“The very apex of Mt. Thielsen is about large enough for two men 
to stand without crowding each other off,” said Mr. Stone this morn- 
ing. “The last twenty-five feet of the peak is not more than ten feet 
in diameter, and is smooth except for a few narrow crevices. It is 
our plan when we go again to drive railroad spikes in these crevices, 
climb up on them as we drive them, and when we get as far as we 
can go this way, to throw a rope over the apex. We will have to 
throw the rope about fifteen or twenty feet, and pull ourselves up by it. 
“IT have been on nearly every notable peak in the world, except 
those of the Himalyas, and from none is the sight so enthralling as 
the one from Mt. Thielsen, even from the point within twenty feet 
of the very top, where I was. I could see far into Nevada, could see 
Mt. Shasta and Mt. Lookout, Diamond Peak, Mt. Pitt, Mt. Scott, the 
Three Sisters, Yamsay and Mt. Bailey, besides many lesser peaks, the 
names of which I do not know. 
“Fish Lake is fifteen miles from Mt. Thielsen, and on the oppo- 
site side of the peak from that on which I climbed the peak. By lean- 
ing slightly and stretching my neck, I got just a glimpse of Fish Lake, 
and that only with my left eye. So ticklish was my position and so 
difficult was it for me to maintain my equilibrium that I didn’t take a 
second glimpse or try to see the lake with both eyes.” 
I took several pictures of the surrounding country and of the 
peak from where Mr. Melhase and I were forced to stop. We were back 
' in camp at 6:15 and Mr. Stone came in about one-half hour later. We 
saw some bear sign on the mountain side and Mr. Stone saw cougar 
tracks. 
The next day we broke camp and going around by Fort Klamath, 
which is about six miles further than the Chiloquin road, we arrived 
in Klamath Falls with a fine coat of sunburn and dust. 

BROWNSVILLE HUNTERS GET FINE 
DEER IN ALSEA 
By Everett EarLe STANARD. 
Three Brownsville hunters, 
Messrs. Amon, Andrews and 
Standish, penetrated the Alsea 
country recently and were suc- 
cessful in bagging two deer. 
For the benefit of the readers of 
“The Oregon Sportsman,” I 
have submitted picture of one 
of the heads. This shows well 
the three tips on one side and 
the two on the other. The hunt 
took place upon the mountain 
known as “Gravel Ridge’—the 
date October 4th. In conclu- 
sion I may add that one of the 
party, Mr. Standish, is a mem- 
ber of the flourishing Browns- 
ville Rod and Gun Club. A pic:

peared in the April “Sportsman.”
