Lake Discovered in the Cas- 

 cades: — A lake twelve miles long 

 and six wide, supposed to be the 

 source of the Cedar and Snoqualinie 

 rivers, has been discovered in the 

 Cascade mountains to the north. 

 The waters abound in fish; the bea- 

 ver makes it his home, and mountain 

 sheep and other game are numerous 

 in tne vicinity, Messrs. Hill and 

 Imloch of Tacoma, are said to be the 

 only white men who have visited 

 this Lake. An Indian trail was found 

 leading to it but from appeai'ances 

 had not been used for many years. 

 Its elevation is 4,500 feet.

 exceedingly fine agricultural paper
