August 1, 1906, Wednesday Trout abundant in the lake. In less than one hour I caught 35 trout with the ravellings from my khaki trousers as bait for the first fish, then used a trout fin for the rest. Fernald came in to camp a little later and as a result of his hour's fishing had 36 trout, the largest being 7½ inches long. He caught all his trout from a rock with the fin of one fish as bait for all. August 2, 1906, Thursday Hazy from smoke. Spent the early A. M. taking care of plants. About 9.30 A. M. Cote', Fernald, and I started up the mountain via Low's Trail going from camp to his trail via one cut by Cote'. Reached top of first spur (2970 feet) where we could look down on Americain Lake at 10.30 A. M. Made a sketch of the lake. From here we worked east and then north to the top of a high peak which was 3760 feet altitude. We then went north to the edge of the next ravine and east along its upper edge and then down to a rectangular shaped pond- one of six seen in the gorge; emptying into the east fork of the Ste. Aane River. Ate lunch at south end of this pond, where we got some very cold water at the inlet.
