General Description of Lake Hopatcong 
 
 Magnificent in its scenic grandeur, with its majestic mountains rising proudly above its placid water, broken here and thereby 
 picturesque islands, Lake Hopatcong spreads itself among the hills of New Jersey like a diamond dropped from the sky; with its spark- 
 ling surface reflecting the clear hlue above, presenting a charming picture in a frame formed by the rich green verdure of the woods, with 
 pretty hotels and cozy cottages dotted among the trees where thousands gather to enjoy its matchless splendor. 
 
 Without a doubt, Lake Hopatcong is the most poijular mountain resort in New Jersey and is surpassed by none anywhere in the 
 
 country. Nowhere can the visitor find a more perfect blending of beauti- 
 fid scenery, clear sky and liealthful atmosphere, together with charming 
 drives through the \ery heart of nature, here and there touching the shore 
 of the lake. The entire picture is sublime. It is fifty-five miles around 
 the lake and the distance is covered with nature's own handiwork unfolded 
 to the eyes i.f m.in in a manner which holds him in awe and impresses him 
 with his own insignificence. Here and there as one passes througlj this 
 enchanted region, is seen a cottage or hotel, some so widely separated that 
 the occupants may the more freely commune with the birds, the trees and 
 the wild flowers with the ever present mo'intains nestling in whose bosom 
 is the lake with all its attractiveness. 
 
 Not all the places are isolated, however. Those who enjoy the sot ial 
 intercourse of neighbors will be ample satisfied in any of the towns along 
 the banks of the lake where the stores, hotels and cottages are clustered in 
 a pleasing manner. 
 
 The name Hopatcong is an Indian word meaning honey water of 
 many coves. The entire border of the lake is broken by hundreds of little 
 inlets and harbors. These forju picturesque points jetting out into the 
 water, from any of which one can get a magnificent panorama of the lake. 
 Cniiicopee C"o\e, which forms Chestnut Point, is one of the handsomest. 
 The view is charming. The mountains lower above you while the beauti- 
 ful sheet of water is at your feet. Its peaceful surface has a magnetism 
 seldom felt when viewing an)- other lake. 
 
 The hills roll away in an endless chain wliile occasionally a peak 
 lises al>o\e the rest and is honored witli a name, Mt. Arlington is one of 
 these, while just south of it is Mt, H irr_\-, grand in its stateliness, .a famous 
 lookout, which is easily accessible by a go(jd road leading to its sununit. 
 
 Nothing is lacking at Lake Hopatcong. P^ven the summer girl is 
 there in all her glory. She can sail, she can row. run an automobile, play 
 tennis or climb the mountains. In an\- and all she is ready for a contest 
 and she cannot be beaten. 
 
 Lake Hopatcong is only fort}-six miles from New York and is just 
 one-thousand feet above mean tide water. Lake George is seven-hundred 
 teet lower. The air here is cool, keen and bracing. There is no malaria 
 and no insects. The ntountains and the lake afford good sailing, fishing 
 and hunting.

Points of Interest 
 
 Nolan's Point, which is the oldest part and the veal father of all the surrounding points of interest, is governed by the town com- 
 mittee of Jefferson township It is a beautiful spot. Here many thousands of excursionists, coming by the Central Railroad of New 
 Jersey, alight from the cars directly on the edge of the lake. Here, also, arc many beautiful cottages, a store, the post office, express 
 oifice'and telephone exchange. The river Styx empties into the lake at this pouit. In leality this stream is a beautiful bay running into 
 the west shore of the lake at about its centre and winding in among the ninnntains, I lie south shore to a great extent, remains in its 
 original wild state of beauty, picturesque at every point, sheltered from the high winds and animated by the many canoes. Rowing about 
 haff a mile up the river Styx the bridge is reached It is a well built wooden structure over six-hundred and fifty feet long, which carries 
 the main west driveway across the bav. four miles from Hopatcong station. This bridge is a good place for fishermen whoh.ive no boats 
 and many a good catch is made with no danger of falling overboard. 
 
