274 MISCELLANEOUS. 



North Wisconsin railroad, to Cable. From there (a distance 

 of two miles) you can get a team to take you out. 



I have spun this narrative to a much greater length'than I 

 intended. We packed our two largest pike in ice, and I 

 brought them to Chicago. Dr. Velie, secretary of the 

 Academy of Sciences, one of the most skillful taxidermists in 

 the West, has mounted my twenty-three pounder in fine 

 style. 



Mr. Powers has also had his twenty pounder mounted. We 

 brought several of the large pike with us, and about a hun- 

 dred pounds of bass. The others that we caught we either 

 ate, returned to the water while alive, or gave to people at the 

 camps, so that none were wasted.
