To the ever tncreasing thousands of true sportsmen,
summer visitors, and tourists who annually come among
us, and whom the State of Maine gladly welcomes within
her borders, this Gazetteer and Pathfinder of the Hunting
and Fishing Resorts of the State of Maine ts respectfully
dedicated by the author.

Augusta, February rst, 1900.

PREBACE.

The Pathfinder and Gazetteer of the Fishing and Hunt-
ing Resorts of the State of Maine, together with a Digest of
the laws pertaining to Inland Fisheries and Game, which
now appears for the first time, is intended to help the sports-
man, tourist, and summer visitor to Maine in planning his
vacation and disposing of his time to the best advantage, and
thus to enable him the more thoroughly to enjoy and appre-
ciate the section of this State he visits, and get the most
possible enjoyment in the time he can spend in vacation, or
on a fishing or hunting trip.

Many publications have been issued from time to time ad-
vertising some of the more prominent hunting and fishing
resorts of the State of Maine, all of them no doubt good, but
in each case only sections of the State are alluded to, and
were issued by parties particularly interested in the particu-
lar section advertised.

This book deals with the entire State, and is authorita-
tive, and it is believed that there will be found in every
locality substantially what is herein stated,—I have not
exaggerated in the least. Sportsmen with limited means,
who cannot afford to stop at high priced hotels, will find
herein where there are good fishing and hunting resorts,
where the expenses can be kept within the means of a
large class who cannot afford to patronize the highest priced
hotels.

The writer is L. T’. Carleton, Chairman of the Commis-
sioners of Inland Fisheries and Game of the State of Maine.

No one is better aware than the writer himself of the im-
perfections almost inseparable from the first edition of a guide
book.

In the preparation of this book the writer has received
most material aid from many old hunters, trappers, guides,
sporting camp proprietors, railroad officials, hotel proprietors
and the press of the State, and to these he particularly de-
sires to express his acknowledgment.

‘Go, little book. God send thee good passage.’’

THE STATE OF MAINE.

‘“The State of Maine is the easternmost portion of the
United States of America, and lies between 43 degs. 6 min.
and 47 degs. 27 min., 33 sec. N. Lat.; between 66 degs. 56
min. 48 sec. and 71 degs. 6 min. 41 sec. W. Lon. The 45th
parallel crosses the State within 30 miles of its geographical
center. ‘This position is almost precisely equidistant betwixt
the equator and the pole. In consequence of this position
the winds of Maine are variable, not constant like those of
the tropics, nor periodical like those of the Indian peninsulas.
They prevail during the year for a longer or shorter time
from every quarter of the compass. ‘The draft rarely pre-
vails from any one compass point for more than two or three
days successively, so that the various climatic phases attend-
ant upon change of wind follow one another in rapid succes-
sion. ,

It further results from the geographic position of the
State that rains in Maine are non-periodic. The mean eleva-
tion of a country is one of the most difficult of its physical
conditions to ascertain. After exploring all sources of infor-
mation I have concluded that the figures 600 feet nearly ex-
press the mean height of the State of Maine above the sea.
The mean or average temperature of the State is 62 deg. 43
min., while in the northern sections covered by forests it is
considerably lower than this.

‘‘The primeval woods of Maine cover an extent seven
times that of the famous ‘‘ Black Forest’’ of Germany at its
largest expanse in modern times. The States of Rhode
Island, Connecticut and Delaware could be lost together in
our northern forests, and still have about each a margin of
wilderness sufficiently wide to make its exploration without a
registered guide a work of desperate adventure.”’

There are 6000 streams represented upon the State map.
These ramifying into innumerable branches thread the sur-
face of the State by a fine net work of brooks, so that in all
parts it seems alive and in motion with running waters, a dis-
tinctive and characteristic feature, which strikes the attention
of sportsmen; there are upward of 1800 lakes and ponds
within the confines of the State, some of them being large,
while all of them are beautifully situated, and very accessible,
and in nearly all of them are found the square tailed trout,
and in a large proportion of them the land-locked salmon,
togue, black bass, white fish-and white perch. ;

Lake Sebago, in the southern part, near the city of
Portland, the metropolis of Maine, is a magnificent sheet of
water. In Kennebec county, Cobbosseecontee, Annabessa-
cook and Maranocook comprise a system of lakes ; the famous
chain of Belgrade lakes and ponds, wonderful in resources,
are the delight of thousands of sportsmen. Moosehead Lake,
Maine’s great inland sea, 40 miles in length, is known the
country over, and the Rangeley lakes are dear to the hearts
of fishermen in nearly every state in America. The Allegash,
in Aroostook county, is one of the most beautiful rivers in
Maine, passing through the very heart of a virgin forest. It
winds its way through lakes and ponds for more than a hun-
dred miles until it makes its junction with the St. John river,
which penetrates a country of surpassing loveliness. Square
Lake in the same county, and Grand Lake and the St. Croix
waters, in Washington county, are famed for their beauty
and attractiveness.

When it is realized that the area of the lakes, ponds and
rivers in Maine is more than two million acres, it must be ac-
knowledged that the State offers exceptional advantages to
the seeker after piscatorial sport.

II

The Mountains and Valleys of Maine.

The number of these, large and small, is of course, in-
definitely great. The loftiest single summit in Maine is Mt.
Katahdin, 5385 feet above the level of the sea. The valleys
partake of the plain rather than of the ravine character.
They consist mainly of broad tracts of country. Their sur-
face is variously broken and diversified by local elevations
and depressions.

General Observations.

There is not in all our borders a dangerous animal, raven-
ous reptile or poisonous insect. A person may camp under
his blanket anywhere in perfect security and safety.

The State of Maine has long enjoyed an unchallenged
reputation as pre-eminently a land for the sportsman. From
the New Hampshire line, where the Piscataqua River sepa-
rates the two commonwealths, to the Canadian border on the
north and west, it is undoubtedly true that there is more big
game and good fishing to the square mile than in any other
available state or country, for the huntsman and angler.
Other states and other countries may offer inducements to the
seeker after pleasure on land and water, but none in greater
measure than this State. Hunting and fishing is free every-
where in the State of Maine; that is, there is no license fee
required to hunt or fish in open season. No part of America
where game and fish abound is more easily reached, and
there are few trips indeed where the expenditure can be kept
within such reasonable bounds. Within easy and quick
railway connection with Boston, New York and Montreal, the
sportsman may alight in the center of the hunting and fish-
ing regions, and in many instances at the very door of his
camp or lodge. At all times during his stay he is within
easy reach of the mail and telegraph lines, and so, while
apart from the busy world, he may yet be in touch with it so
far as occasion may require, or his inclination prompt him.
The Bangor & Aroostook, the Washington County, the Port-
land & Rumford Falls, the Phillips & Rangeley, a portion
of the Grand Trunk line, and the Maine Central Railroad run
directly through the territory where as fine sport as there is
in the State, is to be found.