 Bisliop Rock is on the west shore opposite Halsey Island and is much favored by the campers. The boats stop here, as all visitors 
 to -.he lake want to see its nald scenery. It is one of the best points on the west shore to get a view in every direction, 
 
 Bonaparte Landing, named after Jerome Bonaparte, who made the greatest mistake of his life by not staying there, has a liold and 
 beautiful shore with many delightful views. 
 
 ( )ne of nature's phenomena is the Moating island. It lies in the southern end </f the lake. N'ou will find it on the map ami can 
 easily locate it. It is of considerable extent, three-hundred feet long by one-hundred and fifty feet wide. A remarkaljle thing about this 
 island is the small trees, many of them evergreens, which cover it thickly. Corn plants of an exceeding y linv form and the sidesaddle 
 plant, which is not found on any of the other islands or surrounding territory grows here. The leaves of the latter are of a hollow 
 pitcher-like form and have a wing-like appendage that extends the entire length of the leaf inside and from one to two inches outside. The 
 rhododendson, one of the most beautiful laurels that grows, is found here in abundance. The banks are lined with sweet wild roses. 
 Scientists have tried in vain to solve the problem of this so-called floating island. It does not move perceptibly except to rise and fall 
 according to the cjiidition of the lake.

 Sharp's Rock, which is opposite the Laurel House, is one that always attracts attention. It is a bold rock rising about twenty 
 feet and is seventy feet long, it drops down into the water smooth and steep. It has been for years a favorite camping resort. 
 
 Raccoon Island, the garden spot of all, is the site of many handsome cottages and hotels and the famous split rock is there. This 
 high boulder seems to have been cleft,into four hugh sections by a great tree which has grown up through its centre. The island is 
 covered with inuuense trees, a walk across, which up the Chincopee road toward VVoodport, will be found one of the many enjoyable 
 features in these parts. 
 
 Sperry Spring is on the south side of Byrani Bay. Here is the most celebrated spring about the lake, 
 picnic parties. Farmers are scarce around Lake Hopatcong. but near Sperry Spring you will find a few til 
 modest number of acres and are glad to sell you a glass of buttermilk. 
 
 In Byram Bay you will see the isl3nds called the •■ Three Sisters," a charming spot where vines and 
 hugh rocks. The main shore iiere is grand and imposing. It is classic ground, only reached by the boat 
 which marks the landing place is the Devil's stairs, an appropriate name indeed. 
 
 Halsey Island is one of the largest and most beautiful in the lake and has many handsome cottages. Bcrtrand Island is also well 
 worth visiting and a magnificent view of the lake can be had from it. This is a favorite resort for picnic parties. The scenery is wild 
 and oft from its shores many fishermen indulge in the sport and 
 make good catches. 
 
 Byram Cove is eight or nine n^'iles aw.iy. .Steaming up 
 from the depot, at no time can you see one-half of the lake at 
 once. It is a most picturesque place for cottages. 
 
 On the east side of the lake is the borough of Mt. Arling- 
 ton, which of late years, has grown rapidly. The number of 
 handsome cottages will be noted on another page Here you 
 will find several stores, a post office, telephone exchange, the St. 
 Peter's Episcopal church, Methodist church. '• The Lady of the 
 Lake " Catholic church, a large and handsome borough hall and a 
 school building. 
 
 The south end of this charming body of water is known as 
 The Landing, where the Delaware, Lackawana & Western rail- 
 road station is and where the two boat lines start. It is governed 
 by the town committee of Ro.xbury township At this point you 
 will find two stores owned by Mr. I'heoflore King. One is a gen- 
 eral store in which is the post office and the other an ice cream 
 and confectionery. Cottages are few here and there is but one 
 large hotel, known as the Westmoreland. 
 
 The west side of the lake is known as Hopatcong Borough 
 and is governed by a mayor and council. It has over loo hand- 
 some cottages and many hotels, but no stores. The Hopatcong 
 House is the oldest and largest hotel on this side. There is a tel- 
 ephone e.xchange, livery and automobile stables. It is about two 
 miles from the landing.

