 Into The Lake Region. 
 
 HE FULTON CHAIN OF LAKES stretches through the green woods like a string of pearls 
 on a silver cord. Beyond are the crystal fibers that enter into the Queenly Raquette and 
 farther still are Utowana and dainty Blue Mountain, while northward toward the land of 
 the Saranacs stretches the slender form of Long Lake. 
 
 Years ago came old John Brown — not he of Osawatomie, but a man of money from Rhode 
 Island — who scented iron in the ground, which meant millions to the fortunate possessor if the 
 delicate question of manufacture had not entered in. A son-in-law also came — a German noble, Baron Herreshoff — 
 who. with science and enthusiasm linked, as the chronicle relates, threw heart and soul into the enterprise and finally 
 — when he found that the iron had cost him a dollar a pound to manufacture — threw himself into the hole he had made, 
 and called on his men to cover him over. Later he shot himself. 
 
 The old forge crumbled; the dam rotted away, and the place became as one forgotten. But with the railroad new 
 life entered in, and now along the shores of the lakes are hundreds of summer cottages and dainty camps and hotels 
 sufficient for all who may come. And now comes the locomotive and palace cars, from the heart of the Big City to pene- 
 trate even to the heart of the Wilderness, resting not until the shores of the Raquette are reached where swift steamers 
 cut their way through crystal waters to the outlet, and up the winding Marion through intermediate links into the lake 
 that rests under Blue Mountain, Yet over all is the almost untouched beauty of the Great Wilderness!
