waet River directly north-west of Illecillewaet Village. A trail leads from the village over the pass to the Corbin Mine, situated on the south slopes of Corbin Peak. (See "Among the Selkirk Glaciers," by W. S. Green, Chap. XII.)
Corbin Peak—Name: After a prospector from Illecillewaet Village.
Altitude: 8,892 feet.
Location: A sharp pointed peak between Caribou Creek and the North Fork of the Illecillewaet River. It holds several small glaciers on its western slopes, and furnishes a firstrate viewpoint of the surrounding district, particularly of Fang Rock and the innumerable snowfields and glaciers at the head of the north fork of the Illecillewaet River and of Downie Creek on the opposite side of the divide.
Dawson Range The—Name: From 'Mt. Dawson, its highest mountain.
Location: On the south side of the Illecillewaet Névé. Geikie Glacier, and Geikie Creek. The Dawson Range is a minor sub-range of the Selkirks. comprising ]Its. Fox, Selwyn, Dawson and Donkin, a bold group of mountains with splendours of snow and ice. A number of extremely interesting glaciers have their origin in this range, sending streams east to the Beaver River and west to the Incomappleux (Fish Creek). The Dawson and Donkin Glaciers form a striking example of the double cirque. The Donkin Pass is between Mts. Dawson and Donkin. From the Asulkan Pass, the range presents wildly spectacular effects, and photographers are recommended to this point of vantage.
Dawson Mt.—Name: By W. S. Green, after the late George M. Dawson, D.S., F.G.S., Director of the Geological Survev of Canada.
Altitude: 11,113 feet.
Location: The highest and central massif of the Dawson Range, comprising Hasler, Feuz, and Michel Peaks.
First Ascent (Hasler Peak): Bv Messrs. Fav and Parker in 1899.
Route: Reached from Glacier House via Asulkan Pass, Geikie Glacier, right moraine of Dawson Glacier, and east head-wall of Dawson Amphitheatre.
Time required: Two days, with camp one night at the foot of the moraine. The second day will be long and hard. It can be done more comfortably in three, with two nights out. The camp outfit must be carried on the shoulders. For inexperienced climbers one guide is necessary. As an alternative returning route, the ridge of Mt. Dawson may be traversed, passing from Hasler Peak over Feuz and Michel Peaks, and descending Donkin Glacier. In this case two guides are safer. Climb: rock and snow, with several ice-couloirs.
View: From the summit there is a magnificent view of the upper snow-world of the Selkirks. A chaos of shining snow fields and tumbling icefalls are everywhere. In his "Selkirk Range," Mr. Wheeler thus describes the sight from Mt. Dawson: "It is difficult to describe a scene of such immensity. The horizon plane cut clear above all other heights in the field. Snow peaks rose in every direction; but most prominent and attractive was the isolated and graceful form of Mt. Purity, some four miles to the south-west, ris-
