Title	Signal Corps relief cabin on Delta Summit
Description	Album caption: Signal Corps relief cabin on Delta Summit, where the second and first sections of the Washington-Alaska Military Cable & Telegraph System meet. At the end of Fielding Lake, a sheet of water about eight miles long. This pass is but about 3500 feet above sea-level and one of the proposed routes for the railroad to the interior. Picture taken July 4th 1913. Snow patches still in evidence, still it was necessary to build a smudge as a protection against mosquitoes during the few minutes we remained in the vicinity . Visible in the photograph is the log relief cabin, two men standing near the telegraph pole, two saddled horses to the right of the cabin, Fielding Lake and the trail along the lakeshore