In the variety and plentitude of sport obtainable, at the

12

minimum of expense and trouble, Maine has no rival. Some
sportsmen are not content to rough it, however richly they
may be rewarded, but require all the accessories of civilization
that can reasonably be obtained. Others regard the camp and
inconveniences, and the complete change in mode of living as
additional attractions in the search for and capture of their
game. LHither of these classes can find what they are in
search of. The entire State of Maine is one intricate net-
work of waterways, which not only form, amidst delightful
scenery, the grandest canoe routes of the world, but give
ready means of communication throughout the whole terri-
tory. The most remote forests are accessible. Railways lead
to their very portals, where visitors, whether anglers, hunt-
ers or tourists are able to arrange for guides and camp
outfits, etc., at reasonable rates. It is possible, whatever the
enthusiast’s desires may be whether for the kingly moose, the
deer, or smaller game, whether for the lordly salmon, the
togue, or brook trout, to have them fully gratified in this
great domain, whose labyrinths and waters afford the most
glorious outings.

That the forests of Maine are filled with moose, deer,
birds, ruffed grouse, and other game; and the lakes, ponds
and streams teem with land-locked salmon, trout, togue, black
bass and white perch, is a matter of common knowledge.

A glance at the official records is sufficient to satisfy the
most skeptical on this point. From returns from the 1800
registered guides, (it takes this large number of skilled
guides to accompany the sportsmen), there were 260 moose,
g,o0o deer, and 75 tons of fish taken by sportsmen whom the
guides guided in the year 1898 ; and 230 moose, 14,000 deer,
100 bears and 100 tons of fish taken in the year 1899.

Startling as these figures appear, it is the sober truth,
and we are assured from all reports that fish and game are on
the increase, and it only needs the assiduous efforts of the
sportsman to take the limit allowed by law.

The legislatures of the past few years have wisely aided the
fish and game commissioners in their efforts to preserve and
increase the supply of fish and game in the State by liberal
appropriations for that purpose. As a result of this far-
sighted policy, it can truthfully be said that there is no part
of this great country where the fisherman and the hunter can

13
obtain so much enjoyment, and be more amply repaid for
time and effort expended, than in the State of Maine. With-
in its borders the devotees of the rod and gun may find in-
finite pleasure during the fishing and hunting seasons.

The State of Maine cordially invites true sportsmen to
come to Maine to hunt and to fish, confident that they will be
pleased with their trip and treatment, Poachers we don’t
want and have no room for.

I have not called particular attention, of small size and acces-
sible, all filled with trout or land-locked salmon.

19

The elevations at the above named lakes and ponds will
average about 1600 feet. The scenery and surroundings are
grand. §

3) Hunting Resorts.

It may be said, generally, that this county is one vast
deer park, and the sportsman can hardly fail to get his com-
pliment of two deer in any town in the county, while it is a
favorite hunting ground for moose. Generally, the hotels are
good, homelike and comfortable, and registered guides can
be procured in any town. ?

Moose.

There is no game animal so persistently sought after or
hunted, or regarded as so grand a trophy when captured in
the chase, as the Maine moose. No labor or expense is con-
sidered too great, by many sportsmen, for their capture. It
should be understood that it is no child’s play to secure a
moose. Many try, some succeed. ‘The number of moose in
the United States is not large, for the region they inhabit is
comparatively very small. Within the borders of the State
of Maine probably stand more moose than can be found in all
North America outside of its limits, in regions accessible
to sportsmen and hunters. A great deal of the best breeding
and feeding grounds are along the Canadian border, hun-
dreds of miles in extent, while favorite hunting grounds are
in the vicinity of lakes, logans, ‘‘ dead waters,’’ and their
tributaries.

No sportsman should undertake to hunt big game, at
least, without a registered guide, on account of his safety and
comfort. Guides are registered by the State, and are amena-
ble to the State for their proper conduct while guiding.

It may also be said that ruffed grouse, (partridge), are
plentiful in all the county, also foxes and many bears, and
some wild cats are annually taken by sportsmen.

The limits of this volume could be easily exhausted with
a truthful portrayal of the fishing and hunting resorts of this
county alone, but I must condense.

At any and all of the above named lakes and inlets of the
saine, good moose and deer hunting is to be had in open sea-
son for this game.

Sherman and Patten Junction, 104 miles from Bangor,
first railroad station in this county on road to Houlton from

20

Bangor ; then Crystal six miles, Island Falls six miles, Dyer
Brook six miles, Oakfield: nine miles, Ashland Junction,
three miles, through an unbroken wilderness. ‘Towns on the
same line of railroad in Penobscot county, before reaching
Sherman from Bangor, Schoodic 56 miles from Bangor, W.
Seboeis two miles, Norcross nine miles, Twin Dam one mile,
Millinockett seven miles, Grindstone six miles, Staceyville
twelve miles. These are distances between stations. The
hunting grounds are easily accessible from each of these
stations.

Norcross.

This station is at the foot of North Twin Lake, con-
nected with South Twin Lake, The Elbow, Pemadumcook,
and Umbajejus Lakes. These are in Penobscot and Piscat-
aquis counties, but being accessible from Norcross on line
of B. & A. R. R. are spoken of in this connection. Steamer
to all points on these lakes, and from landing on Umbajejus
Lake there is only 50 rods carry to Millinockett Lake.

Nahmakanta lake is to the west, reached by steamer to
the head of Pemadumcook, thence by buckboard. At the
Norcross House, of which P. A. Fowler is proprietor, will be
found good accommodations, and all camp supplies, outfits,
etc., may be procured of F. M. Peasley. This is a conven-
ient starting point on the line of the B. & A. R. R. for hunt-
ing grounds. It may also be said that these lakes afford
excellent white perch, trout and salmon fishing, also pickerel
and togue.

Twenty-eight miles from Norcross, by the lakes and the
West Branch, Sourdnahunk Stream, which empties into the
West Branch, is reached. Finest of trout waters, and in the

more cleanly, or more desirable as a summer home; many

Waterville.

It may as well be said here as anywhere that the black
bass is a very gamey fish, a good fighter, and a great delight
to thousands of sportsmen to catch, while the white perch is
as gamey as the trout and unexcelled as a pan fish; they read-
ily rise to the fly and are caught at the season ofthe year, July,

town of Monson, 6 m. from the Junct.; here is the celebrated
Lake Hebron, containing many large trout and land-locked
salmon ; Monson Pond, I m. away, Spectacle Pond 3 m., and
Ship Pond, or Lake Onawa, one of the most beautiful lakes
in the State of Maine, 12 m. from Monson; all these ponds
and lakes are famous for land-locked salmon and trout fish-
ing; Lake Onawa cannot be too highly spoken of as a desirable
fishing resort; Grindstone Pond in Willimantic, 8 m. from
Monson, and many other smaller ponds, and a multitude of
streams, are easily reached, and you have excellent trout,
togue and land-locked salmon fishing ; thisis a favorite resort
for sportsmen and a country abounding in deer, moose, ruffed
grouse, woodcock and other game; Borestone and Green-
wood Mountains are in plain view, affording a magnificent
sight.