STATION LANDING 
 
 Photo by Hanis 
 
 Lake Hopatcong= = How To Get There 
 
 When starting from New York, Brooklyn or Jersey City 
 yiiu have the choice of two lines, the D. L. & VV. R. R. and 
 the N. J. Central. 'l"he former's depots are at the foot of Bar- 
 clay street, the other at the foot of Christopher street and West 
 street in New York. 
 
 The N. ]. Central depot is at the foot of Liberty street, 
 on West street. New York. Those starting from New York 
 will find the 1). L. it W. a shorter route. On this road many 
 trains run daily and on Sunda^-'s there are several. On the 
 N. J. Central there are fewer trains. The main station of the 
 1), L & W. R. R. is at the Landing (at the south end of the 
 lake). 
 
 People stopping at the east side of the lake can get Mt. Arlington station 
 and take tlie stage but a short distance from the Borough of Mt. Arlington. 
 Stages meet all trains and will convey you to all p.irts of the lake at a moderate 
 price. 
 
 In going from Philadelphia or Trenton, you can take the Philadelphia & 
 Reading Road to Bound Brook and then take the iSf. J. Central (which station is 
 at Nolan's Point on the lake) changing cars at High Bridge ; or take the Penn- 
 sylvania R. R. and change at Elizabeth for the N. j. Central or at Newark for 
 the [). L. & W. R. R. Those coming from Stroudsburg, Easton and Delawaii; 
 Water Gap should take the D. L. & W. R. R. and get off at the Landing. 
 
 There are two boat lines at the Landing that meet all trains. The Black 
 Line starts at the station in the canal, passes through the lock ami makes all 
 landings, stopping at private cottage wharfs when recjuested. 'I'he fare is 25 
 cents straight. Tlie White I>ine starts just across the road on the lake and 
 makes all landings and stoppages as the P.lack Line. The rate is 25 cents 
 single; round trip 40 cents. 
 
 Both of the above lines also carry baggage and freight. 
 
 These boats can be chartered by private parties at a moderate sum. The 
 ride around the lake is about twenty-five miles and is a delightful one, passing 
 many of the handsome cottages. The owners names are cheerfully given by any 
 of the employees on the boat. This is really the best way to see the cottages.

Early History of Lake liopatcong 
 
 As in all the states and territories in the United States the Indians were the first settlers at Lake Hopatcong. According to 
 history in 1758 they surrendered their title by treaty to the lands of New Jersey, reserving their rights to hunt and fish through tlie wilds 
 of the state. The name of this tribe as recorded was "Nariticongs" or Lenni Lenapes which afterward became the well-known tribe of 
 "Delawares." Previous to this Lake Hopatcong was a centre of Indian life, a large settlement being near and on Halsey Islmd. It 
 was a very peaceable tribe depending on their hunting and fishing as a means of livelihood. As early as 1726 they refused to j .in the 
 Iroquois against the English. 
 
 In 1867 the state having become thickly populated with the whites, the government made an agreement with the red men to go 
 to the Indian territory, each Delaware to be alloted 160 acres of land and each one was contribute to what was called the Cherokee 
 National fund, one dollar per acre for their Kind: also matched the Cherokee fund of §678,000 and their land holdings in Kansas com- 
 puted at Si, 000, 000. 
 
 There were other tribes of Indians in the state, but "Nariticongs" is the one particularly identified with Lake Hopatcong and its 
 islands and surroundings. They now occupy with the '-Caddos" and "Witchitas" a reservation on the Washita River a short distance 
 from Fort Sill and are peaceful and ardent tillers of the soil. 
 
 Old Black Beaver, their chief who died a few years ago, was a strong friend of many army officers. General McClellan and also 
 General Marcy, General McClellan's father-in-law wrote of him. He was one of the most trusty guides and scouts in the west and had 
 great influence not only with his own tribe, but with all the Indi- 
 ans whose chiefs often took counsel with him. He was a religi- 
 ous man, having been converted by a missionary and became a 
 member of the Methodist church mission, later he joined the 
 Baptists and himself establisiied a mission among the Witchitas 
 which is in existence at this writing. 
 
