The waters of the lake are
exceedingly clear and pure, coming
irom springs, some being at the bot
torn, but the three most prominent
rise a few miles back in low, wet
land and flow into the lake in little
rills. On the very point of the
piouioutory is a spring whose waters
ire as cold as Ice and which Capt.
Glazier's weary party slaked their
thirst while exploring the shores ol
the new lake. So lonely is the re
gon around the lake that f ir four
teen days no even a redskin was
seen, and wearied by the hardships
of this rough country, yet with a
feeling ot having added something
to geograpical knowledge, Capt Gla
zier and his party were glad to come
