The Hudsons Bay Company have storehouses at eachend of the tramway, but for their own use only. Free-traders have to portage their supplies over a very rough pathbeneath the cliffs. Both banks of the river are of sandstone,capped on the left by a wall of cream-coloured rock, seventyor eighty feet in height, at a guess. A creek comes in fromthe west which has cloven the sandstone bank almost to thewaters edge; and running along the top of these sandstoneformations are, everywhere, thick layers of coal, which isalso found, in a great bed, on the opposite shore, and aboutthree miles back from the river. The coal had been used bya trapper there, and is a good burner and heater, leaving.