 The name Hopatchung, or Hopatcong, was given to the 
 lake by the Indians. It was sometimes called Musconetong, the 
 terminal "cong" seems to apply for some reason or other to sever- 
 al names, viz: Narticong, Lopatcong, Pohatcong and others. 
 
 Soon after wliites appeared, prospectors discerned iron ore 
 of a high grade in the mountains above the lake. It was mined 
 e-\tensively and to this day the iron ore mines of Morris and Sus- 
 sex counties are being worked successfully, notwithstanding the 
 abandonment of some of the old mines. 
 
 In 1832 the Morris Canal Company obtained the right to 
 raise the level of the lake by a dam near the outlet and since then 
 have, at different times, added to it, which has raised the level 
 over twelve feet and changed the size and shape of the lake very 
 materially. 
 
 Lake Hopatcong has been a noted fishing ground for fifty 
 years, but it is only within about twenty years that its desirability 
 as a summer resort became generally known, and its rise since 
 that has been steady but rapid.

Automobilin^, Driving and Wheeling 
 
 Many beautiful dri\es are around Lake Hopatcong and to nearby towns. 
 The roads are nearl\- all macadamized, the few that are not are smooth and solid. 
 A most delightful drive is from the Landing, up the west side of the lake to 
 Port Morris, Netcong. Stanhope, Kudd's Lake. Cranbury Lake, Andover and 
 Newton, a distance that is about twenty-five miles the round trip. 
 
 Pott Morris is a pleasant little village with about five-hundred inhabi- 
 t.uits. It is on the I). L & W. R. R. and many of the employees of the road 
 reside there. 'I'here are several good stores, post-office and shops. 
 
 Netcong is a thriving borough having a population of 1,200, .\ hand- 
 some bank liuilding in which the Citizens" Bank Corporation does a large busi-

 Another attractive drive, is starting from Mt. Arlington on the east side of the lake, crossing the railroad and canal at the Land- 
 ing, from there to Ledgewood ; this is a small town of 200 people, it has two hotels and two stores, a large grist mill and a number of 
 other enterprises. Then down to the magnificent Succasunna Plains to Succasunna ; it is a small attractive village of about 500 people

 it is on the line of the D. L. & W. R. R. and the N. J- Central R. R. is but half-aniile away. 
 
 Ken\ille is a small village with a population of about ,^00. In it is a large hotel and several stores, a large lumber and coal plant 
 on the lines of the C. R. R. of N.J. and the D. L. & \V. R. R. Dover with a population of 7,000 is a very enterprising city; 
 both electric and gas plants, several handsome churches, schools and many stores, as well as hotels, the principal one bemg

 miles from Lake Hopatcong and 40 miles from New York on the main line of the I). L. & W. R. R. The trains run frequently and a 
 number of commuters go daily, Mount Tabor is about 37 miles from New York and about 17 miles from the lake. There are a great 
 many cottages and boarding houses and it is a favorite summer resort. Every summer the great Methodist Camp Meeting is held there. A 
 short distance from Mount Tabor you reach Morris Plains. Here the New Jersey State Asylum for the insane is located. It is visited 
 by thousands of people every year. Morristown is one of the handsomest cities on tlie line of the D. L. & \V. R. R., 31 miles from New 
 York City and about 19 miles from the lake. It has a population of 15,000. Many wealthy people have beautiful residences here and 
 the number of business men who commute daily to New York is large. There are several churches, graded schools, banks, trust compan- 
 ies and newspapers. The stores are large and well stocked. It is a fashionable resort for summer boarders who thrive on the bracing 
 air and fresh vegetables. On returning there are several ways, the most direct is from Dover to Kenville to Mt. Arlington Station. An- 
 other most delightful drive is from the landing up to the west side of the lake to Sperry Springs which is about five miles. A short dis- 
 tance away the road forks the road leading to the right is the lake side boulevard and follows the shore to Pickerel Point and up to the 
 river Styx bridge. The left hand road leads to the same point but is a shorter drive. After crossing the bridge the roads branch off in 
 different directions through woods. Woodport is a small village at the upper end of the lake with a population of 100. The drives 
 through the woods are enlivened by many birds of different varieties constantly singing. On another page in this book will be 
 foinid a map sliowing the best roads tor automobiling and wheeling from New York to the Lake, also to Easton and Delaware Water Gap. 
 This map gives the altitude of each town through which you ride. The toinist in driving around the lake and to the few drives we have 
 mentioned will ascertain that there are many others equally as attractive, some in remote districts over roads that are passable and the 
 surroundings beautiful. There are always in country places new drives to be discovered and while you will find those quoted are the 
 most noted ones yet they may not prove as attractive as the new venture.

