Report of the Minister of Lands, Forests
and Mines of the Province of Ontario

For the Year Ending 31st October, 1919

To His Honour the Lieutenant-Governor of the Province of Ontario.

May it Please Your Hoxour:

I have the honour to submit for the information of your Honour and the
Legislative Assembly a report for the fiscal year ending 31st October, 1919, of
the management of the Crown Lands of the Province.

Clergy Lands.

The collection on account of Clergy Lands was $487.70. Xo land was dis-
posed of during the year. (See Appendix No. 3, page 21.)

Common School Lands.

The area of these lands sold during the year was 72.33 acres for $109.87.
The 'Collection on account of these and former ^ales was $7,984.02. (See Appendix
No. 3, page 24.)

Grammar School Lands.

The collection on account of former sales was $627.54. (See Appendix No.
3, page 24.)

University Lands.

The area of these lands sold during the year was 119.50 acres for $59.75.
The collection on account of these and former sales was $2,064.40. (See Appendix
No. 3, page 24.)

Crown Lands.

There was sold during the year for agricultural and town site areas 49,704.32
acres for $48,119.74. The collection on account of these and former sales was

There was collected on account of these and former sales $28,510.54.

There was leased for mining purposes 2,137.21 acres for $1,562.99. Tliere
was collected on account of these leases and those of former years $14,270.78.
There was leased of Crown Lands an area of 8,820.41 acres for $2,164.25. There
was collected on account of these and the leases of former years $66,024.15.

REPORT OF THE

No. 3

The total area of Crown lands disposed of by sale and lease during the year
was 71,454.05 acres for a value of $80,366.61, as compared with 103,701.59 acres
sold and leased in 1917 for $80,345.43. The total collection on account of the
sales, leases, etc., was $199,810.90. (See Appendix No. 3, page 24.)

Sales.

Throughout the fiscal year ending 31st October, 1919, more inquiries were
received and answered than during any corresponding period since the outbreak of

the Great War. While all these did not result in actual sales it is gratifying to
observe that more purchasers acquired land during the past than the previous
year although the acreage involved is approximately the same. Appendix No. 15
is a compilation of all land sales and grants other than those occurring in Free
Grant Territory and from this may be ascertained in detail the transactions accord-
ing to townships, agencies and districts. It was necessary to cancel 208 sales for
failure of the purchasers to meet the prescribed conditions of settlement while
19 sales were restored for Just cause and 312 settlers, for various reasons, were
permitted to assign their interests to bona fide tillers of the soil.

1919-20 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS, FORESTS AND MINES. 7

Settlers to the number of 539 proved up and acquired their patents for an
area of 55,000 acres against approximately 400 and an acreage of 36,000 for the
year 1918. An evidence of the desire of the settlers to maintain their payments
in respect of land purchases is found in the fact that the collections on account of
new and old sales exceeded last year's by nearly $30,000, although in a number
of cases where returned soldiers presented their credentials the arrears due the
Crown were remitted. Several old Clergy and Common School land sales were
paid in full and the proper claimants secured titles.

The unsolved problems arising out of the war with the general state of unrest
and the somewhat restricted field from which to draw desirable settlers tend to with-
hold for the time being a rush to the northern sections of the Province. The
economic strain of modern life conduces to a desire to a hurried investment and
a quick and extensive return from the land rather than to an ambition to hew
out a home by steady and persistent pioneer methods.

Flock going to pasture; Boulter Ranch, Nipissing District.

With a gradual return, however, to more stable conditions and to a more
general realization of the necessity of putting in labour on the undeveloped lands
of the Crown to secure adequate crop results and, within a measurable degree of
success, a reasonable equilibrium between production and consumption, there shall
be an impetus to the " back to the land " movement. Any predictions apart from
this as respects land purchases and active settlement in Northern Ontario would
be unjustifiable in the face of problematical immigration conditions and the
financial aid and general appeal held out to returned men to resume the many
abandoned cleared farms in the older sections of the Province.

Free Grants.

There were 576 settlers who took up free homesteads within the year, or over
150 more than the previous year. The area thus located comprised 72,420 acres.
Patents for such homesteads issued to 431 while assignments numbering 253

EEPORT OP THE No. 3

covering an area of 34,123 acres were duly approved. The privilege of buying
an additional area adjacent to a homestead for pasturing fuel or cropping purposes
was exercised by 140 locatees.

Although in Appendix No. 14 practically all the Free Grant townships appear
for the purposes of maintaining a detailed reference according to agencies and
districts a perusal of same will show that in some no locations were effected and
in others but few. This is due to the fact that many of the areas involved have
been in the market for a long period and all the desirable land therein has been
acquired.

Checking up delinquents with a view to ascertaining the extent of their
settlement requirements resulted in the cancellation of 425 persons whose locations
in a number of instances had been allowed years ago.

The remarks under the previous heading " Sales " in respect of the future
of settlement apply with equal force to Free Homesteading.

A list of the islands sold in Free Grant territory appears in Appendix 14.

Patents, Leases, Licenses.

Instruments to the number of 1,394 were issued through the Patents Office,
an increase of 43 over the year ending 31st October, 1918.

Of the total 850 covered settlers' patents, 68 veteran grants and 377 mining
grants and leases. The remaining 190 consisted of Crown Leases, Licenses of
Occupation, Pine Patents and Orders-in-Council.

In addition to the entry of all such documents the Patents Office is required
to prepare references, make daily searches respecting old grants, record new ones
and to regularly mark and maintain the office maps showing all transactions as
indicated in the instruments issued in accordance with Appendix 8.

Military Grants.

Under the Veteran Land Act, 1 Edward VII, Cap. 6, and amendments thereto,
there have been issued 13,998 certificates, and although the time for receiving
applications for these grants expired on the 30th September, 1908, there are still
letters being received from men who were entitled to this grant, but claim that
they have only now become aware of the fact. These applications, therefore, could
not now be accepted and no forms of applications have been sent out.

During the past year there have been located 45 of these certificates covering
7,189 acres in the townships open for veterans, making in all a total of 8,329
certificates thus located.

In six cases the certificates have been surrendered and applied in payment
of lands purchased from the Crown, covering in all 960 acres, making a total of
791 that have thus been applied.

There were three certificates surrendered to the Crown for the $50.00 com-
mutation money, making a total of 3,263 certificates surrendered in this manner.

During the year there have been issued. 34 patents for lands located by
veterans, and in all 7,371 have thus been disposed of.

The total number of certificates that have, therefore, been disposed of is
12,383, leaving 1,615 that are still outstanding.

During the year 16 veteran locations, covering 2,549 acres, were cancelled
for the non-performance of the settlement duties to which they became subject
on account of being assigned before patent was issued.

1919-20 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS, FOEESTS AND MINES. 9

Under the Act 1 Edward VII, Cap. 6, and amendments thereto covering
these grants it is necessar}^ for all locatees of the lands granted under this Act
to apply for their patents for such lands before ten years have expired from
the date of location. If this application for patent is not made within ten years
then the land comes under the settlement regulations, and unless the settlement
duties are proceeded with, the locations are liable to cancellation. Previous to
the expiration of the ten years after location, the Department has sent a notice to
each veteran, who should apply for his patent stating this fact, and in this manner
has saved many of the locations from becoming subject to the settlement duties.
See Appendix No. 11.

Financial Assistance to Settlers.

The Settlers' Loan Commissioner reports having received up to October 31st,
1919, a total of 3,001 applications for loans, amounting in all to $776,790.00.
In all, 1,414 loans have been made to settlers amounting to $442,256.00. In
addition, an advance of $12,000 was made to the Sudbury Co-Operative Creamery
Company, to which reference was made in the annual report for the previous year.

Requests for loans are given most careful consideration, but advances are
not made except in cases where the security offered is sufficient to afford the Depart-
ment every reasonable protection.

It is worthy of note that nearly 90 per cent, of accrued interest payments
have been taken care of by borrowers, and further that payments on principal
have exceeded the amounts due on account — ^numerous loans having been paid off
in advance of date of maturity.

The settlers of Northern Ontario, generally speaking, appear to appreciate
fully the advantages afforded by the Settlers' Loan Commissioner, and the amounts
which have been advanced, undoubtedly, have greatly assisted settlement in the
north, and have also considerably increased production along agricultural lines.

Memorandum Re Mineral Industry in Ontario for 1919.

The chief metallic products of Ontario are nickel, copper, gold and silver.
The effect of the great war was to stimulate the production of three of these
metals, namely, nickel, copper and silver, while on gold it had the opposite effect.

Nickel and copper are essentials for modern warfare, and while the war con-
tinued their production rose to the maximum capacity of the mines. Of nickel the
total output in 1918 was 46,072 tons, having a value of $27,840,422. The signing
of the armistice on the 11th November, 1918, found the allied governments and
munition contractors stocked with nickel and the demand at once ceased. Curtail-
ment of operations at the mines and smelters immediately followed, and for the
larger part of 1919, only a minimum amount of work was done, awaiting the
absorption of the surplus nickel by peace and reconstruction industries. Towards
the end of the year demand revived, and the prospect is for an early resumption on
a pre-war scale. The total output in 1919 was about one-half that of the previous
year, and the value fell to about $12,000,000. There was a similar reduction in
the output of copper, say from 23,000 tons to about half the quantity, the value
being about $3,500,000.

The extraordinary demand for silver, and the falling off of the output in all
silver-producing countries, had a marked effect on the Cobalt silver mines. This

2 F.M.

10 • EEPORT OF THE No. 3

demand continued and was intensified during 1919. With silver at $1.25 and
$1.30 per ounce, waste dumps became valuable, and abandoned properties were
reworked. Long continued and steady production by the established mines has now
told heavily on the reserves of ores at Cobalt. Labour strikes brought about a
stoppage of the mines for nearly two months. When the statistics of production are
compiled, they will doubtless show a heavy falling off in the quantity of silver
produced as compared with 1918. " The increased price of the metal will assist
the figures of aggregate value, but these too will show a decline.

In the case of gold, the steadily mounting cost of supplies and labour narrowed
the margin for profits while the war lasted. There has been no relaxation in these
respects even since, but with the return of the skilled miners the efficiency of labour
has markedly risen. The gold output for 1919 will be about $10,000,000, or an
increase of $1,800,000 over 1918. In fact, the outlook of gold mining in Northern
Ontario is decidedly good. The Hollinger mine at Porcupine, is one of the largest
gold mines of the world, and is now producing at the rate of about $8,000,000
per annum. Ore reserves at the Hollinger and Mclntyre mines are being enlarged,
and the camp is on a solid basis. The position of Kirkland Lake, too, has been
improved. The east-and-west vein system running through the bed of Kirkland
Lake and lying to the south of it, contains high gold values, and a group of
important mines is being established upon it. The Lake Shore, Wright-Hargreaves,
Kirkland Lake, Teck-Hughes, and others are in this neighbourhood. Tough-Oakes
and Associated Gold Mines lie further to the east. The newer gold camps,
including Boston Creek, Bourkes, Fort Matachewan and other*, are passing througn
the development stage. At Larder Lake there is also considerable activity. Gold
finds have been made near Schreiber on the main line of the C.P.E. and south
of Dryden station. It can be truthfully said that in the pre-Cambrian formations
of Northern Ontario the gold prospector will find as promising a scene for Tiis
labours as anywhere else in the world.

Other minerals are being sought for in territory north of the Transcontinental
railway. Lignite, iron ore, gypsum and refractory clay are known to exist, and
these deposits are now being investigated. The limestone formations underlying
the coastal slope by no means preclude the existence of oil, gas or salt. Distances
are great and the expense of moving machinery is heavy, and it is proposed by
some to call in the use of the seaplane to assist in exploration.

The mineral industry in older Ontario is largely a non-metallic one, except
m Hastings county and the lead deposits on the Ottawa river. The output of
building materials has been kept down by the high level to which prices have
risen, and until there is a reduction in values, or what is more likely to happen,
until the new level becomes a normal one, capital will not flow freely into the
building trade. Petroleum shows an increase in production over 1918 ; natural gas
a decline, due both to the failing supply and to the governmental efforts at restric-
tion to domestic uses. The remaining materials on the long list of non-metallic
products, continue to be produced in about the usual quantities, but in most cases
in larger values.

Woods akd Forests,

The accrued revenue from Woods and Forests for the year ending October
31st, 1919, amounted to $2,278,558.66, which exceeded that of the previous year
by $642,874.33.

The revenue collected during the same period totalled $1,803,081.36, or
$46,996.11 in excess of the amount collected during the year ending October 31st,
1918.

The production of pine timber during the season of 1918-19 amounted to
over one hundred, and ninety-two million feet board measure, as against approxi-
mately two hundred and eighteen million feet for the previous season, representing
a decrease of, in round numbers, twenty-six million feet. The production of other
timber amounted to somewhat over thirty-eight million feet, as against twenty-
nine million feet for the previous season.

Pulpwood cut from Crown lands for the season 1918-19 amounted to 320,195
cords as against 338,563 cords for the previous season.

A very large increase will be noted in the number of railway ties removed
from Crown lands. The cut for the current season amounted to 5,140,654 ties as
against 2,094,099 ties cut during the season of 1917-18. The price of railway
ties continues to advance.

No pulpwood concessions were disposed of during the current year.

It might also be noted that pulpwood amounting to 414,977 cords was removed
from settlers' lands, also 1,064,675 railway ties.

Cullers' Examination. '

Two examinations were held during the year, one at North Bay and one at
Kenora. Four candidates succeeded in passing the examination and were duly
granted certificates authorizing them to act as Cullers. For names of Cullers who
passed at these examinations, see page 41, Appendix 12. For complete list of
licensed Cullers see Minister's Reports for 1917 and for 1918.

Fire Protection.

The season of 1919 was the third season during which the Forestry Branch
was charged with the work relating to the Forest Fire Prevention Act of 1917.
In submitting his report for 1919, the Provincial Forester suggests that considera-
tion be given to legislation which will provide for compulsory fire fighting by
local labour in cases of necessity. Attention is also drawn to the advisability of
amending the Forest*Fires Prevention Act to provide more effective penalties for
violation of the permit regulations. Such violations of the permit regulations
are punishable at the present time by fine only.

During the season of 1919, six thousand six Imndred and thirty-five fire
permits were issued covering a total of 26,790 acres, as against nine thousand
five hundred and ninety permits for the season of 1918, covering 39,633 acres.
Twenty-three persons were prosecuted for infractions of the permit regulations
and convictions were secured in twenty cases. As has been intimated above, the
time seems opportune for consideration of the insertion in the Act of provisions
for more drastic penalties in cases of flagrant offences.

The territory protected was divided into thirty ranger districts. The field
force consisted of one Superintendent, four Inspectors, tliirty Chief Rangers,
forty-nine Deputy Chief Rangers, with a maximum of one thousand and fourteen
rangers.

Forest Fires.

During the early part of the fire season the weather was comparatively wet,
and it was accordingly possible to keep the ranging staff at a minimum. In the
month of ^lay the weather became very dry, and a period of three months of
abnormally dry weather conditions followed. Fires became numerous and assumed
large proportions.

Difficulty was first encountered in the Clay Belt District. The permit system
undoubtedly saved the situation from becoming more serious than was actually
the case. Clearing fires, however, in numerous cases got out of control, and

1919-20 DEPAKTMEXT OF LANDS, FOEESTS AND MINES. 13

resulted in the destruction of considerable property but fortunately there was no
loss of life.

The most serious loss and damage occurred in the central inspectorate, em-
bracing, roughly, the middle portion of the white pine belt in Ontario. It does
not appear that the loss of standing timber was the most serious factor, but
rather the destruction of young growth. In the strip of country lying between
Lake Nipissing and Sault Ste. Marie, lying south of the Mississauga Forest Reserve
it appears that approximately 522,000 acres were burned over. The western and
southern inspectorates also suffered from severe fires.

The protracted period of dry weather, in some districts, the scarcity of water
and the extreme difficulty in securing competent labour, all added to the diffi-
culties of the fire ranging staff and added to the losses occasioned.

Measures will have to be taken having in view the more thorough protection
of cut-over lands, and it would seem the time is opportune to consider the more
general adoption of slash disposal regulations.

The total area reported as being burned over exceeded 922,000 acres.

It is found ^nce again that the various railways were the most fruitful causes
of fires. Eeports indicate that 48 per cent, of all fires reported originated from
this source. 8.2 per cent, of all fires reported were attributed to settlers, 11.2 per
cent, to campers, the remainder from various causes — in numerous cases unknown.

Improvement Work.

Improvement work was necessarily curtailed during the season of 1919, owing
to the serious fire situation and to the shortage of labour.

Equipment.

Steps were taken to have all equipment such as canoes, railway velocipedes,
etc., painted the same colour, and after a uniform pattern. All equipment was
stencilled, or branded, and the main articles of equipment were numbered on a
definite system, to assist in the keeping of proper records, and to determine the
life of various goods supplied by different manufacturers. Considerable new
equipment in the shape of canoes, power boats, tents, etc., was added.

Large provision is required for the proper storage of all equipment, and
accordingly, a number of store-houses have been erected notwithstanding which
it has been found necessary to rent considerable warehouse space.

The educational campaign in the way of instructing the public as to the
prevention of forest fires was continued. Numerous fire signs were posted, and
in addition, quantities of pencils, calendars and rulers were sent out in quarters
where it was calculated that the best results would be obtained.

Locomotive Inspections.

One thousand and twelve locomotive inspections were made at an average
cost of $2.07 per inspection. Two hundred and twenty-one inspections showed
defects.

Forestry.

Particular attention is directed to the section of the Provincial Forester's
report dealing with problems of reforestation. Valuable work is being done at
tlie Provincial Forest Station in Norfolk County. About 40,000 trees were sent

14 EEPORT OF THE No. 3

out during the season to private planters. The work at the station has proceeded
under difficulties for the past few years owing to difficulty in securing reliable
seed. It is anticipated, that there should, be no great difficulty in placing this
work on a more satisfactory basis in the near future.

Tkee Diseases.

Dr. J. H. Faull continued, his iiivestigations, and. has submitted a very valu-
able report which will be found embodied in the report of the Provincial Forester.
A complete summary of the work of the Forestry Branch will be found in Appendix
40, page 105.

CROWN SURVEYS.

Instructions were given to perform tlie following surveys of Crown lands
during the year and the work was carried out as shown in the latter portion of
this report.

These surveys comprise : —

(1) Three hundred and thirty miles of meridian and base lines including

parts of the boundary lines between Rainy River, Kenora and Thunder
Bay Districts.

(2) Eight hundred and forty miles of township outlines in the Districts of

Thunder Bay, Algoma, Timiskaming and Sudbury.

(3) Subdivision into lots and concessions of the Township of Fowler and

parts of the Townships of Devon, Hanlan, Casgrain and Nansen.

(4) Traverse survey of lakes west of Lake Timagami in the Timagami

Forest Reserve, Districts of Nijsissing and Sudbury.

trict of Nipissing.

(7) Close traverse of shores and islands in Windy Lake, Townships of Dow-

ling and Cascaden, District of Sudbury, including soundings and the
fixing of special lines of reference for mining purposes.

Twenty-five survey parties were engaged on this work and most of the sur-
veyors report a very difficult and trying season's work due to labour and weather
conditions.

The reports received from the Inspector of Surveys show that the work in
general has been well performed.

MUNICIPAL SURVEY'S.

Petitions for Municipal surveys were received from the municipalities of the
Townships of Williamsburgh, McNab and ^ Southwold, for the survey of certain
original road allowances within the said townships, and these petitions were acted

1919-20 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS, FORESTS AND MINES. 15

upon as provided for under R.S.O. 1914^ Cap. 166, sections 13 and 14. In addi-
tion to the above the survey performed in the Township of Gouibourn on petition
of the municipality was confirmed.

Detailed description of the several surveys performed under instructions from
this Department will be found in Appendices 20 to 35, inclusive.

Colonization Roads.

On March 1st, 1919, the Colonization Roads Branch of the Public Works
Department was transferred to the Department of Lands, Forests and Mines. A
report as to the work of the Colonization Roads Branch will be found in Appendix
43, page 126.

Northern Development Branch.

The work of the Northern Development Branch was continued as in the past
under the direction of Mr. J. F. Whitson and Mr. C. H. Fullerton. The work
on the Saul t- Sudbury Trunk Road, together with the work on the roads on St.
Joseph's Island was placed under the direction of Mr. John L. Lang,, of Sault Ste.
Marie. It is expected that the Sault-Sudbury road will be completed during 1920.
Every endeavour is being made to keep existing portions of this road in a proper
state of repair. The report of the Northern Development Branch is found in
Appendix 43, page 163.

58 EEPOET OF THE No. 3

Appendix No. 20.
SuiivEY OF Certain Township Outlines in the Districts of Sudbury and

TiMISKAMING.

Toronto, October 31st, 1919.

Sir, — We have the honour to submit the following report on the survey of
certain township outlines in the Districts of Sudbiiry and Timiskaming, made
by us during the past summer, under instructions from your Department, dated
.15th April, 1919.

Upon receipt of the instructions, arrangements for the organization and
equipment of the necessary party were begun, and, on the 15th of July, a party
in charge of T. B. Speight, O.L.S., assisted by E. M. Anderson, O.L.S., was
assembled at Kukatush on the Canadian National Eailways. The following day
part of the supplies was taken from there some distance down the Ground Hog
Eiver. Great difficulty was found, however, in obtaining sufficient men of the
proper stamp for survey work, owing partly to the abundant opportunities for
employment at points along the railways, and partly, to the high prices recently
obtained for furs having rendered the Indians, who usually form a large proportion
of the party, less inclined to supplement the proceeds of the hunt in this way. It
was, therefore, the 18th of July before the survey was commenced, at the north-
east corner of the Township of Muskego. The point of commencement had been
reached the previous day by a good canoe route of about ten miles from the
railway crossing at Winter Spawning Lake, a few miles west of the Ground Hog
Eiver. We found the north-east corner of the Township of Muskego marked by
an iron post planted beside a wooden post, both of which were marked " IX M "
on the south side, and " Muskego " on the south-west side. From this point we
ran due east, astronomically, delimiting the south boundaries of the Townships
of Melrose and Frey. We intersected the west boundary of the Township of Keefer
at chainage seven miles and 3.07 chains from the south-west corner of Frey.
Wooden posts of the most durable material obtainable within reasonable distance
were planted at the end of every mile on eacli of the boundaries run, and were
marked on the west side with the distance from the south-west angle of the
township. In addition, iron posts, li/4 inches in diameter were planted at the
ends of the third and sixth miles in each case. Iron posts were also planted
at the south-east corners of the townships, and both wooden and iron posts marked
with the names of the adjoining townships.

From the south-east corner of Melrose, we ran eight miles and 73.92 chains
due north between the Townships of Melrose and Frey, to O.L.S. Niven's base
line of 1899. Wooden posts were planted at every mile, and iron posts at the
third and sixth miles. At the intersection of O.L.S. Niven's base line, a wooden
post and an iron post 1% inches in diameter, both marked " Melrose " on the
south-west, and " Frey " on the south-east, and " Eight miles and 73.92 chains "
on the south side, were planted.

We then proceeded west to the 45th mile of O.L.S. Niven's line, which we
found defined by an iron post and a wooden post marked " XLV M " on the
cast sides. We ran north, astronomically, from this point, three miles and 54.37
chains to the south boundary of the Indian Eeserve surveyed by O.L.S. J. S.
Dobie, in 1909.

1919-20 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS, FORESTS AND MINES. 59

]?eturning to the Ground Hog River, we proceeded down it to the north
boundary of the Township of Straehan. O.L. Surveyors, Sutcliffe and Neelands
had, earlier in the season, run this line from the north-west corner of the town-
ship, as far as the west bank of the Ground Hog River, and planted a post on
that bank at two miles and 62.69 chains. We continued the line east from this
point to chainage eight miles and 78.12 chains, where we planted iron and wooden
posts to mark the north-east corner of the township. From there we continued
east, astronomically, along the south boundary of the Township of Fortune, eight
miles and 66.35 chains to the west boundary of the Township of Cote.

From the north-east corner of the Township of Straehan, we ran south,
astronomically, one mile and 20.21 chains, to the north boundary of the Indian
Reserve, which boundary we intersected at a point 6.98 chains east of post No. IV
on that boundary. From the same corner we ran north, astronomically, nine
miles along the east boundary of the Township of Montcalm to the north-east
corner of that township.

It became evident at this time that it would be impossible to complete
the work described in your instructions this season, owing to the trouble we had
experienced and were experiencing in obtaining and holding men, so it was decided
not to attempt to complete the north boundary of Montcalm or the lines to the
north at this time, beyond doing what work was possible from our camp at this
corner. Accordingly, after running two miles to the north, and two miles to the
west, we proceeded to run the north boundary of the Township of Fortune to the
Township of Byers. The west boundary of Byers was reached at chainage eight
miles and 63.71 chains.

We returned to the railway via the Nat and Ground Hog Rivers, reaching
the steel on the 16th of September.

All east and west lines were run as chords of the parallels of latitude, passing
through the corners of the respective townships.

All lines were well opened up and properly blazed. Wherever possible,
cairns of stone were built about the posts planted, and bearing trees, in each
case, were carefully marked, with bearings and tlistances noted. Frequent astrono-
mic observations were taken on Polaris throughout the survey. The notes of a
number of these accompany the field notes.

General Features.

Practically all the area embraced by this survey lies in the valley of the
Ground Hog River, and its tributary the Nat River. Generally speaking the
country is rolling in the southern part, gradually becoming flatter to the north.
Along the south boundaries of Melrose and Frey, the line crossed a succession
of low to moderately abrupt sandy and gravelly ridges with a few outcrops of
granite rock. Between Melrose and Frey, and north of O.L.S. Niven's base line,
considerable stretches of flat land were crossed, varied in places by rock and gravel
ridges. Few lakes were encountered, nor were any streams of any size crossed
with the exception of the two rivers — the Ground Hog and the Nat. Large
sections of the townships were burnt, apparently about twenty-five to thirty
years ago, and more recent burns were crossed on the south boundary of Melrose,
and on the south and west boundaries of Fortune.

60 EEPOET OF THE No. 3

Soil.

No clay soil was found on the south boundaries of Melrose and Frey, but
on the boundary between Melrose and Frey considerable stretches were crossed.
This boundary lies between the Ground Hog and Nat Elvers, and the ground
was, generally speaking, flat and wet, with clay and sand sub-soil alternating.
The section north of O.L.S. Niven's base line showed about 30 per cent, clay
soil, most of it light and intersected by sandy ridges. Much of the land was
swampy, but there was comparatively little muskeg, the only large muskeg crossed
being at the south-east corner of Poulett.

Timber.

Much of this area has been burnt over within the last twenty-fiye or thirty
years, but some good stands of timber were noted. The best timber seen was
along the south boundary of Melrose on both sides of the Nat Eiver, where there
is a considerable area of exceptionally fine Banksian pine. In this area there
are also some heavy stands of spruce of pulpwood size. Along the boundary
between Melrose and Frey, the timber, mostly spruce, is generally light, with
much balsam and undergrowth. Along the south boundary of Strachan; spruce,
poplar, and birch, with occasional groves of Banksian pine, were found, and
similar country was encountered as far as mile six of the south boundary of
Fortune. Between miles six and seven there are some gravel ridges, which are
heavily timbered with Banksian pine, birch, poplar, and scattered Norway pine.
Bere was the only place we found Norway pine, and at no place did the lines
pass through stands of white pine. From mile seven eastward the timber has been
burnt off leaving sand hills almost bare except for small groves of spruce and
cedar.

Between Fortune and Parke there is a fair stand of spruce and Banksian
pine, poplar, and birch, and the timber along the north boundary of Fortune is
of the same general character.

Wateb.

The Ground Hog Eiver supplies a good canoe route from the railway as far
north as the north limit of the Indian Eeserve. Several rapids and a fall of
about fifteen feet are capable of supplying considerable power. From near the
north limit of the. Indian Eeserve to well below the crossing of the north bouiulavy
of Strachan lie what are known as the Six Mile Eapids, practically continuous
swift water.

The Nat Eiver between the south boundary of Melrose and the Indian
Reserve, is a sluggish stream with, generally speaking, low marshy banks. Bromley
Lake and a large marsh to the south form considerable storage basins. From
the Indian Eeserve north, there are several rapids and small falls, but the river
forms an excellent canoe route to the south boundary of the township of Aitken.
The Nat may be reached from the Ground Hog Eiver by several portages, of
which the best is about five miles south of the south limit of Melrose.

Minerals.

The rocks seen were mostly granite, and the area does not look promising
from a mining standpoint.

Game.

Moose were numerous, and signs of bear and wolves were noted at Yarious
times. Beaver, too, were present in all streams. Pike and pickerel were plentiful
in the Nat River, and sturgeon were found in the Ground Hog.

Survey of Certain Township Outlines in the District of Algoma.

North Bay, November 19th, 1919.

Sir, — In accordance with instructions from your Department dated April
15th, 1919, we have surveyed certain township outlines in the District of Algoma,
and beg to report thereon as follows: —

Commencing our survey at the north-east corner of the Township of Coderre
on June 1st, we ran north astronomically nine miles between the Townships of
Mons and Champlain ; thence west astronomically to O.L.S. Speight's meridian
line of 1910. Returning to our meridian, we proceeded across country to O.L.S.
Speight's line of 1909, which had been run two miles between the Townships of
Mons and Radisson. We produced this line west astronomically to intersect our
meridian line. We then continued our meridian line north astronomically between
the Townships of Ericson and Radisson and between Cromlech and Usnac,
intersecting O.L.S. Speight's base line of 1910, forming the north boundary
of Cromlech. From this point we ran the line between the Townships of
ITsnac and Opazatika east astronomically, returning to our meridian we ran
north astronomically between the Townships of Abbott and Opazatika. Return-
ing to the south-west angle of Usnac, we ran west astronomically to the
Missinaibi River between the Townships of Ericson and Cromlech and east astron-
omically between the Townships of Usnac and Radisson to intersect O.L.S.
Speight's meridian of 1909 forming the east boundary of Radisson; thence we
ran north astronomically between the Townships of Usnac and Oscar and between
Opazatika and Bourinot intersecting O.L.S. MacRostie's lines forming the north
iiiui south boundaries of the township of Oscar and posting these intersections,
returning via Opazatika Lake and portage to the Missinaibi River we picked up
our line between Ericson and Cromlech and continued it west astronomically to
O.Ti.S. Speight's meridian of 1910, thus completing the survey.

62 REPORT OP THE No. 3

A large portion, probably 40 per cent, of the eastern portion of the lands
traversed by the survey, i.e., the Townships of Mons, Radisson, Usnac and Opaza-
tika and the eastern part of the Townships of Champlain, Ericson, Cromlech and
Abbott has been burned over within the last fifteen or twenty years and is covered
with a very thick growth of small poplar and birch or spruce and jack pine and
alder brush. With regard to the timber the balance of the land may be divided
into two classes, i.e., the high land and the low land. The former being generally
heavily timbered with white spruce, ranging from 5 in. to 24 in., birch, 5 in. to
16 in., and balsam, 2 in. to 16 in., with an occasional ridge of jack pine, chiefly
with black spruce 4 in. to 14 in., and in some places cedar 5 in. to 20' in.

The lines dividing the Townships of Ericson, Champlain, Mons and Radisson
indicate mostly sandy land with some areas of good clay land and occasionally
a rock ridge. Generally speaking, the townships lying to the north of these
are of good clay land, but slightly broken with rock ridges and swamps. Most
of the swamps, however, could be drained and are of very fertile soil having from
18 in. to 30 in. of moss and black muck with a clay subsoil. Judging by the
numerous varieties of wild fruits which grow abundantly in this country, it ivS
very suitable for agricultural purposes.

No economic minerals were met with. The country rock is generally of a
coarse-grained granite of the Laurentian Series, containing numerous veins of
quartz and dykes of trap.

There are no water powers of any importance in the territory embraced bv
this survey, though the Missinaibi River throughout, has a very considerable fall.

Accompanying this report are the usual return of field notes, etc., together
with mounted plan and timber plan.

All of which is respectfully submitted.

We have the honour to be. Sir,

Your obedient servants,

Survey of Certain Township Outlines in the District or Timiskaming.

Pembroke, December 12th, 1919.

SiR^ — I have the honour to submit the following report on the survey of
certain township outlines in the District of Timiskaming made by me under
instructions from your Department, dated April 15th, 1919.

On July 2nd, I left Pembroke with my party and proceeded via C. N. Railway
and T. & N. 0. Railway to Cochrane, thence via C. N. Railway to Low Bush
Station where I arrived on the 5th about eleven o'clock and proceeded up Low

1919-20 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS, FOEESTS AND MINES. 63

Bush Eiver that afternoon and camped at the north boundary of Bowyer Town-
ship, about a mile and a quarter east of north-west corner of that township, that
being the starting point of my first meridian, the survey of which was commenced
on the morning of the 6th, and then run north a distance of fifteen miles in
accordance with your instructions. At the sixth mile post I ran west along the
north boundary of Findlay Township a distance of six miles, but owing to the
north-east corner of the Township of Sweatman coming in open muskeg which
has been frequently burned over, I was not able to locate it, and after searching
for half a day, returned to the north-east corner of Findlay and ran east along
north boundary of Henley Township. I then went down to the corner of Bowyer
and Purvis Townships and ran north between Henley and Pliny intersecting my
base line at five miles and seventy-eight chains and twenty-six links. I then
continued east along north boundary of Pliny Township intersecting the west
boundary of Steele Township one chain, thirty-seven and seven-tenth links south
.of its north-west corner.

I then packed my outfit across the north boundary to the north-east corner
of the Township of Steele and ran the north boundary of the Township of Scapa,
a distance of six miles, then went south to north-east corner of Bonis Township
and ran the east boundary of Scapa north, intersecting my base line at five mile,
seventy-eight chains and ten links, I then continued my base line, and established
the corner of Abbotsford and Adair Townships at a distance of nine miles from
north-east corner of Steele, from here I ran the line forming boundary between
Abbotsford and Adair Townships north a distance of nine miles, and returning
south to my base line I continued east intersecting the Quebec boundary at a
point thirty-six chains and eighteen links north of the one hundred and third
mile post. I ran the meridian forming west boundary of Abbotsford Township
north from the north-east corner of Steele, a distance of nine miles and then
turned east along north boundary of Abbotsford and at chainage eight miles plus
seventy-nine chains and five links, I intersected the east boundary at seventy-nine
diains and three links north of the eight-mile post. I then continued along
north boundary of Adair Township intersecting the Quebec boundary at a point
thirty-six chains and forty-five links north of mile post one hundred and twelve,
I then packed down the Interprovincial boundary to my southerly base line
which I followed west to the old portage on which I went south to the Okikodasik
liiver where I had sent my canoes. We came down this river to La Peine Station
on the Canadian National Railway.

Meridian lines were all run north astronomically and base lines east or west
on chords of latitude. Wooden posts of the most durable material available,
properly marked, were firmly planted at intervals of one mile with iron posts
alongside, where shown on plan and in field notes, two bearing trees for each
post were taken where available and stones were placed alongside posts when they
were procurable within a reasonable distance.

All lines were well opened and properly blazed. Frequent observations for
azimuth were taken, a number of which are recorded in the field notes, but owing
to the magnetic needle on my transit being out of order, I have not obtained
the magnetic variation.

The area embraced by this survey has a total depth of eighteen miles north
and south and a })readth of forty and one-half miles east and west.

64 REPORT OF THE No. 3

Soil.

Along the base and meridian lines run by me forming boundaries of Findlay,
Henley and Pliny Townships, the soil is practically all clay with comparatively
small swampy areas covered by deep moss, and the land is suitable for agricul-
tural purposes, this also holds true with reference to my first meridian for a
distance of about four miles north of my first base line. The remainder of this
meridian is not good land, and on the northerly two miles the soil is mostly
sandy with occasional granite outcrops.

Along the base and meridian lines forming boundaries of Scapa, Abbotsford
and Adair Townships I do not consider the land suitable for agricultural purposes,
about fifty per cent, being sandy soil and of the balance a considerable percentage
is swampy.

Timber.

The timber throughout is principally spruce from four to eight inches in
diameter with scattered areas of spruce, jack pine and poplar from' six to ten
inches in diameter, a fairly dense growth of underbrush covers the country
generally.

A small area of Jack pine up to fifteen inches in diameter is situated in
the south-west corner of Abbotsford Township.

Old brule was found on the sixth mile of the north boundary of Findlay
Township, on the second, third and fourth miles of the west boundary of Abbots-
ford Township and along the easterly three miles of the south boundary of
Adair Township.

Fresh brule of 1919 origin was encountered on northerly thirty chains of
my first meridian, the southerly limit of this fire apparently extended in a southr
easterly direction for a distance of about two miles, that being as far as we
could see from the high ground just west of the north end of this meridian. I
can give no estimate of the distance it extended to the west. Fire also ran through
the south-east corner of Adair Township this season, crossing south boundary
just east of five mile post and extends southwesterly about two miles, Avhile in a
northeasterly direction it extended to Joe Lake, crossing Interprovincial boundary
about mileage one hundred and seven.

On August 22nd, we saw smoke rising about three miles to the north of
fifth mile post on north boundary of Adair Township.

Minerals.

No indications of economic minerals were noted.

Streams and Lakes.

Low Bush River is navigable by canoes from station of that name on Canadian
National Railway to where it crosses north boundary of Findlay Township, there
being three short portages in Boyer Township and one in Henley. Circle River
is also navigable by canoes from Low Bush Station, the first portage being about
a half mile south of north boundary of Pliny Township and I understand there
is a long portage commencing about thirty chains north of this boundary. I
understand that Mud River which runs along west boundary of Abbotsford is
occasionally used as a canoe route but we did not use canoes there.

1919-20 DEPAETMENT OF LANDS, FOEESTS AND MINES. 65

Patten or Woman Eiver flowing through Township of Adair is a stream
of considerable size, has its source in Province of .Quebec and flows through Joe
Lake near south-east corner of Adair Township, thence in a north-westerly direc-
tion crossing the north boundary of that township about one mile east of the
north-west corner, where it is between three and four chains wide, but we did
not use it as a canoe route. From Joe Lake there are two portages south to the
Okikodasik Eiver. The one crossing the south boundary of Adair near the five
mile post is the shorter and is used by the Indians in high water, this portage
is very wet and swampy; the other is the older and longer portage and crosses
a high granite ridge and strikes the river about two miles lower down. The
Okikodasik Eiver is navigable by canoes from both of these portages to La Eeine
Station on the Canadian National Eailway, there being five or six portages
varying from five chains to thirty-five chains in length.

There are no water powers capable of development.

Game.

Game was very scarce, only a few moose being seen during the season, and
only occasionally evidence of beaver noticed.

Generally speaking, the Townships of Findlay, Henley and Pliny appear
to be suitable for agricultural purposes, with a fair amount of timber suitable
for pulpwood. I do not consider the Townships of Scapa, Abbotsford or Adair
suitable for agricultural purposes, but there is considerable timber of pulpwood
size throughout these townships, but the streams practically all flow north.

Accompanying this report are a plan and field notes of the entire survey, with
accounts in triplicate, and the customary affidavits.

TUAVERSE OF THE SHORES OF CHARLESTON AND EeD HoRSE LaKES AND OF THE

Islands Therein.

Smith's Falls, November 10th, 1919.

Sir, — In accordance with your instructions dated the 8th day of May, 1919,
to make a traverse of the shores of Charleston Lake and Eed Horse Lake and
of the islands in each, I have the honour to transmit herewith my report, plan
on linen on a scale of 20 chains to the inch, field notes and affidavits, etc., in
<'onnection therewith.

5 F.M.

66 EEPOET OF THE No. 3

After a few preliminaries, I commenced my survey of the traverse of tlu
shore of Charleston Lake on the 3rd day of June, from an iron pin planted on
Slack's Point, near the intersection of the 11th concession line with the shore.
.1 ran easterly and southerly from this point to the outlet reach, and then came
back and continued the traverse westerly and southerly to this same reach.

On the opposite shore from the iron pin at the outlet four feet above, which
marks the height to which the Gananoque Water Power Company may hold the
water in the lake, I established a bench mark, a cross in the rock, Station 123
of my traverse, which is seven feet and three inches above the iron pin.

The Power Company are entitled to keep the water four feet above the
iron pin.

The astronomic bearing and distance of this bench mark from the iron
pin is north 57 degrees 49 minutes east 73 feet.

On August 19th, I ran a line of levels from the shore of Donaldson's Bay
in Charleston Lake, to the easterly shore of Eed Horse Lake, following along the
portage, and found the elevation of the water surface in Eed Horse Lake to be
3. 69 feet lower than the surface of the water in Charleston Lake.

1 fixed a bench mark on a maple tree near the shore of Eed Horse Lake, as
shown by the notes, and also one on the rock surface, Station H, eight feet
westerly therefrom.

As shown by the attached index there are 133 islands in Charleston Lake
and ten islands in Bed Horse Lake.

Most of the desirable islands in both lakes appear to be claimed by some
person or other. The information furnished me on the ground was to the effect
that Mr. Joe Banta, a wealthy American, owns several islands including Sheep
Island, on which he has his summer home. I was unable to locate Sheep Island
on the plan furnished me by the Surveys Branch, but concluded that the small
one directly south of Orange Island must be intended for it. This is probably
the most valuable island in the lake from the viewpoint of location, trees and
timber, and general appearance. It was formerly the property of the late Walter
Beatty, O.L.S. Mr. W. Parish, of Athens, is also the owner of several islands. He
lias his summer home 'on Little Bluff. Eabbit Island is partly cleared and
cultivated, and the remainder is covered with second growth pines and other
small timber. William Crozer appears to have squatted upon this island some
years ago, cleared up part of the island, built a house and barns upon it, cultivated
the cleared portion, and raised his family there.

I have divided the lower or southerly end of what was known as Democrat
Island into two new numbered islands, viz., 11 and 12.

There was a separation by water from the mainland at the places shown
on the plan to justify making separate islands of these two. J. Mulvenna, of
Athens, has a cottage on the southerly end of No. 11.

I cannot find any islands in the lake to correspond with what is marked
on the Department's plan as " Hobson's Choice." There are only five small
islands in this locality; three of these, viz., Grape and Twin Islands are owned
by Norman Dowsley, and "Heart's Delight " and "Happy Thought" by John
E. Wemple. Bear Island near these is owned by E. Donovan, M.P.P.

As will be noticed by the plan the sideline between Lots 15 and 16 inter-
sects the 10th Concession on the westerly shore of the lake.

I have renewed the high water mark cut on the rocky shore between Charleston
and the Townline Eoad Allowance between Escott and Lansdowne, by Willi?
Chipman, C.E., some years ago.

1919-20 DEPAETMENT OP LANDS, FORESTS AND MINES. 67

I placed a water gauge on the wharf on Bertha Island at the commencement
of my work, and from then, that is about the first of June until the 4th of
September, the water had fallen by 2i/^ feet.

I have shown the principal shoals by a small cross for each on the plan.

1 am also enclosing with my field notes and report, my diary, as directed
in your instructions.

SuiivEY OF Windy Lake, in the Townships of Dowling and Cascaden,

District of Sudbury.

North Bay, May 27th, 1919.

Sir, — The survey of Windy Lake in the Townships of Dowling and Cascaden,
performed under instructions from your Department of February 21st last, has
been finished and we are sending you herewith our plan of the same and our
report.

Governed by those instructions we ran a close inshore traverse of the lake,
carrying continuous azimuth and station to station chainage.

The original survey lines were picked up at their shore intersections and
marked at these points by iron posts, on which posts were carved the distinguish-
ing lot and concession numbers. Certain other prominent points on the • shore
line were also marked by iron posts and these posts were consecutively marked
"LP.l," ''I.P.2," etc.

No trace of the original line between Lots 2 and 3, Concession IV, Cascaden,
could be found except on Green Island and at the mainland immediately north
and south of it.

Islands were also tied into the traverse, and on each island a squared tree
or stump was likewise marked " P.P." with a designating number.

The contact line between the Laurentian and the nickle eruptive series was
delineated across the ice and for a distance of 10 chains on each side thereof
soundings were taken at five chain intervals, while throughout the rest of the
lake similar soundings were taken at ten chain intervals, east and west, by twenty
chains north and south.

No traverse was made of the C.P.P. track, but a copy was made of the
revised plan from the company's own survey and this is included in our returns.
The track was tied in to our traverse at one point.

The level of the lake as at March 27th, 1919, stood at 1.10G.7 feet above
mean sea level, deduced from C.P.P. base of rail at Windy Lake Station, there

68 REPORT OF THE No. 3

being no other available bench, mark from their records. This base of rail eleva-
tion 1,233-0 is recorded in " Canadian Altitudes " last edition.

A profile of the soundings is also included showing the depths of these
souiidings except those along the contact line, and indicated from vk^est to east
by consecutive numbers and each line is indicated alphabetically from north
to south.

An imaginary base line was run from point number 3 on the traverse south
astronomically and the numbers are indicated by a plus sign if to the east of
that line and by a minus sign if to the west.

Field notes are included showing the length and azimuth of each course, the
stations being numbered consecutively from 1 up. Shore offsets are shown together
^yit^l ties to all the iron reference points.

We trust all returns may be found in order.

Survey of Lower and Middle Shebandowan Lakes.

Port Arthur, March 22nd, 1919.

Sir, — I beg to report as follows on the survey of Lower and Middle She-
bandowan Lake undertaken in accordance with your instructions of September,
1917, for the purpose of ascertaining the area of the lake, the contour of the
shore line and islands therein.

As previously reported the very early advent of winter and unusually stormy
and wet weather rendered it impossible for me to continue the field work without
serious loss and impairment of efficiency. Micrometer work was consequently
abandoned, as approved by your Department, and survey resumed with stadia
measurements in the following spring on the ice.

As you will notice by the field notes every detail in the shore line has been
carefully outlined — the number of measurements being in excess of the actual
requirement of the instructions. The chief difficulty lay in tracing out the lines
and posts of the old Mining Location Surveys, an especially difficult matter when
the snow is deep. Many could not be found. Their proper position on the map
can, however, be readily approximated by the interaccordance of the two outline
surveys. Hereafter an explorer or prospector will find no trouble, by means of
this map, in locating his find so that the area intended will be distinctly evident
and the work of the Department likewise greatly lightened. Delay in making
out the more than usually intricate set of field notes and plan occurred by my

1919-20 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS, FOEESTS AND MINES. 69

appointment as Registrar for this District under the " Canada Registration " Act,
also as supervisor for the subsequent " Resources Committee " work. The urgency
of " winning the war " tempted me to undertake these responsibilities. The
loyalty of this District becomes conspicuous when I state that, with the exception
of only three specially avidious workers, the numerous deputies and other officials
volunteered their services free of cost. Another unfortunate delay was caused by
the accidental omission by one of my assistants to record one of the larger (5
chain) stadia rod divisions, causing a break in the survey, which was not found
out and corrected until much time and labour had been expended.

I discovered amongst the effects of the late S. J. Dawson, C.E., of Dawson
Route fame — a large (800 foot to an inch) plan of Shebandowan Lake, being a
trigonometrical survey made by the then (1869) Department of Public Works
of Canada. This plan is very unsatisfactory and highly erroneous in many places
but the long distance trig, measurements afford a good check on the stadia and
micrometer survey. The extremes in sixteen miles apparently coincide very closely
with my plotting, as you will observe on comparing the reduction to 20 chains
to an inch, which I made and forwarded with my original plan — the original is
available if desired.

As over sixty-two (62) islands, many very small, had to be surveyed and
tie lines run to them, the work occupied more time, both in the field and office
than was anticipated.

The total mileage of shore line of main land was: —

Mainland 68.30 miles

Islands (shoreline only) 14,17 "

Total 82.47 "

The results of observations and stadia and micrometer comparisons are
shown at various intervals in the field notes. There is a small dam at the outlet
of Shebandowan Lake to assist in lumbering operations. Its height is necessarily
limited — a further increase would endanger the National (C,N,0,R.) Railway
roadbed besides affecting mining and summer resort properties. In future patents
it might possibly be well to guard against any claims which might arise from a
f^light increase in level for hydro-electric storage purposes,

Sdkvey op Base and Meridian Lines in the Distkiot of Thunder Bay,

Fort William, Ont._, January 23rd, 1919.

Sir, — I have the honour to submit the followmg report on the survey of
base and meridian lines in the District of Thunder Bay, carried out under your
instructions dated the 14th of June, 1918.

Before the receipt of my instructions I was notified that this was to be a
cruising proposition as well as a survey, and was instructed to find a cruiser.
I spent at least two weeks endeavouring to secure a satisfactory man for the
work. I hired two men for this purpose, but both cancelled the arrangements
made, one two days before the date set for leaving, after shipping arrangements
and connections for the men had been made. In this awkward situation I was
fortunate in engaging at the last moment so desirable a man as Mr. Ben Howson
for the work.

Immediately after receipt of my instructions I proceeded to Whitefish Lake
with a small party, located my starting point, took an observation for azimuth
and carried the line across Whitefish Lake. It will be noted that the line strikes
at the mouth of Sucker Creek, which flows in from the west, and not on the
headland as shown on the compiled plan accompanying the instructions. Several
of the lines strike points considerably different and at different distances from
those shown on this plan, particularly on the boundary waters.

Eeturning to the city I completed the organization and equipment of my
party, and proceeding once more to Whitefish, had my party and outfit taken
down the lake to a point convenient to Sucker Creek. From this point the line
was carried south in accordance with the instructions.

The country was so mountainous, however, that it was impossible to move
the whole outfit along the line, particularly with the men available, and I made
arrangements to have the outfit and party moved back up the lake to the Old
Pigeon River Lumber Company's tote road. A raft was built and horses brought
across the lake, and a waggon hauled through the water close to shore from a
point some two or three miles above the road. The whole party was then set to
brushing out the road, laying corduroy, re-building bridges, etc., and the outfit
was hauled to old Pigeon Eiver Company's Camp 3, where we camped for some
days.

The line work was then proceeded with according to instructions, but through-
out the first half of the survey the country was so rough that nearly all moving
was done along the old trails which I opened up, in many instances at considerable
distances from the work, involving long walks and lost time and slow progress.

Labour conditions were such, both as to the securing of men and getting
them to camrp — owing to the phenomenal wages then being paid in Fort William
on war work being done on a percentage basis, and which eventually proved a
disturbing factor in labour conditions from" coast to coast — and the keeping up
of camp supplies in the rough country with the shortage of men who could pack
anything was becoming such a seriou.; problem, that I engaged the services of
Mr. John Shaw, O.L.S., to assist me in the work, when about half was completed.

From this time I devoted myself more particularly to securing bushmen and
tlie forwarding of supplies, but even so, only for a very short time were there

1919-20 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS, FORESTS AND MINES. 71

enough men available to run double party.

The weather throughout was exceptionally fine, and was possibly responsible
for the comparative absence of fly pests. On the other hand, in a rocky, hilly
country, continued dry weather made the water problem serious, and it became
necessary to procure closed vessels to carry water along the line for use during
the day and at meal time.

Before commencing the work the chainmen were well posted in their work,
but frequent change of the front chainman after the original man gave out
through exhaustion made constant watchfulness and checking necessary.

The lines will be found to be well opened, well blazed, and with large well
marked posts planted throughout, and bearing-trees well chosen and marked
where such were at all available.

All points required by the instructions were marked by iron posts, except
at Mountain Lake. A raft broke up on the Arrow River, and this post with other
things was lost. At this point, however, I personally constructed a stone cairn
almost as high as the post, and in a well protected position.

The traverse of the part of the south shore of Whitefish Lake was left by
arrangement to be done on the ice. An attempt was made to carry out this work
during the week before Christmas, but owing to the peculiar winter weather,
including heavy rain, this had to be abandoned, and this work was only recently
completed.

Watch was kept for signs of old survey lines throughout the progress of the
work, but at only one point were lines and post found. Connection was made,
however, at the termination of all lines where such existed with international
or township boundaries.

Observations for azimuth were taken at least once on each line. Observations
on tlie sun for time were frequently taken.

Soil.

All lands of an agricultural nature are shown on the plan of survey coloured
brown. These areas are carefully plotted not only from the field notes of survey,
but from the observations made by the cruiser. The greater part of the lands
passed through or cruised are totally unfit for agriculture, being mostly rock,
sometimes bare, but usually with a shallow covering of leafy loam.

The agricultural land referred to consists mostly of clay, white to light
brown in colour, and clay loam. Except in some wet areas there is not heavy
moss. As the hills are approached stones and boulders are met in increasing
quantities. Frequently in the larger clay area patches were seen several acres in
extent where fires had removed most of the timber, and very little clearing was
necessary before ploughing could be done.

In some of these patches and along the old tote roads clover and timothy
grew spendidly.

Minerals.

The rpck throughout the greater part of this country is granite, hornblendic
rocks being found in the south, while east of South Fowl Lake there is consider-
able showing of low grade iron. The variation of the compass going round the
sharp point on the south shore of Whitefish Lake near its east end, differences
of 25 deg. being noted in going half a mile round the point, would indicate
bodies of iron ore.

72 - - EEPOET OF THE No. 3

TiMBEB.

This whole country has been lumbered over at a comparatively recent date.
Nearly all of it shows signs of having been burnt over at some period. There
is practically no valuable timber apart from what is now being taken out im-
mediately south of Whitefish Lake. There are odd clumps of trees to be met
with, at one or two points considerable parcels of white pine, as on the range
of hills south of the first mile of the line running west to South Fowl Lake, but
these are usually so situated as to make their removal a losing proposition, though
ill the future, settlers may find it worth while to ^iut and remove for their
own use.

The country is covered principally by small birch and poplar. On the first
meridian immediately south of the Arrow Eiver is a small area of spruce thai
would make pulpwood were it more accessible and of a larger area.

Game.

There was seen but little trace of the small fur-bearing animals, mink,
marten,, etc., but bears are very plentiful, as are moose ; there were some red
deer seen. Beaver are the principal occupants of the region, in fact, not a member
of the party had seen them so plentiful elsewhere. At nearly every point where
there was enough water available beaver dams were to be seen; at times several,
one above the other, on the same stream. There are beaver houses along the Arrow
Eiver. In fact, the one thing the westerly part of the territory is suitable for
is a game preserve.

There are numerous trails throughout the country covered, opened up origin-
ally by the various lumber companies who have operated here. Most of these
have grown up considerably with brush, and are obstructed by fallen logs, but
should it be decided to lay out the agricultural area for settlement a little atten-
tion would make these available for the first needs of the settler, the South Fowl
Lake Eoad and the road north of the Arrow Eiver as far as the dam in particular,
requiring little to make them at least travelable; in fact, they were both travelled
this last summer, but would be better for some attention in the wet spots.

The " Hospital " bridge, over which the former road crosses the Arrow
Eiver, is still in fair condition, and well worth taking care of.

1 am forwarding herewith field notes of survey and lake traverse, plan of
survey, plans of traverses, timber plan, affidavits, etc., and trust that everything
upon inspection will be found satisfactory.

All of which is respectfully submitted.

I have the honour to be, Sir

Appendix No. 27.
Survey of a Meridian Line in the District of Kenora.

Little Current, Ont., October 1st, 1919.

Sir, — I have the honour to submit to you the following report on the survey
of a meridian line in the District of Kenora under instructions from your Depart-
ment dated Toronto, April 15th, 1919.

I commenced the work on the 12th of June at the iron posts at the north-
west angle of the Township of Rowell, as directed, with a party of 18, composed
of 9 from this vicinity and 9 from the Lac Seul country. My intention was
to add to the party, Indians, as guides and canoemen, after crossing Lac Seul,
and for which I had arranged with the Hudson's Bay Co.

Owing to the Winnipeg strike which interrupted seriously the transportation
of supplies on the Canadian Government Railways, I was unable to proceed
earlier with the work. -

The line was continued to the north shore of Lac Seul, a distance of 33 miles
and 5 chains, which point was reached about the 10th of July. Here the Indian
packers from the Lac Seul country refused to proceed any further — three of them
had deserted some miles back — and of the canoemen and guides arranged for only
three arrived. They also intimated that they could remain only a few weeks.
An effort was then made to obtain more help at the Lac Seul and Pine Ridge
posts, but hardly any good men appeared to be available. Finding, therefore,
that I would probably not be able to proceed much farther this season, and
being much broken in health, I concluded to discontinue the work for the time.

At the end of each mile a wooden post 6 inches square, of the most durable
wood convenient was planted and marked on the south side the number of miles,
as 1 M., etc., from the initial point. In addition to this at the end of every
third mile an iron post li/4 inches in diameter was planted beside the wooden
one and similarly marked. Where a mile came in a lake a post was planted on
the nearest shore and the miles and chains marked on it. Two bearing trees
were also marked at every post, all of which was duly entered in the field notes.

The line was well blazed in the usual way — a blaze on the side of the tree
facing the line and on the north and south sides of it.

Frequent observations of Polaris were made to check the bearing of the line
which was projected north astronomically.

The first mile is mostly large timber, the swamp areas containing m*uch black
spruce and some cedar, and the higher ground jack pine, poplar and balsam.

From the 2nd to the 16th miles the country is principally brule, on the
high land, with a growth of jack pine, birch, spruce, balsam and poplar about
3 inches in diameter. In the lower tracts which escaped the fire there is consider-
able black spruce up to 12 inches in diameter. Between Ord and Miller Lakes,
in the 6th mile, there is big green timber. From the 16th mile to the end of
the work it is mostly big timber of the same kind and quality. In many places
there is some good cedar.

The entire country traversed appears to be red granite and destitute of
mineral.

Rocky ridges with sand, boulders and gravel interlying are the main features
up to the 17th mile where the south cove of Lac Seul was intersected. From

6 F.M.

74 REPORT OF THE No. 3

the 17th mile to the end of the line there is cpnsiderable clay land and probably
a sufficient area of it might be found fit for farming settlements.

I enjoined on every member of my party the necessity of great care being
exercised in order to prevent fire.

Moose and deer abound, also the smaller game, and fish.

I have the honour to be. Sir

Your obedient servant,

Appendix No. 28.

Survey of the Black Stuegeon River Pulp and Timber Limit, in the
District of Thunder Bay.

Port Arthur, Ont., December 9th, 1919.

Sir, — "We beg to report that in accordance with your instructions dated
June 21st, 1918, we have completed the survey of the south boundary, west
boundary and part of the north boundary of the Black Sturgeon River Pulp
and Timber Limit.

This survey was commenced from the north-west angle of the Township of
Hele, where an iron post 1% in. in diameter and a cedar post were planted by
M, E. Crouch, O.L.S., in 1916. From this point the south boundary was run
west astronomically a distance of thirty miles, fifty-one chains and twenty-one
links to the south-west angle of the limit. This line was run in chords of six
miles, with reference to a meridian through their central points, the deflections
being made at the 7th, 13th, 19th and 25th miles. The west boundary was run
north astronomically, from the south-west angle, a distance of twenty-eight miles
to the north-west angle of the limit. From the north-west angle the north boundary
was run east astronomically a distance of twenty-one miles, eleven chains and forty
links to intersect the high water line of Mclntyre Bay of Lake Nipigon. This
boundary was run in chords of six miles with reference to a meridian through
their central points, the deflections being made at the 6th, 12th, and 18th miles.
A careful stadia traverse was made of the shore line of Mclntyre Bay from the
point where our line intersected it to the west boundary of the Township of Innes.
Frequent astronomical observations were taken to verify the accuracy of the
direction of the line.

Wooden posts were planted according to instructions, the first post on the
south boundary being planted at chainage fifty-one chains and twenty-one links
and this chainage was marked on the post. Thereafter posts were planted at
intervals of one mile, the next post being marked " 2M " and so on to the 31

1919-20 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS, FORESTS AND MINES. 75

mile post. The posts on the west boundary were marked from 1 to 28 from
.son til to north and on the north boundary from 1 to 21 from west to east, the
liiial post being marked " 21M 10' chains " and being planted at the chainage.
Iron posts li/4 in. in diameter were planted at intervals of three miles from east
to west on the south boundary, from south to north on the west boundary and
from west to east on the north boundary. Iron posts 1% in. in diameter were
planted at the south-west and north-west angles of the limit and a chainage
21M 10 chains on the north boundary. These posts were all marked with the
mileage at which they were planted.

The ends of the 21st and 29th miles on the south boundary and the 13th
on the west boundary came in places where it was impossible to plant posts. The
first two being in lakes, the posts were planted on the nearest shores. In the third
instance the mile point came on top of a large boulder and the post was moved
forward. These posts were marked with the chainage at which they were planted.

Survey Lines.

The only line established by an Ontario Land Surveyor encountered was a
meridian run by A. H. Macdougall, in 1903. This was intersected by our south
boundary at chainage 6M 51.805 and the distance to the nearest mile post was
ten chains and thirteen links to the south, the post being marked " XIV M.'"'
This line was also found at its intersection with Mclntyre Bay, or the closing
point of our survey.

Other lines found were numerous trial lines surveyed by the Canadian Pacific
Railway Company, about eight years ago, in an endeavour to locate suitable
grades for a railway from Nipigon to Savanne. The direction of these lines
was not noted but the chainage of those intersecting our lines are indicated in
the field notes.

Topography.

The region in the vicinity of the Black Sturgeon River is very rough, the
river valley being about four hundred feet deep with summits from twenty chains
to three miles inland. For two miles after crossing Sucker Creek the land is.
fairly level and from here west to the Spruce River is a very rough broken
'^ountry with hills from fifty to three hundred feet high. The land along the
west boundary is not rough but has a continual slope to the north. There Avould
be a drop of about six hundred feet in this line. On the north boundary from
the Poshkokagan River to the north-west corner of the limit there is a slope to
the east. East of the Poshkokagan River to the portage from Lake Nipigon to
Black Sturgeon Lake is fairly level and from the portage east to the twenty
mile post is a high rocky country the slope being to the south. East of the
twenty mile post is nearly level.

Soil.

On the south boundary the best soil found was from about the 3rd mile
post to the 6th mile post. This graded from sandy loam at the cast to a red
clay loam on the west. The subsoil is clay. West of here to the Spruce River
the country was nearly all rocky and the soil either light or very stony. West
of the river good land was again found. This area extended from the 25th
mile to the 28th and is nearly all a sandy loam. On the west boundary good

76 EEPOET OF THE No. 3

soil was found along the greater part of the line. The best areas are from the
corner to the 10th mile post and from the 17th mile to the north-west corner
and of these areas the first mentioned is probably the better since in the latter
there is a considerable area of swamp land. Between the 10th and 17th miles
the soil, though good in places is mostly rocky. On the north boundary good
land was found from the north-west corner to the eleventh mile and east of
this to the 20th mile is mostly all rocky. The remaining part is fairly good
though rather stony.

EocK Formation.

The predominant formation is diabase. Intrusions of the red stones of the
Nipigon Formation were observed in places. Banded granite was found in the
hills east of the Spruce Eiver. No minerals of economic value were found.

Timber.

The country within the limit is nearly all well timbered, the only burned
over area observed being between the 11th and 15th miles on the north boundary.
This was burned in 1917 and nearly all the timber was destroyed. A fire of
considerable extent has passed over portions of the limit about forty years ago.
The second growth timber on these portions extend from the 19th mile to the
26th mile on the south boundary, from the 11th mile to the 21st mile on the
west boundary (areas of large timber intruding in places here), and from the
10th mile to the end of the line on the north boundary. In these areas the
young growth on the higher lands is mostly birch, spruce, jack pine and poplar,
the amount of each being in the order mentioned. On the low land the pre-
dominant species is spruce. The average size of the timber would be about four
inches. The remaining portions of the line are well timbered with spruce, birch,
poplar and jack pine with considerable balsam. The average size would be between
seven and ten inches. The spruce is the species occurring most often in the
blocks of any value. The largest areas of this species on the south boundary
are between the 3rd mile and the 6th mile and between the 26th mile and the
south- we^t corner. Here the timber is very suitable for pulpwood on the lower
land and on the high land for logs and piling. On the west boundary good
spruce is found from the south-west corner to the 11th mile. This is larger
than that on the south boundary but there is a considerable amount of it blown
down by wind. From the 21st mile to the northwest corner is a better stand,
this area containing many swamps where spruce is the only species found. On
the north boundary it extends from the north-west corner to about the 10th mile
and here the best spruce was found. There appeared to be a very large area
of spruce swamps to the north of the line here and also extending to the west
for several miles. Two areas of jack pine were noticed, the first being from
the 5th mile to midway between the 6th and 7th miles on the south boundary
and the second along the 17th mile on the west boundary. No white pine of
value was seen.

EouTEs, Waterways, etc.

The main rivers draining the Limit are the Black Sturgeon, Nonwatin,
Spruce and Poshkokagan. The Black Sturgeon is the outlet of the Nonwatin
and Spruce and is the most important one. It is navigable by canoe at all
seasons and would require very little improvement for driving timber. The

1919-20 DEPAETMENT OF LANDS, FORESTS AND MINES. 77

Spruce is very shallow and can be used to advantage for canoeing only in the
early summer months. It was necessary for us to use it, however, and from
Little Sturgeon Lake to the south boundary of the limit between twenty and
thirty portages were cut out. The Spruce is joined by a smaller stream, the
Eaglehead River about eight miles from the south boundary. The Poshkokagan
River appears to have a greater flow than the Spruce. It was only used from
Chief Bay to the north boundary of the limit (about ten miles) and in this
distance there are only two portages and both are short. The portages further
up the river are well cut out and are used by Indians in the spring.

Black Sturgeon Lake was made the supply base for the performance of the
survey. Supplies were brought here via Lake Nipigon and were cached with
the forest rangers. The mam party was taken in via Black Sturgeon River and
the first meet with the packers made at the Spruce River.

Water.

A.11 water was free from alkali. The water in all the lakes was clear and
clean while that in the rivers and small creeks was dark in colour but had no
objectionable taste or odour.

Game.

Moose are plentiful in all parts and particularly near the Black Sturgeon
River. No caribou tracks were seen but signs of deer were noticed on the north
boundary.

Beavers are the most numerous fur bearing animals and nearly all creeks
and lakes showed indication of their work. Bears are also numerous along the
Black Sturgeon River but further in no signs of them were seen. The Indians
report lynx, fisher, mink and fox in abundance, but rabbits, partridge and wolves
are almost extinct.

The lakes and rivers are well stocked with fish, pike being the most numerous.
Black bass are found in the Black Sturgeon River and in Black Sturgeon Lake.
The waters tributary to Lake Nipigon are nearly all good trout streams.

The magnetic variation remained fairly constant at one degree and twenty-
five minutes to one degree and thirty minutes.

The maps supplied by your Department were found to be very reliable in
most cases as also were those of the Geological Department of the Dominion
Government.

We have the honour to be, Sir

Your obedient servants,

Appendix No. 29.
Survey of the Township of Williamson, in the District of Algoma.

Parry Sound, October 15th, 1918.

Sir, — I have the honour to submit the following report on the survey of
the Township of Williamson, in the District of Algoma.

This township is bounded on the south by the Township of Owens, surveyed
by O.L.S. Anderson in 1917, on the west by the Township of Idington, surveyed
by O.L.S. Dobie in 1917-18, on the north and east by the unsurveyed Townships
of Nixon and Teezel, respectively. The National Transcontinental Eailway crosses
the south boundary about seventy-six miles west of Cochrane near the corner of
lots eleven and twelve, a short distance west of Secord Station, and bearing in a
direction a little north of west, crosses the west boundary in the fourth con-
cession. It is therefore well supplied with railway facilities.

I commenced my survey by chaining and posting the south boundary, making
the lots the width shown in the field notes and from this boundary meridians
were projected north astronomically in the centre of the road allowances, between
lots six and seven, twelve and thirteen, eighteen and nineteen and between lots
twenty-four and twenty-fi.ve.

The centre lines of road allow^ances between the concessions were run as
chords of latitude making the depths of the concessions as shown on plan and in
the field notes, the survey being carried on in accordance with instructions; the
lines being well cut out and blazed and substantial wooden posts planted at the
corners of the lots with guide posts in the centre of the road allowances between
the concessions opposite the lot corners. Bearing trees were marked for all lot
posts as recorded in the field notes. Iron posts were planted alongside wooden
posts where directed and their location is shown on plan and recorded in the field
notes. I endeavoured faithfully to carry on my survey throughout in accordance
with my instructions and the results in detail are shown on the plan and recorded
in the field notes. Frequent observations for azimuth were taken, the magnetic
variation being about seven degrees and fifteen minutes west of. north,

A road allowance one chain in perpendicular width was laid out on each
side of the right of way of the Trancontinental Eailway, on each side of Lost
Eiver and around the lakes shown. I made a careful traverse of Lost Eiver, the
course of which is very crooked, particularly in the first eight concessions, this
stream has a considerable volume of water during spring freshets and early
summer, and is navigable throughout by loaded canoes, but in August it became
very shallow and had very little water in it so that we had difficulty moving
our outfit up to the railroad, although canoes were not heavily loaded. That
part of the river between lot fourteen, concession seventeen and the north boundary
as well as that flowing through concessions eighteen to thirteen is obstructed with
boulders in many places and must be rather turbulent in high water. I under-
stand that the fire rangers travel up this river from the Kapuskasing to the
railway. During August the water did not appear to be safe for drinking purposes
without boiling.

Timber.

The township is thickly covered with timber and fire has run over about
six per cent, of it, there being two small brules in the south-east corner, coverino-
about four hundred acres, there is also between six and seven hundred acres

I

1919-20 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS, FORESTS AND MINES. 79

burned over in the south-west corner of the township and the largest area extends
easterly from the west boundary in concession nine and covers an area of about
two thousand acres. About fifty per cent, of the township is covered with spruce
swamp with deep moss, the timber being from four to seven inches in diameter,
the balance is principally spruce, poplar, balsam and white birch from four to
twelve inches in diameter, the timber plan accompanying the report shows the
dill'erent areas as accurately as could be ascertained during progress of survey.
The largest timber being located east of Lost River, concessions one to six,
inclusive.

Soil.

The soil generally is clay, about fifty per cent, of the area being covered
with moss from six inches to two feet in depth and the balance with little or no
moss. I estimate that about seventy-five per cent, is suitable for development
for agricultural purposes but it will require considerable drainage, the highest
area is along the railway and in the south-easterly portion of the township.

Minerals and Rock.

No indications of economic minerals were observed and comparatively few
outcrops of rock were noted. A small quarry was opened on lot seventeen, con-
cession three, on the east side of Lost River by the railway contractors. There
are frequent rock outcrops in the bed of river in lots twelve and thirteen, con-
cession eighteen.

LiiKES AND Streams.

Lost River varies in width from about one chain near the south boundary
to one and one-half chains at the north and east boundaries. It has a good
strong current during times of freshet and is rapid from concession seventeen to
the north boundary and where it flows through the easterly part of township.
Freshet level is about six feet higher than low water level and there are no falls
within the limits of this township. There are only a few small lakes and they are
shallow with low banks.

Fisii AND Game.

The fishing is rather poor l)ut during June and July we caught a few fair
sized pike in Lost River and Solomon Creek and I understand pickerel and pike
are plentiful in some of the lakes, particularly in the one on lots nineteen and
twenty, concession five.

Moose were very plentiful along Lost River,

In conclusion, I consider that about seventy-five per cent, of this township
will be available for agricultural development, the timber being chiefly valuable
for pulpwood. Summer frosts occurred throughout the season which was a cold
one, in places we found that the frost did not go out of the ground this year.

Accompanying this report are a timber plan, general township plan, field
notes, account in triplicate and the customary affidavits.

Survey of Township Outlines Between Gkound Hog and Kapuskasing
EiVEES^ IN the District of Timiskaming.

New Liskeard, Ont., August 30th, 1919.

SiR^ — Under instructions to us from Mr. L. V. Rorke, Director of Surveys,
bearing date April 15th, 1919, our Mr. Neelands proceeded to Foleyet on the
Canadian Northern Eailway, May 19th, and personally conducted the survey up
to the time of its completion, July 10th. The party was supplied and outfitted
by Mr. Henry Charron, Foleyet, and everything found satisfactory. Through
the courtesy of Mr. Cyril T. Young, Supt. of The Eastern Lands Co., our supplies
and equipment were delivered at Sandy Lake, two miles west of Foleyet, from
which point a good canoe route via the Pishkanogama Eiver led directly to our
starting point — the 63rd mile post on the late O.L.S. Niven's base line, N. lat.
48 degrees, 27 minutes, 54 seconds; longitude 82 degrees, 26 minutes west.

Sun and stellar observations were taken May 25th and 26th, at the post
marked 63 M. -2 chains on the west bank, the 63 Mile Post coming in said river ;
and the two chain offset made to the east and the meridian started the latter
date. A wooden post and 1% in. iron post was planted on the north bank of
the river 1.15 chains due north of said 63 M. point in river and wooden posts
planted every mile and marked consecutively on the north side, while 11/4 in.
iron posts were planted beside every third mile post except at township corners
where 1% in. iron posts were planted.

Our assistant, a returned man, was unable to handle the instrument, due
to the rough nature of the ground in places and the extreme heat, but rendered
valuable service in keeping notes copied and checked.

Our original intention was to keep a small party on the meridian while a
larger party took the east and west lines, but circumstances made it compulsory
to conduct only one party. The 15 mile lake and the innumerable watercourses
with which the country^ was reported to abound in, evaporated and we were
forced to abandon canoes and use the pack strap to the end of the work.

After the meridian had been run 9 miles, we ran east on a 9 mile chord
of a parallel of latitude intersecting the Pishkanogama Eiver 1% miles east of
said meridian, and planting posts as indicated above, except that a wooden and
1% in. iron post was left at the 9 mile point with only township names thereon
to be moved to the intersection by O.L.S. Fitzgerald. This line was then con-
tinued on another 9 mile chord of the same parallel of latitude to the Ground
Hog Eiver, a distance of 2 M. 62.69 chains where a wooden post was planted
at high water mark and the above chainage inscribed thereon. Two l^/i in. iron
posts were left beside said wooden post and Mr. Speight notified by letter con-
cerning same.

Eeturning to the starting point, a line was run west on a 9 mile chord of a
])arallel of latitude a distance of 8 M. 77.95 chains to its intersection with
O.L.S. Speight's meridian of 1909 hitting said line 0.87 chains north of the post
as shown on copy of notes of said line furnished by your Department, but 0.02
cliains south of a 2 in. hub planted in sink hole marking the intersection of a
surveyed line running due west and on which was planted 0,54 chains west of
said intersection and on the westerly bank of said sink hole a 6 in. spruce post

marked on east side 54 and tied in two by two bearing trees, namely, 10 in. spruce
N. 15 degrees west — 0.17 chains and 5 in. Balsam S. 45 degrees west^O.076
chains.

The hour being late and the distance to camp long and never doubting at
the time but that the latter post was due west of the 9 mile point, the markings
on the other post were neglected. So far we have been unable to get any light
on the matter.

The meridiffli was then produced another 9 miles and from this point a
second east line run 9 miles with posts planted as per instructions, and a line
west to said O.L.S. Speight's line, a distance of 8 miles 75.73 chains intersecting
said line 0.49 chains south of XVIII mile post.

The meridian was then produced 9 miles further and a third line run east
and west, the latter at VIII M. 73.73 chains intersecting the production of said
O.L.S. Speight's meridian 1.33 chains north of the XXVII mile post.

Provisions by this time were running low, but we were able to run six
more miles of meridian before being forced to abandon the work within sight
of the goal. Had we been able to bring all the canoes along we would have
completed the contract but the one small canoe was capable of carrying only our
assistant and two canoemen to Fauquier on the T. C. Ey. over a route, the nature
of which we did not know, but which if navigable would prove the most con-
venient route by which to return to complete same or continue the outline work
farther north another year. With this idea in mind we had our assistant make a
compass survey of the route and have drafted same as per his notes on our returns
to your Department.

Instrument Woek.

A Light Mountain Gurley instrument was used on the work, and from two
to four observations taken every night that polaris was visible. These observations
were facilitated by the use of curves previously plotted in our office for the
latitude and longitude of the work, a copy of which we attach, and our watch
set for solar time and corrected every few days.

We found observations solved by the use of this curve to check to the half
minute.

Chainage.

A chain of 400 links Avas used and the chainers cautioned not to break
chain but read the inclination with an Abney hand level and reduce to horizontal
distance, curves being also used for this purpose, a copy of which we attach.
The chainers were duly sworn in on the ground at the starting point, the chain
tested and re-checked twice during the survey, and we believe they strived hard
to render correct measurements.

Elevations of all hills were solved from the inclination angles ts&en while
chaining.

Posts and Bearing Trees.

The most durable wood obtainable was selected and often carried many
chains and marked by a scribe, while the iron posts were marked with a cold
chisel. The largest trees were not selected for bearing trees but smaller and
more healthy ones which would not likely for some time fall a prey to the axe
of the lumberman, and these trees were chosen as far as possible in such a

82 EEPOET OF THE No. 3

position that lines drawn from them to the post, formed an angle of approxi-
mately 90 degrees or less, thereby making it the more easy at a future date to
relocate the position of the post, should such be lost.

Astronomic bearings of these trees were taken by the use of a wooden disk,
so constructed that it rested firmly on the top of the post planted, in whatever
position set, and the face of this circular disk was carved into ridges and grooves
radiating from the centre and along which the chainman sighted after having
set the cardinal points to correspond with the direction of the line being posted.

Blazing of Lines.

As five axemen in all were used on line the picket man was held responsible
for the blazing and very satisfactorily accomplished same almost unaided.

Timber.

A great portion of the land lying east of the meridian has been burned over
some twenty or thirty years ago and is being rapidly reforested with birch,
poplar, spruce and tamarac.

In this section on the first line east and on the fifth mile a narrow but good
belt of jack pine has escaped and apparently runs in a northerly direction while
.scattered trees occur a few miles east on same line.

Very narrow ridges crossing the second line running east indicate what may
be the northern boundary of a fair belt of tie timber, as jack pine suitable for
tie timber also is present between the tenth and fifteenth mile posts on the
meridian.

The forest bordering the third line running east and as far north as the
Wokomeesee River, for the most part is second growth as far as we could observe
from the tops of hills and trees.

West of the meridian the timber is very large and dense in many places,
particularly in the Township of Wadsworth where spruce, balsam, balm of Gilead,
poplar, birch and cedar attain a large size being sound as well, and some white
pine and much scattered jack pine also is present although the white pine is not
sound.

The only clearly defined spruce forest present within the limits of our survey
is located along the western side of the Townships of Wadsworth and Lisgar,
apparently widening out farther north and following the western bank of the
Wokomeesee River. Much of this timber is suitable for pulp and the balance
will soon be large enough.

Water Courses.

Due to the drought, navigable routes, if they exist in average years, were
limited in our case to the Osishana Creek and Paypeeshekameka River as far we§t
as the meridian, also the Wokomeesee River for some distance south into Lisgar
Township, but the Koamakashekak Creek and Otapingshewee River might be
improved for driving purposes.

Many of the lakes and creeks within the township lines were obtained from
sketclies by trappers familiar with the country and although vouched for by tliom
are not considered authentic by us, but have been shown with a vie\v to givin<:r
i\]] the information acquired during the progress of the survey.

1919-20 DEPAETMENT OF LANDS, FOKESTS AND MINES. 83

EocK Formation.

The country rock met with was for the inost part granite with a high per-
centage of mica present in places, the only other formation met with being two out-
croppings of schist, one in the third line east on the second mile and the other
north of the XXIX mile post on the meridian.