Returning to Monson Junct. you resume your journey on
the B. & A. to Greenville; the ride on the railroad is exceed-
ingly enjoyable, the scenery is grand beyond description ;
from every quarter deep ravines and valleys and towering
mountains meet the eye of the tourist. At Blanchard may be
found several small ponds and many streams where excellent
trout fishing may be had and first class deer hunting.

At Greenville, terminus of this branch of the B. & A. R.
R. also on C. P. Ry., from Montreal and St. John, the cele-
brated Moosehead Lake is reached, one of the most famous
fishing, summer, and hunting resorts in the world, 86 m. from
Bangor, 223 m. from Portland, and 8 to g hours’ ride from
Boston ; this lake is 40 m. 1: and 5 to. 18 m. w.; contains

48

many large bays and beautiful islands. Half way up the lake,
at the foot of Mt. Kineo, on a point of land extending into
the lake, is situated the celebrated Kineo House.

In all this gveat inland sea, all parts of which are reached
by steamers, canoes or boats, first class trout and togue fish-
ing can always be had ; many white fish and cusk are also
taken ; it is also heavily stocked with land-locked salmon and
many of these of large size are taken each year; large and
elegant steamers connect with the train at Greenville to all
portions of this lake. From Greenville Wilson Pond, Hedge-
hog, Trout, Upper, Rum, Horseshoe, Fitzgerald, and Squaw
Ponds may be reached, famous for trout and some salmon .
fishing ; the country around these ponds is a favorite resort
for deer and moose hunting, also for ruffed grouse. It is dif-
ficult to describe adequately a body of water like Moosehead
Lake; it is a great inland sea, the largest body of fresh water
in all New England, a thousand feet above the level of the
sea. ‘he Kineo House and the sporting camps around this
lake are really council houses; here parties are made up, ex-
peditions planned, campaigns organized, guides, supplies, and
camping outfits secured ; here is the parting of the ways into
a vast domain of fish and game; here the salmon and trout
anglers take steamers, boats, or canoes for fishing in this lake
and to the lakes, ponds and rivers to the north. There is a
veritable network of lakes and ponds big and small, also
many brooks and rivers all teeming with brook trout from
half a pound to the monster inhabitant of 5 to 8 lbs., all the
long way from Kineo to Ft. Kent on St. John River, 150
miles or thereabouts, through an unbroken wilderness and
traversable by canoe. At Greenville is the celebrated store
of D. T.. Sanders and Son, where the sportsman or tourist
may procure anything from a cambric needle to a rifle or from
a handkerchief to a sleeping bag or anything else requisite to
the tent, the trail, the chase or a fishing expedition.

At Greenville Jct. are the general supply stores of A. A.
Crafts and Jas. Bartley, where the sportsman and tourist will
find a large and carefully selected stock of any goods that
will be necessary or convenient; here also is the general store
and taxidermy of M. Abbott Frazar, of Boston, an artist in
his line, where the sportsman can have his fish or game
mounted in the highest perfection of this art. From Green-

49

Head Dake; is reached by canoe or steamer, 12 m., also
reached from the Kineo House by steamer ; Roach River and
Pond is 7 m. from Lily Bay by stage; here is situated the
celebrated Hotel of A. F. Morrison, known as the Roach

as fine fishing and hunting for big game and ruffed grouse as
there is in the State. Upper Roach River, or Second Roach
Pond, is 7 m. farther on; Mountain Pond is 7 m. from Lily
Bay; from the First Roach Pond it is but 4 m. by trail to the
West Branch Ponds, three in number, and as good a place as
there is in the State for small trout, which average about
three toa pound. W. L. Rogers’ celebrated sporting camps
are 14 m. from Roach River, 26 m. from Greenville, on Sec-
ond Roach Pond, reached by steamer from Greenville to Lily
Bay, thence by buckboard, a celebrated fishing and hunting
resort, as good as there is, in plain view of White Cap Moun-
tain, the second highest elevation in the State; in all this
region there is as good hunting for deer, moose, ruffed grouse
and other game as there is anywhere. From Lower Roach
River, or pond, you reach the celebrated sporting camp at the
Grant Farm, so called, H. B. Morrison, prop., about 1o m.
by team, a great resort for fishermen and hunters; 4 m. from
Roach River are located the celebrated hunting camps of B.
A. Runnells, called Camp Cyrus, a beautiful location, and a

let of Ragged Lake, also Caribou Lake, about 6 m. from
the Grant Farm, also’ Deer Pond and many others, great
fishing ponds, and a great country for game. Here you are
but 9 m. from the foot of Chesuncook Lake; at the Grant
Farm you are within 7 m. of the popular sporting camps of
F. L,. Shaw, known as the old ‘‘ Joe Morris Place,’’ reached
by way of Lily Bay, Roach River and the Grant Farm, a fav-
orite resort for the fisherman and the hunter; there are many
celebrated trout streams within easy distance. Starting
again from Greenville or Kineo, and proceeding up the lake
by steamer, 20 m. from Kineo, we reach the North East
carry, so called, and the sporting camp, or hotel and general
supply store of S. S. Hibbard & Co., where all conveniences
for the sportsman can be procured and all arrangements made

50

for hunting, fishing, or canoeing trips, and supplies and out-
fits procured, or if you choose to remain here you will not be
disappointed in any particular. Crossing the carry, 2m. bya
good road, you come to the west branch of the Penobscot
River, thence by canoe or trail, down the river 3 m. to Lob-
ster Brook; this brook is navigable 3 m. to Lobster Lake;
proceeding down the river through the celebrated Moose
Horn you reach the Half Way House, so called, a celebrated
hunting and fishing resort, kept by J. W. Simithe ors joes
as he is familiarly called; here you are in the midst of fine
hunting and fishing ; thence down the river 10 m. by canoe
or trail by Pine Stream, over Pine Stream Falls and Rocky,
Rips to Chesuncook Lake; this trip has béen frequently de-
scribed in song and story, and is certainly a delightful
one; ‘Chesuncook Lake is 18 m. l., filled with togue and
trout, large numbers of which are annually taken. Here also
is the dividing of the ways and where you have one of the
finest views of Mt. Katahdin; you may also reach Caribou
Lake through the Thoroughfare from Chesuncook, and
Kelley Pond, also Rainbow Lake, one of the finest in Maine
and having the clearest water; also Moose Pond, by way of
Moose Brook, and from Moose Pond Duck Pond is reached ;
Rainbow Lake is best reached, however, from Ripogenus, at
the lower end of Chesuncook Lake; taking a northwest-
ward course from the upper end of Chesuncook we pass up
the Umbazookskus Stream to Umbazookskus Lake, about 9
m., thence across this lake to Mud Pond carry ; this carry is
about 3 m. from Mud Pond, thence across Mud Pond, and
following the stream, we arrive at Chamberlain Lake, a large

which would lead you to Chase and Munsungan Lakes, Milli-
nockett Lake, Aroostook River and the Ox Bow. Soper
Brook and Smith Brook empty into Eagle Lake, great resorts

