Helm Bay, Alaska. Sept. 10 to 17 1907. Frank Stephens. Helm Bay is on the southern side of Cleveland Peninsula a part of the mainland It is about 35 miles from Ketchekan. The bay is about five miles deep and averages nearly a mile wide. It is bordered by mountains of moderate slope and about 2,000 feet in altitude, except on the east side near the entrance, where there is a flat a mile or so square. In this flat are several fresh water lakes and ponds. There are parks, usually small, scattered all through the timber and small areas of the mountain tops are free of large trees. Nearly half of the timber is cedar. There is considerable underbrush, principally huckleberry bushes, but there is not much "devils club". There are quite a number of prospects, some of which may be called mines, in the vicinity. A five stamp mill is idle and all the houses are vacant except one temporarily occupied by a miner doing assessment work.