Agriculture.

Most of the arable land is somewhat sandy and in places is suited for farming,
but on the whole we think it better left unoccupied until present merchantable
timbei* has been removed.

Animal Life.

Moose abound, indications of a few red deer were seen, wolves and bear are
numerous, while the better class of fur bearing animals appear plentiful.

Brook trout were caught in the Koamakashekak Creek and the Paypeesheka-
meka Eiver with hook and line, and pike and pickerel in several lakes with the
trawl, but further than this we cannot say with what varieties the lakes and
streams are stocked.

Flowers and Shrubs.

None other than the varieties commonly met with in the great clay belt
were observed along the lines surveyed by us.

Water Powers.

We did not have occasion to pass by any waterfalls but know of the existence
of four in the Township of Stanley on the Pishkanogama Eiver, with an average
head each of possibly 15 or 20 feet, three being within sight of each other.

In conclusion, we beg to thank you for the work allotted to us and assure
you that every effort was made to accomplish the character of work required by
your Department, and at the same time make a few sorely needed dollars to
lielp tide us over another year.

We sincerely trust that the accompanying plan and field notes togetber with
the timber plan will meet witli your approval, all of which is respectfully submitted.

We have the honour to be, Sir,

Your obedient servants,

Appendix No. 31.

Survey of the Outlines of the Pic Eiver Pulpwood and Timber Limit,

District op Thunder Bay.

NiPiGON, Ont., August 2ncl, 1919.

Sir, — I beg to submit the following report on the survey of the outlines of the
Pic Eiver Pulp and Timber Limit, surveyed by me under instructions from
the Department of Lands, Forests and Mines, dated Toronto, April 15th, 1919.

Pursuant to instructions, I commenced my survey at the point in which the
centre line of the main track of the Canadian Pacific Eailway is intersected by
the line between townships numbers 73 and 74, as located on the ground by
E. Stewart, O.L.S., in his survey of township outlines along the C.P.E. in 1894.
From this said point I ran north astronomically a distance of 32 miles and 25
links to the north-east angle of the pulp limit, this said line forming the easterly
boundary thereof. I planted the 4 Mile Post as directed in my instructions and at
the end of each mile thereafter I planted a wooden post. These posts were made
of the most durable wood obtainable. In a very few instances it was found
absolutely necessary to use balsam posts but the great majority of the posts, as shown
on my field notes, are either of spruce or of Banksian pine. Wherever possible, I
placed a cairn of stones about the post. I planted iron posts beside the wooden
posts at the end of every third mile, as instructed and marked the iron posts
with a cold chisel. The iron and wooden posts are marked with Eoman numerals,
marked with the number of the mile from the initial point of each line. I
marked two bearing trees, wherever possible, for each mile post. These are shown
on my field notes. In some instances, it was impossible to get any bearing trees;
these instances are also noted in field notes. Unless otherwise specified in my
field notes, all wooden posts planted were dressed six inches square. All posts were
firmly planted in the ground, and after being set, stand at least three feet above
tlie ground.

From the north-east angle of the Pulp Limit, I ran west astronomically on six
mile chords of the parallel of latitude, a distance of 46 miles to the north-west
angle of the limit, and from that point, I ran south astronomically to the shore
line of Lake Superior. Where the end of a mile came in a lake, as it did in several
instances, I planted a post on the nearest shore and marked it to show its distance
from the true position.

Where the distance across a lake or river could not be obtained with a steel
tape in the usual way, I obtained the width by triangulation. The base of the
triangles employed in this work was, in all but two or three instances, made of
sufficient length to give an angle opposite the base of not less than ten degrees.
Frequent astronomical observations for azimuth were taken and the notes of these
I am enclosing with my field notes. My lines of survey were well cut out and
particular attention was paid to the blazing thereof. On ithe north boundary there
is a burnt area of eleven miles in extent. There was no timber on this area
so no blazing at all could be done. However, I had my picket man plant pickets
with a mound of stone about them whenever he could do so, to render it possible
to find and follow this line. Wherever there was green timber, the line was well
hlazed in the prescribed manner.

1919-20 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS, FORESTS AND MINES. 85

Soil.

The easterly boundary of the limit, ran, for the better part of its length
through rocky country, this being granite. There were some sandy areas, as
shown on the field notes, but for the most part, this line ran through a rough,
rolling, rocky country. This kept up along the northerly boundary until I had
crossed the Pic River. From this point on, along the northerly boundary, the
soil was clay, Avhere it was not rocky. The westerly boundary was also rocky,
very rough, with, however, sandy soil between the areas of rocky land. In general,
the entire outline of this limit may be said to be very rough and rocky, especially
along the northerly boundary where sheer cliffs of from 100 to 400 feet are met
with. The areas of clay and sandy soil met with were so small in extent as
to be of no interest from an agricultural standpoint.

Timber.

As shown on the field notes for the several lines, the prevailing timber is
spruce and balsam, birch and poplar. There was some Banksian pine met with
but not in sufficient quantities or of sufficient size to be of commercial value.
In fact, no tie timber was encountered at all on this survey except through the small
area that had previously been cut over on the westerly boundary. Although the
survey lines ran through spruce and balsam, in some cases of considerable size,
there were no areas encountered that would be of interest commercially. It was a
constant source of wonder to me as to where the areas of pulpwood did lie, I
having heard that this was a wonderful limit for pulpwood. Undoubtedly, the
areas referred to must lie well within the limit. There was no white or red pine,
and no cedar met with. As stated above, there is an eleven-mile burn on the
north boundary, twice burnt over, extending four miles to the south and two miles
to the north of the northerly limit.

Minerals.

The formation for the greater part of the area, as covered by me, was of
granite. There were small areas, especially on the northerly boundary which would
warrant the attention of prospectors. My men brought back samples of free gold
and some samples of copper. If it is the wish of the Department, I will be glad
to forward these to Toronto. I might add that iron pyrites were found to some
extent along the westerly boundary.

Game.

The country abounds in wild game. Moose and cariboo were found in great
abundance. The smaller lakes along the northerly boundary being great natural
feeding places for them. Partridges were found in large numbers. As shown
on the notes, there are many small beaver meadows. Beaver are very plentiful
in this area. The fishing is excellent, speckled trout being in abundance in all of
the streams met with. The lakes are full of pike and pickerel. On two of the
larger lakes, lake trout seemed very plentiful.

Lakes and Streams.

A glance at the plan will show better than a description can, the lakes and
rivers met with on this survey. The principal rivers being the Pic, Little Pic

86 EEPOET OF THE No. 3

and Steel. The larger lakes being the Whitefish, Trout and Owl. There arc
innumerable small streams and small lakes in this large area. I have endeavoured
to show these and the connections between them on my plan. It must be under-
stood, however, that this is a most incomplete plan, as far as water routes are
coiicerned. There were no places where I considered that a reservation should
be made to the Crown of water powers. There may be such areas within the
limit, but at or near the boundaries as run by me, there were no areas of sufficient
importance to warrant any special attention.

Conclusion.

I feel, sir, that this report is not complete in detail, but the plan and field
notes will show the extent of the timber areas, will show the rivers and lakes,
canoe routes, burnt and cut-over areas, better than they can be covered in any
report. If there are any inquiries that you, sir, may wish to make, or that the
Department wishes to make, I will be glad to go into further detail as well as
I can. As a timber report, this report will be of no value, for we encountered
no timber on the survey — that is, no timber of commercial value and in sufficient
quantity to warrant timbering operations to drive it to the lake.

I trust, sir, that my plan and field notes will be found to be correct and
in good order, and that the lines of survey as run on the ground, may be found
by your Inspector to be well cut out and blazed, the posts well marked and planted.
All possible care was taken to follow the instructions, both written and printed
in this and other respects.

I have the honour to be, Sir

Your obedient servant,

(Sgd.) M. E. Crouch,

Ontario Land Surveyor.

Survey of the Tow^nship of Gumming, District of Algoma.

Sault Ste. Marie, January 16th, 1919.

Si]^^ — We have the honour to report that under instructions dated the 26th
of June, 1918, we have subdivided the Township of Cumming into farm lots
of approximately 100 acres each. We commenced the survey by running south
astronomically the sideline between Lots 6 and 7 from the north boundary of the
township. This line is a continuation of the corresponding sideline in the Town-
ship of Idington subdivided by O.L.S. Dobie. We cut this line for approximately
9 miles taking a number of observations. We next ran the south boundary of the
township running due west from a post marked 9 M. planted by O.L.S. Niven in
1906 to the intersection with another meridian also run by O.L.S. Mven in 1906.

k

[ 1919-20 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS, FORESTS AND MINES. 87

These meridian lines are approximately 9 miles apart. We continued the survey
tliroughout the township observing Polaris frequently for meridian and correcting
any small errors found in the direction of the lines. A traverse was made of all
lakes found in the township.

There are no rivers of importance in the township. Lost River is not navi-
gable and cannot be used even for canoe travel as it is filled with log jams and
contains many beaver dams. During the summer season parts of this river are
practically dry.

The whole of the township is quite level, there are a few clay ridges which
are unimportant. Rock outcrops only in three or four places in the whole town-
ship. The formation consists of Keewatin greenstone and schist. Near the south
boundary of the township there are strong indications of magnetic deposits. A
few mining claims were staked on these indications in 1913 but were apparently
al)andoned as there are no signs of work having been done.

The soil is principally clay or clay loam. This is covered in the green bush
with about tAvelve inches of moss and black muck but in the brule the clay is lying-
exposed. We would consider fully seventy-five per cent, of this township fit for
agricultural purposes. Portions of the brule are sparsely timbered and could be
(bleared with very little work.

The timber in the township is nearly all spruce up to about 8 in. in diameter.
On the ridges and higher ground considerable poplar and birch is found. There
are also quantities of cedar in the swamps near the west boundary of the township.
The brule is generally covered with small spruce and alders and is about twenty
years of age. Evidently this country was fire swept about eighty years ago as no
standing timber exists older than this.

No fish of any importance were noticed in the township. The lakes are all
marshy and shallow and only a few pike exist in these. Moose and beaver are
quite plentiful. There is no settlement of any description within the limits of
tlio township.

The average magnetic variation we found to be 7 deg. west of north.

We have the honour to be, Sir,

Your obedient servants,

Traverse Survey of the Opazatika River and Lakes, Pishkanogama Lake,
Ground Hog and Horwood Lake, and SAiTKATAWiciiTAti River and Lake.

. Cobalt, November 12th, 1919.

Sir, — In obedience to your instructions, dated May 2nd, 1919, to traverse
certain lakes and rivers in the Districts of Sudbury and Algoma, I have surveyed
as much of my contract as was possible and beg to report as follows: —

EEPOET OF THE No. 3

EouTiNE OF Work.

On May 16th, I left Cobalt with my party. We commenced the survey of
Opazatika Eiver at the south boundary of McCrea Township on May 19th, and
worked upstream in a southerly direction through Opazatika Eiver, Eufus, Penelton
and Opazatika Lakes, finishing this portion of the work on July 4th. From
Opazatika Lake we came down stream to the National Transcontinental Eailway
and boarded train to Foleyet on Canadian Northern Ontario Eailway.

The survey of Pishkanogama Lake was commenced at the south boundary of
Foleyet Township on July 14th, and finished on August 5th." Camp was moved
to Ground Hog Lake.

The survey of Ground Hog Lake was commenced at the south boundary of
the north half of Keith Township on August 9th, continued through Ground
Hog Eiver to Horwood Lake. Through Horwood Lake and the north-east arm
thereof and tied on to the north boundary of Dale Township. This work was
finished on September 13th and camp moved south to Sahkatawichtah Eiver.

The survey of Sahkatawichtah Eiver was commenced at the south boundary
of Dale Township on September 16th and continued southerly to Sahkatawichtah
Lake. The survey of this lake was completed with the exception of a small
portion. at the north-west end. This is shown dotted on the plan.

For some time the weather had been stormy and wet, making it difficult to
get readings and dangerous for men in canoes owing to the size of the lake. On
the morning of September 30th I moved camp to Ground Hog. On October 1st,
I paid off my party with the exception of C. E. Code, O.L.S.,. who has assisted
me in preparing plans of the work.

From considerable traverse work I have done in winter I think that about
as good progress can be made then as in summer. As blazed trees are used to
tie in traverse points, the difficulty of planting posts in winter is not encountered.
The main traverse being chained on the ice, is very accurate. Even with the
snow, the shore line can be determined very accurately. If you so desire, I shall
be glad to continue the survey as soon as the ice becomes good.

The following is the mileage of traverse : —

Opazatika — Sahkatawichtah River 6.5

River 25.5 Sahkatawichtah Lake ... 20.0

Lakes 83.5 Sahkatawichtah Islands ... 1.5

Islands 16.5 28.0

Ground Hog Lake 10.5 136.2

Islands G. H. L 2.0

Islands Horwood Lake... 3.0 Total 355.5

65.8

This total is only approximate.

Method of Survey.
(a) Instruments used.

Except in the survey of Pishkanogama Lake, where most of distances between
stations were chained on the sand, the traverse was made by stadia readings for
distance. Azimuth ano^les were carried through with a transit.

1919-20 DEPAETMENT OF LANDS, FORESTS AND MINES. 89

The stadia rods used read direct to tenths of links. The accuracy of readings
was checked from time to time by readings on measured lines and also on the
sides of triangles, calculated from chained base measurements. They were found
to be very accurate. Eesults are shown in the field notes.

Field Notes.

(6) One form of field notes was kept throughout the course of the work.
The notes were transcribed in ink and carefully checked. They show — station,
azimuth, distance, angle right, bearing, and under remarks, the point on which
the reading was taken.

(c) Observations, — Observations were taken frequently on Polaris and the sun
for azimuth. The calculations are shown in the field notes.

(d) Posts and blazed trees. — On rivers and around the shores of lakes, trees
were blazed at intervals of about one mile and were marked " 1 M," " 2 M,"
" 3 M," etc. Records of these are shown on the plans and in the field notes.

On islands, stump posts were made. A good sound tree was felled and the
stump squared and marked with a letter " A, B, C," etc. Except in a few cases
where the islands were very small, when a tree was blazed. The bearings shown
to posts and trees are astronomical.

(e) Survey lines, township boundaries. — In all cases where survey lines were
found ; they were tied in and are shown on the plans. Posts were planted one
chain from the shore on each side of the river or lake, where this had not been
done in the original survey.

At the south end of Pishkanogama Lake, on the Avest side, we found what
appears to be the production across the lake of O.L.S. Sinclairjs line, run in
1867. We tried to find more blazed trees by turning an azimuth of 90 degrees,
but the others seemed to have been burned as it is a very old brule at this point.
The tree we found is a fourteen-inch cedar, blazed on three sides and marked
" IXMIX." The wood grown over the blazes seems to be about 32 years old
and the cedar has been dead probably 20 years.

Descriptions of Lakes and Rivers.
(a) OpazatiJca River and Lakes.

Shores. — Opazatika River has an average width of about two chains. The
sliores are clay, except in a few places where rock outcrops. The land back from
the banks is nearly all an old brule grown up with poplar of from three to four
inches in diameter down to mere brush. The soil is a good clay loam very
suitable for agriculture, and very easily cleared at present while this growth
is small.

The shores of Rufus, Penelton and Opazatika Lakes are rocky and, as the brule
extends here also, there is very little valuable timber.

Water Powers. — There is only one falls of real value from a power viewpoint.
This is on the Opazatika River at the eleventh mile post of the traverse, south
of McCrea Township.

Owing to wind I was unable to get the flow measurement. The head is
23.7 feet.

One hundred and sixty acres should be quite sufficient land for development
purposes. The two snapshots shown below are of this falls.

90 EEPOET OF THE No. 3

Islands. — There are thirty-six islands in Opazatika Lake. The largest one
contains 776.8 acres. The next largest 24 acres. The majority of the remainder
are small. They are almost all very rocky and timbered with jack pine, spruce,
birch, poplar and balsam. A3 which is the largest is nearly all brule.

(&) Pishkanogama Lake.

Shores. — The shores at the north end of Pishkanogama Lake are of sand.
Sandhills rising from the original shore line are timbered with jack pine, some
spruce and balsam, birch and poplar. At the narrows of the lake rock outcrops.
From this point to the south end of the lake, the shores are rocky.

A considerable amount of the timber has been destroyed by fire, particularly
at the south end of the lake and along the west shore from the narrows south.
There is, however, considerable good timber on the west side of the lake. Jack
pine and spruce averaging from 10 to 13 inches in diameter, also balsam, birch
and poplar.

Towards the south end of the lake the ground rises very quickly from the
shore line, and from portions I was over, I would say was not favourable for
agriculture.

The original water level of the lake has been lowered at the north end 19.4
feet. This leaves a series of small mud rapids at the narrows. The water im-
mediately above the narrows is very shallow, making progress in canoes difficult
for a distance of about one mile. The difference in elevation between the original
and present water level above the rapids at the narrows is 10.8 feet. At the
south end of the lake the water has been lowered 11.7 feet. The two snapshots
showji below were taken from the north end of the lake looking south.

At the north end of the lake, the bottom exposed is sand. From the narrows
south, it is a mixture of sand and clay.

On the plan of survey I have shown the land between the original and present
water level coloured a light brown.

Islands. — There are fifteen islands in Pishkanogama Lake. The largest,
Island F, containing 34.6 acres. The next largest. Island C, 6.8 acres. The
remainder are, very small. With the water at its present elevation, most of. the
islands are really mainland. The acreage shown on the plan is for that area
which is within the original shore line. All the islands are well timbered, and
under natural conditions must be very pretty. The soil is sandy with rock out-
oroppings.

(c) Ground Hog Lake and River.

Shores. — The shores of Ground Hog Lake are fairly high. The ground
rises sliarply from the shore line. The land is rocky covered in places with a
heavy overburden of clay and gravel.

The north, west and south shores are fairly well timbered, but the east shore
is most brule.

Islands.^There are five islands in Ground Hog Lake. Island A, containing
28.8 acres. The next largest. Island C, containing 5.2 acres. The remainder are
very small. With the exception of A, which is sand and gravel, they are rocky.
All are well timbered.

1919-20 DEPAETMENT 0¥ LANDS, FOKESTS AND MINES. 91

The river south from Ground Hog Lake has an average width of five chains.
The current is slow. At station 16, 17 and 18, there are rapids with a total fall
of 4.6 feet. The banks of the river are mostly flat. Considerable ash is to be
found along them, some of it running as large as ten inches in diameter.

(d) Horwood Lake.

Shores. — The shores of Horwood Lake are very rocky. The north-east arm
shores being particularly high and rough.

Timber. — The west side and the north-east end of the lake proper, are well
timbered with jack pine, spruce, balsam, birch and poplar, while the remainder
is old brule with patches of second growth jack pine, spruce, poplar and birch.

The north-east arm from the narrows at its outlet up to about half way up
the arm, say to station 64, is old brule with patches of jack and red pine. From
station 64 to the north end is good timber, jack pine, spruce, balsam, birch and
poplar with good cedar along the shores.

Islands. — The islands in Horwood Lake are all rocky and with the exception
of the large island at the north end of the lake proper, which is brule, are all
well timbered.

(e) Sahhatawichtali River and LaJce.

Shores. — The shores of Sahkatawichtah Eiver and Lake are fairly rocky.
The ground back from the shore is high and rough.

Timber. — The shores along the river are mostly old brule.

The north-west side and the north-east end of the lake are practically all
brule, while the south-east shore is well timbered with spruce, jack-pine and
balsam.

Islands. — The islands are all rocky and fairly well timbered. They are all
small.

Survey of Township Outlines in the District of Sudbury.

Orillia, October 31st, 1919.

SiR^ — Upon receipt of your instructions bearing date of the twenty-second
day of April, 1919, for the survey of township outlines in the District of Sudbury,
we proceeded to make such preparations as were necessary to carry out the work
outlined therein.

The unsettled condition due to after-war unrest, effecting especially the labour
market, and to a lesser extent the procuring of certain kinds of supplies and
their transportation, consumed a good deal of time, and it was not until the
27th day of June following, that we were able to leave with our party for the
site of the work, although we had men stationed at Agate for some time previously
awaiting the arrival of supplies. All through the work this state of unrest was
reflected in the working forces, and added not a little to the difficulties ordinarily
encountered.

The Indians in the upper country also, admittedly the best men procurable
for this class of work, experienced a heavy mortality during the past winter, through
the outbreak of Spanish influenza, and many of those who were fortunate enough
to recover, were in poor condition to withstand the hard work and exposure
involved.

Heavy bush fires to the south and west lent an occasional smoke pall of some
days* duration, at times thick enough to render sighting difficult; while from
the latter part of August and through September, there was a period of almost
constant rain.

Sending our main supplies to Agate to be transported up the Chapleau River,
we left the Canadian National Eailway at Missonga and proceeded to the south-
west angle of the Township of Shenango, where the survey was commenced.
Running the meridian from this point due south to its intersection with the
base line run by O.L.S. Speight, we proceeded west, and in general followed the
programme laid down in the instructions. Six inch square wooden posts were
planted at every mile, or at the nearest shore where water interruptions occurred,
with the addition of an iron post at three mile intervals, and marked with the
mileage or the township names. Astronomical observations were taken wherever
desirable, when weather conditions permitted, and a close alignment maintained.
Base lines Avere run on the chord of the parallel. Details of all operations will
be found in the plans and field notes returned herewith.

The country traversed, lying as it does along the southerly edge of the
clay belt, possesses the characteristics of border topography, and marks the transi-
tion from the rougher rockbound hill country to the south, to the level expanses of
the clay belt. The surface is one of short broken undulations, seldom interrupted
by sharply rising hills, and such of these as do occur rarely exceed forty or fifty
feet in altitude. Comparing this section with surrounding areas, we might say
that to the south are storm tossed waves, here .a rippled surface and to the north
a placid calm.

Rock outcrops are not numerous, the country being well covered, and such
exposures as do occur apparently belonging to the Laurentian formation.

Two main drainage, channels traverse this area, flowing toward the north.
Trout River crossed by the base line between Sherlock and Lincoln at VI 3-4 M.

and following closely the course of the meridian between Lincoln and Copperfield,
is a leisurely stream affording an excellent canoe route, and imposes only one
obstacle in its course through these townships, in the form of a fall of some
fifteen feet, opposite the four mile post, where a portage of about five chains
is required. From opposite Vi/^ to VIIII/2 miles, this stream widens into a
lake expansion, with well wooded shores and four islands of six to eighteen chains
in length. From the last mentioned point the course of the river turns south-
easterly.

Chapleau River, crossed by the base line between Bonar and Copperfield at
mileage 3i/4 and by the meridian Sherlock-Bonar at VI M -|- 22.70' chains and
entering Agate Lake in the Township of Kapuskasing; is of quite a different
character; and is marked by many shallow rapids in its course through Bonar
and Sherlock, rendering it a poor stream for travel by canoe. A fall of about
fifteen feet occurs a short distance north of the south boundary of Bonar, and
another about two and a half miles further south. The banks of this stream
are usually low, and must occasion a good deal of flooding at spring levels. Its
general width is from one hundred and fifty to two hundred feet, of comparatively
shallow depth, and good current.

A creek or river enters the Chapleau about opposite IV M. on the Bonar-
Sherlock meridian. This stream flows from a considerable lake, approaching the
south boundary of Bonar at V. M. and in its westerly continuation crosses the
meridian Bonar-Lloyd at II M -[- 67 chains. It is also shallow and tortuous,
with many rapids, and difficult of navigation. Its general width is about one
hundred feet.

The lake through which this latter river passes, is of peculiar bifurcated
outline, about two and a half miles from north to south by an extreme width of
a mile and a quarter. It possesses deep, clear water, high and beautifully wooded
shores and sand beaches; a campers' playground were it for difficulty of access.

The only other considerable lakes noted were that at the intersection Shenango-
Sherlock-Lemoine-Lincoln ; and one whose easterly end is crossed by the meridian
Lemoine-Lincoln between VII and VIII M. Both these lakes find an outlet to
ihe east.

Soil.

The soil throughout the area through which the outlines pass is of a sandy
character, usually mixed with boulders or gravel, and cannot be classed as even
fair agricultural land. In places, notably along the Sherlock-Bonar meridian, a
very hard subsoil occurs, of a sand-clay mixture, at a depth of a foot, and effectually
prevents trees from obtaining an adequate roothold.

Timber.

Extending from ID/^ M. to VII14 M". on base line Sherlock-Lincoln, there
is an area of heavy timber, chiefly of jack pine of a diameter from six to twenty
inches. This is in thick stand, tall and good, and would afford excellent oppor-
tunity for log and tie making. Many of the trees of smaller size would cut out
five to six railway ties. Large single trees of spruce, poplar and birch also occur
in this area.

Considerable jack pine of merchantable size also grows along the south boundary
of Bonar west of the Chapleau River from IV M. westerly and extends northerly

94 EEPOET OF THE No. 3

along the west boundary of that township, where, however, it takes on a more
limby character, than that further east.

Eed pine up to twenty inches, and to the extent of perhaps a thousand trees,
was found growing on the peninsula separating the two arms of the lake opposite
V M. south boundary of Bonar, Exclusive of scattered trees of rare occurrence,
this was the only block of white or red pine observed, save for a clump of mature
white pine apparently of small extent, on the hill at IV M. + 50 chains on the
meridian Lemoine-Lincoln,

Outside of the two areas above described, the central southerly part of
Sherlock-Lincoln, and southwesterly part of Bonar, the forest throughout this
region, in so far as could be observed from outlines run, does not appear to offer
great encouragement for timbering operations. Everywhere large single trees are
met with, especially of spruce which furnishes some fine examples of tree growth,
and occasional large poplar and white birch. In some of the swamps, also, and
along the river banks, cedar from fifteen to twenty-four inches in diameter is
found growing. This is of fair length and sound, but no large area of this species
was seen.

The general character of the growth, however, is immature and would afford
but a small proportion of timber of logging size. This condition may be due
to fornier fires, where sufficient time has not elapsed to give a mature growth,
except for those trees which weathered the conflagration. In some localities it
would appear, however, to be due to a hard impenetrable subsoil; where as soon
as a tree attains a height of thirty to forty feet, it is in imminent danger of being
uprooted by the wind. This latter condition is specially evident along the Sherloek-
Bonar meridian. Indeed, through the whole area windfallen timber is much in
evidence and constitutes a serious fire menace. Almost everywhere the ground
is covered with a thick undergrowth; alder on the lower levels, moosewood and
hazel, on the higher lands.

To the southward and extending up to the lake expansion of the Trout Eiver
in the southwesterly part of Lincoln, which marks its northerly limit; the country
has been effectually fire scorched, and is occupied by young growth of a few
years. Crossing the south boundary of Bonar from V M. -j- 16 chains to 40^
chains and extending northeasterly to the lake shore; there is also a small burnt
area, but only in these two localities does the country show the effect of fires of
the past thirty or forty years, being uniformly green.

In common with much of the country to the south, this area would probably
find its most advantageous disposition by being included in forest reserve; and
the greater part of it by being allowed a considerable time to mature its timber
before logging operations are undertaken. This, of course, being contingent upon
the feasibility of properly protecting it from fire.

Traverse Survey up Lakes, Rivers and Portages in the Timagami Forest
Reserve, Districts of Sudbury and Nipissing,

Parry Sound, December 5th, 1919.

Sir, — I have the honour to submit the following report of the traverse survey
uplakes, rivers and portages in the Timagami Forest Reserve, Districts of Sudbury
and Nipissing under instructions bearing date April 30th, 1919.

I left Parry Sound with cook and one man May 15th, and proceeded by rail
to Timagami Station, reaching there in the afternoon of May 16th, where I was
met by assistant Coltham.

Owing to the high wind on Timagami Lake, I was compelled to secure the
services of a gasoline launch to transport my men and supplies to Bear Island
which I reached late Tuesday evening, thus compelling me to put up my men
and myself at the hotel for night. Owing to rain on May 17th, we were com-
pelled to seek the shelter of the hotel until evening, when we were able to pitch
our tents where we remained until the following Monday morning. At Bear
Island we secured the services of two Indians.

May 18th we proceeded to Gull Lake which we reached the same evening in
time to pitch our tents. After testing our micrometer by chained distances, we
commenced the traverse of Gull Lake the following Tuesday. This is a fair size
lake with numerous islands, covered with red and white pine. The shores of-
Gull Lake are Jiigh and very rocky and in some places are steep.

After completing this lake we traversed Skunk and Allan Lake, and also
made a chained traverse of the portages between these lakes.

On June the 3rd, we moved camp to Turtle Lake, where on the following
morning we obtained a Polaris observation. The shores of this lake are high
and rocky.

From here we moved camp back to Gull Lake, where we traversed the two
small lakes Long and Cummings.

June 16th we moved from Gull to Devil's Lake, which we commenced to
traverse on the following day. This lake appears very deep with high rocky
shores. There are the remains of a mining shack on the east shore of this lake.

The next lake to be traversed was Emerald, a beautiful lake with numerous
sand beaches and projecting points. The remains of a mining camp with numerous
buildings are found along the west shore.

On June 27th, we proceeded to make a traverse of the small lakes, Aleck,
Woods, Moses and Kibble. These lakes are situated among high hills with high
rocky shores, therefore, joined by portages. i^

From here we moved camp to Obabika Lake. This is the largest lake that
we encountered on our work and was visited by a large number of tourists during
the summer. The shores are generally high and rocky with numerous sand beaches
and a few marshy bays. Along the banks are red and white pine, cedar and
birch. On completing this lake, and smaller ones adjacent thereto, we made a
traverse of the Obabika River as far as the storage dam.

Our next lake was Wakimika whicli was reacbed by a river of the same name.
Tlio south end of this lake is marshy with high rocky shores elsewhere.

I'lom here we proceeded across two portages to Diamond Lake. The shores
of tbis lake are high and rocky with higli hills surrounding them.

96 EEPORT OF THE No. 3

Completing this lake we moved across a one and three-quarter mile portage
to Willow Island Lake. This is a long narrow lake with a few scattered islands.
The shores are generally rocky with numerous sand beaches. This lake is con-
nected by a narrow strait of water with Lake Sucker Gut, the survey of which
was completed on August 27th. From here we moved camp across many lakes
and portages to the Obabika Eiver, on arrival there- we traversed river to the
junction with the Sturgeon. The Sturgeon Eiver averages between one and one-
half to two chains wide with high clay banks ranging between six feet and fourteen
feet high, very few outcrops of rock are found. The land is a sandy loam and
appears well adapted for agricultural purposes. Considerable horse-power could
be developed on the Upper and Lower Goose Falls met with on this river.

Our next work was the traverse of Grassy Lake which was reached by canoe
and portage. The west end of this lake is marshy with sand beaches on the east
side. After completing the traverse of portage route to Devil's Lake, we con-
nected up our survey with previous work.

Along the shores of the lakes and rivers trees were blazed and marked with
a designating number as 1, 2, 3, etc., where shown.

On each island of any size a tree was blazed and marked with the numbers
" A," " B," " C," etc., as shown in plans.

Fish and Game.

Fish of many kinds, especially trout and black bass were found in the different
waters throughout the work.

Moose and red deer were very plentiful, with many signs of beaver workings.

Accompanying this report are my diary; plans of Jakes on linen, scale twenty
chains to an inch; field notes of part of line between Townships of MacBeth and
Clement; and my account in triplicate, which I trust you will find in order.

Sir, — I beg to herewith submit a report of the operations conducted by this
Department under the Northern & Northwestern Ontario Development Act,
Amending Acts 1916 and 1918.

Up to October 31r *-, 1919, a total of 2,001 applications for loans were received,
asking for an amount of $776,790.00, an average of $382.39 per application. With

every desire to co-operate and assist deserving settlers, careful consideration was
given to each individual request, and loans advanced, on the basis of security
offered in the way of improved land, where it was clearly shown the money could
be used to good advantage in the improvement of settlement conditions.

A total of 1,414 loans were made to settlers amounting to $442,256.00, an
average of $312.76, and in addition a loan of $12,000,00 was advanced to the
Sudbury Co-operative Creamery Co.^ Ltd., the loans being distributed over the
various districts as follows :

District. No. of Loans. Amount.

Algoma . . ' 17 $4,525 00

Kenora 115 33,545 00

Nipissing 64 22,750 00

Temiskaming 635 197,265 00

Thunder Bay 434 136,146 00

Totals 1,415 $454,256 00

Reports received and observations made would indicate that the loans granted
have been of great benefit to the settler struggling to get sufficient clearing to
enable him to stay at home and work the land, and to get some live stock with
which to carry on.

Repayment of loans has been very satisfactory as is evidenced by the fact
that almost 90 per cent, of the interest payments are up-to-date and payments
of principal have exceeded the amount due, on account of some loans being paid
oif in advance.

In conclusion, would direct your attention to the following memorandum giving
further details of operations carried on, and would say that appreciation of the
small loans granted under easy conditions of repayment has often been expressed
by the individual settlers concerned.

Algonquin Peovinoial Paek.

Algonquin Park, October 31st, 1919,

Honourable Sie^, — I beg to hand you my twenty-first annual report on the
Algonquin Provincial Park for the fiscal year ending October 31st, 1919.

Situated as Algonquin Park is, only 169 miles from the capital of Canada,
206 miles from Toronto, within easy journey of the principal cities of the United
States and crossed by two important railways, the Grand Trunk and Canadian
ISTational, it has become a very popular health and pleasure resort. The angler, too,
from all over the continent has found in the hundreds of lakes and the numerous
rivers which take their rise in the Park, sport that cannot be surpassed in any
part of America. Salmon trout are found in all our lakes, and speckled trout in
most of them and all our streams. During the past season some very fine speci-
mens were, taken, the largest'being a salmon trout weighing about 26 lbs. The
small-mouthed bass was introduced here a number of years ago and has proven
a great success. It has not* only furnished splendid sport within the park, but has
stocked the waters for a distance of a hundred miles tributary to the Madawaska
river. Bass are not native to these waters, but thrive wonderfully where introduced.

The Park covers an area of some 2,741 square miles or 1,754,240 acres, in
the district of Nipissing. It is a net-work of lakes and rivers, five important
rivers taking their rise here. It is densely wooded with pine, maple, birch, beech,
hemlock, spruce, etc.

That the object in setting aside this territory as a game preserve and breeding
cfround for wild life and a health and pleasure resort for the people of the

1919-20 DEPAETMENT OF LANDS, FOEESTS AND MINES. 99

Province has been attained, is beyond dispute. Thousands of visitors annually
enjoy the attractions of this health-giving region.

There are five hotels, all of which have been filled during the past season
to their utmost capacity, and many visitors had to be refused for want of room.
The largest hotel is the Highland Inn, situated on Cache Lake at Headquarters,
which is owned and operated by the Grand Trunk Eailway Company. Here
one hundred guests can be accommodated and many more in tents. In connec-
tion with the Inn are two camps, Nominigan, situated on Smoke Lake some
eight miles away, and Minising on Big Island Lake, ten miles distant. Each
of these consists of one main lodge with large dining room and assembly hall,
also a number of bedrooms, and several cottages that will each accommodate
eight people, and supplied with bathrooms, open fire-places, etc. The sanitary
arrangements are first class. Meals are served at the main lodge. Each of these
camps can take care of some sixty people; they are reached by stage from Algon-
quin Park station, or by canoe from Cache Lake and Joe Lake respectively.
Hotel Algonquin at Joe Lake, some seven miles west of headquarters, is owned
and operated by J. E. Colson. Here some fifty people can be accommodated,
and as many more in well furnished tents. Mowat Lodge, owned and operated
by J. S. Eraser, at Canoe Lake, is really a part of the old Gilmour headquarters,
and can accommodate some twenty-five people. In connection with each of these
places is a good outfitting store and boat and canoe liveries. The lakes most
frequented by the tourist are kept stocked annually; this year we put in here
something like one hundred thousand salmon trout fry, and as many small-mouthed
bass from the Government hatcheries, also a car of matured bass.

Game of all kinds is also very abundant. Otter, mink, marten and fisher
are on the increase, while all our lakes, rivers and creeks are full of beaver, the
annual increase of which runs into many thousands, the number taken out yearly
being scarcely perceptible. I am glad to report that those sent to stock the waste
lands of the townships of Lavant and Dalhousie have done welL James Park,
of Maple Eidge Farm, writes they have had no trouble protecting them, as the
residents take a lively interest in the matter, and there are- already several
healthy colonies. Those, too, sent to Eondeau Provincial Park, in Kent County,
have taken hold and have not only adapted themselves to the altered conditions,
but on my visit there this fall, a friend many miles from the Park told me he
knew of a colony who had built a dam and were making a home not far from
his place. The fishermen also tell me they are frequently seen swimming in
the Eau.

It is certain with the war over there will be a big demand for live beaver
for stocking purposes. The Board of Game Commissioners for the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania have asked for one hundred for the game preserves of that State.
Some of these have been sent and they arrived in first-class condition, but owing
to the late date at which the order was received, we will not be able to ship
them all this fall.

Deer and moose are increasing all over the Park, especially the deer, and
they afford a great deal of pleasure to the tourists as they pass through our
lakes and streams,' their tameness giving abundant evidence that they know they
are protected. These animals overflow and stock the many hunting grounds
surrounding the Park, thus keeping up the supply and thereby adding to the
revenue of the Province in the hunting licenses sold.

100 EEPOKT OF THE No. 3

Wolves, I regret to say, are still very much in evidence and very bold, not-
withstanding the large number killed each winter by our rangers. Of course
the abundance of game in the Park is responsible for this. The wolf soon learns
where food is most easily obtained. The men get a bounty of $20.00 for each
wolf killed, the skins going to the Government and being worth as much or more
than the bounty paid.

We took out the usual amount of fur this year, which was sold by tender
at the Parliament Buildings, bringing the substantial sum of $11,781.44. The
fur is taken out by our regular rangers, the only extra cost being for traps. Fishing
licenses were issued to the amount of $1,613.00, residents paying $3.00 and non-
residents $5.00. We also collected $30.00 for guide's licenses. This does not
include moneys paid direct to the Department.

We have several large boys' school camps in the Park, where from thirty
to fifty boys spend a healthful and in all ways a beneficial holiday. At Cache
Lake we have a large girls' school camp under the able management of Miss
F. L. Case, of Eochester, N".Y. Here sixty girls spend the summer holidays under
careful teachers and are instructed in woodcraft, canoeing and swimming. The
entire camp this year consisted of seventy-five people. There are also a number
of cottages on this and Canoe Lake, held under a twenty-one year lease, paying
under the old regulations $7.50 per year, and under the new $10.00. The school
camps pay $75.00 a year.' The sum of $592.00 was collected here this year for
rents, the hotels and some others paying direct to the Department. During the
summer and fall hundreds of anglers and canoeing parties are scattered all over
the Park tenting and canoeing from lake to lake.

Our staff consists of thirty-five men and superintendent and one housekeeper
at the rangers' quarters, whose husband takes care of the grounds, etc., at head-
quarters and helps the lineman keep the phone line in order. The duty of our
men during the trapping season is to patrol the beats under their charge in
order to prevent illegal trapping. In general, two rangers travel together, having
a stated section to look after in which they keep the portages cut out and the
shelter houses in order. These shelters are usually a day's journey apart, and
the practice is for the ranger to spend several days at each looking over adjacent
territory. We have built seven new shelters this year, one in each of the follow-
ing sections. Eagle Lake, South River, Opeongo, one near the boundary at
Aylwin Lake and three along the Canadian ISTorthern Eailway. All these are
good substantial buildings. Several of the other shelters have been re-roofed.
This work is done by the rangers during the summer months.

1 am especially glad to report no damage from fire during the past year.
Several fires were started, but the rangers got them out before they had time to do
any damage. The tank car was not called out at all this season. The telephone
line was a great assistance to us in getting to fires promptly.

A large quantity of wood for fuel was cut by the contractors and our staff
during the past season as follows: By contractor C. McConkey, 622 cords, all of
which is drawn out to the siding at Eainy Lake ready for shipment; by contractor
Tvol, 4,785 cords, all delivered at Potter Lake siding ready for shipment : by
Eandolph Macdonald Company, at Canoe Lake," 1.253 cords, drawn out to Canoe
Lake siding and 409 cords left in the woods to be drawn out during the winter
of 1920. Of the wood cut at this point, 15 cars have been shipped containing
2391/^ cords. At Source Lake siding (M.P. 306) the Macdonald Company has
drawn out 6,0161/2 cords and left 3,272^/2 cords in the woods yet to be drawn.

191S-20 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS, FORESTS AND MINES. 101

Of this wood ^2 cars have been shipped out, representing 1,165% cords, making
a total cut by the Macdonald Company of 10,951 cords, of which there remain at
the siding and in the woods 9,545% cords. At headquarters we took out with our
own men and some hired help 1,544 cords, 63 cars of which were shipped con-
taining 1,00'3 cords, the balance, 541 cords, being drawn out to the sand pit
siding ready for shipment. During the summer some of the staff were stationed
at each of these points to guard against loss by fire. Water barrels were also
placed along the line of railway; these our men kept full of water, our greatest
danger being from passing trains. We did not, however, lose a single cord.
I would strongly recommend that all this wood be disposed of during the coming
winter. It is now in fine shape, but if left another season will deteriorate on
account of dry rot, etc. That left in the woods should be drawn out on the
first snow.

Considerable work was done by our men at headquarters. The water system
has been extended so that we have a hydrant convenient to all the buildings.
The two houses and all the outbuildings were painted, and the year's wood and
ice cut and put in. The telephone line too was kept in order. We had very
little poaching. Fines were imposed to the amount of $150.00 after our men
got back to their beats, but before that poachers took advantage of the fact that
our men were away cutting wood.

I should like very much to see a good public hall erected here. It could be
done at comparatively little cost, our men doing the work during the summer
months. Such a place is badly needed for holding court, and during most of the
year we could have divine service, had we a place suitable, as several ministers spend
a great deal of time here. It would be convenient for public meetings and
lectures, holding poll and many other ways. The Government furnish large
dancing pavilions in much less important places. We do not want anything for
that purpose, but we do need a good hall badly. I trust you will give this matter
favourable consideration. The principal expense would be for material. We have
hundreds of visitors here from all over the globe, and I am confident such a
l)nilding would be much appreciated.

On the limits acquired by the Government from the Munn Lumber Company
in the Park, there are many million feet of the choicest hardwood. This has
now become valuable, and I would strongly recommend that some arrangement
be made whereby the matured timber could be judiciously taken out and the
Province get the benefit of the revenue. After timber matures there is no advantage
in leaving it stand, as it soon becomes diseased and the younger timber becomes
infected also. There is a very fine growth of young timber all tlirough the Park.
The timber to be taken out would consist of birch, maple, beech, ash, elm in
small quantities, and hemlock, spruce and balsam. A lot of this timber would be
convenient to the mills at Whitney and Bel wood ; the remainder would best be
manufactured by a portable mill. Or the whole could be sold to one party and mill
moved as the timber was cut out. There is such a large territory of the finest
liiirdwood, that it should be easy to dispose of it to good advantage.

Yours very truly,

Appendix No. 38.
QuETico Pkovincial Park,
Superintendent's Eeport.

Kawene P.O., October 31st, 1919.

Honourable Sie^ — 1 beg to submit my report for the fiscal year ending
October 31st, 1919.

The staff consisted this year of ten rangers, and this I think is not enough
to patrol the area properly. During the season the water has been exceptionally
low, making canoeing much more difficult, and necessitating the cutting of many
new portages and building of small dams. The Eva Lake narrows became so
low that it precluded the passage of our barge with supplies, and to overcome
this difficulty I had a dam built on the outlet which will hold the water at a
normal level, thus preventing trouble in the future.

Some small fires occurred in the Park this summer, but little damage was
done, as they ran in old cuttings mostly, and were got under control before reaching
timber of value. These fires were caused by lightning, except one which no doubt
was due to a camp fire left burning, but we could not ascertain which of three
parties was responsible.

Influenza caused us much worry and trouble in the forepart of the season.
Eanger Harry Mack contracted the disease, and died on Basswood Lake although
he had every attention and the best medical aid available.

Moose are very numerous and may be seen anywhere. Deer are also increas-
ing rapidly. Very few moose calves have been seen this summer. This has been
remarked by many in the vicinity, but is as yet unaccounted for. Beaver-dams
may be found on nearly all lakes and rivers. Smaller fur-bearing animals are
also increasing. Seven large timber wolves were brought in by my rangers last
. winter for which they received bounty. ISTo doubt many more were killed although
not found. These animals are terribly destructive on deer, especially in the
spring when a crust forms on the snow. The carcasses of deer partially devoured
are often seen, and at this time of the year the wolves seldom visit the carcass
a second time, preferring to kill a fresh victim.

Suitable men for rangers have been very hard to get this year, there being
a great demand for bushmen in this section. The Shevlin-Clarke Co., of Fort
Frances, are operating five lumber camps in the Park this season, mostly in the
vicinity of Quetico and Beaverhouse Lakes. Their output will be about twenty
millions.

We have had two very heavy snow storms since October 21st, followed by
cold weather, which stopped canoeing and blocked our trails with snow-laden
trees. All my available men have been working to clear our telephone line and
a trail to Kawene.

I am preparing to take a quantity of beaver and other fur from the Park
as instructed by you and expect a goodly catch.

One hundred and ninety-five dollars have been collected for Fishing and
Guides' Licenses this year, and no doubt many more tourists would visit here
Avere it more easy of access to the railway. I have received some communications

from officials of the C.N.R. Company regarding accommodation for tourists at
Kawene station, but nothing definite has been proposed.

Colonization and Immigration.

To the Honourable G. Howard Ferguson, Minister of Lands, Forests and Mines,
Toronto, Ontario: —

SiR;, — I have the honour to submit the following report of the Bureau of
Colonization for the fiscal year ending October 31st, 1919:

Number of letters received 9,381

Number of letters sent out 7,781

Literature dispatched includes —

" A New Land Nearby " '

" Farming Opportunities in Ontario "

" Hints to Settlers in Northern Ontario "

" Ontario Handbook " '28,568

" Greater Ontario "

" Heaton's Opportunities in Ontario "

" The Province of Ontario in the War "

Ontario maps ' 7,177

Railway certificates issued to settlers proceeding to Northern Ontario (in-
cluding 821 adults and 50 children) 725

The above figures, compared with those of last year, are indicative of the
growing interest in Old and Northern Ontario, particularly the latter. Our new
booklet, " Northern Ontario," was circulated extensively during the year, and we
conducted our usual newspaper and magazine advertising, but apart from these
mediums there has been an appreciable increase of enquiries from homeseekers
and others, mainly from the Western Provinces, the U.S.A. and Great Britain.

Our Northern Ontario exhibits at the Canadian National Exhibition, Toronto,
nnd the Central Canada Exhibition, Ottawa, proved greater features of attraction
than ever before. Continuous streams of interested visitors called daily and our
representatives dispensed information on the possibilities of the North in general.
A free-to-all motion picture show exhibiting the industries of the North, such
as agriculture, mining, lumbering, fishing, etc., also accompanying lectures by
a representative gave the visitors, many of whom had but little knowledge of the
vastness, resources or possibilities of this section of the Province, educative and

interesting entertainments. After seeing the " movies '' and the products, an
elderly farmer exclaimed, "Those roots, vegetables and grains are wonderful. 1
really can hardly believe it."

Now that the war is over, the outook in regard to immigration and coloniza-
tion has been changed to a very marked degree. Through our office at 163 Strand,
London, England, an energetic campaign is being carried on in the United
Kingdom with a view to attracting British capital, farmers, farm labourers and
domestic servants to our Province. There can be no doubt that considerable
capital, as well as many settlers, will be the result of advertising, lectures, cor-
respondence and personal interviews, as well as the distribution of thousands of
pieces of literature, together with the " boosting " that our soldiers gave Ontario
while abroad. Our Agent-General advises me that his office is besieged daily by
intending settlers and that his staff are forced to work overtime distributing
information. The work, of course, is confined mainly to securing farm labourers
and domestic servants. For a good many years this office has proved of great use
in connection with migration of people from Great Britain who desire to make
new homes for themselves in Ontario. A very efficient organization has been
perfected for assisting emigrants in their journey to Ontario. From time to
time personally conducted parties are arranged, each under the care of an ex-
perienced traveller. The first of these parties, since the beginning of the war,
recently arrived, consisting of sixty-three domestics. These girls were as fine a
type of womanhood as could be wished for, and all, I am sure, will prove their
worth.

During the coming year of reconstriiction this Bureau will undoubtedly be
instrumental in playing no small part in the upbuilding of this, the banner
Province of the Dominion.

I have the honour to be. Sir,

Your obedient servant,

H. A. Maodonell,

Toronto. October 31st, 1919.

ation and Forest Pathology.

indicates that amendments in two directions are desirable. In some instances
this summer it was found that local labour could not be engaged to fight fire no
matter what wage was offered, and such cases should be provided for in the Act
by a compulsory clause. Most modern forest fire legislation contains such a pro-
vision. A further amendment is needed to cover deliberate defiance of the Permit
Regulations. At present infringements can be punished by a fine only, and this
becomes merely nominal, in fact cheap land clearing, under certain conditions.
Accordingly the power of imprisonment should exist in the Act to st-rve as suffi-
cient deterrent.

(2) Organization and Personnel.

For administrative purposes the forest region of Ontario i& divided into four
inspectorates, as follows:

(1) Western Inspectorate — Rainy River, Kenora, Thunder Bay.

(2) Northern Inspectorate — Timiskaming (exclusive of Timagami), Clay Belt
area in northern Algoma.

(3) Central Inspectorate — Algoma, Sudbury, eastern Timagami, northern
Nipissing.

(4) Southern Inspectorate — South of French and Mattawa Rivers.

The above territory was handled as 30 ranger districts with a field force
composed of: 1 Superintendent, 4 Inspectors, 30 Chief Rangers, 49 Deputy Chief
Rangers, 1,014 Rangers (during peak of season).

The fire season opened late, the weather being comparatively wet, so that
men went on duty slowly. In April, a small force was engaged in getting equip-
ment ready and the work as a whole organized. On May 1, there were 152 on the
pay lists, and this number was slowly increased so that by the middle of May
one-half of the staff were on duty, and by the end of the month the force numbered
900. This represented a considerable saving as compared with May of last year.
During the critical months of June, July, and August the staff averaged 1,014 men
daily. With September the weather once more became favourable, and the field
force was gradually reduced, being down to half strength by the 18th, and number-
ing 126 by September 30. A small number was kept on at work into October to
overhaul and store equipment.

The average daily force was: During April, 26; May, 548; June, 1,007;
July, 1,025; August, 1,009; September, 611; October, 29. The total number
of persons employed for at least a part of the season was 1,338; of these, 276
resigned after a time, and 51 were dismissed for various reasons.

The expenditure for the fiscal year was as follows, the figures for 1918
(rounded off) being given for comparison.

(3) Fires.

• The summer of 1919 was characterized by an unusually prolonged drought,
and the fire season was a bad one. The early part of May was wet, but after
that came three months which were abnormally dry. Under such conditions fires
became more numerous than usual, and also assumed much larger proportions.
This is seen in the number of fires reported for June, July and August — 414, 613,
and 377 fires respectively — as against 296, 141 and 193, the average for 1918 and
1917.

The situation became serious first in the Clay Belt region. From the settlers'
point of view this season was more satisfactory than either 1918 or 1917 for land
clearing operations, because conditions were favourable to a " good burn." From
the nature of things the activity in land clearing increases as the weather, con-
ditions develop which render it more dangerous. Thus, almost as many permits
were issued in the first half of June as were granted during the whole of that
month last year. It must be kept in mind that the welfare of such new agri-
cultural settlements is bound up with land clearing by fire, and it is necessary
to adopt a considerable latitude of risk in order not to hamper pioneer farming
operations unduly. In an average year one counts on occasional showers which
help to extinguish the dying fires which are seldom absolutely out when the permit
expires. But this season it was otherwise. The situation developed rapidly, for
some 4,300 fires had been set out under permit, a large percentage of which had
not died out after the ordinary way. By June 21, existing permits had been
cancelled and the issuance of new ones stopped. No rain fell, however, till the
early part of August. The result was that old, clearing fires gradually enlarged
and met, and that sparks from these set fresh areas of slash on fire. Added to
these, of course, was a larger number than usual due to railways, campers, etc.
The situation was enlarged by certain persons taking advantage of the existing
confusion to defy the permit suspension order. In fact, the number of fires
reported from the Northern Inspectorate, despite the small area, reached almost
one-quarter of the number for the Province. The situation was aggressively faced
and fires fought vigorously everywhere. The long drought, however, made water
scarce in many regions, aiul even the peaty soil turned up in trenching around
fires at last became a case of merely adding more fuel. Considerable loss in build-
ings and crops occurred, but no loss of life. There is no doubt that the permit
system in enabling control of setting out fire averted a more serious result.

The total area reported burned over in .the Northern division was 58,383
acres or 6.3 per cent, of the whole for the Province. Considerable of this acreage
had been previously l)urned in 1'916 and 1911. The largest fires were in th^
Cochrane and Timmins ranger districts. Among the townships suffering most were
O'Brien, Shackleton, Calder, Leitch, Blount, Clute, Lamarche, Brower, Fox, New-
market, Dundonald, Matheson, Bristol, Ogden, Mountjoy and Tisdale. In the

1919-20 DEPABTMENT OF LANDS, FOEESTS AND MINES. 109

Matheson ranger district the townships of Clergue, Carr, Playfair and Pacaud
had considerable fire.

But while much damage was done in the Northern Inspectorate it was rela-
tively insignificant when one turns to a consideration of the fire record in the
Central Inspectorate. The fires in the north were largely on lands being cleared
or which will eventually be cleared for farming purposes. From the one stand-
point of the timber supply of the Province they are of less concern than in the
case of those regions which are to remain centres of timber production. The
Central Inspectorate embraces roughly the middle portion of the white pine belt
in Ontario, and little of the soil is suited to agricultural pursuits. Fire in this
region means not only the loss of standing timber, but also the growing crop for
future logging.

In this inspectorate the area reported burned over totalled 618,496 acres.
The largest fires occurred in the Chapleau, Sudbury, Webb wood and Soo Eanger
Districts. In the strip of country between Lake Nipissing and Sault Ste. Marie,
lying south of the Mississagi forest reserve, approximately 523,000 acres were
reported burned over — in other words, around 13 per cent, of this region. Large
general fires occurred in the townships of Curtis, Gillmor, McMahon, Morin, 201,
195, Bridgland, Wells, Grassett, 182, 175, 169, 168, 167, Mack, Striker, 145, 144,
143, Proctor, 132, 131, 130, 129, 120, Bigelow, Dunlop, jVIerritt, Craig, Moncrieff,
Totten, Cascaden, Trill, Dowling, Foster, 91, 90, 83, 82, 10, Blezard, Neelon, Dill,
Dryden, Cleland, Burwash, Street, Hawley, Hagar, Appelby, Latchford, Bertram.
In quite a number of cases whole townships were swept over.

The Western and Southern Inspectorates also suffered severely — to the extent
of 181,458 acres and 63,824 acres, respectively. In the former, the Nipigon, Kainy
River and Thunder Bay districts suffered most; and in the latter, Muskoka and
Parry Sound.

The total area reported burned over in the Province in 1919 was 922,161
acres, or 1,441 square miles. It is hard to realize what such an area is, but a
conception may be formed by trying to visualize a strip of country six miles wide
from Toronto to North Bay.

No complete estimates of the loss are available. Included in the total burned
area are 247,266 acres of land classed as timbered, mostly with white pine. At
the extremely low estimate of 1,000 feet per acre, this would mean as much timber
as the Province received dues on last year. Of course, some of the damaged
timber will be salvaged. Heavy losses were also sustained by lumber concerns by
the burning of camps, logging equipment, supplies and sawmills. These losses,
of course, must ultimately be passed on to the consumer.

In addition, there were burned over 251,355 acres classed as " logged over
with some timber left," and 233,196 acres of young growth; in other words,
around 485,000 acres of cut-over lands. The loss here is very high because it
means the wiping out of a large potential crop without any salvage. To put that
crop back artificially by planting would take at least $5,000,000, to say nothing
of the loss in time as represented in the age of the burned stands of young trees.

Before going into a discussion of the situation presented above it may bo
well to point out that forest protection in Ontario has three distinct phases. In
the Clay Belt country the yearly expenditure is proportionately high because of
the permit system and the scattered nature of this work. It is not justifiable on
timber account alone, because most of the region will not be kept as a permanent
timl)er area, l)ut will pass to farming, A part of the cost of protection in this

110

EEPOET OF THE

No. 3

district is chargeable to making life and property in general safe. Another phase
appears in connection with land under license; here the lumberman's timber must
be protected because he pays a fire tax, while the Crown is further interested in
the unmerchantable young growth on the limit. The third phase is to be found
in the immense area of cut-over land, largely reverted to the Crown. Protection
of this is necessary if we are to have any timber from which to derive revenue in
the future. In fact, expenditure on this account is more justifiable than for
unlicensed timber, because it is usually possible in case of fire damage to arrange
for logging the latter at once. Adequate protection of cut-over lands is expensive,
because they are acreages of the highest hazard owing to the logging slash. For
the same reason the fires are extremely hot and resulting damage to the young
trees is high. The only definite information that we have regarding the effect
of repeated forest fires upon the restocking of pine lands in Ontario is derived
from a report on a study, a few years ago, of 85,000 acres in the southern part
of the pinery. This study showed that the numbers of young pine trees one
inch and above in diameter surviving after fire were as, 110, 14, 7 and 3 trees per
acre, according as the area was burned severely, once, twice, three or many times.
These figures demonstrate the great damage done by fire to cut-over lands. As
already pointed out, some 485,000 acres of such lands were burned over this
season. Protection of this type of forest land is by far the cheapest method of
producing forests, even if general tree planting were within the financial ability
of the Province.

Railway Fires. — Of the fires occurring along railway lines, 659 fires werci
attributed to railway origin, either defective locomotives or employee carelessness.
This was 37 per cent, of the total number of fires reported for the season, a gratify-
ing improvement over the record for 1918 and 1917. But, as the table of loco-
motive inspections farther on shows, there is opportunity for better results yet,
since there is no reason why all companies cannot reach the standard of the best:
one in this respect. >

Other Causes. — The tourist, surveyor, prospector, fisherman, berry picker,
picnicker, etc., were responsible for 9.2 per cent, of the total fires. Settlers caused
7.7 per cent, of the fires. In all, 23 persons were prosecuted for violations of the
Permit Regulations, and convictions secured in 20 cases. The percentic increase in
fires whose origin was not determined is a direct result of the general fire condi-
tions of this season.

Area Burned. — Thirty per cent, of all fires did not exceed one-quarter acre in
size, and nearly 60 per cent, of them did not get beyond 5 acres in extent. The
corresponding figures for last year were 40 and 75 per cent, respectively. Over
10 per cent, of the fires exceeded 500 acres.

The total area reported burned over was 932,161 acres, classified thus: —

EEPOET OF THE

No. 3

(4) Permits.

Forest protection in a considerable portion of the northern Clay Belt is
largely effected through control of land clearing fires by the permit system. This
system is costly, since a large force of rangers is required owing to the scattered
nature of the work. Permits were issued in 136 townships. This is not such
a large area if the work were consolidated, but scattered townships require the
same number of men to issue permits whether the number used in a season be
large or small. For instance, there were 80 townships in which not over 25
permits per township were issued in the whole season ; and there were only 25
townships in which more than 100 permits each were called for. As time goes
on, however, and a township becomes more cleared and mostly patented, there
seems no reason why the municipality should not be called upon to provide for
the protection of its own property.

The number of permits issued the past season was relatively small since the
weather and fire conditions led to the general suspension of permits from June 21
until into August. During that period permits were issued only in a few localities
where conditions made it safe. In all, 6,635 permits to burn over 26,790 acres
were issued, as compared with 9,590 permits in 1918, and 3,486 in 1917.

(5) Improvement Work.

The character of the fire season permitted very little attention to new pro-
jects along the lines of improvement work. Time was found for very little tele-
phone, trail or cabin construction. The new headquarters buildings for the
Nipigon reserve were completed, an equipment storehouse built at Fort Frances,
and a combined storehouse and boathouse at Kenora.

(6) Equipment.

With the opening of this season steps were taken to have all equipment, such
as canoes, railway velocipedes, etc., and buildings painted the same colour and
after a uniform pattern. Also all equipment was stencilled " Ontario Forestry
Branch,^' and branded or stamped " 0. F. B." with steel letters. In addition,
all main articles of equipment such as canoes, boats, railway velocipedes, railway
motor cars, tents, etc., were numbered on a definite system, to facilitate keeping
records and to learn the life of different manufacturers' goods.

The major equipment added this year included: fifty canoes, seven large
power boats, eighty tents, four hundred pairs of blankets, forty-five railway veloci-
pedes, three railway motor cars.

The total equipment necessary for such a large organization requires the
maintenance of about $100,000 of stock. The Branch now has 10 Ford auto
trucks, 10 power cruisers (30 feet and over), 6 smaller power boats, 400 canoes
and small boats, 65 railway velocipedes, 8 railway motor cars, 430 tents, 2,000
pairs of blankets, 5 portable fire pumps with 7,700 feet of hose, besides very large
numbers of camp stoves, axes, shovels, tools, cooking utensils, etc. There is still
a shortage in spare equipment which should be on hand for emergency crews of
fire fighters.

It may be in order to point out that provision for storage of such a large
equipment calls for much space. Considerable warehouse space is rented yearly,
but the following storehouses have been erected during the past three seasons :
Gowganda, Gogama, Bisco, Cochrane, Nipigon, Fort Frances, Kenora. In addition
to the above seven main storehouses, a number of boathouses, railway motor car
houses, truck garages, hose houses, etc., have been built.

In addition to the usual quantity of fire signs, 12,000 calendars and 10,000
pencils with 10,000 rulers were sent out for educational effect. The calendars
were of two types, one specially designed for distribution in the Clay Belt, and
the other for tourist country. The pencils and rulers bearing appropriate fire
warnings were placed in all the northern schools.

(7) Railway Inspection Under B. R. C.

Two inspectors devoted their whole time to the inspection of fire protective
appliances on locomotives, because of the large percentage of fires of railway orijjin.
Tbe railway mileage through forest section in Ontario is very great, approximately
5,000 miles, and more locomotive inspections are made in this Province than in
the other provinces of Canada combined. A change wa^; made for the past season
in the basis of payment for inspection, with the result that 10 per cent, more
inspections than in 1918 were made in 80 per cent, of the time, so that the average
cost per inspection fell to $2.07 as compared with $2.59 in 1918.

Average cost per inspection $2.07 (as compared with $2.59 for 1918)

In all, 1,012 inspections were made of 571 locomotives, and of these, 221
inspections or about one in five showed fire protective appliances defective in one
respect or another. This is a decided improvement over the years 1917 and 1918
for which the average was 30 per cent, defective. Further, the record for this
year would have been very much better if the C.P.R. had kept its engines up to the
standard of the other roads. C.P.E. locomotives were defective to the extent
of almost 30 per cent., and in 1918 it was 36.4 per cent. If one road can keep
its defective locomotives down to 11 per cent, of inspections, it should be possible
for all other roads to reach the same record; the matter is entirely one of organiza-
tion. This matter is of extreme importance in Ontario because of the large
number of fires of r.:ilway origin.

Because of the unsatisfactory results in past seasons with special patrolmen
put on by the C.N.R. between Pembroke and Nipigon as a Board requirement, this
year it was arranged that the Forestry Branch take over the work, the company
paying part cost. The arrangement has been justified by the relatively low fire
damage along the C.N.E. this season.

Thirty-six inspections of locomotives on private lines used in logging, etc.,
were made and the owners required to be brought up to the equivalent of B. E. C.
specifications under authority of the Provincial Act.

(8) Summary.

The disastrous fire season we have experienced calls for a close examination.
The season was undoubtedly a difficult one for fire control, but this Branch feels
that such a record is below the attainable ; certainly it is below the average of
several organizations protecting forest areas of similar magnitude.

As to origin of fires, a study of our statistics for the last three years shows
a general uniformity. Apparently we may expect the following situation as
regards causes :

1919-20 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS, FOEESTS AND MINES. 117

A reduction in the number of fires traceable to carelessness in land clearing
and as regards camp fires will be a matter of slow education. Lightning fires
as a rule do not reach large proportions. While fires caused in summer logging
show a small percentage, these fires are frequently very costly. To reach the
camps in operation it is necessary to pass over tote roads which are frequently piled
up with slash from the previous season's operation. The question of general
slash disposal should be considered, but in the meantime regulations should be
adopted requiring the disposal of slash along main tote roads, about camps and
dump grounds. Summer operators should also be required to give special assist-
ance in fire patrol during dangerous periods.

The machinery for reducing railway fires exists. Various protective measures
are required of the railways such as special patrol, clearing the right-of-way and
keeping up proper protective appliances in locomotives, yet within a few feet of
the right-of-way timber operators are allowed to create fire hazards which make
fire prevention almost impossible when small grass fires get away from the right-
of-way. Again, slash disposal within reasonable distance of railways is imperative
if the problem is to be solved. Accordingly, we conclude that the problem is one
of eliminating the causes as much as possible and then controlling fires which
do get a start.

The public as a whole seem very slow to realize that forest fire protection
differs in no way from general property fire protection as provided for in cities.
The same principles underlie both — reduction of inflammable hazard, familiarity
with conditions in all parts of the area under protection, early detection and speed
in reaching the scene of the fire, and fighting by men specially trained for that
work. Applying these in turn to forest property, we note that the hazard must
remain high till the operation of logging carries with it as an integral part the
disposal of the slash nuisance it creates. Early detection and early fighting is a
matter of lookout towers, telephone systems, and strategic systems of roads and
trails; while fighting forest fires is no more the work of an amateur than fighting
city fires.

These considerations lead to the argument that forest protection calls for
specially qualified men. The direction of the protective work in any district
must be in the hands of a man who knows the basic principles of fire protection;
who will make it his business to become thoroughly familiar with conditions of
timber, hazard, settlement, etc., in every part of his district; who is capable of
planning and constructing a system of lookout towers, telephone lines, roads, trails,
etc., so as to make his district relatively safe at the least cost. Along with these,
he must be able to follow instructions, to give an intelligent report on any field
matter, to estimate burned timber, to administer the forest laws, Railway Act, etc.
In short, he must have been previously trained in the principles and work of
forest protection.

Turning to the existing system in Ontario, we find that each spring a tem-
porary organization of around 1,000 men is built up, only to be disbanded every
fall. During the last three seasons about one-half the ranger force has been new,
inexperienced men each year. Any protection system must depend upon a per-
manent skeleton organization for efficiency. Moreover, this skeleton force must
be made up of men with capabilities of the order outlined in the preceding para-
graph. This is impossible if appointments are made on any other basis than the
applicant's fitness for the work.

118 EEPOKT OF THE No. 3

Forest fire control in Ontario will be at a standstill until it is recognized:

(1) That forest protection is a specialized business requiring a permanent
trained organization, and

(2) That no organization can give efficient service without the adoption of
the merit system in making appointments and promotions.

II. Eeforestation.

Reforestation is a term which is used in Ontario, in rather a loose way, with
various meanings. Eeforestation is frequently spoken of in a broad way to mean
the regulation of timber operations to protect the young or second growth; that is,
securing a new crop by leaving parent seed trees or undersized young growth
which will eventually develop a future harvest. This may be spoken of as natural
reforestation to distinguish it from artificial reforestation where a new crop is
secured by planting either seed or young plants.

Ontario presents two distinct problems in regard to reforestation:

The securing of continuous wood crops on the Crown lands of the Laurentian
plateau which comprise at least fifty million acres of northern Ontario.

The reforesting of the larger waste areas and assisting and encouraging the
private waste land and woodland owner of southern Ontario.

The writer believes that artificial reforestation in the Laurentian plateau of
the north is not feasible at present, although many districts within this region are
at present almost destitute of the more valuable species such as pine and spruce.
Before any consideration can be given this problem we must secure some assurance
of reasonable protection for this area. Owing to . the excessive cost of artificial
reforesting we must do everything possible to regulate timber operations so that
natural reproduction will be given some chance to insure future crops. During
this last season we have had whole townships swept over with fire. To re-stock
a thirty-six square mile township with pine or spruce would cost at least $100,000.00.
Our first problem in the forest regions of the Laurentian plateau is to secure
a forest organization which will give adequate fire protection and regulation of
cutting in order to insure natural re-stocking.

Turning to the problem in southern Ontario, where the land has largely left
the Crown, we find that there exists only about 9 per cent, of woodland of inferior
quality with many townships having less than 5 per cent.

In addition to the inferior wood lots and smaller waste areas of the farm,
there exist throughout older Ontario many large areas of waste land almost devoid
of tree growth, and in many cases composed of blowing sand.

While the industries of southern Ontario must largely depend upon the north
for timber supplies, yet it is imperative that an effort be made to reforest these
local waste areas if we are to secure a future wood supply. The writer believes
that this problem can best be solved by the creation of demonstration forest stations
throughout older Ontario similar to that now established in Norfolk county.
These stations will not only reclaim waste lands but will supply planting material
to private owners and will be a local demonstration of reforestation.

At the provincial forest station in Norfolk County we have about three
hundred acres of forest plantations in various stages. These plantations are thriv-
ing and have become splendid demonstrations of what may be expected from work
of this kind. The influence of this work is demonstrated in the fact that a large
number of private owners in this district have taken advantage of the government

1919-20 DEPAETMENT OF LANDS, FORESTS AND MINES. 119

distribution of trees and have made sonie very good plantations on Avaste portions
of their farms.

This last autumn a three-acre mixed hardwood plantation was made with the
intention of experimenting on the relative values of the various hardwoods in
artificial reforesting.

During the past season about forty thousand trees were shipped out to private
planters. This is far below our pre-war output as our distribution at one time
had reached about half a million trees. We have had difficulty in securing reliable
seed of the kind of trees desired in connection with this work and it will take at
least two years to reach a reasonable supply of nursery stock.

The work at this station, which has been held up during the war, should now
be placed on a better basis. This will require improvements in buildings, a better
watering system, more seed bed areas, in fact, a general enlargement of the plant
if the growing requirements for trees are to be met.

The following is an approximate list of the nursery stock at the Provincial
Forest Station in Norfolk County:

Scotch Pine seedlings 600,000

Scotch Pine transplants 40, 000

White Pine transplants 30,000

Larch seedlings 50,000

Larch transplants 40, 000

Miscellaneous conifers, as red pine, jack pine, cedar, etc 80,000

Miscellaneous hardwoods, as elm, sugar maple, white ash, black

walnut, etc 100,000

In addition to the above stock, fifty bushels each, of red acorns and black
^walnut were collected and planted this autumn.

Hi. Forest Pathology.

The work in connection with tree diseases has been chiefly confined to the
eradication of Ribes (currants and gooseberries) at the forest station in Norfolk
land the investigations of Dr. Faull into diseases affecting trees in the Timagami
region.

As indicated last year the general eradication of diseased Eibes cannot be
carried out on a large scale throughout Ontario, but our efforts should be directed
towards local control wherever white pine values warrant the expenditure. The
work of eradication is being carried on at the Provincial Forest Station in Norfolk
County. About 500 acres have been cleared of Ribes and it is expected that white
pine can be grown at this station with little danger of infection. Last year the
Department inaugurated work of investigation into the diseased condition of pine
in the Timagami region. This work was continued this season and I am glad to
report that valuable information has been obtained in respect to the " needle
blight " which has become so prevalent in parts of Ontario. A report upon this
work follows :

Report of Dr. J. H. Faull for 1919.

Sulphur Fumes.

In the last week of May a trip was made into Cleland Township in the
District of Sudbury for the purpose of observing the effects on the coniferous
forest of sulphur fumes from winter roast beds located from four to six miles
distant. The same area had been visited the preceding September in order to

i:eO EEPOET OF THE No. 3

check over conditions with respect to the needle blight of white pine — of which at
that time there was little trace. Notes were made then on individual serially
marked trees with healthy new leaves for reference the following spring. The
forest as a whole was found to be in a much better condition than in the spring of
1918, the date of my first inspection. None of the marked trees had undergone
any visible change, their foliage looking apparently as green as in the foregoing
autumn. It was reported that roasting had not been begun until after the winter
had set in, and had been discontinued before the oncoming of spring thaws. It
seems not improbable that where damage has resulted in the past, it has been
at temperatures above that of the freezing point. Strangely enough, there appears
to be no definite information in the literature based on experiments with respect
to the susceptibility of white pine and others of our native conifers to sulphur
fume injuries at the lower temperatures.

"Needle Blight" of White Pine.

Considerable attention was given during the summer to '' needle blight " or
" leaf blight " of the white pine, concerning which so many inquiries have been
made by lumbermen through your office, in continuation of observations instituted
in 1918. Throughout I was accompanied by Mr. A. W. McCallum, M.A., B.Sc.F.,
who was sent up as an observer by the Federal Government.

The " needle blight " is most abundant in the northern parts of the Province,
but it also occurs in various other parts of Ontario, and in Quebec. Judging from
inquiries received, it has widely attracted the attention of owners of white pine
and has been the cause of some alarm. Reports of its occurrences and specimens
have been sent in from Norfolk County, Barrie, Toronto, Ottawa, Nipissing Dis-
trict and elsewhere. The general situation, however, is better than in 1918.

The blight appeared this year in the latter half of June, just after the young
needles were beginning to grow out, and as has been formerly observed was
restricted to the new growth. The sequence of events was identical with the
developments of 1918, although the blight developed almost a month earlier this
year than last as there was a difi'erence of about four weeks in the two seasons
between the times of leafing. The new needles, usually on all parts of the tree,
soon after they have emerged from the bud turn lighter in colour at the tips and
then redden from their tips downwards. This process goes on for two weeks or
more, the needles meanwhile growing in length from their bases; the resultant
discoloration involves from a quarter to three-quarters, more or less, of each of
the affected leaves. There is a remarkable uniformity in the extent of the dis-
coloration in each tuft and each branch. No causal agent is evident in the diseased
needles.

At first sight it appeared as though the blight was as severe as last year. In
the Timagami Forest Reserve, where some hundreds of trees had been serially
marked with metal tags or otherwise located, the frequency of blighted trees in
some parts appeared to be undiminished. Thus standing on the observation tower
at Bear Island and looking over miles of country all about, it was not possible
to decide that there had been any marked amelioration. Everywhere there were
scattered the bright reddened trees among the normal sombre conifers. A careful
review was then made of the ground prepared the preceding summer.

Beginning with Rondeau Park on Lake Erie, four blighted white pines had
been found there in 1918 — no others were discovered. Mr. Geo. Coldworthv. the

1919-20 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS, FORESTS AND MINES. 131

'Chief Ranger, who had accompanied me when these trees had been located, covered
tOur course again in August and forwarded a report, backed up by specimens,
[showing that the same four trees were again badly blighted, and one other in the
[game neighbourhood.

Turning to the Timagami Forest Reserve, where in some areas a large per-
[centage of the trees of all ages had shown the blight in 1918, and where extensive
observations had been made, the results afford surer ground for the conclusions
; arrived at. The trees examined fall into three general classes — young trees . with
[trunks up to 3 or 4 inches in diameter; large trees, many of them mature, with
trunks 10 inches and upwards, and those that lie between. In the first instance
it was found that there had been a general recovery. Thus on Island No. 976
where 75 per cent, or more had been affected in a count of all the young white
pines on the eastern half of the island — a total of 400 trees, not more than 10 per
cent, displayed blight this year. Those of the middle class exhibited greater
variation. Some were again severely blighted, while others showed no signs of
blight, and between these two conditions there were all grades. Almost invariably
the recovered trees of this size were clothed with abnormally short needles, and
often the foliage was scantier and paler than in healthy trees. The large trees,
however, showed less than 1 per cent, recovery, and there was a mortality of about
5 per cent. Likewise there were scattered cases in this class of trees of what
appeared to be new instances of blight; at all events, some vividly blighted trees
were numbered for the first time that had been passed by in 1918 — probably
because of uncertainty as to their condition at that time.

A renewed effort has been made to discover the cause of " needle blight."
As there are no causal organisms to be detected in the affected crowns, several
hundred inoculations were carried out on healthy twigs of healthy trees with the
juice from diseased foliage. Certain so-called physiological diseases are known
to be contagious and such disorders have been communicated in this way. No
results followed. The season before interlocking diseased and healthy branches
of contiguous trees had been grafted at the point of contact. An examination
showed that the branches had formed an organic union but that the virus, if there
be one, had not been transmitted. The bark was then carefully examined through-
out the entire extent of trunk and roots of diseased trees, and then stripped and
the exposed wood examined. No indications of disease were manifest. The first
signs of organic trouble were discovered in the root tips.

An examination of root tips of trees is an arduous business. Two methods
were followed. First, the root system of a six inch blighted tree was exposed
by carefully following the main roots outward from the base of the trunk care-
fully disentangling the branches and picking away the adhering soil and vegetation.
Secondly, several isolated small blighted trees with trunks one to three inches in
diameter were removed in their entirety from the shallow rock sub-soil character-
istic of that region, and a number of healthy trees of similar size as checks. The
root systems of these trees were carefully washed free from soil by vigorous im-
mersion in water. A study of the cleaned roots located the seat of the trouble.
The roots of the check trees were normal, the root tips were white, frequent and
vigorous. By contrast the tips of the main branches of the root system of the
diseased trees were almost invariably killed back from 4 to 12 inches or more.
Some of the smaller lateral branches were not so clearly dead, but few appeared
in good condition, and not one healthy main root tip was uncovered in the entire
lot. It was at once apparent that the absorbing areas of the root system had

122 EEPOET OF THE No. 3

been destroyed. Therefore, it comes about that when there is a sudden increase
in the water requirements of the plant, as at the time of leafing, the absorbing
organs are unable to supply the demand; the succulent young needles are the
first organs of the crown to exhibit the resulting distress. It also seems apparently
sound to assume that young trees are able the more quickly to repair the damage
done; and under favourable weather conditions, as in the summer of 1918, to
produce new roots in sufficient amount to provide an increased, if not fully
sufficient, flow of water for the growing leaves and tissues of the next season.
The older, more nearly mature, trees, and especially as is so often the case if
handicapped by a certain amount of butt rot, are incapable of recovery, or if so,
must recuperate more slowly. It will be necessary to follow our trees of this
group for a few years, and incidentally in the case of recovery to note the effect
on wood accretion.

The cause of the disturbance to the root system remains undemonstrated.
Drought seems the most reasonable explanation. It may be possible to test this
theory out by a simulation of drought conditions and by a study of the course
of these outbreaks in connection with the rainfall and temperature reports for
affected districts. That severest blight occurs on shallow and on sandy soil
appears significant in this connection. A more detailed account of needle blight
will l)e prepared after the completion of the present investigation.

The following conclusions may be tentatively offered:

1. " Needle blight '' is at present the most serious of the needle troubles of
our white pine.

2. In some localities it will kill a good many trees and seriously retard the
growch of others- — to such an extent as to be reckoned with in determining the
time at which a stand has attained maximum productivity.

8. It is at least a menace to young stands.

4. Young trees recover, older trees may recover though more slowly ; a variable
percentage of old trees die — according to observations so far, up to 5 per cent.

5. It is now possible to distinguish between sulphur fume injury, or winter
injury on the one hand, and needle blight on the other,

6. The blight is not of biotic origin.

7. The blight is not a communicable physiological disease.

8. The blight is not contagious.

9. The blight is related to root injury — possibly due to drought.

Survey of Diseases of Timber Trees in Ontario.

