short river, and so into Cameron’s 
Lake. Another short river trip brings 
us into Sturgeon Lake ; then through 
Pigeon and Buckhorn lakes into Deer 
and Salmon Trout lakes. In all these 
lakes the fishing is good; trout, black 
bass, maskalonge, and lunge are plen- 
tiful, with good duck and partridge 
shooting in Fall. Deer shooting is 
also good about the upper lakes after 
leaving Salmon Trout Lake. Go by 
rail, or follow the Ottanabee River in 
a skiff to Hiawatha Village, on Rice 
Lake. Good bass and maskalonge fish- 
ing; duck shooting in Fall, "Then 
by rail to Cobourg on Grand Trunk, 
and so to Toronto and home. When 
in Boshkung Lake it is but a short 
distance, with comparatively few 
portages, to Trading Lake. Then 
down the South Branch of Muskoka 
River and through Muskoka Lake to 
Grayenhurst, where the Northern 
Railway is taken for Toronto. 
PRINCE ARTHUR'S LANDING, 
George T. Marks, Esq., residing at | 
Prince Arthas Landing, Province of 
Ontario, furnishes the following in re- 
gard to the hunting and fishing lo- 
calities, hotels, &e., in that latitude:

on the north shore of Lake Superior, 
two hundred miles northwest of Du- 
lInth, in the District of Algona and 
Province of Ontario, Dominion of 
Canada. It is within eighty miles by |

ed trout grounds, and may be reach- | 
ed from Duluth by the steamers of 
either the Collingwood or Sarnia lines, | 
two boats of each line leaving Duluth | 
every week during the season of navi-

Collingwood — these places being ac- 
cessible, the former by the Grand 
Trunk and Great Western railways of 
Canada, and the latter by the North- 
ern and Hamilton and Northwestern 
railways of Canada. 
«There are two first-class hotels at 
Prince Arthur’s Landing, viz: The 
Queens, James Flaherty, proprietor, 
and The Pacitic, John P. Vigars, pro- 
prietor. Board from $1.50 to $2 per 
day; reduced rates by the week or 
month. Sailboatand man may be had 
for $3 per day. In addition, there 
are three steamers which may be char- 
tered at from $15 to $30 per day, to 
convey tourists to Nepigon and out- 
standing trout streams, of which there 
are—Carp River, fourteen miles south 
of Prince Arthur’s Landing ; Maken- 
zie River, fourteen miles, and Blende 
River, twenty-five miles, both north- 
east, from this place, while MeVicar’s 
Creek empties into the bay in the 
outskirts of the town, and Current 
River two miles from here. On the 
latter streams good fishing may be 
had by walking out them two to three 
miles. Another creek crosses a col- 
onization road (the Dawson Route) 
six miles out, and still another river 
(Neebing) crosses the Oliver township 
six iniles out. The latter stream has 
hardly ever been fished, owing to it 
haying been inaccessible till the Fall 
of 1878, when the road was built. Of 
all these streams, Carp River is pro- 
bably the finest fishing, the largest 
fish having been caught—a four- 
pounder (trout) being no uncommon 
occurrence. No licenses are required 
to fish any of these streams. The sea- 
son (trout) is from the 15th of May 
to the 15th of September. Good sport 
trolling for pickerel and pike of large