 I, .ike Hopatcong is a favorite resort for lovers of 
 camp life. Hundreds avail themselves of this opportunity 
 and tiirni parties lo spend a few weeks under canvas.

 ;4re,il wiriety of ti^h w.iiting to be caught and canned 
 goods of all kinds are easil\' packed and shipped. It's a 
 novelty in do your own cooking. There is always some- 
 one in the party who thinks he can do it. Tents can be 
 proiured in all sorts of styles and sizes. ,A large oil 
 stove is needed along with a table, frying pans, a few- 
 pots, kettles, cheap dishes, knives, forks, coffee and tea 
 unless, as some do, you roll up in a blanket and lay on the 
 
 canoeing. Boats of all kinds and sizes can be hired bv the dav or for

GOING THROUGH THE LOCK 
 
 Following IS a list of the dangerous places, 
 roeks and shoals to be avoided. 
 
 There is a ledge fifty feet out to the north, 
 near Dr. Van Wagener's point; shoals extend for 
 some distance out from Sperry Spring; the sail 
 around Raccoon Island can be made at most any 
 lime, but run slowly, you may sirike some obstacle; 
 north end of Hal^ey and Raccoon Islands the water 
 is shoal; be cautious when sailing between Hulsey 
 Island and the mainland ; there is shoal water above 
 Nolan's Point, keep toward Halsey Island- there are 
 timber obstructions fifty feet south of Allen's Pavil- 
 lion ; There's a rock forty fcetoff fiom first dock east 
 of Smith's dock, Nolan's Poin* ; there are many rocks 
 in shore and noi th side of Chamljerlain's Cove. Keep

 Steam and Other Launches 
 
 There are a large number of steam and other launches on the lake, 
 both large and small; the naptha boats predominate. On both sides of 
 the lake are places where boats can be chartered at a moderate price and 
 ihe trip around the lake is one of beauty all the way, a distance of about 
 twenty-five miles or more. 
 
 Capt. W. C. Cliffs handsome steamboat ' Gladys." flying red,

Cottages of Lake liopatcong 
 
 No expense is spared in the erection of summer cottages at Lake Hopatcong. The)' rival the handsome structures in Newport 
 and Narraganset. In no other place in the state will be found so many different styles of architecture, while the material used in their 
 construction is of every kind imaginable. There are several hundred cottages about the lake. They are owned by bankers, lawyers, 
 physicians, merchants and retired business men from all parts of the countrv. The facilities for reaching the lake make it convenient 
 for commuters to the cities. 
 
 Around many of the cottages the grounds are beautifully laid out. Handsome trees and flower-beds are seen, while other places 
 are allow-ed to remain in their original rustic beauty, which is often more enchanting than the modern efforts of the landscape gardener. 
 
 These homes of the summer residents form a picturesque scene when driving or sailing around the beautiful lake. One of the 
 most prominent cottages in the borough of Hopatcong, is that of Mr. L R. Edwards, a retired banker. It is a handsome, large building 
 at Bishop Rock, standing high above the lake. A long, wide stone and concrete walk leads down to his large boat-house in which are 
 several boats. Among tnem is the yacht -'Little Minister," 25 feet long and 7 feet beam. This boat has won every race in which she 
 has been entered. Mr. Edwards has a handsome 
 gasoline yacht, " Arellee." which is very fast 
 and accommodates thirty people. 
 
