Lakes with Tipo Outlets, in Minnesota. — Grant. 409 
Its two outlets are more than a mile apart and the water 
flows west through one and north through the other into Crab 
lake (about 1487 A. T.), the next lake of this series. This 
lake is of the same general nature as the last, being of very- 
irregular outline and entering seven sections in T. 63-9 W. 
The two outlets of Crab lake are less than a mile distant from 
each other in a direct line, but some three miles by the course 
which the water takes from the main body of the lake to the 
two outlets. Another lake (about 1451 A. T.) of the same 
character is comprised in seven sections in tiie southeastern 
part of T. 63-10 W. It has one outlet on the south and one on 
the west. The water which passes through the former flows 
southwest to Birch lake and then north to White Iron lake* 
and joins the water from the second outlet about six miles 
west of the parent lake, after having traveled some twenty 
miles. Mr. A. H. Elftman informs the writer that another one 
of the Kawishiwi River lakes, has, in times of high water, two 
outlets about a mile apart, but only one normally. This lake 
is a mile and a half long and is situated in sections 20 and 21. 
T. 63-8 W. 
Iron lake, Lac la Croix and Namekan lake, three lakes on 
the International boundary between St. Louis county, in 
Minnesota, and Ontario, each have two outlets. -j- The main 
outlet of the first flows north of the boundary through McAree 
lake and joins the boundary waters again in Lac la Croix. 
During high water and a stage of water only a little above 
the normal, Iron lake also has an outlet which flows westward 
and enters Lac la Croix about five miles south of the other 
outlet. The main outlet of Lac la Croix is the Namekan river 
which flows from the north side of the lake. During high 
water another stream leaves the southwest corner of the lake 
and follows the International boundary to Namekan lake in- 
to which flows the Namekan river. The land included be- 
tween these two outlets of Lac la Croix, from this lake till
