there is a dense growth of grass and berry bushes. The temperature of the lake 
water was 55° F. About the middle of the northern shore there is a feeder, which 
is said to be a lake connection. Near the entrance point it has a width of 60 feet, 
depth of 4 inches, and a 2-knot current, flowing over a coarse gravel bottom. About 
1 mile from the lake and just beyond a large island the feeder has a fall of 7 feet 
sheer, and one-half mile above this there is a heavy cascade extending a length of 
100 feet and having sheer falls of 2 to 3 feet. There is also a cascade in the branch 
that flows around the western side of the island, but the branch on the eastern side 
is clear. The temperature of the water in the feeder, 2 miles from the lake, was 
50° F. The feeder was followed for a distance of 2 A miles, until it was apparent 
that no fish could go farther, but no other lake was seen, though it is reported by 
the natives that there are two more beyond. No fish were seen above the falls.
