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 .
