The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1911-05-12

The country lying north and
west of Ely, Minnesota, in the
northeastern part of the state near
Lake Superior, is a network of
lakes and rivers along the Canadian
boundary, and includes within its
area the Superior Forest and Game
Preserve. Here i'll the great pine
forests the lordly moose is making
his last stand against civilization
This country had long appealed
to me as being an ideal place in
which to spend a vacation. AT
last an opportunity offered for a
camping and canoeing trip through
the Superior Forest and Game Pre-
serve; and at once took advantage
of it.
Leaving Duluth over the Duluth
and Iron Range railroad the first
point of interest on my trip was
Two Harbors. The railway for
twenty seven miles follows the
north shore of Lake Superior,
affording the tourist beautiful,
panoramic view of this ar-famed
body of water-the largest body of
fresh water on the globe.
At Two Harbors one has a good
view of the great ore docks, six in
number. Numerous vessels were
busily engaged in loading with ore
at these docks. The sight engaged

for about two miles, then swung
north through a chain of little
lakes, and after fifty yard por-
tage came to another known as
Battle" portage, good one
hundred rods across.
This brought us into Lac La
Croix.
A heavy wind had raised a
tremendous sea so we went into
camp for the balance of the day.
We amused ourselves with fishing
from the shore landing several big
pike and pickerel. Later we tried
to get a photograph of bull moose
which wandered near camp. Joe
was a capital tracker, and followed
the animals trail for a long
distance. He managed to elude us
at last, however, and we returned
without our animal photograph.
Next morning we found the lake
much smoother and we started
bright and early. We skirted the
shore of Shortiss Island, two miles
north. Here, on the face of a
rocky cliff that rises high above the
water are a number of Indian paint
ings done in a beautiful red. They
consist of drawings of moose and
deer, Indians. wigwams, etc. Joe
said the oldest Indians in the
country had no knowledge of how
long these paintings had been there,
or by whom they were executed.
1t was tradition that they had been
there for many hundreds of years.
Leaving this interesting spot we
journeyed for hours across the
waters of the beautiful La Croix.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1911-05-12

sixty rods long. We launched the
canoe in a river, or chain of
lakes, and padded along this
waterway for about three miles to
Pipestone Falls. Here there is a
portage of about fifty rods, on the
east side of the channel. This
brought us into Eastwood lake.
1t was quiet day and the placid
surface of this lovely lake was
mirror-like. We padded leisarely
along, stopping now and then to
stroll along the shore or to explore
some of the numerous islands with
which the lake is dotted. For two
hours we trolled for pickerel, and
landed fine mess. The pickerel,
in these cold northern waters, is
most excellent eating and is readily
caught with medium sized
Skinner spoon.
We had hardly landed our last
fish when Joe. scanning the skies,
announced: Heap big rain soon.
Heavy clouds were soon rolling
rapidly, to the zenith, and as we
had some distance to go to reach a
cabin we knew of, the old Indian
gave an exhibition of how fast he
could shoot the canoe through the
water when necessity demanded
We reached the cabin before the
storm broke, which saved us the
delay and bother of setting up the
tent.
The summer storm was over
almost as quickly as it gathered and
the sun broke out, bright and clear.
AS the light was excellent and the
clouds rather unusual / had Joe

By A. w. TAFT.

On reaching Burnside Lake l
found my friend Mr.. Brownell,
with another launch, waiting to
take me to his summer home,
located on a beautiful island near
the landwing. On the way we
passed Indian island and the sum
mer home of Mr.. Pattison.
After dinner we started on a
cruise around the lake. The trip
revealed endless vistas of pine
covered shores, and islands too
numerous to mention. From the
end of north bay to the west end of
the lake, and thence to the outlet,
we doubled back and forth among
the islands that rose high and rocky
above the water. 1 climbed the
hill at the south end of the lake and
secured some pictures that show
the numerous islands and the
wooded hills beyond.
From this point / crossed to the
Indian Island and spent few hours
among the Indians living there.
This was an interesting spot.
Birch-bark canoes in various stages
of building were scattered about.
l longed to stay and see one of the
graceful craft completed under the
skilled hands of the old squaw who
was busily lashing a large piece of
birch-bark to the gunwale with a

tom, and when young buck ap-
preached and handed me an alarm

ed to me at first that l had been
appointed official time-keeper of
the affair. But 1 was soon un-
deceived, and falling in with the
custom, and the humor of the oc-
casion, was soon shutting about
with my partner, trying, as best 1
could, and to the great amusement
of the Indians, to initiate their
cries of Hi! Vii Ki! vi!
l became exceedingly popular
and soon had a collection of gifts.
A young squaw secured dance by
presenting me with a piece of
calico. l parted with my pearl
handled knife in return.
The crafty old chief gave me his
coat, and intimated that my Colt
six-sfooter would be an adequate
return. But / compromised by
handing him hunting knife in
stead,
Joe got rid of his coat, blankets,
knife, and about everything he
owned.
After a few hours of this l re-
turned to my tent. But the nerve