51
for moose hunting; from the head of Churchill Lake it is
about 6 m. to Chase carry, the outlet of the lake; the carry is
something more than a mile; this place in the river has
received the name of ‘‘ Devil’s Elbow,’’ not an inappropriate
appellation as it strikes me in going over it; passing down
the river, Umsaskis Lake, some 10 m. away, is reached ; pass-
ing down this lake, Long Lake, about 6 m. is reached, and you
may reach the famous ‘‘ Depot Farm’’; from here you may

John, thence to Ft. Kent; in the vicinity of the junction of
the Allegash and St. John Rivers are the Nigger Brook
Rapids, and from this vicinity a trip up the St. Francis River
and its inlets may be had if desirable; on all this long route
the sportsman is constantly in touch with nature, the scenery
is grand beyond description. It is a great country for game,
and you have as fine fishing as can be had anywhere.

regarded as by far the best hunting for big game in all our
borders ; certain it is that there is no trout fishing that can
excel it; nobody can make any mistake, if they wish the fin-
est trout fishing they ever enioyed, to go to Nesourdnahunk
region, and as many moose or more are taken from this sec-
tion every year as from any other within the confines of
Maine. Another favorite route is, starting from Kineo take

let of the lake, so called, where are situated the famous
sporting camps and hotel kept for many years by Henry I.
Wilson & Sons; this was one of the earliest fishing resorts
on the lake, and probably more trout have been taken here

from the Parlin Pond House, at Parlin Pond, a justly cele-
brated fishing and hunting resort, where the sportsman is
rarely if ever disappointed in his catch of fish, or the capture
of big game. One of the finest drives in the world, without
exception, is from Parlin Pond to The Forks, and thence to
Bingham. I have heard many tourists speak of it as one of
the most beautiful drives to be found anywhere.

At the West Forks, so called, 5 m. from The Forks, you
take buckboard to Upper Enchanted Lake. This lake is all
that its name implies; from Enchanted it is 5 m. to Big
Spencer Lake, and thence 4 m. to King-Bartlett Lakes, de-
scribed in the chapter on Franklin County, a country abound-
ing in trout, deer, moose, ruffed grouse and bears. It should
be stated that when you are at Carratunk you may reach the
Kilgore Ponds, 12 in number, where there is great pickerel
fishing and excellent hunting for moose, deer, ruffed grouse
and other game.

Moxie Pond — When at Carrying Place, or Carratunk,
trail may be taken which passes in close proximity to Pleas-
ant and Moxie Ponds.

Again, when at Bingham you are within 15 m. of Austin
Lake, a beautiful sheet of water 4m. 1. 2m. w., trout and
salmon fishing, also deer, moose and ruffed grouse. Sporting
camps of C. M. Jones located here.

From Austin Pond it is 3 m. to head of Moxie Pond.
From Bingham it is 10 m. by team to Rowe Pond and Rowe
Pond camps, a justly popular resort, where sporting camps
and every convenience may be found, Witham & Maxfield,
proprietors. ‘These ponds afford first class fishing for trout
and salmon and the country round about excellent hunting
for deer, moose and ruffed grouse. When at the Rowe Pond
camps you are but 3 m. by trail to the Carry Ponds above
described.

Dead River and Flagstaff, mentioned in the chapter on
Franklin County, famous fishing and hunting resorts, may be
reached from the R. R. station at North Anson by the way

61

of New Portland. When at Flagstaff you will find a pleasant
home with every convenience, at the Lake House, S. S.
Durrell, proprietor.

Across Flagstaff Lake, thence by trail 3 m., the beauti-
fully situated and justly popular sporting camps of Wing
Bros. are reached, in as fine fishing and hunting country as
there is in Maine.

Perhaps an easier way to reach Flagstaff and these camps
and Dead River is by way of M. C. R. R. from Portland to
Farmington, thence by Farmington and Phillips narrow
gauge R.R. to Strong, thence by Franklin and Megantic Ry.
to Kingfield, thence by team.

From Greenville, mentioned in the chapter on Piscata-
quis County, to the Boundary, on the line of the Canadian
Pacific Ry. many noted hunting and fishing resorts in this
county are reached, which are fully described in the chapter
on Piscataquis County.

When at Pittsfield, on the M. C. R. R. between Water-
ville and Bangor, change cars for the Sebasticook R. R. from
Pittsfield to Hartland.

Moose Pond, situated in Hartland and Harmony, is a
large body of water, abounding in trout, white perch and
pickerel. Numerous trout, streams may also be easily reach-
ed where excellent fishing is had; fine ruffed grouse shoot-
ing, and many deer are annually taken in this section.

Somerset County, as stated in the beginning of this
chapter, is a famous country for fishing and hunting, and
held in great favor by large numbers of enthusiastic sports-
men.

WASHINGTON COUNTY.

Situated in the most eastern section of the State. Bound-
aries: North by Aroostook, east by Province of New Bruns-
wick, south by Atlantic Ocean, and west by Hancock
County. Area about 2700 sq. m.

Machias, on the Washington County R. R. and Machias
River, shire town. A coast county, with a long, extended
coast line, with broad, deep and beautiful harbors, bays and
rivers, grandest of natural scenery, and one of the principal
counties abounding in fish and game.

Fishing and Hunting Resorts.

Deer, bears, wild cats, foxes, ruffed grouse, woodcock,
duck and plover are very plentiful, and the moose of late
years have been rapidly increasing in numbers. lLand-
locked salmon, trout, togue, white perch, pickerel and black
bass fishing is unexcelled.

This county contains 147 lakes and ponds, and is a com-
paratively new section for the sportsman, being now for the
first time accessible by railroad, the thoroughly equipped and
first class road, the Washington County R. R. being opened
for travel in t899. ‘This railroad is called the ‘‘ Sunrise’’
route, and the county is called the ‘‘ Sunrise’’ County. This
railroad extends from Washington Junct., on the Mt. Desert
Branch of the M. C. R. R., 33 m. from Bangor, to Machias,
Eastport, Calais and Princeton, 100 m. through the finest of
hunting and fishing resorts. When speaking of fishing re-
sorts in this county what we say will apply equally as well to
them as hunting resorts. Twenty-five years ago when deer
had practically become extinct in Maine on account of the
depredations of the crust hunter, ‘‘ pot hunter,’’ market
hunters and wolves, Maine enacted stringent laws; the
wolves suddenly disappeared and the State was re-stocked by
the deer in this county. At Washington Junct. you take the
W.C.R.R. for all points in this county. The old stage
route from this junction, or from Franklin Roads in Hancock
County, takes you to within easy reach of Flanders, Spring
River and other small ponds in this town, (Franklin), in
which there is good land-locked salmon, trout, togue, white
perch and pickerel fishing; you pass along the shore of
Taunton and Hog Bay within easy reach of Georges, Don-
nells, and other small ponds and in close proximity to Fox,
Long, Gt. Tunk, Round, Rocky and other ponds, 20 m. to
Cherryfield; these ponds afford good salmon, trout, white
perch and pickerel fishing, and all along this route there is
first class deer, ruffed grouse, and around the waters most ex-
cellent duck shooting, but the railroad is the route the sports-
men usually take. Franklin is the first station after leaving
Washington Junct., beautifully situated on an arm of French-
man’s Bay, and with Unionville next has many natural at-
tractions for the tourist ; before reaching Unionville you pass
close to Donnells, Flanders, Great Tunk, Long, Rocky,

