After a delightful trip up the Lakes to
Port Arthur we took the train to Jaok
Fish where we found the small village
asleep and almost lost in the mountain
side. It consists of the station, a small
bestiary, a small frame building used as
a radiance and poab office, and another
email dwelling house ea the shore of the
Bay. 'A freight schooner wee in at the
time unloading coal. Considerable
quantities of coal are brought into Jack
Fish Bay from where it is shipped in-
terior, this being the main reason for a
hotel being here for the accommodation
of the coal heavers who are kept busy
nearly all the year round. The day after
our arrival we secured the services of a
small tug whioh took our fort), four
hundred pounds of supplies across Jack
Fish bay, a distance of some 4* miles, to
what is called the Mines Landing, a steep
rooky trail up a mountain side and
whioh leads to the Empress and Urger
Major mines. The latter was the only
one in operation and though the mining
here is being parried on on a small scale
the prospects are exceptionally good as
was proven by our Geologist who examin-
ed their ore. I`had the pleasure of see-
ing every nook and corner of these mines
and from a geological point of view they
both were very good. The country in
this neighborhood ie very mountainous
and e, great deal of it rook. We spent
two nighte in this seotion when we were
molar way North over a chain of lakes
which led ne to the head of Long Lake.
To this lake, as the crow flies, is only 22
miles but by the route we took it was a
great deal longer. In this stretch of
country we had some 18 portages to
groes which necessitated our 7 members
carrying, per peak strip -Indian style -
4,400 pounds, which was not a very easy
job considering that on many portages we
had to cat and blaze e, trail (old settlers
in this neighborhood will remember what
blazing a trail means)bben the portages
were not always level, many took ne over
hills, 40 to 100 ft. high, to the next lake
and over these we had to carry our 18 ft.
Peterboro' canoes, but being born of that
Canadian spirit which shrinks at nothing
we succeeded in reaohiog the head of
Long Lake after 18 days hard work.
During these 18 days we hardly knew
what it meant for the sun to shine as we
had rain every day until we struck the
height of land which we crossed on the
12th of July, arriving at the bead of
Long Lake at night. Feathered game,
though a little early, was very plentiful.
Leaving here we made "Long Lake
House" -a Hudson Bay post at the ex-
treme North end of Lake, a distance of
64 miles, as the orow flies but longer by
canoe -in two days, with 4 men and over
eleven hundred pounds of supplies in
each canoe. We were forced to lay up
for the gales whioh would spring np, with-
out a moment's notice, some being very
severe, and it was with difficulty we
weathered some of them, bat our staunch
oanoee were good and withstood the
storms in good style.
Long Lake is a beautiful and very
pioturescjue lake about 54i miles long and
varying In width from a quarter of a mile
to 2 miles ; high mountains on both sides
and magnificent bluffs, the most promin•
ant of which was "Jietere Bluff" some
400 ft. high. The lake bas many deep
bays, some being fully a mile from the
main channel. There are also a number
of good sized rivers flowing into this lake.
We noticed many quartz exposures and
veins around and in this vioinily and it
would be very good for prospectors as
there is every indication of rich mineral.
A number of the quartz veins were gold
bearing. This lake abounds with feather-
ed game. In the many bays may be
found at night hundreds of looks flock-
ing together they disband about three
o'olook in the morning and at daylight
only a few, 8 or 12 in a Book, of the vast
number oar be seen. The high hills sur-
roundingthis lake are of course rook,
many being quite bare from the lake
and it is a beautiful sight to look np from
a oauoe, a distance of 850 to 400 feat, and
see the many pictures formed in these
rooky bluffs made more picturesque by
the many little streams, mere rivulets in
fact, trickling down this immense height
into the lake. It was not in our territory
to explore inland from this lake there.
fore I oan tell nothing. as to the surround.
ing country from information gained
from the manager of Long Lake House I
learn that the country is rooky generally,
and having good prospeots for mining.
The timber is composed ofepruoe, tamar-
ao,-birch, balsam and balm of Gilead.
About 9.80 a. m. July the 18th, we
rounded ahigh bluff whioh brought us
into a deep bay and in the distance we
discerned some white buildings and iln•
mediately a cheer arose from us all, the
eight of those buildings was the most
gladsome event we had sham leaving ,Seek
Fish bay, June 26th. Upon reaohing the
poet landing we could see a number of
Indians grouped together who were no
doubt disdaining our arrival. Surprised
they certainly were, Choir brown, ourions
fame denoted that. There is a fence
aurronnding the grounds in front of the
post and when we all filed up to the gate
we were wela0med by a stalwart gentle-
man, Peter Godobere, the manager of
Long Lake House, who cordially shook tee
by the band and bade Os weloome, He
le of French descent but spoke"excellent
English. He had heard that a party of
.explorers would likely pass that way ac
was not surprised, Ile ordered and had
the large Hudson Bay Union dank flag
hoisted in honor of our arrival whioh was
a greet honor'oonsidering the foot that it
is only hoisted on very, very rare 00.
oesione, He gave DB the liberty of the
city, of Long Lake House, which we en.
joyed very much. Long Lake House
consists of a story and hall dwelling
bowie, a two story frame store, a large
store house, two or three other wood
etruoturee, need for storing canoes, snow-
shoes and other smaller articles of barter,
and a stable. About a mile further
North on the shore of the lake is a nice
little chapel where service is held once a
year, the Catholic priest vieiting there for
that occasion, coming from Port Arthur.
Between the chapel and the store was a
number of wigwams, a small village in
fact, where a number of Indians working
for Mr. Godohere lived for a few menthe
in the Summer. Most of the squaws
were busily engaged in making bark
oadoee whenwe arrived. The buildings
of the post were all made by Mr. God.
ohere who has been inthis plaoe for over
30 years. The boards were out from
the tree with a oroee out eaw, the log be-
ing on a raised platform and everything
was done under hie supervision. Truly
he has a beautiful little home. All the
buildings are nicely painted and the
furniture of his dwelling is magnificent,
equal to, if not better, than any of the
400 of the city. He has musical instru-

Among his instruments are a handsome
upright piano, violins, music box, auto•

barometer, which is an aneriod, tells him

be seen quite artistically arranged many
trophies of the obase. Cariboo, Moose

said animals came within range of the

truly "Monarch of all he surveys" with
no one to dispute his right. The Indians
(his Indians as he malls them) almost
worship him. He is a jovial fellow ; a

hospitality a night and a day this time

your readers something interesting as
well as news regarding Long Lake House,
together with a full acooant of the famous
double Indian murder which took place
on the 13th of last March, the prelimi-

The Indian agent at Port Arthur, who
conducted the trial, gave me a true, full
and graphio account of it, showing me
the decision the Government had arrived
at in whioh they were going to discharge
the young Indian girl (just 16 years of
age) who had killed her own father. The
etory is interesting add will appear later,