A more extended survey was made of the diseases of the timber trees in
Ontario, especially in the Timagami Forest Reserve. At least two new to science
were discovered, and many not before reported for Ontario were found. Eesearches
on some of those are now in progress. A first contribution to the list follows
under the technical names of the causal agents. Collections were made of the
various forms, both of the fungi and of the diseased hosts, and they have be6n
catalogued and stored for future reference.

In addition, valuable collections have been received from the United States
laboratories of plant pathology, from agents of the Canadian Conservation Com-
mission, and the Forest Products Laboratory, Montreal, including a collection of
fungi on diseased spruce pulpwood from Thorold, Ontario, and individual con-
tributions from various other sources. Exchanges in some cases have been effected.

1919-20 DEPAETMENT OF LANDS, FORESTS AND MINES. 123

Balsam (Abies balsamea (L.) Mill.)

Armillaria mellea (Vahl.) Quel. Not infrequent on the roots and also found
causing heart rot of trunk — the latter an apparently unreported occur-
rence.

Bjerkandera adusta (Willd.) Karst. A form common on hardwoods, but rare
on conifers.

Calyptospora columnaris (A. & S.) Kiihn. This needle rust is common on
balsam, and on its alternate hosts, the blueberries (Vaccinium), in the
Timagami Forest Eeserve, though not especially injurious. It appears
to have been reported on balsam not more than once or twice previously
from America.

Coriolus hdlsameus (Pk.) Murr. Not uncommon on dead wood. For the
first time reported as the cause of a heart-rot.

Frost injuries. A great many small dead branches on living balsams are
common throughout the Timagami Forest Eeserve. An examination of
the bases of these branches discloses a wound apparently caused by the
gnawing of some insect, at the end of the growing season. Frost pre-
sumably completes the destruction.

Fuscoporia marginella (Peck) Murr. Eare on fallen trunks.

Hyphoderma. An interesting form, apparently the cause of a needle disease.

Lophodermium nervisequum, Fries. Frequent on the living needles and some-
times causing complete defoliation.

Macrophoma. Common on the needles but whether or not the cause of their
death remains undecided.

Melampsorella elatina (A. & S.) Murr. This rust which is the cause of the
witches' brooms on balsam is not rare.

Phaeolus sistotremoides (A. & S.) Murr. (Polyporus Schweinitzii Fries).
The cause of by far the worst disease of balsam and of most other conifers
of the Timagami Forest Eeserve. Some stands are fully "^5 per cent,
buttrotted by this fungus.

Porodaedalm pini (Thore) Murr. (Trametes Pini Fries). A common and
important cause of heart rot of many conifers; in Ontario it is occasion-
ally the cause of heart rot of balsam.

Pucciniastrum pustulatum (Pers.) Diet. Common, and found both on the
needles of the balsam and the leaves of its alternate host, the fireweed
( Epilobium angustif olium ) .

SpongipelUs horealis (Fries) Pat. (Polyporus borealis Fries). Cause of a
heart rot, apparently not frequent.

Uredinopsis mirabilis (Peck) Magn. Common on the leaves of the balsam
and its alternate host, the ferns (especially the beech fern, Phegopteris
dryopteris).

Valsa Friesii (Duby) Fckl. Apparently the cause of cankered branches.

I

White Spruce (Picea canadensis (Mill.) BSP.)

Phaeolus sistotremoides (A. & S.) Murr. White spruce is fairly free from
fungus diseases in the Timagami Forest Reserve. This and the one follow-
ing are the two commonest causes of heart rot.

Porodaedalea pini (Thore) Murr.

Tyromyces guttulatus (Pk.) Murr. Infrequent on dead wood.

124 EEPORT OF THE No. 3

Black Spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) BSP.)

Arceuthohium pusillum Peck. The dwarf mistletoe is not uncommon on black

spruce throughout Ontario. In some cases entire swamps are badly

diseased, the trees loaded with witches' brooms, due to the stimulation

of this parasite.
Armillaria mellea Quel. Frequent on the roots. It is also reported here

for the first time as the cause of a heart rot.
CoUricia tomentosa (Fr.) Murr. Occasional on roots.
Fomes roseus (A. & S.) Cooke. Occasional on dead wood;" whether or not tlio

cause of a heart rot remains undetermined.
Fomes ungulatus (Schaeff.) Sacc. Very abundant on dead wood. It has

also been found causing heart rot.
Melampsoropsis ahietina (A. & S.) Arth. This leaf rust and the following

one are abundant, in some cases causing considerable defoliation.' Tliey

are reported here on both hosts, namely, black spruce, and Labrador tea

(Ledum groenlandicum).
Melampsoropsis cassandrae (Peck & Clint.) Arth. This rust, as in the case

of the last, is reported here as wintering over in the alternate host.

Found on both hosts in the Timagami Forest Eeserve, namely, black

spruce, and cassandra (Chamaedaphne calyculata).
Phaeolus sistotremoides (A. & S.) Murr. Common, and like the following,

the cause of a destructive heart rot.
Porodaedalea pini (Thore) Murr.
Tyromyces anceps (Pk.) Murr. This fungus has been regarded as very rare

in eastern America, but in our northern country it is found to be the

frequent cause of decay in the fallen trunks of various conifers.

Banksian or Jack Pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.)

Cronartium cerebrum (Pk.) Hedg. & Long. This stem rust occurs abund-
antly and often destructively on the jack pine. It is also found abund-
antly on the leaves of the red oak in the Timagami Forest Eeserve, on
which, however, it causes no appreciable injury.

Cronartium comptoniae Arth. This interesting stem rust of the jack pine
was found on both of the alternate hosts, the sweet fern (Myrica aspleni-
folia) and sweet Gale (Myrica Gale). It is quite certain that it will be
found on its coniferous hosts in the Timagami Forest Eeserve, the
locality referred to in this note.

Cronartium pyriforme (Pk.) Hedg. & Long. Found on its alternate host,
the bastard toad-flax (Comandra umbellata), south of Parry Sound.
It is to be expected that this stem rust will be found on the jack pine
in Northern Ontario.

Lophodermium pinastri (Schw.) Chev. Frequent and causing more or less
extensive leaf fall.

Phaeolus sistotremoides. This together with the following are the commonest
cause of heart rot in this pine.

Porodaedalea pini.

Eed Pine (Pinus resinosa Ait.)

Cronartium cerebrum (Peck) Hedg. & Long. A rare rust on red pine in the
Timagami Forest Reserve.

1919-20 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS, FORESTS AND MINES. 125

Fomes roseus (A. & S.) Cooke. Fairly common on dead wood.

Phaeolus sistotremoides. This, together with the following are the commonest

cause of heart rot in this pine.
Porodaedalea pini.

Tyromyces anceps (Peck) Murr. On dead wood.
Coleosporium solidaginis (Schw.) Thum. Abundant on asters as an alternate

host. It is to be looked for on the needles of both the red and jack pine.

White Pine (Pinus strobus L.)

Cronartium ribicola Fischer. This destructive stem rust of white pine is widely

distributed throughout southern Ontario on white pine and on various

Ribes. It has not yet been found in Northern Ontario.
Lophodermium pinastri (Schr.) Chev. A cause of leaf fall, but apparently

not serious.
Polyporus osseus Kalch. Infrequent, possibly the cause of a not hitherto

reported heart rot.
Phaeolus sistotremoides. Very common, doing extensive damage to mature

or nearly mature timber.
Porodaedalea pini. A serious heart rot, common in some localities. The

white-spotted lumber made from diseased trunks is utilizable to a certain

extent such as is not the case with the last.
Tyromyces anceps (Pk.) Murr. On fallen trunks.

White Cedar or Arbor Vitae (Thuja occidentalis L.)

Armillaria mellea (Vahl.) Quel. Apparently a common root-rot of cedars
of all ages. Is also reported here for the first time as a cause of heart rot.

Coriolus balsameus (Pk.) Murr. Found by Mr. A, W. McCallum for the
first time as a probable cause of a heart rot of cedar in the Timagami
Forest Reserve.

Keithia thujina Durand. An extremely interesting leaf disease of cedar.
This fungus has recently been reported as the cause of a highly destructive
leaf blight of young western cedars on the Pacific coast. Little else
except the original record of its occurrence in Wisconsin is known, so
that the finding of it in the Timagami Forest Reserve is of special
interest.

Pestalozzia spec. The cause of a leaf disease.

Phaeolus sistotremoides (A. & S.) Murr. Probably the cause of the com-
monest of the heart rots of the cedar in Northern Ontario.

Porodaedalea pini (Thore) ^lurr. Reported for. the first time as the cause
of a heart rot in arbor vitae.

I have the honour to be sir,

Your obedient servant,

E. J. Zavitz,

Provincial Forester.

126 EEPORT OF THE No. 3

Appendix No. J^l.
Fuel Supply — Wood-Cutting Permits to Municipalities.

Attention was directed in the Annual Departmental Eeport for 1918, to the
efforts of the Department toward relieving the fuel situation in various munici-
palities throughout the province. The Crown Timber Agents were instructed to
select areas upon which wood was suitable chiefly for fuel purposes. They were
instructed to co-operate in every way with the municipal authorities in locating
such areas.

In cases where suitable areas were found to exist, and where municipalities
applied to cut thereon, permits were issued for the cutting of fuel free of Crown
dues.

Returns which have been received indicate that the following quantities of
wood have been cut by the municipalities indicated: —

Municipality of Port Arthur 1,879 cords.

Town of Keewatin 326 "

Municipality of Bucke 200 "

Town of Kenora 1,115 "

City of Fort William 2113/4 "

Municipality of North Bay 781>^ "

City of Port Arthur 2,828 "

Total 7,3411/4

'4

In addition, mention might be made of the large quantities of fire-wood
secured by operations in Algonquin Park.

John Houser, Albert Grigg,

Appendix No. Jf2.

Honourable Gt. Howard Ferguson,

Minister of Lands, Forests and Mines,
Toronto, Ont.

SiR^ — I have the honour to submit my report of the work performed by the
Colonization Eoads Branch of the Department of Lands and Forests for the fiscal
year ending October 31st, 1919.

This report is in tabulated form and gives the details of each work with the
expenditure made upon it, and a summary on the final page shows the total
amounts of the various classes of work done. ■

Part of the work was done by direct expenditure of the Government, to tlie
amount of $273,744.24. The balance was expended 'by Township Municipalities
under Colonization Road By-laws, towards which the Government made grants
amounting to $116,877.30, making a total of $390,621.54.

1919-20 DEPAETMENT OF LANDS, FOEESTS AND MINES. 137

A great improvement could be made iu the service by the employment of
more technically trained men to educate and instruct the rural roadmaker, and
to lay out and supervise his work. Many mistakes in road location and construction
are due to lack of knowledge and errors of Judgment of the local men upon whom
we m.ust depend to carry on road work.

All of which is respectfully submitted.

I have the- honour to be, Sir,

Your obedient servant,

C. H. FULLERTON,

Superintendent of Colonization Roads.
.Dated at Toronto, October 31st, 1919.

Appendix No. JfS.
The Honourable the Minister of Lands, Forests and Mines, Ontario.

SiK, — I have the honour to submit to you the report of the work of the
Northern Development Branch, done under my supervision during the season
ending October 31st, 1919, in Temiskaming District and that part of Algoma
District in 'the vicinity of the Town of Hearst, being otherwise described as : ( 1 )
the area tributary to the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Eailway and its
branches from Latchford to its Northern terminus at Cochrane, a distance of
almost one hundred and sixty miles, and (2) the area tributary to the Canadian
National Railways from the Quebec boundary westward, for a distance of about
two hundred miles.

On account of the scattered settlements in Northern Ontario, the problem
of providing good roads for all is very difficult and costly, particularly so when

iScene at Swastika, Ont.

wages are high and labor is scarce. In many cases it is a question of having a
bad road or of having no road at all, so that we have, in order to serve the different
isolated settlements, many miles of road varying in quality from very good to
very bad, much of it often impassable at certain seasons of the year. With more
compact settlements the same expenditure would have constructed better and more
satisfactory roads on account of less mileage required.

No new roads were cut out in advance of settk^nent during the past season.
This class of work was only done in order to let settlers out and give their children
access to school. The principal work done was towards the completing of roads
that had been commenced, and the repairing and improving of existing roads.
Considerable gravelling was done during the winter in the neighborhood of
Matheson, Monteith and Cochrane. It was found to be more cheaply done in
winter and provided work for settlers during a slack time.

The details of most of the work done are shown in the accompanying schedule
in tabulated form. In addition to what is shown on this schedule, a steel bridge

EEPOET OF THE

No. 3

Avas erected over the Kapuskasing Eiver in O'Brien Township, and the sub-structure
for another over the Mattagami Eiver, near Timmins, has been ahnost completed.
Erection of the steel will probably be completed during the month of January.

Besides constructing roads and bridges for settlers, considerable attention was
paid to the wants of the mining population. A railroad from Swastika to Kirkland
Lake Mining Camp had been projected, but on the representation of the people
interested and to avoid the heavy expenditure entailed, it was decided to undertake
the construction of a water bound macadam road.

Road in Temiskaming.

The construction of a similar road from Elk Lake to Gowganda was under-
taken in lieu of the railroad that had been urgently requested. It was estimated
that it would cost three-fourths less to construct, and that it would answer all
requirements.

Considerable progress was made on both of these roads under most trying
• labor and weather conditions. Several months' work, with more favorable condi-
tions, will probably see the completion of the former road, but it will require

1919-20 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS, FORESTS AND MINES. 165

several seasons to complete the road to Gowganda without considerable expenditure
upon additional plant and equipment.

In conclusion, I have to say that all our road work could be carried on more
efficiently if our organization included more technically trained and experienced
road makers. Modern road building is an occupation by itself and too much
responsibility should not be allowed to rest on the shoulders of the local handy
man who has not had the training and experience necessary to do the best work.

All of which is respectfully submitted.

I have the honour to be. Sir,

Your obedient servant,

C. H. FULLERTON.

Director, Northern Development Branch,

Toronto, October 31st, A.D. 1919.

TemisJcaming District.

TJie Uonourcible the Minister of Lands, Forests and Mines, Ontario.

Sir, — Under the provisions of the Act of 1912, and subsequent amendments,
for the development of Northern and North-Western Ontario, I recommend for
the construction, maintenance and repairs of roads and bridges the following
expenditures, for the season ending October 31st, 1930.

(A) In the territory served by the Temiskaming and Northern
Railway from Latchford to Cochrane.

(1) From Latchford to Swastika, including the Elk Lake and
Charlton branches of the railway and mining camps of Boston Creek,
Kirkland Lake and Larder Lake $1 00,000

(2) From Swastika to Monteith 75,000

(3) From Monteith to Cochrane, including the Iroquois Falls
Branch and Porcupine branch of the Railway as far as Porcupine River. 75,000

(4) The Porcupine Mining District, including Mountjoy Township 50,000

(B) In the territory served by the Canadian National Railways,
from the Quebec boundary to Grant, and southerly along the Algoma
Central Railway to Oba.

(1) From the Quebec boundary, west to Fauquier, including roads

for Soldiers' and Sailors' Colony in Shackleton Township 75,000

(2) From Fauquier to Grant, including roads for Soldiers' and
Sailors' Settlement in O'Brien and Owens Townships 75,000

Unforeseen expenditures 50,000

All of which is respectfully submitted. $525,000

I have the honour to be, Sir,

Your obedient servant,

180 EEPOET OF THE Xo. 3

Repoet on the Constkuction and Maixtexance of Highways and Bridges
Under the Provisions of the Northern and North Western
Ontario Development Act 1912 and Amendments.

(During the Season of 1919.)

To the Honourable the Minister of Lands and Forests:

Sir, — I have the honour to submit the following report of work done on the
construction and maintenance of roads and bridges under the provisions of the
above Acts during the season of 1919 : —

Operations were carried on in the Districts of Eainy Eiver, Kenora, Port
Arthur and Fort William, Sault Ste. Marie, St. Joseph Island, Algoma, Sudbury,
Nipissing, Parry Sound, Muskoka and the Counties of Eenfrew and Simcoe.

During the season considerable work was done in the Eainy Eiver Valley;
23 miles of new road were cut out and constructed; during the winter of 1918-19
considerable gravel was hauled for re-surfacing of trunk roads. Several of the
trunk roads running north and south into the newW settled townships were ex-
tended, and tap drains dug to assist in draining off the swamp lands as well as
the roads. On the 1st and 2nd of July last, over 6 inches of rain fell in the two
days, causing great damage to the culverts and small bridges and in some instances
washing out the roads. This damage had to be repaired and the main trunk roads
were constantly dragged throughout the summer when required, and re-surfaced
with gravel where they became rutted. There was considerable immigration into
this district, and many of the new settlers in the back townships are handicapped
for want of roads. The main trunk roads are now in fairly good condition but
large expenditures will still be required in this district, to meet the requirements
of the incoming settlers.

In the District of Kenora the trunk road l)et\veen Wabigoon, Dryden, Oxdrift
and Vermilion Bay was worked over, re-constructed in places, and surfaced with
gravel. In this district there is a pressing want for more roads in the agricultural
country between Wabigoon and Dryden on the Canadian Pacific Eailway and the
Grand Trunk Pacific Eailway in the vicinity of Quibell Station. This country
is becoming settled up and it will be necessary, in order to retain settlement, to
spend considerable money in the construction of new roads.

In the Port Arthur and Fort William Districts larsre expenditures were made
in re-surfacing with gravel the main trunk roads : and also in constructinsf. new
roads. The International or Scott highway to Dnluth was put into good condition.
The construction of a new road running east from Port Arthur towards Loon
Lake, Dorion and Nipigon was beofun ; about 15 miles of this road was partly
constructed along the Hydro-Electric transmission line between Port Arthur and
the Nipigon Eiver.

On the trunk road between Sault Ste. IMarie and Sudbury, considerable M'ork
was done. The gap between Algoma Mills and Cutler has been partially com-
pleted, nnd repair work wa> done between Cutler and Sudbury; and between
Algoma ^lills and Sault Ste. Marie.

On St. Joseph Island, the work commenced three years ago was continued ;
and the trunk roads are now in good condition.

In the Sudbury District, new roads were constructed, and roads previously
constructed were kept in repair. Considerable expenditure was made in tlie

1919-20 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS, FOHESTS AND MINES. 181

milling district around West Shining Tree, to meet the requirements of mine
owners, who are now beginning to develop the gold mines in that district. Several
miles of new road were also constructed to accommodate the settlers in the out-
lying townships. The trunk road between Sudbury and North Bay was kept in
fairly good condition; large quantities of gravel and crushed rock were used in
re-surfacing this road in the worst places; the road was frequently dragged. A
new road was constructed between Warren on the Canadian Pacific Railway, south
to the Village of St. Charles. The old road between Rutter Station on the Toronto
Branch of the Canadian Pacific Railway, running east about 30 miles to Lake
Nipissiiig, was partly re-constructed and graded.

The trunk road between North Bay and !Mattawa was re-graded and le-sur-
faced in places, and continued east of Mattawa towards Chalk River. Between
Pembroke and Petawawa, the road was kept in repair; and between Chalk River
and ^lattawa, about 25 miles of the old Pembroke and Mattawa Road was Avidencd
and re-graded. On the trunk road from North Bay, south to Bracebridge, a
large expenditure was made in reconstruction, and in diverting the old road
where it was found necessary in order to improve the grades. The worst parts
of this road have been completed as far south as Washago. On the old road
running west from Trout Creek Station on the Grand Trunk Railway, towards
Commanda, construction was commenced, and about 12 miles partly completed.
The road running west from Powassan to Nipissing Village was continued.

The following is a more detailed statement of the different roads constructed
and repaired in the various districts during the season ; and appended to this
report is a statement of the expenditures and an approximate estimate of the
amounts which will be required to construct and maintain roads during the
season of 1920.

I have the honour to be, Sir,

Your obedient servant,

J. F. Whitsox,

Commissioner.

DLSTRICTS OF PARRY SOUND AND MUSKOKA.

'Trunk Head from, Callander, South :

Work was continued on this road throughout the winter of 1918-10. Several
of the worst parts of the road, where gravel could not be procured conveniently
during the summer season, were, surfaced with gravel ; more particularly in the
vicinity of Barriedale, Burk's Falls, Katrine, and Huntsville. The work was also
continued throughout the summer season up to the end of October. Over 40,000
cubic yards of gravel were used in re-surfacing this road. From Callander to
Powassan the road was dragged at different times throughout the season when
required. Between Novar Station, on the Grand Trunk Railway, and Huntsville,
a diversion of 5 miles was made along the right-of-way of the Grand Trunk
Railway, southerly from Novar Station, to avoid very heavy grades on the old road
running west and south from Novar. The new ''oad as now constructed and
gravelled is a great improvement; there are very few grades on it, and the length

182 EEPOET OF THE No. 3

of the road has also been cut down considerably. The road is now in fairly good
condition for automobile traffic over this section, which was considered one of
the worst sections- on the road between North Bay and Bracebridge. From Utterson
the road was diverted westerly to strike the Parry Sound road north of Beatrice;
and from the diversion, the road extended southerly, passing through Falkenburg.
In this section, the old road was widened, ditched, graded and gravelled in places.
From Novar north to Burk's Falls, the road was gravelled in places, graded and
ditched; more particularly in the section near Katrine, where there was a bad
section, extending over 7 miles. North and south of Burk's Falls, the road
was re-constructed in places and graveled. At Sundridge a large stone culvert
was constructed, and north of South Eiver Station a bridge was built across the
South River, with a span of 47 ft., with stone abutments; and a second bridge,
over Black Creek, a tributary of the South Eiver, was constructed with stone
abutments, with a span of 23 ft. A stone bridge was also built over a small creek
with a deep valley, at the new diversion north of Melissa Station. Immediately
north of Huntsville, several small diversions and rock cuts were made, and con-
siderable surfacing with gravel done. The road between Bracebridge and North
Bay is now in fairly passable condition for automobile traffic, although there
still requires considerable surfacing to be done with gravel. North of the diver-
sion of the trunk road with the Parry Sound road, north of Beatrice, a rock cut
was made near the Skeleton Hill, along the shore of a small lake. This has greatly
improved the grade on the road from Eosseau to Bracebridge. It will take a
considerable expenditure during the season of 1920 on this road, more particularly
between Novar and Bracebridge, to put the road into good condition.

Between Bracebridge and Gravenhurst, no work was done on the trunk road
during this season. It was found, however, that south of Gravenhurst near the
Severn Eiver and Washago, the old road, which had been built many years
ago, had become badly rutted for want of attention. In this section, extending
a distance of over 6 miles, operations were started in September from Severn
Bridge, southerly through the village of Washago. The road was regraded, widened
in places and brushed out; about 11/^ miles of the road was re-surfaced with
crushed rock and gravel. Owing to the wet season, this road was not completed,
and the work has since been continued, re-surfacing with crushed rock.

DISTEICT OF PAEEY SOUND.

Nipissing Road:

Between Powassan Station on the Grand Trunk Eailway north-westerly to
Nipissing Village, a distance of about 10 miles, which was graded two years ago
and gravelled in places, was resurfaced in the wjorst places, 2,000 ciibic yards of
gravel being used. This work was performed during the winter season. Through-
out the summer the road was dragged and kept in fairly good condition. This
road is part of the Powassan and Eestoule Eoad it extends westerly for a distance
of over 40 miles, it is one of the oldest roads in the district. West of Nipissing
the road was in bad condition; it passes through' a country which has been settled
for over 25 years. The country is broken and rocky, but in places there is a very
fine agricultural land with fairly prosperous settlers. These settlers have no other
access to the railway but by this particular road. An exploration was made of

1919-20 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS, FOEESTS AND MINES.

183

the road and it was found that immediately west of Nipissing village there was
a very bad grade, rocky and almost impossible to go up or down with heavy loads.
A diversion was made to the north to avoid the heavy grade. The road has been
cut out and it is hoped that next season the Department will be in a position to
finish the road and continue the work as far west as Eestoule. Three small bridges
with stone abutments have been constructed near Nipissing village, across a branch
of the South Eiver.

Trout Creek and Loring Road :

This road follows the old colonization or timber road constructed in the
early days of settlement in the district. It is the only road from the village of
Loring, Golden Valley settlement and the village of Commanda, by which the

Entering the town of Mattawa, on the Trunk Road, District of Nipissing.

settlers can reach the railway. The road passes through a typical Parry Sound
country, broken and rocky in places, with sections of good land in the valleys.
In some sections, more particularly that immediately west of Trout Creek Station,
the soil is a light sandy loam or sand. This class of country extends westerly for
about 5 miles. The old road constructed many years ago and mostly repaired
by settlers, was in bad condition; very little attention had been paid to drainage
or grading. The road has been widened, ditched and graded for a distance of about
8 miles, where it ended in a rough, rocky, hilly section and where a diversion had
to be made for a distance of 5 miles to the north, along the valley of a small
stream. On this new road a fairly good grade was found ; the road has been
cut out and grubbed and is now ready for grading as far as the village of Com-
manda. This diversion leaves the old road about 8 miles west of Trout Creek
Station and touches the old road again at the village of Commanda, beyond which

no new work has been done upon the old road. West of Commanda to Loring
the road passes through Golden Valley, in which there is a good settlement of
fairly prosperous farmers, the land in many places being first class. In other
sections the road passes through a rocky sparsely settled country where the road
will have to be diverted in some instances, in order to better the grades. This
country has been settled in places for the last 40 years and the only access to the
railway, for these settlers, is along this road. At the present time it is a difficult
matter for the settlers to reach a market except during the winter season. The
first 8 miles of the road, commencing at Trout Creek Station, has been well graded
and gravelled in places; 21 iron culverts and 6 wooden culverts were placed.
Several of the hills were cut down to improve the grade. The hills on both sides
of the South River bridge were cut down and the grade very much improved.
Owing to the wet season unfortunately we were unable to complete the gravelling
of some sections of the road and this will require to be done later on.

Distress Road :

On the main road from Sundridge to Magnetawan village a diversion was made
around what is locally known as " Distress Hill " ; 1 mile of new road was cut
out and gravelled, in order to improve the grade. The old road passes over a
rocky hill which it was found impossible to cut down. Over 1,000 yards of gravel
were used in surfacing this road.

Townships of Conger and Freeman :

The road from Parry Sound, running south to Lake Joseph and Lake Muskoka
was extended from Gordon Bay, along the Canadian Pacific and Canadian Xorthern
Railways to Foote Bay, a distance of about 5 miles, through the townships of
Conger and Freeman. This road connected with a fairly good automobile road
from Foote Bay to Bala, a summer resort on Muskoka Lake. The road followed
had been cut out several years ago, but was grown up and unused, except during
the winter season. The road was cut out, widened and stumped ready for grading.
It passes through a comparatively level country, with no bad grades and, when
coinpleted, will give the citizens of the town of Parry Sound and villages along
the railway access to the summer resorts in the Muskoka Lake country. It will
also assist the settlers in getting to a market for their produce. The road requires
to be graded and ditched.

The total amoant expended on the trunk road, and other roads in the Districts
of Parry Sound and ]\lu.skoka during the season was $144,043.33.

Mattaiva-Kloch Road:

The old travelled road known as the Mattawa and Pembroke road commencing
about 3 miles east of the Town of Mattawa and extending east for a distance of over
12 miles, was widened, ditched and graded to a point about 2 miles east of Klock
Station on the C.P.R. On this road 5 corrugated iron culverts, 10 wooden culverts
and 6 stone culverts were placed. The road was well ditched and graded, 1 bridge
was repaired, 1,433 cu. yds. of gravel were used in resurfacing the worst parts
af the road. Between the eastern terminus of this work and the western end
of the work performed west of Chalk River there is a long section of road which
will require considerable repairing and grading. It is part of the old timber

for traffic during the early spring or late in the fall of the year; it will require
brushing out, grading and surfacing with gravel in places.

Callander-Mattaiva Road :

This road was constructed by this Branch in 1913 and 1914. During the
interval some repair work was done in places by this Branch, but little or nothing
by the settlers along the road. There is considerable traffic over the road and it

is about 40 miles. The road was re-graded throughout its entire length this
season ; some of the worst grades cut down ; the road widened in places and re-
surfaced with gravel where required; the ditches were deepened and cleaned out
and several new culverts placed. The road is now in fairly good condition,
although there are still some parts of the road which will require re-surfacing
with gravel later on.

North Bay to Sudbury Trunk Road:

This road, was dragged and repaired throughout its entire length, 80 miles
between the Towns of Sudbury and North Bay; in places it was re-surfaced with
gravel. East and west of Meadowside 3,070 cubic yards of gravel were hauled by
train from a point on the Canadian Pacific Eailway west of Sudbury from the
Canadian Pacific Railway pit at Phelan. North of the Village of Markstay, 1,055
cubic yards of gravel were used in re-surfacing II/2 miles of the road leading into
the village.

In the Townships of Kilpatrick and Caldwell, east of the Village of Verner^
about 31/^ miles of the road were re-surfaced, 3,205 yards of gravel being used.
In sections west of Sturgeon Falls the road was also re-surfaced where it had
become rough, 900 cubic yards of gravel and 1,203 cubic yards of stone being
used. Several culverts and small bridges were repaired. Between the Town of
Sudbury and the Village of Coniston a stone road was constructed about four
years ago. The road was re-surfaced with crushed rock in places for a distance
of six miles, and with coarse gravel for two miles ; 1,435 cubic yards of crushed rock
and 600 yards of gravel were used; five corrugated iron culverts were placed and
the road was well rolled with 12 ton roller and is now in first class condition..
The bridge across the Veuve River, about three miles west of Warren Station
on the Canadian Pacific Railway, which was commenced last season, was com-
pleted. The bridge has a clear span of 60 feet with stone abutments; 500 cubic
yards of rock were used in filling in these abutments.

In the vicinity of Meadowside, where the country is very flat, ditches had
to be deepened and five iron culverts were used to assist in the drainage. The-
road between Sudbury and North Bay is now in fairly good condition, although
there are still places which will require gravelling; more particularly in that
portion between Sturgeon Falls and Meadowside.

The amount expended on the above work during the season was $69,484.31.

Trunk Eoad, Mattawa to Pembroke:

Betiveen Pembroke and Petawaiva and Chalk River to Bissett's Creek. — The-
trunk road between the Town of Pembroke and the Petawawa Military Reserve,
in length about 12 miles, which was constructed a few years ago, was placed under
a foreman, with a small gang of from 3 to 5 men and from 1 to 2 teams; who
were engaged throughout the season commencing about the 1st June in improving
and maintaining this road. The road was continually dragged when required, and
new gravel was spread on the road wherever it became rutted. In places, the road
was widened where necessary, and the ditches deepened. Over this road there is a
very heavy traffic. This system of constantly keeping the roads in repair was
found very satisfactory on this particular road; and throughout the entire season
the road was in splendid condition.

Twenty miles of this road were brushed out and ditched, and 15 miles graded;
44 corrugated iron culverts, 8 stone culverts and several wooden culverts were
placed; 1 cedar bridge with 14 ft. opening and stone abutments was built, with
300 yds. of rock filling; 1 stone culvert bridge 44 ft. wide and 7 ft. high was?
constructed across Barr's Creek, with walls on each side 120 ft. long, 20 ft. wide

surfaced with gravel in the worst places. It passes through a country that has
been sparsely settled for over 50 years. The road as now constructed, was origin-
ally built and known as the Peml)roke and Mattawa Road ; and was used by the

west as the branch road leading to the interprovincial bridge, which is distant
only a few miles from our trunk road. From about the same point, the road
branches southerly a few mil^es to Moore Lake Station on the Canadian Pacific
Railway. This branch road to the station was bruslied out, grubbed in places,
and the worst grades cut down. This station is where the settlers along the trunk
road within a reasonable "distance market their supplies. The road from Chalk
River west, passes in places over sandy plains, grown up Avith a thick second growth
of pine and other timber, Avhich even now have a commercial value. The road
passes in sight of the Ottawa River throughout a good portion of its length, and
the scenery is very fine. At present there is considerable automobile traffic

in places in the vicinity of Bisset Station, where it was cut out and widened for
a distance of 6 miles and in the vicinity of Adelard Station, 5 miles of the road
were brushed out, and 3 miles stumped and stoned, ready for grading.

The expenditure on this work during the season amounted to $24,421.55,

DISTRICT OF SUDBURY

(I arson to Coniston lioad

This road was cut out and graded 3 years ago. There was considerable heavy
traffic over the road between the Mond Nickel Company's smelters at Coniston
and the Company's mines at the village of Garson, the distance being a little over

5 miles. This road was all well surfaced with crushed rock, over 5,000 cubic
yards of rock being placed thereon, and well rolled with a 12-ton roller and sur-
faced in places with gravel, of which 1,067 yards were used. Several corrugated
iron culverts were placed and the road is now in good condition.

Sudbury to Garson Village:

This road was constructed 7 years ago. A diversion, however, was made on
the road a few years ago, but never surfaced. This diversion reduced the distance
and grades considerably; 3,729 cubic yards of crushed rock were used on this road
and 1,200 yards of gravel, the road being well rolled and corrugated iron culverts
placed where required, and a bridge, with an 18-ft. span, built on lot 12, con. 6,
township of Neelon. This bridge was constructed with stone abutments. The
road between Sudbury and Garson is now in good condition.

Sudbury to Hanmer :

The road between Sudbury and Hanmer, which was constructed 7 years ago,
became badly rutted, as the municipalities along the road have taken little or no
interest in maintaining it. The road was re-graded and ditched in places and
surfaced with gravel and slag from the mines, 2,044 cubic yards of slag and 219
yards of gravel being used. The repairs along this road extended for a distance
of 8 miles.

Hanmer to Capreol Road:

A few steep hills were cut down and the road was repaired and re-ditched
and parts surfaced with gravel, 414 cubic yards of gravel being used. This road
was constructed about 7 years ago and became badly rutted in placesi, owing to
the fact that little or no repair work has been done by the settlers along the road.

Sudbury to Azilda Road:

This road was repaired and dragged for a distance of 6 miles, 400 cubic yards
of gravel being used.

Coppercliff to Creighton Road:

This road was dragged for 6 miles and repaired for 3 miles. Upwards of 500
cubic yards of gravel were used in repairs. It is now in first class condition.

Warren to St. Charles Road:

Between Warren Station on the Canadian Pacific Eailway and the village of
St. Charles, the distance is about 91/^ miles, and between these two villages the
old road was, in many places, almost impassable for traffic during the spring and
fall seasons. Along this road there is a good settlement, more particularly in the
vicinity of the village of St. Charles, and a great deal of farm produce passed
over the road. The road required grading, ditching and widening and the grades
had to be cut down ; 91/^ miles of the road were graded and about 5 miles were
surfaced with gravel. Corrugated iron culverts were placed, where necessary, and
6 large wooden culverts repaired or re-built. A small wooden bridge was re-con-
structed and the road is now in very fair condition.

farming sections in that district. The country is fairly level, the soil is of clay
and clay loam, broken in places with rocky ridges; but on the whole, the country
is well adapted for agricultural purposes and there is a prosperous settlement
along the road. The road in many places has never been graded. Work was
commenced early in September on the worst part of the road, which is within 11^
miles of Canadian Pacific Railway, where the country is very rocky, more par-
ticularly at the crossing of the Murdock Creek. This portion of the road was
improved, and on each side of the bridge for a considerable distance was well
graded and the rock cut down; the crossing is now in first-class condition. About
41/^ miles of the road was graded and 2 miles re-surfaced with gravel; 17 new
culverts were put in and over 1,200 cubic yards gravel used. The road requires
considerable expenditure yet. The only outlet the settlers have in this district is
by Rutter Station in the summer and winter seasons, or by boat across Lake
Nipissing in the summer season. There is a large section of fine agricultural land
tributary to this road and 1 would advise further expenditure in the way of
grading and gravelling.

Larch wood to Levack:

This road was graded and repaired for a distance of 2 miles.

Shining Tree Road :

This road leaves the Canadian National Railway at Westree Station, 73 miles
north of Sudbury, and runs in easterly and north-easterly direction to West
Shining Tree Lake and VVasapika Lake. The distance to West Shining Tree Lake
is about 23 miles and Wasapika Lake 28 miles. The road as far as West Shining
Lake was cut out 6 years ago and the first 16 miles graded and corduroyed in
places. No repairs were done during the interval, and the road was badly broken
up. During the last 2 seasons there has been considerable heavy traffic over the
road by the miners taking in mining machinery and supplies. ITie road passes
through a country that is heavily timbered with Jack Pine, Spruce, Poplar and
other timber; the road is comparatively level with very few bad grades; the soil
is either light sandy loam, sand, or gravel, until within a few miles of West Shining
Tree Lake where the country becomes rocky. There are a few good gravel pits along
the road but road making material in some places is difficult to procure. The
road has been regraded and ditched in places; new culverts have been constructed
and about 8 miles re-surfaced with good gravel; the road to West Shining Tree
is now in fairly good condition; beyond that point to Wasapika Lake it requires
stumping and grading and in places widening. From all appearances, judging
from the amount of work that has been carried on in this mining district during:
the past season, there are good prospects of the district making a mining camp.
Several Mining Companies have done considerable work on their properties this
season, and a few of them have put in small plants, and the indications are that
there will be considerable activity in this gold mining district in the near future.
All of their machinery and supplies will pass over this road.

St. Charles to Hagar Road:

A winter road was cut out between the townships of Duimet and Appleby,

The total amount expended on the above work during the season was
$122,763.94.

Sault Ste. Marie-Sudbukt Trunk Eoad, and Work in the District of Algoma,
IN THE Vicinity of Sault Ste. Marie.

Sault Ste. Marie-Sudhury Trunk Road, Algoma to Cutler:

Work was commenced in June on the gap, 19 miles in length, between Algoma
and Cutler. This portion lies in difficult country from a construction standpoint,
being rough and rocky with numerous swamps.

Three camps were installed, one working east from Algoma, one west from
Cutler and a double camp working in both directions from Spragge.

At the end of the season 11 miles had been completed, of which 6 were
gravelled. Of the remainder, 5 miles were partially completed so as to be passable,
but still requiring a considerable amount of work, including one rock cut of
400 yds. and 3 smaller ones, drainage and the installation of some permanent
culverts. Three miles lying along the Serpent Eiver remain to be built.

The section was in general built to a width of 24 ft., reduced to 20 ft. on
cuts and fills. Grades have been with three exceptions, kept below 8 per cent.,
these three being 10 per cent. Sharp turns have been avoided and a good view
obtained.

Seventy corrugated metal culverts were installed during the season, the major-
ity of these being bedded in concrete to prevent heaving. One 6 ft. x 6 ft. con-
crete culvert, 32 ft. long was built at Foz Creek, and one 8 ft. concrete arch
65 ft. long at Shephard's Creek. Four stone culverts were also built. There
remain on the ground to be installed, 20 corrugated metal culverts.

During the season a stone crushing plant was authorized, but delivery was
not obtained until late in the season. A re-built tractor sent with the outfit was
not sufficiently powerful and was replaced with a new machine. This plant has
been installed at Shephard's Creek where there is a rock slide of over one hundred
thousand tons of naturally broken trap unweathered and of the right size for the
crusher. Quarry costs are thus almost eliminated. The same conditions obtain
at a number of other points between Sault Ste. Marie and Sudbury. Owing to the
lateness of the season only a test run was made with the plant. But six weeks
running in the spring will supply the material for that part of the newly con-
structed road, for which no gravel is available. After that the plant can be
moved to different points as required.

In addition to the three miles uncompleted and the five miles partially com-
pleted there remains to be built during the coming season, three small reinforced
concrete bridges of 18 ft, span.

With a sufficiently early start this section can be opened for traffic early
in July of next year,

Sault Ste. Marie to Algoma Mills:

This portion of the road, 102 miles in length, is under charge of a main-
tenance overseer and has been continually patrolled and kept in repair. In addi-
tion to maintenance' betterments are being made. During the season, in addition

to steady dragging, 4,000 yds. of gravel were spread on a total distance of 28
miles. Two thousand tons of trap rock from Bruce Klines Quarry were used for
repair purposes. Twenty culverts were installed and 8 miles of the road were
brushed out. Ditches were cleaned out where necessary, and new outlets built.

Sudburij to Cutler:

This part of the road, 83 mi-les in length, required considerable work. .During
the season, 27 miles, between Copper Cliff and Nairii, were repaired and gravelled
in places.

Between Webbwood and Espanola, a section, which has always given consider-
able trouble, o large washouts were filled and other repairs made.

Between Walford and Massey, SVL' miles were re-graded and gravelled, together
with one mile of outlet ditching and some miscellaneous repairs.

Ten culverts in all were installed.

^St. Joseph Island:

Operations were carried on during the winter months in hauling gravel on to
roads, which had l)een graded the previous season, and as soon as the spring opened
up the roads previously constructed were gone over with the road drag, and
[oiperations carried on throughout the season. Operations were chiefly confined
■to the A line, across lots 19 to 25; on the line between lots 5 and 6, across Con-
cessions P, Q, Rand S; between lots 10 and 11, across Concessions N, 0 and P:

196 KEPOET OF THE No. 3

on the U line, across lots 10 to 15 and lots 31 to 23 ; on the D line, across lot 5
and across lots 17 to 21; on side roads 20 and 21, across Concessions 13 and 14.
Besides re-ditching and re-grading parts of these roads, necessary culverts were
placed. The roads now constructed connect the two main shipping points or
villages on the island, Eichard's Landing and Hilton ; and give access from the
main settlements on the island to these villages. The roads on tne island are now
in good condition. They will, of course, require to be maintained and extended
as settlement progresses. During the season over 15,000 cu. yds. of gravel were
used in re-surfacing these roads. The roads were all well dragged during the
summer season, as necessity required and are now in gOod condition.

Between the villages of Hilton and Eichard's Landing, both of which are
situated on the north shore of the island, the road runs north across Campement
D'Ours Island to a point opposite Kensington Point on the main land. The
passage is made by means of a scow ferry. From Kensington, there is a road
^onnecting with the Sault Ste. Marie-Sudbury Trunk Eoad at Desbarats Station
on the Canadian Pacific Bailway. This is a road, however, on which a considerable
amount of repair work is necessary. The work outlined has been practically
completed, with the exception of a few short roads on the island, and a cut at
the north end of the Campement D'Ours Eoad, work on which has been sus-
pended, owing to the weather conditions this fall. On St. Joseph Island and
approaches $22,248.67 has been expended during the season of 1919.

Goulais Bay Road:

The Goulais Bay Eoad runs northerly from Sault Ste. Marie to the settlement
of Goulais Bay and thence to Bellevue on the Algoma Central Eailway. One and
a half miles were graded and one mile gravelled. Also on an alternative location
to the biggest hill on the road with a grade of 20 per cent., which had been cleared
in 1917, work was started. This involved a cut of about 4,000 yds., with a cor-
responding fill, giving a final grade of 8 per cent. This work, when about half
done, had to be suspended on account of unfavourable weather conditions.

Uydal Bank Road:

On this road, running northerly from the Town of Bruce Klines, through
the Village of Eydal Bank, and thence to Ophir and McFee's Valley, a consider-
able amount of work was done during this season.

Between Bruce Mines and Eydal Bank % of a mile of road was re-graded
and 11/4 miles of gravel spread. Three culverts were repaired.

Between Eydal Bank and Ophir 1/2 mile of new road was graded and 1%
miles of gravel laid.

On the McFee's Valley portion % of a mile of gravel was laid.

^yharencl^ffe Road:

This road runs northerly from the Village of Little Eapids to the WJiarencliffe
Settlement, near Mississaugi Eiver. The northerly portion, in particular, is
extremely rough and at certain seasons almost impassable. It was intended to
cut down and improve some of the worst hills and re-grade and drain some of
the worst of the other portions. Owing to diflSculty in obtaining sufficient labour,
this being restricted to the settlers themselves, the programme for the season was

not carried, out. Three-quarters of a mile was re-graded and gravelled. Three
bridges and some culverts were repaired and re-covered, the cutting down of one
of the worst hills partially done.

Belleviie-Searchmont Survey.

On instructions from the Department, during November, a survey and pre-
liminary location of a road near the Algoma Central Eailway, from Bellevue to
Searchmont was made.

The greater portion of this Sault Ste. Marie work was carried on in charge
of Mr. John L. Lang, Civil Engineer; the total cost, including the St. Joseph
Island operations above referred to, amottnted during the year to $163,937.68.

DISTEICT OF THUNDEE BAY.
In the Vicinity of Pout Aijthur and Fort AVilliam.

International or Scott Hightvay :

AVork was commenced on this highway early in April. Several landslides had
occurred along the steep mountains adjacent to the road, more particularly at a
point known as the Horn Hill; in man}- instances the old ditches along the foot
of the mountain were filled up, and had to be cleaned out and the road widened.
In some places it was found necessary to re-surface the road with gravel or shale;
13,700 cu. yds. of gravel or shale rock were used for this purpose, from the inter-
national boundary at Pigeon Eiver, north for 35 miles to the Slate Eiver Valley.
This road was also dragged several times, or after every rainfall, and kept in first-
class condition; 15 new culverts Avere built where it was found necessary, and
all the ditches were opened up or cleaned out; the road was left in first-class
condition last fall.

Over this road there is now a large tourist traffic; no less than 17,000 people
are reported to have crossed to and from Minnesota, Duluth and Minneapolis
during the season. It has become one of the most popular tourist roads between
Ontario and the United States in the western parts of the Province. The cities
of ]*ort Arthur and Fort William are now deriving a great benefit from this road,
besides the settlers along the route. It is a road, however, that will require two
small working gangs of 4 or 5 men each and a few teams, dragging and gravelling
the road during the summer season; as there are no organized municipalities along
the southern 30 miles of this road to maintain it, and very few settlers. There
is considerable fine agricultural land along the road, which in a few years may be
settled upon; the soil is a heavy clay, admirably adapted to the growth of clover
and alsike seed.

in an easterly direction from the end of the old travelled road, crossing the
Mackenzie River about 1/4 ni^le north of the Canadian Northern Railway, and
continues easterly to a point a few miles south-west of Sibley Station on the said
railway. Operations ceased about the end of October at this point. The western
part, or old travelled portion of the road, was widened in places and surfaced
with gravel; from the end of the old travelled road, a new road was cut out,
grubbed and graded; preparations were made for the erection of a bridge across
the Mackenzie River. The road after it passes Mackenzie River, extends through
fairly good agricultural country, although the soil is light and sandy. The country
is an old brule, grown up with second growth poplar, birch, spruce, etc.; this
area has been burnt over several times. From Sibley Station, the projected road

thence the road follows in an easterly direction almost parallel to the Canadian
Pacific Railway, until it reaches the agricultural section east and west of Dorion.
Fourteen miles of this road were operated upon last season ; about 4,000 cu. yds.
of gravel were used in re-surfacing the road ; several culverts were constructed.
This road when completed will give access to all the fine summer resorts along
the shores of Thunder Bay, Black Bay, Nipigon Bay, Nipigon River and Loon
Lake; and will open up a large section of agricultural land in the Townships of
Dorion, Stirling and Nipigon; and give access to the splendid water powers of
Nipigon River. For some time to come, however, the benefits to be derived arc"

1919, the greater portion of this road was re-surfaced with gravel, 3,800 cu. yds.
being used, operations ceasing on the breaking up of sleighing. This work ceased
near Oxdrift Station. Early in May, operations were again started, and the
gravel was spread to proper grade, and the work of grading, ditching and re-
locating continued westerly along the trunk road as far as Eagle River Station.
The work consisted of cutting out and widening the road, cutting down hills to
proper grade, building culverts, grading and diverting the road where it was
found necessary, in order to avoid steep hills. The road is now well ditched and
graded, but will require considerable gravel in places, before it will meet the
requirements of heavy traffic during the wet seasons. In this section of the road,
32 corrugated iron culverts were placed; 15 wooden culverts and 3 small bridges
constructed. Two swamps in Eton Township, l^^ miles in width, were corduroyed

Trunk Road, Vermilion Bay (Canadian Pacific Railivay) North to Quihell Station
(Grand Trunk Pacific Railway).

This road was constructed a few years ago, and had become badly cut up in
places, owing to the heavy traffic, and required considerable repairs. The old
ditches were cleaned out and deepened, 10 new culverts were placed, and one small
bridge constructed. Four miles of the road were re-surfaced with gravel and 4
miles partly repaired, commencing at Vermilion Bay, going north. Owing to the
wet weather, however, it was impossible to finish the work; and there remain 2
miles of the road south of Quibell badly in need of gravelling. At this point
there is little or no gravel to be found, and it would be advisable to have this
work completed during the winter months when the gravel could be drawn much
more cheaply. The distance between Canadian Pacific Railway and Grand Trunk
Pacific Railway is 10 miles.

Settler's home, Kenora District.

In the vicinity of Quibell, in the Townships of Wabigoon and Redvers, there
is a section of fine agricultural land, with settlements of well-to-do farmers. The
settlers, however, are badly handicapped for want of roads. Owing to the diffi-
culty of procuring labour this summer, we did not succeed in constructing the
miles of roads in this section of the country that were laid out for the season's
work. During the early part of the season the farmers were all busily engaged on
their farm work, and during the latter part of the season wet weather retarded
the road work. This section of country, between Wabigoon and Eagle River is
well adapted for the growth of timothy, clover and alsike. Large quantities of
seed are grown here every year.

Winnipeg River Bridge:

Owing to the heavy rains during the first week in July, the waters of the
Lake of the Woods rose extremely high, and caused a considerable washout at
the oast abutment of the steel bridge crossing the west branch of the Winnipeg
River. The bridge was constructed about 18 years ago. The approach to the
eastern abutment was a dry stone wall about 33 ft. high and 80 ft. long. The
wall was built with very little batter, and was held together by rods of iron
passing through the roadbed and bolted to timbers. The timbers rotted, and
owing to the extremely high water, the entire wall slid out into the river, thus
stopping communication between the two towns. A new wall was constructed 100
ft. long, well pointed with cement, and is now in first class condition.

Kenora to Redditt Station Survey:

An exploration survey was made with a view to locating a trunk road between
Kcjiora and Redditt Station on the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway. First, a routie

was explored on the East Melick trunk road to Eedditt. This passed through a
broken, rocky country, unsuitable for agricultural purposes in most instances, and
diflScult and expensive to build. The second route explored followed the West
Melick trunk road, which is graded as far as lot 13, Concession 4, Township of
Melick. This route was found somewhat more satisfactory than the East Melick
trunk road, although it passes through a country with a comparatively small per-
centage of land suitable for agricultural purposes. In some instances, the country
is very rocky, and a road very difficult to construct. It was found, however, that a
road could be constructed connecting Eedditt Station with Kenora by this route,
opening up a fair percentage of agricultural land, which road might, in the future,
be extended westward along the Grand Trunk Pacific Eailway to connect with
Minaki on the' Winnipeg Eiver.

$52,092.48 was expended on the roads in this district during the season of 1919.

J. F. Whitson,

Commissioner.

To the Honourable ihe Minister of Lands and Forests: —

SiE, — I beg to submit for your consideration and recommendation that the
following amounts be expended during the season of 1920 on the construction
of new roads and bridges, the maintenance of previously constructed trunk roads,
the re-grading and re-surfacing with stone or gravel of old roads, the drainage
of swamps, and the construction of tap drains in the Districts of Rainy River,
Kenora, Port Arthur, Fort William, Algoma, Sudbury, Nipissing, Parry Sound,
Muskoka, Manitoulin Island, and County of Renfrew.

District of Bainy River:

In this District there are approximately 150 miles of trunk roads
constructed or re-constructed during the last seven years which require
to be maintained. In places they require constant dragging, ditches and
culverts require to be kept open, and occasionally parts of the road require
re-gravelling. In several of the townships from 10 to 20 miles north of
the C. N. Railway, settlement has taken place during the last five or six
years and many of these settlers have little or no access to a market,
except by winter roads, and in consequence the settlers have been badly
handicapped, therefore, it is necessary that new roads be constructed
through these townships, connecting them with the trunk roads already
built. In some instances trunk roads have been constructed north lead-
ing into these townships, which will require to be extended and the worst
parts of the roads surfaced with gravel. For this purpose I would recom-
mend the expenditure of $70,000

NEW LISKEAED FAEM.

The successful operation of the Farm has been very much hindered on recount
of lack of farm buildings. It is more imperative that the New Liskeard Demon-
stration Farm should have suitable buildings and farm stock if it is to fulfill the
purpose for which it was established; viz., to demonstrate the most successful lines
of farm work in Temiskaming District in particular, and the north country as
*a whole. To do this, live stock is absolutely essential, particularly in a country
primarily adapted to live stock farming, I cannot too strongly recommend that
steps be taken at once to prepare for the erection of buildings next summer.
Operations should be commenced early in the spring in order that the l)uildings be
ready for the first crop harvested.

One of the most important lines of work carried on during the past season
has been in the clearing of additional land. In the early fall of 1918 a contract
was let for clearing thirty acres. On account of the wet weather it could not be
completed. During the past summer weather conditions were most favourable
for land clearing and there were about seventy acres made ready for the plow ;
sixty on the " West " place and ten on the property in town. This was all fall
plowed except ten acres on the " West " property. There are from geventy-five to
eighty acres ready for crop next year.

Field Crops.

On May 31st, eight acres were seeded to O.A.C. No. 72 oats at the rate of
three bushels per acre. The field had been in pasture for some years rnd was
spring plowed. At first it was intended that the grain from this field should be
"used for ensilage. However, as no buildings were erected, it was aHowed to ripen
and was cut on September 3rd. The quality of grain was very good and the yield
sixty bushels per acre. Harvest condition's prevented stacking operations and the
grain was quite badly coloured. On the whole, we consider the crop a good average^
especially for this year.

On June 5th, seven acres were seeded with O.A.C. No. 3, three bushels per
acre. They were cut on the 15th day of August and gave a yield of fifty-five
bushels per acre. The quality of these oats is better than that of the No. 73.
They were cut two weeks earlier and were put in stack before the wet weather
came on. The No. 3 has proven to be a splendid oat for this section.

There was a small field of new land seeded late in June. This grain did not
mature and was cut and made into hay.

A small area of potatoes was planted on June 10th. The Irish Cobbler and
Green Mountain were the varieties used. Eesults were fairly satisfactory but
hardly up to the standard. The entire crop was shipped to Kapuskasing.

There was also a small acreage of turnips planted. These did much better
than was expected owing to the fact that weather conditions after planting were
most favourable for roots. After rain came the turnips picked up and developed
into one of the best crops on the Farm. They were sold to a farmer for feed
on account of lack of storage and also because we had no stock to which to feed
them.

The seven acres of No. 3 oats were seeded down to hay and the catch was
extra good. The nine acres where the No. 72 were grown were fall plowed for
crop next year.

222 REPOET OF THE Xo. 3

No other kinds of grain were grown for the reason that all hay and grain
had to be stacked. Therefore we did not consider it would be good l3usiness to
try out small areas of wheat, barley and other grains.

The hay crop was a really good average, yielding from one and a half to two
tons per acre. It was a first crop and mostly clover.

The second growth or aftermath, was extra heavy. It matured so well that
we decided to try an experiment in cutting some of it for seed. Cutting was done
on November 15th. Weather conditions were very favourable at that time and we »
expected to get it all stacked in good shape. However, rain came on the night
before we were ready to stack, consequently we had to leave it in coil for weeks
before it was' threshed. There was quite a percentage of seed frosted but sufficient
good seed to pay all expenses in connection with the experiment.

Shoet Course in Agriculture and Seed Fair.

The Second Annual Short Course and Seed Fair was held for five days, March
10th to 15th.

The instructors were: W. J. Bell, B.S.A., Kemptville; Frank Marcellus,
B.S.A. ,Guelph; F. C. Hart, B.S.A., Markets Branch, Toronto; A. H. McLennan,
Vegetable Specialist, T-oronto; W, B. Angle, New Liskeard; L, H, Hanlan, J. M.
Macintosh, A. MacLachlan, and the writer, of New Liskeard and Monteith.

The Course was arranged and conducted in a practical manner throughout.
The farmers of the district took a very keen interest in the Course, also in the
Fair. There was a large attendance at all lectures, especially those held in the
afternoon. It seemed to be difficult for the farmers to attend both morning and
afternoon lectures.

The entries in the different grain, seed and root classes were not as numerous .
as in 1918, This is explained by the fact that the harvest season of 1918 was
less favourable than that of 1917.

The Seed Fair was carried on under the same arrangement and organization
as the previous year. We are planning to hold our Third Annual Fair next year
and hope for more entries than we had this year.

In conclusion, I beg to state that practically all work in connection with the
Farm was done under the supervision of Mr. J, M. Macintosh, now Agricultural
Eepresentative at Sault Ste. Marie. I succeeded Mr. Macintosh here on September
1st, this year.

There is no doubt in my mind that a properly conducted Farm in this locality
(New Liskeard) can be made to fill an important place in the Agricultural
Development of Temiskaming District.

All of which is respectfully submitted.

Superintendent.

MATHESON FARM.

There are one hundred and sixty acres in the Farm and approximately sixty
cleared. The balance has been burned over and is covered with logs and stumps
that can be very easily cleared.

Thus far, the Fariu has been used in growing hay, grain and potatoes. The
grain has been sold to settlers at moderate prices for seed purposes, when it was
suitable for that.

This year a small post barn was erected in which to store hay and grain and
where threshing and pressing can be done. The barn offers a very good demon-
stration to settlers, in that it is cheap and yet efficient. There is very little framing
to it so that any handy man can build one like it. The frame is all made up of
posts, braced with post girts and plank braces. It is sheeted with rough lumber
and has a galvanized iron roof.

This year the Farm was cropped as follows :

Fall Wheat — •

Dawson's Golden Chaff 5 acres.

Spring Wheat —

Marquis Variety 1 acre.

Oats —

O.A.C. No. 72 2 bushels.

O.A.C. No. 3 Balance of farm.

The main crop (as stated) consisted of No. 3 oats. They were seeded on
May 16th and harvested on August 11th, eighty-seven days from date of seeding.

The O.A.C. No. 72 oats were seeded on May 29th and harvested one hundred
and two days later, on September 8th.

The fall and spring wheat did not give very good results. Twenty bushels
of spring wheat were threshed from one acre. While this may be considered a

fair yield it is hardly up to the standard. On account of severe winter killing
the fall wheat did not give a very heavy yield twenty-five bags were threshed from
five acres.

The No. 3 oats are of very good quality, there are 1,098 bushels as they came
from the mill.

Report of the Minister of Lands and Forests
of the Province of Ontario

For the Year Ending 31st October, 1920

To His Honour the Lieutenant-Governor of the Province of Ontario.
May it Please Youk Honoue :

For the information of Your Honour and the Legislative Assembly, I have the
honour to submit a report for the fiscal year ending the 31st of October, 1920,
covering the Department of Lands and Forests.

Prior to the year 1906 the management and control of the natural resources
of the Province as applicable to Lands, Forests and Mines, rested in the " Depart-
ment of Crown Lands " but in that year by Legislative Amendment the " Depart-
ment of Lands, Forests and Mines " was substituted therefor. This designation
obtained up to the 1920 Session of the Legislative Assembly, when under an Act,
known as " The Department of Mines Act," assented to June 4th, 1920, a separate
Department of Mines was established, the hitherto parent Department thus becom-
ing " The Department of Lands and Forests." Consequently, the data furnished
herein is excluded to the Lands and Forests, while that bearing on the Mining
Industry may be found in the Report of the Department of Mines.

Colonization and Immigration.

The Colonization and Immigration Branch of the Province, which had been
under the jurisdiction of the Department of Lands, Forests and Mines since the
6th of January, 1916, was by Order-in-Council dated the 12th March, 1920, trans-
ferred to the Department of Agriculture, to which it had formerly been attached
-0 that statistics bearing upon this service may be obtained from the reports of the
Minister of Agriculture.

Clergy Lands.

Clergy Lands to the extent of 82 acres were sold for $57.40 and the collection
on account of same and former sales of such lands was $862.21. (See Appendix
No. 3, page 23.)

Common School Lands.

The area of these lands sold during the year was 146.25 acres for $200.77,
while the collection on account of those and former sales was $5,527.74. (See
Appendix No. 3, page 23.)

Grammar School Lands.

An area of 151 acres was sold for $231.00. The collection on account of
former sales was $756.16. (See Appendix No. 3, page 23.)

[5]

REPOl^T OF THE ' Xo. 3

University Lands,

The area of these lands sold during the year was 720.87 acres for $360.44.
The amount collected on account of these and former sales was $1,806.18. (See
Appendix jSTo. 3, page 23.)

Ceown Lands.

There was sold during the year for agricultural and town site purposes
72,591.08 acres for $69,956.87. The collection on account of these and former
sales was $81,480.12.

Crown Lands to the extent of 10,688.81 acres were leased for $2,155.06.
Collections on these and former leases amounted to $59,583.18.

The total area of Crown Lands disposed of by sale and lease throughout the
year was 84,379.81 acres for the sum of $72,961.54. The total collections on
account of sales, leases, etc., were $150y015.59. (See Appendix No. 3, page 23.)

Bush lot in 1917, 120 acres cleared in 1920. Farm of R. R. Long and Son, in Bowman

Township.

Settlers in Sale Townships.

The tendency towards purchasing lands in Northern Ontario for pioneer
settlement slightly improved over the previous year. Temiskaming District with
its agencies at New Liskeard, Englehart, Matheson, and Cochrane, all falling
within the great clay belt, is more largely in the eye of prospective land settlers
than any other particular section, presumably because it offers, by means of the
Provincial Government Railway and the Transcontinental Line, a ready means of
acquiring the best of clay loam soil and a reasonable supply of pulpwood. There
a settler is able to secure regular employment in the bush or lumber camps during
the winter months to earn sufficient means to assist him in clearing and improving
his homestead and, with the advantages accruing from his rights under a fairly
generous land regulation whereby, subject to certain conditions, he may cut and
sell his pulpwood, the settler, if possessed of ambition and energy, should make
good.

Numerous inquiries are received from time to time relative to the securing
of land in all parts of the Province and with a view to facilitating the granting

1920-21 DEPABTMENT OF LAN^DS AND FOEESTS.

of applications inspections are made of sold lots to check up the improvements
of holders of unpatented claims. When delinquents are found cancellation is
effected and though over 400 individuals acquired by purchase farm lots in surveyed
areas the Crown cancelled 208 sales for failure of the purchasers to meet the pre-
scribed conditions of settlement.

Permission was granted to 375 settlers to assign their interests for divers
reasons, the assignee in each case being required to pay the purchase price in full,
rather than by instalments.

Settlers to the number of 425 satisfied -the requirements and obtained their
patents in sale townships.

Special provision is made in the case of soldiers who held unpatented land
and served in the Canadian Expeditionary Forces overseas, whereby arrears oi
payments due the Crown are remitted and patents issued on completion of settle-
ment duties. A free grant of 160 acres may be made to a returned soldier condi-
tional that he perform the homestead duties. A considerable number have availed
themselves of these privileges.

Several of the isolated remaining Clergy, Grammar and Common School Land
Sales were paid in full and the rightful claimants secured patents. (For tabulated
statement see Appendix Xo. 8, page 34.)

Free Geants.

Since the Great War there has been a gradual growth of actual settlers taking
free homesteads and the number has again increased over last year, there being
654 during the year. The price of farm products has been fairly steady and the
cro})s quite bountiful and these factors while tending towards settlement in the
older portions of the Province apparently influence those land seekers who are
desirous of obtaining free farms for homesteading. The average individual farm
location increased from 125 acres of a 3^ear ago to 166 acres this year when the
total area thus located comprised 88,813 acres. Patents for Free Grant lands
issued to 458 persons covering an area of 53,395 acres, while over 7,500 acres were
purchased in small parcels within Free Grant territory for fuel, pasture, pleasure
and summer resort purposes.

A number of settlers have come from Michigan and Minnesota States and some
are returning to Rainy River and Thunder Bay Districts from the dry belts of
Saskatchewan and Alberta, and in addition to the new locations, where after in-
spection by a Crown official it is found the Jocatee is not making good, is a specu- ,
lator or a spurious holder, his location is cancelled and the land resumed. In this
way over 70,000 acres reverted to the Crown during the past year.

The Free Grant areas of the province are widely scattered, both Old and New
Ontario having their respective territories. Certain sections south of the French
River and Georgian Bay, opened many years ago, have been very largely alienated
in respect of the choice arable land as it goes in the rocky formations. Isolated
lots arise regularly where at least fifty per cent, of the land is fit for farming,
the minimum percentage pre.<«ented by the regulations, but in most instances these
are sections comprised in timber berths, and frequently serious objections are
registered by the timber licensees against disposing of the land. Where, however,
the Crown is convinced that the applicant has bona-fide intentions of becoming a
-farmer in the general accept-ation of the term every reasonable opportunity is
afforded him. irrespective of the timber licensees' protestations, which nevertheless

No. 3

are always investigated. Eetardation of real settlement is not encouraged by sus-
taining every objection of timber dealers. Neither is the holding of land ostensibly
for settlement though in reality for timber manipulation, condoned.

MiLITAKY GkANTS.

The Act 1, Edward YII, Cap. 6, which governs these grants, came into force
on the 15th of April, 1901.

This Act is applicable to all persons who had served in the Canadian Militia
and were called out for active service in the Province of Ontario and to persons

River scene, Northern Ontario.

who enlisted in ' Ontario for service and went to South Africa during the " Boer
War " with the regular military forces of this Province.

A person claiming land under this Act was required to furnish evidence satis-
factory to the ^linister of Ivands that he was a member of one of these classes, and
all claims were required to be filed with the Minister of Lands before the 30th day
of September, A.D., 1908.

On receipt of this evidence a certificate was issued to the veteran, giving him
authority to select 160 acres of land in certain, townships, designated for this pur-
pose by Order-in-Council.

This certificate was also accepted by the Department of Lands for the sum
of $80 in payment for lands purchased from, the said Department, or could be
surrendered to the Government and an allowance of $50 in cash given therefor.

1920-21 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS. 9

Au ameudment to the Veterans' Land Grant Act was passed by the Legisla-
ture of the Province of Ontario in the Session of 1920, to come into force and take
effect on the 1st of June, 1920, providing " That lands located and granted under
this Act, have passed out of the ownership of such persons and are being held out
of production, and an inspection of these lands shows that the owner lives outside
of the District in which the lands are situate, notice may be sent to the owner
that such owner must within one year from the date of notice become a bona-fide
user or occupant of said lands and comply with the regulations made under this
Act and that in default of his so doing all his right, title and interest in the said
lands shall revert to the Crown, but the owner of such lands shall be entitled to
be paid by the Treasurer of Ontario an amount equal to the purchase money
received by the Province on the sale of the lands under this Act." But few appli-
cations and inquiries in pursuance of this amendment were filed during the past
year.

Under the Act 1, Edward VII, Cap. 6, and amendments thereto, there have
been issued 13,998 certificates and although the time for receiving applications for
these grants expired on the 30th of September, 1908, there are still letters being
received from men or their next of kin, who were entitled to this grant, who claim
that they have only now become aware of the fact. These applications, therefore,
could not now be accepted and no forms of applications have been sent out.

During the past year there have been located 35 of these certificates covering
5,640 acres in the townships open for veterans, making in all a total of 8,364
certificates thus located.

In seven cases the certificates have been surrendered and applied in payment
of lands purchased from the Crown, covering in all 703 acres, making a total of
798 that have thus been applied.

There was one certificate surrendered to the Crown for the $50 commutation
money, making a total of 3,264 certificates surrendered in this manner.

During the year there have been issued 69 patents for lands located by
veterans, and in all 7,440 have thus been disposed of.

The total number of certificates that have, therefore, been disposed of is
12,426, leaving 1,572 that are still outstanding. "

During the year 13 veteran locations, covering 2,118 acres, were cancelled for
the non-performance of the settlement duties to which they became subject on
account of being assigned before patent was issued.

Under the Act 1, Edward VII, Cap. 6, and amendments thereto covering these
grants it is necessary for all locatees of the lands located to apply for their patents
before ten years have expired from the date of location. If this application for
patent is not made within ten years, then the land comes imder the settlement
regulations, and unless the settlement duties are proceeded with the locations are
liable to cancellation. Previous to the expiration of the ten years after location,
the Department sends a notice to each veteran directing him to the provision
respecting patent and in this manner has saved many of the locatees from losing
their lands by forfeiture. (See Appendix No. 11.)

Collections.

The total revenue of the Department from all sources was $2,911,047.13. Of
this, $81,480.12 came from Agricultural Lands and Townsites: $59,583.18 Crown
Leases. From Woods and Forests the revenue was $2,656,630.51 made up of the

Disbursements.

The total expenditure of the Department for ordinary service was $1,624,-
805.51. Some of the principal items were: Crown Land Agents' Salaries and
Disbursements, $20,120,72; Homestead Inspectors, $21,725.39; Crown Timber

$451,808.59; Grant, Canadian Forestry Association, $1,000.00; Commissions re
Sundry Investigations, $50,000.00; Contingencies, Lands and Forests, $36,667.32;
Travelling Expenses, Lands and Forests, $2,721.42; Contingencies, Forestry
Branch, $2,093.49; Contingencies, Colonization Eoads Branch, $3,223.02; Travel-
ling Expenses, Colonization Eoads, $936.56.

Woods and Forests.

The accrued revenue from Woods and Forests for the year ending October
31st, 1920, amounted to $3,120,808.41, an increase of $842,249.75 over the pre-
ceding year.

The revenue collected also shows a substantial increase over previous year's
collections, being $2,656,630.51 as against $1,805,081.36, an increase of
$853,549.15.

In season 1919-20 the returns show a slight falling off in quantity of pulpwood
and cordwood taken out. In all other classes of timber the production shows a
gratifying increase.

The quantity of sawlog, boom and square pine timber cut during past season
totalled 312,924,391 feet B.M., an increase of 121,000,000 feet B.M. The pro-
duction of other timber amounted to 52,729,965 feet B.M., or over 15,000,000
more than that for the previous season.

The quantity of pulpwood taken off Crown Lands last season was 306,696
cords or 13,499 cords less than in 1918-19.

For several years previous to 1918-19 little railway construction was attempted
but in that season the demand for ties increased the production from 2.094,099
taken out in 1917-18 to over 5,000,000 for season 1918-19, The number of ties
taken out during the season of 1919-20 was 6,102,287 or 961,633 greater than in
1918-19.

Lands Under License.

The area under license at the close of the fiscal year was 14,8951/4 square miles,
a reduction of 1,33534 square miles from the previous year.

A list of the timber berths sold during the year with the names of the success-
ful purchasers and the prices paid is being prepared for the next year's report.

The Kapuskasing Pulp Limit on the Kapuskasing River, in the Districts of
Timiskaming and Algoma, comprising 1,740 square miles, was offered for sale in
September, 1917, and was purchased by Messrs. S. A. Mundy and E. Stewart.
The price or flat rate to be paid was 75c. per cord for all classes of pulpwood, and
•$15.00 per thousand feet board measure for red and white pine. In pursuance of
the sale an agreement was entered into between the Crown and the purchasers
under date of 9th of February, 1918, for the effectual carrying out of the conditions
of sale. The purchasers, on the 2nd of March, 1918, transferred their interests to
Spruce Falls Pulp and Paper, Limited, who for divers reasons were granted exten-
sions of time during 1919, in respect of their obligations as to the erection of
pulp mill, etc. Operations not having been proceeded with, negotiations in 1920
resulted in an extending agreement dated April 23rd, 1920, followed by a sub-
stitutional agreement of the 11th of June, 1920, and by an Order-in-Council of
the loth of June, 1920, which increased the dues payable from 75c. per cord to
•$L15 per cord upon spruce pulpwood and to 95c. per cord upon balsam and other
classes of pulpwood.

On the 6th of July, 1920, Spruce Falls Pulp and Paper Company assigned
their rights to Spruce Falls Company, Limited. Then by agreement, dated the
4th of August, 1920, the Crown conveyed 446 acres, including the hitherto Kapus-
kasing Colony farm, to the Company at a price of $100.00 an acre for the cleared
land and -$2.00 an acre for the unstumped portion, while a portion of O'Brien
Township, approximating forty square miles, was added to the pulp limit, but the
rate for the spruce pulpwood on the additional area was fixed at $1.60 per cord
and on the other classes of pulpwood at $1.30 per cord, the Crown having the right
nevertheless over the whole limit to increase the rates in proportion to any general
increase in the rates of dues payable throughout the Province, which may hereafter
be made by amendment to the Crown Timber Regulations.

The Spruce Falls Company have, in accordance with the agreement, under-
taken operations on a large scale and construction is in full swing. By the 1st of
July, 1922, a i-awmill of a minimum capacity of 70,000 feet daily, in two shifts, is
to he in operation and by the 1st of January, 1922, a pulp mill with a daily output
of not less than 100 tons of pulp.

From the progress made at the writing of this report it is fully expected that
these mills shall be completed and in running operation by the middle of next
summer.

The Company are required to erect a paper mill on or before the 1st of January,
1928, with a minimum capacity of fifty tons of paper per day.

The chain of agreements with the necessary Orders-in-Council and other data
shall be printed in pamphlet form under another cover.

Cullers' Examination,

Two examinations were held during the year, one at Callander and one at
Kenora. Twelve candidates succeeded in passing the examination and were d\ily
granted certificates authorizing them to act as Cullers. For names of Cullers who
passed at these examinations see page 36, Appendix 1(». For complete list of
Culler^ see Minister's Report for 1917. 1918 and 1919.

EEPORT OF THE

Ceown Surveys.

Instructions were issued to twenty Land Surveyors during the year to perform
surveys on Crown lands in different parts of Northern Ontario.

The work consisted of surveying base and meridian lines, outlining six and
nine mile townships, traversing larger lakes, rivers and islands, principally on the
head waters of the rivers flowing to James Bay, the running of timber berth lines
and the laying out of town sites.

No instructions were given for the subdivision of townships into farm lots,
the area already subdivided being considerably in advance of settlement.

Minesing Road, Algonquin Park.

Municipal Surveys.
■I
Petitions for the resurvey and establishing of original road allowances were

received from the Corporations of the Municipalities of the Township of Beverly,
Township of Gloucester, Township of North Easthope.

Upon the necessary Orders-in-Council being passed instructions were issued
accordingly for such surveys and the same, w'hen completed, were duly confirmed
or amended as provided for under the Survey Act. The Municipal Surveys, which
were being performed under instructions prior to the present year and which were

1920-21 DEPAETMENT OF LANDS AND FOEESTS. 13

confirmed, are as follows, petitions of the Municipalities of : County of Bruce,
Township of Cartwright, Township of Wainfleet.

Detailed summary and description of the several surveys aforesaid will be
found in Appendices 15 to 40 inclusive.

Paeks.

Prior to the establishment of the Department of Mines, the provincial parks
were under the supervision of the Deputy Minister of Mines, but these were re-
tained by the Department of Lands and Forests and are subject to its jurisdiction.

Eondeau Provincial Park, which had been subject to the direction of the
Department of Public Works and Highways was transferred to the Department
of Lands and Forests by Order-in-Council, May 4th, 1920, so that the three out-
standing parks, namely, Quetico, Algonquin and Eondeau, are now u^nder the
direction of the Minister of Lands and Forests. (For the reports on these parks
by the Superintendents, see Appendices 41, 42 and 49.)

Colonization Eoads.

At the last Session of the Legislative Assembly an Act was passed confirming
the transfer of this Branch from the Department of Public Works, ^v'hich took
place on March 1st, 1919. Power was also given under this Act to make grants
to municipalities in the Colonization Eoads area towards the purchase of road-
making machinery and materials and towards the salaries of township foremen
on road construction.

An Annual Eeport as to the work of the Colonization Eoads Branch will be
found in Appendix No. 43, page 120.

NoETHEEN Development Beanch.

The regrettable death on June 12th, last, of Mr. J. F. Whitson, Commissioner
of the Branch since its inception, was one of the outstanding incidents of the year.
At his death the office of Commissioner was abolished and the operations of the
Branch placed in charge of Mr. C. H. Fullerton, Superintendent of the Coloniza-
tion Eoads Branch.

The main feature of the season was the opening for traffic of the road from

1920-21 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FOEESTS. 15

To give effect to the recommendations contained in the report of the Com-
mission of Enquiry, a Board of Adjustment was appointed by Orders-in-Council
dated the 17th and 37th of April, 1930, consisting of General John Gunn, Alex-
ander Stewart Morgan and Archibald Leitch, to which Board Dr. A. H. Abbott
was later named as secretary. By an Act passed on the 31st of April, 1930, which
was an amendment to the Returned Soldiers' and Sailors' Land Settlement Act,
provisions were made for the hearing and determining of complaints, etc., and for
the adjustment of other grievances and the awarding of grants in settlement
thereof.

The full report of the Board of Adjustment is contained in Appendix No. 46.

The Provincial Colony Farm was sold to the Spruce Falls Company, Limited,
under agreement of the 4th of August, 1920, and their pulp and other mills are
being erected upon this land. The price paid was $100.00 an acre for the cleared
and $8.00 an acre for the unstumped land.

The Government proposes to establish by special legislation at the next session
a municipality to be known as Kapuskasing, the intention being to develop an
ideal northern town.

Settlers' Loax.

To the end ol' the 31st of October, 1930, 3,337 applications for loans, repre-
senting $8,747.60 or an average of $384,61 per application were received, but only
such applications were entertained where it was clearly shown that the money
could be used to good advantage for the improvement of the settlement duties.
Altogetiher ,1,^558 loans, which included one of $13,000.00 to the Sudbury Co-
operative Creamery Company, Limited, and one of $8,000.00 to the Dairy Co-
operative Association, have been made to settlers, these loans amounting to
$490,836.00.

It is gratifying to observe that over 90 per cent, of the interest payments are
up to date and payments of principal of over 97 per cent, of the amount due.
Appreciation has been expressed by those receiving loans of the advantages that
have accrued to them in the work of carrying on land clearances, etc.

For a detailed statement by the Loan Commissioner, see Appendix No. 47.

FORESTRY BRANCH.
Fire Protection.

The forest fire protection work was continued this season under the jurisdic-
tion of the Forestry Branch. The season opened with a very dry period and we
were without rain for about two months. Practically 60 per cent, of the season's
fires were recorded during this early period.

The origin of fn-es as shown in the report of the Forestry Branch has con-
siderable interest. We find that during this last season 83.9 per cent, of the total
fires were of railway origin. From the report it will be seen that forest §res of
railway origin are greatly decreasing, as the following figures will show :

Fire? of railway origin 1917 — 49.5 per cent.

Fires of railway origin 1918 — 46.5 per cent.

Fires of railway origin 1919 — 37.0 per cent.

Fires of railway origin 1920 — 23.9 per cent.

16 EEPOET OF THE ' No. 3

The above improvement is due to increased protective metliods applied along
railway lines, but evidently from the report it is greatly owing to the increased
efficiency of locomotive inspection work. This work, which is carried out by
provincial officers under the jurisdiction of the Board of Railway Commissioners
of Canada, is assisting to a large extent in the elimination of railway fires.

One interesting feature of the report is the fact that 65.5 per cent, of the
season's fires originated in cut-over areas in which the logging slash created a
serious fire hazard. This again emphasizes the necessity for further measures in
connection with the solving of the slash disposal problem.

During the past season 6,154 permits were issued for the burning of slash.
The slash on 22,767 acres was burned under the issuing of these permits.