63
and Roan Ponds, famous resorts for land-locked salmon,
trout, togue, white perch and pickerel fishing, also a great
country for deer, ruffed grouse and ducks; the charming
town of Cherryfield is next reached, at the head of navigation
on the Narraguagus River, and is a central point from which
to reach Milbridge, Steuben and -the various summer colonies
scattered along their coast line, as well as those of Goulds-
boro and Winter Harbor. From this point the mountains
and highlands to the north are reached, with beautiful drives
over fine roads, winding about and to the summits of some of
the most prominent elevations. Deblois, Beddington and a
grand hunting and fishing country are reached from here,
containing Schoodic and Spruce Mt. Ponds, 14 m., Machias
Lake, 32 m., containing pickerel, white perch, trout and
eels, Horseshoe Lake, 28 m., brook trout fishing, the two
Mopang Lakes, 20 m., Lily Lake, 20m., Cranberry Lake, 2
m,, 5ta Lake, 30 m,,"Horseshoe, Lake, 29 m., Bos Lake, 32
m., Narraguagus, 6 m., Chalk Pond, 14 m., Baker Brook
Flowage 27 m. from Cherryfield, also South West Pond and
Mopang Stream, which flows into Kowahskisscook, or Ma-
chias River; these are bodies of water varying in size from 5
sq. m. to 1 sq. m., and afford, with their numerous inlets, un-
surpassed fishing for trout, land-locked salmon, pickerel,
white perch and black bass, and are favorite resorts for the
sportsman from Cherryfield by canoe or carriage; fall this
vast country abounds in deer, wild cats, bears, duck, ruffed
grouse, and there is also moose.

You will find here the general supply store of H. H.
Bowles, and the experienced guide, Charles Corliss, where
all needed information can be had. Continuing from Cherry-
fieldthe town of Harrington is reached, 6m. and Columbia, ro
m. ‘These are picturesque villages and contain beautiful sea-
side resorts, at Ripley Neck, Addison Point, Pleasant and
Union Rivers. A few miles north of these stations are the
vast upland blueberry plains, or barrens, a country entirely
denuded of forests and a resort for hundreds of blueberry
pickers, where thousands of bushels of blueberries are annu-
ally taken and put up in cans for the markets of the world ; a
country well worth going many miles to see. Columbia Falls,
at the head of navigation on Pleasant River, is a beautiful
town, with many natural advantages for the sportsman ; here

64

Atlantic salmon are caught in Pleasant River. Continuing
along the line of railroad Machias and E. Machias are
reached, 58 and 62 m. from Bangor respectively, from which
a famed sea coast territory is easily accessible, including the
well known resorts of Point of Main, Bucks Harbor, Roque
Bluffs, Cross Island, Cutler, Whiting, and on the north
Marshfield, Northfield, Wesley, and a grand forest and lake
country, in which is situated Gardner Lake, 9 m. sq., 2 m.
from E. Machias, Hadley Lake, 4 m. sq., 3 m. from EK. Ma-
chias, 2d Lake, 10 m., Rocky Lake 10 m., Long Lake 14 m.,
from East Machias, favorite resorts for trout, some land-lock-
ed salmon, white perch, bass and pickerel fishing ; Round
Lake, 14 m., Hunters Lake, 6 m., Gt. Brook Lake, 6 m., Ist,
2d, 3d, and 4th Lakes, 26 m. from Machias; also Orange,
Roaring, Little, Indian, Longfellow, Seavey, Six Mile Lake,
and Holmes’ Pond, all abounding in trout, some land-locked
salmon, white perch, togue, black bass and pickerel.

From here also may be reached Bog Lake in Northfield,
Seavey and Hackmatack Lakes in Wesley, Cathance and
Little Cathance Lakes in Cooper, and in ‘I. No. 14, by team
or trail, all filled’ with trout, bass, perch and pickerel, and
there are a multitude of brooks in this region which are
famous for brook trout fishing, and it is a country unexcelled
for deer, duck, ruffed grouse, bears, wild cats and foxes ;
there are also some moose. Clairs Hotel, Jas. McGouldrick,
props, Sanborn’s Tavern, Frank Sanborn, prop., are clean,
homelike, and hospitable places to stop; they are at EK.
Machias sat Machias is the Eastern Hotel, Geo. D. Perry,
prop., which is all right.

Marion, 13 m. by R. R. from E. Machias, is the point to
start from to go into the Cathance country, T. No. 14 or the
town of Cooper; Dennysville, 5 m. beyond, is a noted resort
for duck hunting, also Pembroke, on the Eastport Branch
from Eastport Junct. ; at Eastport Junct. the famous Nashick
or Boydens Lake, a large body of water teeming with trout,
black bass and pickerel is reached. From Eastport Junct.
Kastport 16 m. farther on, is reached, the most easterly port
in the United States, and a charming summer resort. Here
the sportsman will find in T. H. Bucknam, prop. of the
Quoddy House, a genial host, who will spare no pains to
make your stay pleasant and agreeable, and at the store of

65

Ky. S. Martin & Son you may supply yourself with any kind
of sporting goods which the fisherman or the hunter may find
necessary. From Hastport Junct. on the way to Calais you
pass through the town of Charlotte, where is situated the
famous Pennamaquan Lake and Round Pond, famous fish-
ing resorts for black bass, white perch and pickerel ; Meddy-
bemps, and the famous Meddybemps lake, a large body of
water, also Little Lake, may be reached from Charlotte, but
more easily from Baring, famous lakes for fishing and a fine
country for hunting ; passing along the railroad we reach St.
Croix Junct. on the St. Croix River, and the city of Calais.
Here is a famous salmon pool, a noted resort where sea salmon
of large size are caught with the fly; this salmon pool has
been growing in favor of late years and perhaps may be said
to be the best in the State; the city of Calais is a delightful
city; it contains several lakes of large size and many small
ponds; the principal lakes are Hast, West, Magurrewock,
Beaver, Round, Golding and Western Lakes, where there is
fine fishing for land-locked salmon, trout, white perch, togue,
black bass and pickerel, and are easily reached by carriage ;
there is also excellent duck shooting around these lakes,
and ruffed grouse, some plover and snipe.

The city of Calais is 103 m. from Bangor by rail ; it may
also be reached by way of the M. C. R. R. from Bangor to
Vanceboro, thence by the Atlantic Division of the C. P. Ry.,
40 m. ; it may also be reached by boat from Boston, or by the
C. P. Ry. from Montreal to Vanceboro. The Border City
Hotel, D. M. Gardner & Co., props., will entertain all
sportsmen or tourists in a satisfactory manner. Here teams,
boats or canoes may be procured ; all supplies needed by the
sportsman can be purchased at the large general store of
H. F. Katon & Sons. ‘The Todd Bros. are among the most
enterprising business men in this section of the State.

