Black Mountain in the Blue Ridge 
One of the wildest and most interesting, as 
well as the best hunting sections of all the moun¬ 
tain regions of the country, is Black Mountain, 
in the Blue Ridge, a score of miles from Ashe¬ 
ville, N. C. The highest peak of that range is Mt. 
Mitchell, named for Prof. Elisha Mitchell of the 
University of North Carolina, who was a most 
accomplished geologist and daring climber. For 
several summers prior to 1858 he had taken with 
him into the North Carolina mountains young 
men from the Univeisity and that year had a 
party of about a dozen, including William A. 
Graham, of Raleigh, son of the then Secretary of 
the Navy, and Reuben F. Kolb, of Alabama. Prof. 
Mitchell lost his life by slipping down a stony 
and mossy cliff, and days afterward his body was 
found in a deep pool, by “Big Tom” Wilson, at 
the foot of a waterfall. On top of Mt. Mitchell 
there is a very striking stone monument to the 
scientist who gave it his name. “Big Tom” Wil¬ 
son died only a few years ago, having killed over 
four hundred bears during his life. He was taken 
once by the famous Governor Vance to Beaufort, 
N. C., to look at the ocean, and when he saw it he 
sat down and wept like a child, saying it was even 
grander than the mountains where he had spent 
all his life, and which he loved so dearly. 
Washington Notes 
(From our Field Correspondent.) 
Spokane, Wash., Nov. 16.— Big game hunt¬ 
ers are enjoying better sport this fall and winter 
in the mountain regions than ever before, and the 
indications are that they will not have to go so 
far afield as ordinarily, weather conditions in the 
upper feeding grounds having driven the animals 
into the winter feeding grounds earlier than usual. 
“Settlers in the northern Idaho timber re¬ 
gions tell me the forest ruminants are coming 
into winter quarters in better condition to with¬ 
stand the cold than at any time since the coun¬ 
try has been opened,” says Willis T. Burnham, 
cruiser for a St. Paul lumber company, who 
stopped off in Spokane, returning from a five 
weeks’ trip through northern Idaho. 
“The forest fires several years ago resulted 
in converting vast areas of underbrush into ex¬ 
cellent grazing grounds, and the deer and elk 
have had the finest kind of pasturage all sum¬ 
mer, grass and water having been within easy 
reach. 
“This is one reason the animals are coming 
out of the mountains earlier than usual, and they 
are congregating now in larger herds along the 
streams than ever before. I saw scores of them 
in wandering through the forests, getting often 
within easy stone’s throw of them before they 
departed.” 
Pike Fishing 
Baltimore pike fishermen have an outfit pecu¬ 
liar to themselves. I have used it for years and 
whenever I go astray, I always return quickly to 
the Baltimore outfit. A large flat bottomed boat, 
seven eighteen-foot poles rigged with fairly stout 
•lines, corks fully fourteen inches long, one ounce 
sinker and spreader with two fat bull minnows 
for bait. The poles are set in sockets with the 
butts in rings, three out stern, two just in front 
of fisherman and two just back of him within 
easy reach; all so arranged that in trolling the 
lines cannot possibly tangle. Usual catch three to 
twenty-five pike, weighing % to 4 lbs. 
This fishing comes in late fall and early 
spring when no other fish are biting and some¬ 
times it is cold work. I recall one ugly day in 
February with a sleet-rain pelting in from the 
northeast; I had fished from daylight until 11 a. 
m. without a strike, with not another fisherman 
in sight where usually 10 or 20 boats would be in 
company. Discouraged, wet and cold, I took off 
my seven lines and started home. 
Rounding a point and far up a narrow bay, I 
was surprised to see another boat “piking,” an 
occasional puff of smoke seemed to denote a con¬ 
tented fisherman, and curious to know the iden¬ 
tity of the other idiot, I pulled the half mile and 
found my friend F. So I re-rigged my seven 
lines and we fished together until too late to see 
the corks, neither of us getting a strike during 
the entire day and yet in memory that day stands 
out ever fresh and cold. I enjoyed it then, I en¬ 
joy the memory of it now.