FoEEST Investigation.

The Forestry Branch has carried on during the past season a new line of work
in connection with forest survey and land classification. This work is being done
in the southern part of the Huron and Ottawa region, covering the southern
portion of the Fire District. The survey is being done to differentiate forest land
from agricultural land and to record the various features of the region from the
standpoint of future forest management. One million seven hundred and twenty
thousand acres were covered during the past season, and it is predicted that all
of the region south of Lake Nipissing will be finished during the coming season.
This is the -first work done in connection with the plan of a definite forest recon-
naissance of the Province.

Refokestation.

The work connected with reforestation has been enlarged along the following
lines. The equipment and nursery organization at the Provincial Forest Station
at Norfolk has been enlarged in order to meet the growing demands for forest
planting stock. During the past season the Forestry Branch were able to secure
a very fine lot of native forest tree seeds, which will be used in the further pro-
duction of nursery stock to facilitate this work. The distribution of trees was
again carried on, over some 130,000 trees having been shipped out to various appli-
cants. It is interesting to note that these forest plantations, which are made by
way of demonstration, and for educational purposes, are having a splendid effect
in influencing local opinion along these lines.

Tree Diseases.

Durino- last summer Dr. J. H. Faull continued his investigations of diseases
of trees in Northern Ontario, his chief work being connected with studies of com-
mercial trees in Temagami Forest Reserve region. Details of this work are given
in the Forestry Branch Report, and evidently the problem of forest tree diseases
will require considerable investigation as it appears that it will influence future
cutting methods and policy as to future sales. See Appendix No. 48, page 206,

Appendix No. 15.

Eeport on Crown Land Surveys.

Sir, — Acting under instructions given during the past year twenty Ontario
Land Surveyors with accompanying parties were engaged on field-work throughout
the northern part of the Province. The extent and nature of these surveys may
be briefly described as follows:

Exploratory Work.

A meridian Tine extending north from the westerly end of Lac Seul for one
hundred miles into the District of Patricia and a base line forty miles west there-
from were surveyed by K. G. Eoss, O.L.S. Similar work to the same extent
north of Lake St. Joseph was performed by J. S. Dobie, O.L.S., last year. The
reports and returns of this work may be considered to give in a general way the
character of the country in the District of Patricia south of latitude fifty-two
degrees north.

The western limit of the Nipigon Forest Reserve in the District of Thunder
Bay was established on the ground by Phillips & Benner, O.L.S., and this meridian
was extended north to White Water Lake on tlie Ogoki River waters. Latitude
fifty degress forty-five minutes north, longitude eighty-nine degrees ten minutes
west. This vast forest reserve comprising seven thousand square miles surrounding
Lake Nipigon has now been defined on the ground with the exception of the north
limit and this will enable the Department to deal with timber and mining lands
in that district and the lines will form a base from which other exploratory work
can be carried on.

Township Boundaries, Nine Mile System.

Outlines of twelve, nine mile townships in the Districts of Timiskaming and
Algoma on the Ground Hog and Kapuskasing River watersheds were surveyed
by Sutcliffe & Neelands, O.L.S., and N. B. MacRostie, O.L.S. This work com-
pletes the blocking of the territory lying between the two lines of the Canadian
National Railway in the District of Timiskaming. The reports on this work
indicate a large area of good clay land but requiring extensive drainage to make
suitable for agriculture. The territory covered is well timbered with spruce, poplar,
birch and balsam.

Township Boundaries, Six Mile System.

A large unexplored area in the District of Sudbury lying north of the
Canadian Pacific Railway between Ramsay and Dalton Stations was blocked out
in six mile townships, this work being assigned to Ontario Land Surveyors H. J.
Beatty, J. W. Fitzgerald, C. V, Gallagher, McAuslan & Anderson, Speight &
Van Nostrand, and A. C. Young. This area is not suitable for agriculture and
may be described as a boulder country with sand clay and muskeg, rough and
hilly, timbered with second growth spruce, banksian pine, birch, balsam and poplar.

Another area comprising six townships in the vicinity of White Lake and
Shabotik River north of the Canadian Pacific Railway and immediately west of
the district line between Thunder Bay and Algoma. was blocked out by M, E.
Crouch. O.L.S. This area is well timbered with banksian pine and is unsuitable
for agriculture.

52 EEPOET OF THE Xo. 3

Lake and Eiver Teaverse Surveys.

The work was continued this year by C. E. Kenny, O.L.S., on the Missinaibi
Lake and Eiver; T. G. Code, O.L.S., on the Ground Hog Eiver and headwater lakes;
Bingham & Kirkup, O.L.S., on the Nagagami Lake and Eiver and Pagwachuan
Eiver in the District of Algoma; T. J. Patten, O.L.S., on Lake Penage and
Whitefish Eiver; J. S. Dobie, O.L.S., on Lake St. Joseph, Island Lake and
Kashaweogama Lake.

The report of the geologist with Ontario Land Surveyor Dobie's party last
year indicated the possibility of iron ore deposits in territory adjacent to Kashaweo-
gama Lake and Lake St. Joseph and it seemed advisable that a more detailed
survey should be made in this area.

The beautiful expanse of Lake Penage and islands therein, its accessibility to
steamboat and railroad traffic, though sufficiently removed for quiet, makes this
district very attractive as a summer resort proposition.

The larger rivers flowing north to James Bay are being accurately mapped
and the water power and timber prospects reported on and filed for future reference.

Miscellaneous Surveys.

Timber lines as required were surveyed by Lincoln Mooney, O.L.S. These
consisted of work in the Township of Noble, in the District of Sudbury, Township
D in the District of Algoma and Timber Berth E in the District of Nipissing.
Wherever practicable these lines were marked permanently and will be used in
further subdivisions of the townships when required.

TOWNSITE.

The survey of a small townsite at Gogama in the ToAvnship of Noble, District
of Sudbury, was assigned to Lincoln Mooney, O.L.S. This subdivision adjoining
the Canadian National Eailway line was required to take care of the locating
and housing of the population in that lumber manufacturing area. .

Instructions were issued to G. F. Summers, O.L.S,, to survey a townsite at
Kapuskasing on the Canadian National Eailway, Township of O'Brien, District
of Timiskaming. Owing to the location of the Spruce Falls Pulp Company's plant
the townsite survey has been delayed but a definite location for the town has
now been decided upon and work is progressing upon the subdivision.

W. H. Fairchild, O.L.S., was directed to mark certain boundaries of CrOwn
lands and lay out park lots on the Lake Erie front at Long Point, Township of
Walsingham. The method of dealing with this area and manner in which it
should be controlled may now be intelligently considered.

E. T. Ireson, O.L.S., was instructed to proceed with the Canadian Aero
Film Company's seaplane to James Bay and to cruise the territory south and
west thereof and report as fully as possible from observation the character of
the country covered. The conditions under which these instructions were carried
out and the difficulties met with are fully described in his report herewith. (See
Appendix 40.)

The stone monument planted to mark the interprovincial boundary at Port
Fortune on the bank of the Ottawa Eiver was found to be out of place and
arrangements were made with the Department of Lands and Forests, Quebec, to

1920-21 DEPAETMENT OF LANDS AND EOKESTS. 53

have this monument replaced. In accordance therewith J. Hutcheon, O.L.S.,
Inspector of Surveys for Ontario, and D. W. Mills, O.L.S., Inspector of Surveys
for Quebec, proceeded to that point and had the monument repaired and replaced
in its original position and otherwise referenced to preserve this point on the
boundary permanently. The joint report on this matter is not yet completed
but will appear next year.

C. E. Pitton, O.L.S., was engaged as Inspector of the field work of the several
outline parties and as far as possible examined a part of the work in charge of
each surveyor. His reports show that in most cases the work was satisfactorily
performed and well up to the standard set in the instructions.

The plans, field notes and accounts when forwarded to the Department were
duly examined and checked by the Inspector of Surveys.

A standard iron post similar to that used on Dominion land survey work
has been adopted and was used at three mile points on all base and meridian
and outline surveys made this year. The post consists of one inch iron pipe thirty
inches long filled with cement with foot plate of pressed steel three and one-half
inches in diameter and cap of bronze three inches in diameter. A hole is dug
and the post is sunk so that the cap is flush with the surface. The ground is
properly tamped around the post to make the position firm. The cap bears the
inscription in the form of a circle " Ontario Crown Land Surveys," also " Seven
years imprisonment for removal." In the centre of the circle is marked the mile-
age from township corners or from the initial point of starting in case of meridian
and base lines. The posts are referenced to mounds, pits and bearing trees.
This method of marking boundaries will tend to create a permanency not here-
tofore acquired. The same post is also being used to mark boundaries established
by Municipal Surveys under the authority as set out in sections 15, 16, and 17
of the Survey Act. The inscription on the cap of the post being " Ontario
Municipal Surveys."

The detailed reports of the several surveys performed which have been filed
during the year will be found in Appendices 15 to 40, inclusive..

SUEVEY OF PaetS OF THE TOWNSHIPS OF DeVON AND HaETINGTON, DiSTEICT OF

Thundee Bay.

FoET William, February 25th, 1920.

SiE, — I have the honour to submit the following report on the survey of
Devon Township in the District of Thunder Bay, carried out under instructions
dated the 16th day of May, 1919.

On receipt of your instructions I engaged Mr. E, S. Kirkup, O.L.S., who
served his time with me before going overseas, to assist in the work. After
receiving notification of the preparation of the instructions, I received locally a
representation favouring the employment of returned soldiers. My party as
originally made up contained considerably more than half soldiers; unfortunately^
many were not able to stand the bush life since their return from overseas :,
however, while I was not able to maintain as high an average of returned nieii
on this party, some were always employed and as vacancies occurred the official
in charge of that section of the employment bureau dealing with returned men;
always received the first requests for men.

Having completed the organization of the party I moved supplies and outfit
by means of lorries to within three miles of the International Boundary. From
this point outfits and canoes were packed in over the South Fowl Lake trail to
Hospital Bridge on the Arrow Eiver from which points the river was used as
far as low water and rapids would permit.

Commencing at the intersection of the interior lines of the township, run
last year, I ran east, following out the instructions, and struck good country all
the way to the west boundary of Pardee Township. The depth of concessions
three and four north of the blind line, I cut down to fifty chains depth east of
the eighteenth sideline on account of the rocky nature of the country to the
north, as shown in last year's report. I also found it advisable to limit the
depth of concession one to sixty chains from the twelfth sideline east. The
remaining concessions of the township are all eighty chains in depth with the
exception of that part of concession four which fronts the west boundary, which
is sixty chains in depth.

Following the completion of the survey of Devon Township, the survey of
the part of Hartington Township covered by the same instructions was carried
out. The fronts of lots one to twenty-four and the south-west and north-west
corners respectively of lots one and twenty-four were properly posted, and referred
to bearing trees, and the sixth, twelfth and eighteenth sidelines were duly
established.

Separate plan and field notes of this part of the township have been prepared
in accordance with my instructions.

In accordance with your instructions I laid out in the south-east portion
of the Township of Devon a road diverging from a point in the twelfth sideline
and running thence easterly until the sixth sideline was struck, as shown on the
accompanying plan. On the sixth sideline access can be had to the east boundary
of the township by way of the road allowance between concessions three and four.

The road allowance along the east boundary suggested in the instructions was
not very practicable owing to the broken nature of the country, including one

1920-21 DEPAETMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS. 61

very rough hill three hundred feet high, which crosses the boundary just north
of the blind line between concessions two and three.

The chainmen were well posted in their work before starting out, and remained
^cith me throughout the survey.

The lines will be found to be well opened up and blazed, with substantial
well-marked posts planted, and bearing trees well chosen and marked where they
were available. A number of the lines ran through brule and on these we were
only able to blaze old dry stumps and fallen trees. However, we planted pickets
at frequent intervals, firmly in the ground, so there should be no difficulty in
picking up the line.

All points required by the instructions were marked with iron posts. The
traverse work was left to the end of the work and a set back was experienced in
tliat both transits were damaged in the rapids, and it was necessary to secure
another transit from the city.

Observations for Azimuth and Time were taken from time to time during
the survey, as weather conditions permitted.

Soil.

The township as laid out gives to each lot a share in the good arable land
which lies throughout the valley of the Arrow River. The timber in a good
many cases has been burnt off and in some the fire has been through a number
of times, making the clearing of considerable areas comparatively easy. The land
in the south-east corner of the township is broken by a large rocky range of hills,
the land on either side, however, being of an agricultural nature.

The agricultural land referred to consists mostly of clay, white to light
brown in colour, and clay loam, with some sandy loam scattered throughout the
township mostly towards the east end. Along the Tote Road to South Fowl
Lake the brush is cleared out and hay is growing freely. In concession three,
lot twelve, the Pigeon River Lumber Company have a cultivated clearing of about
thirty-five acres, on which they grow crops of some nature each year, and I
believe the results are gratifying.

Minerals.

The rock throughout the greater part of the township is granite, while there
is considerable showing of low grade iron, along the Arrow River towards the
west end of the township and in the range in the south-east end of the township.

Timber.

The whole township has been lumbered over at a comparatively recent date
aud if there was any good timber left it has long since been ravaged by the bush
fires which have raged through that country from time to time. There is an area
of small spruce on lots six to nine inclusive, just south of the Arrow River, and on
lots thirty-three to thirty-six in the vicinity of the blind line, which would make
good pulpwood in a few years.

The country is covered principally with small birch, poplar and banksian pine.

63 REPORT OF THE Xo. 3

Game.

Beaver are the principal occupants of the region, in fact, tliere was hardly
a line south of the Arrow River that did not cross a dam at some point or other.
There are beaver houses in many places along the Arrow River. Moose and
bear were plentiful. Some red deer were seen.

There are two main trails through the township, the South Fowl Lake trail,
crossing the Arrow River on what is known as the Hospital Bridge in lot six,
concession three, and the Silver Mountain trail, which in a general way follows
the Arrow River on the north side to the north-west corner of the township, and
thence to Silver Mountain; this trail is. blocked considerably, west of the logging
dam, by windfalls. There are many old lumber trails leading into these main
arteries which would help the settler to open up his farm.

There is a well constructed logging dam across the Arrow River on lot
sixteen, concession three, which holds the water back for several miles.

The Arrow River drops about forty feet at Mary Falls in lot four, con-
cession two, but at the time of the survey the dam was holding back the water
so that at the falls the water was only twelve feet wide by a foot and a half deep.

I beg to forward herewith field notes of survey, plans of townships, plan
showing field notes of traverses of Arrow River and of the road laid out across
lots seven to twelve, Devon Township,

I trust that everything will be found satisfactory.

All of which is respectfully submitted.

I have the honour to be. Sir,

Your obedient servant,

Appendix No. 20,
Survey of Township Base and Meridian Lines, District of Thunder Bay.

Fort William, February 28th, 1920.

SiR^ — I have the honour to submit the following report on the survey of
Base and Meridian Lines in the District of Thunder Bay, carried out under your
instructions dated 8th of July, 1919, being an extension of my instructions for
the survey of parts of the Townships of Devon and Hartington, dated 16th of
May, 1919.

My instructions called for the employment of two men as land cruisers and
I was fortunate eventually in securing Kenneth Spence who prior to his service

1920-21 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FOEESTS. 63

overseas had had years of experience on railway preliminary and location surveys,
and similar work, as instrument man, etc. ; and Lionel Merritt who has been
raised on a farm in this district and knew what was involved in the development
of a bush farm. Together they were a splendid team.

They were instructed in examining land to have in mind the point of view
of a possible future settler, and to consider at all times the possibility of future
development of the land with the prospect of success for the settler.

Mr. E. S. Kirkup, O.L.S., assisted throughout the work, and the subsequent
preparation of the returns.

Our party and supplies were taken in by way of Nolalu on the P. D. & W.
branch of the Canadian National Eailway, thence by team as far as road and
trail held good, thence by packing to the north-west corner of Marks Township.
After diligent search the stump of the old post was found where a logging road
crossed the line marking the north boundary, the top of the post being found at
the side of the road. This point of post was renewed according to instructions.

An observation was then taken and the lines started west and north.

While running the first base line westward, two men searched for three days
to find a trail through the westerly part of Aldina. They then returned and
advised that owing to the roughness of the country to be travelled the moVing of
part of the outfit be made back to Nolalu and that the north-west corner of
Strange Township be reached from Mile 47 on the P. D, & W. branch.

Accordingly, the whole party and part of the outfit was moved round this
way to the north-west corner of Strange Township,

At this point I intersected the north and west limits of Strange Township
as marked by blazed lines; at the point of intersection a post was found marked
T.B.W. 2, T.B.W. 3, and W. 4. I planted our corner posts at this intersection.

The survey was then proceeded with according to instructions, the first and
second meridians being carried north from the north-west corners of Marks and
Strange Townships respectively, the first base line being run west from the said
corner of Marks as a chord of a parallel of latitude, and the second base line
being run east and west as chords of a parallel of latitude from a point six miles
north of the north-west corner of Marks Township; double chainage was used to
establish the starting point of the second base line as also in other parts of the
work.

On the west limit of Conmee Township connection was made with a post
of location E 710 on the south side of Thunder lake. The first meridian was
run north to intersect the Dawson Eoad and connection made with one of the
posts between lots seventy-eight and seventy-nine. The second meridian was run
north to cut the main line of the Canadian National Eailway and connection
made with the B.C. of 3 deg. curve immediately west of the west end of Annex
Siding, the noted chainage of same being obtained from the railway engineers.

All the lines will be found to be well opened up and well blazed throughout;
large well-marked posts were planted at each mile with iron posts at every third
mile as indicated in the instructions. Bearing trees were carefully chosen and
marked, where such were available.

Throughout the work careful search was made for the lines of the old loca-
tions shown on the plan accompanying instructions and ties made wherever such
could be found.

Observations for Azimuth were taken at least once on each line, time being
carpfullv checked by meridian transits of the sun.

64 EEPORT OF THE No. 3

Soil.

There was considerable loam and clay land met with, but much of it was so
broken by rocky hills, and contained so many boulders as to be unfit for agri-
cultural purposes. The only area that seemed really desirable agriculturally was
the north four miles of Sackville Township, and the south two miles of Laurie
Township. In the south-west corner of Home Township an area two miles by
two miles is also good. The southerly two miles of Sackville Township consists
of loam, but as the south boundary is approached it is very broken and there are
a lot of boulders. The agricultural area extends west of the second meridian for
approximately a mile from the third mile of the west boundary of Sackville to
the second mile of Laurie.

There are numerous trails throughout the district opened up in lumbering
operations. These are now blocked considerably by windfalls, but could readily
be opened up for the first needs of settlers.

Timber.

Practically the whole area covered by the survey has been cut over for lumber
at a comparatively recent date.

There is, however, some good white pine in the south-easterly part of Adair
Township, one particularly good area lying from one-half a mile to a mile north
of the north boundary of Marks, opposite lots seven and eight of that township.
"There is good white pine scattered throughout the east three miles of the south
two miles of Adair Township.

Minerals.

The rock throughout this area is mostly greenstone and granite.

There was very little surface showing of minerals except iron, of which there
is some indication throughout the whole region, particularly on the southerly part
of the west boundary of Sackville Township.

Game.

Bears and beaver are very plentiful in this area; moose and red deer were
also seen, but were not very plentiful.

I am forwarding herewith plan and field notes of survey, timber plan, affi-
davits, accounts, etc., and trust that everything will be found satisfactory.

All of which is. respectfully submitted.

I have the honour to be, Sir,

Your obedient servant,

Ontario Land Surveyor.

Appendix No. 21.
Survey of Township Outlines, District of Algoma.

Alvinston, December 31st, 1919.

Sir, — 1 beg to report that in accordance with instructions issued April 15th,
1919, for the survey of township outlines in the District of Algoma, along the
Opazatika and Kapuskasing Elvers, and south of the Transcontinental Eailway,
1 proceeded to Opazatika Station on July 2nd, after the usual preparation and
after engaging a survey party, paddled up Opazatika Eiver to the south boundary
of McCrea Township and after packing equipment to the south-west angle of
\[eCrea Township, the outline work was commenced.

The work was completed and the plan and field notes submitted herewith show
the character of country in detail, the waters intersected by the lines, and the
plan and timber map show, generally, the division, as nearly as could be ascer-
tained, of the classes of country through which the lines passed.

Owing to low water at the season the work was necessarily commenced, the
travel to the survey was rendered quite difficult as the Opazatika is very shallow
and landings could not be made at the usual portages, and owing to the dry season
in the summer it was quite difficult to obtain water for drinking purposes, and
in one case water was carried 1% miles to the camp for general use.

Forest fires in other sections of the country causing a general smoky atmos-
phere rendered it most difficult to secure astronomical observations in the summer
and in the fall the weather was so wet and cloudy it was equally difficult to secure
observations at the times such were needed. However, nine observations were
obtained and these are given on pages 73 to 81 of the field notes. The calculations
were made from " Astronomical Field Tables " as issued from the office of the
Surveyor General, Ottawa.

The variation of compass varies from 6° to 9° west — generally from 6° to ^14°
west of Cargill Township and 7° to 9° through Cargill.

The lines were well opened out and properly blazed, in fact, these are wider
than usual.

Posts of the best material obtainable were planted at the end of each mile
or as shown in the field notes submitted herewith, but in some cases it was im-
possible to mark bearing trees as some posts were planted in open country (so
far as trees are concerned) or in brule having a growth of poplar from 1 in. to 2 in.
diameter. The posts were well made, in general, and properly marked with a
timber scribe.

The twenty iron posts sent from your Department were planted as well,
ter being properly marked as shown in the field notes.

The astronon-jical observation taken at the north-west angle of Parnell Town-
'^hip was used to run south astronomically along the boundary of Shearer and
'arnell to VTTT miles plus 22.83 chains on the same line.

The observation taken at this point and shown on page 74 governed the line
south to 111 miles plus 10 chains on the boundary of Ecclestone and Fergus,
^and the observation at that point the line to the south end of the line between
^M'ergus and Ecclestone Townships. This observation is given on page 75.
^B The boundary of Shearer and Fergus was run by angle from the line between
^B*arnell and Shearer Townships for a chord of a parallel of latitude, as was also
^^■he boundarv between Parnell and Ecclestone to VT miles plus 2.64 chains, where

tin

i

si:

66 , EEPOET OF THE No. 3

the observation given on page 81 again governed the line to the north-east angle
of Ecclestone, and after turning along the meridian, the boundary of Ecclestone
and Cargill to 0 miles plus 66 chains, and from this point the observation given
on page 76 governed the course of the boundary of Ecclestone and Cargill to
the south end of the line, no further observation being obtainable.

Commencing at the mile post XVI plus 32.41 chains on the south boundary
of Ecclestone no observation was obtainable until 11 mile plus 6.80 chains was
reached on this production and the line was corrected as shown in the observation
given on page 77. This course was the governing course after turning the proper
angle for a 9 mile chord at the south-east angle of Ecclestone Township, to V
miles plus 6.04 chains on the south boundary of Cargill, when the line was
again corrected as shown in the observation on page 78, and this course governed
to the south-east angle of Cargill.

As will be noted the lines east and west were run on chords for the lengths
of the townships with the Orientation meridian through the centre of the town-
ship, and the lines north and south are run on the astronomical meridian.

On the line between Cargill and Sulman Townships which was run from
the north end, no observation was obtainable at this point and the line between
Gumming and Owens was produced to 1 mile plus 45.47 chains on the boundar}'
of Cargill and Sulman when it was found after observation was obtained that
the line had a bearing as shown on page 79 and it was then decided to run south
0° 2' east to the south-east angle of Cargill to balance the error in the north
1 mile plus 45.47 chains, and this bearing was checked by the observation given
on page 80 and the line found correct, and continued to the south-east angle of
Cargill. -

Topography.

Generally, with the exception of the southern end of the line between Eccle-
stone and Fergus and immediately east of the Opazatika Eiver on the south
boundary of Ecclestone where the country is undulating, the country is level or
rather slightly undulating and as a rule inclined to be swampy. A few small
creeks, most of which are without flow in a dry year, are met with, and there
are no lakes of any importance.

Soil.

The soil is composed of a subsoil of clay which has an admixture of sand
which should make it easily workable and the topsoil is a loam and in the lower
levels, a muck.

Generally, moss covers the soil west of the Opazatika River, where timber
was not burned in the last fire. East of this river, fire destroyed what timber
grew, and as well burned the muck but there has since formed a slight coating
of loam on the upper levels, and in the lower levels moss again covers the soil.

The soil is adapted to raising general roots and grains and is very much
of the nature of the. soil at the Dominion Government Experimental Farm at
Kapuskasing, where some fine roots and grains are grown.

The heavier clays will later require tile drainage to make the soil fully
productive.

Drainage of the lower levels will not be difficult as good fall is obtainable.

A few outcrops of ordinary country rock are to be found. -

1920-21 DEPAETMENT OF LANDS AND FOEESTS. 67

Timber.

The only timber of considerable size is to be found west of the Opazatika
Eiver, ranging from 3 in. to 10 in., and in some places to 12 in. or 14 in. This
timber is spruce, generally from 4 in. to 8 in. diameter, poplar 4 in. to 14 in.,
balsam, 2 in. to 8 in., W. birch, 3 in. to 10 in., dead tamarack, 4 in. to 8 in., with
some small green tamarack (a new growth), balm of gilead in places 4 in. to
12 in. Few cedar of value are to be found off the river.

This portion is also covered with a growth of underbrush, chiefly alders,
hazel and moose-maple.

Generally, the timber classification changes rapidly and there does not seem
to be any body of timber large enough to make profitable operations on a large
scale.

East of the Opazatika Eiver, the country has been burned over and is now
covered with a growth of poplar from 1 in. to 4 in. diameter and white birch-
about the same size, with a few patches of original timber of the class found
on the west side of the river and generally covered with a thick growth of alders
and hazel and in places with a thick growth of small spruce. In places the
original spruce and tamarack have fallen in " windfalls " which make travel
across such areas very difficult.

The timber east of the Opazatika Eiver cannot be said at present to be of
great value as the poplar and birch are only from 1 in. to 4 in. diameter, but in
time may be very fine cutting.

EOADS.

Probably the best way of reaching the area covered by the survey will be
later determined; possibly a road from Lowther on the Transcontinental Eailway
would give the best result. No deposits of gravel were observed on the lines run.

Minerals.

No minerals of any kind were found and the few outcrops of rock are grey
country rock of the kind usual to this section of the countrv. " ' \

Game and Msh.

^fffY!:''

Beaver are quite plentiful in this section of the country and have been very
industrious in damming up the small creeks, and as many as three families are
to be found fibove one dam in places. The work of these animals considerably
hindered the progress of the survey.

Moose are plentiful along the Opazatika Eiver and many signs of bear are to
be found east of the river. There does not appear to be many deer in this section
of country.

Small game does not seem to be so plentiful as usual and only a few part-
ridge and ducks are to be found. Signs of mink and muskrat were observed.

The fish to be found in the waters consist generally of pike and pickerely
and a species of " wall-eyed pike.'' The fish are not large but are quite plentiful.

Water Powers.

No survey of water powers was made, as I understand this work was cojn-
pleted by the surveyors making the traverse of the Opazatika and Kapuskasing

Elvers. The courses of the rivers are sh'own on the accompanying plan as given

Survey of a Meridiax and Base Line ix the Districts of Kenoua,
Thunder Bay and Patricia.

- . . TH'ESSALon, February 5th, 1920.

SiR,^-In accordance with your instructions dated April 15th, 1919, I have
completed the survey of a meridian and base line in the Districts of Kenora,
Thunder Bay and Patricia, and beg to submit the following report.

The meridian line was the northerly extension of the boundary between the
Districts of Kenora and Thunder Bay, and was commenced at the northerly
extremity of the portion of the said boundary which was run as far as the 120th
mile in 1900, by the late A. Mven, O.L.S. The meridian line crossed the
narrows of Lake St. Joseph, entering the district of Patricia, near the 62nd
mile, and was continued into the district of Patricia as far as the 120th mile. From
this point a base line was run due west, on six mile chords of a parallel of latitude,
for a distance 6f 40 miles, the 40th mile coming in a fairly large river which
enters Cat Lake from the north. The starting point of the meridian line is
located about eight miles north of Sturgeon Lake. Sturgeon Eiver was crossed
just north of the 2nd mile post, and the Canadian Government Eailway was
crossed at 12 miles 9.39 chains, at a point 19.35 chains east of Fowler Station.

The meridian line was run north astronomically, and was well cut out and
blazdd. A substantial wooden post of the best timber available was planted at
the end df'feVery mile, excepting where the end of a mile came in a lake or stream.
Wherever this occurred, a post was planted on the nearest shore and the number
of the nearest mile together with the distance from that mile was marked on the
post with a scribing iron. Every regular post had the number of the mile marked
thereon with a scribing iron. At the end of every third mile on the meridian
line, an iron post was planted beside the wooden one, and the number of the mile
marked thereon with a cold chisel. In case the end of a mile requiring an iron

1920-21 DEPARTMENT OF LAXDS AND FOEESTS. 69

post came in water, the iron post was planted beside the wooden post on the
nearest shore, and was similarly marked. The iron post in every case was a
piece of 1^^ in. iron pipe, 3 feet long, pointed at one end and forged at the other,
and painted red. Wherever possible, two bearing trees were marked with the
letters B.T. and the distance and bearing of each tree recorded in the field notes.
Substantial stone mounds were erected around the posts wherever stones could
be secured.

The base line, as previously stated was run west astronomically on six mile
chords, of a parallel of latitude, and the same system of planting and marking
the posts was followed as in the meridian line, excepting that as the base line
was 40 miles long, and as I was only supplied with 10 iron posts for this line, it
was obviously impossible for an iron post to be planted every three miles. It was
decided to plant an iron post at the end of every six mile chord, and the rest
at three mile intervals, where convenient. Iron posts were therefore planted at the
following miles: 6, 12, 15, 18, 31, 24, 27, 30, 36 and 40.

On account of the length of the line, and the fact that no check was possible,
the line was cut out wide enough to permit of the longest possible sights. The
instrumental work was almost all done by Mr. W. B. Beatty, O.L.S., and he was
most careful and accurate in his work. Only twice was it necessary to make a
correction of more than two minutes in the bearing of either the meridian or
the base line. Transit stations in swampy ground were avoided as much as
possible, but wherever they were absolutely necessary, stakes were driven deep
into the ground for the tripod to rest upon, and a platform built where necessary
for the transitman to stand upon. A Waltham sidereal watch was used, and
observations for both azimuth and watch correction were taken at every oppor-
tunity. These observations were all taken in daylight, and the azimuth calculated
by means of the tables supplied by the Surveyor-General at Ottawa, for such
purposes, A table showing the results of the observations and the corrections
applied is included in the field notes.

The chaining was all done by two experienced chainmen, and every precaution
taken to ensure accuracy. A five chain tape was always available, and all water
stretches under five chains were measured with it, thus avoiding numerous small
triangulations. This long tape was of very great assistance in chaining base lines
for triangulating across the larger lake>, satisfactory base lines being obtained
by this means with much less difliculty than would have been possible with a
shorter tape.

The actual cutting of the line was commenced on May 27th, and completed
on September 23rd.

Attached to the party were Professor Parsons of the Department of Miner-
alogy, Toronto University, and two assistants, representing the Bureau of Mines,
and Mr. Henry Bell, of Peml)roke, with an assistant. These gentlemen were
instructed to report on the geological and on the timber and agricultural pos-
sibilities respectively, of the country adjacent to the line. They performed their
duties in a most faithful and painstaking manner, and as my time was almost
entirely devoted to the carrying on of the operations incidental to the survey, it
was impossible for me to see as much of the country as they did. They will
present their own reports, and will deal with their respective subjects in a detailed
manner, that is impossible for me, for obvious reasons. A few general remarks
on the economic possibilities and physical features of the country, however, may
not be out of place.

W REPOET OF THE Xo. 3

The line runs through an entirely unsettled section of Northern Ontario,
the only inhabitants being a few Indians who trap in the winter, but who do
not appear to travel away from a few main canoe routes during the summer.
Some of the local Indians were employed at times on the survey, and their local
knowledge of canoe routes and of the country generally was found to be of very
great assistance. These Indians were industrious, reliable and above the standard
of intelligence that one would naturally expect.

The agricultural possibilities of the country are practically nil. The land
is for the most part rocky and stony, with considerable areas of swamp consisting
of a layer of muskeg more or less deep, underlain with sand and boulders resting
on the rock beneath. Some fairly prominent ridges of sand and boulders occur,
but not so frequently along the southerly .portion of the meridian line as further
north. The whole region south of Lake St. Joseph has been swept by fire, appar-
ently about the time of the construction of the National Transcontinental Rail-
way, and the Thunder Bay Branch of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway. This
portion of the country is very rough and rocky with numerous lakes of various
sizes occupying the depressions between the ridges. About sixty per cent, of
the territory seen from the line, south of Lake St. Joseph, has been burnt within
ten or twelve years, and the timber destroyed. The economic loss in this respect
has been very great, as a large amount of good spruce and jack pine timber has
been destroyed. These burnt areas are now growing up with the usual second
growth of jack pine, spruce, poplar and white birch characteristic of the country.
In places the country is almost impassable on account of the tangled masses of
fallen timber, and the work of cutting the line through these sections was exceed-
ingly "laborious. The green timber is largely confined to the swamp areas, and in
some cases the spruce is of fair quality, but the average is rather small. The
best timber seen on the line south of Lake St. Joseph is close to the Sturgeon
River, and again north of the large bay extending to the east of Lower Green
Grass Lake, near mile 41 ; there being in both cases a fine growth of large jack-
pine and spruce. A few small groves of red pine were seen, the largest one
being east of the narrows between Green Grass and Lower Green Grass Lakes.

North of Lake St, Joseph the country is not so rough, there being very few
of the rock ridges which are so common farther to the south. The country here
is more gently undulating, with low lying morain like ridges of sand and stones,
with larger areas of muskeg between. Between miles 65 and 68 there is a pro-
minent ridge of sand which has been burnt over, of which large portions are now
absolutely bare. Some parts of this appear to consist of a sandy loam that might
be productive, but the area is small. A prominent ridge occurs at mile 115.
This is one of the highest ridges in the country north of Lake St. Joseph.
Another prominent ridge of sand and gravel occurs- north of mile 26 on the base
line and extends to the line at mile 27. This ridge is surrounded by a muskeg
as far as could be seen, but is fairly lieavily timbered with spruce, birch and
jack pine.

North of Lake St. Joseph there is a much larger area of green timber, than
south of the lake, although the average growth is smaller and scrubbier, par-
ticularly in the more northerly portions of the country. There is one fairly large
burnt area extending from mile 101 to mile 111, and for a considerable distance
on either side of the line. This area has been burnt within a year or two. The
whole country north of Lake St. Joseph, while largely green, has been burnt over
at intervals, and in very few places was timber seen that is over 75 years old.

The second growth which comprises much of the timber is of all ages up to 75
years. These fires appear to have started from along the main canoe routes used
by the Indians, and are probably largely due to the carelessness of travellers in
the use of fire. The timber growth in this section is coming along very nicely,
and although the annual growth is slow, a new forest will undoubtedly grow up
that will be of great value provided the fires can be prevented.

The country south of Lake St. Joseph is intersected by an exceedingly
intricate system of lakes and streams, which afford means of communication by
canoe in any direction. Many of the lakes are of fairly large size, almost invariably
with deeply indented shores, and are dotted with numerous islands. The natural
beauty of many of these lakes, the shores of which have not been rendered desolate
by fires, can hardly be surpassed.

The divide between the waters flowing to the Winnipeg River and to the
Albany River, occurs near the 24th mile on the meridian line, although the exact
location could not be determined with any degree of certainty. South of this
divide the country is drained by the Sturgeon River and its northern tributary,
the Dog River, of which Island Lake is an expansion. North of this divide an
exceedingly intricate system of lakes with short river stretches between flows
towards the Albany River by way of Lake St. Joseph, which it enters about three
miles east of mile 65 on the meridian line.

The greater part of the territory adjacent to the line north of Lake St.
Joseph is drained by tributaries of the Attawapiskat River which finally enters
James Bay about sixty miles north of the Albany River. The divide between
AUiany and Attawapiskat waters occurs quite close to Lake St. Joseph, although
here again it is impossible to designate the exact location with any degree of
certainty. The largest streams crossed north of Lake St. Joseph are the Gitchie
Seebe at mile 111, and the Otoskwin River at mile 113. These streams meet about
three or four miles east of the line, forming the Otoskwin branch of the Attawa-
piskat River. These are both fairly large streams, with sluggish current broken
with occasional rapids, at most of which the fall is low, and which are mostly
caused by boulder bars obstructing the streams, and which make caiioe navigation
rather difficult in places. The eastern portion of the base line is drained by a
tributary of the Otoskwin River, while the western portion is drained towards
the Albany River by way of streams entering Cat Lake.

There are no water powers of any great importance, chiefly owing to the
fact that very few of the rapids or falls are of any great height. A number of
small water powers could be developed, however, as the facilities for water storage
are excellent on account of the many lakes. There are some falls on the Albany
River a few miles east of the outlet of Lake St. Joseph which may be of great
importance in the future, on account of the large drainage area tributary to
Lake St. Joseph, and the splendid opportunity this lake would afford for reservoir
purposes. These powers are from forty to sixty miles east of the line, but it is
thought well to give them passing mention as they will undoubtedly play a most
important part in any economic development that may occur in this part of the
country. Similarly on the Cat River, which enters Lake St. Joseph at the west
end, a number of falls occur. None of these falls are of great height, but water
powers of considerable importance could be developed, as the drainage area is fairly
large and the facilities for water storage cannot be excelled. These water powers
on the Cat River are, of course, much smaller than the ones on the Albany River
east of Lake St. Joseph.

72 EEPOET OF THE No. 3

Lake St. Joseph is, of course, the most important geographical feature of
this section of the country. It is a narrow, straggling sheet of water about sixty
miles long, from Eoot Portage at the western extremity to where the Albany
River flows out at the eastern end. It has an exceedingly intricate shore line in
places with many deep bays extending far back from the main body of the lake.
There are innumerable islands of all sizes, from small bare rocks to some which
are of several miles in length. The lake for the greater part of its extent is
rather narrow, but in some places widens out to a width of from six to eight
miles. The numerous islands make it difficult in many places to get a good idea
of its dimensions, but the average width is probably not much over two miles.
Much of the country around Lake St. Joseph has been burnt over at different
times in the past, and the timber along the shore is largely second growth of
different ages. The timber on many of the islands appears to be older than
that on the main shore, probably due to the fact that the islands escaped the fires.
The shores of Lake St. Joseph are for the greater part low lying, although some
rather prominent hills occur around the western end of the lake. Lake St.
Joseph is called the head of the Albany Eiver, although the Cat Eiver which
enters the north-western extremity of the lake takes its rise probably oue hundred
miles or more to the north-west and by the time it reaches Lake St. Joseph it
is a considerable stream.

The Hudson's Bay Company have a post called Osnaburgh near the eastern
end of Lake St. Joseph, where a considerable trade in furs is carried on with
the Indians. Supplies for Osnaburgh Post are brought in from Hudson Station
on the Canadian Government Eailway, over a very good route by gasoline boat
across Lost Lake down English Eiver and across Lac Seul, thence by canoe up
Eoot Eiver to Eoot Portage at the western end of Lake St. Joseph. This portage
is over the divide between Winnipeg and Albany Eiver waters. From here sup-
plies are taken to Osnaburgh by a small steamboat which is operated on Lake
St. Joseph by the Hudson's Bay Company.

The geological features of the country will be separately reported upon by
Professor Parsons, therefore, they will receive but passing mention in this report.
The prevailing rock formation over the whole territory is Laurentian, typical
rocks being granite and gneiss. Several areas of Keewatin rocks were encountere<l.
and in almost every case there was a local magnetic attraction of the most pro-
nounced character. The first of these occurs in the vicinity of Island Lake about
ten miles north of the Canadian Grovernment Eailway, and extends easterly to
Lake Savant. The most important area of magnetic disturbance in this belt
occurs on Kashaweogama Lake lying to the east of Island Lake. An important
belt of Keewatin rock occurs in the vicinity of Lake St. Joseph, and here again
the magnetic disturbances are of the most pronounced character, and extend for
a long distance east and west of the line. Low grade hematite and magnetite
were seen on some of the islands in the western portion of the lake. Another
belt of Keewatin occurs between the 79th mile and Clearwater Lake, the contact
being in the lake, probably between the 87th and 88th miles. This belt is possibly
an eastern extension of one which crosses Cat Eiver near Slate Lake, and appears
to be of considerable extent.

Still another belt of Keewatin extends for a considerable distance along the
Gitchie Seebe Eiver west of the meridian line, but apparently not extending as
far east as the line. Considerable magnetic disturbance occurs on this belt, and
here again there are indications of iron ore.

1920-21 DEPAliTMENT OF LANDS AXI) FOKESTS. 73

The base line as far as could be seen, lies entirely in a Lanrentian area, the
prevailing rocks being granite and gneiss typical of this region.

A peculiar feature of these Keewatin belts is the fact that the intensity
of the magnetic disturbances is much greater on some of the lakes than on the
shore. This may possibly indicate the existence of more or less extensive bodies
of iron or other magnetic ore, under the waters of the lakes. If I might venture
a suggestion, it would be that where there are indications of iron ore, particularly
east of Island Lake, and on Lake St. Joseph, a more detailed examination be made
with a view of determining definitely the possibilities of developing ore bodies
on a commercial scale.

The climate is similar to that of other sections of Central Canada in the
same latitude. The early part of the summer of 1919 was intensely hot and
dry, and the growth of vegetation was exceedingly rapid. An instance of this
is the fact that ripe blueberries were picked on the 30th day of June, and by the
end of the first week in July they were in great abundance. Potatoes and roots
generally do well where any attempt is made to cultivate them, although the
amount of arable land is very small. A few of the Indians have small potato
patches. One of these was seen on a point on Lake St. Joseph about the 16th
of July, and showed a good healthy growth. This patch had recently been hoed,
and showed every evidence of care and industry. A patch of potatoes at the
Hudson's Bay Company's post at Osnaburgh were in blossom on the 19th of
July, and looked very well. A slight frost occurred on the night of the 7th of
August. On the 24th of September the Hudson's Bay Company's post at Cat Lake
was visited on our way home, and a small patch of potatoes showed hardly any
evidence of frost. The small lakes usually commence to freeze over about the
15th of October, and the larger ones are usually frozen over by the end of that
month.

Moose and red deer are quite common south of Lake St. Joseph, but not so
much farther north. Caribou are frequently seen in this region, becoming more
plentiful as one goes farther north. The ordinary fur-bearing animals are quite
plentiful, although great destruction of animal and bird life has been caused by
res which have overrun the country. Partridge were scarce and hardly a rabbit
was seen all summer. Wild ducks are not as plentiful as one would expect.
Fish are numerous in all the larger lakes and streams, the principal varieties

I being pike, pickerel, and suckers. Some excellent white fish were secured from
Ru Indian on Lake St. Joseph who had a net set in the lake. The Indians appear
jto make use of fish weirs to a considerable extent, and on some of the streams
Ireirs were seen which showed much ingenuity in construction.
The returns to be filed in your Department consist of this report, copies
of the field notes properly certified, a general plan on mounted drawing paper on
Ij^t a scale of two miles to an inch, a timber plan on tracing linen on the same
l^ygcale. and my accounts in triplicate and I trust that these will be found satisfactory.
Much of the information on the plans was obtained from sketches made ny
Professor Parsons and Mr. Bell, and I wish to express my appreciation of the
hearty manner in which these gentlemen co-operated with me in seeing that the
various phases of the work were carried on to a successful conclusion. I also
wi.sh to heartily thank Mr. Jabez Williams, transport officer for the Hudson's
Bay Company at Lac Seul, and Mr. K. Hooker, of Osnaburgh, for courtesy and
assistance rendered the party during the season.

74 EEPOET OF THE No. 3

In conclusion I would venture to predict that the economic development of
this section of the country will largely depend upon the discovery of valuable
minerals in the various areas of Keewatin rocks, and the chances of such dis-
coveries would appear to be not unfavourable.

Survey of a Meridian Line in the Vicinity of the Ground Hog River,
IN the Districts of Sudbury and Timiskaming.

Peterborough, April 15th, 1920.

Sir, — I have the honour to report that agreeable with instructions from
your Department dated April 15th, 1919, I have completed the survey of meridian
lines in the Districts of Sudbury and Timiskaming.

As instructed, I commenced the survey at the north-east angle of the Town-
ship of Muskego and after getting the necessary observations for latitude and
azimuth, I ran due north astronomically eight miles seventy-one chains and
sixty-six links where I intersected the base line surveyed by O.L.S. Niven in
1899 at a point one hundred and thirty-three chains and forty links east of his
fifty-four mile posts. From O.L.S, Niven's fifty-four mile posts I ran north
astronomically eight miles seventy-eight chains and ninety links where I inter-
sected O.L.S. Neeland's first base line at a point one chain and sixty-nine links
west of his nine mile posts. After moving these posts to the intersection of
the meridian and base line I produced my meridian north astronomically nine
miles and sixty-four links where I intersected O.L.S. Neeland's second base line
at a point two chains and seventy links west of his nine mile posts. After
moving these posts to the intersection of the meridian and base line I again
produced my meridian north astronomically eight miles seventy-nine chains and
thirty-one links where I intersected O.L.S. Neeland's third base line at a point
four chains and fifteen links west of his nine mile posts. After moving these
posts to the intersection of the meridian and base line I again produced my
meridian north astronomically twenty-four miles six chains and five links to the
south boundary of the Township of Nansen which I intersected at a point one
hundred and eight chains and thirteen link? east of the south-west angle of said
township.

The meridian line from the north-east angle of the Township of Muskego
to O.L.S. Niven's base line passes over a rough, rocky, broken country totally

1920-21 DEPAETMEXT OF LANDS AXD FOEESTS. 75

unfit for agriculture and which has been overrun many times by fire and is now
destitute of all timber of value. Several lakes were crossed on this line, all of
which contain good clear water but little if any fish. The rock is of the Huronian
formation but as far as I could see, and 1 examined it closely many times, is
destitute of mineral. From O.L.S. Niven's base line to the southerly limit of
the clay belt, a distance of a little over four miles, the line passes over a gently
undulating sandy country which has evidently been repeatedly burnt over and
is now practically destitute of either green or burnt timber of any description.
From this point southerly (limit of the clay belt) to the south boundary of the
Township of Nansen the character of the country is all the same, generally level
or gently undulating and covered with spruce up to fourteen inches, poplar to
twenty inches, white birch to ten inches, dead tamarac, scrub cedar and alder
underbrush — the land is good clay free from stone with clay subsoil and will,
no doubt, some day support a large number of people.

Patches of brule are met with here and there and especially along the
westerly shore of the Ground Hog Eiver. Practically no outcroppings of rock
were encountered in this forty-seven miles. The Piskanogami Elver is crossed
between the first and second mile north of O.L.S. Neeland's first base line; it
is a fine clear stream and has many valuable and easily developed falls, two of
which lie just east of my meridian.

The Ground Hog Eiver — which I did not cross with my meridian but which
is very close to the line at a point twenty-seven miles north of Niven's base line
is also a fine river for many miles but is sadly broken by an eight mile flat rapid
between this point and the Grand Trunk Pacific. This tract of country lying
between the Canadian Northern and Grand Trunk Pacific Eailways is a veritable
paradise for hunters and trappers. Moose are very plentiful and it is not an odd
sight to see four or five in one of the rivers or lakes at the same time. Bear,
beaver, marten and otter were also frequently seen along the rivers.

I also beg to submit with this report a plan showing the topography of the
country passed over, also a timber plan and field notes all of which I trust will
be found complete and satisfactory.

Survey of Part of the Townshii' of Xansex, Distwict of Timiskamino.

Pkterborough, April 15th, 1920.

Sir, — T have the honour to report that agreeable with instructions from your
Department dated April 15th, 1919, I have subdivided the residue of the Town-
ship of Xansen in the District of Timiskaming into regular lots of one hundred

76 REPOET OF THE Xo. 3

and fifty acres each. The residue of the township allotted to me for subdivision
consisted of lots one to twenty-nine inclusive, in concessions one, two, three and
four, the northerly eight concessions having been subdivided by O.L.S, Dempster
in 1912. Agreeable with your Departmental instructions, I commenced the sub-
division at a spruce post marked one and one-half miles on the east boundary
of the township, planted by O.L.S. James Hutcheon in 1910, and after securing
the necessary observation for azimuth at this point, I ran due west astronomically
across the first six lots leaving half a vchain for road allowance immediately west
of the east boundary and one chain for j-oad allowance between lots six and seven.
I then picked up O.L.S. Dempster's side line between lots six and seven at the
front of the fifth concession and produced it due south astronomically to the
south boundary of the township. I then produced the line between concessions
two and three west across lots seven to twelve inclusive. I then picked up O.L.S.
Dempster's side line between lots twelfe and thirteen at the front of the fifth
concession and produced this line south astronomically to the south boundary.
I carried out the same procedure to the westerly limit of the township.

All the regular lots were made twenty-five chains and twenty-five links in
width by fifty-nine chains and fifty links in depth containing one hundred and
fifty acres each. I also cut out and rechained the south boundary giving the
regular lots on the front of the first concession a uniform width of twenty-five
chains and twenty-five links. Substantial posts of the most durable wood procur-
able in the vicinity were planted to define the corners of the lots and inter-
sections of the lines and the iron posts forwarded to me from your Department
were also properly marked and planted at the points indicated on the projected
plan, which points I have also indicated on my plan.

The portion of the township subdivided by me is well watered by numerous
creeks, there is, however, only one lake of any extent which lies on lots five and
six in the first concession.

The first four concessions of this township may be described as a generally
level or gently undulating country timbered with spruce up to twelve inches
in diameter, poplar up to twelve inches in diameter, white birch, balsam and
cedar up to ten inches in diameter interspersed with swamps covered with spruce,
dead tamarac, scrub cedar and alder underbrush, scattered patches of brule of
small extent and covered with small poplar, white birch and Avillow. The soil
on the uplands is, generally speaking, a good clay loam rich in humus and
practically free of stone, with clay subsoil. In the lowlands and swamps the soil
is black muck with clay subsoil. Only a few small outcroppings of rock occur
in this part of the township. I consider fully fifty per cent, of the first four
concessions suitable for mixed farming and am of the opinion that with a proper
system of drainage, fully fifty per cent, of the remainder can be made so.

I also beg to submit with this report a plan showing the acreage and topo-
graphy, also timber plan and field notes all of which T hope will be found complete
and satisfactory.

SuitVKY OF PaIJT of THE BOUNDARY LiXE BETWEEN THE DlSTlHCTS OF RaINY

River and Kenora,

Fort Frances, February 16th, 1920.

Sir, — Instructions to survey part of the boundary line between the Districts
of Rainy River and Kenora, and three meridian lines running south therefrom,
were received early in June, but the survey was not commenced until August l:th,
as, on account of the general strike, it was impossible to procure any tents in
Winnipeg,

I left Fort Frances on August 4th, and proceeded via the Cascades and
Manitou Lake to Smooth Rock Lake, where my first camp was established. Having
found traces of the 6th meridian near Bear Lake, 1 re-ran the line through
dense second growth, on 1894 brule, and found the iron post marking the 24th
mile. From this post I started the boundary line, my course being determined
from the meridian line, and made preparations to observe Polaris at night. I
was unable to see the star as a heavy rain storm came on in the afternoon and
lasted all night. I therefore ran the line on to Smooth Rock Lake and there
observed Polaris at Eastern Elongation, finding the line .02' N. Correcting for
this I continued west, to the 6th mile, where I deflected north six minutes,
checking the instrumental deflection by the use of a deflection offset of 1.378
inches at a distance of one chain. Thereafter, this deflection was used at each
six miles. Wooden posts were planted at each mile and iron posts at every
three miles as instructed.

I continued the line to the 12th mile, whence I ran south twelve miles on
the 1st meridian, and on the completion of this line 1 continued west on the
base line to the 24th mile, marking the posts as instructed from 1 to 12 in each
section of the base. I then ran south again twelve miles on the 2nd meridian, and
in a similar manner I ran west to the 36th mile and thence south on the 3rd
meridian as far as Kishkutena or Height of Land Lake.

Winter set in very early, there was a heavy fall of snow on October 10th,
and thereafter the weather was very bad, snow, rain or sleet nearly every day, so
that the ground and the trees were entirely covered with snow. I continued the
base line west until October 25th, working whenever the weather permitted ; on
the 24th, over six inches of snow fell and froze in the creeks, so that on the 25th,
we were unable to break through to Crooked Pine Lake.

As I had been unable to find any trace of the 7th meridian, with which I
had to intersect, and as I had not been supplied with field notes showing tbd
postion of the 7th mile post thereon, I decided to postpone finishing this part
of the line until after the freeze up, and started back for Height of Land Lake
to finish the 3rd meridian. On the 27th and 28th I continued south but on the
28th I was compelled to postpone the work as the lakes were all covered with
about six inches of snow ice, which, while practically unbreakable from a canoe
would not carry a man's weight. I made a cache of my supplies and outfit and
started for lionie, having to go by way of Off Lake to Barwick.

On December 2nd, I again started out and drove to Sabaskong Bay, where T
completed the base line, returning to Clearwater Lake, I then completed the 3rd
meridian, reaching Fort Frances on the 13th December.

78 EEPOKT OF THE No. 3

Plan.

The plan of this work has been extended beyond the actual limits of the
survey in order to show connections with the base and meridian lines previously
run. The outlines of all lakes and streams have been shown with the connecting
creeks and portages, and the outlines of all timber berths and mining locations
of which I have record have been plotted.

Connection.

I have been unable to reach any definite conclusion as to where this base line
should intersect the 7th, meridian.

Using Niven's chainages the lengths of the east and west boundaries are :- —

East Boundary. West Boundary.

24 miles on 6th meridian East Boundary, Kingsf ord 6m.5c.59

i.e. base line lc.57 too far north 25m.39c.50

But Niven's 1st base having a latitude of 48° 45' 30" would be at a distance
of 16m.55.83 south from the 49th, which would put the 34th mile post at a
distance of 7m.34c.l7 north of the 49th. The latitudes given on O.L.S. Niven's
plans do not appear to be quite correct. Latitude of Carpenter base is given
as 48° 44' 10", by distance south of 49th, this should be 48° 44' 08.4".

Latitude of first base is given as 48° 45' 30" by distance lm.37c.93 north
of Carpenter base this should be 48° 45' 25.3".

Latitude of 3nd base at 34th mile is 48° 50' 43", this gives a latitude for
the 1st base, six miles south, of 48° 45' 39".

Latitude of my base is 49° 06' 16.7" from which a line 34 miles south would
have a latitude of 48° 45' 36.3".

If the latitudes given for the Carpenter base and the 1st base are taken
the distance on the connection line would be lm.43c.63 in place of lm.37c.93
as given by Mr. Niven. All of this seems to show that the latitude of Niven's
1st base at the 90th mile would agree very closely with that of a line 34 miles
south of my base.

There is an excess in my chainage between the 6th and 7th meridians.
Using Niven's chainages and following his base and meridian lines the distances
are : —

In explanation of part of this excess I would point out that on working
out the departures of the courses and distances given on the right of way plan
of the Canadian Northern Eailway there are surpluses found on two sections, viz, : —

excess, in the lines included in this plan these surpluses show: —

Soil.

None of the land in the vicinity of these, lines is of any value for agricultural
purposes. The whole of the country is formed of rocky ridges with swamps,
lakes and streams in the valleys between.

Timber.

The accompanying timber plan shows that practically the whole of the area
included has been burnt over. The probable dates of these fires has been deter-
mined from the apparent age of the second growth timber, and has been indicated
on the plan. This second growth is nearly all jack pine, with poplar, birch
and spruce, only in a few places is there any second growth of red or white pine,
these places are also indicated on the plan. When these fires passed over the
country most of the large pine escaped destruction; all of this has since been
cut, with the exception of scattering trees far from water, so that there is now
no merchantable timber left except between my 3rd meridian and the 7th meridian,
where the spruce and cedar swamps escaped the fires, and which are yet of value
for pulpwood and cedar poles and posts. The tamarac in all these swamps has been
killed by the Larch Fly.

Minerals.

No work has been done for many years on any of the locations which
are shown on the plan, nor is it possible to give any estimate of their value.
That many of the veins carry gold and other minerals in what should be paying
quantities is undoubted, but so far mining has not been successful. It is certain,
however, that in the future there will be renewed activity in mining in this
district. The only evidence of any activity in the vicinity of the lines is between
Furlonge and Stonedam Lakes, where several mining claims have been staked
out and assessment work done on deposits of copper and iron pyrites. North
of the base line, on Schist Lake, there is a good showing of iron ore on which
some test pits have been sunk. Transportation difficulties, however, render these
claims of little value at the present time.

Rock samples were taken at various points as indicated in the field notes.

Traverse of Missinaibi Lake and River and Tributary Waters, Districts

OF Algoma and Sudbury.

Sault Ste. Marie, February 16th, 1920.

Sir, — Under instructions from you dated 8th May, 1919, to make survey
of Dog, Crooked and Missinaibi Lakes, I commenced organizing for this survey
on the 21st May. I left Sault Ste. Marie with complete outfit and four men for
Missinaibi Station where I started survey of Dog Lake on 22nd May.

This survey has been carried out in strict accordance with instructions.
From chained base lines a complete triangulation survey was carried out. Astrono-
mic bearings were carried throughout and observations taken at intervals of not
more than fifteen miles. Instrument and stadia rod were checked from time
to time and continued in good adjustment. Stadia rod was used with two targets
and readings taken by competent rod man and recorded carefully, and work
checked and plotted every evening. Outlines of shores and islands were obtained
by stadia readings from triangulation points on short traverses therefrom.

At intervals of about a mile apart along the shores of the lakes at con-
spicuous points, a tree was blazed and numbered, and where trees were not avail-
able, a post was planted — marked and well mounded with rock.

Dog Lake Report.

On the westerly shore of Dog Lake the south boundary of Township Forty-
seven, Range Twenty-seven was found, opened up and re-blazed and a new post
planted and mounded with rock together with the old post. From the south-
east angle of Township Forty-six, Range Twenty-seven, the line between Town-
ships Forty-five and Forty-six was opened up and re-blazed westerly approxi-
mately two miles to the main line of the Canadian Pacific Railway. At the
various points where the line intersected the shores of Dog Lake, posts were
planted and mounded with rock, A bench mark painted on solid rock was estab-
lished near lake shore at Missinaibi Station ; to Canadian Pacific Railway datum.

The area of Dog Lake is about twenty-two and five-tenth square miles and
has approximately one hundred and fifty miles of shore line and seventy islands.

For storage purposes the highest level that could be maintained is in my
opinion dictated by the elevation of the Height of Land at the east end which
is only about seven feet above water level shown on plan.

The Canadian Pacific Eailway tracks are in general at about a constant eleva-
tion of twenty to twenty-five feet above lake level as observed during survey.

The outlet is narrow and downstream the river falls rapidly between solid
rock banks and would give good opportunity for controlling dams. The capacity
for storage is in general terms one hundred and sixty square mile feet.

The shores slope up so that water area at plane seven feet above stage at
time of survey will show little increase in area. There are very few marshes
or low spots.

Tributary creeks are few in number and with the exception of McMurtry
Lake, the bodies of water tributary are all shown on plan. McMiirtry Lake is
said to be about six miles and might average a mile wide. It is connected to
Dog Lake by a small river about twenty chains long with very little fall and
it should be a good additional storage. The Loch Lomond liiver would not be
flooded as there is a considerable fall near its entrance to Dog Lake.

A very small amount of timber would .be affected by- flooding. Almost the
whole of Dog Lake territory has been visited by fire on three different occasions,
namely: About the year 1890 the district was almost completely burned over,
followed again by fires in the years 1905 and in 1915 the country around the
easterly end of the lake was again swept by fire. Areas of mature timber still
exist such as pulpwood and tie timber. The second growth timber from fire-
swept country is principally poplar to six inches in diameter.

As a summer resort this lake has attractive possibilities being very easily
reached by the Canadian Pacific Eailway at Missinaibi Station. There are many
first class cariiping places with excellent sand beaches and the second growth
timber is of sufficient size; to give an attractive appearance.

The waters of the lake abound with fish of various species such'as pike,
pickerel, trout, white fish and herring.

As a country for moose hunting this district has few superiors, bear also
being plentiful.

Crooked Lake Eeport.

Crooked Lake in the District of Sudbury has an area of about one and eighty-
three one-hundredths square miles and approximately thirty miles of shore line
and twenty-three islands. The islands principally are contained within the middle
third of the length of the lake. The shores generally rise with a gentle slopo
from the waters edge and in no place are precipitous. Lake bed and shores are
in general sand and boulders and with occasional rock outcrop. Both ends of
lake are very shallow with mud bottom so much so that paddling is difficult on
account of limited depth of water. Lake throughout appears to have comparatively
small depth. The shores are practically free from marshes so that a moderate
amount of increase in stage of water would not greatly increase area. Height
of Land is about seven feet above observed stage of Crooked Lake.

The timber as noted on plan consists mostly of second growth composed
of jack pine, spruce, balsam, birch, poplar and cedar interspersed with patches
of brule. i . .r

•• Fish are fairly plentiful. Game comprises moose and bear principally, the
latter especially being attracted by the plentiful supply of bluebierries.

83 EEPOET OF THE No. 3

MissiNAiBi Lake Eepokt.

On account of continued bad weather and approach of winter the traverse
of this lake was not completed. About fifteen miles at the north-east end of the
lake is yet unsurveyed.

The portion surveyed to date comprises a long and comparatively straight
stretch of lake about twenty miles in length and averaging from one-quarter to
three-quarter miles in width with a connecting course at mid-length northward
from Fairy Point about one and one-half miles, and north-east from this about
parallel to the remainder of the lake there is an arm about nine miles long and
varying in width from one-quarter to three-quarter miles.

In general, the lake has a great depth and in no places were any shallow
areas encountered. Navigation on any part of the lake would be possible for
large tugs.

The shores of the lake are • rocky and in many places precipitous. There
are a few limited areas of marsh along the shores of the lake but flooding would
not materially increase area.

Crooked Lake is a tributary to this lake entering it at the west end of the
north-east arm above noted about three miles in an airline from Fairy Point.
At the entrance to Missinaibi Lake there is a fall of fifteen feet high and up-
stream from this about three and one-half chains is a fall about fifteen feet high
which is one and one-half chains from the outlet of Crooked Lake.

The lake has long been used by traders as a link to James Bay. It is very
probable that this lake would make an excellent storage, for power development
on Missinaibi Eiver but the outlet I have not yet examined.

Timber such as red and white pine are scarce, only a small amount of this
•species scattered throughout the lake district. Spruce and balsam interspersed
with birch, poplar and cedar will be found in large quantities together with jack
pine suitable for tie timber.

Survey of Certain Township Outlines in the District of Algoma.

Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., December 10th, 1919.

Sir, — We have the honour to submit the following report on the survey of
certain township outlines in the District of Algoma, made under instructions
from the Minister of Lands and Forests, dated at Toronto, May 1st, 1919.

The survey party, under our Mr. Eoss, left Sault Ste. Marie on June 5th,
:and proceeded to the "west boundary of the Township of Wicksteed by way of the

1920-21 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FOEESTS. 83

Algoma Central and Canadian National Railways. Actual work was commenced
on June ?th, and completed on August 31st. The party arrived back in Sault
Ste. Marie on August 24th.

During the whole course of the work we only lost half a day on account of
rain, but this dry weather was the cause of many forest fires. We were chased
on to an island in a lake at the south-east corner of the Township of Lessard
and held there for three days. It was then necessary to cut our way througli
burning country to avoid starving. We also had great difficulty with labour
throughout the whole course of the work.

We first ran our 2nd base line west astronomically about ten miles, from
the north-west corner of the Township of Wicksteed. We then ran north astrono-
mically nine miles from the north-west corner of the Township of Wicksteed.
From the nine mile post on this line we ran about ten miles west astronomically
on our 3rd base line. From this point we backed up to the south-west corner
of the Township of Wicksteed by way of Nagagami Lake. Obakagami River and the
Canadian National Railway. From there we ran our 1st base line w^est astrono-
mically twenty miles thirty-five chains and ten links, to O.L.S. Niven's boundary
line. From the nine mile post on this line we ran north astronomically twenty-
seven miles two chains and thirty-four links. The intersection with the 2nd
base line pointed to a mistake in chainage and this was discovered on the 1st base
line. A tally stake at eight miles seventy-seven chains was mistaken for the
nine mile stake and the meridian was run from this point. Posts to the west
on the 1st base line were not affected. An error of one chain in measuring
the base lines of each of two triangles was made between the 9th and 18th mile
of the meridian. This was corrected throughout and all posts moved to true
positions and the notes corrected. When we intersected the 2nd base line with
our meridian, this base line was produced west astronomically to the Algoma-
Thunder Bay boundary, making it a total length of twenty miles thirty-one
chains and eighteen links. The last line to be run was the production of the
3rd base line west astronomically to the boundary line. This line has a total
length of twenty miles twenty-seven chains and eight links.

We came out to the railway along the boundary line and took the train to
Sault Ste. Marie from the station at Lux. My second chainman informed me
on our return that the distance on the north boundary of the Township of Foch
between the north-east corner and the 1st mile post is seventy-nine chains and
eighty-five links and between the first and second mile posts, eighty chains and
fifteen links. The explanation is as follows. We had to swear in a new chainman
for that day, and he, in spite of instructions, held at the end of the steel in
place of the end of the brass handle. This error was corrected by the chainman
in the next mile which is planted two miles from the corner but he did not
correct the position of the first mile post and did not report the error.

General.

The territory covered might be divided into two parts by an imaginary line
drawn about three miles south of the Canadian National Railway, and parallel
to it. To the south of this line it is very rough and rocky, to the north it is a
rolling, sandy, clay country.

Soil.

The soil in the Townships of Flanders, Nagagami, Frances and Hiawatha
is for the most part a sandy clay loam covered with black muck. There are

.84 EEPOKT OF THE No. 3

scattered areas of very gravelly clay of glacial origin. The valleys and low lying
land in the Township of Lessard and Foch are arable but the total area of useful
country from an agricultural point of view is very small. These townships are
rock in the main.

TiMBEK.

The Township of Lessard and the easterly nine miles of the Township of
Foch are heavily timbered with large spruce, poplar and birch. Fire swept the
southerly two miles of these townships during the summer of 1919. The westerly
two miles of the Township of Foch has been swept clean by fire some twenty years
ago and is still barren. The Townships of Nagagami, Flanders, Hiawatha and
Frances are wooded with spruce from 3 in. to 8 in. in diameter, together with a
certain amount of banksian pine near the Canadian National Eailway. There is ;;
very large burnt area in the neighbourhood of the line between the Townships of
Nagagami and Flanders, Frances and Hiawatha.

MiNEEALS.

The rock formation is entirely Laurentian as it came under our observation,
being granite and gneiss. We saw no indications of minerals.

Watee Powers.

There is one fall on the Obakagami Eiver about three miles south of the
lake of that name, which would develop about 1,000 horse-power if full use were
made of the storage capacity of Obakagami Lake. A thirty foot dam could be
cheaply constructed between rock walls to have a crest of about one hundred
feet. Aside from this, the repaids on the Obakagami and Nagagami Eivers are of
no consequence from a power development point of view.

Fish and Game.

Practically all the rivers and streams in this area abound in speckled trout.
There are as well, pickerel, pike, maskinonge, whitefish and suckers. We are
unable to make a complete report as to fish as it would be necessary to use a net
to get the information.

There are great numbers of moose and a few deer. There did not appear
to be any rabbits and there were very few partridge.

We are sending under separate cover, field notes, plans and accounts in
connection with our work.

We have the honour to be, Sir,

i Your obedient servants,

To Re-establish Part of the Boundary of the Algonquin Provincial Park,

District of Nipissing.

Pembroke, January 31st, 1920.

Sir, — Acting under your instructions of August 6th, 1919, I proceeded to
Sligo, a camp on the Bonnechere River where it crosses the south boundary of
the Township of Guthrie. I commenced work with a party of eight men on
August 16th, 1919, and continued without interruption until December 12th, 1919.

During this time I retraced the south boundary of Guthrie from the north-
west angle of Burns to the Township of Master; the south boundary of Master;
the east boundaries of Master, Stratton and Bronson; the north boundary of
Bronson; the east boundary of Edgar, across concessions eleven to sixteen inclusive;
and the north boundary of the Township of Edgar; a total distance of sixty-six
and a quarter miles.

All old posts found were renewed as instructed and iron bars placed at all
township corners, excepting the south-west and north-west angles of McKay and
the north-west corner of Edgar. The lines were well re-blazed and where timber
was scarce posts were planted along the centre line of road allowances about ten
chains apart and marked P.L. on the side facing the Algonquin Park, so as to
facilitate following the line, especially in burnt parts.

I am enclosing in a parcel to your address, notes, plans and diary, with
pay sheets, accounts, receipts and statements in triplicate, as required by your
instructions.

Survey of Certain Township Outlines on the Kapuskasing River,

District of Algoma.

Ottawa, January 5th, 1920.

Sir, — In accordance with your instructions of May 1st, 1919, re the survey
of certain township outlines along the Kapuskasing River in the District of
Algoma, I have the honour to submit the following report.

T left Ottawa on the evening of June 10th, and after stop])ing in North Bay
during the day of June 11th, arrived at Agate on the afternoon of June 12th.

The station here is within 150 feet of Kapuskasing Lake and we made our
first camp on its shores. T had my provisions shipped by freight and my assist-

86 EEPOET OF THE No. 3

ant, who had gone on ahead, had everything in readiness, including our iron
posts, and on the morning of June 13th we loaded our outfit into five canoes
and started down the Kapuskasing Eiver.

The river at this time of the year was reasonably high and made canoeing
much more pleasant, as we were enabled to " run " several rapids that in lower
water would require portaging. The longest portage we had was- about one mile
in length and was the second last one before we came to our work. On the stretch
of river extending through our work there were no portages or rapids, our last,
one going in being at the south boundary of Allenby Township. We left part
of our provisions on the south boundary of Allenby and took the remainder down
to the old G. T. Eailway cache near the north-west corner of Allen])y Township and
made camp right at this corner of this township.

On the morning of June 23rd, we started on the meridian between Oscar
and Concobar Townships, after having observed on the line the previous evening.
This line was for the most part heavily wooded and undulating, having good
clay soil on the higher places, with a subsoil of clay in the wet and marshy
places. On the morning of June 27th, we had quite a snowflurry and the same
evening it froze quite hard, sufficient to form ice about one-quarter inch thick
on our water pails. Owing to the fact that. two of my men disappointed me and
one of my chainmen being unable to come in until July 1st, I was obliged to-
send out for more men and my assistant went out to Kapuskasing Station return-
ing with four men. We made a main camp at the north-west corner of Concobar
Township, and from here worked out two and a half miles east to the Kapuskasing"
Eiver, the land being generally high and undulating and for the most part
heavily wooded with large timber. Then we ran west on the line between Oscar
and Bourinot Townships. While this land was undulating there was more low
land as we got farther away from the river. In the fifth and sixth miles of this-
line, we encountered some good cedar up to fifteen and eighteen inches in diameter.
The last quarter of a mile was through very open, small second growth poplar on a
sandy loam. No bearing trees were marked here, as there was nothing large-
enough to be of use ^for this purpose. No trace was found of the westerly
boundary of the township having been run yet, so we produced our lines six
chains beyond the nine mile post, and returned to the easterly boundary of the-
township.

We then ran north on the meridian between Bourinot and Shanly Townships.
The first couple of miles of this line was mostly through heavy timber with
thick underbrush. From the second to the fifth mile was good pulpwood, mostly
poplar, and the best we encountered anywhere on the line, while from the fifth
to the ninth miles the land was higher and had been burnt over at some previous
period. There is considerable second growth and windfall in this area. The
nine mile post was planted on a rocky ridge, or outcrop of Keewatin. O.L.S.
Code's line had not been run yet, so we proceeded on our line six chains past
the nine mile post. On this line we encountered two lakes, as shown on the plan,,
and one day we canoed up to work following the stream from our camp near the-
four mile post, to our line on the north shore of the lake. We also utilized this
stream for moving camp out to the Kapuskasing, and down to the south boundary
of Allenby.

From here we packed east taking the provisions from our cache to the south-
east corner of Allenby Township, and proceeded to run the meridian between
Allenby and Seaton Townships. When we arrived at this corner we found that

1920-21 DEPAETMENT OF LANDS AND FOEESTS. 87

Sutcliffe and Neelands had run their line out to this point a few days previous.
We ran the line to the north-east corner of Concobar Township and then we
turned to our nine mile post, and ran west to the Kapuskasing Eiver, and the
westerly boundary of the Township of Concobar.

On these latter lines the country for the most part was low and wet with
open tamarac swamp or a thick growth of spruce, tamarac and balsam. Towards
the north-easterly corner of Concobar Township, we encountered low ridges or
knolls of clay or sandy clay loam, with some heavy timber thereon.

We reached the Kapuskasing and on August 4th, I left my assistant tO'
run west on the Maude, Oscar Chord, while I went out to Kapuskasing to arrange
for the disbanding of the party at the completion of the work.

I took one of my chainmen out with me as he had a poisoned hand and
needed medical attention. This coupled with the fact that a couple of weeks
previous I had to send out one of my Indians, necessitated my bringing in more
men. So I returned with two men and a boy along with some provisions, to
complete the work.

On reaching the nine mile post on the Maude, Oscar Chord, we were unable-
to locate Speight's line, run in 1909. We spread out and though we made a.
thorough search, we were unable to locate it, possibly because there was a heavy
undergrowth of alder, and as the west boundary of Oscar Township had not been
run yet. So we produced our line seven chains past the nine mile post, and
returned to camp.

We then continued to run east on the chord, between Shanly and Concobar.
When about four and one-half miles of this line had been completed one of our
Indians, who had previously been troubled with appendicitis, was threatened with
a recurrence and had to go out. Two others who for some time past had been
anxious to go bear hunting, decided to leave and could not be persuaded to stay.
This left me short of men and as I had only enough provisions to finish the
job working with a complete party, I decided to run only as far as the south-
east corner of Shanly Township, and then return. This we did, and continuing
on down the Kapuskasing Eiver arrived at the station of the same name, on
the Canadian Government Eailway, on Avigust the 18th.

The river was quite shallow in a great many places coming out, and it was-
with difficulty we were enabled to get through. At Kapuskasing I paid off my
men and arrived in Ottawa, on August the 20th.

The country through which we worked was for the most part comparatively
low, the land and timber on the west side of the river being much superior to
that on the east. On the latter side, it was practically level throughout, being^
covered with open tamarac; in places, while in others a thick growth of tamarac,
spruce and balsam, interspersed with thick alder undergrowth.

However, on the easterly boundary of Concobar, we , encountered some larger
timber, e.g., balm of gilead, birch, and spruce, etc., as the ground here appeared
to rise slightly, being very gently undulating.

On this side of the river, the soil was clay, or moss, with a clay subsoil, with
a few sandy knolls.

On the west side of the river, the country for the most part is undulating
and is quite heavily timbered. The timber on the higher lands is quite large,
from six to eighteen inches in diameter, or even larger in some cases, and is of a
good quality, birch, spruce, balsam, poplar, balm of gilead and cedar, while the
valleys are tamarac, spruce and balsam, or alders.

88 KEPOET OF THE ' No. 3

When running west on the chord between Oscar and Bourinot Townships,
we encountered some really good cedar, which has every indication of extending
for a considerable distance north and south of the line.

The burnt area encountered apparently embraces the north-westerly corner
of Bourinot Township as shown on the accompanying timber plan. The land
apparently rises towards the end of the township and the nine mile post on the
Bourinot. Shanly meridian is on an outcrop of Keewatin.

We encountered no economic minerals whatever, there being only a few scat-
tered boulders or low rocky ridges on the Oscar, Bourinot Chord, the Bourinot,
Shanly meridian and the Oscar-Maude Chord.

The land on the west side of the river is generally speaking good clay soil
on the higher elevations, with a clay subsoil in the lower and wet places.

The game in this part of the country is plentiful, there being abundance of
moose, bear, beaver and ducks.

At certain places no iron posts were planted as shown in the field notes
iittached hereto, as I had none at my disposal, having used the number sent
me for this work.

Astronomic observations were taken whenever weather conditions would per-
mit, the work throughout being carried on under my personal supervision and the
foregoing report is respectfully submitted.

To Subdivide the Township of Foavler, District of Thunder Bay,

Port Arthur, January 12th, 1920.

Sir, — We beg to report that in accordance with instructions issued from
your Department dated April 15th, 1919, we have completed the survey of the
Township of Fowler, in the District of Thunder Bay.

This township is bounded on the south by the Township of Ware, on the
east by the Township of Jacques, on the west by the Township of Forbes and
the Grand Trunk Pacific Block No. 1, and on the north by Dog Lake and the
un surveyed lands of the Crown.

The south-east corner of this township is about twenty-one miles north-west
from the City of Port Arthur. The road from Port Arthur is well graded and
gravelled to within a mile of the south-east corner of the Township.

1920-21 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS. 89

The survey was commenced at the south-west angle of the Township of
Jacques. From this point a mile was measured on the west boundary of Jacques
and from here the line between concessions one and two was run west astronomic-
ally to the west boundary of the township. On this line posts were planted
at intervals of 40.00 chains to mark the corners of lots fronting thereon. From
the end of each mile on this concession line the sidelines between lots two and
three, four and five, gnd so on were run south astronomically to intersect the
northerly boundary of/ the Township of Ware and also north astronomically to
the north boundary of the township. On the side line between lots two and
three, the widths of concessions two, three, four and five were laid off, each
being made 80.00 chains and from these points the concession lines were run
east to intersect the westerly boundary of the Township of Jacques. The lines
between concessions two and three and concessions three and four were then
run west astronomically to the west boundary of the township and the lines
between concessions four and five and between ' concessions five and six were run
west astronomically to intersect the high water line of Dog Lake. The north
boundary of the township was run west astronomically from the north-west
angle of the Township of Jacques to Dog Lake. As the line between concessions
one and two which was used as a base to lay off the widths of the various lots
does not run across the full twelve miles, the line in front of concession four
was used as a base to lay off the widths of lot's nineteen, twenty, twenty-one
and twenty-two, each of which was given 40.00 chains. The width of lot twenty-
three was established by taking the distance below the westerly limit of lot
twenty-two, as established above, and a line run by O.L.S. Fawcett, in 1907,
as a trial line for the east boundary of Grand Trunk Pacific Block N'o. 1, the
distance being 43.95 chains. The width of this lot in concession five and six
was also made this distance. From the lot corners established, the side lines
between lots twenty and twenty-one and between lots twenty-two and twenty-
three were run ^uth astronomically to the south boundary of the township
and north astronomically to the north boundary of- the township. On the line
between lots twenty and twenty-one the depth of concession four was made 79.76
chains and from here the line in front of concession five was run west astronomic-
ally to the west boundary of the township. On the line between lots twenty-two and
twenty-three the depths of concessions five and six were made 79.80 chains and
79.50 chains respectively and from the points so estal)li^^hed lines were run west
astronomically to thq west boundary of the township and the north boundary
was run east astronomically to Dog Lake. It was noted that in running the
north boundary east to the lake, that the line produced coincided exactly with
that portion of the north l)oundary of the township east of Dog Lake.

