HUNTING AND FISHING GROUNDS AND PLEASURE RESORTS. 
here plainly to be seen by the scientist, 
the beautiful lakes and streams alive with 
delicious fish, the romantic inlets and 
bays extending for miles inland, yet so 
narrow that the rocky walls seem to over- 
hang but to crush the intruder, all com- 
bine their peculiar charms to delight the 
tourist. Isle Royale is distant but twen- 
ty-five miles from Prince Arthur’s Land- 
ing, whence it is easiest visited. It can- 
not be excelled in its brock-trout, and 
the scenery is unsurpassed in grandeur. 
Thunder Bay on the north shore of 
Lake Superior, is about twenty-five miles 
in length, and from ten to fifteen miles 
wide, and into it flow many streams 
abounding in speckled trout. Thunder 
Cape on the east, is a most remarkable 
and bold highland, being elevated one 
thousand three hundred and fifty feet 
above Lake Superior. It rises in some 
places almost perpendicularly, presenting 
a basaltic appearance and bearing on its 
summit evidence of an extinct volcano. 
Another interesting object is Pie Island, 
so called from its formation. It isa huge 
stone eight hundred feet high, situated 
near the centre of the entrance to Thun- 
der Bay north of Isle Royale. The scen- 
ery along the norti shore of Lake Supe- 
rior is everywhere wild and romantic, 
but especially about Thunder Bay and 
to the eastward. The entrance to Nepi- 
gon Bay is fifty miles east from Thunder 
Cape. 
But few white men have explered this 
stream, as the time required, together 
with the fatigue and hardship to be borne 
have deterred many from the attempt. 
The sportsman can conveniently go from 
Ashland to Prince Arthur’s, and engage 
boats and guides from that point Ifthe 
time of the tourist is limited he may en- 
joy ina three or fonr day’s trip from 
Ashland, a delightful sale on the lake,

and view from the deck of the steamer, 
Isle Royale, Pie Island, Thunder Cape 
and Bay, and other interesting features 
of the north shore, and also skirt the 
‘south shore from Kagle River and Har- 
bor on Keweenaw Point westward, the 
steamer touching at Houghton, Hancock, 
and Ontonagon on its return to Ash- 
land. 
Fort William, a post of the Hudson 
Bay Company, is situated near the mouth 
of the Kaministiquia River, which flows 
into Thunder Bay six miles southwest of 
Prince Arthur’s. The stream, like all the 
rivers on the north shore, is filled with 
rapids, and at some distance above Fort 
William there is a beautiful fall of water 
two hundred feet in height. 
EAU CLARE, WISCONSIN. 
Kau Clare, Wisconsin, is regarded by 
a gentleman who has lived in that sec- 
tion for the past sixteen years, as the 
sportsman’s paradise. Large game, such 
as deer and bear, have always been plen- 
ty and are yet, and as for chickens and 
grouse, that country is hard to beat. 
Trout are found in every stream, al- 
though some of them have been over- 
fished. A party of four gentlemen, who 
were visiting some of the lamber-camps 
about eighty-five miles northeast of Kau 
Clare, caught four hundred trout in two 
hours’ time out of some ponds that had 
been formed by placing dams across a 
creek in order to float logs down in the 
Spring. The trout were large, and aver- 
aged about half a pound each. It is im- 
possible to get nearer than twelve miles 
of these streams with a team in Summer. 
Eau Clare can be reached via Chicago, 
Minneapolis & St. Paul Railway, and 
the train that leaves Chicago at 9 Pp. . 
will land passengers at destination in 
time for dinner next day.
