FROM Ely To SACNACA
An Ideal Vacation Trip Through Country UnbOken and Astounding
Came Just What You Need

The Miner is daily in receipt of
letters asking for information
covering the canoe trips out from
this city. The Ely canoe trips
have become recognized through
out the United States as the ideal
way of spending the vacation.
Already, so far this year and the
season has not actually begun,
dozens of parties are making the
trip. The returning travellers are
loud in their praises of the country,
scenery, climate, fishing and the
chances to see the moose and deer
in all their glory.
For the benefit of those wanting
information, we publish the follow
ing account of all outing by A. w.
TAFT, which gives all the informa-
ton desired, In an issue a year
ago we gave full account of the
trip by canoe from Ely to Tower
via the border lakes. The trip at
present given is over the Kawshiwi
route and is equally as interesting
as the Ely to Tower trip. Mr..
TAFT is a good writer and the story
will be interesting. He says:
To the sportsman who would
journey through country of un-
rivaled beauty, a network of lakes
and rivers, the haunt of the big

him. Later in the afternoon an
old COW moose and calf came up
within sight of our camp and began
feeding. Though the light was
poor, l took up my big camera and
started to make detour through
the brush in order to photograph
them. In working around through
the thicket, l cafue suddenly upon
a big moose lying down. He start
ed away with a crash, frightening
the COW and calf, and again l lost
my chance of obtaining a photo
graph. Though l deeply regretted
their getting away from me. I felt
that the excitement of stalking
these huge animals more than COM
pensated me for my loss. The fol-
lowing day we saw several moose

lake is long and narrow with high
rocky shores rising in many places
to height of several hundred feet.
The scenery is magnificent all along
this section of the route. At one
place on the shores of this lake may
be found an old Indian gallery, the
paintings being drawn on the face
of the cliff. Camping places will
be found at the upper end of the
lake. Reaching this point, we
camped for the night and proceeded
to cook Our evening meal. We had
been fairly successful coming up
the lake, having hooked nice
string of fish. They were pickerel,
of course, but the waters of the
lake being very cold, the quality of
the fish is excellent The follow

giving the distance and direction to

leave camp in neat condition.
Burn all paper and rubbish on your
camp fire. Dispose of cans by
throwing in hole and covering with
dirt.
Phase build your fire in place pro-
vided for and be sure it is out be-
fore leaving. If you cut bows for
bed, lop and pile the brush not
used.
They ask you to take these sim
pie precautions, to insure the fol-
lowing campers a pleasant camp
site, and as safeguard against
forest fires.
Supply yourself with good
compass, chopping axe, blankets,
tent, good safe canoe and plenty
provisions. Take at least one-third
more provisions than you think
you need-you may be held up
three or four days by storms on
some of the larger lakes. Carry
materials for repairing canoes in
case of punctures or accidents.
Never build a camp fire against
log or stump; always against rock
if possible. Be sure and ex-
tinguish fires before leaving; this
is very important. Take guide
along, unless you are an expert
enced canoe man and can follow a
map and know how to take care of
yourself if lost or accidents should
occur.
CANOE TRIP FROM ELY TO TOWER.
The canoe route from Ely to
Tower is considered by many to be
the best in the country taking the
tourist as it does through Fall lake
into Eastwood, then following the
boundary waters from the outlet of
this beautiful lake around pictur-
esque falls and through swirling
rapids into the waters of Crooked
lake; thence into Lac La Croix, a
lake long famed for it's magnificent
scenery and good fishing. On the
shore of this lake an old Indian
picture gallery will be found on the
face of cliff. Here the Indian
artist of long ago painted scenes
and drew pictures of moose, deer,
ETC., that have withstood the storms
of centuries. Padding along to
the outlet an Indian village is
reached, which is we'll worth visit.
The route from here swings to the
southwest, crossing a portage into
Loon lake, then down the Little
Vermi1ion river into Sand point,
and through the narrows into Crane
lake, this bringing the canoeistto
the mouth of the Vermilion river,
at which place supplies may be
purchased. Up the river from this
point is the most picturesque part
of the route. Arriving at Yer
million Dam the tourist may con-
tinue the trip across the lake to
Tower by canoe, or take passage
on one of the steamers which plies
between this place and all points
on the lake. This trip can be
made in about IS days.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1913-06-27

into Saganaga from the south.
Swinging across the north side
of the lake, a beautiful waterfall is
reached which is well worth a visit,
for its scenic worth as well as the
fine fishing afforded at this place,
the fails being 40 feet high, and a
great volume of water going over
at this point. Starting back from
here on our return trip over the
same route, We iourneyed down to
Big Knife lake, at which point we
met band of Indians who were
travelling up the lake and camped
near them. Their mode of camp
life is exceedingly interesting, Of
fering quite study to those in
terested in these primitive people.
Continuing on down the lake, we
again tried the bass fishing on the
Canadian side for few hours and
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1913-06-27

fishing to secure a nice string.
Breaking camp, we swung back out
into Birch lake and continued on
our journey along the boundary
waters, portaging 4Srods into Carp
lake. Two short and one long
partages around some very rough
rapids and we dipped our paddles
into the clear waters of Knife lake.
Here indeed was a beautiful body
of water, clear and cold, with we'll
timbered shores, dotted here and
there with many islands, some of
which arose high and rocky above
the waters edge. We did not tarry
long here, but continued on up to
the east of the lake, reaching which
we portrayed so yards and again re-
sumed our journey, this time on
the waters of Cypress lake, some
times called Other Track. The

lake. This proved to be an ex-
cellent place for moose and deer,
quite number being seen. The
moose were very difficult to ap-
proach, however, and Twas unable.
to secure any photographs of them.
Following the water course on
through to the Big Saganaga, we
soon found ourselves viewing the
beauties of this farfamed lake, and
climbing bluff near the inlet we
stood enraptured at the view which
was spread before US. The we'll,
wooded shores. the many islands,
the deep bays, the numerous rice
beds over which the wAd fowl flew,
made a picture whichsI shall long
remember. A big btiH moose was
discovered feeding tnsone. of the