On several concession lines the widths of the odd numbered lots, with the
exception of lot twenty-three, were made 40.00 chains. The width of lot twenty-
three was established as explained above, the width being 43.95 chains. The
widths of the even num])ered lots were established l)y the intersection of the
side lines with the concession boundaries. The south boundary of the townsliip
was re-chained and lot corners were established thereon.

Substantial wooden posts <oi size and timber specified were planted to mark
the angles of the lots. Bearing trees were marked and their position noted where
timber was available. As in many places all the timber had been burned off
many posts have no bearing trees. In most of these cases the posts were well
mounded with stones. Iron posts were marked and planted at the points indicated
on the projected plan accompanying your instructions.

DO EEPOET OF THE No. 3

In the case of the posts at the following corners : Lots nineteen and twenty,
■concession two, lots five and six, concession three, lots seven and eight, concession
four, lots five and six, concession five, and lots twenty-one and twenty-two, con-
cession six, as these corners fell in bodies of water, posts were planted on the north
shore of the bodies of water, in which they fell at points bearing north astronomic-
ally from their proper positions on the concession lines and the distances were
measured from the concession lines and noted in the field notes. A post was
planted on the easterly shore of One Island Lake to indicate the position of the
line between lots five and six, concession two, as this line is almost entirely in
the lake. Lot fifteen, concession four, on the north side of Hawk Bay is made
to include the portion of what would be lot sixteen to the west of it. The
■easterly boundary of lot twenty-two, concession three, was made the Dog Eiver,

A road allowance one chain in width was laid off around Dog Lake and Little
Dog Lake and along both sides of the Dog Eiver. Posts to mark the corners of
lots fronting on the lakes or in cases where an intersection was in the lake, were
planted at the perpendicular distance of one chain from the high water line.
On Dog Lake witness posts were planted in front of these and the surrounding
trees, where there were any, were well blazed.

The lines were well opened up and blazed. Observations were taken fre-
-quently and will be found recorded in the field notes. The magnetic variation
remained fairly constant at two degrees east but in places this was found to
■vary to a considerable extent.

A stadia traverse was made of all bodies of water in the township and field
notes prepared of same on the scale of ten chains to an inch. On Dog Lake
the position of the original shore line is shown as nearly as it is possible to do
without taking soundings. This is shown as a dotted line in the field notes.

TiMBEK.

A timber plan of the .township accompanies this report. Over half of the
timber has been destroyed by forest fires at different times. That portion of
. the township east of One Island Lake is now grown up with jack pine, poplar
and birch about twenty-five to thirty years old. In cases where fire has passed over
in recent years the only timber of value now left is the spruce in the swamps.
Of the timber not destroyed by fires nearly all of value has been cut. In the
last year there have been four lumber camps operating within the township and
I)y the ooming spring only small patches of good timber will be left. Eires
occurred in two places during the progress of the survey. One of these was
west of One Island Lake and the other was south and west of Dog Lake in con-
cessions three and four. Neither of these fires was started by any members of
our party. Another fire has passed over a small area along the Dog Eiver in
lots twenty-three and twenty-four in concessions five and six, since the lines
were run. None of these did any material damage.

Soil.

The southerly three concessions of the township are fairly good agricultural
lands, there being between fifty per cent, and sixty per cent, good soil. This
ranges from clay loam in the central portions to sandy loam on the easterly
and westerly ends of the concessions. In the burned over area south of Dog
Lake in concessions three and four, nearly all the timber is gone and this land

1920-21 DEPARTMENT OP LANDS AND FORESTS. 91

could be cleared and made ready for crops in a very short time. It would make
excellent grazing and hay lands. The northerly three concessions are very rough
and broken and the soil is very stony and rocky, there being scarcely twenty per
cent, of the land suitable for farming in these concessions. We do not think that
it would be advisable to open these concessions for settlement at this time, though
consider that the southerly three should l)e opened up.

Minerals.

There are numerous outcroppings of rock in the township, especially in the
northern part of the east half, but no minerals of any value were noticed. The
south-easterly part of the township has at one time been very thoroughly investi-
gated for iron though none was found. There is a considerable overburden in
most places.

Topography.

The hills surrounding Hawk Lake and Dog Lake are from one hundred to
two hundred feet in height with tops inland from ten chains to twenty chains.
'The northerly three concessions east of Dog Lake are rough and broken by hills
from fifty to a hundred feet in height. The southerly three concessions are fairly
level through lots one to fourteen. West of lot fourteen to Little Dog Lake and
tlie Dog River in concessions one and two is very rough. A fairly level plateau
is found in lots fifteen to twenty in concession three and this also extends into
lots twenty and twenty-one in concession four.

Lakes and Rivers.

Several small lakes, not previously mapped, were found. The largest bodies
of water in the township are Dog Lake, Hawk Lake and One Island Lake. The
water in these is clear while that in some of the smaller lakes is of a dark colour.
On Dog Lake the natural beauty of the lake has been destroyed by flooding.
One Island Lake and the lakes to the east of it would make very desirable lakes
for summer camping. The easterly part of the township nearly all drains directly
or indirectly into Hawk Bay of Dog Lake. The source of Strawberry Creek is in
the large swamp in lots nine, ten and eleven in concessions one and two. This
flows south through the Township of Ware into the Kaministikwia River.
Concessions one, two and three in lots thirteen to twenty are drained by three
creeks into Little Dog Lake and the Dog River, In the returns of the survey
of the Township of Jacques made by us One Island Lake as shown therein was
improperly named. Since that time we have found that the lake generally known
as " One Island '' 'is that shown on the plan of Fowler Township. Storage dams
liave been built at the outlets of Hawk Lake, One Island Lake, and the small
lake in lot ten, concession six. These are used to supply water to drive the
creeks flowing out of them. The head in each case is about three feet.

Dog River is not navigable above Little Dog Lake. From here there is a
portage and tote road to Dog Lake, a distance of about a mile and three-quarters.
The outlet of Hawk Lake can be run with a canoe in high water and the inlet
of Spike Lake is always navigable for canoes. The outlet of the small lake in
lot ten, concession six is now being improved for driving purposes.

92 EEPOET OF THE No. 3

Islands^

. Fifty-seven islands were found within tlie township. Tliese were lettered and
numbered from J.K. 20 to J.K. 76. J.K. 20 is in Little Dog Lake, J.K. 21 to
51 are in Dog Eiver. J.K. 52 and 53 and J.K. 55 to 71 are in Dog Lake.
J.K. 54 is in Florence Lake^ J.K. 72 is in Bolduc Lake, J.K. 73 is in Kawene
Lake. J.K. 74 is in Freed Lake. J.K. 75 is in Spike Lake and J.K. 76 is in
One Island Lake. The areas of the islands are shown on the plan of the township.
Many of them are very small, especially those in the Dog Eiver. Several of the
islands in Dog Lake have been formed by raising the level of the lake.

EOUTES, ETC.

From Trout Lake, which is one mile south of the south-east angle of the
township a tote road runs north-westerly to the south bay of One Island Lake.
This road has been used for the last two winters for freighting in provisions and
is also passable for waggons but will require considerable more improvement
before it is fit for regular summer use. A winter road runs from the south-
easterly corner of lot six, concession two, to connect with the road system in
Ware Township. From the southerly boundary of the Township to Kaministikwia
via this road is about twelve miles. Another road runs north from Kaministikwia.
along the Dog Eiver to Little Dog Lake. This road is not improved for the two
miles south of the township. In the township this road follows Little Dog Lake
to the north end and here it branches and runs to Dog Lake. The portion
between Little Dog Lake and Dog Lake can be used as a waggon road but the
remaining part is too rough. A winter road branches off this road and runs
across concession eight of Ware and enters Fowler in lot sixteen. It then swings
east and north and is cut out to Hawk Bay. There is also a winter road running
across One Island Lake to Hawk Bay, and on through lot eight in concession
I'our, five and six to Dog Lake. A good trail that has once been used as a road
runs from the north end of the portage from Little Dog Lake to Dog Lake to
ihe dams at the outlet of the lake. Numerous tie roads were found in the
i.eighbourhood of the small lakes in lots six, seven and eight in concessions five
ind six also in lots five and ^ix in concessions one and two and in lots thirteen
end fourteen in concessions one, two and three.

Cleakings, Improvements, etc.

There are several sets of lumber camps in the township. These are in lot
ux, concession two (J. C. Greer), lot eight, concession five (J. Stirrett & Sons),
lot seven, concession six (J. Stirrett & Sons) and in lots fourteen and fifteen,
concession one (Jas. Hourigan & Co.). No other improvements than the build-
ings were made around any of these camps. Two trappers' cabins were seen on
One Island Lake. There is also a full set of camps in lot twenty-three, con-
cession five. These were used by the contractors when the storage dams were
being built but are now in poor condition. No squatters were found and no
other improvements noted.

Water Powers, etc.

The fall between Dog Lake and Little Dog Lake is about three hundred
feet. Many rapids and falls were found along the course of the river. Detailed

1920-21 DEPAETME^^T OF LANDS AND FORESTS. 93

investigations of these have been made by the Hydro-Electric Power Commission
in 1913 and previously and more definite information than we can furnish could
be obtained from them.

Very few indications of game were noticed as the country has been hunted
and trapped over for many years. The lakes are not well stocked with fish
though some lake trout were caught in Hawk Lake. It might be advisable to
stock One Island, Florence and Hawk Lakes with trout as they covdd be made
\ery attractive grounds for fishing.

Survey op a Meridian Line and Traverse of That Portion of Dog Lake
Lying North of the Township of Fowler, District of Thunder Bay.

Port Arthur, Ont., April 30th, 1920.

Sir, — We beg to report that in accordance with instructions issued from your
Department dated September 30th, 1919, we have completed the survey of that
portion of Dog Lake lying north of the Township of Fowler, in the District of
Thunder Bay, and a meridian line across same.

The traverse of Dog Lake was carried on in the winter months but a portion
of the meridian was run in October last.

This lake is about thirty miles north-west of the City of Port Arthur. Tlie
route to it is via Dawson Eoad, thence along the boundary line betwee-n the
Townships of Ware and Gorham to Trout Lake, thence north-westerly along a tote
road to One Island Lake and then by canoe through One Island Lake and Hawk
Lake. There is a winter road through Fowler Township to the bay of Dog
Lake which enters lots nine and ten, concession six.

The survey of the meridian was commenced at the north-west corner of
lot twelve, concession six, Township of Fowler, and from this point a meridian
was run north astronomically across the various points of land and bays to the
last intersection with the northerly margin of the lake. This line was all chained
in the winter and posted according to instructions.

The traverse of the lake was commenced at the intersection of the north
boundary of the Township of Fowler with the high water mark in lot thirteen,
Concession six. Township of Fowler. Trees were marked at intervals of about
one mile the numbers running from one to seventy-five. Eighty-tWo islands werQ

94 EEPOET OF THE No. a

found and surveyed within the portion of the lake covered by this report. These
were lettered and numbered from J.K. 77 to J.K. 158 and on each island a tree-
was marked with the initials and numbers of the island and these will be found
recorded in the field notes of the survey. The traverse of the shore line wa&
made with reference to the margin as defined when the dam of the Kaministiquia
Power Co. at the outlet of the lake is full. At the time the survey was made
the lake was nearly at its original level and the approximate position of the old
shore line as shown in dotted lines on the plan should be fairly accurate.

The greater portion of the margin of the lake is timbered with green forest,
the most prevalent species being spruce. The west shore has been all burned
off by forest fires that passed over the country about ten years ago. Lumbering
operations are being carried on by John Stirrett and Sons on Timber Berth 1).
and their camp is near Station 26 of the traverse.

Few indications of game were noticed. The lake is poorly stocked with fish.

Appendix No. 32.
Traverse of Long Lake, District of Thunder Bay.

Sault Ste. Marie, March 17th, 1920.

Sir, — I beg to submit herewith the following report in connection' with the
traverse survey of Long Lake, made by me i'A ?fie District of Thunder E>av, under
instructions from your Department, dated July 22nd, 19f9.

On receipt of these instructions preparations were immediately made. ]\Iy
assistants were brought from the Garden River Indian Eeserve and the party
left Sault Ste. Marie on the morning of July 30th, by the Algoma Central Railway
via Oba arriving at Long Lake at midnight July 31st.

We commenced our survey from a post planted on the north boundary of
the Long Lake Indian Reserve No. 77, surveyed by O.L.S. Dobie in 19i0, We
traversed the Canadian Northern Railway from this post, which was marked
Post No. 1, to the north shore of Long Lake near the mouth of the Kenogami
River. From here the stadia traverse of the lake was commenced, readings being
taken at frequent intervals to show the irregularities of the shore line.

At intervals of about a mile apart posts were made and carved on the side
next the lake. These were generally made from standing trees and were marked
with a knife as follows: T.l, T.2, etc., up to T.85. In every case these posts were
carefully tied to transit points with transit and a chain as shown on the plan
prepared of thi^ survey. '

1920-21 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS. 95

Islands.

All islands in the lake were located and traversed and marked by a square
wooden post in a prominent place on the island. These posts were made where
possible from standing trees and were carved with the letters G.L. 1, G.L. 2, up to
G.L. 65, there being sixty-five islands in the lake ranging from a quarter of an
acre up to 280 acres. The total water area of the lake was forty-nine square miles.

TiMBEE.

The timber along the shores of the lake is generally small and is not of
value except as pulpwood. Spruce of fair size is found scattered along the shore.
Thick growths of jack pine are numerous especially at the south end of the lake,
where there are large stretches of sand and gravel. Poplar, balm of gilead, birch
and balsam are also quite common. Cedar occurs in a number of places along
the shore.

Geology.

The rock outcrops for the north eight miles of Long Lake are granite. A
contact between this rock and the Keewatin occurs at the narrows about eight
or nine miles south of the north end of the lake. From this point the rock is
mostly a dark coloured mica schist extending for about ten or eleven miles. South
of these schist outcrops granite occurs again. The south stretch of the lake,
however, is heavily covered with sand and gravel. White quartz veins are fre-
quently seen in the schist outcrops, these carry no economic value, according to
samples taken by us which were afterwards assayed. The highest assay shown
from our samples was $1.20 per ton in gold.

Topography.

The southern end of Long Lake is very rugged and mountainous. At one
place a sheer rise from the water occurs of 360 feet. The contour of the country"
however, gradually decreases toward the north, where it is quite low. This part
of the lake is drift covered and the clay land is utilized for farming purposes.
Only a very small area, however, is suitable for cultivation, this occurring at
the extreme northern end of the lake.

Game and Fish.

Moose and caribou are quite plentiful around Long Lake and fur-bearing
animals appear to be numerous, especially beaver. This lake is a splendid one
for fish, lake trout, pickerel, pike and whitefish are all plentiful. Some of tlie
small creeks flowing into the lake abound with brook trout.

General Remarks.

Long Lake is a remarkably fine lake for summer resort purposes. Good
water, navigable for the full length of fifty-one miles, very easy of access, Long
Lake Station on the Canadian Northern Railway being situated on the shore
of the lake. Three stores are doing business here. Two of these were built
in the year of 1919 and the Hudson's Bay Company post, which is about two
miles from the station, has been in existence for over 100 years. The water

96 REPOET OF THE No. 3

elevation of Long Lake is 1,013 feet above sea level and the railway grade has
an elevation of 1,031 feet.

The field work on Long Lake was completed on October 2nd, and the party
arrived in Sault Ste. Marie on October 4th, where they were paid off and disbanded.

Accompanying this report is a plan on a scale of twenty chains to the inch,
a list of the islands showing their area, etc.

To Subdivide the Residue of the Township of Hanlan, District of Algoma.

Bracebridge, November 20th, 1919.

Sir, — Pursuant to your instructions dated the 15th April, 1919, I have sur-
veyed the residue of the Township of Hanlan, consisting of the ninth to twelfth
concessions, inclusive, similarly to the Township of Casgrain, that is the posting
of the ninth concession, this line having been run by O.L.S. Angus, 1912, and
the re-chaining and posting of Speight's base line, the front of the twelfth con-
cession run in 1907, also the lakes Pushimi, Hanlan, Wolverine and Pivabiska,
also the parts of these lakes in the Township of Bannerman,

After completing the survey of the residue of the Township of Casgrain
on the 3rd of September, 1919, I proceeded immediately to the adjoining Town-
ship of Hanlan. The concession line between the tenth and eleventh concessions
was run east and west astronomically from the side line between lots twelve and
thirteen.

The survey of the remaining lines was performed similarly to those in the
Township of Casgrain, except that the side line between lots six and seven is the
east limit of the road allowance, following Angus' survey, 1912.

The lakes were surveyed by stadia traverse and ties were made to the inter-
secting co'ncession and side lines.

A basic triangulation was made of the larger expanses of water. Iron posts
were planted at the intersection of the surveyed lines as shown in the field notes.

General Features.

This part of the township is broken very largely by lakes, so much so that
there are very -few full lots in the concessions. " The country is throughout these
concessions, fairly high compared with the general run of land in this section.
It is covered chiefly with spruce, poplar, and birch, here and there, there are
small muskegs :ar swamps. hvmi ,ci.>(

1920-21 DEPARTMENT OF LAXDS AND FORESTS. 97

Soil.

The subsoil throughout is heavy clay covered on the high land with six
inches of humus and on the lower land with from two feet to. six feet of moss.

Generally speaking, there are few outcroppings of rocks except on the shores
of the lakes.

Timber.

Spruce may be said to be the prevalent kind though there is very consider-
able poplar. Spruce ranges from three to ten inches in diameter. The poplar
averages from, three to eight inches. There are also birch, balsam and tamarac.

Minerals.

Except on the shores of the lakes which are for the most part rocky, there
are few outcroppings of rock, and I submit herewith a sample which appears to
be general throughout the township. Sample was taken at the intersection of the
side lines between lots eighteen and nineteeji.

There is no indication of any minerals. The rocks are igneous chiefly in
the form of granite.

Fish and Game.

The lakes abound with fish, chiefly pickerel and pike. These have been
caught up to twenty-five pounds. The game is plentiful. Moose abound in these
regions. There axe few bear, no deer. On the lakes there are generally ducks
in large numbers.

Lakes and Rivers.

The lakes form a considerable extent of these four concessions, and are
connected as shown on the traverse plans.

In Pivabiska Lake there are numerous islands.

The shores of the lakes may be said to be very rocky and vary in height from
ten to forty feet.

There is a river flowing north-easterly into the junction of Hanlan and
"Wolverine Lakes, which I deemed it advisable to survey. It averages II/2 chains
in width almost up to the eighth concession.

The survey was completed on October 15th, 1919, and the party discharged
at Hearst on October 16th, 1919. It rained almost every day and this, together
with the existing conditions of labour, I experienced great difficulty in keeping
men.

I have the honour to be. Sir,

Appendix No. 34.
To Subdivide the Eesidue of the Township of Casgraix, District of Algoma.

Beacebkidge, November 20th, 1919.

SiR^ — Pursuant to your instructions dated the loth April, 1919, I have sur-
veyed the residue of the Township. of Casgrain, that is the ninth to twelfth con-
cessions inclusive, Pivabiska Lake and the Mattawishkhwia Eiver, and beg to
report as follows: —

I organized my party consisting of myself, two chainers, picket men, three
axe men and a cook, at North Bay on the 29th July, 1919, and proceeded to
Hearst, arriving there on the 31st, reaching the easterly limit of the ninth con-
cession of Casgrain, by the Mattawishkhwia Eiver on August 2nd, where I com-
menced my survey, which consisted of posting the front of the ninth concession
(the line between the eighth and ninth concessions having been previously run
by Coltham and Coltham, 1912) and running the line between the tenth and
eleventh concessions, and the side lines between lots six and seven, twelve and
thirteen, eighteen and nineteen, twenty-four and twenty-five north from the eighth
concession, and the re-chaining and posting of Speight's base line, the north
boundary of the township.

I found the north boundary, this line Avhich had been run twelve years ago
in a very bad shape through the entire township, owing to it being grown up
with tag alders. I also surveyed the Mattawishkhwia Eiver. Pivabiska Lakes and
three other small lakes, as shown on the accompanying plan. Iron posts were
planted at the intersection of the surveyed lines as shown in the field notes.

General Features.

The four concessions of the township might be said to be chiefly muskeg
covered, as usual, with small spruce and tamarac ranging from three to eight
inches. Considerable portion of the higher land as shown on the plan has been
burnt over, I should say, about thirty years ago, and is now covered with second
growth of poplar and birch. West of Pivabiska Lake the land is somewhat higher
than the general run, is slightly undulatihg, covered with poplar and birch.

Soil,

The subsoil throughout is heavy clay, covered on the muskeg with anywhere
from two to six feet of moss, on the burnt areas with a few inches of humus.
There is very little rock in evidence.

Timber.

The general run of timber is spruce in the muskegs together with some
balsam and tamarac. The diameter ranges from three to eight inches. The^
higher land has poplar and birch as shown on the accompanying timber plan.

Minerals.

As stated there are few outcroppings of rock and I submit herewith, a sample
which appears to be general throughout the township. The shores of Pivabiska

1920-21 DEPARTMEXT OF LANDS AND FOEESTS. 99

Lake are to a large extent rocky and the sample was taken from near the inter-
section of this lake by the tenth and eleventh concessions. There are no indica-
tions of any minerals, the rocks are igneous and chiefly a form of granite.

Fish and Game.

The large lakes and rivers abound with fish, chiefly pickerel and pike. The
game is plentiful, moose abound in these regions. There are few bear, no deer.
On the small lakes there are ducks in large numbers.

Lakes and Rivers.

Pivabiska Lake extends into the township through a narrows forming an
expansion known as Bennet's Bay. The shores of the lake are rocky, the land
rises anywhere from ten to fifteen feet around them. It is comparatively shallow,
averaging fifteen feet deep. There are quite a number of shallow places and shoals
of rocky boulders, which make it dangerous for navigation.

The Mattawishkhwia River averages from two and a half to three chains
wide. The banks are not high and are earthy and soft. The river is shallow and
below the eighth concession to the east boundary of the township there are con-
siderable rapids which hinder navigation at low water though the fall at each
is not much.

The river is navigable for good-sized canoes, heavily loaded, any place during
high water.

The survey was completed on September 3rd, 1919, and the party proceeded
to the Township of Hanlan, adjoining on the west.

I have the honour to be. Sir,

Your obedient servant,

Survey of the Outlines of the Townships of MacVicar, Carmichael,
Stringer, Ford, Hicks, Oke, Poulett and Aitken, District of

Timiskaming.

New Liskeard, Ont., August 3rd, 1920.

Sir, — Under instructions from the Director of Surveys, dated May 12th,
1920, our ]Vrr. Sutcliffe proceeded to Kakatush, which is at the Ground Hog
River crossing of the old Canadian Northern Railway, on June 8th, and personally
conducted the survey up to the time of its completion on July 12th. We went
down the Ground Hog River about fifteen miles to the first portage across to

IDO REPOET OF THE Xo. 3

the Nat River to which we crossed and followed to approximately the commence-
ment point of our work.

No serious obstacles were met with either on the journey in or during the
work. Stellar observations were taken at the different points indicated in our
field notes. The nine mile chords are not shown as east and west astronomically
at, all points on the chord, but the true astronomic bearings have been calculated
and noted in the field notes. The work was followed out in the order outlined
in the instructions, and in all cases we satisfactorily checked in with previous
surveys on the east and west sides.

Instrument Work.

Light Mountain Gurley transits were used on the work and Stellar observations
were taken as often as possible. These observations were facilitated by the use
of curves previously plotted in our office for the proper latitude and longitude of
the work, a copy of which is enclosed with the field notes. Correction for time
was made by observation several times.

Chainage.

Chains four hundred links long were used and slope distances M^ere taken when
necessary and corrected with the use of a clinometer and slope tables. The
tapes were properly tested and the chainers were duly sworn. -

Posts and Bearing Trees.

The most durable wood obtainable was selected for posts. We found the
new type of iron posts fairly satisfactory where the ground was suitable, but we
had a few instances where it was impossible to even place witness posts and
mounds within reasonable distances from the points they were intended to witness.
.When possible, small trees were marked for bearing -trees. The trees were
chosen as nearly opposite one another as possible.

Blazing of Lines.

The picket man was held responsible for the l)lazing and the results obtained
were satisfactory.

Timber.

With the exception of the Townships of MacVicar and Carmichael, the country
was almost entirely covered by spruce bush with some balsam mixed through in
places. Several muskegs were encountered, some of which were of considerable
size. The north-west part of the Township of Poulett and the south-west part
of Hicks is brule about thirty years old. In the vicinity of the streams the brule
is covered by second growth poplar, whereas further back small spruce and alders
have grown up. With the exception of the above mentioned townships the spruce
timber is mostly small and suitable only foi; pulpwood, although along the south
boundary of MacVicar some very good spruce was seen.

1920-21 DEPAET^IEN^T OF LANDS AND FOEESTS. 101

In the two above mentioned townships, particularly in the vicinity of the
Ground Hog River, considerable very large poplar was encountered. It was sound
and of good quality. In this same area the spruce is also large. Balsam is
plentiful and some birch was seen, but generally speaking, there is very little
birch in this section. No pine of any description was seen. It was only along
the south and east boundaries of MacVicar, the south boundary of Carmiehatl
and along the Ground Hog River, north of the head of the Long Rapids, that we
saw timber of any real importance.

Water Courses.

The Ground Hog and Nat Rivers were the only streams of importance.
There are a few small creeks but surprisingly few. The country as a whole is
very level. It was only in the immediate vicinity of the above mentioned rivers
that there were any hills of consequence. It was only on the south boundary
of Oke that any lakes were seen.

Rock Formation.
Only along the rivers in the vicinity of rapids was any rock seen.

Agriculture.

The soil is almost entirely a good clay but will require extensive drainage
to be of use for farming.

Animal Life.

Moose are very plentiful. Fur-bearing animals are also very numerous.
The principal fish in the Ground Hog River are sturgeon, pickerel and pike, all
of which are fairly plentiful.

Water Powers.

The only water power of importance is that surveyed by us in 1911 as W.P. 9,
report of which was filed by us at that time.

Accompanying this report are a general plan on mounted paper, a timber
plan on tracing linen and the usual field notes.

We have the honour to be. Sir,

Appendix No. S6.
Survey of Certain Township Outlines in the District of Thunder Bay.

NiPiGON, Ont., August 1st, 1920.

SiR^ — I beg to submit herewith a detailed report on the survey of certain
township outlines in the District of Thunder Bay, said townships lying north of
the Canadian Pacific Railway, and adjoining the boundary line between the Dis-
tricts of Thunder Bay and Algoma, said survey having been performed by me
under instructions dated Toronto, May 12th, 1920.

Pursuant to instructions, I commenced my survey at an iron post planted
by O.L.S. Stewart on the line between Townships seventy and seventy-one at the
north-west angle of Township seventy, said point being also the north-east angle
of Township seventy-one, and being 126 chains 47.9 links north of the centre
line of the C. P. R. The meridian and base lines were run pursuant to instruc-
tions with the exception of the section of the first base line which forms the
boundary between the Township of Atikameg and Bryant, which line was run
from east to west, due to the position of White Lake. (See plan.)

The several lines were well cut out and well blazed — one man devoting his
entire time to the blazing. All posts, iron and wooden, were correctly marked
and planted, and the bearing trees taken wherever possible. Few cairns of stones
were planted about posts as the country was, for the most part, sandy, and few
stones could be found for this purpose. Particular care was given to the correct
marking and planting of the iron posts, the digging of pits and making of mounds.

Frequent astronomical observations were taken, the notes of which accompany
the field notes. I personally took the notes on the timber and soil, the chainmen
doing the actual chaining only. While on the survey, I personally covered a
considerable area on either side of each surveyed line to ascertain the size and
extent of the timber, being particularly impressed with the large areas of spruce
and banksian pine in the townships.

I beg to state that your instructions were closely adhered to in every respect.
Before takifig up in detail the timber, soil, etc. — may I advise you that I have
been informed by reliable parties that the country to the north and to the west
of these townships is well timbered, that the areas of spruce and banksian pine
extend in these directions, particularly to the north, and that good water routes
exist whereby such timber may be driven and brought out. If it is the intention
of the Department to lay out additional townships for the sale of the timber
therein, may I suggest that this territory be investigated before doing so?

Timber.

Throughout the six townships excellent spruce was found, running from
four to ten inches in diameter. There are large areas that will yield from
twenty-five to thirty cords to the acre. It is impossible to note here the location
of these areas, they exist throughout the entire six townships. Reference to the
field notes and timber plan will give the locations of the best of this spruce.
The Townships of McGill, Atikameg and Mikano are the best for spruce timber.

Banksian pine is found throughout all six townships in large amounts, excel-
lent tie timber size. The Austin Nicholson Co., of Chapleau, under permit in
previous years, has taken tie timber out from the Townships of Atikameg, Bryant

1920-21 DEPAETMEXT OF LAJ^DS AND FOEESTS. 103

and Flood, but not to any considerable extent. They have merely touched the
fringe of it. They have camps at present on the meridian line between the
Townships of Bryant and Flood. Last winter through a sub-contractor this
company cut 87,000 ties but were unable to get their drive out. They are at
present erecting a new dam in an endeavour to get their ties out this summer,
Ko attempt has been made to burn or dispose of the slash and there is grave
fire menace through the several townships on this account, especially as there
are Indians, trappers and tourists continually passing through, and camping in,
this area. Two rather serious fires were burning in this area during the progress
of the survey, fires which I personally investigated and found not to have been
started near, or caused by my survey camps.

Xo adequate and complete report is possible on the extent of the banksian
pine in these townships without a careful cruise- being made. The townships
are all exceptionally well timbered with banksian pine running from six to
eighteen inches in diameter. I was particularly impressed with the possibilities
for a sawmill to be located near the north-east angle of the Township of Bryant.
Excellent roads could be made, several are actually in existence, out to the C. P. E.
siding at Bremner. In view of. the scarcity of, and high prices for, lumber in
this district, I beg to suggest that, if these townships are put up for tender, a
clause be included compelling the erection and operation of such a mill.

Aside from the spruce and banksian pine, there is very little other timber
in the townships. There is some large poplar and a little cedar but not in
amounts to be of commercial value. Very little balsam was found and the birch,
although frequently mentioned in my field notes, was in areas small in extent
and of little value.

Soil.

The soil throughout the six townships was sandy with occasional rocky areas
and frequent small areas of muskeg. The areas near the Shabotik Eiver and in
some other places near lakes or rivers was exceptionally good but these townships
cannot be considered as good for agriculture, certainly not for settlement pur-
poses. The value is to be found in the timber and in the timber alone.

Game.

The country is overrun with moose, and in the southerly two townships, red
deer. Partridges were exceptionally plentiful. Pike are found in all of the large
lakes. Fishing operations, under permit, are now being carried on in White
Lake — the main catch being whitefish.

EOADS.

The only roads through the townships are tote roads leading from the C. P. E.
to the several tie camps and connecting the said camps. These roads are shown
on the field notes. The entire country is very level, with the exception of the
southerly part of the Township of Flood. Eoads can easily and cheaply be built
for logging operations in almost any part of the areas covered by this survey.

Minerals.

There were no minerals at all to be found on this survey. The rock, where
it was encountered, was (jranite.

104 RE POET OF THE Xo. 3

Lakes and Eivers.

As shown on the plan, White Lake and its connecting chain of lakes, form
a water boundary to the west of the Townships of Bryant, Atikameg and McGill.
This is a well travelled route, portages being short and well cut out. There are
many lakes throughout the , townships, all of clear, excellent water, with sandy
shores. White Lake has rocky shores for the most part. This lake extends to
Mobert and the Hudson's Bay Company post at that point on the C. P. E.

The Shabotik Biver crosses the Townships of Shabotik, Mikano and Atikameg
m a general south-westerly direction. This is a wide, well travelled river, although
Gum Creek, one of its tributaries, shown to be a well travelled river on existing
maps, is impassable by canoes, being filled with log jams. For the information of
cruisers, or others wishing to investigate these townships, I would suggest starting
from Mobert and paddling up White Lake to the line between Atikameg' and
Bryant. The Townships of Bryant and Atikameg could be covered in that way.
McGill could be covered by following the chain of lakes on to the north of White
Lake. Shabotik and Mikano can best be covered by paddling up the Shabotik
Eiver on its north and south branches respectively. Flood could be reached
by paddling up White Eiver from the old, not the present, station of Bremner,
or by taking one of the two existing tote roads that come out to the C. P. E.
near mile eighteen on that railway. Should more detailed information be desired
re the several routes for reaching the townships, I will be glad to supply same.

In conclusion, I beg to state that your instructions have been carefully
followed in respect to the survey of these townships. I have put special attention
upon the notes of the timber. I was particularly impressed with the great value
of the spruce and banksian pine. I beg to enclose herewith plan and field notes,
timber plan, astronomical observations, etc., etc., covering the entire work. Trust-
ing that my work and this report upon the same will be found to be satisfactory.

I have the honour to be. Sir,

Your obedient servant,

Survey of Kashaweogama and Island Lakes, in the Districts of Thunder

Bay and Kenora.

Thessalgn, December 1st, 1920.

Sir, — In accordance with your instructions dated February 28th, 1920, I
have made a survev of Kashaweogama and Island Lakes, in the Districts of
Thunder Bay and Kenora, and beg to submit the following report.

I left home on the 9th March accompanied by one man and was joined by
five men, according to arrangement at Sault Ste. Marie that evening. The

1920-21 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AXD FOEESTS. 105

following morning I proceeded to Sioux Lookout via Franz and Fort William,
and after securing there what was needed to complete my outfit, I proceeded to
Bucke, where I arrived about two o'clock on the morning of Sunday, March 14th.

Word had been sent to Mr. A. H. A. Eobinson, of the Department of Mines,
Ottawa, to meet me in Bucke on Monday, March 15th, and he arrived on that
date, his train being some hours late. I secured the services of a couple of local
Indians with dog teams, to help move the outfit and supplies to the starting
point of the survey, and found their help of great assistance, as even with their
help, it was necessary to make two trips with the outfit. We found a very good
trail as far as Lake Savant, where we branched ofi: to the west, through a series
of small lakes to Kashaweogama Lake. It was Friday afternoon, March 19th,
before we were ready to start the actual survey.. I had hoped to obtain an
observation before starting, but cloudy weather prevented this, so a start was
made from an assumed meridian on the morning of Saturday, March 20th.
Fortunately, I was able to get an observation on Polaris early on Saturday even-
ing, and corrected my bearings.

From this point on, the survey was carried on with all possible speed, as it
was realized that the season was late, and the work had to be rushed in order to
get out before the ice became too bad. We were held up occasionally for short
intervals by stormy weather, and once just after we started, by a couple of hot
days followed by rain, which took all the snow off the ice. The surface of the
lake became so slippery that it was almost impossible to stand, and there was from
four to six inches of water all over the lake. This, however, did not last long.
For the most part, the weather conditions were good for the work, and the tem-
perature continued low, so that the ice was still firm when we finished the survey
on the afternoon of April 27th. During the last week we made it a point to
be at work by daylight, in order to take advantage of the good walking in the
early morning.

We started for the railway early on the morning of April 28th, and the trip
out took two days. Considerable difficulty was encountered on account of the
snow having nearly disappeared on the portages. Some of these were filled with
fallen timber, so that our toboggans and snowshoes suffered severely, so much
so that they were nearly all abandoned when we reached the railway. The ice
on the lakes was quite firm, but some difficulty was experienced in getting on
and off the ice as it was getting bad close to the shore.

The work on the survey was carefully done, all angles being measured with a
transit, and the main traverse lines being measured with a Fice chain steel tape.
The bearings were checked frequently by astronomical observations. The details
of the shore line were measured with .stadia rods, these measurements being
taken close enough together to show all details of the shore line. At intervals
of about a mile, a prominent tree was squared and marked with the letter "B "
followed by the number of the tree in Roman numerals. Each island bad a tree
squared and marked in the same manner, except that trees on the islands were
marked "I, No. — " followed by the number of the island in Roman numerals.
These trees were all recorded in the notes, the bearings to them from the various
transit stations being measured with a transit, and the distances with a steel tape.

The magnetometric survey which was to be carried on in connection with the
shore line survey, was attended to by Mr. A. H. A. Robinson, of the Department
of Mines, Ottawa, and this work was carefully and accurately done. The cross
sections where the magnetic measurements were made, were laid off witli a transit

8 L.F.

106 EEPOET OF THE Xo. 3

and the distances chained. Soundings were taken where considered necessary,
and the taking of these proved to be rather a laborious operation, as the ice in
places was forty-two inches thick. As the area over which the magnetic survey
was to be made did not extend much more than half way down Kashaweogama
Lake, it was not necessary to continue this work any further, and Mr. Robinson
left for home on March 31st, his work being done. Before he left I supplied
him with a copy of my traverse bearings and distances, and such other information
as was necessary for him to make a proper report, and I understand that his
report has been filed in your Department some time ago.

There is not much to add to this report, as the timber and the geological
features were reported on by Mr. Henry Bell, and by Professor Parsons, respec-
tively, who accompanied me on the survey of the boundary between the Districts
of Thunder Bay and Kenora in 1919. I might say in passing, however, that a
very large portion of the territory adjacent to these lakes, as well as many of the
islands in them, have been overrun by fire within recent years, and the timber
destroyed. The result is that the greater portion of the country presents a most
desolate appearance. The shores are mostly rocky, and the prevailing rocks are
green schists and other rocks of Keewatin age. There is a short stretch of river
between Kashaweogama and Island Lakes in which there is a fall of about three
or four feet, which is passed by a portage on the north side about six or seven
chains long. All of the waters of these lakes goes out via Dog River which
leaves the west end of Island Lake. =

The notes of the survey have all been plotted on cross section paper, on a
scale of ten chains to an inch. Tracings of this plan in two parts, one showing
Kashaweogama Lake, and the other showing Island Lake, have already been sent
to your Department. These tracings show all the information that was obtained
during the progress of the survey.

On account of having to get ready to start for Lake St. Joseph as soon as
possible after the completion of the field work of this survey, it was not possible
to complete the plans and other returns earlier in the season.

Accompanying this report, are a copy of my diary, time book, together with
my pay sheets and accounts in triplicate, and I trust that you will find everything
satisfactory.

I have the honour to be, Sir,

Your obedient servant,

(Sgd.) James S. Dobie,

Eeport of the Survey op Certain Township Outlines North of the
Canadian Pacific Eailway, in the District of Sudbury.

South Porcupine, December 1st, 1920.

Sir, — I have the honour, in accordance with your instructions to me dated
May 11th, 1920, to submit the following report on the survey of certain township
outlines, north of the Canadian Pacific Eailway in the District of Sudbury.

On August 19th, my party arrived at the Woman Eiver Station on the
C. P. E., and the following morning proceeded down the river an approximate
distance of four miles to the point where it intersects the meridian run by
O.L.S. Speight in 1909. From this point part of the party proceeded north
along this meridian to the twelve mile post, the starting point of the survey;
the other members of the party proceeded down the river with supplies to be
cached at or near the place where the 1st base line would cross the river.

The survey which commenced on August 26th was conducted throughout
in strict accordance with your instructions. The base lines were run as chords
of parallels of latitude, passing through the township corners. The east limits
and west limits of townships were run north astronomically. Frequent observa-
tions were taken on Polaris, the notes of which accompany the other returns. In
chaining, a clinometer was used at all times, and horizontal distances deduced
from the measured slope. Distances across obstructions were measured by offset
or triangulation. Many magnetic observations were taken, and the results thereof
are shown in the field notes. The lines were well cut out and blazed, and posts
of the specified varieties of wood were planted where required. Iron posts of
the standard pattern, shipped by you to Woman Eiver Station, were planted,
and the necessary pits, mounds and trenches constructed as called for in your
instructions.

Unusually low water in the streams this season made transportation difficult,
but this was more than offset by the ideal weather, conditions.

Soil.

The country through which the lines passed is mostly rough and hilly, but
in small tracts undulating, and can hardly be classed as agricultural. The soil,
except in the swamps and valleys, consists of a few inches of leafy loam and
twelve to eighteen inches of sand and clay on bed rock, as a rule. The swamps
like all others of Northern Ontario, have varying depths of moss and muskeg.

Timber.

Approximately the western half of Dore and Garnet appear to have been
burnt over about six years ago, and the ground is now covered with semi-decayed
fallen timber, and a new growth of small poplars and birches. The remaining
portion of the territory, except in small strips along streams and lakes, apparently
had been burnt over about thirty years ago, and is now covered with a thick
growth of healthy timber, large areas of which is pulpwood size. A few white
and red pines survived the fires and are now thriving, apparently. The varieties
of timber are spruce, balsam, white birch, poplar and banksian pine on the high
laiid<, and cedar, small tamarac and black ash on the low lands.

108 EEPOET OF THE Xo. 3

Minerals.

The greater part of the rock throughout the country is granite and green-
stone. Many small stringers of quartz were observed, but no large veins. Small
stringers of hematite were noted in several places along the line between Heenan
and Teuton Townships, but are not likely of any economic importance.

Watek Powers.

There are three small water powers on the Ridout River within the limits
of the land surveyed, and one larger power, but in a dry season like this the
amount of power that could be developed would be almost negligible.

The water in all lakes and streams is clear and pure.

Game.

Large and small fur-bearing animals were numerous. Beaver work was
seen in or along nearly all lakes and streams, and there were many indications
of timber wolves, fox, lynx, fisher, otter and bear. Moose were very plentiful,
and a few indications of red deer were observed. Partridge of different varieties
were very plentiful, also. The lakes and streams contain pike, pickerel, trout,
and whitefish.

I am submitting with this report a general township plan, a timber plan,
field notes, account in triplicate and the required affidavits.

I have the honour to be. Sir,

Your obedient servant,

Ontario Land Surveyor.

Survey of the North Seventy-eight Miles of West Boundary of Nipigon

Forest Reserve and Production Thereof North to Whitewater

Lake, District of Thunder Bay.

Port Arthur, Ont., October 13th, 1920.

Sir, — We beg to report that in accordance with your instructions dated
May 18th, 1920, we have completed the survey of the meridian forming the west
boundary of the Mpigon Forest Reserve, a'nd produced it north to intersect the
south shore of Whitewater Lake.

A copy of the map of the Geological Survey of the Department of Mines,
Ottawa, is enclosed showina; our route coming from Whitewater Lake to the
National Transcontinental Railway. A copy of this map and one furnished by

1920-21 DEPAKTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS. 109

your Department were used by our supply men this summer and they report that
they found them substantially correct. As shown on the map there is another
route to Whitewater Lake from Outlet Bay on Smoothrock Lake by which it
would appear to be easier to get to the end of our line, but was not used by us
as we did not move farther north than the south-west bay of Whitewater Lake.
Our route strikes the railway at a point about two and one-quarter miles east
of Collins Station, the track passing over the last lake on the route, from the
end of this lake a portage may be made into Trout Lake, Collins being only a
short distance from the west end of this lake. From Gnome Lake, shown on the
map to the track, the route appears to be different from that on the map, there
are three portages from the track to Gnome Lake which is easily recognized and
from this point the route is as shown on the map. There is said to be a route
without portages from the south end of Tamarac Lake to the track but we were
unable to find it.

The survey was commenced at the iron post planted at the north-west angle
of the Black Sturgeon Timber Limit and run north astronomically ninety-four
miles, twenty-four chains and twenty-two links to the south shore of Whitewater
Lake, crossing the Canadian National Railway at fifty-eight miles, four chains
and ninety-eight and four-tenths links. Observations were taken at sufficient
intervals to keep the line within the specified limits. The normal magnetic
variation was zero degrees. Iron and wooden posts were planted as directed
in the instructions in regard to same. In some cases where it was not found
possible to dig pits and make mounds on account of rock and boulders, where an
iron post was to be planted, and it did not appear that any better conditions
would prevail for a considerable distance, the iron post was set in place but the
pits and mounds were omitted, such points are shown in the field notes.

The soil for the most part is sandy, a very large proportion of the country
being a boulder bottom. In the south fifteen miles spruce swamps are the most
prominent feature, there is some clay and clay loam land between these swamps
but these areas are not large. Through the last twenty-five miles there is con-
siderable of the rock and swamp typical of this part of the country.

Up to the thirty-fifth mile the country passed through is well timbered,
spruce being the principal species, a large proportion of the trees are up to
twenty-eight inches in diameter. There is also good jack pine in this section
although not as plentiful as the spruce, about eighteen inches in diameter is'
the limit for this timber. There is a good stand of jack pine about one mile
across north and south just north of the Gull River. There is also in this area
l)irch up to sixteen inches, poplar to eighteen inches and balsam to eighteen
inches, a few scattered white pine were seen on the seventeenth mile. From
the thirty-fifth mile north the timber has for the most part been burnt or else
is too small to have any value. There are a few spots shown on the timber plan
where there is timber of good size, there are also small isolated areas, principally
swamps in the stretches shown as burnt which are green.

The rock formation seen was almost uniformly granite; no minerals were
soon.

No water powers of any magnitude were met with, although the supply men
>tate that there is a big fall in the Gull River a few miles west of the line.

Throughout the .whole line moose were plentiful and in some parts deer
lid caribou were seen, the latter notably in the region of Caribou Lake. Fish,

110 EEPOET OF THE No. 3

except pike, were not found to be plentiful in any of the lakes or rivers except
Clearwater Lake and this appeared to be well stocked with trout.

We have the honour to be, Sir,

Your obedient servants,

Appendix No. J^O.
739 Broadview Ave., Toroxto, Ont., October 29th, 1920.

Sir, — Acting under instructions received July ITth, 1920, from the Depart-
ment of Lands, Forests and Mines to accompany the Canadian Aero Film Co. in
their flight to James Bay, I kept in touch with the said company to ascertain
their date of departure. In due course I was informed that the plane would
leave Hamilton, Monday, July 19th, 1920, so I left Toronto on that date in
company with Mr. Fred Griffin, arriving at Cochrane on the following evening.

The plane on a trial trip Monday had an accident that was more serious
than was first supposed, and so did not reach Lillibelle Lake, which is two miles
north of Cochrane, until Wednesday afternoon, August 11th, 1920.

The party consisted of Mr. Irwin Proctor, President of the Canadian Aero
Film Co., Capt. Eoy Maxwell, pilot, George Doan, mechanic, Jack Hyde, rigger,
Roy Tash, cameraman, H. M. Blake, of the Ontario Government ]\Iotion Picture
Bureau, Fred Griffin, of the Toronto Star }^^eTch/, and myself.

The plane used on the expedition was a HS2L Curtiss-built seaplane, having
a maximum speed horizontal flight of eighty-five miles per hour and a consumption
of gasoline of thirty gallons per hour, full open.

Abitibi Trip.

On August 13th a trip was made from Lillibelle Lake north and east of the
Abitibi Eiver down towards New Post.

Observations from the plane showed that the country lying for fifty miles east
of the Abitibi Eiver almost as far as New Post was dotted Avith small grassy
lakes varying in size from one hundred to two thousand feet in length. Lakes
of the same size were also noticed on the west bank, but numbering only about
one-third those on the east bank. The lakes were general as far as the eye
could see.

The area east of the Abitibi Eiver and extending from the junction of the
Frederick House and the Abitibi Eiver north to near New Post was a dense
unbroken forest, mostly spruce (eighty per cent.), some tamarac, and very little
birch and poplar. About four per cent, of the area was water. No burnt areas
Were seen.

1920-21 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FOEESTS. Ill

On the west side of the Abitihi River the forest was more broken being about
twenty per cent, bald rock, two per cent, water, fifty per cent, spruce and the
rest birch and poplar. This area differs from the east side of the Abitibi River,
being dotted with patches of larger spruce of timber size (about fifteen per
cent, of the spruce).

Small creeks running into the east bank of the Abitibi down which logs
could be driven were fairly numerous.

A number of moose were seen on the shores of the lakes from the plane
during the flight.

On account of the narrowness of Lillibelle Lake we missed the tops of the
trees by about five feet while taking off for the Abitibi flight. As this had
happened with the plane not fully loaded, Capt. Maxwell decided that Lillibelle
Lake was too dangerous for a base. A scouting party left the next day on a
gasoline jigger west from Cochrane on the Canadian National Railway to find
a more suitable spot. Remi Lake, three miles north of Moonbeam Station, was
decided on as the best possible place for a base. Our supplies were then shipped
to ^loonbeani and carted into a clearing on the north shore of Remi Lake where
camp was pitched. The plane flew over light, taking one hour and thirty minutes.

Captain Maxwell reported finding a number of burnt areas for the first
twenty miles. The next twenty miles he met a series of small lakes running
north and south. There were also rock outcroppings with many patches of beavor
meadow; the rest of the country passed over being thickly wooded with spruce
of pulpwood size. Some eight or ten miles from the railroad along the Ground
Hog River fire had swept both banks eating into a depth of two and a half miles
on the west bank.

Remi Lake District,

A number of short trips were made to test the machine, get a general idea
of the country and take pictures.

The ground was slightly undulating around Remi Lake and thickly wooded
with about sixty-five per cent, spruce, the rest being hemlock, balsam, birch,
poplar and cedar. The poplar and birch were in patches with long thin lines
extending into the spruce areas. On account of the poplar and birch being a
light green they were easily distinguished from the spruce which is a very dark
green.

Captain ^laxwell with his mechanic left on August ITth with the intention
of caching some gasoline ahout half way to James Bay, in order to have sufficient
to enable them to return to Remi Lake should the plane meet a storm or strong
southerly wind on the trip back.

On the trip down they were unable to find a suitable spot to land so went
right through to Moose Factory leaving thirty gallons of gasoline at the Revillion
Freres' post there. They returned the following day, leaving the next day to cache
thirty gallons of gasoline on a lake about twenty-five miles north of Remi Lake,
which they had seen on the previous trip. This was done as a precaution against
a forced landing through lack of fuel,

Mattagami-Moose Trip,

On August 27th we left for Moose Factory from Remi Lake. The country
passed over^just after leaving Remi Lake was very thickly wooded, with a few
lakes. The trees were mostly spruce (about sixty-five per cent.) the rest being

U3 REPOET OF THE No. 3

tamarac, balsam, poplar, birch and balm of gilead. We travelled in a northerly
direction, passing over three lakes on only one of which we could land, until we
reached the Kapuskasing Eiver. All this country which we came over and as
far as we could see was densely wooded, about sixty-five to seventy-five per cent,
of the trees being spruce of pulpwood size with patches of larger spruce of timber
size (about fifteen per cent, of the spruce) among them. These could be dis-
tinguished as we were travelling at a height of 1,200 feet. The day being hot
there was a heat haze which made the horizon quite indistinct and of a brownish
colour. About forty miles north of Remi Lake and east of Devil's Eapids there
were five lakes. They were too small to land on and take off again with any
degree of safety. About fifty miles from Eemi we first met muskeg. It was
only in small patches, the rest of the country being well wooded. As we proceeded
up the Mattagami the country on the east side was well wooded with spruce

Forced landing on Mattagami River.

although patches of poplar and birch, some of them being about two miles long,
also showed. On the west bank it was also well wooded but gradually as we
proceeded north the patches of muskeg became larger, until about fifteen miles
south of the junction of the Missinaibi and Mattagami Elvers where again it
became thickly wooded with spruce, tamarac, poplar and birch, and extended north
CO the junction.

Just previously to crossing O.L.S. Speight's line, which could be seen quite
clearly from the air, and lying west of the river were six lakes of considerable
size, the largest being about twelve square miles.

About twenty miles south of the junction of the Missinaibi and Mattagami
Eivers along the east bank of the Mattagami. there was a strip of muskeg about
one-half mile wide extending northerly eight or ten miles, which had the appear-
ance of an old river basin. Beyond the muskeg it was well wooded as far as the
west bank of the Abitibi Eiver.

»

1920-21 DEPARTMEXT OF LANDS AND FORESTS. 113

Along the Moose River it was fairly weir wooded near the banks, but beyond,
TO the west, there was nothing but muskeg wooded with scrubby spruce and
tamarac. At the junction of the Abitibi and the Moose, and between the rivers,
it was thickly wooded mostly with spruce, some of good size, tamarac, poplar and
birch. It is here that the Hudson Bay Company get the timber that they use in
their mill, some of the white spruce being about two feet in diameter (see photo-
graph No. 19). At the mouths and along the Kwataboahegan and French Rivers
It was thickly wooded with spruce, tamarac, poplar and birch.

The Mattagami River was very dry and the shoals could be easily seen ; for
miles the rocks showed up bleached and white, while down the centre of the bed
was a small stream of water.

The islands at the mouth of the Moose River were thickly wooded.

One thing noticeable was the absence of streams of any size emptying into
the main rivers; nor were there any lakes visible.

There were no burnt areas noticed.

The visibility was rather poor on this trip on account of the heat haze
before mentioned, which in the distance gave things a brownish tint.

The difference in elevation between Remi Lake and James Bay was 925
feet. This was checked on the five trips.

The Shores of James Bay.

It was observed on the trips along the shores of James Bay both to the east
and to the west that the character of the coast was extremely low and flat.
At low tide a mile or more of mud is left bare. Photographs Nos. 36, 37 and
38 show this very plainly. They were taken about half tide.

A muskeg wooded in patches with scrubby spruce, tamarac and alder ran
for at least fifty miles back from the shore. There were no large water eourses
we could follow to enable us to go further inland, neither were there lakes on
which we could land in order to examine the country.

On the trip along the shore to Hannah Bay countless wild geese and ducks
were seen. They looked very small below us, giving a black and white wave
effect, as they flew in towards the swamps. Hannah Bay is a wonderful breeding
place for these geese and ducks, and the Indians go there from Moose Factory
returning with boat loads full of these birds. They cook and pour lard on them
which keeps them until they are needed in the winter time.

The channels leading into James Bay at the mouth of the Moose River are
very shallow with numerous bars and shoals. (See photographs 31, 32, 33
and 34.)

The steamer used by the Hudson's Bay Company to carry goods from the
Charlton Islands, drawing six to eight feet, cannot cross the bars at the mouth
of the Moose River at low tide.

Climate at Moose Factory is generally more moderate than at Remi Lake,
not having such extreme temperatures. At Remi Lake, August 22nd, after a
hot day we had quite a heavy frost at night, the next day again being hot, while
at Moose Factory there had been no signs of a frost, but sudden changes have
been known to take place when the wind changed from a southerly to a northerly
direction, the temperature dropping as much as forty degrees in half an hour.

On Moose Island, potatoes, cauliflower, ])eets, carrots, turnips, etc., are grown,
as well as hay, oats and Avheat. The oats and wheat do not always ripen but

Hi EEPOET OF THE Xo. 3

this year, owing to favourable weather conditions, they ripened about September
10th.

Eevillon Freres' post on the mainlaijid is built on a muskeg which has been
drained. They can grow potatoes, but of a poorer quality than those on Moose
Island. They get a good crop of hay. If the moss were burned off and the flats
drained it would make good soil for hay and grazing purposes.

The soil on the islands at the mouth of the Moose Eiver is very rich owing
to its being of delta formation. These often escape frosts that occur on the main-
.land. Therefore, the quality and quantity of the produce grown on Moose Island
should not be taken as a criterion of the possibilities of the mainland in this
neighbourhood.

The rivers were very shallow this year and canoes going up to the railroad
had to be poled for miles. The rocks shown in photographs Nos. 6, 21, 22 and
24 in ordinary years are covered by water.

In all five trips were made from Eemi Lake to Moose Factory carrying
four passengers and baggage as well as one hundred gallons of gasoline to use
on the flights along the shores of James Bay. All gasoline that we used on our
trips from Moose Factory had to be transported there by the seaplane.

The trip from Eemi Lake to James Bay was very trying. The pilot generally
had to rest for a few hours after making each flight. It was also dangerous,
there were so few places where the plane could land with safety. Had the rivers
been, anything like their size during the flood season there would have been many
suitable landing places.

The weather was exceptionally hot, causing a peculiar state of horizon. A
bush fire was raging near New Post and a number of small fires were burning
near Eemi Lake. For days the smoke hung over the land delaying our departure.
At Moose Factory the fog and mist, which came in with the tide, were also
another cause of delay. In the middle of a hot calm day it was difficult to gain
height and the air was exceedingly bumpy, making travelling very uncomfortable.

I would suggest on any future flights, in order to make extensive journeys
through the unexplored regions around James and Hudson Bays, that the trip
be planned far enough ahead so that a supply of gasoline could be landed at
James Bay by boat or floated down the Albany by scow in the spring. As will
be noticed from the description of the plane, thirty gallons of gasoline is con-
sumed per hour, thus a considerable quantity of fuel would have to be cached
on James Bay in order to carry on the extensive operations which the country
warrants.

I have the honour to be, Sir,

Your obedient servant,

QUETICO PROVINCIAL PARK.

Superintendent's Report.

Kawene P.O., November 2ik1, 1930.

The Honourable, the Minister of Lands and Forests,

Toronto, Ontario. __

Honourable Sir, — I beg to submit my report for the fiscal year ending-
October 31st, 1920.

During the season a quantity of fur was taken from the Park, but owing
to the unusually early " freeze up " last year we did i\ot get started in time as our
traps had not arrived when the canoeing closed, and also many of the rangers
were unaccustomed to trapping. However, one hundred bears and a number of
smaller furs were taken. Owing to the extremely high wages paid for labour in
this district rangers were very hard to get, and many that applied were not
competent canoemen.

I am pleased to say we had no fires in the Park this year. The summer
season in this district was very wet, the water being higher than for five years
.before. Owing to the unusually high water two docks and one bridge were
washed away, but all have since been rebuilt.

Bass have been found in a small lake south of Quetico Lake. This is the
farthest north that bass have been discovered on the Park.

Fur and game are very plentiful, particularly beaver, which are now both in
the Park and surrounding district.

Partridge are very plentiful, as I can count while writing this report eleven
partridge feeding on the clover at the doorway.

We have had more tourists than ever before, mostly Americans; five hundred
and twelve dollars being collected for fishing and guides' licenses.

"We will be obliged to build a barge for transportation of horses and supplies
on Eva Lake, as the one now in use is worn out and no longer serviceable. Pro-
vision will be made for the building of the barge this coming winter.

One of our. gasoline engines is out of order and must be sent to a machine
shop for needed repairs. One canoe will also be required for next season's work.

I am. Sir,

Your obedient servant,

(Sgd.) Hugh McDonald,

Superintendent Quetico Parle.

116 EEPOKT OF THE Xo. 3

Appendix No. Jf2.
Algonquin Peovincial Park of Ontario.

Honourable Sir, — I beg to hand you my twenty-second report on tlie
Algonquin Provincial Park for the fiscal year ending October 31st, 1930.

Our staff has been composed of twenty-nine rangers and superintendent,
housekeeper for rangers' quarters, and caretaker, whose duty it is to keep the
grounds in order and the rangers' quarters.

Eangers' Duties.

The duty of our rangers during the trapping season is, of course, to see that
no illegal trapping is done within the Park boundaries, and, considering the vast
territory to cover, and the many means of entrance to watch, they have succeeded

Headquarters — Algonquin Park.

very well in doing so, although, no doubt, some lawbreakers have escaped. The
rangers have made during the year eight arrests, and succeeded in having imposed
fines to the amount of $325.00, in addition to $25.00 costs, the latter sum repre-
senting the amount paid to bring in the parties. Where no costs were imposed
the parties paid their way coming in. In every case their traps, etc., were con-
fiscated, especially in the case of one gang that had everything taken from them,
tents, blankets, rifles and provisions, one of the members being an old offender.

In this connection I would recommend that all rangers be made Provincial
constables-, so that they could follow a man out beyond the Park, and make arrests.
Some of them were so made years ago.

During the year when no trapping is going on our men patrol the Park,
cutting out portages, repairing shelter houses, and 'seeing that the Park regulation?
are carried out generally, pirticularly with regard to camp fires; and T am glad
to report that notwithstanding the hundred^ who spend the summer canoeing and
camping in the Park, we have had very little trouble along these lines. We find

1920-21 DEPARTMENT OF LAXDS AND FORESTS. 117

tlie public generally muck more alive to the importance of care in this matter
than they were years ago. I consider the posters, put up each year by the fire
rangers, have had a good deal to do with this.

FlEES.

We had some rather bad fires along the Canadian Northern Railway, but
they did not do a great deal of damage in the Park. On the south side we have
been very fortunate, as the fires that started along the railway were caught in
time and no damage done. The fire tank has been stationed here all summer
with two men in charge, constantly in readiness to go out on the first train to
any fire started along the railway. This, with the telephone service, has very
much minimized the damage along tlie railway from fires started' by locomotives,
which were our greatest menace.

Game.

Game of all kinds is increasing all over the Park, especially the beaver, the
annual increase of which must run up into thousands. Otter, mink, martin and
fisher are also abundant, while the deer are greatly in evidence everywhere. Wolves
are still numerous in the Park and take a large toll of deer. The rangers are
doing their utmost to destroy them, and a number are killed every year. The
past winter was an unusually good one for the deer and partridge, and I never
saw them come through in better condition.

Live Beaver.

Regarding the taking of live ])eaver for shipment from the Park, last year
an order was taken for something over one hundred for points in the United
States. Of these fifty were shipped, but owing to the embargo placed upon ship-
ments by the United States we discontinued taking them. We were at a consider-
able loss after having made preparations to take the full number which we would
have had shipped in time if the express people had taken them: as it was, we had
to keep the fifty over for some time, and it took the time of a man to attend
to them and carry food from the l)usb to feed them. The price obtained was less
than the skins were worth, while the work of taking them alive is ten times
greater than taking the pelts, when you have to hold them over any time.

T would therefore recommend that the price of live beaver, if vou should decide
to take them, be put at $1-10.00 a pair. The dealers we have at times supplied in
the States charge $100.00 per animal, and we liave been supplvinir them at $30.00
each. It was through no fault of ours that all orders were not filled hist year

T would respectfullv recommend that all live animals sold from Algonquin
Provincial Park, if possible, be disposed of in Canada. There is so much red
tape in connection with shipments to the United States, that in getting back our
empty crates it is hardly worth the bother it gives. For instance, I have only
just got last summer's empty crates released by customs here, after at least a
dozen letters and payinsr entry fees. T have no doubt, now that the war is over,
many people in Canada will turn their attention to breeding fur-bearincc animals,
and a market could be found for all the Government wish to take out. The price,
however, should be at least four times the value of the pelts, as thev represent
at least that much additional cost. A large quantitv of fur has been taken out and
sold in Toronto, l)ringing the nice sum of $14,179.00.

EEPOET OF THE

Xo. 3

Tourists.

From a tourist standpoint this has been the most successful year since the
outbreak of the war, and we were glad to see many of our young men back who
had been overseas. Many came here to build up again, and the amount of benefit
received was certainly a tribute to health giving qualities of our great Provincial
health resort. The fishing was good, and some very fine specimens were taken
both of speckled and salmon trout, and small-mouthed bass. People are beginning

to realize the value of this vast reserve and health giving region and are taking
a deeper interest in all that pertains to its improvement and protection. We
sold this year fishing licenses to the amount of $1,821.00, and guides' licenses
to the amount of $54.00. Guides pay a license of $1.00 each, so that we had 54
licensed guides working in the Park during the. past year. These are paid by
the different tourist parties coming in at the rate of $4.00 per day and canoe
found, and $4.50 if the guides furnish their own canoe. This represents over
$5,000 a month paid to men of the Province, principally by citizens of the United
States in this one section alone, and gives a very faint idea of what the tourist

119

trade means to tlie Province of Ontario. We have collected in rents $810.00
which does not include the rents paid by the Grand Trunk Eailway and others
direct to Toronto. A number of new leases have been granted.

I would recommend a survey being made of Eock Lake such as was made of
Cache Lake, and $10.00 being charged each applicant for lease in addition to
the rental to cover survey. This work could be done now to advantage, as it
could all be done on the ice with the help of our rangers, and the parties could
stop at our shelter houses. This lake is pretty well crowded now, and Eock Lake
is being taken up fast. It is very difficult to give a description of the parcels
asked for without a survey.

School Camps.

We have a number of school camps in the Park which represent some fifty
people, mostly boys. On Cache Lake we have The Large Girls' Camy) under

Algonquin Park Inn, Railway Station, Pav...i.i..

the management of Miss F. L. Case, of Eochester, N.Y. At this camp we have
some seventy-five persons including help and instructors. These camps are a
great boon to the young people who attend them, and they go home from the
holiday built up mentally and physically, and it begets in them a love of the out-
doors that makes them infinitely better citizens wherever they may locate.

CORDWOOD.

The 541 cords of wood left over from last year, of the wood taken out ai
headquarters by our rangers and some help, has been shipped to different points.
The shipping of that taken out by jobbers still drags on and will nor be finished
until well on in 1921.

• -Hotels.

Tlie hotels in the Park have been crowded to their full capacity and many
applicants had to be refused while a great many people tented out all over the
Park. The Highland Inn will be open all winter, and is pretty well booked up.

120 REPOET OF THE Xo. 3

The Grand Trunk are putting in an electric plant here which will be a
great improvement, and it might be more economical for the Government to
secure light from them instead of using gas, as now.

A survey of the eastern boundary was made, and I would recommend one
being made of the western boundary, as there are hunting camps right up to the line
in many places, and it is very poorly defined. I have iron Park notices for the
boundary when surveyed that will make it impossible for any one to trespass
unknowingly.

Yours very truly,

G. W. Baetlett,

Parh Superintendent.

Uonourahle Beniah Bowman, Minister of Lands and Forests,
Toronto, Ontario.

Appendix No. 43.

Honourable Beniah Bowman,

Minister of Lands and Forests, Ontario.

Sir, — I have the honour to submit my report of the work performed by the
Colonization Roads Branch of the Department of Lands and Forests, for the
fiscal year ending October 31st, 1920.

Following the system I adopted last year, I am presenting the report in
tabulated form. By the use of this method, the details can be given in a more
concise form than in any other. On the final page is shown a summary of the
total amounts of the various classes of work performed.

The total expenditure for the year was $451,808.59. Of this amount $265,-
993.05 was expended directly by the Government upon roads, bridges, and ppecial
road drainage, in some three hundred and twenty-five different townships. The
amount expended upon inspection and miscellaneous services was $23,263.29, the
balance, a sum of $162,552.25, was distributed as grants to one hundred and forty-
six municipalities which had expended sums totalling double this amount under
Colonization Roads By-laws.

With reference to future expenditures on Colonization Roads, I would recom-
mend that the only roads upon which the Government should consider making the
entire expenditure, without local assistance, would be leading, main, market, or
trunk roads, or roads connecting up isolated settlements. On any other roads, the
total expense should not be borne by the Government alone, but the work should
be undertaken by local governing bodies, such as municipal councils, where town-
ships are organized under the Municipal Act,, or township road commissioners,
where the townships are organized under the Statute Labour Act. In these cases,
the expenditures should be supplemented by Government grants to be expended
by such local bodies under the supervision of an Inspector or Engineer of the
Department.

1920-21 DErAET:\rENT OF LANDS AND FOEESTS. 121

Some such system as this, I think, would tend to increase local interest in
road construction and maintenance, and cultivate a more self-reliant and inde-
pendent spirit in the various localities where expenditures are being made by this
branch, by placing the responsibility for the efficient carrying on of much of the
roadwork on the local officers of the different townships.

I have the honour to be, Sir,

Your obedient servant,

C. H. FULLEETON,

Superintendent Colonization Roads.
Toronto, Ontario, October 30th, 1920.

144 EEPOET OF THE No. 3

Appendix No. 44'
To the Honourable the Minister of Lands and Forests, Ontario.

SiE, — I have the honour to submit to you the report on the construction and
maintenance of highways and bridges, under the provisions of the Northern and
North Western Ontario Development Act, 1912, and amendments, during the season
ending 31st October, 1920.

Operations were carried on in the Districts of Eainy Eiver, Kenora and
Thunder Bay, the Sub-districts of Sault Ste. Marie, St. Joseph's Island and Mani-
toulin, the Districts of Algoma, Sudbury, Nipissing, Parry Sound, Muskoka and
Timiskaming, the Counties of Eenfrew and Simcoe and in Algonquin Park. In
the detailed report following, the District of Timiskaming is shown in sub-divisions
as follows: Cochrane, Englehart, Kapuskasing and Hearst, Matheson, and
Porcupine.

The North Bay-Toronto, Mattawa-Pembroke and other trunk roads traversing
more than one district have been shown separately in the detailed report and only
works completely in a district are shown under that district heading, the districts
being placed in alphabetical order.

The sudden death of Mr. Whitson, on June T2th, 1920, coming at a time when
early summer organization and re-organization was under way, rendered the matter
of arranging efficient supervision a difficult undertaking without an actual cessation
of activities for a time, but the work was carried on as efficiently as possible under
the circumstances and supervised by the then existing staff without additions.

In conclusion, I would add, as in former reports, that the Department's organ-
ization should include considerably more technically trained and experienced road
makers to advise and direct the actual work carried on in the various districts.

All of which is respectfully submitted,

I have the honour to be. Sir,

Your obedient servant,

C. H. FULLEETON-,

Director, Northern Development Branch.
Toronto, October 31st, A.D. 1920.

148 KEPOET OF THE . Xo. 3

ROAD EEOM SWASTIKA TO KIRKLAND LAKE AND TOUGH OAKES

MINES.

This road, in the Township of Teck, District of Timiskaming, is the only
outlet for the "^ Kirkland Lake Gold Camp " and all supplies and material have
been transported by this route. The construction of a water bound macadam road,
in lieu of a railroad, was commenced in the season of 1919. The work necessitated
considerable expenditure in drainage and a number of minor diversions from the
original travelled road were found advisable. The distance from Swastika to
Tough Oakes is approximately 6 miles and the entire distance is now well surfaced
with crushed stone and steam rolled, with the exception of a few hundred feet the
surfacing material for which we were unable to secure, owing to a shut off of power
which put the crushing plant out of business a week or so before the forced closing
down of the work, due to snowstorms. During the season, 13,468 cu. yds. of stone
were placed on the road covering a distance of 4.9 miles.

SAULT STE. MARIE DISTRICT.

Trunk Road, Sudbury to Sault Ste. Marie:

This road, two hundred miles in length was divided for maintenance purposes
into three divisions, the western under J. Leacock, the central under J. E. Wright
and the eastern under H. C. Halford, as foremen. A regular patrol was estab-
lished in order that washouts and bad places might be promptly repaired. At the
same time one-third of the entire distance was re-gravelled and other betterments
made.

Tlie section between Algoma and Cutler, 19 miles in length, on which work
commenced in 1919, was completed with the exception of the surface gravelling of
four miles. One 20-foot reinforced concrete bridge was built on this section.
Particular care was taken on this section with grades, alignment and drainage and
all swampy stretches were drained and stone filled.

Owing to shortage of labour and the necessity of finishing the above section by
the middle of July, it was not possible to run the rock crushing plant to capacity.
A sufficient quantity was crushed, however, to surface some of the softer portions
of the roadbed. The plant was moved to the vicinity of Webbwood, where it is
installed ready for operation in the ensuing season.

A fill of five thousand yards was made at the Town of Blind River to replace
a condemned wooden structure leading to the bridge over the Blind River. This
fill was riprapped, gravelled and railed. The following figures give a summary of

One bridge was raised 3 ft., 6,764 cu. yds. of gravel or shale were used in
patching and re-surfacing, 39 timber and 6 iron culverts were constructed, and
35 miles of the road was dragged when weather conditions suited for this form
of maintenance.

At one rather dangerous curse a large clay cut was made and the road widened
sufficiently to minimize the danger, and to carry this out successfully necessitated
the construction of high rip rap to prevent the fill sliding down the banks of the
Pigeon Kiver. At other curves the road was kept brushed out to provide as clear
a view ahead as possible.

In the latter part of the season an attempt was made to establish a mainten-
ance patrol with considerable success; the road was repaired with gravel, dragged,
and ditched along the Horn Kill; 2 timber culverts were reconstructed and 300' ft.
of ditches opened.

The season's efforts were confined mainly to the Township of McGregor, and
consisted of repairs and improvements to the existing road, and new construction
along the Hydro-Electric pole line to the McKenzie River, where concrete abut-
ments were constructed to carry a 60-ft. steel girder bridge. A small amount of
new work was done east of the McKenzie but only in connection with hill cutting
in making the eastern approach to the bridge.

Four miles of road were brushed out, 4.75 miles were cut, 5 miles stumped,
3 miles grubbed, 3 miles graded, and 5^/4 re-graded, 4,850 cu. yds. of gravel was

STATEMENTS FOR REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31st OCTOBER, 1920

NEW LISKEARD DEMONSTRATION FARM.

Work carried on in connection with the Farm during 1920 consisted largely
of land clearing and in production of an oat crop. Lack of any farm buildings
made it altogether impracticable to attempt to handle a variety of grain crops or
field root crops. Therefore, it was deemed advisable to sow only one grain crop,
viz., oats. Sixty acres were seeded to oats, seven to O.A.C* No. 73 and the balance
to O.A.C. No. 3. Of the sixty acres, forty-two were new land cropped for the first
time. A very creditable crop was harvested, the quality number one — the No. 3
weighed forty pounds per measured bushel just as delivered from the threshing

O.A.C. No. 72 Oats, grown on the New Liskeard Demonstration Farm, 1920.

mill. An average yield of forty bushels was realized from the entire field, some
parts of the field yielded sixty bushels per acre.

In addition to sixty acres of grain, twenty acres of hay crop was harvested, a
total crop of eighty acres altogether on the farm.

Forty acres of new land was seeded down for hay for 1921. Twenty-six acres
of new land were cleared during the summer and made ready for crop for next
year.

The farm gave an approximate yield of:

Oats 2,500 bushels.

Hay 40 tons.

Straw 30 tons.

The most urgent need of the Farm at the present time is suitable farm
buildings. The policy of growing and selling hay and grain is not in the best
interests of the farm and certainly cannot be recommended to Timiskaming agri-
culture.

Lectures were held only in the afternoon as it was impossible foe farmers to
attend in the morning.

The attendance was very good although not as large as expected. This can
be explained by the fact that a very large percentage of farmers and farmers' sons
interested in Short Course work are always busy timbering during the winter.

The Seed Fair was excellent considering the poor harvest conditions of the
previous falls.

REPORT OF ONTAEIO GOYERNMEXT CREAMERY, NEW LISKEARD,

ONTARIO.

To the Honourable the Minister of Lands and Forests:

Sir, — I beg to submit report of Creamery from November 1st, 1919, to
October 31st, 1920.

As was expected on account of the very wet season in the fall of 1919, and
the high price and scarcity of feed, a great many farmers disposed of a great
number of their cows, and a great many that were kept over, came out of the
stables in very poor condition, and it was well on in the summer before they were
producing the amount of milk they otherwise would have. We also had two
private Creameries in the outlying district which took a few of our patrons in the
Immediate vicinity of them. However, we are able to show an increase in the
value of business done during the year, and the prices paid were the hio-hest that
ever were paid in the history of the Creamery husiness. One drawback to the
dairy industry is the number of star boarders still in a number of the farmers
herds; this coupled with scrub bull, is a detriment to the industry. However, we
are glad to report from the number of individual cows we have under test, and the
i-ampaign on to eliminate the scrub bull, we can now look forward to greater strides
in the dairy industry.

The total number of patrons for the past year was two hundred and fifteen.
The Creamery is growing in favor each year on account of the work it saves the
women on the farm, and the steady cash revenue on the fifteenth and thirtieth of
each month.

There being a great deal more feed in the district this year and the fine open
fall, we look forward to much larger production of cream this coming winter.

The following is a summary of business done since we started operations on
the 18th of August, 1917, to October 31st, 1920 :

Amount of cream received 838,176 lbs.

Amount of butter manufactured 267,897 lbs.

Value of butter manufacturer! $1 41,258 85

Paid patrons for cream 126,462 52

I have the honour to be, Sir,

Your obedient servant,

A. MacLachlan. Manager.

182 EEPOET OF THE Xo. 3

Appendix No. 46.
Eepokt of the Board of Adjustment, Appointed April 17th, 1920.

To Effect Settlements with the Colonists at the Returned
Soldiers' and Sailors' Colony at Kapuskasing.

In the Report of the Commission of Enquiry appointed on February 21st,
J920, certain recommendations were made for the adjustment of the affairs of the
settlers at Kapuskasing. In order to give effect to these recommendations, the
Government appointed a Board of Adjustment, consisting of Brigadier-Ceneral
J. A. Gunn, Professor A Leitch and A. S. Morgan, on April 17th, 1920. Later
Dr. Albert H. Abbott was named as Secretary of this Board. This Board of
Adjustment was empowered to effect settlements in the case of each settler, and for
its guidance the following basis of adjustment was authorized by the Government.

Regulations Under Returned Soldiers' and Sailors' Land
Settlement Act, 1920.

1. The adjusting officers shall be the adjusting officers appointed under the
Northern and North-Western Ontario Development Act, 1912, 2 Geo. Y, Chap. 2,
and such adjusting officers shall be authorized to appoint such officers, employees
and servants as they may require, at such wages, remuneration or salary as they may
deem expedient for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of the Returnel
Soldiers' and Sailors' Land Settlement Amendments Act, 1920'.

2. The adjusting officers shall be authorized to hold such hearings and take
such evidence on oath or otherwise as they may deem necessary, and to make such
awards, settlements and grants as provided in paragraphs 11 (a) and 11 (h) of
the said amendments of Act, at such places and at such times as they may deter-
mine. That subject to amendments by the adjusting officers as hereinafter pro-
vided, the basis upon which any award, settlement or grant shall be made shall
be as follows :

(a) The houses and buildings erected upon the settlers' location shall be
valued, and the settlers' building account with the Northern Development Branch
shall be adjusted in accordance with such valuation.

(&) Each settler, who has not ceased to be a member of the Colony, shall be
given the privilege of electing either to remain in the Colony or to leave it.

(c) In the event of a settler electing to leave the Colony, in accordance with
the provisions of paragraph (h), the value of the obligation of the Department
for the ten-acre clearing ready for the plough, either done or to be done, shall
be fixed at $1,000.00, and the settlers' general account with the said Branch shall
be credited with that amount.

(d) In the event of any settler having any clearing ready for the plough
beyond the Government ten acres, he shall be credited in addition to the amount
mentioned in paragraph (c) at the rate of $50.00 per acre for not more than ten
acres, and the value of any additional partial clearance by the settler shall be fixed
by the adjusting officers and credited to the settleT.

(e) Each settler being indebted for animals purchased shall return the same
to the Government and be credited with the purchase price, including any cash
already paid by him on account thereof.

1920-21 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FOEESTS. 183

(/) Credit shall be given to the settler for all saw-logs, pulpwood, railway ties,
or other timber cut by him but not delivered.

(g) Each settler shall be entitled to free transportation for himself, his family
and effects, to any point in Ontario chosen by him.

(h) That from the aggregate of the value of the houses and other buildings,
as ascertained in accordance with paragraph (a), and the said sum of $1,000,00
under the provisions of paragraph (c), and any sums due to the settler under the
provisions of paragraphs (d), (e) and (/), shall be deducted the indebtedness of
the settler up to and including the date hereof, provided that such balance due to
any settler shall be deemed to be not less than $500.00, subject to the deduction of
any indebtedness incurred after the date hereof. Any such balance shall be paid
to him in monthly instalments of $100.00; the first of such payments to be made
on the date of the adjusting account hereinafter referred to, and such first payment
to be subject to the deduction therefrom of the amount of the settler's indebtedne.^s
to the said Branch incurred after the date hereof.

