. 

 gilberti. 



The stocking of barren streams in this region appeals to me 

 as one of the most interesting lines of work which the State 

 Commission or other parties interested can engage in, and I 

 hope that we may all see the time when all of those streams may 

 be supplied with different species of trout. It is highly impor- 

 tant, however, that no two species should be put in the same 

 stream or in streams that communicate with each other. In
