A party of six mountaineers

walked into Usk: on Saturday,

after haying explored the Alpine
region to the east of the mining
town, the same, being by name
Mrs, Sherwood and Mrs. Farr, of

Terrace, Miss “Weatherhead and
Miss Kellégher of Usk, Mr. Tay-
lor and J. D. Wells, and a pack-
horse. They tell a wonderful
story of adventure. First they

had tu penétrate the dense forest

which everywhere clothes the

lower slopes before they met

easier going. Mr. Wells was the
guide and fried, and he:took care
to restrain the girls in their great
eagerness to ‘‘do’’ the several
glaciers which the tour brought
them near, and took care to lead
them safely past more than one
dangerous precipice, ~~

At Summit Lake, source of
Xleanza creek, 19 miles from Usk,
a. beautiful sheet of water one
mile long and about one-quarter
wide, three days were spent in
whipping the waters, and the
party, in one two-hour session,
landed 130 finny beauties. The
following day was spent in add-
ing to the gastronomic dainties,
and the menu card read trout,

cooked to brown finish, from!
entree to dessert, for breakfast,

dinner and supper—and the ap
petites were rapacious. Chief
Nimrod Taylor pronounces Sum-
mit Lake a fisherman’s paradise,
the most superb fly fishing eyer
indulged in and worth of greater
notice by the future nimrods and
lovers -of the sport, ;

At Silver Basin,.5,000 feet in

two davs on ES beautiful green
plateau, where the larder was
easily replenished in the snowy

tion was prodigal in its display

The party: sealed two conspicu-