(i) The Adjusting Officers may authorize the payment of the whole or any
portion of any balance, as provided in paragraph (e), in a lump sum, either on the
date of the adjusting account or at such time as they may deem advisable.

(;') In the event of d settler electing to remain in the Colony, in accordance
with the provisions of paragraph (&), the settler shall have the privilege of receiv-
ing as a gift, a horse from amongst those at the Colony, and a half set of double
harness, and the sum of $200.00, payable quarterly in advance; the first of such
payments to be made upon the date of the adjusting account. Priority of selection
of horses to be determined by priority of application to enter the Colony.

(h) If any settler does not desire to accept a horse and harness, as provided
in paragraph (;'), he shall be given $450.00 in lieu of the horse, harness and
$200.00 as provided in paragraph (j).

(I) Farms left vacant by those settlers who elect to leave the Colony at
Kapuskasing shall be available for transfer to those at outlying points who elect
to remain. The terms of adjustment shall be settled by the Adjusting Officers,

(m) Seed grain necessary for seeding each settler's available land during the
spring of 1920 shall be supplied free, provided that such settler furnished to the

Adjusting Officers a statement of the area of such available land before

day of 1920, and the acreage of each crop he intends to plant. The

choice shall be confined to spring wheat, oats, barley, timothy and clover seed.

(n) The Adjusting Officers shall provide each settler at present at the
Colony with a statement of his adjusting account. The form to be used for a
settler who elects to leave the Colony shall be that attached hereto, marked " Form
No. 1," and the form to be used for the settler who elects to remain shall be
marked " Form No. 2," and such respective forms of account, when completed and
executed by the Chairman of the Adjusting Officers on behalf of those officers, and
by the settler, and in the case of a married settler by his wife, shall be conclusive
as to the facts stated therein, and shall be sufficient authority for payment of any
monies shown therein to be due to him or on his account.

(o) Notwithstanding any provisions in these regulations contained, the Ad-
justing Officers may alter, amend, or vary the terms of these regulations as they
in their absolute discretion may deem expedient or advisable.

184 REPOET OF TELE No. 3

After studying the question for some days, the Chairman of the Board drew
the attention of the Prime Minister to certain matters connected with the settle-
ments, and received for the guidance of the Committee a letter as follows :

Toronto, April 24th, 1920.
"My dear , General Gunn, —

" I am writing this letter as a general instruction from myself and the Govern-
ment with regard to the settlement of the affairs of the settlers at Kapuskasing.

" You are already familiar with the terms of the basis of adjustment, and these
must stand. Recognizing, however, the correctness of the statement made by the Com-
mission of Enquiry on page 12 of the printed report, we have added a paragraph which
gives the Board very full discretion in the application of the general principles laid
down. The Commissioners' statement is: 'They are convinced that no solution of the
difficulty can be proposed which will be equally fair to all parties,' and the paragraph
which we have added to the Basis of Adjustment is as follows:

" ' Notwithstanding any provisions in these regulations contained, the adjusting
officers may alter, amend or vary the terms in these regulations as they in their abso-
lute discretion may deem expedient or advisable.'

" In using the discretionary power given to the Board, I would suggest that two
general principles be kept in mind: (1) We wish, in the treatment of all settlers, to
err on the side of generosity rather than to strive to drive a hard bargain v^rith them;
(2) We wish that those who have been successful, and who elect to remain at Kapus-
kasing, should be treated rather more generously than those who elect to leave the
Colony.

" We have been informed that the adjustment of the alleged overcharges in the
cost of the houses could be simplified by giving the settler credit for what he has paid
on his house and ignoring the balance of indebtedness which stands on the books
against him in the ' House ' account. We wish you to consider whether this would be
a fair and simple solution of the difficulty.

" While the above will apply to by far the greater number of houses, we are in-
formed that some houses have been built which have cost the settler up to twice as
much as the standard house recommended by the Government. We feel that in erect-
ing these more expensive houses, the settlers must assume responsibility for their
judgment, and we suggest that you consider limiting the value of any house to say
$800.00, or at most $1,000.00. This would mean that no matter how much the settler
may have actually spent on his house, he would not be allowed more for it than the
maximum set.

" In dealing with those who elect to remain at Kapuskasing, we feel that one con-
sideration has been omitted from the Basis of Adjustment. When the settlers went
to Kapuskasing, under the original plan, they were promised, (1) a free grant of 100
acres of land, (2) the clearing of ten acres at the expense of the Government, (3) a
grant of $150.00 toward the huilding of a house. In the Basis of Adjustment, no men-
tion is made of the obligation of the Government to complete the clearing of the ten
acres in cases in which that amount of land has not been cleared. We recognize our
obligation in the case of those who elect to leave the colony by paying them $100.00
an acre up to ten acres whether the land has been cleared or not, and we feel that
the same consideration should be given to those who elect to remain, namely, in the
event of less than ten acres having been cleared, we should allow such settlers at the
rate of $100.00 an acre for the balance of the ten acres. This would be in addition to
the provision made in Section 4 of the Basis of Adjustment.

" Further, in Section 4 (c) it is provided that those who elect to remain may
select the land of those who elect to leave, and ' in such cases generous terms of ad-
justment should be given by the Government.' I feel that no general rule can be made
with regard to these terms, and therefore the Government leaves the making of these
termg in each specific case wholly in the hands of the Board.

" The Government recognizes that a somewhat difficult task has been laid before
you and your Board, and we wish you to feel that we have every confidence that the
terms of settlement which you propose will be as equitable to each settler as they can
be made. Complete fairness as between different settlers may be impossible to attain,
but in that case we wish the settlers to feel that, while the settlement may be more
generous to one than to another, it is intended that it should be generous to all. This
applies particularly in the application of Section S (d). If the settler recognizes that
what the Government wishes to do is to provide every man who leaves the colony
with at least $500 to start him in his new life, it will probably be seen that it is hardly
right to speak of any settlement as being unfair.

" Special mention should also be made of one class of settlers, namely, those who
have spent but a few months in Kapuskasing. They went there knowing the condi-
tions. I think all of them were connected in some way by blood ties with persons who

1920-21 DEPAETMENT OF LANDS AND FOEESTS. 185

were already there. The Government did not assume the same obligations in their
case as with the original settlers. I would suggest, therefore, that instead of feeling
bound to allow them $1,000 for the clearing of ten acres, you should consider making
a grant to them in no case to exceed $500. This would be done not as a recognition
of a Government obligation, but in order to help them to become established in any
new occupation they may take lup.

" Yours very truly,

"(Signed) E. C. Drury.
" Brigadier-General J. A. Gunn,

" Chairman, Board of Adjustors for Kapuskasing Settlers,
" Toronto, Ont."

On April 24th the Board proceeded to Kapuskasing, and arrived there in the
evening of the 25th. The settlers who had elected to leave the Colony were notified
that the Board would meet them in the morning of April 26th. By Thursday
evening, April 39th, the Board had effected settlements with sixty-one settlers who
had decided to leave the Colony. In effecting these settlements the Board was
assisted by Mr. Charles Lennox, architect, who visited the houses and other build-
ings and placed a valuation upon them, an'd by Mr. G. F. Summers, O.L.S., who
measured the land cleared or partly cleared. A special train was ordered for these
departing settlers and their effects, and on Saturday afternoon, May 1st, the train
left Kapuskasing with practically all those who had decided not to remain. This
train arrived in Toronto on Monday morning, and was met by representatives of
the Citizens' Eepatriation League, who saw that every settler remaining in Toronto
had proper accommodation until permanent quarters could be secured, and those
who were taking trains out of the city were assisted in every possible way. The
Board of Adjustment is greatly indebted to the Citizens' Eepatriation League, not
only for this service, but also for helping the settlers in many ways to become
established in their new homes. Within two weeks most of the settlers were either
actually established in their new surroundings, or were well on the way to becoming
established. Most of the men who left Kapuskasing have either purchased farms,
or have gone to work on fanns during the summer months, awaiting a more
favourable opportunity for purchasing in the fall. A few of them have gone into
their old lines of business, and a few have taken positions in manufacturing estab-
lishments. The Board felt that it should do everything in its power to assist these
men to become settled in the kind of work in which they wished to engage, and
any advice it could give, or any assistance it could render, which should be placed
at their disposal ; consequently, it arrange'd with the Citizens' Eepatriation League
to do for these settlers what it had been doing so efficiently during the past year
for returned soldiers.

In the afternoon of April 26th the settlers who had elected to ren;ain at
Kapuskasing were met, and the general basis of settlement was discussed with
them. However, on account of the fact that the basis suggested did not seem
adequate, the Board decided to reach settlements with these men after it had had
an opportunity of talking the matter over with members of the Government. A
general basis of settlement was reached immediately 'following the return of the
Board to Toronto, and the settlers were notified of the suggested settlement by
letter on May 10th. On May 29th, the secretary proceeded to Kapuskasing, and
was able, on Monday, May 31st, to effect settlements with all those remaining at
the Colony.

186 REPOET OF THE to. 3

Basis of Settlement With Those who Elected to Leave the Colony.

The general basis on which the Board proceeded in effecting settlements was
as follows:

1. Houses. As the Government was taking over the property of the settlers
leaving the Colony, it did not seem important to determine whether there had been
an overcharge made when the houses were built for the settlers. Consequently,
the Government grant of $150 was allowed in each case where the settler had a
house, and the settler was paid for any additions he had made to the house at
his own expense. This avoided the necessity of entering into an intricate calcula-
tion which could only, in any case, have been roughly approximate to the actual
facts. For this reason, in its basis of settlement, the Board made no reference to
the value of the house, or to the house account on the Colony books, settlement being
effected under two headings as follows :

1. Government grant allowed.

2. Labor and materials allowed.

2. Buildings other titan Houses. A valuation was agreed upon between the
settler and the Board, and this amount was allowe'd.

3. Land. According to the basis of adjustment, $1,000 was allowed for the
ten acres which the Government had agreed to clear for the settlers under the old
scheme, and due allowance was ma'de for any clearing which the settlers had done
on their own account on the basis of a maximum of. $50 an acre for fully cleared
land. Due allowance was also made for ploughing done, at the rate of $10 an
acre, and for the cost of seed and seeding done.

4. Wood, Cut hut not Delivered. Allowance was made the settlers for wood
cut but, not delivered on the following basis :

Sawlogs, approximately $1 00 a log.

Pulpwood 4 00 a cord.

Cordwood 2 00 a cord.

Various other matters had to be adjusted, but the Board refused to attempt
to make adjustment in all matters upon which accurate information was not avail-
able. This covered certain matters in dispute between the settlers and the Colony
Superintendent from 1917 down. In particular, no allowance was made for work
alleged to have been done in connection with contracts which had been let to the
settlers, but which were later cancelled. However, it may be said that had the
Board made allowance for all such work at the valuation placed upon it by the
settler, a very moderate sum, not exceeding $1,000, would have been involved.

From the total due to the settler, according to the above basis, was deducted
the amount standing against him in the supply account, store account and horse
and cow account on the books of the Colony, and from the net balance due the
settler were deducted any advances which had been made to him through Eev. H.
J. King — which had, of course, already been paid. "''

Basis of Settlement With Those who Elected to Eemain at Kapuskasing.

After meeting the settlers who intended to remain at Kapuskasing, and ascer-
taining from their representations that they were not satisfied with the basis of
adjustment proposed by the Commission of Enquiry (namely, a grant of $450, or
its equivalent), and as this agreed with the view already reached by the Adjusting
Officers, we decided to recommend a new basis for the consideration of the Govern-
ment. After going into the matter very thoroughly, and considering in particular
what effect an allowance for the balance of the land uncleared, in the ten acres

1920-21 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND EOEESTS. 187

which the Government had agreed to clear, would have, we decided to recommend
a grant of $1,000 to each settler. This was accepted by the Government, and
accordingly the following principles were adopted as a basis of settlement :

1. A grant of $1,000 was made to each settler, and particularly to those under
the '■ old scheme." Those under the " new scheme " were treated according to the
■circumstances in each case.

2. All alleged overcharges on the house accounts were adjusted.

3. All the settler's indebtedness to the Colony was deducted from the amount
.•allowed him.

4. Seed grain, etc., was provided free for sowing in the spring of 1920. ,

5. Certain of the farm machinery returned by the settlers who had left, or
Avhich was otherwise in the possession of the Colony, was given to the settlers.

6. In the case of the transfer of settlers to lots vacated by those leaving the
'Colony, we proceeded on the following basis :

The value of the land and buildings formerly held was compared with the
yalue of the land and buildings on the lot desiredy and approximately 25 per cent,
•of the difference was charged the settler for making the transfer. Several transfers
weie, however, made on even terms, and in the case of those on. the "new scheme"
a few transfers were made in lieu of the grant of $1,000, or a large part. of it.

7. Settlers were allowed to apply for the reservation of lots for their sons on
terms to be settled by the Government.

Attached to this Report will be found statements showing the amount of seed
grain, etc., allowed each settler, and the farm machinery given to the settlers. We
:also attach a copy of a letter sent to each settler remaining at Kapuskasing. This
letter states the views of the settlers and the replies of the Adjusting Officers, and
it thus is important in connection with the settlement.

We have also made out complete statements of the settlements effected, and
these are attached hereto. These statements show the following :

Eighty-three settlers, on the Colony books on May 1st, have left Kapuskasing.
-In the case of six of these eighty-three, addresses were not known, or for other
reasons no settlement was asked for by them.

Twenty settlers elected to remain at Kapuskasing.

One hundred and three settlers, that is, all on the list as eligible for settle-
ment, are thus accounted for, and of these, settlements were effected with ninety-
j-even.

Of the six with whom settlements were not made, the following may be said:

Wm. Gauthier was entered on Land Settlement Scheme on October 29tli;
1919, under the new scheme. He left the Colony on November 16th, 1919. The last
Jiddress known for him was Xushka, Ont. He was hot regarded as meriting con-
sideration.

Bexjamix Halliwell was entered on Land Settlement Scheme on July 5th,
1918. He left the Colony on June 14th, 1919, on two weeks' sick leave, since when
110 information has been received of his whereabouts. As coming under the old
scheme he might make a claim for the grant of $1,000 for ten acres of land, but
we should not have allowed him more, tlian $250 in any case, and believe he is
actually not entitled to anything.

Arsene Huar'd entered on Land Settlement Scheme on September 5th, 1919,
under the new scheme. He left the Colony on November 5th, 1919, expecting to
return in the spring of 1920, but nothing has been heard of him, and his address
is not known. He is not entitled to consideration in any case.

188 EEPOET OF THE No. a

John Innes entered on Land Settlement Scheme May 7th, 1918, and left
the Colony on February 21st, 1919, requiring surgical treatment and mentally
deranged. He is now in the Manitoba Provincial Hospital at Selkirk, Man. We
have corresponded with the Superintendent and learn that he has no dependents, and
that he is now under the care of the Department of Soldiers' Civil Ee-establishment.
He is apparently an incurable case. Had he been at the Colony he would have
received at least a grant of $150 on his house and $1,000 on his land, but we
believe no settlement is necessary.

T. T. Lewis entered on Land Settlement Scheme on March 26th, 1918, and
left the Colony for medical treatment on December 8th, 1919. He lived at Port
Hope, but we have been unable to learn more of his whereabouts, and a letter
addressed to the Mayor of Port Hope brought no reply. He apparently had no
house at Kapuskasing, and therefore he could receive consideration only on the
land grant. We believe he need not be further considered.

W. G. Moffat entered on Land Settlement Scheme September 25th, 1918, and
left the Colony on May 4th, 1919, for three months' leave at Hamilton, Ont. The
last address known for him there was 767 Barton Street. He had a house at
Kapuskasing, which was valued at $729,00, as against a cost, according to his
house account, of $542.31 plus $150.00— $692.31. We believe the house should be
taken over and the house account cancelled, and that no attempt should be made
to follow the matter further.

The settlements effected with those leaving the Colony show the following
totals :

Valuation of houses $47,572 00

House accounts cancelled $25,526 80

Allowed settlers on houses 12,868 00

Excess of valuation over accounts cancelled and amounts allowed 9,177 20

These statements show the following cost to the Government of this whole
settlement :

House Accounts Cancelled:

Settlers leaving Colony $25,526 80

Settlers remaining in Colony , . 5,263 07

Supply Accounts Cancelled:

Settlers leaving Colony $10,799 21

Against this the Government receives cleared land, on which no valuation can
be made, and houses and out-buildings valued as follows :

Houses $47,572 00

Barns, etc 15,708 00

$63,280 00

Deducting the value of the Buildings from the total cost of the settlement to
the Government — transportation charges and other incidental expenses not con-
sidered— we get :

Total cost •. $143,168 66

Value of buildings 63,280 00

$79,888 66
or approximately the amount of cash paid out.

It is evident, therefore, that the Government has paid approximately $8Q,000
to get back the land, cleared and uncleared, set aside for the Soldiers' and Sailors'
Colony at Kapuskasing, with the exception of the twenty lots held by settlers still
remaining in the Colony. At this cost, it has satisfied the hundred settlers that
the Government wanted to deal fairly by them. Indeed, it might be said that most
of the settlers would admit that the Government had treated them generously
rather than merely fairly.

Copy of Letter Sent to Settlers on May IOtii, ee Suggested Settlement.

Be the Adjustment to he made with the Settlers remaining at Kapushasing.

Dear Sir, — The Boafd of Adjustment, in accordance with the promise made
to the settlers remaining at Kapuskasing, has had a conference with the Govern-
ment relative to the basis of settlement with these men, and we are now able to
report the general basis upon which such scheme will be eflfected.

In the basis approved by the Government, in accordance with the report of
the Commission of Investigation, the settlers electing to remain were to receive
$450 in cash or its equivalent value, and they were to have the privilege of trans-
ferring to lots left vacant by those leaving the Colony on terms which should be
approved by the Government. It was also provided that seed for this spring's
sowing should be supplied to these settlers free of charge.

Also, the settlers electing to remain were advised to form a school section
as quickly as possible, and the Government was to pay the salary of the teachers,
or teacher, for at least two years.

The settlers who wished to remain in the Colony did not think these terms
as favourable as were the terms proposed to those electing to leave, and they pre-
sented to us certain suggestions, which were as follows:

1. That settlers whose ten -acre lots are not yet ready for the plough, be paid
for completing stumping, or that the Government finish the job.

2. That all settlers remaining be placed on an equal footing.

192 EEPOET OF THE No. 3

3. That slashing and burning contracts to the value of $500 be given to each
settler for the year 1920, and the same for 1921.

4. That settlers remaining be given their patent, and have their building loan
cancelled.

5. That settlers be allowed to reserve lots for their sons.

6. That so long as horses remain on the Colony farm, settlers continue to get
the use of them under the same conditions as at present.

7. That settlers be permitted to buy food at cost from the Colony farm, so
long as the farm is in operation.

8. That farm implements be provided for the use of settlers.

9. That as twelve children of school age now reside in Yorkville, a school be
provided for them at once.

10. That settlers have preference in all work to be done at the Colony farm.
In answer to these suggestions we stated that they would have to be taken

up with the Government, and we now are able to give answer to them as follows :

1. The suggestion regarding the allowance for uncleared land would be adopted
in principle, no settler to receive more than one thousand dollars for ten acres.

2. This suggestion will automatically come into effect by the abandonment of
the scheme, and broadly, in the settlement now to be made those on the new scheme
will be treated practically the same as those on the old.

3. The Ontario Government will not provide work for settlers, but this is not
necessary, as Mr. Ballantyne, of the Dominion Government- Farm, assures us that
he can give employment to all those remaining, in connection with the Dominion
Government Farm.

4. We could not recommend, nor would the Government consider, the granting
of patents on any basis more favourable than that already provided in the settle-
ment scheme.

5. There is no objection whatever to settlers reserving lots for their sons, but
such reservations will have to be made in the regular way, and not as a special
favour to be granted by our Board. The only consideration which could be allowed
would be that certain terms might be arranged with regard to the work to be done
on such reserved lots, which would be of more advantage, both to the settler and
his sons, than would be the case were their work divided. The beginning of the
clearing on the sons' lot might be delayed for a reasonable time. TJiis, however,
will be a matter of individual adjustment.

6. So long as horses remain on the Colony Farm settlers may continue to
get the use of them under the old conditions, but it is understood that this can
be for a limited time only, as horses will not be retained on this farm by the
Government after the final settlement has been made.

7. -Settlers may buy feed at cost from the Colony Farm so long as the farm
is in operation and has such feed to sell.

8. It has already been provided that settlers may receive farm implements
free of charge when recommended by the Board, but no indiscriminate distribution
of implements is to be made.

9. While no formal settlement with regard to the location of a school in
Yorkville has been made, the Government is entirely favourable to such an arrange-
ment as the Yorkville settlers suggested to the Board, viz., the Government would
supply the materials and the settlers would themselves construct the school build-
ing free of charge. Until such time as this building is constructed a house suggested
by the Yorkville settlers may be used as a school building, it being understood

1920-21 DEPARTMENT OF LAXDS AXD FOEESTS. 193

that any arrangement regarding the school will not be effective until the begin-
ning of the school term next fall.

10. As the Colony Farm is not to be operated by the Government there will
be no opportunity of the Government carrying this suggestion into effect.

When we came to consider a basis of adjustment, we reached the conclusion
that the most equitable to the settlers as a whole would be that a grant of one
thousand dollars to each settler remaining in the Colony should be made, it being
understood that this amount was to be applied in the first instance to the wiping
out of any indebtedness up to April 30th which there might -be on the books of
the Colony against these settlers, and that so far as may be considered advisable,
debts incurred, under the recommendation of the Board of Adjustment, since
April 30th, should be covered also; this, however, to be done in such a way that
it will not unduly embarrass the settler. That is to say, each individual case will
have to be considered with regard to the payment of debts incurred since April
30th. With regard to the individual settlers, always bearing in mind that debts
incurred since April 30th are not here included, this would mean the following
adjustments :

The Board purposes to have the secretary proceed to Kapuskasing in the near
future and have the necessary agreements signed by the settlers. In the meantime
it is understood that the above statement covers the settlements which the Board
is willing to make, with the exception of minor adjustments which may be necessary
or advisable in individual cases.

The fact of any settler acting on statements contained in this letter l)efore
he actually signs the agreement with the Government is to be taken as clear evidence
that he accepts the terms herein proposed, and that he understands that the accept-
ance of these terms releases the Government from any obligation, real or implied,
which was undertaken with the settler under the Eeturned Soldiers' and Sailors'
Land Settlement Act. It is, of course, understood that no money is to be paid
out to complete this settlement until the papers are actually signed.

(Here Follows the Settlement in the Case of the Settler Addressed).

1
Part of the cash balance will be withheld until you proceed to build a house.
This will be adjusted with you later. . ■

Yours faithfully,

(Sgd.) Albert H. Abbott,
Secretary, Board of Adjustment, Kapuskasing Colony.

Appendix No. 47.
Settlers' Loan Commissioner.

Toronto, December loth, 1920.
To the Honourable the Minister of Lands and Forests, Ontario.

Sir, — I beg to herewith submit a report of the operations conducted by this
Department under the Northern and North-western Ontario Development Act,
Amending Acts 1916 and 1918.

Up to October 31st, 1920, a total of 2,227 applications for loans were received,
asking for an amount of $874,760.00, an average of $384.61 per application.
Careful consideration was given to each individual request, and loans advanced-
on the basis of security offered in the way of improved land, where it was clearly
sliown the money could be used to good advantage for the improvement of settle-
ment duties.

A total of 1,556 loans have been made to settlers, amounting to $490,836.00,
an average of $315.44, and in addition a loan of $12,000.00 has been advanced
to the Sudbury Co-operative Creamery Co., Ltd., and also a loan of $8,000.00
to the Kenora Dairy Co-operative Association.

The repayment of loans has been very satisfactory, as is evidenced by the
fact that over 90 per cent, of the interest payments are up-to-date, and payments
of principal equal over 97 per cent.' of the amount due, this being partly duo
to the fact that a number of loans have been paid in advance.

I beg to direct your attention to the attached memorandum giving details oi
operation carried on, and it is a pleasure to be able to state that settlers who
have received loans through this Department have expressed their appreciation
of the help the loan has been, by enabling them to stay on their own lots, and
carry on the work of clearing land.

Yours very truly,

F. Dane,
Settlers' Loan Commissioner.-

The average daily force was: During April, 19; May, 406; June, 910; July.
962; August, 916; September, 600; October, 28. The total number of persons em-
ployed for at least a part of the season was 1,209 ; of these 240 resigned after a
time, and TO were dismissed for various reasons. Such a turnover, of 25 per cent,
in the field force in the short space of five months is detrimental to the organization.

(2) Expenditure.

The expenditure for the fiscal year was $506,107.71, classified as below, with
the figures for the preceding years given for comparison. As an offset to this,
protection accounts accruing for the year totalled approximately $240,000.00.

(3) Fires.

The outstanding features of forest administration in this Province as in all
Eastern Canada is the inability to control the losses from forest fires. The under-
taking is so large and its bearing so important that the other phases of adminis-
trative work are comparatively minor matters. The successful working out of
this problem will result in timber growth on the bulk of our cut-over lands. It
is true that this growth will often not be as satisfactory as we would like, but any
sort of a crop is better than barrens.

Up to the present a factor contributing largely to the difficulty of handling
the situation has been the impermanency of the organization. This matter was
referred to at length in last year's report. Since the close of this fire season

208

EEPOKT OF THE

Xo. 3

forest protection and the administration of timber matters have been consolidated
under thik Branch. This opens the way for organization of the field force on a
j)ermanent^basis, with all tJie ensuing benefits.

But theXcrux of the problem of forest fire control is the slash and debris
resulting from present logging methods. Year after jQar new large areas Oi.'
slash are allowed to be created; these are most inflammable, and make extremely
hot fires which are largely uncontrollable till they reach green timber. Eacli
succeeding season large sums of money are spent to handle this situation of our
own making. Until brush disposal is systematically undertaken as an integr:'.!
part of the operation of logging our forests will burn.

: Other Causes. — Neglected camp fires caused 151 fires, half as many as the
railways, or 11.7 per cent, of the total season's fires. The indifference and care-
lessness exhibited by tourists, picnickers, berrypickers, and other users of the
woods, as regards this matter is incredible except by those knowing the facts.
This attitude will continue until the Act provides a jail sentence for flagrant
instances.

Settlers were responsible for 11.0 per cent, of all fires; nearly one-third of
these were permit fires which were allowed to get beyond control.

The percentage of all fires due to carelessness of those engaged in lumlierihg
operations this year was 4.6; this is the highest within the last four years, ^lore
co-operation on the part of this industry might be expected during the peaks
of hazard.

Area Burned. — In all, 358,851 acres were reported burned over in 1920 as
'compared with 922,161 acres in 1919; 30,172 acres in 1918; and 384,164 acres
in 1917. This acreage was classified thus:

As shown in the table, the area of timber land burned over, fell this season
to 14.7 per cent, of the whole, the lowest figure yet. As in previous years, the
area lumbered over formed the setting for the bulk of the , fires, being 65.5 per
cent, of the total burned acreage. During the past four seasons nearly 1,000,000
acres (equal to 40 townships) of this type of land has been .burned ovpr (60 per
cent, of the total ar.ea) and the existing yOung trees mostly killed. When it is

Permits were issued in 123 townships this season, as compared with 13U
townships the previous year. In all, 6,154 permits to burn over 22,767 acres were
issued, as compared with 6,635 permits in 1919. The most of this Avork lies
in the Cochrane, Matheson and New Liskeard districts, the three together calling
for 97 per cent, of the whole number of permits issued.

The major equipment added this year included : 74 canoes, 50 tents, 6 port-
able fire fighting units, 28 railway velocipedes, 1 railway motor car, 2 sixteen-foot
power boats, 150 single blankets.

The usual fire posters were sent out.

(6) Railway Inspection Under B. R. C.

The same organization of the work of inspection of fire protective appliances
on locomotives was continued during 1920, two inspectors devoting all their time
to this.

Average cost per iaspection $1.86, as compared with $2.07 in 1919, and $2.59 in 1918.

The above table shows that the work of inspecting locomotives has l)eeu
gradually expanded each year. This year 1,288 inspections were made as com-
pared with 615, 920 and 1,012 inspections in 1917, 1918, 1919, respectively.
These inspections embraced 659 locomotives as compared with 531 and 571 in
1918 and 1919.

Furthermore, the cost of this work has been gradually reduced. Inspections
this year cost $1.86 per inspection, as compared with $2.59 in 1918 and $2.07
in 1919.

It is satisfactory to find that the percentage of inspections revealing defects
lv^>: s'cadily fallen. This year but 12.8 per cent, were defective as compared
with 28.3, 32.1 and 21.8 per cent, in the three preceding years. In keeping with
these results it is to be noted that the percentage of all fires attributed to railways
ha=; decreased regularly each year from 49.5 per cent, in 1917 to 23.9 per cent.
this year.

II. Forest Investigation.

This season the first work was done in connection with a definite plan of
forest reconnaissance of the Province.

This survey was of the usual nature of such work, detail being reduced in order
to give speed. Maps were prepared in the field delimiting cleared (farming)

214 ' EEPORT OF THE Xo. 3

land from barrens and forest. The forest area was differentiated into hardwood,
coniferous, and mixed types, with the poplar-birch type separated from the other
hardwoods. The first three types were classified as to condition, namely, moderately
culled, severely culled, second growth and young growth. The poplar-birch stands
were thrown into two groups on the basis of whether white pine reproduction was
in evidence or not.

On these maps showing forest types and conditions, there were also placed
roads, trails, abandoned roads, railway lines, existing telephone lines, watershed
boundaries, and good locations for lookout points for fire ranging use.

Along with this field mapping, information was compiled by townships, cover-
ing such points as present fire hazards, location and numbers of male help avail-
able for fire fighting, wood-using industries and mills in existence, nature and
extent of other industries such as farming, mining, game and fish, tourist traffic,
population, general suitability for agriculture, etc.

The method of work was by foot travel from a central camp with the distances
computed by pacing. Camp was moved every few days. This year but one party
of three men with cook was engaged in this survey from June to December. They
investigated the northern parts of the Counties of Hastings, Lennox & Addington,
Frontenac, and Lanark. In all, 1,720,000 acres were mapped at an average cost
of one-quarter of one cent per acre.

It is expected that by the end of next season all the country south of the
French Eiver and Lake Nipissing will have been done.

Tables showing the classification of the land area which was surveyed are
given below. In the case of the Townships of Cashel, Faraday, Herschel, Lake,
Limerick, Tudor, and Wollaston only those portions not tributary to Trent waters
were covered.

During the past season the distribution of nursery stock to private land-
owners throughout the Province was continued, 130,000 trees having been shipped.
The reforesting done on these areas at various points in the Province will eventually
show results. by way of demonstration. Many of these experimental plantations
are creating local interest in this work and we now have plantations in all of the
older counties of the Province. During the past season an officer of the Forestry
Branch has been inspecting the older plantations, and it is expected that a definite
system of inspection will be inaugurated. :'

Additional plantations were made at the local forest station in I^^Torfolk, the
chief material used this season being white pine. . We now have nearly 500 acres
of plantations at this station, and a detailed report of growth stucWes is being
prepared. The following is a summary of the rate of growth in Sme of the

Fundamental to all reforestation problems is the growing of adaptafble nursery
stock, and prior to nursery stock is the securing of suitable seed. It i^ generally
recognized by botanists as well as foresters that seed collected from plants in
one locality is best for sowing in that same locality. Consequently it has been
the policy of this Department, in so far as possible, to collect seed from our
native trees for planting in connection with its reforestation work.

It has been customary to collect in the neighbourhood of St. Williams, all
the seed^ necessary for growing hardwoods at the nurseries. The securing of

coniferous seed, however, has not been so easy, owing to the fact that some of
the required species do not grow in that part of the Province. Then, too, Scotch
pine, not being a native of this continent, most of this seed had to be imported.
But with the maturing of the Scotch pine plantations at St. Williams it will
soon be possible to gather there all the seed of that species which is required.

The season of 1930 was a good seed year throughout Ontario for the following
coniferous species which are needed for the work of this Department; white pine

224 REPORT OF THE Xo. 3

IV. Forest Pathology.

(Eeport of Dr. J. H. FauU for 1920.)

A greater part of the summer was spent in investigations on the diseases of
the timber trees of the Tei:^iagami Forest Reserve. In addition, a short time
was occupied with a study of certain hardwood diseases in Algonquin Park, the
effect of sulphur fumes in the Sudbury District, and the conditions of mine
timber decay and preservation in the Cobalt area. The work in the Temagami
Reserve was much facilitated through the many courtesies extended by the Chief
Ranger, ]%:tC. E. Hindspn.

AODrtlONAL N^OTES OX THE NeEULE BlIGHT OF THE WhITE PINE.

Alarming reports regarding the discolouration of the foliage of the white pine
Iiave been received by the Department in charge of the forests of Ontario at
intervals over a long period of years. The attention of the Department appears
to have been called to this matter for the first time in 1905, again in 1908, in
1912, in 1913, and in 1917. In response to a report from Mr. C. E. ITindson,
Chief Ranger of the Temagami Forest Reserve in August, 1912, to the effect that
" i\ large number of pine trees in the vicinity of Temagami Lake have turned
brown and appear to be dying " a scientific inquiry was promised. Specimens
of the injury were submitted to an Experiment Station botanist, but nothing
other was done than to venture a guess at the cause ; no attempt was made to study
the subject or to give any indication of the seriousness of the malady.

Following renewed calls for investigation the first observations were made
in the Temagami Forest Reserve in the summer of 1918, and they have been
continued during the summers of 1919 and 1920. It was soon ascertained that
the injury was not a winter killing of the foliage as had been claimed, for it
appeared rather suddenly on the new foliage in July, 1918, the whole forest in
affected areas becoming tinted as with autumnal colouration. The same phenomena
have 1)een manifest wherever this blight has shown itself during the succeeding
summers. The investigations of 1919 revealed the fact that the trouble lav in
the roots and that in consequence at the time of leafing when there was a sudden
demand for an increased supply of water to the crown, the damaged roots were
not aide to respond and so the tender new foliage succumbed to a greater or a
less extent.

From a practical point of view it has been important to determine whether
or not tlie disease is contagious and to what extent it reduces the yield of the
forest. Oliviously the answers to these questions must be taken into consideration
in formulatinpf a forestal policy with reference to any affected region. The first
prolilom has been decided by direct tests and observations in the negative; the
iniurv is phvsiological and not communicable. The second problem is one that
cpnnot be solved so quickly and for the reason that we do not yet know to what
extent bliffhtin?. is fatal; no one has followed the history of individual blighter!
free? in our forests to find out what becomes of them, whether thev recover or
die, how long the disease may persist or in case of recovery what loss of Avood
growth mav accrue. Such an inquiry demands an annual examination over a
=nppe=sion of years of a/large number of marked trees growing under avera-e
+vnical conditions. As a firit- step in the solution of the problem several h^ndrel
trees were marked in tlie Temagami Forest Reserve in the summers, of "1918 and

1919, and a few elsewhere. While the experiment is not yet complete an extensive
and valuable body of information is being accumulated and some important con-
clusions may be drawn from the data in hand.

White pine witli needle blight to right of centre; healthy white pine to left.

The blight was especially severe in 1918; there was a slight improvement in
1919 with few new cases; the improvement in 1920 was pronounced. Observations
to date show that trees up to six inches in diameter are likely to recover with
an amelioration of conditions; but the death rate in older trees is much higher,

recovery is not so certain, and is much longer delayed. The following figures
drawn from the experiment in the Temagami Forest Eeserve and corrected up
to September, 1920, are significant, though some of them are still to be analyzed
with respect to severity or lightness of attack, soil, exposure, etc.

(1) Out of 275 healthy trees of various sizes, noted in 1918 as controls,
only 2 are known to have since developed blight.

(2) Out of 320 trees of all ages on a given area (most of them considerably
under 6 inches in diameter, and all counted) 30" per cent, of the stand, or 96
trees showed blight in 1918 ; only 5l^ per cent, of the stand, or 15 trees continued
to show blight or had been killed by blight at the close of the summer of 1920.

(3) Out of 147 trees six inches in diameter or less (most of them from 2 to
6 inches) blighted in 1918, 8 or 51/^ per cent, of them were dead in 1920, 39
or 261/2 per cent, continued to show blight, and 100, or 68 per cent, had recovored.

An extreme stage of needle blight of white pine.

(4) Out of 211 trees more than six inches in diameter blighted in 1918, 33,
or 15% per cent, were dead in 1920, 156, or 76 per cent, continued to show blight
(though in nearly one-half of these with diminished intensity) and 22, or 101/^
per cent, had recovered.

As a check on temperature conditions a continuous tracing was made with
a recording thermometer at Bear Id., L. Temagami, a blight centre, from June
24th, 1920, to September 13th, 1920. The minimum temperature for that period
was 43 deg. F. on August 22nd, and the maximum 89 dew. F. on August 7th.

Eighty-seven deg. F. was recorded on June 26th, July 27th, and August 26tli.
Forty-eight deg. F. on July 1st was the lowest reading from June 24th to August
21st, inclusive. The records of the Federal Weather Bureau at Bear Id. shoAV
that the lowest temperature for June was 42 deg. F. on June 7th, and that the
last frost, 32 deg. F., was on May 19th. Evidently frost is not a factor affecting
pine blight.

The new needles were just beginning to emerge from the buds on June 21st;
there was no indication of blight in them until June 26th, from which date it

developed as the needles continued to elongate. That the blighting of 1920 was
neither as severe nor as typical as in 1918 and 1919 is in part due to the fact
that the comparatively high temperatures of June 25th and 26th were followed
by almost a month of cool weather with high atmospheric humidity, conditions
that enabled the developing needles to retain the otherwise insufficient amount
of water supplied by deficient root-systems.

(2) Winter Browning of Coniferous Foliage in 1920,

The spring of 1920 was marked by an especially severe browning of the
foliage of coniferous trees. No species escaped — white pine, red pine. Jack pine,
white spruce, black spruce, balsam, arbor vitae, though some fared worse than
others. Probably the arbor vitae and balsam sufi^ered most. A few trees were
killed outright and many others were so badly browned as to appear dead. Fre-
quently the twigs as well as the needles were killed and no doubt the dwarfed
branches on the exposed sides of trees in this northern region owe their deformation
in large part to repeated " winter-killing." There is no doubt likewise but that
^Svinter browning" and needle blight have been confused to some extent in
earlier reports on the Ontario forests.

"Winter-browning" affects most severely the needles of the last season (in
this instance, the growth of 1919), though the injury may extend to needles of all
ages. It also occurs almost exclusively on the side of the tree exposed to the south.
and especially on the lower part of the crown. Thus it is especially conspicuous
on the southern aspect of trees that line the northern shores of lakes or streams,
or cleared or barren areas, or the steep southern slopes of hills. Mostly it is only
those needles or parts of needles that are actually exposed to the southern sun
that discolour though, as already noted, the injury may involve the stems of
small branches as well as the needles.

"Winter-browning" is not due to frost, but to an excessive loss of moisture
from the foliage at a time when the ground is still frozen and the roots consequently
inactive. It takes place, for example, under the influence of bright sunshine
combined with an elevated temperature. The winter browning of 1920 is unques-
tionably referable to the unseasonably warm bright weather between March 22nd
and April 2nd up to within a few days of which the zero weather of the winter
had been practically continuous. The maximum temperature of 58 deg. F. was
recorded on March 23rd. The accompanying tracing is based on the temperature
records made by the Weather Bureau Station at Bear Id., L. Temagami.

(3) Some Diseases of Pulpvvood Trees of the Temagami Forest Reserve.

(n) " 7?ed Brandt" of Balsam.

Balsam is numerically the commonest of the economically important trees
of the Temajrami Forest Reserve. It grows abundantly everywhere, it grows
rapidly, and it commonly succeeds the more valuable pines as a replacement crop
in pure or mixerl stands. Unfortunately there is no species in the Reserve that
is so subject to disease — to such an extent, indeed, that merchantable balsam is
found in very limited quantities. Heart rot is the most serious malady to which
it is subject, serious from the standpoint of yield, and serious with respect to
the health of other associated coniferous tim1)er trees; it will be referred to again
in another connection. I wish especially to call attention here to two new or

228

EEPOET OF tup:

No. 3

1920-21 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FOEESTS. 329

imperfectly understood diseases of balsam, namely "red branch" and a twij,'
blight.

" Eed branch " of balsam has frequently been noticed by foresters and lumber-
men and various explanations have been offered in accounting for the phenomenon.
Dead, red-needled branches located here and there throughout a balsam tree are
conspicuous objects against the dark green setting of normal living foliage and
could not escape observation. One of the theories most frequently advanced in
explanation is snow pressure, the breaking or cracking of the bark at the base of
the branch due to the weight of accumulated snow.

Aside altogether from any discussion of the part played by snow pressure
elsewhere, an inviestigation of " red branch " of balsam in the Temagami Forest
Reserve has demonstrated that its most frequent cause in that area is not snow
pressure, but a combination of factors not before suggested, namely, insect-wound-
ing and frost.

An examination of the branch at the base of the dead portion almost invariably
shows a more or less extensive spot from which the bark has been removed, a
ragged-edged wound at once suggesting the gnawing of some small animal. This
spot is usually on the under side; it never extends more than ha^lf way around
the branch and usually much less, so that the branch is not girdled. It may
extend indefinitely towards the tip of the branch, commonly for not more than
half an inch, but sometimes for several inches. Occasionally the leader is des-
troyed in the same way as the branches.

The wound in itself is not sufficient to cause the death of the branch. This
was proved by similarly removing the bark with a knife from healthy branches
in July of 1919. The wounds healed before the end of the season, and they
showed no ill effects of their maltreatment throughout the summer of 1930. But
when the wounding takes place so late in the season that there is no time left for
covering the edges of the wounds with new tissues the result is different. Twenty-
five branches were wounded in the same manner in October, 1919. Withont
exception every one of these branches died from the point of wounding outward and
their foliage was red by the following May.

The cause of the wound is a large bark beetle, identified by Dr. J. M. Swaine
as Monochamus scutellatus. This beetle occurs abundantly in the Reserve on
jack pine, where it gnaws the bark in like manner, but either because of a thick
covering of resin or because the wounding is earlier in the season the branches
attacked are rarely killed.

A few instances of what appeared to be snow pressure came to hand, but in
such cases none of the bark had been destroyed. Likewise instances of removal
of the bark by rubbing, or of the pulling off of low-placed twigs on small branches
in the fall or winter followed by the death of the branches are not infrequent.
But the prevalent cause of the very common " red branch '* in the Temagami
Reserve is the combination of beetle-gnawing and frost, as described above.

(6) A Twig Blight of Balsam.

Especial attention is drawn to a twig blight of balsam that appears to have
been overlooked or to have been confused with the work of the spruce bud worm.
It is plainly not an insect injury though the exact cause is not yet known; au
investigation of it is being undertaken. The new growth only is affected, and the
injury may involve the entire twig, killing the bud as well as the needles; or
the bud may escape, ])ut all or only a few of the needles here and there may

succumb. The killed needles at first turn pale, but later they die, turn brown
and curl away from their normal orientation on the branch, continuing, however,
to adhere throughout the season and usually for the following year or longer.
The new growth throughout the entire tree is commonly more or less involved.
In some places the balsam is extensively affected, giving to the forest a browned
and ragged effect. I very much question the possibility of distinguishing this
blight from the work of the spruce bud worm except at close range — certainly
not from a moving railway car or airplane; it merits further attention.

(c) Canker of Poplar (Aspen).

The aspen is subject to many diseases, some of which may be so serious as to
render large stands practically worthless. Three of these are common in the
Temagami district — a leaf spot, ivhite heart rot and cariker; the last is perhaps
the most destructive though all three must be counted with in estimating the
probable yield of a stand. The aspen canker is apparently due to a parasitic
agent, possibly bacterial. Trunks of all sizes, branches and even small twigs are
liable to attack, and there a,re indications that once established the infection may
extend within the trunk from the point of the primary canker upwards and
downwards giving rise to secondary cankers at other points. Infection is especially
likely to occur at the bases of branches. The cankers are small at the outset, but
the parasite extends the area by repeatedly breaking through zones of the surround-
ing bark and wound callus; the result is that eventually large open cankers up to a
foot or more in length may be formed. This canker disease is under investigation.

(4) Heart Eots of Coniferous Timber Trees ix the Temagami Forest
Eeserve — A Preliminary Note.

Preliminary investigations have been undertaken on the heart and butt rots
of pines and other coniferous timbers in the Temagami Forest Eeserve. It is
well known that these rots are due to parasitic fungi, but as yet little is known
with regard to their rate of growth, the conditions that favour infection, etc.
Even the identity of some of them has not yet been determined by forest path-
ologists ; already in our preliminary studies in Temagami at least one new form,
heretofore not described, has come to light. From a practical viewpoint, investiga-
tions on the heart rots in this area are desirable for additional reasons, as follows :

1. This area is largely covered with virgin forest, much of which is falling
a prey to heart rot. These appear at the present time to offer the most serious
problem in formulating a policy with regard to the future of the Eeserve. As
most coniferous trees approach maturity they become increasingly susceptible to
butt .and other heart rots ; a stage of maximum yield is reached after which the
deterioration of the forest is greater than the annual accretion, and this deteriora-
tion is accelerated with increasing age. There are indications that such a stage
has been reached in considerable areas of Temagami, and these should be carefully
examined.

2. The balsam of the Temagami Eeserve is especially susceptible to butt rots,
to such an extent that little of it attains merchantable size. A very high per-
centage of the balsam of all ages is affected, probably not less than 75 per cent.
The most serious features in this connection relate (a) to the balsam as a breeding
ground for heart rot fungi that attack maturing pine and spruce ; in some places

233

REPOBT OF THE

tlic mature pine, spruce and cedar are already largely destroyed; (b) to the open-
ing up of spots in the forest through the falling of diseased balsam, etc., which
give free sweep to the wind, resulting in great losses of healthy timber from
windfall; (c) to the littering of the floor of the forest with fallen highly com-
bustible materials which serve as fire traps. Estimates of windfall timber in the

Reserve run up to many millions of feet. Trees in advanced stages of butt rot
fall over of their own weight or are easily blown over; in many places, especially
where balsam predominates, there is an extensive acreage of this type. It would
seem highly important that attention should be drawn to the conditions resulting
from diseased balsam so prevalent in the Temagami area.

County of Kent, on Lake Erie, with Eondeau Bay or Harbour lying in between it
and the mainland, is an ideal summer resort.

Area.

The Park covers an area of some 5,000 acres and is about eight miles in length.
Its greatest asset is its timber, as it i"s densely wooded with all kinds of valuable
irees, there being seven varieties of the oak family alone. There is also considerable
pine, walnut, white wood and all other varieties of hard wood found in Western
Ontario. Since it is the largest forest of its kind in Western Ontario it is a source
of education and enjoyment to a great many visitors.

EOADS.

We have two miles of well-built roadway, which has been clayed, then gravelled,
^nd this has made a very satisfactory road. There are also eight miles of roads
which are merely trails, which we try to keep in shape, but owing to the light,
sandy soil it is not easy travelling for the motor cars, of which there are a great
number, especially in the summer season. Eoad building is greatly handicapped
liere because of the distance both clay and gravel has to be drawn.

Fish and Game.

There are about 400 deer at large in the Park. Eight are kept in an enclosure.
Next year they should be thinned out as they are so plentiful they are very injurious
to the young growth of trees, since they brouse principally on new sprouts, etc.
l\"e have a colony of beaver which have thrived very well; some have gone to other
parts of the county, one colony especially being reported in the vicinity of Clearville,
"where dams have been built and a regular home established. There are also black
squirrels, raccoons, and great areas of muskrat grounds. Eondeau Harbour is
■especially noted for its wild duck, and its good fishing ground, such fish as pike,
big-mouthed, black and green bass, and once in a while a muskalonge being caught.
Many of our American friends come year after year to indulge in the sport of
angling. There are great carp grounds in the bay, as many as 100 boxes having
been lifted at one catch.

There are three fishery companies operating on the Lake Erie side of Eondeau
Park, it being said to be one of the best fishing grounds in the Dominion.

Natural Bird Sanctuary.

Eondeau Park with its dense forest is a real paradise for birds, almost all
varieties being found here. We are interested in the raising of wild geese, of wlijch
-we have a flock of about 40, also wild turkev and wild mallard duck.

1920-21 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FOEESTS. 237

Our aviary contains about 100 pheasants, the different varieties being the
Keeves, Amherst, Golden, Silver and English Eingneck, there being an especially
large stock of the last mentioned ; a large number of these birds have been liberated
in the Park and have gone out into the outlying districts. Eeports say they are
doing well.

Park Woek.

This last year dead and down timber to the amount. of 70,000 feet has been
taken out and by use of a portable mill the timber was sawn into lumber, which
is now seasoning and will be ready for repairing and building for the next year.

Our dock is very badly in need of repair and I trust next year it will be
repaired if possible or replaced witli a new one.

Staff.

Our staif consists of the Superintendent, a gamekeeper and an assistant. The
Avork is very heavy in the spring as all the picnic grounds have to be raked and
cleaned, which takes about four weeks, and during the picnic season it takes a half
of each day to clean up and keep things in order. We can keep a man busy with
the mower and team during early summer as we try to keep about 100 acres
mowed and in good shape. The split log drag has to be used during most of the
year on the roads to keep them in shape. After the summer season the team is
busy hauling gravel and repairing the roads. Through the early summer the game-
keeper's time is taken with the hatching and rearing of pheasants, along with his
usual duties, of course. Full details of the general work can hardly be given as
each day brings its own work of various kinds.

Cottages.

There are 35 cottages in the Park, some being on the Eau side and others on
the Lake, and 18 parties have applied for leases this year with the intention of
building next year. There is one restaurant which has been leased by the year,
handling groceries, ice cream, etc. The Lidependent Order of Daughters of the
Empire of Eidgetown were given permission to use the old pavilion for dances
once a week, which were very popular, the society clearing $500.00 during the
season. I think next year it would be advisable to make some improvements on the
building and manage it ourselves.

Accommodation Requirements.

The automobile traffic in summer is enormous, coming from far and near; an
ordinary Sunday there are often as many as 500 cars coming and going. The day
of the Howard Councillors and U.F.G. picnic we made an estimate of about 12,500
visitors. A hotel is very much in demand as we have no accommodation for the
ever-increasing number of people who desire to come for their summer vacation,
etc. I am continually receiving inquiries from people at a distance who have heard
of Rondeau Park, asking if they can secure accommodation.

Beach Advantages.

Our bathing beach is admitted to be one of the best, there being no banks. or
stones, etc., and the bay being three and one-half miles across at the widest part
and seven miles long, it is excellent for boating. There could be no more ideal
place for making golf links than we have on the lower end of the Park.

Yours very truly,

George Goldw^orthy,
Superintendent Rondeau Provincial Park.

Report of the Minister of Lands and Forests
of the Province of Ontario

For the Year Ending 31st October, 1921.

To His Honour the Lieutenant-Governor of the Province of Ontario.
May it Please Your Honour:

I have the honour, in conformity with the provisions of the Public Lands
Act respecting the proceedings and transactions of the Department of Lands
and Forests, to submit for the information of Your Honour and the Legislative
Assembly, a report for the fiscal year ending the 31st day of October, 1921,
covering the management and operations of the Department in its various
branches.

The fiscal year ending 31st October, 1921, may well be regarded as the most
successful in the history of the Province so far as the Department of Lands
and Forests is concerned, from the viewpoint of movements in land transactions
(when the war conditions and the reconstructive period subsequent thereto are
considered) and in timber operations and of revenue results.

Lands.

While the year 1919-20, the second year after the war, indicated a tendency
towards a return to normal in the acquiring of lands for settlement, the past
year shows a considerable increase over that of 1920, both as respects the
numbers taking up Free Grant lands and those purchasing farming locations
under settlement regulations. There has been an appreciable influx of settlers
to the great Clay Belt of Northern Ontario, particularly that section traversed
by the National Transcontinental Railway, and they are of such a class that
will in all probability succeed in pioneer work. The prospects of a development
at Kapuskasing, following the Spruce Falls Company acquiring the timber
limit there, gave an added impetus to the demand for settlers' locations, and
again it is more or less axiomatic that during any stage of labor depression,
with its resultant lack of employment, an eagerness is manifested amongst a
certain class to secure Crown land under the reasonable terms held out.

The revenue derived from the sale and lease of lands and rentals of water
powers reached over $215,000.00, the largest in the experience of the Department
within the last 20 years, except for the year 1912 (when two townships, Haggart
and Kendry, were sold holus bolus for approximately $100,000.00 to a Coloniza-
tion Company, the cancellation of whose agreement the Crown is now con-
templating), and with the exception of a few years, the largest since Con-
federation.

Systematic inspections as time and staff afforded were regularly made
towards checking up delinquent settlers, and as a result of such inspections

[5]

REPORT OF THE No. 3

a goodly number of claims were cancelled. Over 800 settlers who proved up
acquired their patents.

Particulars in respect of land transactions are hereafter detailed.

Clergy Lands.

There were sold and leased of the Clergy lands during the year 12| acres
for $31.25, and the collections on account of these and former sales of such lands
amounted to $612.90. (See Appendix No. 3, page 23).

Common School Lands.

Of these lands, the collections during the year from sales and leases amounted
to $3,447.80, but there were no sales. (See Appendix No. 3, page 23.)

Grammar School Lands.

The area of these lands sold during the year was 57^ acres for $28.75.
The collections on account of these and former sales amounted to $529.84.
(See Appendix No. 3, page 23.)

University Lands.

The number of acres of these lands Ec'd and leased during the year were
836.38 for $418.25. The amount collected on account of these and former
sales was $1,917.67. (See Appendix No. 3, page 23.)

Crown Lands.

The total area of these lands sold for agricultural and townsite purposes
during the year was 139,026.86 acres for $143,059.02. The collections on
account of these as well as former sales amounted to $135,862.27. This shows
a marked increase in the sale of lands as compared with former years. For
instance, in 1920 the number of acres sold amounted to 72,500. The collections
from sales show an increase of over 50 per cent.

The total area leased was 20,524.85 acres for $2,286.50. The collections
from these sales and leases amounted to $56,588.93. From this it will be seen
that the area leased is double that of the previous year.

There were 21 acres leased in the Timagami Reserve and collections of
previous sales amounted to $900.50. (See Appendix No. 3, page 23.)

Settlers on Purchased Lands.

As shown in the preceding paragraphs, there has been an increased demand
for this class of land and from the inquiries received indications are that this
influx will continue. Land in the agencies of Englehart, Matheson, Cochrane
and Hearst is being largely acquired by actual and bona fide tillers of the soil.

The actual number of purchasers was 736, while permission was granted
to 314 to assign their interests covering an area of 44,637 acres, which were tak-
en up by other settlers. The purchase price in full was paid in all these cases.

There were 398 sales cancelled, as the purchasers had failed to comply
with the regulations as regards actual settlement, and these lands were again
placed in the market to be acquired by actual settlers.

During the year the settlement duties were completed by 307 settlers and
they were granted patents for their land.

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 1

A large number of returned soldiers from the war were granted areas of
160 acres free during the year, the total number being 257. (F'or details see
Appendix No. 13, page 40.)

Free Grants.

A continued desire of settlers to take land for Free Grant homesteading
has resulted in another increase over former years, 868 parties being located
for free grant lands. More productive farming of somewhat smaller areas,
and more care in the selection of land suitable for that purpose, is shown by
the fact that the average individual farm has decreased from 166 acres to 136
acres, the total area located being 118,637 acres.

The number of settlers who completed their requirements of clearing and
actual residence has also increased to the number of 500, while 132 locatees
availed themselves of the statutory privilege to purchase additional land and
10,202 acres were purchased in that way. This is an increase of over 4,000
acres from last year. (See Appendix No. 13, page 40.)

Ranching.

There is a growing demand for land for ranching and pasture purposes as a
result of the policy adopted by the Department, of leasing these lands at five
cents per acre per annum, easy conditions as to stocking. Farmers who have
their farms practically all under grain crops are acquiring additional areas and
enlarging their activities to that of sheep and cattle raising. Rough areas of
land more adapted for ranching or pasture have been largely taken up for this
purpose, and during the year eight licenses of occupation have been issued,
covering an area of 10,435 acres.

Several inquiries have been received for marsh or low lying lands for the
purpose of raising muskrats and other fur-bearing animals, which promises to
be an industry which may make valuable, lands that at the present time have
practically no market value.

Military Grants.

Under the Act 1, Edward VII, Cap. 6, and amendments thereto, there
have been issued 13,998 certificates and although the time for receiving applica-
tions for these grants expired on the 30th September, 1908, there are still letters
being received from men or their next of kin, who were entitled to this grant,
who claim that they have only now become aware of the fact. These applica-
tions, therefore, could not now be accepted and no forms of applications have
been sent out.

During the past year there have been located 27 of these certificates covering
4,360 acres in the townships open for veterans, making in all a total of 8,391
certificates thus located.

In two cases the certificates have been surrendered and applied in payment
of lands purchased from the Crown, covering in all 160 acres, making a total
of 800 that have thus been applied.

There were two certificates surrendered to the Crown for the $50.00 com-
mutation money, making a total of 3,266 certificates surrendered in this manner.

During the year there have been issued 48 patents for lands located by
veterans, and in all, 7,488 have thus been disposed of.

REPORT OF THE No. 3

The total number of certificates that have therefore beenTdisposed of is
12,505, leaving 1,493 that are still outstanding.

During the year 10 veteran locations, covering 1,590 acres, were cancelled
for the non-performance of the settlement duties to which they became subject
on account of being assigned before patent issued. (See Appendix No. 11,
page 38.)

Collections.

The total revenue, the largest ever received, from all sources was
$4,035,747.94, or over one million dollars more than the preceding year. The
sale of agricultural lands and townsites, with Grown leases, including Provincial
Parks, provided $217,151.76; Fees $2,020.63; Refund items $53,135.07. From
Woods and Forests the revenue was $3,763,440.48, classified as follows: Bonus
$1,555,770.69; Timber Dues $1,921,356.95; Ground Rent $99,245.12; Transfer
Fees $5,810.00; Fire Protection $181,257.72. (See Appendix No. 4, page 24.)

Disbursements.

The total expenditure, less Givil Government, of the Department for all
services (exclusive of those rendered under the Northern and North-Western
Ontario Development Acts, for which see Appendices Nos. 45, 46 and 47),
was $2,029,453.27. Some of the more important items were: Crown Land
Agents' Salaries and Disbursements, $20,717.00; Homestead Inspectors,
$25,556.58; Grown Timber Agents, $35,860.70; Fire Ranging, $547,474.47;
Forest Ranging and Measurement of Timber, $339,428.11; Reforestation,
$83,372.63; Algonquin Provincial Park, $40,705.81; Quetico Provincial Park,
$13,606.37; Rondeau Provincial Park, $15,295.90; Surveys, $145,169.99;
Colonization Roads, $506,180.80; Commissions re Sundry Investigations,
$63,781.05; Special Warrants, $58,178.77; Special Survey, Ontario and Manitoba
Boundary, $12,500.00; Clearing Fire Hazards and Kapuskasing Lands, $14,786.81.
(Additional details are found in Appendix No. 6.)

Woods and Forests.

Timber Returns. — Revenue accruels from timber transactions amounted
to $3,698,267.73, the largest in the history of the Province, as against
$3,120,808.41 for last year, and indicate the extent to which operations were
conducted during the fall of 1920 and the winter of 1921. The Department
succeeded in collecting some $65,000 more than the ordinary accrued revenue,
a follow-up system having been introduced along with the practice of continuing
to insist upon payment where such would not tend to cripple an industry and
the Crown was amply protected by cash deposits and guarantee bonds.

An important factor in the increased revenue was the raise in the timber
dues made by the present government in April, 1920. Pine dues were raised
to $2.50 per M. feet B.M.; Spruce Pulpwood to 80 cents a cord, and other
Pulpwoods to 40 cents a cord, while increases in respect of other classes of timber
and wood were made all along the line.

The Timber Revenue collected totalled $3,763,440.48, an increase over
1920 of $1,106,809.97.

During the past season 336,957,487 feet B.M. of sawlog, boom and square
pine timber was cut, or an increase of 24 million feet over the previous year's
cutting. Saw log timber, other than pine, was cut to the extent of 66,811,220
feet B.M., as against 52,729,965 feet B.M. for the season of 1919-20, or an

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 9

increase of over 14,000,000 feet B.M. Boom and dimension timber, other than
pine, cut totalled 3,581,015 feet B.M. Square timber amounted to 83,066
cubic feet, while piling accounted for 48,187 lineal feet and 438,412 feet B.M.

The cut of pulpwood on Crown lands reached the unprecedented figure of
928,185 cords, or over three times the quantity taken out the previous season.

The same activity in tie production did not continue throughout the year
as in the two years immediately preceding, as only 4,001,471 ties were returned;
the heavy stocks the railways had carried over from their former contracts
and the diminution in railway construction lessened the demand. (See Appendix
No. 7, page 34.)

Lumber Industry. — The general depression existing throughout the
country has had a serious efifect upon the lumber market, which has not a very
bright outlook for the coming year. Although I understand from certain
dealers the situation is somewhat improving, there is a pessimistic tone found
particularly amongst the small operators, and this will materially affect their
bush business this coming year. A number of the small operators with heavy
unsold stocks on hand, hesitate to put organizations in the woods because
of the uncertain prospects and but few of the large firms are undertaking to
conduct operations to the peak of the past year. While labour during 1920-21
was considerably high and cost of production proportionately so, the outlook
for next season points to lower wages and a consequent reduction in overhead
expenses. Because of cheaper and more efficient labour, larger operators are
prepared to take their chances on an improvement in an unstable market.

Pulpwood. — The upward trend of pulpwood induced by the constant
and sustained market during the war, continued throughout 1919, and resulted
in unprecedented operations in the bush, there being no less than 928,185 cords,-
as above stated, cut from Crown lands during the fiscal year ending the 31st
October, 1921, or 621,489 cords in excess of that taken the previous year.

A decided lull in the pulpwood business, however, set in before the large
stock could be marketed, and the industry has been most adversely affected;
the outlook at present for an early return to conditions approaching those af
a few years ago are not the brightest.

The general declining market for Ontario pulp in the United States has
been accentuated by the European importations, particularly from Germany
and Scandinavian countries, the rate of exchange working to the serious dis-
advantage of American producers in Ontario. The restrictions thus imposed
upon our pulp and paper are for the time keenly felt. The Kapuskasing limit
is not being worked this year owing to the market conditions, and while during
the season of 1920 the English River Concession was sold, and Nipigon, Naga-
gami and Long Lake were disposed of during the past year, there is apparently
no prospect of an immediate development. Efforts, I understand, are being
made towards bringing about legislation in the United States for a correction
in the tariff laws to stablilize exchange and any measure leading to this end
would benefit the producers and proportionately enhance the demand. With
a gradual consumption of the somewhat abnormal stocks of pulp and paper
now held will come, it is hoped, a further call for the raw material and then
there will be a resumption of the industry and trade.

Pulpwood agreements, covering important areas, to the number of four,
were entered into, as follows:

English River, District of Kenora, 3,046 square miles. (See Appendices
Nos. 49 and 50.)

10 REPORT OF THE No. 3

Nagagami Pulp and Timber Limit, District of Algoma, 2,300 square
miles. (See Appendix No. 52.)

Long Lake Limit, District of Thunder Bay, 3,400 square miles. (See
Appendix No. 53.)

NiPiGON Pulp and Pine Limit, District of Thunder Bay, 1,240 square
miles. (See Appendix No. 51.)

It is considered desirab e and advisable to furnish for public reference a
regular list of timber berths sold each year, and while I intimated in last year's
report such a list was being prepared for the present report, I have decided
to collate such data under a separate publication as may be necessary to cover
the timber sales and pulp concessions effected not only since the change of
Government in 1919, but for a reasonable period prior to that. Dating from
such separate publication, the timber sales should appear annually in the
Minister's Report.

Lands under License.

The area under license at the close of the fiscal year 31st October, 1921,
was 19,855^ square miles, on which a ground rent of $5.00 per square mile is
charged. This was an increase of 4,960^ square miles over the previous year.

Cullers' Examination.

Two examinations were held during the year, one at Callander and one at
Kenora, on the 28th day of September, 1921.

Seven candidates successfully passed the examination and were duly
granted certificates authorizing them to act as Cullers.

(For names of Cullers who passed at these examinations, see Appendix
No. 10, page 38.)

(For complete list of Licensed Cullers, see Minister's Reports for 1917,
1918, 1919 and 1920.)

Timber Commission.

The Special Commission consisting of Justices W. R. Riddell and F. R.
Latchford, appointed in March, 1920, to inquire into the management and dis-
position of the timber resources of the Province, has not yet submitted its main
report, though it did hand down certain interim reports. The complete report,
when made will no doubt, be duly printed. In the meantime references to
its work and results are unnecessary.

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 11

Crown Surveys.

During the year surveys carried on in the northern part of the Province
consisted of the running and posting of several base and meridian lines, town-
ship outlines, lake and river traverse, including the survey of islands therein.

The Inter-Provincial Boundary between the Provinces of Ontario and
Manitoba north from the Winnipeg River, has also been defined on the ground
for a distance of 70 miles.

Government Town Plot surveys have been made at Kapuskasing, in the
District of Timiskaming, and at Hearst, in the District of Algoma, and Govern-
ment Park Lots surveyed at Bala in the District of Muskoka.

Approval has been given to private town plot subdivisions on lands patented
since 1910 pursuant to R.S.O. 1914, chapter 34, as follows:

Town Plot of Calvert, in the Township of Calvert, District of Timiskaming.

Town Plot of Capreol Addition, in the Township of Norman, District of
Sudbury.

Kirkland Lake Extension, in the Township of Teck, District of Timiskaming.

Swastika Addition, in the Township of Teck, District of Timiskaming.

Moonbeam, in the Township of Fauquier, District of Timiskaming.

Municipal Surveys.

Pursuant to sections 15, 16 and 17 of the Surveys Act, petitions for re-
surveys of original road allowances have been received from the Corporations
of the Municipalities of:

City of Toronto,

Township of Hinchinbrooke,

Township of Maidstone,

Township of Sandwich East,

Township of Anderson,
and the necessary instructions have been given for the required surveys.

The municipal surveys which were being performed under instructions
of prior date and which were confirmed during the year were those on petition
from:

(a) Township of Beverley.

(b) Township of Gloucester.

Detailed descriptions and reports of the several surveys made will be
found in Appendices 19 to 40, inclusive.

Parks.

The Department, for the first time in its history, installed an exhibit at
the Canadian National Exhibition, Toronto, of the Forests and Wild Life
from its National Forest Reserves and wild life sanctuaries, Algonquin,
Quetico and Rondeau Parks.

A picturesque log cabin representing the forest ranger's home, snugly set
against a background of spruce, pine, balsam and birch trees, with wild animals
and feathered creatures in the foreground proved attractive.

Included in the many and distinguished visitors who viewed the exhibit
was the Governor-General, who expressed himself thus: "This is a revelation
and an education to me. To see a section of our northland hastily bundled

together in quaint frontier disorder, with the aroma of the forest still clinging
about it, brought down and planted on the doorstep of Toronto, affording the
public an opportunity to catch a breath of the pine, the spruce and the balsam.
It is wonderful."

Dr. Powell said: "Why do the teachers neglect this exhibit? Here the
children can receive object lessons in one visit, which are a hundred times more
impressive, more lasting and more interesting than can be derived from books
in six months' study."

Part of the exhibit were live bears and beavers, a family of Canada red
deer, fisher, porcupine, foxes and raccoons, together with silver and golden
pheasants, Lady Amhersts, Reeves and English pheasants. There were trees
of twenty inches in diameter cut down by the industrious beaver; traps used
only in Algonquin Park for capturing wild animals alive without injury; great
grey timber wolf skins; Indian guides making birch-bark canoes and a squaw
lacing snow-shoes. Cones and pine needles were used to typify the floor of
the forest.

The whole exhibit proved interesting and educative and should be repro-
duced annually along improved lines to impress visitors from all parts of the
world and our own people with the wealth of our natural rresources.

(For the reports on the parks by the Superintendents, see Appendices
41, 42 and 43.)

Colonization Roads.

The sum of $506,180.80 was spent on this service, of which $420,467.53
was spent in organized municipalities, the balance being devoted to unorganized
municipalities. The class of work covered the construction and repair of roads,
and bridges, and the purchase of road machinery. The Branch carried on the
work of inspecting and surveying new road sites and of mapping old roads
down, the importance of which work has been minimized in the past. It is
proposed to continue the surveying and mapping of roads that adequate records
may be had of the roads built and reliable data as to the roads which the Branch
contemplates constructing.

For details of the work carried on and expenditures made, see Appendix
No. 44, page 129.)

Northern Development Branch.

The expenditures carried on by this Branch under statutory authority
of the Northern and North-western Ontario Development Act totalled
$1,612,522.37, of which over 85 per cent, was spent in the making of roads and
bridges. The balance was used to carry on the advancement of s'^ttlement and
colonization, under which assistance to settlers was granted in the way of
purchasing hay, oats, seed grain and cattle. Creameries were assisted and
advances or loans made to settlers through the Settlers' Loan Commissioner.

(For detailed information in connection with the work done see Appendices
Nos. 45 and 46, pages 152 — 203 inclusive.)

(For full information in connection with the Settlers' Loan Accounts,
see Appendix No. 47, page 204.)

14 REPORT OF THE No. 3

FORESTRY BRANCH.
Fire Protection.

This past season forest fire protection was made very difficult owing to the
lack of snow during the winter and the extremely dry weather prevailing in
most parts of the Province during the summer. The small amount of snow
during the winter disappeared very early in the spring. In many districts very
little rain fell until August, and in some districts late in September. It is
interesting to note that fires of railway origin are rapidly decreasing. The
following table shows the percentage of fires of railway origin:

In 1917 49.5 per cent.

In 1918 46.5 per cent.

In 1919 37.0 per cent.

In 1920 23.9 per cent.

In 1921 14.8 per cent.

It is felt that the improvement in connection with fires of railway origin
is largely due to the increased protective methods applied along railway lines
and largely to the increased efficiency of locomotive inspection work. During
the past season 1,526 round-house inspections were made, showing a decrease
in the number of defective locomotives over past years. In 1918 there were
32 per cent, of the locomotives defective; in 1921 only 8.3 per cent, were found
defective.

As usual a large percentage of the area burned over by fires during the
past season occurred on cut-over lands. As might be expected, these cut-over
areas, with the resultant slash, are very difficult to protect.

During the past season 5,966 permits were issued for the burning of slash,
which covered 23,678 acres.

The most important additions to equipment during the past season was the
securing of additional portable fire fighting pumps. These pumps are supplied
with 500 to 1,000 feet of hose and have more than saved their cost in saving
wood products in connection with fire protection.

Forest Investigation.

During the past season the Forestry Branch has completed a survey of
the southern portion of the fire district commonly known as the Huron-Ottawa
region. From this survey working plan and maps are being prepared in con-
nection with forest protection and reforestation on the old cut-over areas of
this region.

Reforestation.

The outstanding feature of the work in reforestation during the past season
has been enlargement of the Provincial Forest Station in Norfolk County.
At this station large quantities of coniferous seeds were sown during the past
spring, and a very fine stand of one year old seedlings has been obtained.

The nurseries at present have a total of some nine million plants, which
should insure at least seven or eight million plants ready for final planting.

An enlarged water system has been installed with a 20,000 gallon tank,
which, it is expected, will meet the requirements of the new nursery development.

The distribution of trees to private applicants was increased over the
previous year. 291,769 plants were distributed for demonstration plantings
by private owners.

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 15

In addition to experimental planting made at the forest station in Norfolk
County, a new sub-station was opened in Prince Edward County, where some
150 acres were planted on the sand dune formations near West Lake,

The collection of tree seeds has been greatly enlarged and during the past
season a fine quantity of native Norway or Red Pine was secured. The Red
or Norway Pine is well suited for the planting of sandy waste lands of the
Province, and we desire large quantities of nursery stock of this species.

Tree Disease.

The investigation of tree diseases was again carried on by the Forestry
Branch in the Timagami Forest Reserve region. (Details of this work will be
found in the Forestry Branch Report, Appendix No. 48.) It would appear
that the insect and other organic enemies of our forest trees will soon prove as
serious a menace as forest fires. It is hoped that some adequate solution of
this problem may be found.

Officers Superannuated.

(1) J. H. Bradshaw, Clerk in Colonization Roads Branch, appointed
June 10th, 1884, and superannuated January 1st, 1921.

(2) J. B. Cook, Clerk in the Woods and Forests Branch, appointed August
7th, 1894, and superannuated January 1st, 1921.

(3) Major J. A. G. Crozier, Advisory Clerk Chief, Woods and Forests
Branch, appointed December 1st, 1867, and superannuated January 1st, 1921.

(4) W. F. Lewis, Clerk in the Surveys Branch, appointed March 1st,
1872, superannuated January 1st, 1921.

(5) W. Carrell, Engrossing Clerk, Lands Branch, appointed December 18th,
1899, superannuated May 1st, 1921.

(6) H. E. Johnston, Chief Clerk, Military Branch, appointed March 25th,
1905, and superannuated May 1st, 1921.

(7) C. S. Jones, Clerk of Patents, appointed May 22nd, 1896, and super-
annuated July 1st, 1921.

(8) D. G. Ross, Accountant, appointed April 15th, 1861, and superannuated
June 1st, 1921.

(9) R. H. Hodgson, Clerk in Woods and Forests Branch, appointed October
15th, 1903, and superannuated October 31st, 1921.

(10) J. J. Murphy, Advisory Chief Clerk, Lands Branch, appointed May
1st, 1872, and superannuated October 31st, 1921.

Of the above, it is observed that Messrs. Ross, Crozier, Lewis and Murphy
each served a half century or more in the service of the Crown, Mr. Ross having
been appointed prior to Confederation Major Crozier having entered the
Provincial service in Confederation year, and Mr. Lewis and Mr. Murphy in the
early part of 1872.

These officials faithfully served the Crown's interests .aH these years and
ably assisted the various administrations in the numejrmis projects towards the
development of the Crown Lands, and were responsible in no small measure
for the important statutes and regulations governing the disposition of Ontario's
natural resources. While their severance from the Department is keenly felt.

16

REPORT OF THE

No. 3

there is a satisfaction that they take their departure in the knowledge of duty-
well done. It is a pleasure to record that each of these officials under the Super-
annuation Act is provided with an annuity to assist in declining years and to
partially compensate for the untiring efforts devoted to the interests of the
Crown.

Department of Lands and Forests, Minister.

Appendix No. 15.

Honourable Beniah Bowman,

Minister of Lands and Forests,

Report on Crown Surveys.

Sir, — The nature and extent of the surveys carried on during the past
year under instructions from this Department may be briefly described as
follows :

Base and Meridian Lines.

Phillips and Benner, Ontario Land Surveyors, of Port Arthur, and K. G.
Ross, Ontario Land Surveyor, of Sault Ste. Marie, were charged with the
running of certain base and meridian lines in the territory lying west of the
Nepigon Forest Reserve, District of Thunder Bay. The extent of this work
is approximately 200 miles, and the reports will disclose the physical features
of the large unexplored area to the east of the Lake Superior Branch and south
of the Transcontinental line of the Canadian National Railway. A meridian
line is run through this territory along or near to the divide between Lake
Nepigon and Sturgeon Lake waters and intersects the Canadian National
Railway near Allanwater.

Ontario Land Surveyors Sutcliffe and Neelands were instructed to perform
a survey of a similar nature in the District of Timiskaming lying between the
Abitibi and Mattagami Rivers and north of Niven's base line, in latitude 49
degrees, 35 minutes, 30 seconds north. The extent of this work was over 100
miles, and within this area is included the Great Falls on both rivers mentioned.
Owing to the early extension of the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway
north from Cochrane, the blocking out of this area will be of great advantage
in locating the railway line, also timber and land areas therein.

Township Boundaries.

The blocking out of townships was continued in the Districts of Sudbury
and Algoma in the country lying between the Canadian Pacific Railway and
the Canadian Northern line of the Canadian National Railways, the extent
of lines being approximately 525 miles.

H. J. Beatty, Ontario Land Surveyor, established the boundaries of several
nine-mile townships in the country east of the Algoma Central and Hudson
Bay Railway and north of Missinaibi Lake, in the District of Algoma.

J. W. Fitzgerald, Ontario Land Surveyor, and Speight & Van Nostrand,
Ontario Land Surveyors, completed the blocking out of the six-mile townships
in the north-west part of the District of Sudbury.

C. V. Gallagher, Ontario Land Surveyor, and McAuslan and Anderson,
Ontario Land Surveyors, were engaged in similar work north of the Canadian
Pacific Railway between Spanish Forks and Woman River Stations.

Interprovincial Boundary Between Ontario and Manitoba.

Owing to the prospecting and mining activity in the district north of the
Winnipeg River, in the Province of Manitoba, and that mining claims might
be staked over the interprovincial boundary line at any time, in order to prevent

54 REPORT OF THE No. 3

possible complications it seemed advisable to provide for an early defining of
the said line north from where it was terminated by the survey in 1898 at
the Winnipeg River.

An Act of Parliament of Canada assented to 1st April, 1912, describes
the first stretch of this interprovincial boundary as follows:

"Commencing at the most northerly point of the westerly boundary of
the Province of Ontario as determined by "The Canada (Ontario Boundary)
Act 1889; thence due north along the same meridian to the intersection
thereof with the centre of the road allowance on the 12th baseline of the
system of Dominion Land Surveys."

An Order in Council approved by His Honour the Lieutenant-Governor
dated 9th day of February, 1921, appointed the Director of Surveys Interpro-
vincial Boundary Commissioner for the Province of Ontario. An order in
council approved by His Excellency the Governor-General dated 26th day of
February, 1921, appointed the Surveyor General Interprovincial Boundary
Commissioner for the Dominion. These Orders in Council authorized the
said Commissioners to take the necessary steps for proceeding with the survey.
J. W. Pierce, Ontario and Dominion Land Surveyor, of Ottawa, was in-
structed to take charge of the field operations and actual survey work on the
ground commenced about Ist June, 1921, and continued until the middle of
October.

The character of the work may best be understood by quoting some extracts
from Surveyor Pierce's interim report, as follows:

"About 70 miles of line was opened out, along which 52 monuments
were erected. Of these, 11 were concrete monuments, while the rest were
rock bolts cemented in holes in the rock alongside of a rock pyramid 5 feet
square at the base and 3 feet high. These pyramids were solidly built
of suitable stone, which was roughly hewn so that they present a finished
appearance. The line itself was so opened that it has a 12 foot clear sky
line, and its centre on the ground was cleared as far as possible of all
obstructions to careful chaining.

"The main chainage was obtained by suspending a chain between two
tripods on one of which a transit was mounted for purposes of alignment
and measurement of slope. A uniform tension was obtained by the use
of a spring balance while temperature corrections were applied throughout.
The chain used in the field was obtained at intervals with a standard which
had previously been tested here in Ottawa.

"A further chainage, independent of this semi-precise method, was
carried on by the use of a 300 foot chain, chainage pins, plumbobs and
clinometers as a check, for the purpose of detecting errors. Distances
across water were obtained by the mean of two independent triangles
with apex angles of 30 degrees. After the first couple of weeks, the entire
chainage, both main and check, was carried on by two chainmen, one
of whom was a Land Surveyor.

