 tiiwc<l about six miles up Dyea River to the head of canoe navi^'ation. On the left is the Indian villa>;e, with one hundred or 
 more tents of the Indian [i.ickers. These people found the past summer an astonishingly prolitable one by reason of the great 
 rush to the ^old lielils, and they naturally look forward to the presenl yi'.ir with great expectations.

 resorts, -ii|. plies were t.iken for some ilisl.mce np the trail. The ■'liarite was about lix cents a poiiml in September, from Dyea over 
 tlie L liilkoot I'ass to Lake l.imlerman, a ilislance of twenty-eii,'lit miles. There were comparatively few pack animals on the Dyea 
 trail. The Indians doinu a very lar,i;e part of the work, the charges were about the same, but the chief cliliculty was to secure 
 help. This nei^;lil)orhood presei:ted a scone of feverisli activity, as e.ich new arriv.il -omjlit to ^,'ot his supplies under way by raiioe 
 or pack animal; .and oftc'i impatient of delay carrieil them unaided on his own broad shoulders.

 places will be best understood by experienced [jhotofiraphers Only slow projjrcss could be made with a photoirraphic outfit ami 
 a complete camp was recpiired for its accommodation, involving; the employment of considerable help and the expenditure of 
 much time and money. Every one of these views represents great phys'cal effort and exposure.

 CAMP AT LONG LAKE, DYEA TRAIL.— This is mic nf the rc^iilar rampihi; Knmiuls for travelers who seek tlie nold 
 fieliisby way of the Dyea trail. .Vlthmiuh wild and bleak in winter, it is imt so unpleasant in the hot summer months when the c hnl 
 enei.iy of comlort is the bloodthirsty miisi|nito. With ruii^ed nionntains rearini; their lofty heads aronn<l, the miners can encamp 
 hi comparative peace lieside Lonj; Lake, and take the nmch needed rest that is demanded at the end of a wearyini; inarch. .Vfter 
 a niL'ht's refreshinu sleep beside the placid waters the march will be resnnied in the early mornini,' and the next reslini: place will 
 probably be one of the camps at Deep Lake on the journey nortli. fhe conditions all tend to make one anx'ons to push onward. 
 
Dl'.r.l' I.AKl',, IINI'.A TKAII,.— Tliis hike is ;i woll kiiciwii s(iiit oil tlie Dyea tniil. It is lictwceii I-oiig Lake ami Lake 
 LiiiikTuiaii, anil its slions ari' viiy |i(i|uilar as a caiii|inij,' K'lniinil for miners jjniiiu t)y the dverkaiul rmite. Several camps are tii be 
 fmmil in the Mei),'hl)i)rliiiiicl. The siirri)uiiilini;s are barren and mcky, ami in the winter months it is an extremely nndesirahle place 
 to he located. lint when the snow has disappeared before the inspirini; rays of a snnimer sun it is healthy, placid and 
 peaceful. One cannot tind much shooting round al)ont, as the absence of fertility makes it unattractive to both birds and beasts. 
 liy the banks of the lake, however, a very welcome rest can be enjoyed by the traveler on his way to the land of placer mining.
