24 NORTHERN LAKES. 



There was once one we knew on the "Omaha line" who spoke dis- 

 tinctly, but he either died or was promoted. 



At PHILLIPS the sportsman can find almost anything he 

 desires in the way of game and fish. Elk Lake is but a few rods 

 from the hotels, and in the immediate vicinity are numerous trout 

 streams. 



The region north of Phillips is a perfect paradise for those who 

 enjoy camp life and canoeicg. The numerous streams and lakes 

 tributary to the FLAMBEAU and CHIPPEWA RIVERS furnish 

 unlimited sport to the angler for bass, pike, pickerel, muskalongc and 

 perch. In many of these lakes and streams none but Indians have 

 ever fished. The muskalonge, which are very plentiful, frequently 

 weigh as much as forty pounds; so bring your heaviest tackle. 



At PENOKEE the scene changes. Mountains whose summits 

 reach seventeen hundred feet above the lake have taken the place of 

 hills, and a rushing boisterous stream, the place of a quiet brooklet. 

 "The Dalles," and the rapids of Bad River breaking through the 

 hills and between towering rocks make many a delightful picture. 

 In passing through Penokee Gap the railroad crosses Bad River 

 seventeen times in a distance of nine miles. 



SILVER CREEK, eighteen miles from Ashland, is a favorite 

 point for parties making Ashland their headquarters, to run out to 

 in the morning on the train and return at night. 



In the immediate vicinity of Silver Creek are the famous trout 

 and bass streams Brunswieler, Trout Brook and Marengo. English 

 Lake near by is also noted for its fish. Twelve miles further north 

 is the great iron bridge over White River, 1,560 feet long and 

 102 feet above the water. The scenery from the summit of the 

 bridge is simply grand. The eye can look over the tops of trees, 

 across rugged cliffs and through the deep, winding canon on either 

 side for a distance of from five to twelve miles. 



Back in the forest from Silver Creek station are two falls in the 

 Bad River, one sixty and tbe other fifty feet high, and the two in. 

 one view. _=_ z =_
