Tramps.
Atlantic , Wyoming , August 18th , 1S97.
The party of hunters and prospeciois
having spent a few days looking over the
National Park Mining Co. 's property
here in the Atlantic mining district , are
again loaded into wagon No. 2 and heud-
ed for the Big Sandy creek on a hunt and
fish for the famous mountain trout. On
the journey we followed the old Indian
trail , instead of leaving the trail at Rini-
ker's claim. Six miles out and we came
in sight of the Sweetwater , but a deep
gorge lay betwetn us and the creek.
Undaunted , down the gulch we go , with
the wagon at times careening wildly ,
but we finally reach the creek , worn out
and tired. At 2:30 p. m. we got into
camp for dinner , Sweetwater , and at
three o'clock we are again on our journey.
We finally reached the Lander road and
our trip thereafter was much easier ; we
must reach the Big Sandy creek bjnight. .
We traveled all day just south of the
Wind range of the Rockies , and the lofty
peaks , towering high above the rest of
the range , look like sentinels on guard
over the rest of the range , and a grand
sight is presented. At 8 p. m. we are in
camp for the night supper is over.
Cook No. I is in charge.as the party has
been increased by the addition of F. W.
Bosworth , manager at the mines of the
company. By nine o'clock all are fast
asleep , dreaming of the great catch of
fish to be made on the morrow. Break
fast is called at 6 in the morning and at
8 o'clock we are climbing the foothills ;
two hours later we are in camp on the
Big Sandy for the day and fishing tackle
is in demand. At noon the boys return
well ladened with fish. 45 pretty trout
are prepared for dinner and there wasn't
a bone left. In the evening the boys
again come to camp with a good catch.
40 more trout fall as victims to voracious
appetites , a total of S5 in 7 hours eaten
by S men. Breakfast again at six and 25
more trout are sacrificed , after which we
start for the mountains about ten miles
distant. Noon finds us at the foot of
the range. 15 trout disappear at dinner ,
and during the afternoon 50 more are
caught for supper and breakfast. While
Archibald , McConnell and Ward were
fishing up streau a mountain lion was
seen coming down to the creek for a
drink. The first sight had of the lion was
when he came out of the brush just in
front of Archibald , across the creek
about 30 feet away. The lion had the right
of way and we kept in the clear until he
disappeared from sight. There are num
erous signs of bear , but none have been
seen up to this time. At about seven
o'clock on the following morning , Sunday - 1
day , we all start for the big range , some
hunters ' , others fishermen. A cool
mountain breeze makes the da\- fine ,
and the scenery is grand as we climb the
great range. The Big Sandy lake is
reached at last , at the foot of the great
peaks , and as fine a lake of water as one
could wish to see , deep and blue as the
ocean. Trout are very plentiful here.
A few of us climbed to the timber line ,
10,165 feet above sea level. Trammell
and I climbed to the foot of Temple peak.
Here are five lakes 500 feet above the
timber line. Flowers are blooming at
the feet of these great peaks at the edge
of the snow. From appearances the
snow has lain here far ages. It is over a
hundred feet deep at this writing , Aug
ust 22d , and cannot all melt before snow
falls again. In camp once more and with
a catch of 75 trout for the day's sport.
No game has been seen , as the sheep go
up above the timber on the range and
drive all large game back into the heart
of the mountains. The next morning
Bosworth , Cochran , McConnell and
Ouereau start for the range again , re
turning in the evening tired and foot
sore , from a walk of 16 miles , in which
an altitude of 11,000 feet was reached.
Many specimens and flowers were gath
ered by the party. The next morning
we are homeward bound , reaching the
Sweetwater for supper. During the
night two of our horses not being satis
fied with the day's journey of 36 miles ,
deserted , and we resumed our journey
on the morrow with but , two horses. At' '
noon we are in camp at the company's {
cabin on Dunbar meadows. The boys
are all delighted with their trip. To
morrow we leave for Rock Springs. *
where they take the train for home.
