they might spend their outing on Clear lake and return to Ely 

 by the same route. 



There are several good camping places on the lake, a deer 

 would be seen occasionaly and moose are not unknown there. 



Canoes can be rented at reasonable rates in Ely and the 

 necessary provisions secured there. The camping outfit and 

 personal effects are all that would have to be brought along. 



A Trip For Photographers. 



Practically all people who are fond of canoeing are likewise 

 "camera fiends" and the trip outlined below is for those who 

 do not hesitate to tackle a route where the portages are not 

 strewn with roses nor yet paved with marble. 



Photographing wild animals is an alluring sport, but to be 

 successful in it and get a lot of good negatives it is necessary 

 that the trip be made during the period in June when the 

 mosquito and "bull dog" flies are holding high carnival in the 

 woods, driving the deer and moose to the water for temporary 

 relief. The would-be photographer may be looking for relief 

 himself, and he usually finds it by inventing some of the most 

 lurid and expressive cuss words known to man. 



Starting from Ely the route crosses Long lake, follows up 

 Burntside river, where a portage of 88 rods leads into Burnt- 

 side lake, crossing Burntside make a mile portage into Crab 

 lake, 20 rods from there into Little Crab, then down a stream 

 that heads from that lake, a lift-out 10 rods long on the creek 

 and you are in Korb lake. The river flows from the north end 

 of Korb and about two miles down it is a 30-rod portage into 

 Clear lake. From Clear a portage 1% miles takes you into 

 Moose lake, which would be about the end of the first day's 

 travel. An island in the north end of Moose lake has a nice 

 camping place cleared out. West of the island a portage leads 

 into Moose river, following down that stream there are about 

 eight portages (depending on the stage of water) to Nina- 

 Moose lake. You are now in the moose country, and all that 

 is required is to look around. The moose are in the water at 

 all times of the day and night when the flies are bad. When