At Calais you take the Princeton Branch of the Wash-
ington Co. R. R. for Princeton about 20 m., or you may go
by carriage, a most charming route, through a lovely country ;
at Whidden Farm on the R. R. route the great Cocomoon-
shine Lake, with its multitude of islands, and famous for
pickerel and white perch fishing, is reached by team; Prince-
ton, terminus of this branch of the R. R., is situated on the
shore of Leweys Lake, a beautiful and charming village, and

66

is the gateway to the famous Grand Lake by team, 20 m., or
by steamer, passing through Long Lake, filled with white
perch and pickerel, also Big Lake. Where there is no finer
perch, black bass or pickerel fishing in the world, landing at
the outlet of Grand Lake Stream; thence by team 2 I-2 m.
to the foot of Grand Lake; when at Princeton inquire for
Chas. A. Rolfe, whom everybody knows, and who keeps a
first class general supply store, where the sportsman will re-
ceive kindly, courteous treatment and procure at reasonable
prices all needed supplies. Do not forget to inquire for the
genial Chas. F. Eaton, one of the most popular sportsmen in
the State, prop. of a steam yacht that will take you any,
where in these waters, and if necessary he will jump the logs
en route with it.

Grand Lake Stream, just alluded to, affords as fine fly
fishing for land-locked salmon as can be found anywhere ; it
is a short stream, some 2 1-2 m. in length, with grand falls
and elegant pools, and is sometimes navigated with a canoe.
rand Lake is a famous lake, 12 m. 1. by 5 or more w., one
of the four original land-locked salmon lakes in Maine, and
one of the surest and most certain for catches of land-locked
salmon or togue of any lake I know of; the salmon are not
usually of large size, though sometimes caught weighing as
high as seven pounds; there are multitudes of them; the
togue fishing is first class, and of the finest quality I have
ever seen ; there are also catches of square tailed trout, but in
small quantities; this is a famous and noted fishing resort and
is constantly growing in favor; it is alsoa great hunting re-
sort from Princeton to and in and around this country, and
fora few years past some moose have been taken; moose
seem to be increasing in this locality. From Grand Lake,
Ox Brook, West Musquash, and a multitude of other
lakes and ponds are reached; there are also many streams
which afford good brook trout fishing, and as described in
the chapter on Penobscot County, Horseshoe, Sisladobsis,
Dobsis, Sisladobsisis, Duck, Junior, Pocompass, Keg, Bottle
and other lakes are reached by canoe and short carries.

To the sportsman who wishes first class fishing, or the
hunter in quest of big game, I do not hesitate to recommend
him to go to Washington County. Registered guides may be
had in any of the towns mentioned, outfits procured, com-

67
fortable sporting camps and good hotels may be found, and I
think I may safely say fair and considerate treatment will be
received. It is impossible to specify particularly every lake
or pond in which there is good fishing. Stopping at any of
the stations on this railroad from Washington Junct. to
Machias, from there to Calais, or from Calais to Princeton,
the sportsman or tourist will be certain of a hearty welcome,
easily procure guides, and learn more definitely of the locali-
ties herein described. I think you would be satisfied with a
fishing or hunting trip to this ‘‘ Sunrise ’’ county.

There remains yet another important section in this
county to be described ; leaving Bangor for Vanceboro and
St. John, N. B., on the M. C. R. R. you pass through the
town of Danforth, 88 m. from Bangor; here is Hotbrook
Pond, 5 m. 1. one m. w., of easy access, first class black bass,
togue and pickerel fishing ; you are also within easy reach of
Grand Lake and North Lake, partly in Aroostook County,
connected with Spednic and First Lake, which are also called
the Chiputneticook or Schoodic Lakes; these lakes are 30 m.
in length, and connected together, affording first class black
bass, white perch, pickerel and togue fishing, also some
trout and land-locked salmon. ‘They form the divisional line
between New Brunswick and Maine. Excellent accommoda-
tions will be found at the Vendome Hotel, also guides. From
Danforth the next station is Jackson Brook Pl.; here is
Baskahegan and Jackson Brook Lake, famous bodies of
water with their inlets, affording first class fishing in every
respect ; the next station is Forest and here Little Tomah
Lake in Codyville Pl., Musquash Lake and Farrows Pond, in
Topsfield, are easily reached by team, fine black bass, pick-
erel, white perch, and in the streams; elegant brook trout
fishing ; the next station is Lambert Lake, in T. No. 1;
Lambert Lake is a fine body of water, surrounded by moun-
tains ; first class trout fishing ; it has recently been stocked
with land-locked salmon. ‘There is excellent fishing for
trout in the brooks easily accessible from Lambert Lake.

Vanceboro is the next station, on the St. Croix River ;
at Vanceboro you are on the shore of First Lake where you
can take steamers for Spednic Lake and for Grand Lake, and
the sporting camps of Mrs. G. W. Ross, situated on Spednic
Lake ; there is no finer duck shooting in the State than can

he

68

be had in and around the lakes and ponds herein described,
or onthe St. Croix River, while from every station on this road
in this county as fine a deer country as there is in Maine can
be reached, and it is a favorite resort for the sportsman.
Guides and outfits may be procured.

The C. P. Ry. from St. John, Calais, Greenville and
Montreal, as well as the Maine Central R. R. pass through
Vanceboro, and it should be said in justice to this town that
it is one of the most beautifully located and has the most
charming surroundings of any inland town in the State of
Maine. It is a favorite resort for summer tourists, fishermen
and hunters, and is constantly growing in favor. ‘The peo-
ple are hospitable, and welcome the summer tourist and the
sportsman and try to make, in every possible way, their stay
agreeable and profitable. yuides, outfits, teams, boats and
steamers procured at reasonable rates. No one will make
any mistake by spending their vacation or taking a ee
or fishing trip to Vanceboro.

7

It should be understood that the lakes and ponds in this
county are not resorted to by sportsmen or fishermen to any
great extent; the towns in the northern part of this county
are favorite summer resorts, there are many excellent hotels
and boarding houses, and these ponds and lakes afford ex-
cellent sport for the summer tourist.

There are also many brooks and large streams, favorite
fishing resorts for brook trout; the country is clean, health-
ful, picturesque, the people are hospitable and it is in every
way desirable for a summer home.

Hunting.

There are no moose; there is no open time on deer;
along the coast and around the ponds there is excellent duck
shooting, also snipe; in the northern part of the county
ruffed grouse are plentiful; there are also many excellent
woodcock covers ; fox hunting is a favorite pastime.

A WORD TO THE SPORTSMAN.

The value of the Maine forests cannot be over estimated.
Any one who has been in a district over which a fire has re-
cently passed will appreciate the utter ruin of this district for
several years for any purpose, for the tourist, the hunter or
the angler. Iam confident that every sportsman is glad to
do anything in his power to prevent destruction of the for-
ests, and will carefully observe the following suggestions:

First. The greatest care should be exercised between
April rst and October 31st, and if a fire is made in the forest,
or at a distance of less than half a mile therefrom, or upon
any island, for cooking or obtaining warmth, the maker
should first select a locality in which there is no vegetable
matter, dead wood, branches, brush wood, dry leaves or
resinous trees.

