1260. Limestone, Baker River canyon, Washington. View on Baker river half a 



mile above its junction with the Skagit. The river flows through a canyon 

 which it enters from a broader valley carved in shales. The rock of the 

 canyon is crystalline limestone (No. 43/). 



1261. Salmon fishing and limestone, Baker River canyon, Washington (see 1260). 



View looking down Baker River canyon toward the Skagit (No. 44). 



1262. Crater lake, mount Rainier; elevation 5,200 feet. View of a lake on the 



northwest slope of mount Rainier, having a diameter of about half a mile. 

 It is probably a large crater. The rocks are glaciated and their rounded 

 form is shown in the point extending from the group of trees on the right 

 down to the lake (No. 3). 



1263. North Puyallup glacier, mount Rainier, from Eagle cliff. General view from 



same point as number 1264, showing the Puyallup canyon, about 2,000 feet 

 deep, and the Puyallup glacier in the distance (No. 7). 



1264. North Puyallup glacier, mount Rainier, from Eagle cliff. General view of 



the northwestern slope, comprising the Puyallup glacier and the Liberty 

 cap; elevation 14,000 feet. The head of "the glacier in the hollow on the 

 left is about four miles away, at an elevation of 10,000 feet. The terminus 

 of the glacier, consisting of two fan- like tongues, is lost in the lower right- 

 hand corner of the picture in the fog (No. 8). 



1265. Liberty cap from near Spray falls, mount Rainier. Detailed view of the 



northwestern slope, showing the central portion of the Puyallup glacier 

 and the precipitous slopes of the Liberty cap, which rises 3,500 to 4,000 

 feet above it (No. 4). 



1266. Evening on the northwestern slope of mount Rainier. View of the snow- 



fields, with a group of krummholtz in the foreground ; elevation about 

 7,000 feet. The summit of mount Rainier is about four miles distant, and 

 the intervening snow-fields are broken by crops of andesitic lavas and 

 scorige. The solid rock surfaces are extensively glaciated (no negative). 



1267. Northwestern slope from 10,000 feet, mount Rainier. View of the head of 



the Puyallup glacier and the Liberty cap, showing details of crevasses and 

 the distribution of snow in August, 1895 (No. 9).
