size may had at any time in the Ka- | postage. Prince Arthur’s Landing is 
ministiquia, three miles from Prince 
Arthur’s Landing; while from the Ist 
of September to the 1st of October 
any quantity of salmon trout may be 
caught trolling in the bays adjoining 
and in Thunder Bay. 
“ Partridge and duck shooting may 
be had, but to a limited extent, from 
the 1st of September on to the close 
of navigation ; and during the Win- 
ter months caribou shooting is to be 
had within twenty miles. But unfor- 
tunately we are almost inaccessible 
after navigation closes, as we have no 
railway until the Canadian Pacific is 
finished. 
“Of Nepigon, I need not speak—it 
is already so well known—except to 
say, Never buy a ticket to Nepigon, 
for the steamers seldom call there, al- 
though so advertised. The best plan 
is to purchase a ticket to Prince Ar- 
thur’s Landing only, and the sports- 
man, if he decides on going there, can 
charter one of the steamers or a sail- 
boat and go from here. This will save 
many disappointments and the pro- 
bability of being carried all around 
Lake Superior before being landed at 
Nepigon, if at all. 
“ All kinds of provisions and sup- 
plies, including tents, can be purchas- 
ed here, but visitors will do well to 
bring their fishing tacking tackle, as 
the supply of rods, hooks, and lines 
would not satisfy a veteran or even 
scientific fisherman. Indians and ca- 
noes may be had in abundance.” 
Any further information in regard 
to the sport to be had in that vicin- 
ity can be obtained by addressing Mr. 
Marks at Prince Arthur’s Landing, 
Province of Ontario, Canada, enclos- 
ing a three cent stamp for return 
also accessible from Ashland, Wiscon-

BACHEWANA BAY. 
Bachewana Bay is one of the most 
beautiful of Lake Superior’s many beau- 
tiful bays. There are some wilder in 
scenery, more abrupt in their shores, and 
with higher adjacent mountains. Thun- 
der Bay has a magnificence of view, with 
its grand old cape and the bold heights — 
of Pie Island, not to be equalled; but for 
a calm and quiet beauty, which charms 
to dreaminess and is full of restfulness, 
Bachewana Bay surpasses them all. En- 
tering it along the wooded coast of Gou- 
lais Point, which shuts out the view until 
the last little cape is turned, there comes 
suddenly upon one’s sight, clear and dis- 
tinct over the green island and the miles 
of quiet water, the mountains of its north- 
ern and eastern shores, while the sky and 
water are of that intense blue which 
seems so unreal upon canvas. ‘The moun- 
tain line extends beyond the actual 
shores of the bay on the southeast, so 
that it seems one unbroken chain away 
beyond where we know Goulais River 
lies, while upon the north the sharp gap 
through which Harmony pours its wa- 
ters comes into view, with the higher 
mountains seen through it beyond. And 
with the Summer sun casting the shadows 
of the clouds upon the bay and moun- 
tains, it will make a picture that will 
rival the Bay of Naples. The fishing 
all along the exposed points about Bach- 
ewana and Goulais bays is very fine, pro- 
bably as fine as almost any place along 
the whole lake shore, and as good fish 
are caught as anywhere except in the 
Nepigon. Many of the most experienced 
North Shore fishermen prefer this part 
of the coast to any other. The fishing