Second. Clear the place in which he is about to light
the fire, by removing everything of a combustible nature
from the soil within a radius of at least ro feet from the

fire.

Third. Do not let the fire spread under any circum-
stances. Carefully extinguish the same before quitting the
place. Be sure that all burning matches, ashes of pipes,
lighted cigars, or other burning substance, are completely
extinguished before you leave the spot. ‘Too much care can-
not be observed in these important particulars.

You will see wherever you go the following notice, post-
ed by the forest commissioner, by the authority of the Legis-
lature of the State, which you should carefully read and
fully observe :

‘“ Beware of setting fire on Forest and Timber Land !”’

followed by the sections of the statute in relation to it.

In describing fishing resorts, or canoe trips I have not
indicated camping grounds or volume of water in streams
you will traverse, or particularized as to the kind of gun,
cartridges, shells, fishing rod or other necessary equipments
best for the sportsman or tourist; if the reader is not already
informed he should leave these matters to his guide, who will
be thoroughly familiar with all these subjects. Any inatten-
tion, misinformation, indifference or incompetency on the
part of a guide should be immediately reported to me.
They are commissioned by the State and are amenable
to the State for their conduct while guiding. I have
used the words

Lats

good,’’ “excellent,”? “fine;’ ete: im
reference to hunting and fishing resorts quite frequently. I
believe the sportsman will find substantially what I have de-
scribed, but no one should be led to believe that fish can always
be caught at any given place by simply baiting a hook and
putting it in the water attached to a line, or casting a fly or
dragging a spoon hook, or kill deer, moose, bears, wild cats,
or ruffed grouse by simply taking a gun into the woods of
Maine. It takes time, patience and skill to catch fish or kill
game anywhere. Many come to Maine to kill a moose and
fail, many others succeed ; some fail to get a deer, not many,
however; no one, unless he strikes exceptionally ‘‘ noisy ”’
hunting ought to fail in getting a deer; not every one kills a
bear or wild cat, many do; ruffed grouse, woodcock and duck
are easily taken by an experienced hunter, or by a novice
even.

73

The Good Old Times.

I frequently hear a remark something like this, ‘‘ Fish
don’t bite as they used to, there are not so many trout caught
in this or that lake, pond or stream as when I was a boy.”’
This is an error; there are more trout in Maine waters today
than at any time since the days before the forests were cut
away and the lands cleared, and more were caught in the
year 1899 than any year in its history.

The cost of a trip to Maine depends of course upon the
habits and tastes of the sportsman; you can spend much or
get along moderately. ‘There is uniformity of time through-
out New England. ‘The great transportation routes to
Maine are well known, over the Boston & Maine R. R., or
by the Mountain Division of the Maine Central from White
Mountains, N. H., the Portland & Rochester R. R. from

This territory, embracing the network of lakes :
which forth the source of the Penobscot River, lies 27
miles ‘‘in’’ from Jackman. Fifteen miles of this dis-
tance is covered by a fine carriage road and the bal-
ance on horseback and by canoe.
In the centre of a preserve, on Penobscot Pond,
embracing the three Dingley, two Greeney, North
Bay, White Birch, Mud, Lane, Chainey, Fish, and
Long Ponds, we have established comfortable home
camps. ‘The Ponds are so situated that nine out of
the ten may be easily visited in a day’s journey, and
good trails and short carries connect them.

A paradise for the fly fisherman. Square-tailed
trout weighing from half a pound to a pound may be
caught at all seasons of the year, in endless numbers.
Long Pond offers fine togue fishing.

As a deer section this territory rivals the world.
Last year from June 6 to 26, Theo. H. Eaton of
Harvard University saw by actual count 1936 deer,
a moose, and a caribou.

We give good food, comfortable accommodations,
supply guides familiar with the country, and have
canoes, outfits, etc. Our rates are $1.00 a day fora
long or short stay.

The territory is new, wild, and has been little
fished and hunted. We know of no place truly ‘ E
the wilderness’’ that is more easily reached or hick
offers rarer sport.

Jackman lies 4o miles above Greenville. It is
easily reached by the Canadian Pacific Railway
through that point or Sherbrooke, P. Q.

of the Largest BROOK TROUT in the world, many
fish being taken of weights from 5 to ro pounds.
Now Rangeley Lake has come to the fore as one of
the greatest bodies of water for breeding LAND-
LOCKED SALMON, and anglers for fighting land-
locks visit Rangeley from all over the world. No
better hunting territory exists than the Dead River
Region, and this territory is covered with small ponds
and lakes where abound square-tailed trout and land-
locked salmon.

Mr. SPORTSMAN :—Of course you have decided to come to Maine this year for
your season's outing. For where else in all this broad land is large game so plenty;
lively trout, togue, salmon and other gamey fish so abundant; or “the woods and
lakes so interesting and picturesque? And when you make arrangements for the
trip, plan to stop over a night in Bangor — ‘just this side of the w oods ?? —and at the
Penobscot Exchange. The Exc hange is a veritable wayside home for sportsmen.
It is easy to get at —is but two blocks from the Bangor & Aroostook station and only
a short distance from the Maine Central’s western terminal — and is situated on one
of the busiest streets in the city. Electric cars connecting with all city and subur-
ban lines, pass the Exchange every few minutes. All that goes toward making a
real home for travellers is found at the Penobscot Exchange. There are well-fur-
nished :ooms, comfortable beds an excellent table, prompt and willing service —

INEO, from its high latitude and great ye oe above
the sea level, boasts a climate which offers un-
equalled advantages to those seeking refuge from
the heat, or to sufferers from hay fever. Pure air,

pure water, the aroma of the great pine forests, the breezes

over the clear water of the lake, combine to bring health to
the invalid and relief to the overworked body and brain. Be-
sides the ascent of Mount Kineo, there are forest walks,
bicycling, tennis, golf and boat or canoe excursions to the

numerous points of interest in the vicinity, such as Pebble
Beach, the Cliff, Devil’s Delight, Hatching Works, Moody

‘“Kineo’’ and other steamers are at hand to convey parties
to the outlet, Socatean, Northeast Carry, or any point on the
lake.

Sportsmen know that the Mount Kineo House is in the
heart of the hunting and fishing of this region, at the gate-
way to the head waters of the Penobscot and the great Maine
Wilderness. Here are boats, birch canoes and guides,
well as supplies of every kind needed in the woods.

A carriage road extends through the woods to the base
of Mount Kineo, where there is a stairway to make the as-
cent of the mountain safe and easy. A delightful outing
which all should take is the charming foliage-fringed dive

We are getting more and more game heads from the west each year. Sports-

Roach [River Ffouse. Main

g His excellent Hotel is located at the foot of Roach Pond, six miles from Lily

Bay (reached from there by a tine bueckboard line through a picturesque re-
gion), and, with the two cottages under the same management, furnishes excel-
lent accommodations for tourists, sportsmen and their families.

