36 ANNUAL REPORT OF 



Commencing in sections 15, 16 and 17 the waters seek another 

 direction and find their way northward through the Cameron 

 chain of lakes and rivers, at the head of which is Schlamm lake, 

 sections 8 and 9. Schlamm lake is a shallow sheet of dark- 

 colored water, nowhere more than 6 or 7 feet deep, and generally 

 about three feet, while in the western end the bottom is a slimy 

 brown bog coming to the surface. This lake is drained eastward 

 by Cameron river into lake Lunetta. The first half mile Cameron 

 river is wide and deep, and navigable for canoes and row boats 

 down to a stony rapids which continues for about a quarter of a 

 mile, after which the stream again widens and deepens to a fair 

 channel until near Lunetta lake, where further passage is barred 

 by a growth of vegetation which has completely bridged over the 

 flow. This natural dam could be cleared out at small cost and 

 the channel made continuous. Lake Lunetta is a small but pretty 

 body of water with numerous springs along its north and west 

 shores. Phiza lake in section 15 feeds Lunetta by a small creek 

 of clear water flowing through a bed of boulders. A clear, deep 

 channel of almost level water, half mile long connects Lake 

 Lunetta with Wolf lake in section 11. A pine-covered ridge of 

 rounded boulders and sand separates Wolf lake from the north- 

 west arm of Crab lake, over which the canoe route is carried by a 

 short portage of 100 paces. Cameron river, however, does not flow 

 into Crab lake, but continues its course through Wolf lake north- 

 ward to Korb lake, in section 1. Where the river leaves Wolf 

 lake it is narrow and shallow for a distance of about 50 paces and 

 light canoes scrape the gravelly bottom, but below it widens and 

 deepens into a large stream. Just before reaching Korb lake 

 boulders in the bottom break the flow into shallow rapids where 

 it is necessary to lighten loads and even to portage in low stages 

 of the river. From Korb lake Cameron river passes into section 

 31 of Township 64-13 and maintains a good size until near the 

 entrance into Clear lake where it runs aground for 200 paces over 

 a bed of boulders. Clear lake is a beautiful stretch of water ex- 

 tending for five miles westward in Township 64-14. One arm 

 of Clear lake reaches south and borders the Reserve in section 2. 

 From Krystal lake in section 7, 8, 17 and 18 a stream, which 

 could be made navigable in high water flows north into Glen- 

 more lake and thence west toward the Vermilion basin. In sec- 

 tion 6 two lakes drain the northwest corner also to the west.
