TREMBLEUR LAKE TO INZANA LAKE.

From Trembleur Lake an old foot-trail follows through
windfalls and muskegs, much obstructed and requiring
cutting out. It crosses Inzana Creek, of some size but
not navigable, 2 miles from Inzana Lake, 14 miles long,
with well-wooded shores on north, but burnt over to south,
as far as Tachie, windfalls being thick and making travel
difficult. There is a good stand of pine just west of
Tchentsut Mountain, 4,420 feet, east of the trail from
Trembleur Lake. Though stands of fir occur on Stuart,
Trembleur, and Tezzeron Lakes, it ceases suddenly to the
north. Fair stands of spruce occur north of Inzana Lake,
north-east of Kazchek Lake, and north-east of Rice Lake.
At about 3,200 feet some open spots occur, supporting
luxuriant vegetation in hills north of Inzana Lake, and at
west end of the lake are a few pockets of soil which may
eventually be used, now too remote for surveying. An
extensively fairly flat area extends south-eastward from
Inzana Creek to Tachie. Seen from Tchentsut Mountain
it seemed capable of holding a good deal of arable land,
but where the trail crosses most of the opens appearing
like meadows from the hill proved to be muskegs.

TREMBLEUR LAKE AND MIDDLE RIVER.

Trembleur Lake is in a transverse valley. Middle River
connects it with Takla Lake, sluggish, navigable, with
valley 2 to 6 miles wide; undulating and rolling country
between rocky hills on either side, with about 120,000
acres surveyed, light sandy loam, mainly timbered with
small poplar, pine, spruce, and willow. Large willow
bottoms occur in valley of Natazutlo Creek, and much of
remainder, burnt over about fifty years ago, has small
second growth. To north of this creek are areas of
scattered poplar and beaver cuttings. An Indian farm
near 55th parallel on Middle River produces good potatoes
and vegetables. To west of Middle River is country tim-
bered with heavy spruce and willow, rising shortly to foot-
hills of Middle River Range. The surveyed area east of
Trembleur Lake is similar undulating land to that in
Middle River Valley, draining to Trembleur Lake by creeks
from hill-slopes to east and north.

Kazchek Lake, 2,670 feet, drains through Kazchek
Creek southward to Middle River, and a trail traverses
country strewn with windfalls, intersected by mumerous
muskegs, and through a stand of good spruce before
reaching the lake. The trail is difficult and requires cut-
ting out. At east of the lake is a large low flat, extend-
ing around north-east side. There are small patches of
good-looking poplar country north of Kazchek Lake.
A foot-trail runs north to Kloch Lake through hill
country. A low-lying tract extends north of this lake
toward west end of Nation Lakes. Indians have canoes