The houses are well furnished and have all home comforts. The table is
supplied with the best the market affords, served in a manner that pleases every
one. The location at the foot of Roach Pond, which it overlooks, is very desir-
able. This pond is six miles long, surrounded by others, with lakes and streams
in every direction which are full of gamy trout; and it is a fact that within a few
rods of the veranda of the house is one of the finest trout pools in the State. In
the open season there is game in great variety — moose, caribou, deer, bear, part-
ridge, ducks and other small game, which cannot fail to satisfy all lovers of rod
and gun; and to those who are seeking health and quiet rest the grand moun-
tain scenery, cool spring water and pure air must prove indeed a blessing. The
management furnishes guides, boats, canoes and complete camping outfits.

The route to reach here is via the Bangor & Aroostook Railroad to Green-
ville Junction, twice daily from Boston or Maine Central R. R. Points, or via
the Canadian Pacific Railway from the East or West. Connections are made
here with steamers which leave daily (Sundays excepted) on arrival of morning
train from Bangor, connecting at Lily Bay with Frank P. Morrison’s Line of
Buckboards for Roach River. REtruRNING (Sundays excepted.) leave Lily Bay for
Greenville Junction, connecting with afternoon train for Bangor and the West.

Mattagamon House.......

nast Branch of th
HUNT FARM, renonscot River.

gilts House was recently built by S. B. Gates, for the accommodation of sports-

men and tourists, on the Mattagamon, or east branch of the Penobscot Riv-
er. The House is 28x32, two stories with veranda, well finished and well
furnished. View from house of river and mountains isgrand. Sea salmon are
abundant in the Penobscot and Wassatiquoik rivers, and the rivers, streams,
lakes and ponds abound in trout. Deer, moose and caribou are numerous; deer
may be seen almost daily in the field, from the house. The house is furnished,
from a spring, with pure, ice-cold water. This location is pot surpassed, if
equalled,in Maine. Itssituation is in the virgin forest, with its environs of lake,
mountain and stream. The charm of this place is its picturesque locality, as
every one Knows that fish and game are found in their choicest forms in the
most secluded places. And for a game preserve it stands par excellence in
attractions for lovers of the piscatorial art and the disciples of Nimrod the hunt-
er, who will tind here all they wish, in rivers, lakes and streams full of trout
treasures, and woods where game, both large and small, is abundant.

Nothing butits inaccessibility from the haunts of men has prevented this
region from becoming one of the most popular summer resorts in the East. That
it will be one now is assured. Nature has performed her part to the utmost.
With the opening of the Bangor & Aroostook R. R. this region is now reached
twice daily from Boston and all points East. The proprietor has provided
ample accommodations for all who come. It is only seven miles from Stacey-
ville Station, on Bangor & Aroostook R. R., to this celebrated game region,
over agood buckboard road, and 18 miles from Mount Katahdin. Buckboard
from Staceyville Station via Hunt Farm to Katahdin Lake. From lake to moun-
tain 6 miles by trail. Within a radius of ten miles are hundreds of lakes,
streams and ponds. ‘An elysium for sportsmen.” Open all the year. The
house is leased to M. M. Tracy, who furnishes buckboard transportation from
Staceyville: also guides and canoes.

My camps are situated thirteen fmiles from the Canadian boundary, on the

form the water shed of the Kennebec and Penobscot Rivers.

They are eight miles from Jackman station on the Canadian Pacific road and
forty miles northwest of Greenville where the road makes connections with the
Bangor & Aroostook Railroad. Jackman can also be reached from the west by way
of Megantic. Parties leaving Boston in the morning via Portland will arrive at
Jackman that night. Onnotice I will meet parties on arrival of trains and drive
them direct tothe camps with my own buckboard. Excellent hotel accommodations
can be obtained at Jackman. Should parties arrive by night trains or without notice,
they will always find a team to drive them to camp. The elevation of the Heald
Pond Camps is twenty-seven hundred feet above tide level, in the heart of the pine
woods, the air being dry and the nights cool.

TELOS SPORTING CAMPS,

Sportsmen, do you want a moose the:
coming fall? If you do why not goa
little farther into the woods, and be sure
of getting one? Moose are here as they
were fifty years ago, and any sportsman
with a good guide can geta good set of
antlers in two weeks’ time with luck
against him, and the best of it is you can
do it all from acanoe. Camps are built
small and neat, with good old fashioned
open fireplaces that will make a man.
feel cheerful after a hard day’s hunt.
The beds and furniture are arranged
wholly with the one object in view—
comfort. I guarantee the fare not to be
equaled by any sporting camp in north-
ern Maine. I shall be prepared to con-
vey parties down Webster Brook Carry,
on the East Branch of the Penobscot, or
across the Sourdnahunk Carry.

~ MOUNTAIN VIEW HOUSE.

The Hotel on Rangeley Lake.

Rangeley Lake —Its Indian name is Oquossoc —is beyond dispute the most
beautiful of allthe lakes in the famous Rangeley region. In its clear waters the
square-tailed, spotted trout has ever abounded. In both size and numbers salmon
are increasing every year. A catch ofa to lbs. or 12 lbs. fishis not a rare occurrence.

But the attractions of Rangeley Lake are not confined to its waters, charming
coves dotted with lilies; unbroken forests, extending to the very waters’ edge:
mountains upon mountains, whose wooded slopes and craggy summits never tire
the eye,—these, too, afford delight and satisfaction to sportsman and tourist, even to
those who never loved nature before.

Overlooking a quiet cove near the outlet, flanked by cedars and firs and birches
in all their natural beauty, fronting the lake and mountain, just across the cove—
hence the name, Mountain View—this hotel is indeed ‘“‘beautiful for situation.”’ The
site, alone, has made failure impossible and speaks loudly for the wisdom of the
man who selected this charming spot on which to erect a hotel. This important
position accounts largely for the ever increasing popularity of this ideal summer
resort.

The elevation is nearly 2000 feet above sea level. The air is dry and invigorat-
ing. The pure breezes from fragrant mountain forests are made purer still, if pos-
sible, as they sweep across the lake, by contact with the clear waters. Hay fever,
in its worst form, yields at once to the gentle influence of the exuberant ozone.

The house is indeed in the v ery midst of the best section for successful salmon
and trout fishing in the early spring. Some of the best grounds on the lake for
trout and salmon fishing are near, while ’tis but a little more than a mile across the
“carry’’ to the Mooselookmeguntic, or ‘Big Lake.”

The waterin the vicinity of the hotel is always calm, which makes boating and
bathing especially safe and attractive for ladies and children.

The purest water from a cold mountain spring, has been piped into the house,
and guests are assured that no purer water can be found, even at the celebrated
watering places.

Boats, Guides, Teams, Outfits, etc., are furnished on short notice. Single and
double teams always i in readiness. The roads are fine, and riding or driving over
the hills, along the lakes, and through the forests, is a pleasure not soon forgotten.

Telephone and Post-office are in the hotel. Two daily mails. Steamer to and
from Rangeley touches at Mountain View twice daily.

Terms, $2.00 to $2.50 by the day, $10 to $15 by the week. For further information,
floor plans, etc., address,