 Rev. Dr. Gessler's " Tanglewild " cottage 
 is beautifully situated near the lake. Mr. Gessler 
 is secretary of the Baptist Congress of the United 
 States. Not far from Mr. Edward's commodious 
 mansion is the cottage owned by Dr. Lewis S. 
 Pilcher, called "The Eagles Nest.'' It is 150 
 feet above the lake. It has a conservatory com- 
 manding a grand view of the water. Dr. Pilcher 
 is senior surgeon in the Seney and German Hos- 
 pitals in Brooklyn.

 place, with well kept lawns and substantial stone- 
 walk to one of the handsomest private boat-houses 
 on the lake. Mr. W. H. Rankin, former mayor 
 of Elizabeth, N. J., has a handsome cottage with 
 many roon^s ; also a strongly constructed wharf

 a large boat-house and on each side of the broad stone walk are eight stone pillars above which is a short gas pipe from which a beautiful 
 light presents itself at night from the lake. The lawn is well kept and there is a large summer pavilion on the bank of the lake. Mr. j. 
 Aldred's " Moss Rock " cottage is a handsome two-story frame building with many rooms. Mr. Aldred is justly proud of the long winding 
 stone walk down to his boat-house and dock. The stones are on the side of walk, arranged in a wall a few feet high and placed in an 
 odd position, adding much to its attractiveness. Another feature of this place is the large garden which yields an abundance of vege- 
 tables and berries. Very few of the cottages are surrounded by ground that is tillible. Mr. Hudson Maxim's " Maxemhurst Cottage," 
 is a commodious green building located^on the hill. Mr. Jaegle, vice-president of the First National Bank, of Hoboken, and treasurer of 
 the Hoboken Coal Company, enjoys a 'palatial residence near Sharp's Rock. Mr. Alexander Lambert is pleasantly located at Point

Fishing- 
 
 Nearh' all men and ladies, too, delight in fishing. 'I'he 
 trne lovers of the sport will sit qnietlv. waiting for a bite a long 
 time without growing impatient. But this is not necessary at 
 Lake Hopatcong. 
 
 The proper thing to do is to engage the services of a guide, 
 who will take you in a good size row boat to the best fishing places 
 for a moderate compensation. But vou are assured of a good 
 catch if you trv vour luck with your partv alone. 
 
 Bla''k Bass, pickerel, perch, sunfish, catfish and eels are 
 here waiting to be caught. The bass and pickerel are very large. 
 Hor bass and pickerel use minnows for bait or a bright troll. The 
 live bait is best when it can be procured. 
 
 The best fishing grounds, the guide will tell you, if you go 
 alo'.iL, is west of Bertrand Island, about two feet north of Mt, Ar- 
 lin;4l<in dock. 
 
 In the rix'er St\x you will be made happy. Off Dr. Carter's 
 dock and about loo feet on the south side i.'f Davis' Cove are e.\- 
 cellent places. 
 
 Try the channel from Halsey Island to the lime kiln. 
 Many prefer fishing between Raccoon and Halsey Islands in the 
 shallow water. In Bvram Cove manv fishermen go. To be 
 candid; one can go anvwhere on the lake and be assured of a goou 
 day's sport.

 Bathing 
 
 No person feels better than after indulging- in :\ h.tth, par- 
 ticularly so when in the .sweet waters of Lake Mopatcony. There 
 are iii;tny places around the lake conducted on business and san- 
 itary rules, making it perfectly safe for ;tny adult or even child to 
 indulge in a dip in the lake. 
 
 Early morning is the favorite time with many and probably 
 the most beneficial, as it whets up your appetite and the hotel man 
 
 sutlers a loss bv the extra large meal you eat. It i;. wise not to go 
 in bathing until two hours after eating, three may be better. 
 