my attention until the train round
ed curve and shut off the view
Noon found me engaged in get
ting my outfit from the baggage
car at Ely. Piling it on waiting
dray, was soon taking III the
sights of the town. I first secured
hotel accommodation, which l found
good, and reasonable in price; and
then arranged to spend the next
day in viewing the iron mines of
which there are five within half
mile of the town. Accompanied
by an obliging guide 1 descended
the shaft of the Pioneer mine to a
depth af 100 feet. After visiting
the different workings, which are
most interesting, 1 was hoisted to
the surface, to find that the weather
had cleared, and from storm had
changed to fine sunny day.
1 then chartered a launch, and
with my camera, proceeded to ex-
plore Long Lake, on the shore of
which Ely is located. The Lake is
over five miles long, and with its
many islands offers pleasant spot
for camp near Ely. There are
many lighthouses and numerous
camping-sites.
At the west end of the lake we
entered the stream which flows into
Long Lake from Burnside Lake.
1t was two miles to the portage.
Here we left the launch and follow
ed the boardwalk. The lake is
twelve miles long and contains
over a hundred islands. Another
way to reach it is to drive from
Ely, six miles, over a good road.

spruce root.
The following day we explored
the eastern end of the lake, &C
companied by Indian Joe, whom I
had engaged as guide for my pur-
posed trip through the forest pre-
serve from Ely to Tower.
The next day Iretraced my steps
to Ely to prepare for the trip
through the big game preserve.
was fortunate in securing an
excellent canoe from one of the
boat -houses. Canoes can readily
be had, at numerous places, and
are staunch and safe.
Loading the canoe and outfit on
a wagon we were taken to Winton-
four miles-which saved us a long,
hard portage from Long Lake into
Fall lake. The water was low,
and we saved much time and hard
work by using the team.
Arriving at Fall Lake we slipped
the canoe into the water, babe our
driver Goodbye, and myself in
the bow and Indian Joe in the
stern, we padded merrily across to
the spot where the Kawishawi River
empties into the lake. We stopped
to view the falls here but found
them somewhat disappointing
owing to the low water. Usually
these falls are we'll worth the trip
to see. From this point we swung
across the lake to the north side
where the outlet is located.
The trip across the lake was
somewhat exciting as brisk wind
had kicked up some rather stiff
waves and we were hard pressed
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1911-05-12

Sometimes we slipped closely
along under the base of some sheer,
rocky cliff, trolling for pike and
muskies. Several times, far
down in the depths of the clear
water we saw great sturgeon. One
OF these Joe said would weigh not
less than two hundreds pounds.
On La Croix there are many fine
sand beaches. We landed several
times to explore, and take photo
graphs.
Noon found us halfway down
the lake; and we stopped for dinner
at an island opposite the Indian
Village on the Lac La Croix River.
We had padded about fifteen miles
since morning.
After good rest the canoe was
headed north for the reservation
villages.
On reaching the village 1 started
off at once, with my camera, while
Joe busted himself in slowing the
supplies in an old cabin. 1 was
greeted by the everlasting Indian
dogs, and fairly waded through
these wolf-like creatures for about
twenty rods. 1t was only by
smashing several of the most savage
brutes over the nose with my heavy
revolver that l was able to shake
them off / managed to reach the
tepee of the chief at last. He
greeted me cordially and l managed
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1911-05-12

to carry on a conversation with
him half in Chippewa and half in
English.
/ was delighted to learn that a
pow-wow was to be held that very
night. l improved the opportun-
ity to make myself solid" with
the chief by present of a pound of
tobacco, and then resumed my tour
of the village.
A number of Indian boys were
shooting at a mark with bows and
arrows, and I encouraged the game
by offering a prize of a penny set
up in cleft stick. 1t was perfectly
marvellous the ease with which the
young lads would use their bows.
Scattered here and there were
groups of Indians seated about the
small fires. The old squaws were
making little trinkets of birch
bark, bead-work, etc.; the bucks
were, as always just loafing.
Just as the sun was setting we
heard the pom pom" of the drum
calling the Indians from far and
near to the pow-wow or dance. A
large circular structure was soon
filled by the braves, who danced
around the musicians, six in mum
Der, who occupied the center OF
the floor. The musicians kept up
continual, monotonous pounding
of big drums.
When one Indian wished to
dance with another he simply Of
fered him present of some priced
article. Sometimes the gift was
a blanket, sometimes a knife, an
old piece of calico, or something OF
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1911-05-12

ending pom-pom" of the drums
made it impossible to sleep. I
called the old chief and offered him
another pound of tobacco if he
would call the thing off. He de-
INJURED, trying to get me TO in
crease my offer by the addition of
pound of tea and some bacon.
This was a little too much, so I
declared the negotiations indefnit-
ely postponed.
The next morning all the Ind
lars were at the landing place to
see us off. We were bound down
the lake to Loon portage which
they told us was about half days
paddle.
On the way we saw several Stur-
geon leap clear of the water. One
of the huge fish was certainly over
six feet in length.
About half way down the lake
we stopped at fine sand beach.
l tramped about in the woods for
an hour or so and killed several fine
ruff1ed grouse-known here as par
tridges, with my six-shooter. Joe
caught some fish, in the meantime,
and these, with the birds, replen-
ished our larder most acceptably.
We reached the lower end of the
lake about one o'clock, and while
Joe was frying the grouse / tried to
secure photo of a big bull moose
that blundered on our camp. 1
was once more doomed to disap-
pointment as the moose escaped in
