The commence "running" as soon as the ice on the hikes commences to break up in the spring, which is generally during the middli' of June. 'Hie remoteness of the site of operations from railroatls, highways or, indeed, any human habitations, the high altitude, and prevalence of snow .storms, make the trip into this remote section at this season of tlic year actually dangerous at times. Nevertheless the work has been continued and crews have gone into the "lakes" each season and successfully accomplished their mis- sion. Five Inuidrcd tliousnnd eggs were taken in the spring of 1918, and in 1919, nearly a million eggs were procured. Immediately after each spawning pack trains were started out to take the eggs to the Mount Wliitney Hatchery where they were hatched and reared.