 Bathing is one of the most healthful sports, as well as 
 amusing. In the water many games can be played by skilled 
 swimmers. Ladies will find bathing shoes very desirable and a 
 large straw hat, as the sun blisters. Through the season at several 
 of the bathing houses there are swimming matches, opeu to all 
 comers, at which valuable prizes are contested for. 
 
As a Health Resort 
 
 Many people of the United States spend time and money in going to 
 foreign countries for the benefit of their health, totally ignorant of the benefits 
 of the dry, bracing atmosphere and the pure drinking water found at Lake 
 Hopatrong and its immediate surroundings. One week's visit at this, the 
 pride of New Jersey's popular summer, as well as winter resorts, will convince 
 all of the healthfulness of the place. 
 
 'I'he air is cool and bracing and a persr}n's appetite increases from the 
 first day. Dyspeptics will soon ascertain that life is really worth li\ing. 
 There are no factories to pollute the air with smoke. 
 
 Many of the residents, and those who built and occupy their hand- 
 some cottages, first came to the lake to lest the beneficial effects of the 
 atmosphere and the water. One test was sufficient to satisfy them that Lake 
 Hopatcong was an ideal spot in every particular. Reference can now be 
 given t 1 several well-known New York physicians who were skeptical, doubt- 
 ing the veracity of those who advocated the healthfulness of this, now popular 
 resort. 
 
 The advantage of walking, rowing, bathing and sailing gives beneficial 
 e.xercise, and, if parties wish to indulge in the beautiful dri\es, they can do so 
 at a small e.xpense. Children particularly, who are in ill health, improve so 
 rapidly as to surprise their doting parents. 
 
 Lake Hopatcong is a place vi'here a man, run down by over brain 
 work, will soon recuperate and enjoy an appetite which will startle him. The 
 nervous mother, when she stcs how happy and improved in health the child- 
 ren are, looses all her nervousness and rapidly improves in health herself. 
 
 Lake Hopatcong is about si.xty miles around and the visitors for their 
 health ha\-e a large territory from which to choose. The same pure mountain 
 air, which sweeps over the lake even in the hottest day in suiinner, is found 
 at all parts hi other places the air is cool and invigorating and at the time 
 one feels like retiring, the heavy blanket is an essential covering. Then, too. 
 think what a comfort and blessing it is to retire to your peaceful -couch and 
 and not be annoyed by the "Jersey Mosquito!" These natives of some 
 parts of New Jersey never visit Lake Hopatcong, evidently- the atmosphere is 
 not to their liking. This is an important point in choosing a New Jer.~ey 
 summer resort At other resorts the wicked little insect often so annovs 
 visitors that they leave and by so doing, loose all the benefits to health and 
 good nature otherwise obtained. 
 
 No mosquitoes are here and flies are rarely seen. In a nutshell, for 
 perfect rest from all care and a sure beneficial result to your health and vom 
 family, you cannot do better than visit Lake Hopatcong.

A Winter at Lake Hopatcong 
 
 The summer visitors at Lake Hopatcong almost invariably 
 come back diiriiiL; the winter to spend a week or more. It is cold, 
 liut the air is bracing. 
 
 As a rule, skating and sleighing are good. One particular 
 and very interesting object of interest to the visitors, is to watch the 
 hundreds of men gathering the ice harvest The scene of greatest 
 activity is around Nolan's Point, where there are large ice houses. 
 They have a capacity of many hundreds of thousands of tons. 
 Many thousand tons are shipped to New York to be stored. The 
 cutting is done by a machine drawn by horses and is an interesting 
 sight. Some seasons several crops are gathered. 
 
 There are frequent hops given by some of the winter hotels 
 and for those who make their homes at the Like all the year around 
 social life is lively. Many, notwithstanding the cold blasts of winter, 
 cut holes through the ice and make good catches of iish. the same as 
 is practiced in the many lakes of Michigan. 
 
