At point on Mud Run, or Mud Run
Creek, and where Panther Creek joins
its limpid waters with the first men
toned stream, stands an elegant new
house of the dimensions of a good sized
country hotel. II was erected during
the past year by NJ S. Kemmerer, the
well known coal operator and capital
ist of Mauch Chunk. The place is call
ed Hawkmere, says the Wilkesbarre
Record, and is so remote from all other
human associations or lines of travel
that no one, not even a book agent,
could frame an excuse of visiting it,.
1t is in this isolated and romantic spot
that Mr., Kemmerer designs to enter
tain his friends until a new club, which
is now under way, is ready to assume
full control of the building and its
wild acres under the title of the Rod
and Gud Club. The greatest charm of
the place to the sportsmen, however, is
its trout streams, and the value of
these may be judged of when it is
stated on the authority of a gentleman
who was present that in three days OF
last week a party consisting of Mr.
Kemmerer and a few friends caught
9Sl trout.
