Besides this it had plants in one of its tributaries, known as Roaring 
Brook, given below. 
Boaring Brook. — This stream is referred to on page 410, and I have 
reason to believe that all the plants made were in the tributary of 
North Creek, and not in Thirteenth Brook. Those of 1886 and of 1888 
certainly were. The stream received : 
1883 . *67, 400 
1884 38, 800 
1886 - 59,800 
1888 «. 50,000 
Total 216,000 
Thirteenth Brook. — A rapid stream, which comes from the west and 
empties at the village of North River. It is sometimes dammed for 
logging purposes, but was avoided on the years when it was so used. 
It received : 
1885 1 79, 900 
1888 - 50,000 
Total 129,900 
Beaver Meadow Brook is a tributary of Indian River, which enters the 
Hudson in Essex County. The brook crosses the stage road from North 
River to Blue Mountain Lake, about 8 miles from the former place, and 
if the roads were better in the spring this would be a good point of 
deposit. In 1883 there were 39,000 salmon planted in this stream. 
Indian River received 36,200 in 1884. 
Minerva Brook was stocked in 1888 with 35,000 salmon at Olmstead- 
ville, Essex County. It is a tributary of the Schroon River, which enters 
the Hudson at Warrensburgh, some 20 miles, as the crow flies, below, but 
by the course of the river is nearly double that distance. This stream 
is a celebrated trout brook, and I strongly recommend it for salmon. 
Loon Lake empties into the Schroon at Starbuckville, Warren County, 
and received 38,600 salmon in 1884. I am not certain that lake plant- 
ings are good for these fish. I prefer mountain brooks. 
Gulf Brook and Hokum Pond received 55,000 fry in 1882. Hokum Pond 
is in the town of Johnsburgh, Warren County, south and west of the 
village of North Creek. Its outlet is Mill Brook (not Mill Creek, in same 
county), which is tributary to North Creek. Gulf Brook empties into 
Mill Brook near the outlet of Hokum Pond. 
Kelso Brook was stocked with 37,000 in 1884. It empties into Min- 
erva Brook a mile above Olmsteadville, in Essex County, and is therefore 
tributary to the Schroon River. Another stream with the same name 
empties into Carr’s Brook in the town of Chester, Warren County. 
Cedar River comes from the southwest and joins the Hudson in Essex 
County, about 3 miles above the point where Indian River comes in. 
* Two plants. 
t In the reports this plant was credited to North River.