United States Point we camped for
the night on a beautiful island near
the Canadian shore. The trip so
far had been an uneventful one,
but in spite of this Our appetites
were whetted by six hours of con-
tinuous padding and we ate heartily
of fried pike, bacon and hot biscuits,
l having tried my hand at manu-
featuring the latter, while Charlie
set up the tent and prepared our
camp for the night. Needless to re-
late, sleep was not long in coming
to either of us on our bed of balsam
boughs.
Getting an early start the next
morning, we padded eastward,
trolling now and then in hopes of
landing a big one. Eastwood lake
is famous for big fish but for some
unaccountable reason they failed to
connect with our lure. Reaching
Prairie Portage shortly before din
ner, we proceeded to catch good
string of pike. Landing a great
many more than we could use our
selves, we unloaded our surplus on
the cook of a rafting crew camped
near by. After dinner we portag-
ed distance of about SO rods
around the beautiful rapids at
this point and launched our canoe
into the waters of Birch lake.
Padding about four miles up to
where little stream flows in from
Bass lake on the Canadian side, we
swung in here and camped for the
night.
The following morning we were
up bright and early and having Sc
cured some bait tried our hand at
catching a few black beauties. The
bass were not biting very good,
but we managed in three hours
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1913-06-27

canoe over for a stalk and SLOWLY
padded down toward him, watch
ing carefully until he put his head
under the water to feed on juicy
lily root. We would paddle swiftly
for awhile, checking up as he raised
his head, then speeding again
when he lowered it. In this way
we managed to get fairly close and
photographed him with his head
under water, when next he raised
his head out of the water he gazed
with great surprise upon an island
which had floated down upon him
and Immediately began to churn up
the mud i'll terrific manner as he
headed for the shore. l managed
to get another picture of him as he
swan away. 1t was all very excit-
ing, and l decided that it was
greater sport to hunt with camera
than with a rifle. The succeeding
day were filled with similar adj
ventures. The fly season being
over, the lily pounds were sought
by the huge beasts only at feeding
time, early morning and late after
noon, However, we succeeded in
overtaking a COW moose after an
exciting race across the lake, bump
ing her with the canoe several
times. In one days run in this
vicinity | counted 20 moose, all of
them in the water feeding.
Finding the south route to be a
very difficult ore, we turned back
to the North Kawishiwt and con-
tinued .our journey down this
beautiful stream. Camping at the
lower end of the long portage we
spent some time in trying to land a
muskalonge. This place has a
reputation as being the habitat of
these big fellows, but in the few
hours we fshed here a twenty
pound pickerel was the biggest fish
we landed, along with nice string
of pike, these being caught just be-
low the rapids. The Kawishiwi
river from its headwaters to its out
let into Fall Lake is all the canoeist
and angler could desire. There
are rapids to shoot every few miles,
and there certainly is fascination
about tearing down through some
of these bits of rough water, glid-
ing around dangerous rocks and
through swirling eddies, where a
wrong twist of the paddle means
disaster that will appeal to every
sportsman or tourist who has heard
the call of the wild. Journeying
on down the river we padded
through Farm Lake and landed our
expedition safe and sound at the.
White Iron road where it crosses
the outlet of White Iron lake.
From here / sent Matson over to
Section 80 mine to telephone for
dray to convey us back to Ely. On
its arrival we piled our outfit
and were soon jogging
along on the last leg of our journey,
reaching town in time for supper.
The entire trip had been most

ANNIVERSARY OF THE
 FIRST MARATHON RAGE

One of the gamest guys in the his tory of the world was Phidippides. the Greek sport who won the first Mara thon race Phidippides is dead, and his great feat is scarcely to be con sidered as news, since it was pulled off 2,4O3 years ago today, on Sept. g, 490 B. c.
 Tn those days the Greeks were the worlds best athletes, and their Olyn plan games always attracted a lot of stellar talent. Every Hellenic youth was trained in a gym" and physical torture Joints were as numerous in Athens as places in liquor refresh ment in a modern American city.
 According to that well-known and versatile author, MT. E. Brittanica, the occasion for Phtdippide's great stunt was like this. The Persians had in vaded Greece, intending to beneVo1- ently @assimilate the country, and the Greeks naturally resented such a pro ject. A little band of patriotic Greeks opposed the Persian hosts of Parlus on the plain of Marathon. To use vulgar. but expressive phrase, the Greeks licked the tar" out of the Persians. When the Greeks sought to send news of their victory to Athens they found that the telegraph wires had been cut. All the automobiles and horses had been put out of com mission, too, and there was nothing for it but for somebody to hoof it to Athens and carry the tidings to the so that the anxiety pre- vailing in the city might be relieved
 Phidippides, an Athenian lad who had won several medals as a Iong-dis- tance runner, volunteered for the job, and set a record that has never since been equa1led. He covered the tWen- ty-six miles and reached Athens with just breath enough to bIurt out that the PersiansT had got it in the neck, and then fell dead in his track. Such was the origin of the Marathon race. Before the battle Phtdipptdes had