 One peculiar feature about Lake Hopatcong is that one rarely 
 _.. _£j^^^^^™»- ■ . _i^^»^- meets a person with a cold in the head. The nature of the air is 
 
 ^, ■4^S0^ ^^SSt^^^BE^ii''^^^^^^'^^^ such that it is almost impossible to be attacked and those sufifering 
 
 — ^^^^ — ' with a cold when arriving there are agreeably surprised to hnd it dis- 
 
 BORouoM MALL, tviT. ARL,MOTo~ I'boto by Pricc appear aluiost Ih a ulght. Lake Hopatcong and its surn-undings are 
 
 a model winter resort. 
 For those who have never spent a winter in the mountains, who think they must be surrounded with the great roar of city life, 
 with its crowded stores, well paved streets and merry play houses, a great treat is still in store for them. Just try a winter at Lake 
 Hopatcong once and enjoy the experience, if nothing else. The contrast will be the first to impress you. That whicn. in summer, was 
 
 coated with green, with a soft, blue sky about will be a mountain of white glistening in the sunlight. The smooth surface of the lake, 
 across whxh you had been accustomed to see pretty boats glidt-, tossed by tlie ripples of a summer breeze, will be of the same crystal 
 whiteness, dazzling to the eye. but making one of the most beautiful sights one could 
 imagine. 
 
 But it is the tingle in the blood, that feeling of new life which seems to thro 
 through every vein, which makes you glad you came and makes you want t i stay longer. 
 You put your hands on yotu' chest and expand yoiu" hnigs with keen delight.

Lake MuSCOnetCOng, Moms^LSy, New jersey 
 
 Lake Musconetcong, one of the most beautiful of northern 
 New Jersey's many attractive sheets of water, is located in the 
 midst of tii'e jersev High'ands, 49 11 iles from New York, on the 
 main line of the I). L/&- W. R. R. 
 
 This beautiful lake is over a mile in length and nearly 1000 
 acres in extent, surrounded by gentle slopes and include a num- 
 ber of small islands. 
 
 A moj-e attractive and available tract for building sites can- 
 not be found in the state for hotel or boarding house purposes. 
 Especially adapted to summer business. The tract is now- on 
 the market and to secure immediate improvement is offered at 
 prices much below permanent value. It includes 50 lots, located 
 in the Borough ot Netcong, between the south shore of Lake 
 Musconelcong and the state macadam road, with about 1500 feet 
 of shore front. Earlv buyers will have first choice. 
 
 The tract is in excellent condition for immediate building, 
 lots dry and on high ground, sloping gently toward the lake, 
 with ptiblic streets running through it in both directions. All 
 the lots command a charming view of the entire lake; some in a 
 beautiful grove near the lake shore and every lot is desirable, 
 although some are offered as low as §100. 
 
 At" present prices, the lots will net 100 per cent, profit as an 
 property for the immediate erection of residences or for hotel or 
 
 investment within three years, but parties who contemplate the purchase of 
 boarding purposes, may secure a choice location here upon the most favor- 
 able terms. 
 
 The Borough of Netcong, about one and one-half miles along 
 the southern shore of Lake Musconelcong and the Musconetcong 
 river, has a population of 1300. It is about one square mile 
 in extent and includes many of the most desirable building and 
 home sites. It is 100 miles from New York; macadamized roads ; 
 pure spring water for domestic use or fire protection; lighted by 
 electricity and a well equipped fire department: bank; a pros- 
 perous and progressive building-and loan association; churches 
 ind a high school. Excellent railroad service to or from New 
 \ ork and the west, also to Newton and points in Sussex County. 
 
 Tbe waters abound with fish of the choicest of fresh water 
 • irieties, such as bass, jiickerel, perch, catfish and many others. 
 
 The lake is at an altitude of about 900 feet above sea level, 
 while surroundin,g hills near by reach the heighth of. 1300 feet. 
 The atmosphere is pure and bracing and no mosquitoes. 
 
 The building sites must be sold at once and the buyers will 
 never regret their investments. 
 
 For any desired information or specific prices and descrip- 
 tions of lots, suitable for specified purposes, call or address