"In addition to the topography obtained along the line, traverses
were made as far as possible, of all the lakes that could be found within a
mile of the line. That part of the work is shown on the accompanying
plots and will be greatly extended by the addition of the information
obtained by the geologists.

"The line passed through a well wooded country, which, except through
a part south of Snowshoe Lake, has not been touched by fire. Some timber

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 55

of commercial value was encountered, although the greater portion is not
large enough for that purpose. Jackpine, of course, predominates. The
surface is extremely rough and irregular, with a prevailing direction of ridge
and valley nearly at right angles to the line. Except in the vicinity of the
mining district, there has been no summer travel here for years, so that
our transportation problem was one of the most difficult of our operations.
As we had little advance knowledge of the district, I endeavored to make
use of Indian guides, but with only indififerent success, as these had a
knowledge limited to an area they had hunted through. When once past
that area, they were useless in locating new routes. We found that we had
to depend on ourselves to hunt up the water areas and open out portages
for the use of the transport. On account of not getting our caches properly
distributed last spring, this required a great deal of labour during the summer .
which at times interfered with the progress f the line clearing. Much
of this may be avoided next season by having the caches placed earlier in
the winte- and 1 am hoping that this may be attended to during January
and February."

Lake and River Traverse.

The traverse surveys performed by the several survey parties were as
follows:

(1) Continuation of traverse of islands and shores of Lake St. Joseph,
together with certain township lines adjoining in the District of Thunder
Bay, by James S. Dobie, Ontario Land Surveyor.

(2) Traverse of islands and shores of French and Pickerel Rivers extending
from the Canadian Pacific Railway crossing to Georgian Bay, by
T. J. Patten, Ontario Land Surveyor.

(3) Continuation of traverse of Missinaibi River, by C. R. Kenny, Ontario
Land Surveyor.

(4) Traverse of Kenogami River, District of Thunder Bay, by R. S. Kirkup,
Ontario Land Surveyor.

(5) Survey of islands at the southern end of Lake of the Woods, by D. J.
Gillon, Ontario Land Surveyor.

(6) Traverse of lakes in the Timagami Forest Reserve, districts of Timis-
kaming and Nipissing, by T. G. Code, Ontario Land Surveyor.

(7) Traverse of certain lakes and rivers in the townships of Wallbridge
and Harrison. District of Parry Sound, by J. T. Coltham, Ontario
Land Surveyor.

Timber Limit Surveys.

The centre lines dividing into east and west halves Townships Nos. 41 and
44 along the line of the Canadian Pacific Railway, in the District of Sudbury,
were run under instructions from this Department by Lincoln Mooney, Ontario
Land Surveyor, for the purpose of defining certain timber areas.

Timber areas in the District of Kenora, south of the Canadian Pacific
Railway, near Ignace, were defined by Phillips and Benner, Ontario Land
Surveyors,

A timber line was also run in the township of Penhorwood. in the District
of Sudbury, by Lincoln Mooney, Ontario Land Surveyor.

56 REPORT OF THE No. 3

Miscellaneous Surveys.

(1) The subdivision of part of the Town Site of Kapuskasing was completed
by G. F. Summers, Ontario Land Surveyor. The subdivided area
comprises 850 town lots with streets, boulevards and park areas.

(2) An addition to the Town Site of Hearst, consisting of blocks lettered
A to U, including an extension of the several streets; this area lies south
of the already subdivided portion and north of the Mattawishquia
River. Survey performed by John Lanning, Ontario Land Surveyor.

(3) Resurvey of certain lines in the northern part of the township of Pardee
was made as directed by Ontario Land Surveyors Bingham and Kirkup.

(4) R. M. Anderson, Ontario Land Surveyor, was instructed to establish
the boundaries of Long Point Park on Lake Erie, having due regard
to lands already granted by letters patent.

(5) C. E. Fitton, Ontario Land Surveyor, was instructed to make a survey
of certain park lots on lots 28 and 29, concession 8, township of Wood,
and prepare plan for registration.

(6) SutclifTe and Neelands, Ontario Land Surveyors, made a survey of
the line between lots 11 and 12, concession 4, township of Firstbrook,
District of Timiskaming.

Inspection.

The reports by Inspector C. E. Fitton on the field work show that with
one or two exceptions, the work has been well and carefully performed, and it is
satisfactory to know that the placing of standard iron posts and construction
of mounds and pits have received proper attention.

Detailed reports of the several surveys for which returns have been made
during the year will be found in Appendices 15A to 40 inclusive.

Appendix No. ig.

Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., October 31st, 1920.

Sir, — I beg herewith to submit the following report of the survey of a
meridian line and a base line run during the summer of 1920 under instructions
from the Department of Lands and Forests, dated May 17th, 1920.

I left Franz Station on the Canadian Pacific Railway on May 28th, 1920,
with a party of twenty men, and travelled to Hudson Station by way of the
Algoma Central & Hudson Bay, and Canadian National Railways. We were
obliged to wait over for one day in Hearst. Hudson Station is situated on an
arm of Lac Seul called Lost Lake, and consists of a small Hudson Bay Post.
I was met by the Transportation Agent of the Company for that district and
received the courteous assistance for which the Company is noted. We detrained
at 11 o'clock in the morning of May 28th, and left the next morning at 7.30
o'clock in a York boat towed by the Hudson Bay Company freighting launch,
"Ripple." We camped over night at Lac Seul Post and arrived at our point of
commencement the next day at noon. My supplies had previously been taken
to Pine Ridge Post 20 miles farther down the lake. The men for the freighting
canoes went on to this post. The next morning the Ripple brought us back
enough provisions for two weeks. We commenced work on the 30th of May
and finished the 6th of September, having run 160 miles of line.

Our place of beginning was the 33rd mile post of O. L. S. Patten's meridian
line of 1919, which was run north astronomically from the north-west corner
of the township of Rowell. This point is on the north shore of Lac Seul. From
there we ran north astronomically 87 miles to the 120th mile post of the said
meridian. We then ran west astronomically 73 miles on 6 mile chords of the
parallel of latitude. The first twenty miles of our meridian, namely, as far as
Wenassagay River, was through green timber, the remaining 67 miles was
almost entirely through a brule from eight to ten years old where fallen timber
was piled three to six feet high. Our base line was also through brule for its
whole length.

The freighting canoes went first up the Wenassagay River to Bluffy Lake
and left a cache on an island there. They then returned to Pine Ridge Post
and started out with the bulk of the supplies to Goose Lake by way of the
English River, Trout Lake River, Woman River, Shabumeni (Gooseberry)
Lake and Berens River. We first met them a few miles below Woman Lake.
From this point to Goose Lake they brought supplies in to us from their main
canoe route approximately every fifteen miles until we reached Goose Lake.
From Goose Lake to Pekangekum (Dirty Water Narrows) I was able to provision
the party every four or five days as the Berens River paralleled the line through
this distance. The general direction of the Berens River below Pekangekum
is northwesterly, and I anticipated difficulties in keeping touch with the freight-
ing canoes. The Indian Chief came to my rescue at the last moment and acted
as guide, with the result that I was able to get all my canoes to a point on the
nine eight miles from the end.

The party consisted of twenty-five in all, made up as follows:

1 Surveyor.

1 Assistant.

2 Chainmen,
1 Cook,

64 REPORT OF THE No. 3

7 Axemen,

7 Packers on line,

6 Packers with Canoes.

This distribution varied considerably as the work progressed. Three of
these men were Indians from Pine Ridge Post, and left me at Goose Lake.
In going out they took two canoes and some provisions to cache for me at
Pekangekum, I took on two new men at this point. From Goose Lake on-
wards I kept only three men with the canoes. In fact, after the first twenty
miles of my work, I managed to keep at least seven men chopping on the line.

I feel that I should mention the splendid quality of the provisions which
I obtained from the Wholesale Department of the Hudson Bay Company at
Winnipeg, and the excellent way in which they were packed for survey work.
We did not lose an ounce of provisions from any cause during the whole course
of the survey.

The Indians in the Pekangekum Indian Reserve were very much disturbed
by the fact that the line was heading for their lands and protested vehemently.
Their Chief, in company with all the older men of the tribe, met us ten miles
east of the Reserve and stayed with the party until we reached their property.
We struck the southern end of it so I agreed to offset the line to avoid it. The
Chief of the Tribe then acted as guide for our freighting canoes to the end of the
work and sent two Indians to guide us out to Lac Seul, a trip of nine days.
This was a very great help as the line was not near any main waterway and the
country totally unmapped. This band of Indians is about four hundred in
number and they are very primitive in their mode of living. They trade at a
Hudson Bay Outpost managed by an Indian who does not speak a word of
English, nor have any of the tribe any knowledge of English. They do not
use money at all and gauge time by the height of the sun above the horizon;
distance by the progress of the sun during a journey. This made it very difficult
to obtain any information sufficiently definite to work on. In all other parts
of Ontario known to myself, the Indians refer to the King as "Kitchi Ogemah,"
The Big Chief. At Pekangekum he is called "Wemitickiji," The Frenchman.
Although they have undoubtedly been visited by missionaries, Christianity
has not the slightest foothold among them, and they still hold to their native
superstitions and ceremonies, such as "Wabinca," (Day Light Dance), etc.
There was no evidence of tuberculosis or other disease among them. In many
cases four generations were living in the same camp.

It was my intention to go out by the Berens River to Lake Winnipeg and
there to take the Hudson Bay steamer to Selkirk. There is a good waterway
from the end of our line to Little Grand Rapids, Hudson Bay Post on the Berens
River. My ignorance of the schedule of the steamer and the danger from
fifty-five unknown rapids below us on the Berens River influenced me to double
back to Pekangekum and strike for Lac Seul from there. The Indian Chief
supplied me with two guides to Red Lake where there is an outpost of the Hudson
Bay Company, and from there we were able to follow the Dominion Government
Geological map to our first destination at Hudson. I was five days in getting
to my work and twelve days in getting back to Sault Ste. Marie after its com-
pletion. The expense in wages, railway farfes and board in taking a large party
such a distance was great. The Indians of that locality, however, work in the
summer only as a pastime and could not be depended on for more than three
weeks' steady work, so that this expense was inevitable.

The new system of monumenting each third mile entailed a good deal of
extra work, but it is undoubtedly an excellent method of ensuring permanent
record of lines in the field. I did not find the new iron posts much more difficult
to handle than the old type as we were only supplied with sufficient for ninety
miles, but had we taken enough for all our work, it would have necessitated
employing another man with the freighting canoes. Fifty per cent, of the iron
posts planted were witness posts and many of them a considerable distance

from the true mile post, due to solid rock, muskeg, etc. We experienced con-
siderable difficulty digging pits in the first few miles owing to frozen ground.

Soil.

The only section which presents any possibilities as farming jfland is
along the Berens River from mile 16 on the base line to mile 45. This is

5 L.F.

66 REPORT OF THE No. 3

fairly level land and is of good clay loam, about 250 square miles in extent.
Elsewhere there are pockets of arable land but not of sufificient extent to be
worthy of note. For the most part it is solid rock and swamp or muskeg.
Where there is soil of any kind it is as a rule very light sand. The occasional
pockets of clay loam are so thickly sprinkled with boulders as to be of no use.
West of Pekangekum the country is consistently solid rock. We ran a line
around two sides of a rectangle and travelled the other two by canoe. The
freighting canoes went across the south half of this rectangle. From information
obtained in this way and from questioning the Indians, I am practically certain
that there is no land of farming value in this area except that above mentioned,
with the possible exception of a narrow strip on each side of the English River
from the junction of Red Lake River to Lac Seul.

Timber,

The area between Wenasagay River and Lac Seul is well timbered with
spruce and jack pine, averaging about four cords to the acre each, taking the
section as a whole. There is a considerable quantity of balsam here and lesser
stands of birch and poplar. The north shore of Lac Seul seems to be the northern
limit of white pine, red pine and cedar. There are a few scattered trees of
each of these along the lake shore. North of the Wenasagay River and over
all of the country included in the rectangle above described, fire has swept
about eight or ten years ago. On this huge area a second growth of banksian
pine is springing up in most places. Here and there a few square miles of the
original stand have escaped the fire, more particularly on the clay belt referred
to along the Berens River. In this section there are some small stands of large
aspen and spruce, but the quantity is too small to be of commercial value.
Previous to these fires the entire country has been very thickly wooded with
spruce of commercial size.-

MlNERALS

With the exception of two small areas we encountered only barren laur, ntian
formation. Two miles north of the Wenasagay River we first encountered
Huronian schists and greenstones and ran through this for twenty miles. We
found nothing of value in place, but found float of mahnetite, pyrites and
Galena. On our trip out we again encountered Huronian formation in the
neighborhood of Red Lake.

Water Power.

There are no water powers of outstanding value on any of the rivers
which we encountered. Those falls which might be mentioned are as follows:

1. Twin Falls, on the Wenasagay River immediately below Bluffy Lake.
The upper falls could be flooded out by a dam at the lower one to give a natural
head of about 50 feet. This could not be materially increased. The low water
flow is about 200 c.f.s. The drainage area is about 5,000 square miles. Storage
possibilities as known are poor.

2. Woman Falls, on the Berens River. The natural head is about 15 feet,
and could not be increased. Low water is about 250 c.f.s. Drainage area about
600 square miles. Storage possibilities as known are poor.

3. White Dog Falls, on the Berens River. The natural head is about 18
feet. It could be increased to 28 feet. The low water flow is about 250 c.f.s.
The drainage area about 600 square miles. Storage possibilities as known
are poor.

4. Otter Falls, on the Berens River. The natural head is about 15 feet.
It could be increased to 35 feet. Low water is about 350 c.f.s. The drainage
area about 900 square miles. Storage possibilities as known are poor.

5. Mickkaiame Falls, on the Berens River. The natural head is about
30 feet. It could not be increased. Low water flow is about 500 c.f.s. Storage
possibilities are poor. Drainage area about 1,000 square miles.

6. Big Falls, on Trout Lake River. Natural head, 60 feet. Could be
increased to^70 feet. Low water flow 200 c.f.s. The drainage area is about 900
square miles. Good storage in Trout Lake and Woman Lake.|

Moose in Patricia Forest.

Game.
The entire area abounds in moose, red deer and bear. Near Lac Seul
and in the neighborhood of the west end of the base line there are large numbers
of caribou. The Indians report a few elk. There are wolves everywhere, but

68 REPORT OF THE No. 3

not in great numbers. The devastation by fire has reduced fur-bearing animals
to a minimum. The scarcity of beaver is particularly noticeable. Partridge
and ducks are plentiful.

Fish.

Pickerel, pike, maskinonge, whitefish and suckers are in abundance in all
the lakes. Whitefish are particularly plentiful in the expansions of the Berens
River below the Mickkaiame Falls. Sturgeon are also plentiful in these waters.
As far as I was able to learn there are neither brook trout or lake trout in the
country.

This is my report.

I have the honour to be. Sir,

Survey of Base and Meridian Lines in the District of Thunder Bay.

Sault Ste. Marie, Ont, September 15th, 192L

Sir, — I beg to submit the following report on the survey of base and meridian
lines in the District of Thunder Bay, run by me during the summer of 1921,
under instructions from the Department of Lands and Forests dated May
17th, 1921.

I left Sault Ste. Marie by boat on May 27th, with nine Indians from Garden
River and was joined by eight Indians from Chapleau at Fort William. We
took the C.N. Railway to Quorn Station and were there joined by three local
Indians. On May 30th, we commenced cutting line with a party of twenty-four
and proceeded with the work without interruption until its completion on July
23rd. During this time we lost eight hours on account of rain.

Our place of beginning was the 72 Mile Post on O.L.S. Niven's meridian
line between the districts of Thunder Bay and Kenora. From there we ran our
base line east astronomically thirty-six (36) miles, and from this 36 mile post
we ran our meridian north astronomically sixty (60) miles and thirty-three
{33) chains to its intersection with the main line of the Canadian National
Railway about two (2) miles west of Allan Water Station.

Our freighting canoes were unable to provision the party until we had
run thirty miles of the base line, but from this point to the end of the work we
were in close touch with them all the time, with one exception. On this occasion
the party were entirely out of provisions and lived for two days on game. At

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 69

the conclusion of the work we stored our canoes with the Hudson Bay Company
at Allan Water and entrained for home.

The party consisted of twenty-four in all, made up as follows;

1 Surveyor,

1 Assistant,

3 Chainmen,
1 Cook,

1 Cookee,

6 Axemen,

7 Packers on line,

4 Packers with freighting canoes.

This distribution was maintained throughout the whole course of the
survey, except that where possible two or three packers were put on the line
to chop.

Soil.

There are no areas in the country traversed by these lines suitable for
agriculture. The country is, in the main, solid rock on the surface and such
soil as occurs is glacial sand and gravel covered lightly with decayed vegetable
matter.

Minerals.

We found no traces of valuable minerals. The formation encountered
was laurentian throughout.

Timber.

From our starting point to the twenty-third mile on the base line the
country has been burnt of all timber by several fires. No seeding trees have been
left alive and it is covered for the most part with scrubby bushes. There is a
little small spruce in some of the swamps. From this point to the end of the
base line and through the first fifty miles of the meridian, the country is heavily
timbered with large spruce, birch and poplar. In my opinion it extends about
ten miles on each side of the meridian and forms a very valuable stand.

Water Powers.

Some rapids and falls were encountered by the freighting canoes on the
water way known as Allan Water, but they were a long distance from our line
and I have no data on them. The flow of water is not great but the storage
possibilities are almost limitless and several of these powers might be jointly
harnessed and a commercial amount of power thus carried to the railway by a
comparatively short transmission line.

Game.

The timbered country abounds in moose and fur-bearing animals. There
are also a few red deer and caribou. Beaver are particularly plentiful. Ducks
and partridge appeared to be in great numbers everywhere.

70 REPORT OF THE No 3

Fish,

Pickerel, pike, whitefish, lake trout and suckers are to be found in abundance
in all the lakes.

This is my report.

Survey of Base and Meridian Lines in Vicinity of Abitibi and Mattagami
Rivers, District of Timiskaming.

New Liskeard, Ont., August 30th, 192L

Sir, — Under instructions from the Director of Surveys, dated May 6th,
1921, our Mr. Sutclifife and party proceeded to Smooth Rock Falls from whence
they followed the Mattagami River to where same is crossed by O.L.S. Niven's
base line, which was cut out in the year 1900. There was no difficulty finding
this line or in reaching the 27 mile post at which our work began.

As instructed we ran a meridian line due north from O. L. S. Niven's 27
mile post for a distance of 54 miles and 12 links to intersect O.L.S. Speight's
base line ran in 1911. From the 18 mile post on our meridian line we ran our
first base line west 17 miles 73.50 chains to intersect O.L.S. Speight's meridian
line, ran 1911, and east 5 miles 69 chains to the Abitibi River. From the 27
mile post we ran our second base line east 6 miles 48 chains to the Abitibi River.
From the 36 mile post we ran our third base line west 17 miles 67.05 chains to
intersect O.L.S. Speight's meridian line and east 3 miles 25 chains to the Abitibi
River. From the 45 mile post we ran our fourth base line east 42.34 chains to
the Abitibi River.

No serious obstacles were met with on the journey in or during the work
and outside of having two canoes upset we were fortunate in not having any
serious accidents to either our men or equipment. As instructed, 9 mile chords
were run on the base lines, and in our field notes we have shown the true astro-
nomic bearing for each mile as run on the ground, and while there are very slight
differences from the theoretic bearings and distances, we believe that you will
he well satisfied with the accuracy of the work, and we are pleased to report
close checking when closing in on O.L.S. Speight's work, done in 1911.

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 71

Instrument Work.

Light Mountain Gurley and Ainsworth transits were used. Stellar ob-
servations were taken as frequently as possible. Our observations were all
calculated, and as a check we used curves previously plotted in our office for
the proper latitude and longitude of the work. These curves, without calcula-
tion, give the bearing of the Pqle Star at any time to the nearest minute. Time
corrections were frequently made by observation.

Chainage,

400 link chains were used and slope distances taken when necessary and
corrected with the use of a clinometer and slope tables. The tapes were properly
tested and the chainers were duly sworn.

Posts and Bearing Trees.

The most durable wood obtainable was selected for posts. With only a
few exceptions, no great difficulty was experienced in planting the iron posts.
When possible, small trees were marked for Bearing trees. The trees were
chosen as nearly opposite one another as possible.

Blazing of Lines

One man on the party was made responsible for the blazing of the line
and the results obtained were satisfactory.

Timber and Soil.

It will be observed on the maps that the Abitibi and Mattagami Rivers
drop several hundred feet in a short distance. The country lying between
these rivers drops in much the same manner. This feature naturally affects
the timber conditions. Above and below this drop the country is comparatively
level. The upper level is a fairly good clay and mostly covered by spruce forest.
In places there are areas from which good pulp wood cuts could be taken, and
there are other areas on which the timber is yet too small to be of present value.
The width of the area over the drop is about 15 miles. The soil here is sandy
and the timber, where not touched by fire, though sometimes scattered, is large.
The timber in this area consists of spruce, birch, poplar and balsam.

On the lower level the timber is also small, but we believe there are some
fairly good pulp wood areas. Most of this part of the country seen by us had
just recently been burned, however. We are unable to state definitely as to
the exact area burned, but an approximate estimate would be between 30 and
40 square miles. We are informed that the fire commenced about June 25th
and it lasted until extinguished by heavy rains on July 20th. The soil on this
area is clay, with a tendency to be slightly sandy in spots, but on the whole is
good. Along the most northerly portion of our meridian line the ground was
very swampy and the timber, which was chiefly tamarac, small.

East of the Mattagami River there appears to be a large area that was
burned years ago, which has since grown up with poplar. West of the Matta-
gami in the vicinity of our first base line the timber is spruce and very good.

72 REPORT OF THE No. 3

Watercourses.

There are no streams of importance between the Abitibi and Mattagami
Rivers in this vicinity. There are a few creeks which could be made navigable
for canoes but our lines being so far apart we were not able to get much informa-
tion concerning same. There apparently are very few lakes.

Rock Formation.

It is only along the rivers in vicinity of water falls and across the country
where the drop, before referred to, takes place, that there are rock outcroppings.
Along our third base line several low rock ridges were crossed and for the most
part the formation is granite. Some porphyry dykes were observed. A ridge
of gabro and disbase was also crossed in the vicinity of the 1 1 mile post on the
third base line. Quartz veins seemed very numerous in the granite but no
mineral was seen.

Agriculture.

This area is within the clay belt so often spoken of. The soil is suitable
for agriculture, but not before the country is burned over or the timber growth
cleared away. The moss is so heavy in places that the frost remains in the
ground nearly all summer. When the moss and vegetable growth are removed
we have no doubt that conditions will be just as favorable for agriculture as in
the more southerly portion of Timiskaming District.

Animal Life.

We are informed by the Indians and those who have trapped in this area
that fur-bearing animals are plentiful. Among the large animals, moose and
bears are plentiful. There are also a few red deer but they are not numerous.
Fish are plentiful in the large streams, the principal being sturgeon, pickerel
and pike.

Accompanying this report are a general plan on mounted paper, a timber
plan on tracing linen and field notes of the survey on the usual forms.

I have the honour to be. Sir.

Survey of Township Outlines in the District of Thunder Bay.

Sault Ste. Marie, February 6th, 1920.

Sir,-- I beg to submit herewith the following report in connection with the
survey of certain base and meridian lines made by me in the District of Thunder
Bay, under instructions from your Department dated May 1st, 1919.

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 73

I commenced my survey on May 17th, having left vSault Ste. Marie on
Wednesday, May 14th, with my party of thirteen men. I ran west from the
58th mile post of O.L.S. Niven's on the district line between Algoma and Thunder
Bay. This starting point was about four and a half miles north of the Canadian
Northern Railway. Owing to an error in my instrument the first nineteen
miles of this survey were not run astronomically west. The true bearings,
however, are shown on the plan and notes, these having been obtained by
observations since the survey was completed. I finished my survey on July 19th.

Durable posts were firmly planted and scribed on the south side at every
mile of the survey. For each post two bearing trees were carved. At every
three miles on the line iron posts were planted similarly carved to the wooden
ones. The other conditions laid down in your instructions were carried out in
every respect.

Timber.

The country between the district line and the White Otter River is sparsely
timbered. Just west of Hillsport on the Canadian Northern Railway we ran
through about four miles of brule. West of the White Otter River the country
is heavily timbered with spruce, balsam, birch, poplar and scattered plains
of jack pine. Spruce is the predominating timber and grows to a considerable
size, running as high as two feet in diameter. On some of the ridges there are
good growths of poplar and birch. Cedar is found in the swamps and along
the banks of the rivers. Just before leaving this district a fire swept through,
and no doubt destroyed a quantity of timber. This fire I understand began
near the C.P.R. and burned through to the C.N.R., crossing this railroad at
White Otter Station.

Soil.

Most of the area passed over is unsuited for agricultural purposes. The
soil is a whitish sand loam. The western part of the district traversed by us
was quite rough and rolling. The rock outcrops were not numerous. These
were gneiss on the eastern part of the base line, but on the meridian line north
of the 18 mile post, a few outcrops of diabase were noticed. One of these occurs
at Taradale Station on ^he C.N.R. No mineral was found on this survey.

Game.

Moose are quite plentiful in the district and occasionally a caribou is seen.
Beaver, mink and other fur-bearing animals are numerous. Pike and pickerel
abound in the lakes and streams.

The average magnetic variation was 3 degrees west of north.

The length of our base line from the district boundary to the Pic River
was thirty-nine miles sixty-four chains and forty-five links. Meridian lines
were run nine (9) miles north and nine (9) miles south from the 18 mile post
and nine (9) miles south from the 36 mile post and eleven (11) miles and twenty-
eight (28) chains north from this post to the southerly limit of the Canadian
Northern Railway right-of-way, which was according to the instructions issued
by the Department.

Appendix No. 23.

NiPiGON, Ont., August 1st, 1920.

Sir, — I beg to submit herewith a detailed report on the survey of certain
Township Outlines in the District of Thunder Bay, said townships lying north
of the Canadian Pacific Railway and adjoining the boundary line between
the Districts of Thunder Bay and Algoma, said survey having been performed
by me under instructions dated Toronto, May 12th, 1920.

Pursuant to instructions, I commenced my survey at an iron post planted
by O.L.S. Stewart on the line between townships 70 and 71, at the north-west
angle of township 70, said point being also the north-east angle of township 71,
and being 126 chains 47.9 links north of the centre line of the Canadian Pacific
Railway. The meridian and base lines were run pursuant to instructions
with the exception of the section of the first base line which forms the boundary
between the townships of Atikameg and Bryant, which line was run from east
to west, due to the position of White Lake (see plan).

The several lines were well cut out and well blazed, one man devoting his
entire time to the blazing. All posts, iron and wooden, were correctly marked
and planted, and the bearing trees taken wherever possible. Few cairns of
stones were planted about posts, as the country was for the most part sandy,
and few stones could be found for this purpose. Particular care was given to
the correct marking and planting of the iron posts, the digging of pits and making
of mounds.

Frequent astronomical observations were taken, the notes of which accom-
pany the field notes. I personally took the notes on the timber and soil, the
chainmen doing the actual chaining only. While on the survey I personally
covered a considerable area on either side of each surveyed line to ascertain
the size and extent of the timber, being particularly impressed with the large
areas of spruce and banksian pine in the townships.

I beg to state that your instructions were closely adhered to in every respect.
Before taking up in detail the timber, soil, etc., I may advise you that I have
been informed by reliable parties that the country to the north and to the west
of these townships is well timbered, that the areas of spruce and banksian pine
extend in these directions, particularly to the north, and that good water routes
exist whereby such timber may be driven and brought out. If it is the intention
of the Department to lay out additional townships for the sale of the timber
therein, may I suggest that this territory be investigated before doing so?

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 75

Timber.

Throughout the six townships excellent spruce was found, running from
4 to 10 inches in diameter. There are large areas that will yield from 25 to 30
cords to the acre. It is impossible to note here the location of these areas; they
exist throughout the entire six townships. Reference to the field notes and
timber plan will give the locations of the best of this spruce. The townships
McGill, Atikameg and Mikano are the best for spruce timber.

Banksian pine is found throughout all six townships in large amounts,
excellent tie timber size. The Austin Nicholson Company, of Chapleau, under
permit in previous years, has taken tie timber out from the townships of Ati-
kameg, Bryant and Flood, but not to any considerable extent. They have
merely touched the fringe of it. They have camps at present on the meridian
line between the townships of Bryant and Flood. Last winter through a sub-
contractor, this Company cut 87,000 ties, but were unable to get their drive
out. They are at present erecting a new dam in an endeavor to get their ties
out this summer. No attempt has been made to burn or dispose of the slash,
and there is grave fire menace through the several townships on this account,
especially as there are Indians, trappers and tourists continually passing through
and camping in this area. Two rather serious fires were burning in this area
during the progress of the survey, fires which I personally investigated and
found not to have been started near or caused by my survey camps.

No adequate and complete report is possible on the extent of the banksian
pine in these townships without a careful cruise being made. The townships
are all exceptionally well timbered with banksian pine running from 6 to 18
inches in diameter. I was particularly impressed with the possibilities for a
sawmill to be located near the north-east angle of the township of Bryant.
Excellent roads could be made, several are actually in existence out to the
Canadian Pacific Railway siding at Bremner. In view of the scarcity of, and
high prices for, lumber in this district, I beg to suggest that if these townships
are put up for tender, a clause be included compelling the erection and operation
of such a mill.

Aside from the spruce and banksian pine, there is very little other timber
in the townships. There is some large poplar and a little cedar, but not in
amounts to be of commercial value. Very little balsam was found and the
birch, although frequently mentioned in my field notes, was in areas small in
extent and of little value.

Soil.

The soil throughout the six townships was sandy with occasional rocky
areas and frequent small areas of muskeg. The areas near the Shabotik River and
in some other places near lakes or rivers were exceptionally good, but these
townships cannot be considered as good for agriculture, certainly not for settle-
ment purposes. The value is to be found in the timber and in the timber alone.

Game.

The country is overrun with moose, and in the southerly two townships
'red deer, partridge were exceptionally plentiful. Pike found in all of the large
lakes. Fishing operations under permit are now being carried on in White
Lake, the main catch being whitefish.

76 REPORT OF THE No. 3

Roads.

The only roads through the township are tote roads leading from the Can-
adian Pacific Railway to the several tie camps and connecting the said camps.
These roads are shown on the field notes. The entire country is very level,
with the exception of the southerly part of the township of Flood. Roads can
easily and cheaply be built for logging operations in almost any part of the areas
covered by this survey.

Minerals.

There are no minerals at all to be found on this survey. The rock where
it was encountered wasi granite.

Lakes and Rivers.

As shown on the plan, White Lake and its connecting chain of lakes, form
a water boundary to the west of the townships of Bryant, Atikameg and McGill.
This is a well travelled route, portages being short and well cut out. There are
many lakes throughout the township, all of clear, excellent water, with sandy
shores. White Lake has rocky shores for the most part. This lake extends to
Mobert and the Hudson Bay Company Post at that point on the Canadian
Pacific Railway.

The Shabotik River crosses the townships of Shabotik, Mikano and Ati-
kameg in a general south-westerly direction. This is a wide, well-travelled
river, although Gum Creek, one of its tributaries, shown to be a well-travelled
river on existing maps, is impassable by canoes, being filled with log jams. For
the information of cruisers or others wishing to investigate these townships, I
would suggest starting from Mobert and paddling up White Lake to the line
between Atikameg and Bryant. The townships of Bryant and Atikameg
could be covered in that way. McGill could be covered by following the chain
of lakes on to the north of White Lake. Shabotik and Mikano can best be
covered by paddling up the Shabotik River on its north and south branches
respectively. Flood could be reached by paddling up White River from the
old, not the present, station of Bremner, or by taking one of the two existing
tote roads that come out to the Canadian Pacific Railway near mile 18 on that
railway. Should more detailed information be de.ired re the several routes
for reaching the townships, I will be glad to supply same.

In conclusion I beg to state that your instructions have been carefully
followed in respect to the survey of these townships. I have put special atten-
tion upon the notes of the timber. I was particularly impressed with the great
value of the spruce and banksian pine. I beg to inclose herewith plan and field
notes, timber plan, astronomical observations, etc., etc., covering the entire
work.

Trusting that my work and this report upon the same will be found to be
satisfactory, I beg to remain,

Your obedient servant,

Appendix No. 24.

South Porcupine, Ont., December 1st, 1920

Sir, — I have the honour, in accordance with your instructions to me dated
May 11th, 1920, to submit the following report on the survey of certain township
outlines, north of the Canadian Pacific Railway in the District of Sudbury.

On August the 19th, my party arrived at the Woman River Station on the
Canadian Pacific Railway, and the following morning proceeded down the river
an approximate distance of four miles to the point where it intersects the meridian
run by O.L.S. Speight in 1909. From this point part of the party proceeded
north along this meridian to the 12 mile post, the starting point of the survey,
the other members of the party proceeded down the river with supplies to be
cached at, or near, the place where the first base line would cross the river.

The survey, which commenced on August 26th, was conducted throughout
in strict accordance with your instructions. The base lines were run as chords
of parallels of latitude, passing through the township corners. The east limits
and west limits of townships were run north astronomically. Frequent observa-
tions were taken on Polaris, the notes of which accompany the other returns.
In chaining, a clinometer was used at all times, and horizontal distances deduced
from the measured slope. Distances across obstructions were measured by offset
or triangulation. Many magnetic observations were taken, and the results
thereof are shown in the field notes. The lines were well cut out and blazed,
and posts of the specified varieties of wood were planted where required. Iron
posts of the standard pattern shipped by you to Woman River Station, were
planted, and the necessary pits, mounds and trenches constructed as called for
in your instructions.

Unusually low water in the streams this season made transportation difficult,
but this was more than offset by the ideal weather conditions.

Soil.

The country through the lines passed is mostly rough and hilly, but in
small tracts undulating, and can hardly be classed as agricultural. The soil,
except in the swamps and valleys, consists of a few inches of leafy loam and
12 to 18 inches of sand or clay on bed rock, as a rule. The swamps, like all
others of Northern Ontario, have varying depths of moss and muskeg.

Timber.

Approximately the western half of Dore and Garnet appears to have been
burnt over six years ago, and the ground is now covered with semi-decayed
fallen timber, and a new growth of small poplars and birches. The remaining
portion of the territory, except in small strips along streams and lakes, apparently
had been burnt over about 30 years ago, and is now covered with a thick growth
of healthy timber, large areas of which are pulpwood size. A few white and red
pines, survived the fires, and are now thriving apparently. The varieties of
timber are spruce, balsam, white birch, poplar and banksian pine on the high
lands, and cedar, small tamarac and black ash on the low lands.

Minerals.

The greater part of the rock throughout the country is granite and green-
stone. Many small stringers of quartz were observed, but no large veins. Small

78 REPORT OF THE No. 3

stringers of hematite were noted in several places along the line between Heenan
and Fenton townships, but are not likely of any economic importance.

Water Powers.

There are three small water powers on the Ridout River within the limits
of the land surveyed, and one larger power, but in a dry season like this, the
amount of power that could be developed would be almost negligible.

The water in all lakes and streams is clear and pure.

Game.

Large and small fur-bearing animals were numerous. Beaver work was seen
in or along nearly all lakes and streams, and there were many indications of
timber wolves, fox, lynx, fisher, otter and bear. Moose were very plentiful,
and a few indications of red deer were observed. Partridge of different varieties
were very plentiful also. The lakes and streams contain pike, pickerel, trout
and whitefish.

I am submitting with this report a general township plan, a timber plan,
field notes, account in triplicate and the required affidavits.

I have the honour to be, Sir,

Your obedient servant.

Appendix No. 25.

Peterborough, Ont., December 10th, 1920.

Sir, — I have the honour to submit the following report on the survey of
township outlines in the district of Sudbury performed by me during the past
season, agreeable with your instructions of May 21st, 1920.

According to your instructions, I commenced the survey at the north-west
angle of the township of Strathearn, from this point I ran due north astronomic-
ally twelve miles, this line being the west boundaries of the townships of Hill
and Ramsden. From the north-west angle of the township of Hill I ran the
south boundary of the township of Buckland due west astronomically to the
north-east angle of township number thirty-seven, and from this point I ran
the line between the townships of Buckland and Delmage north astronomically
six miles. From the latter point I ran west astronomically six miles to the
north-west angle of the township of Delmage. I then returned to the north-east
angle of Delmage and ran the north boundaries of Buckland and Ramsden due
east astronomically twelve miles. I then proceeded to the north-west angle

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 79

of the township of Hill, and ran the north boundaries of Hill and Marshall
and the east boundary of Ramsden. I then ran the east boundary of Mageau
north six miles. From this point I returned to the north-west angle of the
township of Mageau, and ran the north boundaries of Mageau and Racine.
After completing this line, I ran to the south-west angle of Mageau township.
From this point I ran the east boundary of Hill south six miles and picking up
the northern boundary of Strathearn I ran east to the north-west angle of the
township of Cochrane, thus completing the survey allotted to me.

As to the general character of the country through which these various
township outlines pass, I may say that it is evident that all this section was swept
clean by fire about the year 1865, and it is also evident that since that date other
fires, evidently not so destructive, have swept through this particular section.
All this country is now grown up with poplar, white birch, banksian pine and
spruce, running up to eight and ten inches in diameter, and generally speaking,
very thick underbrush of various kinds.

This country is very rolling and rocky, made up practically of a continued
series of high hills and deep valleys, making the work of cutting lines very slow
and laborious indeed. Along the north boundaries of the townships of Buck-
land, Ramsden, Mageau and Racine, and extending from one to three miles
southerly, the country is more of an undulating character, with larger timber,
consisting of spruce up to ten and twelve inches, poplar, yellow birch, white
birch, balsam and banksian pine up to fifteen inches and a few scattered white
pine up to thirty-five inches. All the country passed over by me is very rocky
and I am sorry to report totally useless from an agricultural standpoint. An
exceptionally large number of lakes of various sizes were met with, interfering
greatly with the progress of the work. The shores of these lakes are, generally
speaking, high and rocky, and the water pure and good. The fishing, however,
was not found to be even fair. I found the deflection of the magnetic needle
to average five degrees west of the astronomic north and although fluctuating
considerably at many points, no mineral deposits were seen or found.

The only game noticeable in this country are moose, which are fairly
plentiful throughout this entire section. Astronomical observations for the
purpose of verifying the courses of the lines were taken whenever practicable,
returns of which will be found on the proper pages of the field notes. The iron
posts supplied by the Department were placed and the pits and mounds made
at the exact points or as near the exact points as possible.

Accompanying this report I also beg to submit the field notes, a general
plan showing the topography of the country. Also timber plan, etc., all of
which I trust will be found complete and satisfactory to the Department.

I have the honour to be. Sir,

Your obedient servant,

80 REPORT OF THE No 3

Appendix No. 26.

North Bay, Ont., June 8th, 1921.

Sir, — In accordance with your instructions dated May 11th, 1920, we
have made a survey of certain township outlines in the District of Sudbury,
and beg to submit the following report.

The starting point for this survey was at the fourth mile post between the
townships of Cavell and Carew. From this point we ran our first meridian two
miles north astronomically, where a wooden and iron posts were planted to
indicate a corner of Cavell, Carew, Fingal and Edith townships. We continued
this meridian north astronomically six miles, one chain and fifty and one-half
links for the west boundary of the township of Fingal.

From the iron post planted to indicate the south-east angle of Edith town-
ship, we ran our first base line west astronomically on a six mile chord a distance
of six miles and twenty-two links to intersect the east boundary of Township 16.
This intersection is two chains and ninety links south of the north-east angle
of said Township 16.

From the iron post planted to indicate the south-west angle of Fingal
township, we ran our second base line east astronomically on six mile chords
a distance of twelve miles to form the south boundary of Fingal and Arbutus
townships.

From the sixth mile post on this second base line we ran our second meridian
north astronomically, twelve miles and ninety-nine links to intersect base line
run by C. V. Gallagher, O.L.S., during the season of 1920. The posts at this
intersection were planted by him as we had arrived at this point some time
previously.

From the sixth mile post on this meridian number two, we ran our three
base line east astronomically on a six mile chord a distance of six miles, one chain
and forty-one links to its intersection with meridian number three, which was
then run from the twelfth mile post on base line number two. This meridian
number three was run eleven miles sixty-four chains and thirty-one links to
intersect the south boundary of the township of Frater. This intersection was
made twenty chains, seven and seven-tenths links east of the first mile post
on the south boundary of said township.

We then ran our base line number four from the sixth mile on meridian
number two west astronomically on six mile chord, a distance of six miles, one
chain and forty-seven links to its intersection with meridian number one.

General Characteristics.

The area embraced by this survey is rolling lanfl with a large percentage
of the acreage in spruce, tamarac and cedar swamps, and a few open, marshy
areas. Almost the entire area was fire swept, which probably occurred during
the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway.

Through the townships of Arbutus and Huffman are several lakes and
streams, which have been and are being used as canoe routes northerly from
Biscotasing.

Soil.

The soil is sandy throughout the area. The swamps have moss and mulch
overlying the sand.

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 81

Timber.

The timber is small, due to being fire swept. A few scattered areas have
timber of commercial size, but a fine harvest of lumber is growing, which will
be a valuable asset in fifteen or twenty years.

Rock.

Very few outcrops of rock were encountered. No contacts were observed
nor economic mineral discovered.

Game.

Large game is plentiful. Tracks of moose, red deer, and bear, were seen
daily. Small fur is also there, and from reports, trapping has been carried on
extensively.

Accompanying this report are plan, field notes, accounts, etc., all of which
are respectfully submitted for your approval.

We have the honour to be, Sir,

Your obedient servants,

McCauslan & Anderson,

Ontario Land Surveyors.

Appendix No. 27.

Toronto, January 20th, 192L

Sir, — We have the honour to submit the following report on the survey
of certain township outlines north of the Canadian Pacific Railway in the
District of Sudbury, made by us during the past summer, under instructions
from your Department dated 21st May, 1920.

Upon the receipt of the instructions, arrangements were made for the
organisation and equipment of the necessary party, and on the 15th of June
a party was assembled at Dalton, on the Canadian Pacific Railway. The
following day a search was made for the iron post planted in 1893 by O.L.S.
Stewart, to mark the intersection of the line between townships 42 and 43
with the northerly boundary of the Canadian Pacific Railway. This post has
disappeared but a post planted at that time by Mr. Stewart to the south of the
Canadian Pacific Railway right of way was found in position, and by measuring
northward a small mound of stones was found around what had been the site
of the post sought for. A substantial wooden post was planted by us, in lieu
of the missing monument, and a cairn of stones built around it.

An observation for azimuth having been obtained, the survey was com-
menced the next day by extending northward the line between townships 42

6 L.F.

82 REPORT OF THE - No. 3

and 43. At a distance of 57 chains and 69 links from the point of commence-
ment, an iron post was planted to mark the chainage of three miles from the
south boundaries of the townships. Standard pits were dug to the north and
south and a wooden post was planted as required by your instructions. From
this post we continued north on the line between townships 42 and 43 to the
line run by O.L.S. Stewart delimiting the north boundary of township 43.
The iron post planted by him was found 8 links west of our line. A standard
iron post with pits and mounds, was planted at the intersection and the old
post was removed. From this corner we ran east along the south boundary
of township 44. The party then returned to the south-west corner of township
44 and ran the line between townships 44 and 45 north, to the intersection
with the north boundary of township 45 as defined by O.L.S. Stewart.
Mr. Stewart's post was found 7 links west of our line. It was removed, and one
of the standard posts was planted at the intersection.

Dog Lake intersects the west boundary of the township of Stover about
one mile north of the south-west corner of the township, and the boundary line
was carried across the lake before we proceeded to run the boundary between
.the township of Stover and township 44. We ran east a distance of six miles
to the township corner, which lay in a small lake, locally known as Ruby Lake.
The iron post, properly marked and monumented, was planted three chains
south of the true corner of the line between township 44 and the township of
Lang. Wooden posts were planted at the intersection of the township lines
with the north, east and west shores of the lake. From this corner we ran the
line between the townships of Stover and Brackin north to Crooked Lake and
the boundary between the township of Brackin and Lang east to Missinaibi
Lake. We then proceeded south along the boundary between township 44 and
the township of Lang to intersect the south boundary of township 44, run by us.
The south boundary of the township of Lang was then run easterly six miles.
Returning we picked up the north boundary of the township of Lang on the
west shore of Missinaibi Lake and continued it east to chainage six miles.

We then ran south to intersect our south boundary of the township of Lang.
As the intersection came on bare rock, the corner was marked by a cross chiselled
in the granite and the iron post was planted on the south boundary of the town-
ship of Lang three chains west of the true corner.

Returning to the north east corner of the township of Lang, we ran north,
delimiting the east boundary of the township of Brackin. The south shore of
Missinaibi Lake was reached at a chainage of about two miles and a quarter,
and with the exception of the crossing of the island of Reva and another small
island, the rest of this boundary lies in Missinaibi Lake. The chainage was
carried forward by a triangulation based on the west shore. Having established
the line on the north shore of the lake, we proceeded via Crooked Lake and
Dog Lake to the west boundary of the township of Stover on our way running
the remainder of the line between the townships of Stover and Brackin. The
west boundary of the township of Stover was carried northward to the corner
of the township and the line continued northward along the west boundary
of the township of Rennie to O.L.S. Niven's base line of 1900. We then returned
to the south-west corner of the township of Rennie and ran east between the
townships of Rennie and Stover to the east boundary of the township of Stover.
From the intersection the boundary between the townships of Rennie and
Leeson was run north to O.L.S. Niven's line and the boundary between the
townships of Leeson and Brackin east to Missinaibi Lake and the east boundaries

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 83

of these townships. The east boundary of the township of Leeson was then
continued from the point established on the north shore of the lake to O.L.S.
Niven's base line, thus on the 3rd of September completing the survey.

All the east and west lines were run as chords of the parallels of latitude,
passing through the corners of the respective townships. Frequent observations
were taken on Polaris throughout the survey. The notes of a number of these
accompany the field notes.

All lines were well opened out and carefully blazed. Where possible,
cairns of stones were built about the posts planted and, except in a few instances
where recent fires had laid bare the country, each post was referenced to two
bearing trees. Wooden posts were selected from the most durable material
available in the vicinity of each mile post and the posts themselves firmly
planted. Great care was taken to plant the iron posts in the most workmanlike-
manner possible, and every effort was made to so dig the trenches and pits that
they would comply fully with your instructions and be permanent witnesses
as to the positions of the posts.

General Features. . '

The area embraced in these townships lies mostly to the north-east of the
height of land, but township 44 and parts of the townships of Lang and Stover
drain southward to Lake Superior. The other townships are drained by the
head waters of the Missinaibi River, Dog Lake, Crooked Lake and Missinaibi
Lake form an excellent canoe route across the centre townships and numerous
other small lakes crossed by our lines.

The surface is hilly throughout, and the township of Lang and the south-
west part of township 44 are decidedly rough.

In the northerly two townships, considerable areas of cedar swamp were
encountered. We are not in a position to say, however, whether the length of
the swamps where crossed by our lines is really indicative of their extent through-
out the townships. These swamps represent the only possibilities of the land
from an agricultural standpoint, as elsewhere the country is a succession of
rock and granite ridges, absolutely unsuited to agriculture.

Timber.

Part of the forest south and west of the height of land has recently been
lumbered. Messrs. Austin and Nicholson have a tie camp in operation near
mile 5 on the south boundary of the township of Lang, and some thousands of
ties had also been taken out during last winter from the country adjacent
to Dog Lake.

Between Crooked Lake and Missinaibi Lake, in the townships of Lang and
Brackin, there is apparently a very considerable area of good jack pine and spruce
and various other smaller stands were crossed by our lines. Probably not more
than 35 per cent, of the area of the townships surveyed has escaped fire within
the last fifty years. About 40 per cent, of the township of Lang was burnt over,
apparently about twenty years ago, and an extensive area north of Crooked
Lake suffered about the same time. Both these areas are now largely covered
by a dense growth of young jack pine.

The rapid strides now being made in the development of the air ship and
aeroplane suggest that in the near future it may be possible to supplement the
information gained from a township outline suvery by air photographs of the

84 REPORT OF THE No. 3

interiors of the townships. This should give a good general idea of the actual
value or otherwise of the timber within the area covered, besides furnishing
data for the charting of waterways, etc.

Water Power.

As the height of land runs through these townships, the streams are in-
significant, and there are no water powers capable of development within the
area surveyed.

Minerals.

A considerable variety of rock was met with, especially in the southerly
townships, and while no precious or economic minerals were seen, thorough
prospecting may reveal deposits of value. During the summer, nickel was
reported south of Dalton, but the extent or value of the find is unknown.

Game.

Moose were seen at various times, and signs of bear and beaver noted.
Pike and pickerel were plentiful in the streams and lakes. Lake trout are said
to be present in Ash Lake. In general, however, the game is not so plentiful
as in some other districts of Northern Ontario, owing probably to persistent
hunting and trapping by Indians and others from Missinaibi.

Appendix No. 28.

Pembroke, Ont., February 7th, 192 L

Sir, — I have the honour to submit the following report of the survey of
certain township outlines in the District of Sudbury, made by me under instruc-
tions from your department, dated May 12th, 1920.

I left the Canadian National Railway at Foleyet Station with my party,
using wagons to move my outfit about seven miles over a good portage road
to the north end of Ivanhoe Lake, and proceeded up the lake to the meridian
run by T. B. Speight, O.L.S., in 1909, and finding witness post planted by him
at forty-two miles plus ten chains, I chained south on his meridian and estabished
the corner of Carty and Pinogami Townships, then from observations I ran my
first base line west astronomically a distance of five miles and seventy-nine

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 85

chains and sixteen links, and planted iron and wooden posts with mounds and
pits, establishing the corner of Evans, Warren, Carty and Pinogami townships.
From this corner I continued my first base line west, establishing the line between
Warren and Evans townships, and then, returning to township corner above
referred to, I ran my first meridian north to intersect base line by O.L.S. Speight,
and south astronomically a distance of six miles, establishing the corner of
Evans, Pinogami, Biggs and Hellyer townships, from which I ran my second
base line east to Speight's meridian and west astronomically a distance of six
miles, establishing the corner of Sandy, Murdock, Evans and Hellyer townships,
this being the starting point of my first meridian, and continued west on my
second base line to intersection with the east boundary of the township of
Chewitt. I then returned to my second meridian and ran north to intersection
with my first base line and continued to intersection with the south boundary
of the township of Paul, then returning to my second base line, I ran south on
my second meridian between Sandy and Hellyer townships. Returning to
my first meridian, I ran south astronomically between Hellyer and Biggs town-
ships a distance of six miles, establishing the point of commencement of my
third base line, and continued south between the townships of Raney and Rollo
to intersection with base line run by O.L.S. Young, 1920, I then returned to
point of commencement with my third base line, and ran east astronomically to
Speight's meridian, and west to intersection with my second meridian, and con-
tinued west to intersection with the east boundary of the township of Gamey.
I then returned to my second meridian and produced it south to intersection
with O.L.S. Young's base line already referred to, establishing the boundary
between Crockett and Raney. Base lines were all run on chords of latitude and
frequent observations for azimuth were taken and recorded in field notes.
Wooden posts were planted at every mile and iron posts, pits and mounds
planted, and bearing trees taken where specified in instructions. Where posts
and monuments could not be established at exact chainage, witness posts and
monuments were established as shown in the field notes.

Soil.

We did not encounter any land suitable for agricultural purposes; the soil
is either sandy or gravel with boulders, and occasional outcrops of rock. The
surface is generally rolling, with comparatively small level areas of swampy
land.

Timber.

Forest fires have destroyed the timber over a large portion of area covered
by this survey. All of the townships of Crockett, Raney, Rollo and all of Biggs
excepting a small triangle in north-west corner of the township; that portion
of Hellyer lying south of a line drawn from fourth mile post in west boundary
to the second mile post on east boundary, and being now covered by dense
growth of jack pine, poplar and white birch from two to six inches in diameter.
This old brule also extends into south-east corner of Pinogami. A considerable
quantity of jack pine and spruce of commercial value is to be found in the north-
west portion of Hellyer, the south-east half of Evans, that portion of Pinogami
north-west of Ivanhoe Lake and a strip from one to one and one-half miles in
depth along south-east side of the lake, and the south and east part of Carty
township; a few scattered areas of white and red pine were seen along banks of
Ivanhoe Lake in Pinogami township. In the townships of Sandy, Murdock and

86 REPORT OF THE No. 3

Warren, the north-west portions of Evans and Carty, there are scattered areas
of jack pine and spruce, but timber is usually too small at present for commercial
purposes.

Minerals.
No indications of economic minerals were found.

Streams and Lakes, Etc.

' What was known as the Pishkanogama Route from Ridout Station on C.P.R.
passes through south-east corner of Crockett township to south end of lake
formerly known as Pishkanogama Lake, now called Ivanhoe. This lake is
navigable through townships of Hellyer and Pinogama, but is now about fifteen
feet lower than its original level, due to a washout at north end of lake, but I
understand surveys are being made to build a dam which will restore lake to
within about five feet of its original level. On both sides of this lake the hills
rise to a height of from one hundred and fifty to two hundred feet, with a thick
growth of timber in Pinogami township.

There are a number of inland lakes of considerable size in townships of
Raney, Rollo, Warren and Carty. There is a canoe route from Ivanhoe Lake
through Hellyer and Sandy townships to Trout River, but stream is shallow
and not much used.

There are no water powers capable of development. Ivanhoe Lake can be
used for storage purposes.

Game

Moose and game are plentiful, and there are many beaver colonies through-
out the whole area. Speckled trout up to one and one-half pounds were taken
in Raven River, Township of Murdock, and I understand are found in lake in
south-west corner of Warren township.

Generally speaking, the area covered by this survey is valuable only for its
timber reserves and will be of considerable value as a source of pulpwood if
fire is kept out and young timber allowed to mature.

Accompanying this report are a plan, field notes, timber plan, with usual
afifidavits and accounts in triplicate.

I have the honour to be. Sir,

Appendix No. 2q.

Pembroke, Ont., February 18th, 1921.

Sir, — In accordance with instructions from your Department, dated the
12th of May, 1920, I have surveyed certain township outlines in the District
of Sudbury, and have the honour to report thereon as follows:

I proceeded to Ridout Station on the Canadian Pacific Railway arriving
on the 13th of June, and spent a few days hiring men from various points,
finally on the 15th of June, with two O.L.S. assistants and a full party, I was
ready to proceed with the survey.

The post from which I was instructed to commence my survey had become
obliterated, but after considerable searching I located the iron post in a cairn
of stone, planted by O.L.S. John McAree in 1902, on the south side of the
Canadian Pacific Railway right of way, marked "R" on the north side; XXII
on the east side, and XXIII on the west side. At this point I took an astro-
nomical observation from azimuth, and upon measuring north from this point
one chain and fifty-six and two-tenths links (1 ch. 56 2/10 Iks.), the distance shown
in McAree's field notes, across the Canadian Pacific Railway right of way, I located
a cairn of stone, but no post. At this point I planted a spruce post and then ran
my first meridian north astronomically between townships XXII and XXIII,
a distance of three miles, fifty-eight chains and twenty-six and six-tenths links
(3 m. 58 ch. 26 6/10 Iks.), where I planted an iron post in the prescribed manner
establishing the corner of townships of Tooms and Greenlaw, being the point
of commencement of my first base line, which I ran west between townships
XXIII and Tooms to the intersection of the northerly production of the line
run by Ontario Land Surveyor McAree in 1902 between townships XXIII and
XXIV, thus establishing the north-west angle of township XXIII and the
south-west angle of township of Tooms. From this point I ran north astro-
nomically between the townships of Tooms and XXIV to the intersection of the
south boundary of the township of Lackner. My first meridian was continued
north between townships of Tooms and Greenlaw, and my first base line was run
east along south boundary of Greenlaw a distance of six miles, where I established
the corner of Greenlaw, Cunningham, number XXI and number XXII, being
the point of commencement of my second meridian, and I continued my base
line along south boundary of Cunningham to intersection with Speight and van-
Nostrand's meridian at a point three chains and fifty-two links (3 ch. 52 Iks.)
north of his XII M.P. Returning to point of commencement of second meridian,
I ran north astronomically a distance of six miles, establishing corner of Green-
law, Denyes, Swayze and Cunningham, the point of commencement of my
second base line, and continued this meridian north between townships of Denyes
and Swayze. Returning to the second base line, I ran east astronomically
between the townships of Swayze and Cunningham to intersection with Speight
and vanNostrand's meridian at a point six chains and fifteen links (6 ch. 15 Iks.)
north of his XVIII M.P. I then ran west astronomically on my second base
line between the townships of Denyes and Greenlaw to intersection with my
first meridian, and continued west astronomically between the townships of
Halcrow and Tooms to intersection with the west boundary of the township
of Lackner. I then returned to my first meridian and produced it north between
the townships of Halcrow and Denyes to a point distant twelve miles from my
first base line, establishing the north-east angle of Halcrow and the north-west

REPORT OP^ THE No. 3

angle of Denyes, the point of commencement of my third base line, from which
I ran west astronomically along the north boundary of Halcrow to the east
boundary of the township of Gamey. Returning to my first meridian, I ran
east astronomically along the north boundary of Denyes township to inter-
section with my second meridian, and continued east astronomically along the
north boundary of Swayze.to Ontario Land Surveyors Speight and vanNos-
trand's meridian, completing the field work of my survey.

All lines were run with the transit as true meridians or chords of latitude?
passing through the township corners. Frequent astronomic observations
were taken and recorded in my field notes. The measurements were taken with
a two chain type and on sloping ground the clinometer was used. The lines
were posted in accordance with instructions and iron posts of the new style
were planted and witnessed by pits and mounds in the prescribed manner.

Physical Features.

The entire area covered by the survey is undulating or hilly country, with
many rock outcrops. The Ridout River, a sluggish stream from twenty-five to
fifty links wide, flows north-easterly from Ridout Station on Canadian Pacific
Railway in township XXIII, across the north-west corner of township XXII,
and is joined by the Wakami River, a larger stream about one chain in width
in the township of Greenlaw, and continues north-east through the north-west
corner of the township of Cunningham and the south-east corner of Swayze.
This river is navigable with a canoe, but is very crooked, and there are five
short portages between south boundary of Greenlaw and junction with Wakami
River. From the junction north the stream is from a chain to two chains wide,
with a fair current and two short portages in the township of Cunningham.
There is another small river flowing northerly through the township of Tooms,
Halcrow and the north-west corner of Denyes; this river is also navigable with
a canoe, but is quite shallow. The lakes are very numerous, some of which
are of considerable size, as shown on my plan.

Timber.

The only timber of commercial value met with is in a small area comprising
the north-west quarter of Greenlaw, the north-west quarter of Tooms and a small
portion in the south-east quarter of Halcrow and part of the south-west quarter
of Denyes. In this area there is some very good jack pine from six to fourteen
inches in diameter, with spruce, birch, poplar and balsam of good size. With the
exception of a few swamps in which there is green timber of spruce and cedar, from
six to twelve inches, the balance of the area covered by the survey is an old
brule, densely grown up with small jack pine, birch and poplar, ranging from
two to five inches in diameter, which, if the fire is kept out, will make a valuable
forest in the future.

Soil.

I am convinced that there is no agricultural land within the whole area.
The soil is of a light sandy nature, strewn with stones and boulders. In the
swamps there is generally about a foot or two of black muck covering boulders.

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 89

Minerals.

No economic minerals were seen though on the line between Swayze and
Cunningham, in the first mile and in the fifth mile, as shown in my field notes,
I intersected mining claim lines.

Game and Fish,

Moose are very plentiful and an occasional red deer was.seen. Most of the
lakes and streams are inhabited with beaver. Small game is said to be numerous
and trapping in this country is quite profitable. The only fish caught were pike
and pickerel of a fair size; they seem to be quite plentiful in all the streams and
lakes of any size. '

Water Power.

In the northerly part of the township of Cunningham, there is a falls on
the Ridout River of about twenty feet, but the shores of the river are low and
storage would be poor. There is another falls of about thirty feet in the town-
ship of Halcrow, but owing to the low water, flow being small in volume, neither
of these are of value without storage, and an estimate of horse power available
could only be made after a careful survey to ascertain drainage area, etc.

Accompanying this report are a general plan, a timber plan, field notes of
the entire survey and the usual affidavits and accounts in triplicate.

I have the honour to be. Sir,

Survey of Township Outlines Along the Wagamacie River, District

OF Timiskaming.

Ottawa, October 14th, 192 L

Sir, — In accordance with your instructions dated May 12th, 1920, I
proceeded to run certain township outlines west of the Ground Hog River,
and south of the National Transcontinental Railway.

My assistant, Mr. Fred Webster, left Ottawa on June v3rd, and had our
party in readiness for me when I arrived in Fauquier on June 10th. On June
11th, we started up the Ground Hog River, later entering the Wagamacie
River. The latter river is for the most part quite shallow and very rapid at
that time of the year, and it was with considerable difficulty that we were

90 REPORT OF THE No. 3

enabled to reach Wagamacie Lake. This lake is about three miles long, and
one and one-half miles wide. We followed the river southerly till we came to
Sutcliffe and Neeland's meridian, run in 1919, and followed this line northerly
till we came to the thirty-three mile post on the Seaton-Grifhn meridian. We
continued this line northerly three miles to the township corners. We then ran
the Seaton-Fenton chord and the Slack-Grififin chord, after which we continued
the Fen ton-Slack meridian.

After seeing the Griffin-Slack Chord well started, I had to return to Ottawa,
as I had received on the day of my departure, a subpoena to appear as Engineer
in a case which was coming up for trial shortly. On my arrival in Ottawa I
immediately secured the services of J. E. Lyon, O.L. Surveyor, and sent him
up to my party, and reported the proceedings to the Department. Just after
I left I sent in another man for the party, and he brought tales of fabulous wages
being paid for men, with the result that half the party left. My assistant,
Mr. Webster, came out and replaced these, and the work went on.

Arriving at the Fenton-Staples, Casselman-Slack corner, the party ran east
to the Wagamacie River, where we had our main cache. This cache was then
moved west to the township corners, and after dividing the party, Mr. Lyon
ran west on the Fenton-Staples chord, and Mr. Webster ran north on the Staples-
Casselman meridian.

After going some distance, they sent back for more provisions, and found
that our cache had been completely cleaned out by bears. Mr. Webster then
ran as far as he could on the available grub, i.e., one and three-quarter miles
west on the Staples-Sulman chord. He then returned and ran east of the
Wagamacie River a day's run, to the six mile post and came out.

Mr. Lyon got as far as Lake Saganash, and after losing considerable time
trying to get suitable triangulation points, returned when his grub gave out,
and came to Fauquier about August 20th. As it was impossible to get any
men to return, they came to Ottawa.

After it froze up in November, I sent a small party in, but they were unable
to finish the work. In June, 1921, we again went in, finishing our contract
on July 17th, 1921, by completing the Fenton-Staples Chord, the Slack-Cassel-
man Chord, the Staples-Sulman Chord, and the Shanly-Staples Meridian.

The country traversed, with the exception of the northerly boundary
Staples, is low, wet country, covered with mixed timber of fair quality, about
thirty per cent, of which is over eight inches in diameter, and suitable for lumber-
ing, while the remainder is fair pulp wood.

The north boundary of Staples is high, undulating land, and has been
burnt over at one time. At present it is covered with small, second growth
timber of little value. This brule covers part of the Staples-Casselman Meridian,
but the timber is poor. The brule also extends along the Shanly-Staples Mer-
idian, where the timber is somewhat better on the first and seventh miles, the
remainder being of little or no Commercial value.

The soil is mostly clay or clay loam subsoil, covered with decayed vegetable
matter, and moss.

No economic minerals whatever were encountered.

During 1920 the country was absolutely infested with bees and wasps,
as many as forty-four nests in six miles on the Fenton-Seaton chord having to be
removed from the line. This was our chief factor in holding up the work.

Frequent observations were taken during progress of the work, in fact,
every time it was possible to do so, one was taken.

Plans and field notes of the work are being forwarded.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

Survey of Township Outlines in the Districts of Sudbury and Algoma.

Peterborough, December 2nd, 1921.

Sir, — I have the honour to submit the following report on the survey of
township outlines in the Districts of Sudbury and Algoma, performed by me
during the past season under instruction from your Department, dated April
15th, 1921.

I commenced the survey at the one hundred and eight mile post on Ontario
Land Surveyor Alexander Niven's base line, surveyed during the seasons of
1899 and 1900, which point is about 15 miles south-west of Peterbell Station,
on the Canadian Northern Railway. After taking the necessary observations
for latitude and azimuth, I rah due south astronomically twenty-four miles to
the north boundary of the Township of Mageau, surveyed by me during the
season of 1920. All this line passes over a very rough and rocky country,
heavily timbered with spruce, poplar, banksian pine, white birch and cedar.
The land along this line is totally unfit for cultivation. The country traversed
over is, however, very valuable and contains an immense quantity of pulpwood.

Having completed the above meridian line, I proceeded to the north-west
angle of the township of Pattinson, and produced the west boundary of that
township due north astronomically six miles, being the boundary line between
the townships of Floranna and Sadler. The .country passed over on this line
is very similar to that already described, i.e., rough and rocky, and heavily
timbered with spruce, poplar, banksian pine, white birch and cedar, with alder
and willow scrub, and a large quantity of windfall.

On the completion of this line I moved to the south-east angle of the
township of Sadler, from which point I ran north astronomically six miles,
being the boundary line between the townships of Sadler and Alcorn. The
country along this line is rough and rocky, and is tirtibered with spruce, banksian
pine, balm of Gilead, balsam, white birch and cedar, the spruce, cedar and
balm of Gilead running up to sixteen and eighteen inches in diameter. There
is very little of what is usually termed agricultural land along this line.

92 REPORT OF THE - No. 3

After completing this line, I proceeded to the south-west angle of the
township of Lincoln, from which point I ran due west astronomically on nine
mile chords along the line between the townships of Copperfield and Lipsett
on the north, and Floranna, Sadler and Alcorn on the south, a distance of about
twenty-one miles, where I intersected my first meridian line. The character
of the country along this line is very similar to that already reported upon —
rough and rocky, and very heavily timbered.

Having completed the above line, I came east to the south-east angle of
the township of Lipsett, and south-west angle of the township of Copperfield,
and ran the boundary line between these two townships north astronomically
to the south-west angle of the township of Bonar, from which point I ran the
line between the townships of Lloyd and Lipsett due west astronomically to
intersect Ontario Land Surveyor Speight's meridian line surveyed during the
past season. The country along the north and west boundaries of Lipsett is
much the same as that already reported upon — all rough, and with the same
varieties of timber.

Having completed the lower part of the work, I moved my camp and outfit
to the iron post planted by Ontario Land Surveyor Speight on his meridian line
six miles north of Ontario Land Surveyor Niven's base line, from which point
I ran due west astronomically on nine mile chords along the south boundaries
of the townships of Conking, Nebotik, Makawa and Moorehouse. In all a
distance of thirty-six miles, where I intersected the east boundary of the town-
ship of Simpson, three chains and eighty-three links north of the south-easterly
angle of said township. All the countr^^ traversed by this line is rough and
rocky, and is of little or no agricultural value. The easterly twenty-five miles
is heavily timbered with spruce, banksian pine, white birch, balm of Gilead,
poplar, balsam and cedar, running up to eighteen and twenty inches in diameter,
and in some places with a dense undergrowth of alder and willow. Along this
part of the line there are also a few scattered red and white pine, running up to
thirty inches in diameter. The westerly eleven miles of the line is through a
country that has been frequently swept over by fire, and commonly called
"brule country." This tract is covered with the usual small scrub which follows
a fire, white birch, poplar, banksian pine, etc., up to four and. six inches in
diameter, with alder and willow underbrush.

Observations for latitude and azimuth were taken very frequently, all the
work closing very satisfactorily. Wooden posts were planted at the end of
each mile and iron posts every three miles, according to instructions. All the
pits and mounds were made very carefully and where it was not possible to
construct these properly, which was quite frequently the case, owing to the
rocky nature of the country, a witness post was planted and witness mound,
etc., constructed according to instructions. The lakes, rivers and streams,
which are all numerous in this country and crossed by the various lines, contain
good pure water and an abundance of the usual kinds of fish. Game appears
to be very plentiful, particularly moose, which could be seen almost daily, and
in spite of centuries of trapping, the beaver, otter, fisher and mink are still very
numerous. Nearly all the country passed over by me this season is very rich
m pulpwood, but 1 am very sorry to say, very poor from an agricultural stand-
point. The variation of the magnetic needle averages from three to five degrees
west of north, but it is a very uncertain quantity.

Little Current, Ont., January 31st, 192L

Sir, — I have the honour to submit to you the following report on the
survey of Lake Penage and part of the Whitefish River, including Walker Lake,
Bear Lake and Long Lake, to the east limit of the Whitefish River Indian
Reserve, according to instructions from your Department dated Toronto,
May 4th, 1920.

Having proceeded from Little Current by train on 1st July, and canoe,
from Willisville, situated on the first lake up the Whitefish River, I arrived at
the east limit of the Whitefish River Indian Reserve on Long Lake on Saturday
evening, July 3rd.

Commencing at the said east limit of Whitefish River Indian Reserve,
the work was continued with very little interruption and completed on the
9th of September. We arrived back at Little Current on the 11th of September.

With only one or two exceptions, all posts planted were of cedar, not less
than 4 inches square; in most cases they are 5 inches, some are six inches, and
properly marked. Every post, with only one or two exceptions, is mounded
up with stones, forming a cairn, which at nearly every post has a base of five
feet, and about two feet high. Where a post was merely driven, it is noted in
the traverse. All posts were also planted well above the flood water, caused
by damming the lakes in river driving.

On Lake Penage a careful triangulation was made throughout from several
bases, which were measured and remeasured with a steel tape. Stadia readings
were made on several of the triangulated distances, a table of which I have
shown in the notes, with the resultant difference. In plotting my work across
Berths 90 and 91, I was obliged to apply this difference in order to close reason-
ably with the recorded measurement of the line between those Berths.

In several places, where no other check was available, the measurements
were carefully duplicated and compared.

Posts were planted on all islands, except on small, bare rocks where no
loose stones were available to mound them, and properly marked and their

position is shown approximately on the traverse sheet. There were planted
also posts about a mile apart on the shores and numbers cut thereon as shown
in red on the traverse sheet.

Survey of the Southerly Parts of the Ground Hog and Kapuskasing

Rivers and Tributary Streams and Lakes, Districts of

Sudbury and Algoma.

Cobalt, Ont., February 1st, 192L

Sir, — In obedience to your instructions dated May 2nd, 1919, and further
instructions of May, 1920, to traverse certain lakes and rivers in the Districts
of Sudbury and Algoma, I have continued the work, and beg to report as follows:

1. — Routine of Work.

On May 14th, I left Cobalt with my party for Kukatush, on the Canadian
National Railway at the Ground Hog River Crossing. After caching part of
my supplies at McLeod's store, I moved the party to Kasaswaychin Lake and
commenced the survey of a chain of lakes which give a short route to Sahkata-
wichtah and Rice Lakes.

We finished survey of Kasaswaychin Lake on May 28th and moved camp
to Katagi, the next lake, on May 29th. The survey of Katagi and Atekepemeska
was finished June 10th and Arbeesee Lake commenced on the same day. Ar-
beesee Lake was completed on June 12th and camp moved to Sahkatawichtah
Lake on June 13th. On June 16th, we had completed a portion of Sahkatawich-
tah which I was compelled by bad weather to leave unfinished in 1919, and
camp was moved to the first portage en route to Rice Lake. On the morning
of June 17th, when I called on the party to carry on up to Rice Lake, two of the
men, Wilfred McLeod and J. J. McDonald, refused to go on, saying the wages
were too small and the work too hard. Charles Sheppard, Howard Johnston
and Robert McLeod remained. Leaving Sheppard and Johnston to guard the
supplies, I left with Robert McLeod for Kukatush. I employed E. B. Bourke
as assistant and James White as cook, both of North Bay, and arrived back with
them at Sahkatawichtah Lake on the night of June 23rd.

On June 24th I moved the parly to Rice Lake and completed the survey

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 95

of it on July 6th. From here we moved to Opeepeesway Lake, finishing this
survey on July 15th.

On July 16th, we moved camp about half-way to Kukatush and arrived
there on July 17th.

On July 19th, we commenced the survey of Ground Hog River. Having
more trouble with men, I sent Bourke to North Bay for others. Bourke was
unable to get men, but I finally got two in Sudbury. We finished survey of the
Ground Hog River on August 17th.

The party was then moved by train to Trout River, which was finished
on September 4th. Camp was then moved to the north boundary of Kapus-
kasing township and the survey of Kapuskasing River commenced. This was
the final survey of the year, and was completed and the last men paid off on
September 30th.

The following is the mileage of the traverse:

Miles

Kasaswaychin, Katagi, Atekepemeska and Arbeesee Lakes 60.0

Rice Lake 44.0

Opeepeesway Lake , 39.0

Sahkatawichtah Lake 4.0

Ground Hog River 87.0

Trout and Kapuskasing Rivers 97.0

Total 331.0

2. — Method of Survey.

(a) Instruments Used. — The traverse was made throughout by transit
and stadia. Azimuth angles were used and also the angle to the right was
measured between stations. The stadia rods used, read direct to tenths of links.
The targets were about two feet long by about six inches wide, one being firmly
placed at the top of the rod, and the other moved to the correct position by the
rodman. A supply of white linen was carried and the targets newly covered
from time to time.

The accuracy of readings was checked from time to time by readings on
chained lines and also on the sides of triangles calculated from chained base
measurements. They were found to be very accurate.

(b) Field Notes. — One form of field notes was kept throughout the course
of work. The notes were transcribed in ink and carefully checked. They
show: station, azimuth, distance, angle right, bearing and, under Remarks,
the point on which the reading was taken.

(c) Observations were taken frequently on Polaris for azimuth. The
results are shown in the field notes.

(d) Posts and Blazed Trees. — Along the banks of the rivers and around
the shores of the lakes, trees were blazed at intervals of about one mile and
were marked: 1 M., 2 M., 3 M., etc. Records of these are shown on the plans
and in the field notes.

On islands stump posts were made. A good sound tree was felled and the
stump squared and marked with a letter, "A," "B," "C," etc., except in some
cases when the island was very small, when a tree was blazed. The bearings
shown to posts and trees are measured with the transit and are astronomic.

(e) Survey Lines, Township Boundaries. — In all cases where survey lines
were found, they were tied in and are shown on the plans. Posts were planted

96 REPORT OF THE No. 3

one chain from the shore on each side of the river or lake, where this had not
been done in the original survey.

3. — Descriptions of Lakes and Rivers.

(a) K as as way chin, Katagi, Atekepemeska and Arheesee Lakes:

Shores. — The shores of all these lakes are very similar, being mostly high
and rocky. Back from the water's edge, the rock is covered with a sandy clay
and boulder overburden. From different rock exposures I saw, I should say
the formation was nearly all granite.

Timber. — Except for a brule near the C.N. Railway and one or two small
brules, the timber is of good quality; jack pine, red pine, spruce and birch,
averaging about twelve inches in diameter, with some cedar. Logs are at
present being driven down a creek from Katagi to Kasaswaychin Lake, and
may be driven from as far west as the west end of Atekepemeska Lake. From
Arbeesee Lake the water flows south-westerly towards Sahkatawichtah Lake.
The creeks could be driven in high water, if well cleaned out.

These lakes, together with a lake about two miles long in McOwen Town-
ship, form a very good canoe route to Sahkatawichtah Lake. The only portage
not shown on the plan is one of four chains over a small falls at the foot of the
lake in McOwen.

ih) Rice Lake.

Shores. — Except at the north end of Rice Lake, the shores are high and rocky.
The formation is nearly all granite.

Timber. — Nearly all the west side and south end of the lake has been
burned over and is covered with small birch and poplar. The north end is a
spruce and cedar swamp. On the east side of the lake, north of the Narrows,
the timber is good, being red pine from twelve to twenty inches in diameter,
jack pine, birch and poplar, up to twelve inches.

Islands. — There are about forty islands in the portion of the lake west of
Frater township, the largest, containing 37 3/5 acres, six others from 10 to 20
acres, the remainder very small. With the exception of a few of the smaller
islands, all are well timbered with red pine from twelve to twenty inches, and
jack pine up to twelve inches, with some spruce and cedar.

(c) Opeepeesway Lake.

Shores. — The shores of this lake are very similar to Rice Lake, being nearly
all high and rocky.

Timber. — The timber on the shores of nearly the whole of the lake has been
burned and small birch and poplar have grown up. There is, however, at the
south-east of the lake, some white pine of from nine to sixteen inches in diameter.

Islands. — There are about twenty-one islands in the lake, all being small,
the largest containing not more than five and three-fifths acres. They are
nearly all well-timbered, mostly with red pine.

{d) Ground Hog River .—-The survey of the Ground Hog River was com-
menced at Ground Hog Lake and continued through the townships of Keith,
Penhorwood, Reeves, Melrose, Parke, Strachen, Montcalm, Poulett, Hicks.
Stringer and into McVicar.

Ground Hog River has a width of from three and one-half chains, just
north of the C.N. Railway, increasing to a width of from eight to nine chains
in Stringer Township. The banks are, generally speaking, fairly high and well
wooded, except where the timber has been burned. Brules and the kind of
timber are shown on the plans.

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS

The river was very low in August, when the survey was made, which made
the work much easier. In high water, the flow would be very rapid. There
are numerous rapids and a few falls. The most important rapids are the
Five and One-Half Mile rapids, in the townships of Strachan and Montcalm,
and the Ten Mile rapid, from Station 17 in the township of Hicks, through
Stringer, to Station 13, township of McVicar. The total fall of the first is
eighty-five feet, and that of the latter about the same, the Ten Mile rapids
being much flatter. Canoes can be poled or tracked nearly all the way up
both rapids, there being three lift-overs in each.

The Pishkanogami River flows into the Groundhog from the west, between
Stations 23 and 24, in the township of Montcalm- At its mouth it is only about
one and one-half chains wide. The banks are very steep and densely timbered.
Cedar grows very thickly and overhanging the stream.

The Natt River empties into the Groundhog at Station 17 in Poulett
township. It runs parallel and can be used for a canoe route when the Groundhog
is high, to overcome the Five and One-Half Mile Rapids. Its width is from
one to one and one-half chains.

Waterpowers on Groundhog River. — There are two powers which can be
developed without extremely long penstocks for dams. The first is at Station
11 in Reeves Township and has a fall of eighteen feet. The flow measurement
was made on August 22nd, 1920, but is away below average for the year, and is
not a fair estimate. At this time it was 832.4 cubic feet per second.

The second power is somewhat better, having a fall of twenty-seven feet.
It is located between Stations 6 and 8 in Melrose township. I did not measure
the flow here, but would say 900 cubic feet per second, or practically 10 per cent,
greater than the first falls would be about right for conditions at that time.

In both cases, the present head can be raised from five to ten feet without
serious damage to lands upstream.

