New Salmon Appears in the Skeena RiverSmithers, Nov. 5.—What is believed to be a new species of salmon has appeared in the Skeena rrver this season, and fishermen are puzzled at the .strange fish. It has never been seen before either in the Skeena or any other British Columbia river.In appearance the new salmon resembles both the Sockeye and the Humpback, being described as a cross between the two. Its markings seem to include characteristic spots and colorings of both fish and the dorsal fin, while distinct from either of these species, appears to be a modification of both.The new salmon is of. large size and is a splendid food fish, having rich pink flesh, such as makes the Sockeye so highly prized by canners. The run of this strange and, so far as known, entirely new species, has been larfce this season, and fishermen , jwill, watch with interest for its reappearance next summer.