(c) Kapnskasinf River. — The survey of the Kapuskasing River was com-
menced at the north boundary of Kapuskasing township and continued through
the townships of Amundsen, Davin, Buchan, Clouston, Allenby, Maude, Con-
cobar and Shaney.

Kapuskasing River has a width of about three and one-half chains at the
north boundary of Kapuskasing township, and carries this width through to
slightly north of the north boundary of Allenby. Through Concobar and
Shaney the width increases to almost seven chains on the north boundary of
Shaney.

The banks, with the exception of where rapids are shown, and at one or
two points, are low, with a width of from ten to twenty chains where the ground
rises to the average height of the country, say probably, one hundred and fifty
feet above the river.

Timber. — The river is practically free from brules and the timber is nearly
the same through the whole length surveyed, being cedar up to ten inches,
poplar up to twelve, spruce from four to twelve, with some small balsam. There
is the odd jack pine, but none of any great importance.

Waterpowers. — The most important power on the portion of the Kapus-
kasing surveyed is just north of the line between Buchan and Davin townships,
between Stations 3 and 6. The falls itself measures 16 feet, but the total fall,
including the rapids, is 33 feet.

The next is a falls of 10 feet in the township of Shaney, at Station 17. There
are no others of importance.

7 L.F.

98 REPORT OF THE No. 3

(/) Trout River. — The banks of Trout River are very flat and covered
with grass in most places for about ten chains. The country is very low and
level.

Timber. — The timber consists of jack pine from four to eight inches, poplar,
birch, small spruce and dead tamarac.

There are no waterpowers of importance.

Fort William, Ont., February 2nd, 192L

Sir, — We have the honour to report that in accordance with instructions
of 6th May, 1920, in regard to traverse of certain rivers and lakes in the District
of Algoma, we started out on May 27th, having secured the necessary supplies
via C.N. Railway, and by special arrangement were dropped right at Nagagami
Crossing, about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, giving us ample time to get our
camp up and supplies under cover for the night. I was also enabled to get an
observation on Polaris.

The next morning we started the traverse of the Obakamiga River. It
took us one week to traverse this stretch of river until it flows into the Nagagami
Lake. The land in the near vicinity is barren of timber with the exception of
spruce and cedar (mainly) which grow densely along the river banks, in places
hanging over the river and intertwining themselves in trees on the other side.
This necessitated clearing out before any .progress was made. In addition,
the river overflowed its banks in many places, and here hubs had to be driven
and a lot of clearing out and cutting before sights could be obtained.

Lake Nagagami was rather easy going except when we struck the islands,
and here the mainland was so cut up that it made progress slow. There were

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 99

also some days when we were unable to go out on account of heavy seas, the lake
being shallow and squally.

On the 14th of June, Mr. Kirkup had to return to town to procure two
more canoemen, as our Indians had left on short notice. He rejoined the party
on the 17th June with two men, and continued down the river.

The country tributary to the Nagagami River is in a general way low,
level, clay country, covered with about two feet of moss and a small dense
growth of spruce. Along the bank of the river the timber grows a little heavier
but is scattered. As we neared the south boundary of McMillan township,
we struck better country. Banksian pine and poplar ridges with sandy loam,
and within the township of McMillan we found it to be rather heavily timbered
with spruce. We tied into the Hudson Bay Company's Post on the Nagagami
Lake, but it was deserted, and from appearances has not been used for several
years.

The party arrived at the Transcontinental Railway on the 6th July and
spent three days there repairing our outfit and getting everything ready for the
next stretch of river. Mr. Kirkup had to go to Hearst to secure supplies and
also one canoe as the other freight canoe had been ruined on the first part of
the trip. He was also fortunate in securing the services of two good French-
Canadians for freighting, who stayed with him throughout the job.

On the 9th July, the party started out again and packed supplies, etc.,
from the track to the north limit of McMillan township. From here they started
to traverse once more and continued down the Nagagami and Kenogami Rivers
to the south boundary of the Indian Reserve on the last mentioned river, tying
in to the Hudson Bay Company's post at Mamawimattawa.

There is some good spruce timber in the township of McMillan, but north
of there, through the townships of Fintry and Auden, it is scattered and scrubby,
the soil being clay loam, very rocky. Just north of the last-mentioned township
we struck a big brule about twenty years old, which, it is said, extends from
the C.P.R. to the Hudson Bay. At any rate, it follows the river as far north as
we travelled. It is clay country and, speaking to the Hudson Bay Company's
factor, he said it was very productive and will grow almost anything. Mr.
Kirkup also personally saw two or three good fields of potatoes at the Hudson
Bay Company's post.

Fur-bearing animals are very scarce north of the Transcontinental Railway,
and the Indians had very poor luck last year. Fish are also rather scarce.

On the 31st July, the party started back up the Kenogami River and
made fair progress with the traverse, as the river is wide practically all the way.
It is swift, shallow and rapid. There are no falls or heavy rapids and with six
inches to a foot more water it could be called fairly navigable. There are high
clay banks nearly all the way, covered with red shale. The country on either
side has all been burnt and is now covered with second-growth poplar and a
dense growth of willows. The moss has been burnt off and dried up, leaving
a light clay loam covered in places with one or two feet of black muck and
moss. This would make really good farm land. It is swampy in places.

The Pagwachuan River we found very dry, making our moves difficult.
The river appeared to be in shelves or terraces, in some places seven or twelve
feet deep, and suddenly so dry that we would have to drag our canoes. We ran
rather short of supplies before we reached the Transcontinental on the 26th
August. Here more supplies were secured and the party proceeded upstream
and travelled to the boundary between the Districts of Algoma and Thunder

Bay, returning to the Transcontinental Railway grade on the 6th of September
and entraining the next day for Fort William.

Timber.

In a general way there is no timber of economic value with the exception
of the east side of Lower Nagagami Lake, the township of McMillan and in
the near vicinity, and the northern part of the township of Bicknell. Outside
of this there is nothing but old brule covered with second-growth poplar, and in
some cases banksian pine and open swamps, with small spruce.

Game.

South of the Transcontinental Railway, speckled trout and pike abound
in both the Nagagami and Pagwachuan Rivers. As regards the fur-bearing
animals, they are also plentiful. We saw many moose and bear and signs of
beaver and muskrat. North of the Transcontinental Railway we saw several
moose, but no fur-bearing animals, nor any sign of their having been there.
In conclusion we would say that we can only cover the territory in a general way
in our report. However, the notes of timber and soil have been put on the plan
in detail. We found in the course of preparation of the plan that owing to the
small scale we could not show all our intermediate readings as so many bearings
and lines made too much confusion. It will also be found that on some islands
there are no trees marked or posts planted. These were omitted because there
- was no growth on these islands with the exception of long grass, and they are
no doubt swept in the spring by the heavy flow of water.

Water Power.

Several waterfalls of various natures were met with in the course of the
traverse. These were all of a small nature, with two exceptions, one at Gull
Rock Portage, on the Nagagami River, and one in the township of Clavet;
the former, according to information obtained, could develop 5,904 horsepower,
and the later, 413. The heads of these falls were noted in the traverse and
are shown in the field notes, together with a cross section of the river at these
points.

Soil.

The soil in general is red and white clay, with clay loam in places and sandy
loam on the ridges. It is generally speaking, good soil for agricultural purposes.
It is rather rocky on the west side of Lake Nagagami and through the townships
of Fin try and Auden, and north to the Three Portages on the Nagagami. North
of this there are little or no rocky outcroppings.

During the months of June and July we experienced very heavy cold rains,
but lost very little time as it generally happened that we moved on those days.
The months of August and September were exceedingly dry as regards rainfall.
There were no serious accidents or losses throughout the whole trip, although
it was rather hard on the canoes, the four of which we used being practically done
for, as they had to be dragged over the river bed so many times on account of the
low water. This we did to expedite the work, as carrying the canoes would have
slowed up the work very much, especially as there were no portages at these
points. The waters of these streams seem to rise very rapidly, with a slight
rainfall, but they drop even quicker.

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 101

Mr. Kirkup met Dr. Williams of the Geological Staff on the Kenogami
River. He had taken exactly one week to come down to the mouth of the
Pagwachuan River from Pagwa with two canoes. This trip is usually made in
one day and a half. This will give some idea of what had to be contended with,
especially going upstream.

The plots of traverse of the Nagagami, Kenogami and Pagwachuan Rivers
are now completed and are being forwarded to you, with observations, accounts
and vouchers in triplicate.

We trust all will be found in order.

We have the honour to be. Sir,

Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., February 12th, 1921.

Sir, — Under instructions from you dated May 4th, 1920, to continue Missin-
aibi Lake and River surveys in the Districts of Algoma and Sudbury, I com-
menced organizing for this work on May 18th, 1920. I left Sault Ste. Marie
with complete survey equipment and four men, for Missinaibi Station on main
line of Canadian Pacific Railway. From Missinaibi Station I travelled by
canoe on Dog, Crooked and Missinaibi lakes, and reached the point of com-
mencement on this year's operations at Missinaibi Lake on May 26th.

For description of Missinaibi Lake please see my report of last year, as there
was only a small portion of the work on this lake to complete.

The system of survey was carried out similarly to last year's work. Clearly
marked bench marks were established at all the possible places for water power
development. Levels based on Canadian Pacific Railway elevations at Dog
Lake were carried through and checked out on the Canadian National Railway
bench mark on Missinaibi River bridge near Peterbell Station to within one
foot. This was checked again at the railway bridge crossing the Greenhill River
three miles west of Argolis Station, and levels carried up Greenhill River to
Greenhill Lake, where a bench mark was established.

Missinaibi River, Township of Lerwick.

The outlet of Missinaibi Lake is in the Indian Reserve about twenty
chains west of the west boundary of the township of Lerwick, about five and one-
half miles south of the north-west angle of the township. At the outlet the
banks and bottom are of clay soil with no indication of rock. The last available
site for a dam is, in my opinion, at the head of the rapids, forty chains east of

102 REPORTi^OF THE No. 3

the west boundary of Lerwick, where solid rock outcrops on both sides and with
elevation about 1,039 at the river crossing. I did not study topography with
particular attention to construction of dams, but I consider that a dam of
possibly fifteen hundred feet in length could be constructed to raise the level
of the lake about fifteen feet. Apparently there are no better locations down
the river.

Township of Coderre.

From this point the river runs south-easterly, north-easterly and northerly
and crosses the north boundary of the township of Lerwick at 47.65 chains
west of Mile 4|, the total fall to this point is forty feet, comprised in about five
different rapids. The banks of the river are of clay soil, with occasional outcrops
of rock. The timber is principally poplar, jack pine, spruce and balsam, indica-
tions of the river being that a fair yield of pulpwood could be taken off. At high
water this wood could be floated to the Canadian National Railway, and there
is opportunity for ponding this about a mile below the railway crossing.

The river runs almost due north through the township of Coderre, then
turns west along the northerly boundary and runs southwest to westerly boun-
dary. The Canadian National Railway crosses the river by a deck plate girder
bridge half a mile east of Peterbell Station. The river is of easy slope from the
south boundary to within a mile and a half of the north boundary. From
this point to a crossing of the westerly boundary there is a total fall of twenty-
eight feet distributed through this distance in many small rapids. The timber
is of little value as seen from the river. The soil is of clay land along the shores.

Township of Hayward.

The river enters the township of Hayward about a mile and a half north
from the south-easterly angle of the township, then flows generally parallel to
the easterly boundary, crossing it and recrossing it at 21.25 chains and 50 chains
north of the south-west corner of township of Champlain ; thence westerly about
a mile and a half to where the Greenhill River enters, and thence in a general
northerly direction to the north boundary of the township, crossing boundary
at 52.80 chains west of north-east angle of township. Above junction with the
Greenhill River, there is a rapids about three-quarters of a mile long with a drop
of thirty-three feet, which can be passed by a portage about fifty chains long.
Up stream from this to the township of Coderre, there is a very slight fall in the
river. Below the junction of the Greenhill River to the head of Split Rock
Falls, there is a drop of twenty feet distributed in several rapids. At Split
Rock Falls there is a drop of 15.6 feet, the watershed area at this point being
approximately 2,300 square miles. There is a good site for a dam at the head
of the Falls, with rock outcropping on both sides. The fall could be increased
to thirty-five feet by the construction of a dam and flooding back would combine
with regulation with Lake Missinaibi and make a probable development of
five thousand horse power. (See Appendix No. 1).

The soil is typical clay land with areas of sand and outcrops of rock, includmg
gneiss.

This township is included in the limit assigned to the Hayward Lumber
Company. They are chiefly getting ■^j.t jack pine timber for ties. There are
considerable pulp areas distributed through this township.

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 105^

Township of Champlain.

From the north boundary of the township of Hay ward, the Missinaibi
River runs north-easterly through unsurveyed lands and enters the township
of Champlain at the west boundary about two and one-half miles south of the
north-west corner of the township, and then flows north-easterly to the northerly
boundary, crossing this three miles east of the north-west angle. This is easy
navigation the entire distance, except at Mary Falls, about one mile south of
the north boundary, where there is a drop of twenty-four feet in a very short
distance. There is a good outcrop of bed rock on both sides of the river, and
it is my opinion that a dam could be erected here to flood back the water almost
to Greenhill River junction, but this would have to be determined by contour
survey. Water at head of Mary Falls is four feet below water at foot of Split
Rock Falls. (See Appendix No. 2).

The timber and soil are similar to the township of Coderre.

Township of Ericson.

The Missinaibi River enters this township at the southerly boundary three
miles east of the south-west corner of the township and flows in a general north-
easterly direction through the township. Very easy current the entire distance,
velocity being about twenty chains per hour. About two miles from the southerly
boundary of the township the Fire River enters. This river has not been surveyed
and is larger than the Greenhill River. A portion of Brunswick Lake is included
in this township and can be reached by a fifty chain portage from Missinaibi
River.

The timber consists principally of spruce, poplar, balsam, birch and cedar.
The north centre portion of the township is principally brule. The soil is of
clay with outcroppings of rock, particularly in north-west portion of the town-
ship.

Township of Cromlech.

The Missinaibi River enters this township at the south boundary near
the 2 mile post and runs in a northerly direction, with very little fall to the
north boundary of the township. Half a mile south of south boundary a portage
runs eastward connecting to Opazatika Lake through a string of small lakes.
The main portion of Brunswick Lake is included in this township within the
westerly three miles.

The portion adjoining the river is excellent clay land, timbered with second
growth poplar and birch, with fringe of spruce, balsam, poplar and cedar.

Township of Abbott.

The river runs through this township in a general course north, north-west,
with very little fall ; it is joined by the Brunswick River, which flows almost due
north, at a point about two miles south of the north boundary of the township,
there being a drop of about twenty-five feet between Brunswick Lake and
Missinaibi River. Please refer to separate report on this matter.

The land in this township in the vicinity of the rivers is good clay soil,
with occasional outcroppings of rock, timbered with spruce, balsam, poplar,
birch and cedar.

Township of Rykett.

The river enters this township about a mile and a half east of south-westerly
angle of the township and flows north-east for about three miles^ then north for
about four and one-half miles, and north-east for about a mile and a half, then
north to the northerly boundary at about one and one-quarter miles east of
north-west angle. From this point, the river skirts the northerly boundary
to within thirty chains of the north-west corner. About a mile and a half
downstream from the southerly boundary, there is a rapids with a seven-foot
fall; and about three and one-half miles from the southerly boundary, there is
a fall (Pond Falls) with a head of seventeen feet. The rock outcrop at head of

Wissanabie River, Township of Rykert.

falls indicates that a dam of about six hundred feet could be built to flood back
possibly ten miles and create a head of twenty-five to thirty feet, which might
be further increased by excavating a portion of rock outcrop at Devil Cap Falls,
about thirty chains downstream. The watershed tributary at this point is
approximately two thousand eight hundred square miles in area; if a head of
thirty feet were obtained, and Brunswick and Missinaibi Lakes regulated, a
development of five thousand horse-power would be possible. The distance
from present railway communication is considerable, and it does not appear
that this site will be developed in the near future. Through the balance of the
township, the fall amounts to about twentv feet, principally in the next two
or three miles.

The soil is of clay, timbered with poplar, spruce, balsam and cedar.

Township of Magladery.
The river runs through the south-west corner of the township, being at
no point very far from the corner. The current is easy, and soil and timber
conditions the same as in the township of Rykert.

Greenhill River or Conking River.

Pursuant to your instructions, I made a survey of this river from the Mis-
sinaibi River to Greenhill Lake, a distance of about thirty-five miles. In the
first two miles of the river, from Missinaibi to the Canadian Railway crossing,
the river falls thirty feet in a succession of rapids, a portage over a mile long
being necessary. For about fifteen miles upstream from the Canadian National
Railway crossing, the river has a very slight current, and is easily navigable
for loaded launches, there being a depth of from ten to twenty feet at low water

Poplar Forest, in Township of Stanton, Missanabie River.

stage. Above this the river is easily navigable for canoe at ordinary
stage. About seventeen miles upstream, Reva Falls has a drop of 32.7 feet,
and three miles above this, Biron Falls and rapids has a drop of 30.8 feet. Above
this, there is an aggregate fall from Greenhill Lake of about thirty-two feet,
distributed through about a dozen small rapids. Greenhill Lake is merely an
enlargement of the river, only about two hundred feet at its widest point. The
watershed area above the two falls is very small, so that power development is
out of the question.

The soil consists of clay, with outcroppings of rock at the falls and rapids.

The timber consists of spruce and a moderate quantity of poplar, balsam,
and birch — a good deal of it below merchantable size — and scattered areas of
jack-pine, large enough for timber. The spruce timber alone would warrant
pulpwood operations.

106 REPORT OF THE No. 3

Brunswick Lake and River and Foster Lake.

The survey was made in connection with Missinaibi River survey in 1920,
pursuant to your instructions.

Traverse survey was carried up Brunswick River to outlet at end of lake,
and the larger part of the lake was traversed by triangulation, with detail filled
in by stadia readings.

The lake is of moderate depth and could be easily navigated with small
launches; the shores, in general, slope gently upward, but in some places, par-
ticularly towards the south end, they are high, rocky and steep. I consider
the surface elevation could be easily increased fifteen feet, which would include
Foster Lake and spruce swamp at its southerly end, with the exception of the
swamps. Flooded area for such increase would probably not exceed one thousand
acres. Foster Lake is shallow throughout, with mud bottom; and its elevation
is practically the same as Brunswick Lake.

Apparently, there is a favorable site for an impounding dam about two
and one-half miles below north end of lake on Brunswick River, where there
are small rapids with rock outcrops on both shores. The river is easily nav-
igable for canoes only for the entire length downstream; but upstream it is
necessary to resort to trekking.

The soil adjacent to the lake and river is of clay, with frequent outcroppings
of rock, interspersed with swamps, as is evidenced by the number of small
creeks tributary to the river.

The timber consists principally of poplar, spruce, and balsam, in quantities
sufficient to make a fair pulp proposition.

Survey of Part of Montreal River and East Boundary of Timagami
Forest Reserve, District of Timiskaming.

New Liskeard, Ont., February 12th, 1921.

Sir, — Under instructions from the Director of Surveys, dated August
24th, 1920, we proceeded to Elk Lake on August 30th, 1921, and thence up the
Montreal River to the location of the work. Owing to the extremely low water
in the river and the rate at which it was falling, it was considered necessary
to at once push forward to the head of Long Rapids, and start the traverse
there. Even at this time, there was barely enough water in places to float

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 107

the heavily loaded canoes. At this point an observation was taken and the
traverse carried forward, permanent stations being left so that the work could
be picked up coming back.

Considerable time was spent trying to locate the line between the town-
ships of Kimberley and Cairo, where it first crosses the river. At this point,
the country has been burned over several times, the last time being in the
early part of the summer of 1920. For a mile or more, either side of the river,
what little timber there is standing, is so badly charred that it was impossible
to find any blazes. Close to the river, one tree was found having three blazes
on it that looked to be an old line. For purposes of closing off the traverse,
this was accepted as being the line, and was afterwards found to be nearly
correct when the traverse was figured to the second crossing. On account of
not being able to accurately locate the line without considerable time and work,
no posts were planted and no blazing done.

On the first section of the river in Cairo Township, all mining claims were
ocated and tied to the traverse, excepting H.F. 11, 14 and 13. The fire at
this point has swept the country bare, and completely destroyed the posts
belonging to these three claims.

At the second and third crossings of the line between Kimberley and Cairo,
the traverse was tied in and the line cleaned out, re-blazed and posted. In
figuring latitudes and departures of the traverse between the second and third
crossings of the line, the departures did not balance within approximately
seven and one-half chains. The first mile of the township line was then chained
and found to be in error nearly the same amount.

On the second section of the river in Cairo Township, all mining claims
were located and tied in, excepting E.B. 2 and E.B. 9. Here, too, fire had
destroyed all signs of lines and posts.

From here to the north end of the work, no difiiculty was experienced in
locating lines and posts of mining claims or townships. These were cleaned
out and reblazed and posted where necessary. There was some trouble in
finding the portages between the lakes north of Trout Lake, but these were
well opened out and blazed when the traverse was run between the lakes.

In figuring the latitudes and departures for the townships of Robertson
and Michie, the departures taken separately did not balance within approx-
imately fifteen chains. On figuring the traverse between the south boundary
of Robertson and the north boundary of Michie, it balanced very closely, thus
showing the error to be on the line between Robertson and Michie.

The traverse was finished on the north end of the work on September
28th, 1920, and the party were down to the head of Long Rapids in Kimberley
Township and at work in the afternoon of September 30th, 1920. In this
section, all township, concession and lot lines were located and re-blazed and
posted where necessary. All the original posts were found, excepting that on
the line between lots 4 and 5 in the first concession of the township of Willison.
This line was chained to the post on the first concession line for the necessary
tie.

Instrument Work.

A Gurley Light Mountain transit with adjustable stadia hairs, was used
on this work. Frequent tests of the stadia were made during the progress of
the work, but at no time was it found necessary to change the adjustment of
the hairs. The high degree of accuracy attained may be judged from the

108 REPORT OF THE No. 3

attached latitude and departure sheets, when balanced against the chained
distances on the township lines. The rod used was a sliding stadia rod with
a total length of thirteen feet, equipped with a fixed foot target and a sliding
vernier target. The rodman, in the front canoe, read the rod and noted the
reading. In a few cases, where it was impossible, owing to heavily wooded
shore line, to get stations within stadia shot, triangulations of the distances
were made by laying off a right angle base of fifty or one hundred feet and
reading the angle subtended by this base, and solving for the distance equal
to the base by cotangent of the angle. Observations on Polaris were taken
as often as possible, and the calculations of these are attached to this report.
In some cases, owing to the extremely low water, it was possible to get instru-
ment stations on sand and gravel bars in the centre of the river, and materially
added to the speed of the work.

Timber.

Notes on the timber met with during the progress of the work, will be
found on the accompanying plan. Much of the country, from the beginning
of the work to the west boundary of the Township of Cairo, has been burned
over, some of it for the second and third time. There are two fine areas of
timber along this route: one of white and red pine, along the shores of Upper
Matachewan Lake, and another of jack pine, around the small lakes in the
centre of the Township of Robertson.

Water Powers.

Most of the falls and rapids met with on this work, are on the Montreal
River in the townships of Kimberley and Cairo, and are shown on the accomp-
anying plan. No good site for a dam exists at the Long Rapids, that would
make it feasible to utilize the total drop in this section of the river. In the
township of Baden, the traverse was tied to the Power Reserve of Big Bend
Falls, which is a short distance upstream on the west branch of the Montreal
River from Upper Matachewan Lake. As the falls did not come within the
limits of the traverse, no further data was taken.

Buildings and Improvements.

The buildings along the river are of the usual log construction, and are,
in most cases, in good repair. There is one frame building at the Matachewan
post of the Hudson Bay Company. There are no dams along this route, the
only improvement in the river itself being the dock of the Matachewan Gold
Mines, a short distance above Fox Rapids, in the township of Cairo.

Islands.

All islands were given a designating letter, which was marked on a tree
or post set in a prominent position. A sufficient number of readings were
taken to give an accurate outline of the island, and if a closed traverse was,
at any time required, it could be figured from the position of the different
readings. No attempt was made to run a closed survey of each island, as in
many cases it would have necessitated probably half a day's chopping for the
entire party, on account of the amount of timber and brush overhanging the
shore line.

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 109

The groups of islands along the south-west side of the township of Willi-
son were numbered and lettered as shown on the plan of the original survey
of this township.

Most of the islands, from the beginning of the work to Lower Matachewan
Lake, have been formed from deposits of silt, etc., at the foot of rapids and
at the junction with other streams, and are, in many cases, low and swampy
and heavily covered with brush, with some large timber growing on a few of
the higher parts. Many of them probably change their shape from year to
year, owing to the action of the current during high water.

Plan.

Accompanying this report is a plan, on tracing linen on a scale of twenty
chains to the inch, showing all traverse run, together with the information
collected on the work. In some cases, such as survey of island, ties to buildings
and portages, where a large amount of detail was taken, it was found necessary
to insert a plan of the area, on a scale of four chains to the inch, in order that
all the information might be clearly shown. In each township, the numbering
was kept separate, and for purposes of calculation was considered a separate
traverse. On the plan every fifth station was numbered, to assist in locating
any particular point. On the traverse sheets attached, the latitude and de-
parture in inches for a scale of twenty chains to the inch, is given for each
station, to facilitate the plotting of the traverse.

Thessalon, Ont., March 23rd, 192L

Sir, — In accordance with your instructions, dated May 20th, 1920, I have
made a survey of certain base and meridian lines near Lake St. Joseph, in the
districts of Kenora and Patricia, and have also made a traverse survey of the
portion of Lake St. Joseph which lies west of the meridian line run by myself
in 1919, and beg to submit the following report.

The route to Lake St. Joseph is a fairly easy one. Leaving Hudson Sta-
tion on the Canadian Government Railway, one can go by gasoline boat, via
Lost Lake, English River, and Lac Seul, as far as Perch Ripple, the first portage
on Root River, which flows into the north-east end of Lac Seul. This portage
is about seventy miles from Hudson. The canoe route up Root River is good.
There are ten portages, the longest one being over the height of land into Lake

St. Joseph. This portage is about half a mile long, and is much the longest
of the ten. The portages are all in good condition, as this route is extensively
used by the Hudson's Bay Company for transporting supplies to their posts
at Osnaburgh and Cat Lake. The starting point of the survey was about twenty-
five miles by the route travelled down Lake St. Joseph from the end of the
lake.

The first base line was started at Mile 60 on the meridian line run by my-
self in 1919, being the boundary between the districts of Kenora and Thunder
Bay. This base line was run west, astronomically, for a distance of 18 miles.
The second base line was started at Mile 66 on the same meridian line, and
was also run west a distance of approximately 18 miles. From the 6, 12, and
18 Mile on the first base line, meridian lines were run north, astronomically, a
distance of approximately 6 miles, to intersect the second base line. These
meridians are known as the first, second and third lines, respectively.

Each base line was run as a series of six-mile chords of a parallel of lati-

tude. The meridian lines were run north-east. These lines were all well cut
out and blazed. A substantial wooden post, of the best green timber avail-
able, was planted at the end of each mile, except when this point fell in a lake
or stream, and was surrounded by a mound of stones wherever possible. Bear-
ing trees were marked with the letters, "B T," after being blazed in a prominent
manner, at every post where possible, and the bearings and distances of these
trees from the various posts recorded in the field notes. The number of the
mile was marked with a scribing iron on the side of the post facing the point
from which the line started. Where the end of a mile came in a lake or stream,
the post was planted on the nearest shore, and the chainage from the nearest
mile was marked on the post with a scribing iron.

At the end of every third mile, wherever possible, a standard iron post,
of the type recently adopted by your department, was planted. At these iron
posts, pits were dug and the earth from these was formed into two square pyr-
amidal mounds, in the manner described in the general instructions relating

m\-22

thereto. In some cases, it was impossible, on account of the end of the mile
coming in water or on unsuitable ground, to plant standard iron posts and dig
pits and erect mounds. In each of such cases, a standard iron post, surrounded
by a witness trench and accompanied by a conical mound, was planted at the
nearest even chain where suitable ground could be found, from the correct
position of the point to be established. These witness posts, trenches and
mounds were planted to indicate the following points:

On first base line, 9 mile and 18 mile.

Preparing niouiuls ; lul pits.

On first meridian line, III mile.

On second meridian line, III mile.
Frequent observations were taken to determine the bearings of the lines
run. The greatest variation from the theoretical bearing, found in the survey
of the lines, was 2 minutes. The bearing of the first meridian line is north
0 degrees 2 minutes east, astronomically. This was discovered after the line
was run nearlyj^^all the way through, and it was continued to the end on this
bearing.

112 REPORT OF THE No. 3

The traverse of Lake St. Joseph was started at a point^on the south side
of the narrows of the lake, 59.00 chains north of the 61 mile post on the meridian
run by myself in 1919. The whole of Lake St. Joseph, lying west of this mer-
idian, was traversed during the season. Included in this are 470 islands, ranging
in size from small bare rocks to several hundred acres in area.

In the traverse, all angles were measured with a transit, and the distances
were obtained by stadia and micrometer. The traverse was checked carefully
by astronomical observations taken as often as possible, and also by ties to the
base and meridian lines run during the season, which intersected the shores of
the lake a number of times. Every night the traverse work of the day was
plotted on cross-section paper, on a scale of twenty chains to an inch, and by
this means any error in the traverse was at once located and corrected. The
closing errors in the traverse were remarkably small during the whole survey.

At intervals of about a mile on the shore, prominent trees were blazed on
four sides, and marked on the side next the water with the letter "P," followed

by the number of ihe tree, thus, "P. No " Similarly, the islands were

marked by having the letter "I," followed by the number of the island. Each
of the trees thus marked was tied to the nearest transit station, the bearing
and distance from the station to the tree being recorded in the field notes.

The details of the traverse, showing all measurements, all posts, trees,
and other monuments, and all information necessary for the proper interpreta-
tion of the survey, have been plotted on a scale of ten chains to an inch, and
tracings of these have already been sent to your department. A plan on a scale
of one mile to an inch has also been prepared on drawing paper mounted on
cotton. This plan shows the base and meridian lines, and their relation to the
surrounding country. The shore line of Lake St. Joseph and of all islands within
the limits of the survey, have been reduced by a pantograph and plotted on
this plan. This plan accompanies this report.

The country around this part of Lake St. Joseph is rolling and rocky.
South of the lake, the country is hilly, with ridges of rock and deposits of sand
and gravel arising in places, to form rounded hills. The valleys are occupied
by deposits of muskeg, and in places by stones and boulders. The easterly
part of the country north of Lake St. Joseph, is more level, the first eight miles
of the second base line being mostly in swampy country and crossing only a
few low ridges. West of this, the country becomes more broken, conditions
being very similar to those south of the lake.

There are no areas of any consequence fit for agriculture. Areas of sandy
loam, suitable for garden purposes, exist here and there, but the total area of
these, in comparison with that of the country as a whole, is insignificant.

The whole country has suffered extensively from fire. Practically the
whole of the south side of the lake has been burnt over at diff'erent times, and
the timber is second-growth of various ages, depending upon the date of the
fire. Much of the country has been burnt over more than once. There are
a few isolated areas of fairly good spruce in some of the valleys, which have
escaped the fires, but these are rather small in comparison with the total area.

North of Lake St. Joseph there is a fairly extensive area which has not
been burnt over, and on which there is a good growth of spruce. The second
base line enters this area about half a mile west of the starting point, on the
meridian of 1919, and continues in it for six miles, to where the line first crosses
the northerly bay of Lake St. Joseph, which runs up to the easterly outlet of

1921-22

DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS

113

Cat River. This is a fairly level swampy area, with low rock ridges, and con-
tains the largest quantity of timber seen during the survey.

The remainder of the second base line and the three meridian lines run
almost entirely through burnt country, with second growth of varying ages.

There is a small grove of red pine on the north shore of the bay lying north-
east of Island No. 49, near the east end of the part of Lake St. Joseph included
in this survey. There would be probably fifty thousand feet of red pine in
this grove, and it is the only red pine seen during the survey. There is no
white pine whatever, the last white pine tree seen during the season being on
an island in Lac Seul.

The second growth timber consists almost entirely of poplar, birch, jack
pine and spruce. Along the shores of Lake St. Joseph there is considerable
scrubby cedar, but it does not appear to extend inland, as very few cedar trees
were observed along the lines.

Manv of the islands have also sufTered extensively from fire, although

H. B. Co. Post, Osnaburgh, District of Patricia.

some of them are fairly well timbered with spruce, jack-pine, white birch, and
poplar of fair size. Information as to this is given in the detailed description
of each island which accompanies this report.

The gi eater part of the portion of Lake St. Joseph surveyed during the
season, lies between the first and second base line. The south shoie of Lake
St. Joseph, from the meridian of 1919 to the first meridian of 1920, is fairly
straight and rocky, with occasional sand beaches. The ground rises quite
rapidly from the lake, in places reaching an elevation of from 100 to 150 feet
above the lake a comparatively short distance back. The north shore in this
section, on the contrary, is low and flat, with many broad, deep bays, ending
in fairly extensive marshes. Very little rock is exposed in this section, the
shores being composed mostly of sand and boulders, excepting in the marshes,
and these appear to be shallow, resting on a sandy sub-soil.

West of the first meridian the south shore becomes very much indented.
There are many large islands with narrow channels between, these channels

8 L.F

114 REPORT OF THE No. 3

extending back into the mainland in the form of narrow bays, and generally
ending in marshes. The north shore is also considerably indented, but the
islands are not so large. West of the second meridian, the main portion of
the lake narrows down to a channel about four miles long, nearly straight,
and from twenty to thirty chains wide. West of this the lake again spreads
out into a number of irregular bays, one extending to the south-west for about
five miles beyond the first base line, as far as Root Portage, which forms the
height of land between the watersheds of the Albany and English Rivers. An-
other long bay extends for several miles to the north-east, dividing into two
branches. The westerly outlet of Cat River enters the northerly one of these
branches, at the extremity of which there is a short rapids with a fall of about
three feet. The survey was discontinued at this point. Another outlet of Cat
River enters a bay which runs north of the second base line a short distance
west of the first meridian. Between these two outlets of Cat River lies Black-
stone Lake, which is really an expansion of Cat River. This lake is a consider-
able body of water, with an exceedingly indented shore line crossed in places
by the second base line and the second meridian. The second base line crosses
a large island which lies between Lake St. Joseph and Blackstone Lakes, the
two outlets of Cat River, of which Blackstone Lake is an expansion, forming
the remaining boundaries of this island. No number was given to this island,
it being treated as part of the mainland as far as the survey of Lake St. Joseph
is concerned.

The geological formations in the area surveyed are of great interest. The
rocks exposed along the first base line are mostly all granites, excepting near
the extreme west end of the line, where it strikes the lake. Along the south
shore of Lake St. Joseph the rocks are schists of Keewatin age, the contact
between the schists and the granites lying between the first base line and the
lake. The granites occur again on the north side of the lake, and on the islands
adjacent to the north shore, while the Keewatin series, referred to above, runs
along the southern portion of the main body of the lake, outcropping on many
of the islands. The schists occur on both sides of the long channel west of
the second meridian line, which is referred to above, the contact running along
the southern part of the large island which lies between Lake St. Joseph and
Blackstone Lake.

Associated with the Keewatin rocks which lie along the southern shore
of Lake St. Joseph, there is an iron range, the strike of which follows the general
direction of the lake, and which can be traced for many miles. Low grade
iron ore outcrops in many places, mostly on the islands along the south shore
of the lake, and for a distance of about three miles both east and west of the
first meridian. The exposures are numerous and some of them are fairly large.
The largest exposures occur in a laminated form, carrying about 35 per cent,
of metallic iron, consisting of a mixture of magnetite and hematite. The best
sample which could be considered as representing an exposure of any magnitude,
contained 44 per cent. iron. No attempt was made to explore this range be-
yond what was actually necessary for the carrying on of the survey, and such
samples as were secured were picked up as the survey progressed. It is by no
means improbable that systematic exploration will uncover deposits of merch-
antable ore.

Traces of this iron range in the form of narrow bands of magnetite, occur
at the west end of Lake St. Joseph, south-east of the first mile on the third mer-

1921-22

DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS

115

idian, and similar outcrops were seen along the strike of the range, at intervals
between the outcrops mentioned above.

In the year 1911 I surveyed an Indian Reserve near the east end of Lake
St. Joseph, about thirty miles east of the present survey, and observed traces
of an iron range which appears to be an easterly extension of this same range.
In travelling through the easterly portion of Lake St. Joseph, I have noticed,
at several points along the south shore of the lake, very strong magnetic attrac-
tion which appears to be spread over a large area. This iron range, from my
observation, appears to be about fifty miles long, and the indications are of
such a nature, and cover so much ground that I would take the liberty of sug-
gesting that a detailed geological survey be made of this area.

Throughout the greater part of the Keewatin area, the compass needle
was extremely erratic. The amount of local attraction was recorded in the
field notes wherever it varied from the normal; but in many cases the vertical

^Packing Survey Posts.

component of the attraction was so strong that the needle would drag on the
frame of the compass or on the glass cover, and no reading could be obtained.
These readings are shown on the detail plans of the traverse, of which tracings
have already been sent to your department. The points at which exposures
of iron ore were observed are also shown on these tracings.

There are no water- powers within the limits of the survey; but as stated in
my report of last year, there are some falls on the Albany River, east of Lake
St. Joseph, where power could be developed.

Lake St. Joseph is well supplied with fish of the varieties common to this
north country. Pike and pickerel are very plentiful, and are easily taken with
a troll, while whitefish and some lake trout are also taken in nets by the local
Indians. Moose are very plentiful, and red deer appear to be coming into
this section in increasing numbers. Partridge or grouse, of both the ruffed
and Canada varieties, aie fairly plentiful, and the number appears to be in-
creasing in the last year or two. Some prairie chicken were also seen; but the

116 REPORT OF THE " No. 3

rabbits have almost disappeared. The local Indians report fairly good catches
of the ordinary furs during the winter months.

Accompanying this report is a mounted plan on a scale of one mile to an
inch, as previously mentioned; also my accounts in triplicate, which I trust
that you will find correct. The field notes of the survey and the tracings,
showing the details of the traverse, were forwarded to your Department some
time ago.

Appendix No. 38.

Parry Sound, October 4th, 1921.

Sir, — I have the honour to report that, in compliance with instructions,
dated the 16th of May, 1921, I proceeded to make a traverse survey of certain
lakes and rivers in the townships of Harrison and Wallbridge in the District
of Parry Sound.

Along with my party, I left Parry Sound on the afternoon of May 30th,
by way of the Canadian Pacific Railway, arriving at Naiscoot Station the same
evening, where we pitched camp. The following day, after making the usual
tests of our instruments, I commenced the traverse of the Nescodaong River.
This river, averaging about one and one-half chains in width, has its headwaters
in the lake bearing the same name. For the greater part of its way, the Nes-
codaong River, on its travels to the Georgian Bay, flows through a flat, extend-
ing six to ten chains wide. The country then rises into a granite rock. Level
stretches, extending a few chains back, are also found along the Big River,
sometimes called Giroux Creek. But for a part of the way this river from its
headwaters flows through a large marsh of varying widths, where at times the
river bed is practically lost. The greater portion of the small rivers are navig-
able to light craft, but apparently this depends to a great extent upon the
character of the year. Owing to the excessive rainfall last spring, and the
nature of the ground at that time, the rush of water could only find an outlet
in the river basins; consequently many of the old dams were swept away, thus
lowering the level of these rivers considerably.

For the most part, the lakes and rivers are lying between high and rocky
shores, ranging from ten to twenty-five feet high, some of them even higher,
as in the case of the Still River near the Canadian National Railway crossing,
where its bank rises into bluff rock, sixty to seventy feet high.

The South Maganetawan River is a fine water route, even by motor boat,
for about eight miles west from the Canadian National Railway. The route

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 117

from the South Maganetawan to the north branch of the same name, must be
made by the portage, as the rapids are too wild in high water, and after the
freshets have abated, it leaves the river bed practically dry in many places.
Coming into the North Maganetawan, we find a river in most cases several
chains wide, with numerous small falls and rapids, at the foot of which the
black bass lurk.

Timber.

As these two townships have long been under timber license, very little
of the original forests remain. * The axe of the mighty woodsman has laid these
giants low, leaving in their wake the fuel for the fire to complete the destruction.
So, today, outside of certain small areas of maple, birch and hemlock that
this fiery monster was not able to devour, very little remains but the charred
skeletons of the past. As if to hide this blackened pall, small birch, poplar,
balsam, banksian, and white and red pine sprang up. While this pine is still
small, a few more decades of protection would make it a valuable asset. Be-
tween Nescodaong Lake and Gordon's Lake some very good white and red
pine, ranging between six and twenty inches in diameter, was met with. This
extends some distance east of what is known locally as One Tree Lake. Areas
of varying dimensions of maple, birch, and hemlock decorated the country around
Horseshoe Lake, Pike Lake, and along the portage between North and South
Maganetawan Rivers. As a rule, the shores of the larger lakes are nearly
depleted of timber. This is, no doubt, due to the fact of its presence near these
waters, the natural artery of transportation. The stretches along the river
flats were clothed with large-sized elm and ash, intermingled with scattered
spruce and cedar.

Soil.

Agricultural land, for the most part, is wanting in this country. Along
the Still River, extending from Byng Inlet for about three miles upstream, was
the only farming settlement met with. The land along this river, in the town-
ship of Henvey, is a clay loam, and appears very productive. Small areas
along Big River were free of rock, but the country here is too sandy. There
are a few scattered beaver meadows producing hay, but these are limited.
With the exception of the river flats and numerous small swamps, the town-
ships of Wallbridge and Harrison are rough, hilly, rocky country, unsuitable
for agricultural purposes.

Minerals.

As the rock formation here is granite of the Huronic era, no minerals of
any consequence have been found. Some very good dykes of feldspar lays
along the Nescodaong River in the township of Harrison.

Fish and Game.

Although numerous tourists visit this section of the country, the many
lakes and rivers still abound with black bass, pickerel and pike. Red deer
grazed in the meadows and several bears were seen, and the wolf made his pres-
ence known by his nightly howls.

118 REPORT OF THE No. 3

Water Powers.

No water falls of any importance are to be found in these townships. There
are two small falls just east of the Canadian Northern Railway, four to six
feet high, also two west of the railway, ten to twelve feet high, on the North
Maganetawan River in the township of Wallbridge. At the foot of the falls
there is a rapid with a fall, in about a mile, of thirty-eight feet, where a few
hundred horse-power could be developed. While there are not large natural
water powers to be found, there are places on the Still River where the banks
are high and the river valley so narrow that dams could be easily built, making
great heads of water. «

While farming is out of the question, many ot the shores and islands could
afford a resting place for tourists. Nescodaong Lake has several suitable
tourist's lots, and two beautiful islands, clothed with pine. South Maganetawan,
with a fine water route from the Canadian National Railway, has some lovely
points with sandy beaches. For those who wished farther to be removed,
there is Gordon's Lake and several lakes to the east of it, all connected by good
portages.

The township of Harrison was surveyed in 1876 by Thomas Byrne, and
the township of Wallbridge by David Beatty, O.L.S., some few years later.
Since that time, these two townships have been lumbered over several times,
and coupled with the fact that the fires came to devour the remains, the original
survey in many cases is nearly obliterated. True it is that many old pine stubs
are still standing; but these are mostly burned so badly that blazes cannot
be recognized. Along the banks of the larger lakes and rivers, nearly every-
thing was cut, as it was easily taken to the water route, thus leaving not a
trace of the former survey. In many cases, and by far the majority, where
any traces of the original survey could be found, the marks were on fallen timber
that, in a few more years, must readily succumb to the elements, thus obliter-
ating entirely the original survey, as only those lot corners, where an old post
has been perpetuated, can any landmark be found.

In reference to our surveys, you will notice that, north-east of Nescodaong
and around One Tree Lake, in the township of Harrison, we have added several
lakes that were not shown on the original plan as previously laid down. Nes-
codaong Lake and the lakes to the east of it are considerably higher — no doubt
due to the presence of the dam on the Nescodaong River — thus making a motor
boat route from the Canadian Pacific Railway to the east boundary of Har-
rison. These differences are general throughout. In the township of Wall-
bridge, you will also notice changes. Our plan of traverse will fully explain
them. I am enclosing with the report, observations, descriptions of islands
met with and area of same, and the bearing of the courses from station to station.

All of which is respectfully submitted.

I have the honour to be. Sir,
Your obedient servant,

Survey of the Extension of the Townsite of Hearst, Township of
Kendall, District of Algoma.

Cochrane, Ont., July 26th, 1921.

Sir, — I have the honour to report that I have completed the survey of
Blocks "A" to "U," inclusive, and Lots 506 to 529 inclusive, between the sub-
divided portions of the townsite of Hearst, as outlined in your instructions to
me under date May 27th, 1921, and I herewith enclose certified copy of field
notes of said survey; also full expense accounts and other returns necessary for
your department.

Under separate cover, I am forwarding by registered mail a plan on tracing
linen, giving the measurements and bearings of the south and west limits of
of Blocks "A" to "U," and the measurements along the front of each of the
town lots 506 to 529 inclusive, said plan being on a scale of three chains to an
inch, and duly signed and certified to by me, as required under the Survey Act.

Owing to the change in direction of the East and West streets, which occurs
between 7th and 8th Streets, it has been necessary to re-survey lots 500 to 503
inclusive, and slightly alter the frontage of said lots in order to have the new
survey conform with the previous subdivision, the axis of the change of direc-
tion running somewhat diagonally from the north-east angle of lot 503 to near
the south-west angle of lot 500.

I have placed iron posts at the several corners of the Blocks, and also at
the front angles of the lots 506 to 529 inclusive, as outlined on the plan which
accompanied your instructions, with the following exceptions:
North-east corner Block "S."
South-east corner Block "J."
South-east corner Block "F."
Wooden posts, 2" x 2" were placed at the above three corners, as the number
of iron posts expressed to me was not suflficient to post all the corners shown
on plan.

All iron posts were marked with a cold chisel, as directed, by placing the
letter "R" on the side of the post adjoining the road, and the block number
letter on the side adjacent to the block.

The numbers 506 to 529, inclusive, were marked on the lot angle posts
planted.

I accepted, as a basis for the above survey, the line between two iron posts
in the north limit of George Street, one being at the south-east angle of lot
226 and a second at the south-east angle of lot 210.

Owing to the almost complete disappearance of all original posts of the
ormer subdivision, no definite check could be made at the junction of the
new survey with the old, as only a few isolated posts are visible on the ground
within the settled area of the town, and those are by no means to be relied on
as evidence.

The total expense of the survey, as certified by the accompanying accounts,
amounts to $875.30, out of which sum I have received advances amounting to
$555.00, leaving a balance to the credit of my account of $320.30.

120 REPORT OF THE No. 3

I trust the accompanying plan, field notes, and accounts will meet with
your approval, and that you will find the survey has been performed with
efficiency and economy.

I have the honour to be, Sir,

Your obedient servant,

Fort William, Ont., July 13th, 1921.

Sir,— We have the- honour to report that, in accordance with your instruc-
tions of date 4th November, 1920, in regard to resurvey of the north three con-
cessions of the township of Pardee, we started out with party on November
15th, and reached there late in the evening, making camp.

We made inquiries from many of the old settlers, who had been in both
Pearson and Pardee a number of years, as to any evidence that they had found
as to blazes and old lines, and in no case had old blazes or posts been seen.

We, therefore, retraced the south boundary of Pearson township, starting
in accordance with your instructions, at the post planted by O.L.S. MacDougall,
between lots 4 and 5, Pearson, assuming it to be the east limit of Pardee town-
ship, planting posts for Pardee, and renewing the Pearson posts wherever
necessary.

We found no trace of the original line, and MacDougall's line was fairly
obliterated, most of the way.

We ran south between sections 9 and 10, Pardee, and at the end of the
first mile, finding that the topography did not work out with the old field notes,
we ran east, crossing the Pine River. Here in the spruce swamp we found
sufficient evidence to throw a shortage of 16 chains in the first concession.

This led us to be suspicious that the Pearson south boundary was not the
north boundary of Pardee.

We afterwards looked north on this same line as finally located, and found
the old original blazes extending for 12 chains into the township of Pearson.
We found no posts or bearing tree.

We referred to the Director of Surveys the question of accepting the south
boundary of Pearson for purpose of resurvey, or of endeavoring to locate the
original north boundary of Pardee as run by Hugh Wilson in 1870, and under
his instructions, accepted the south boundary -of Pearson as marked by O.L.S.
MacDougall, and planted all posts on this line.

On the east boundary of Pardee we found two old bearing trees, one at the
line between concessions 1 and 2 and the other between concessions 2 and 3,
also several old blazes which lined up fairly well.

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 121

This constituted all our evidence on the east boundary, which produced
to intersect the south boundary of Pearson, making a jog of some ten chains
west from the post, between lots 4 and 5, Pearson, which the Department
believed to be on the line between townships of Crooks and Pardee.

On the south boundary between concessions 3 and 4, sufficient old blazes
were found to establish the direction of the line; one old bearing tree between
sections 11 and 12; an original cedar post and bearing trees in the swamp at the
south-west corner, still in a well-preserved condition, were also found.

For the west boundary we ran in a northerly direction, following the blazes
which occurred in the first fifty chains, and produced north to intersect the south
boundary of Pearson, no further trace being found of the old lines.

It was very rocky, and had been burned over four or five times. This was
found to leave a net distance of 320 chains across sections 10 to 13 inclusive.

Timber.

As is well known, this part of the country was stripped of its pine timber
several years ago, and fires have ravaged it to a great extent, so that there is
really no timber of economical value to be had. What is left of the spruce is
being taken out by settlers for pulpwood.

Soil.

The soil in general is clay and clay loam, though badly broken by high
hills.

With the building of roads to the settlers, they are satisfied that they can
make a success of their operations.

We lost only three days through rain and snow during the months of
November and December, 1920, and returned to Fort William on December
23rd. Conditions then became sufficiently bad for resurvey work that, in
accordance with your instructions, we decided to suspend operations until
spring.

We returned to Pardee in May 3rd, 1921, and completed the running of
the lines.

In plan and field notes, we have shown cleatings made by settlers on the
north half of concession 1, Pardee. As will be seen according to the lines as
fixed by resurvey, part of Mr. Flood's clearing falls on the east half of section 11.
located by Auld, and part of Auld's clearing falls on the west half of section 10,
located by Gardner.

There is a clearing on the west half of section 7 made by Mr. Pitt, but we
have been unable to ascertain whether Pitt has located on this lot on the east
half of section 8.

We trust that you will be able to arrange some method of protecting these
settlers in regard to the clearings in the issue of patents.

We returned from the field on June 4th, leaving two chainmen to re-post
the north boundary, in accordance with the changed circumstances.

This they did, but unfortunately made an error in chainage, which Mr,
Kirkup and one man had to go back to correct on January 22nd.

122 REPORT OF THE No. 4

The plan of Pardee and the field notes are now completed, and are being
forwarded to you, with observations, accounts, transports and stationery
vouchers in triplicate.

We trust all will be found in order.

We have the honour to be, Sir,

Your obedient servants,

QuETico Provincial Park, November 2nd, 1921.

Honourable Sir, — I beg to submit my report for the fiscal year ending
October 31st, 1921.

We have had an average staff of ten rangers during the year whose duty
was to patrol, repair and build cabins, cut trails, roads, etc. The rangers work
in twos and the cabins are built so that at the end of their respective sections
every alternate cabin serves the rangers of two or more sections.

We have built two cabins this year, one on Windogoostan Lake, near the
eastern boundary, and one on Baptism Lake, also on the eastern boundary.
The road to Kawene from Eva Lake was very much improved by the blasting
of rocks, for which purpose a box of 60 per cent, dynamite was used, but owing
to the unseasonable weather, the drainage was not completed this year. A
road for fall and spring use was cut around Eva Lake on the west side, a distance
of about ten miles to connect with the road from Eva Lake on the one end and
with the road from French to Eva Lake on the other. This road is over a very
rough country, but will serve its purpose during the opening and closing season
of the water and ice routes, and was particularly needed in case of serious sickness
or accident.

I would respectfully draw your attention to the number of tourists who
enter the Park from the American side compared with what enters from the
Canadian side. Of the angling permits sold, over one-fourth entered from the
American side, and of the guides, nine out of thirteen were engaged on the
American side. This is owing partly to the'access to the Park from the American
side, but principally because the Canadian National Railway through trains
were not scheduled to stop at Kawene, the chief point of entrance on this side.
The result is that the moneys spent by these tourists is spent with American
merchants instead of Canadians, as we would desire. I would respectfully
recommend ihat every inducement and convenience be offered to intending
tourists to enter the Park from the Canadian side, so that their provisions and
outfits might be purchased in Canada, and also that Canadians might be access-

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 123

ible as guides to those who require them. I had a barge built on Eva Lake for
the purpose of getting in suppHes, but the boat with which we tow it is not
at all satisfactory. It is equipped with a 5 horsepower twin-cylinder Waterman
engine, two of which were purchased three years ago. The hull of both boats
are in good condition, and I would recommend that heavier power be purchased
for each boat.

Moose and deer are very plentiful, and also fur-bearing animals, particularly
beaver, which are increasing very fast. Partridge are so numerous I have
counted thirty-eight in the door-yard on one occasion.

I have the honour to be. Sir,

Your obedient servant,

Hugh McDonald,

The Honourable Beniah Bowman,

Appendix No. 42.
Algonquin Provincial Park of Ontario,

Honourable Sir, — I beg to hand you my annual report for the fiscal
year ending October 31st, 1921.

Our staff for the past year has been composed of thirty-five rangers, house-
keeper and superintendent. Three of the old staff were retired, having reached
the age set by the Act, and three new men appointed to replace them.

During the hunting and trapping season these men have been constantly
travelling their sections, and owing to the lack of employment generally, they
have been kept constantly on the move, the temptation to do some illegal
trapping being too great for men who, if otherwise employed, would not do so.
No doubt some parties have succeeded in getting away with furs, which, consider-
ing the vast area and the many means of entrance into the Park, is not to be
wondered at. However, I feel our men have done their best and have kept the
Park comparatively clear of poachers. Several have been routed out and their
traps and supplies taken, and some have been brought in to stand their trials.
Fines have been imposed to the amount of $110, and all traps, etc., taken.

Game of all kinds has very much increased, especially the deer, which are
to be seen in numbers wherever you go in the Park. Partridge (ruffled grouse)
loo are more plentiful than they have been for many years, the past winter
having been most favourable both to deer and grouse. Beaver, mink, marten,
fisher and otter are also abundant everywhere. Even the sections, such as Joe
Lake, where so many were taken out for years, have filled up again. No trapping
has been done by the rangers this year in accordance with instructions, and
no live animals of any kind shipped from the park. Wolves are numerous in
some sections despite the fact that the rangers wage constant warfare upon them,
and a great many deer are destroyed by these brutes. Our men have poison

124 REPORT OF THE No. 3

out for them wherever advisable and several have been taken. They come in
from north of the Ottawa River every fall, owing to the abundance of deer in
the park, and the ease in obtaining food. It is seldom the rangers get a chance
to shoot them, but a few are taken in that way. Poison, however, is the main,
and in fact the only successful way of getting them.

As a health resort, the Park is becoming very popular, and this year we
have had hundreds of visitors all through the season from all over Canada and
the United States, also many from abroad. The hotels have been filled to
overflowing all through the season. Fishing has been exceedingly good in all
sections, some very fine specimens of salmon trout and speckled trout having
been taken. The small-mouthed bass introduced into these waters by the
Department have proven a great addition and afford splendid sport to the
angler.

Apart from the revenue derived from fishing licenses, which this year
amounted to $1,919.00, there is a very large amount spent in the province by
the parties who visit the park, principally for the fishing, and I would strongly
recommend keeeping the lakes along the Grand Trunk Railway well stocked
each year so that there may be good angling for parties who cannot go far
afield.

While the primary object in setting aside this vast territory was the preserva-
tion of our Ontario fur-bearing animals, and I think this should always be kept
in mind in dealing with all subjects pertaining to the park, it has become so
popular with, not only the people of the province but with the whole of America,
that it is evident provision must be made to meet this growing desire of the
people to get close to Nature and become acquainted with the wood folk of our
Canadian woods. This is a healthy desire and I think well worth encouraging.
I would therefore recommend opening up the lakes adjacent to the railway for
leasing. Cache Lake is pretty well taken up, but there are the following lakes
that could be opened up: Rainy, Brule, Potter, Joe, Source, Lake of Two Rivers
and Whitefish. The Grand Trunk Railway touches all these lakes and the
timber has all been cut adjacent to them. This would meet the need for many
years to come.

We have a number of Boys' School Camps on different lakes, all of which
were well patronized this season. The Girls' School Camp, too, under the
management of Miss F. L. Case, of Rochester, located on Cache Lake, had
some seventy-five inmates for the summer.

Several new leases were applied for on Cache, Rock, Canoe and Joe Lakes,
and several cottager were erected.

Rents to the amount of $1,124.00 were collected here. This does not include
rents paid by the Grand Trunk and others direct to Toronto.

Regarding bush fires, we have been very fortunate. A number were
started along the railway but in all cases they were gotten under control before
any damage was done. In the north section they were not so fortunate, but
most of the portion burnt over had been cut out and fire had been over it before.
The fire tank here has been a great advantage, and I consider one should be
stationed at Brent, on the Canadian National Railway, under competent men.
This would very much minimize the danger from fires started along the right-
of-way, and it is from such fires we have suffered in the past. We seldom have
fires started by tourists and it is very gratifying to note the increased interest
taken by the people along these lines. The telephone system too has been a
great advantage in this and many other "ways.

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 125

Our staff during the summer months, when there is no danger from trappers,
act as fire rangers on their respective beats, cut out portages, repair and built
shelter-houses and see that the park regulations are observed in every way.

Some startling reports reach the Department from time to time regarding
laxity of the park staff and the large quantity of furs illegally taken out of the
park. This has especially been the case with each change of government, but
they will, as they have in the past, prove mostly untrue. I have no hesitation
in saying that the rangers do their work to the best of their ability and are
respected by all who have not a mean desire to make trouble. A great deal of
time has been spent in the past in running down such reports, generally to find
them either a matter of spite and wholly untrue, or cases of hearsay.

Considerable work was done on the Minnising Road, making it fit for a
car to travel, which was highly appreciated by the visitors who had to travel
it to Minnising Camp.

I, myself, reach the age set for retiring before the end of the coming year,
and while I feel quite competent to continue the work as I have for the past
twenty-three years, I am quite willing to retire or remain as the Government
may direct. I have given the best of my life to this work, and I assure you,
whether I am retired or not, I shall always take the deepest interest in Algonquin
Park. The people of Canada are only beginning to realize what a boon
it is to them not only as a game preserve and pleasure ground, but as the
preserver of the water supply of a large portion of the province, no less than
five rivers taking their head here.

The bass supplied from the Government hatcheries were this year planted
in Cache, Pollies and Lindies Lakes, and I would strongly recommend a like
number being sent next season, also some salmon and speckled trout for adjacent
lakes.

I have the honour to be. Sir,

Your obedient servant,

(Sgd.) G. W. Bartlett,

Park Superintendent.

The Honourable, the Minister oj Lands and Forests,
Toronto, Ontario.

Rondeau Provincial Park.

Morpeth P.O., Ont., October 31st, 1921.

Honourable Sir, — I beg to submit my report for the fiscal year ending
October 31st, 1921.

Rondeau Provincial Park, as a summer resort, is becoming more popular
each year, situated as it is at the extreme end of the town line between Harwich
and Howard Townships, about four miles south of the Talbot Road Provincial

126

Highway. Many tourists avail themselves of the opportunity of visiting our
beautiful park, and as it covers an area of about 5,000 acres and is thickly
wooded with all kinds of timber, it affords a great deal of interest and pleasure
to lovers of nature.

Both the Eau side and the Lake side are equally popular for the building
of cottages, and the surveyed lots on both sides are nearly all taken. Lots
have been in steady demand this last summer. Twenty-two new cottages
have been erected and twenty-six or more are to be built next season. There
are now between fifty and sixty cottages in the park.

Last summer a large number of people availed themselves of the tenting
privileges of the park, and many white tents were pitched in the shade of the
wide-spreading oaks, while some were up among the "Pines," about a mile up
the lake shore.

A certain amount of lumbering was done last winter by taking out dead and
deteriorated timber, which was sawn up into different grades of lumber, and will
be used for building and repairing whatever may be necessary in the park. As
we purchased a planer, this year we are able to put all our own material in shape
for building, as otherwise we would have to draw it a distance of 12 miles to get
it sized and dressed for use.

This providing of lumber ready to use made it possible for us to reconstruct
and repair the old pavilion into a new and up-to-date one, and it is now in good
condition for the use of the public in holding public gatherings or for convenient
shelter when needed.

One thing that was needed very much was the supplying of hot and cold
water to the public, A new building was therefore erected in which a hot water
system was installed. This has proved a great boon to the large picnics which
come here from great distances, as it has supplied all demands so far, being
equal to the occasion in the case of one of the largest picnics ever held here—
that of the Howard Councillors and U.F.O., which was held on the 26th of
August — the crowd being estimated at around 30,000. A large number of new
. tables and benches were also made this year and placed in the picnic grounds
for the convenience of the public.

As the park has been so well patronized this year, the public store and
restaurant did a thriving business, the largest of any previous year.

Last winter several hundred loads of gravel were drawn down the beach,
a distance of some four miles, to be used as needed for cement work and repairing
of roads. The roads are sandy and they need quite a lot of attention, as holes
are very easily worn in them by the constant traffic.

One feature which was an additional attraction to the park this year, was
the introduction of a good, well-equipped launch, built by a private party, and
used for excursions on Rondeau Bay, and also for running excursions to Erieau
and Erie Beach, as well as to other summer resorts to the west of Rondeau Park.
This is something that has been needed for some time, and it has proved very
popular.

We have had a fairly successful year in rearing pheasants and we have
supplied many eggs to people outside the park for propagation purposes.

The wild geese and wild turkeys do not increase in numbers very rapidly
as there are too many enemies to permit of the young birds coming to maturity.

Deer are very plentiful and are of considerable interest to the visitors.
The marshes contain great quantities of muskrat. Some trapping of these rats
is done from year to year.

130 REPORT OF THE No. 3

The colony of beaver is thriving, although it is impossible to give an estimate
of their number. Some new colonies are reported outside the park.

The wild duck season has been one of the best in years for lovers of that
sport, the ducks coming here by the thousand.

As Rondeau Park is so interesting in every way, those who have visited it
once wish to come again, and many communications are received every season
asking for accommodation. We can only assist a limited number, however,
by securing cottages from private parties who are willing to rent. But there
are a great number who wish hotel conveniences and there is nothing provided
for as yet in that line. We hope in the near future to see a modern summer hotel
erected which will provide ample accommodation and thus make Rondeau Park
a most popular and favorite resort.

Yours very truly,

(Sgd.) Geo. Goldworthy,

Superintendent Rondeau Provincial Park.

Appendix No. 44.

Toronto, Ont., October 31st, 1921.

Honourable Beniah Bowman,

Minister of Lands and Forests, Ontario.

Sir, — I have the honour to present the annual report of the work done by
the Colonization Roads Branch during the fiscal year ending October 31st,
1921, which in schedule form gives the details of each portion of work undertaken
and its cost.

, Construction and repair of roads and bridges was carried out as has been
•the case since the year 1909, first, by the direct expenditure of money by this
Branch, and second, by making grants to Municipalities passing Colonization
Roads By-laws authorizing expenditures upon certain of their roads. Grants
were also made to Municipalities passing by-laws for the purchase of road
machinery and for the salaries of Township Road Overseers.

Our total expenditure for the year was $506,180.80. Of this the sum of
$293,540.26 was expended directly by the Government on roads and bridges.
$176,154.04 was granted towards Colonization Roads By-laws, $2,553.52 towards
Machinery By-laws and $552.40 towards the salaries of Township Road Over-
seers. A further sum of $33,380.58 was expended on inspection of the work,
engineering, surveying and locating roads and other miscellaneous items.

The work carried on by direct expenditure through our Branch, embraced
75.29 miles of new road construction and 540 miles of old road improved, making a
total of 615.29 miles. 257.4 miles were surfaced and 62 bridges and 1,284 culverts
were constructed. With the assistance of the grants towards the Colonization

Roads By-laws, 42.01 miles of new road were constructed and 605.75 miles
of old road repaired or improved, 334.9 miles of this were surfaced and 61 bridges
and 1,260 culverts were built.

During the year several trunk and main roads were surveyed, and are now
being mapped. This work is very important and should be continued so that
we may have adequate records as to the location of the roads we have built

Wolf Lake, Shore Road,^ Frontenac County.

and reliable data as to the roads upon which we are contemplating construction
in the immediate future.

The labour situation during the latter part of the season approached the
normal conditions which existed before the war, and there is every indication
that so far as our work is concerned, normal conditions have arrived.

Superintendent Colonization Roads.

REPORT OF THE

No. 4

Gravenhurst-Bala Road, Muskoka District.

Appendix No. 45.

To the Honourable Beniah Bowman,

Minister of Lands and Forests, Ontario.

Sir, — I have the honour to submit to you the report on the construction
and maintenance of highways and bridges, under the provisions of the Northern
and North-western Ontario Development Act, 1912, and amendments during
the season ending 31st October, 1921.

The report has been prepared in tabulated form, which will be found more
convenient for reference, and the districts, or sub-districts, are given in alpha-
betical order, as follows:

1921-22

DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS

155

Algoma, Cochrane, Dryden, Englehart, Hearst, Kapuskasing, Kenora,
Matheson, Muskoka, Nipissing-Sudbury, Parry Sound, Porcupine, Rainy
River and Thunder Bay.

Trunk road construction and maintenance has received considerable
attention during the year and the section of the Northern Highway, from Toronto

Severn-North Bay Trunk Road.

to North Bay, under the jurisdiction of this Branch, has been placed in very
fair condition by the surfacing of the worst sections with either gravel or crushed
stone.

At North Bay this road connects with the Pembroke-Mattawa-Sault
Ste. Marie Road, on which many improvements and betterments were effected.

156

REPORT OF THE

No. 4

From Sault Ste. Marie eastward, this road is in excellent condition to a point
about twenty miles east of Mattawa, and two gangs were engaged in the con-
struction of the portion lying between Mattawa and Chalk River, which has
never been opened up. The route being followed is mainly a parallel line to
the Canadian Pacific Railway, connecting the various towns and villages. The
old construction trail was partially brushed and repaired to provide for local
traflfic pending the completion of the Highway.

The portion of the Province served by the T. & N.O. Railway, and lying
between North Bay and Cochrane, has no connection by road with Southern
Ontario, as the Northern Highway, before referred to, only extends to Widdifield,
a distance of about 12 miles north of North Bay. From this point to Latchford
(Mileage 92) there is a stretch of 80 miles with practically no settlement, lying

"Hymers Hill," Thunder Bay District.

largely within the Temagami Forest Reserve, and no effort has yet been made
in the direction of road construction in this area.

From Latchford northwards to Cochrane, there are a few stretches which,
when connected up, will provide a continuous highway from the one point to
the other. One of these stretches, from Krugerdorf to Swastika, was opened
up this year and although not quite completed, vehicular traffic has been made
possible between the Cobalt Silver Camp and the Kirkland Lake Gold Camp.
Surveys have been made of the remaining portions and preliminary steps taken
in regard to further construction.

From Porquis Junction to the Porcupine Gold Camp, approximately 25
miles of new trunk road was cut out to connect Porcupine and Timmins with
the Latchford-Cochrane trunk road, and when completed this road will link
up the Cochrane and Matheson Agricultural Districts with the mining camps
as well as the pulp and paper centre at Iroquois Falls.

The East and West Highway along the Canadian National Railway between

1921-22

DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS

157

Cochrane and Hearst, is only a series of disconnected stretches of road, at present
serving local purposes; additional pieces of construction were carried out and
the existing portions improved.

In North-western Ontario there are four sections with a large mileage of
roads in each, but without any connection the one with the other, viz.: Thunder
Bay, Kenora, Dryden and Rainy River.

Thunder Bay District has a well laid out road system, with the cities of
Fort William and Port Arthur as its centre. The five main or trunk roads are:
1. The Eastern Highway, which when completed will connect the Twin Cities
with Nipigon, and the route of this road follows closely along the Hydro-Electric
pole line as far as construction has progressed, and it is the intention to follow
the Hydro line until construction reaches Nipigon, except in the Dorion district,
where advantage will be taken of the roads already constructed in that vicinity.
H. The North-western Highway, known as the Dawson Road, from Port Arthur

Opening a new road, Rainy River District

to Kaministikwia. This road was practically reconstructed this year and
excellent returns given for the expenditure made. HI. The International
Highway, connecting the Twin Cities with the Minnesota State Road to Duluth
at Pigeon River. Many expensive betterments were made on this road and
satisfactory results obtained. A maintenance patrol system was adopted
whereby the entire highway was kept in repair and the surface preserved and
improved. IV. The Port Arthur Western Highway, known as the Oliver
Road, and V., the Fort William Western Highway, known as the Arthur Street
Road. These two roads carry a heavy traffic from the Twin Cities to Kakabeka
and the flourishing agricultural area west, and many improvements were carried
out in surfacing and road drainage.

In Kenora District the Town of Kenora is the hub of a series of roads,
each running to one of the outlying parts of the district. The Kenora-Keewatin
Road, which carries a heavy motor truck trafific, was resurfaced with crushed
stone and good results obtained. The Pellatt Road, Redditt Road, Charlesbois
Road, Ritchie Road, Homestake Mine Road and many others of less importance
all received attention during the year, and a new road was opened up connecting
the Pellatt Road with the Lulu Lake territory.

158

REPORT OF THE

No. 4

Bar River Bridge — Algoma District.

Typical Winter Scene, Temiskaming District.

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND F0RB:STS 159

In the vicinity of Dryden, which is a sub-district of Kenora, the Western
•Highway, which practically parallels the C.P.R., is the principal road, as it is
the base of the road system of the district. This road, as well as the northern
roads leading therefrom, to or in the direction of the C. N. Railway, received
considerable attention during the year, the main highway especially being now
in a very fair condition for automobile traffic.

The road system in the Rainy River District has as its base the trunk road
from Fort Frances to Rainy River, and the heavy traffic on this road, which
includes a motor bus plying between these points, called for a heavy expenditure
in maintenance and betterments. The road follows the Rainy River, which is
the Ontario-Minnesota boundary, and the country lying to the north of the
river being very closely settled for miles away from the river, there is a constant
demand not only for new roads, but for the improvement of the existing main
or leading roads to the base, on which is situated all the market centres, Devlin,
Emo, Barwick, Stratton, Pinewood, and other villages, being all situated on
the main Fort Frances- Rainy River Road. Each of these points demands and
requires a main artery running northwards, and all have received as good a
measure of attention as the appropriation would allow.

In conclusion I would add that a comparatively large portion of the appro-
priation for each district was this year expended in road drainage, and while
this expenditure does not show a great mileage of roads constructed, it would
give a large mileage of roads improved, as the maintenance cost on a well-
drained system of roads is reduced to a minimum in comparison to the cost on
poorly drained roads.

All of which is respectfully submitted.

I have the honour to be, Sir,

Your obedient servant,

C. H. FULLERTON,

Director, Northern Development Branch.
Toronto, Ont., October 31st, A.D. 1921.

196 REPORT OF THE No. 3

Appendix No. 46.
NEW LISKEARD DEMONSTRATION FARM. .

Work on the Farm during the past year consisted of the production of
120 acres of crop, and in the clearing of approximately 18 acres of new land.
On account of not having any farm buildings, it was not considered advisable
to carry on any field demonstration work, in the production of a variety of crops.
The Farm produced 60 acres of hay, and 60 acres of oats.

Practically all ploughing was done in the fall of 1920, with the exception
of 10 or 12 acres of new land; this was ploughed in the spring. Considering the
rather adverse growing season, the crops turned out very well.

The seeding of oats was commenced on the 18th of May, and concluded
on the 25th. We grew two varieties of oats, viz., O.A.C. No. 72, and O.A.C.
No. 3. The O.A.C. No. 3 gave the best results, matured earlier, filled better,
and weigh heavier. The No. 3 matured in 75 days from date of seeding. The
weight of a cleaned sample of this variety averages 37 pounds to the measured
bushel ; this is considered to be exceptionally good for the past year. On account
of having such a large crop, and owing to the necessity of having to stack same,
I deemed it advisable to sell 30 acres, standing in the field ; this left 30 acres to
be taken off by the farm.

We commenced cutting hay on the 10th of July, and before we had it
finished, we commenced cutting our O.A.C. No. 3 oats. The hay gave an
exceptionally good yield, especially the first cut of new hay, which was approx-
imately all clover. The entire 60 acres would average a ton and a half per acre.

The oats did not yield quite as well as last year, on account of drought,
the total yield being about 1,800 or 2,000 bushels.

About 40 acres of land have been ploughed this fall, for next year's crop.
This leaves us with between 90 and 100 acres of hay crop for next year.

I would urgently recommend that farm buildings be erected next year,
and that the farm be properly equipped with a small herd of good cattle, and
a few hogs.

I am firmly convinced that the farm can be made to fill a very important
need in this part of the district. Every year the Government distributes more
or less seed grain through this part of Northern Ontario, and it only seems
reasonable that the major part of this supply might be grown on the New
Liskeard Farm.

It is impossible, however, to carry on work of this kind successfully without
farm buildings.

Short Course and Seed Fair.

As in past years, the farm has co-operated with the Department of Agri-
culture in providing accommodation in the judging pavilion for holding a Short
Course and Seed Fair.

Our Short Course and Seed Fair was cgnducted last year in co-operation
with the International Harvester Company; Messrs. O'Grady Bros., of New
Liskeard, are agents for this firm. The course lasted four days, and we had an
attendance of from 100 to 150 each day. Following is a list in connection with
with the short course and Seed Fair:

Amount of Prize Money Paid Out $90 . 50

In conclusion, I wish to state that the Farm has had a quite successful
year, and has produced a very creditable crop, in view of the rather indifferent
growing season. One point I overlooked in speaking of our farm crops, was our
second growth crop of clover. We cut 30 acres of second crop, which avera:2:ed
about a ton per acre. It was one of the best second grow^th crops of hay that
I have ever seen.

All of which is respectfully submitted.

W. G. Nixon,

Agricultural Representative.

200 REPORT OF THE No. 3

ONTARIO GOVERNMENT CREAMERY.

New Liskeard, Ont., November 10th, 1921.

Honourable Beniah Bowman,

Minister of Lands and Forests,

Parliament Buildings, Toronto, Ontario.

Dear Sir, — ^I beg to enclose report of Creamery operations for the year
ending October 31st, 1921. While the amount of business done in the winter
months was somewhat disappointing, nevertheless we had a nice increase in the
amount of cream received during the latter six months. We took in a great deal
more than a year ago.

There was one noted difference in the past year after the first of May,
and that was the drop in the price of butter in one week of twenty cents per
pound. The difference between the lowest prices of fat last year and this year
was twenty-two cents per pound. The lowest last year was fifty-five cents,
and this year thirty-three. We had two hundred and thirty-six patrons the
past year, ranging in herds of cows from two to twenty. There have been a
few silos gone up the past summer, and prospects are for some more again this
coming year. There were some very good crops of corn and sunflowers grown
this year, and the second clover was exceptionally good, which kept the cows
in a good thrifty condition, and will no doubt help materially in giving extra
milk for the coming winter. During the past year, we received 297,567 pounds
of cream, and manufactured therefrom 96,981 pounds of butter, for which we
received $38,535.82 and paid patrons $32,716.96, at an average price for butter
fat for the year of 42.3 cents per pound.

I enclose a summary report of cream received, butter manufactured, money
received and paid out since commencing operations in August, 1917.

Lbs. Cream 1,135,743

Lbs. Butter 364 878

Value Butter $179,7^4.67

Paid Farmers $159,179.48

All of which I humbly submit.

A. MacLachlan,

Manager.

Seed Grain, Section 2(1).

The practice of providing seed grain for settlers in North and North-western
Ontario was continued in the spring of 1921. Acting in co-operation with the
District Agricultural Representatives, distributing stations were established
in the Districts of Rainy River (Emo), Thunder Bay (Port Arthur), Temis-
kaming (New Liskeard and Matheson), Sudbury (Sudbury), Kenora (Dryden),
Manitoulin Island (Gore Bay), Muskoka, Parry Sound and Nipissing (Hunts-
ville). The following quantities of seed were distributed: Oats, 4,568 bushels;
wheat, 378 bushels; barley, 428 bushels; clover, 5,870 pounds; alsike, 1,870

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 201

pounds; timothy, 8,831 pounds. This seed was suppHed, in accordance with
the provisions of the Northern and North-western Ontario Development Act
1915, to registered locatees or patentees. Those who did not pay cash at the
time of purchase executed a promissory note for the amount of the purchase,
with interest at 6 per cent., payable on 1st December, 1921, the note being
registered as a first charge against the property. The seed was purchased locally
wherever the local Agricultural Representative could obtain the requisite
quantity, of good quality and at an approved price.

Cattle Purchase, Section 2 (2).

The settlers in the northern part of the District of Temiskaming, in the
neighbourhood of the Provincial Demonstration Farm at Monteith, expressed
to the Superintendent there a desire to purchase a good class of cow, and asked
the assistance of the Government in obtaining cattle of the best type. The
Northern Development Branch purchased through the Farm Superintendent
one car load of cows, containing 18 head, obtained in the Powassan section,
and these were shipped to Monteith. The farmers in the district readily availed
themselves of the opportunity of procuring cows of good quality, and the whole
consignment was sold for cash at prices varying from $30 to $60, the total
receipts being sufficient to cover the cost of the transaction. The cattle have
proved eminently satisfactory.

Section 1 (D).

THE ASSISTANCE OF SETTLERS.

Re Feed Shortage.

The attention of the Department of Agriculture was drawn during the
summer of 1921, by the Representative at Gore Bay, to the devastation caused
upon Manitoulin Island by the unusual conditions of drought which had prevailed
throughout the spring and growing season. As a result, the fodder and grain
crops, which have been a source of pride to the farmers of the island in previous
years, were extremely small. The condition was intensified through a plague
of grasshoppers, which completed the destruction of whatever growth had sur-
vived the absence of moisture. The local farmers are noted as large producers
of cattle, sheep and hogs, and fears were entertained that unless Government
assistance was forthcoming, not only would there be no surplus of feed for
wintering the stock, but that the available fodder would not be sufficient to
meet their needs during the fall of 1921.

It was decided to assist the agricultural industry on the island by supplying
a quantity of hay, oats and corn to the farmers, to be paid for either in cash :
or by promissory note, executed by the purchaser and a guarantor. Arrange-
ments were made for this distribution to be done through the Northern Develop-
ment Branch under Section 1 (D) of the Northern and North-western Ontario
Development Act, 1912, and amendments.

202 REPORT OF THE No. 3

The quantities estimated to be required were: about 1,500 tons of hay,
27,000 bushels of oats, and 10,000 bushels of corn. The prices which farmers
were willing to pay were not to exceed $30 per ton for the hay, 75 cents per
bushel for the oats, and $40 per ton for corn. The hay was purchased in the
Bar River District, delivered by rail to Little Current; at Sault Ste. Marie,
delivered by scow to Gore Bay; at Lion's Head, delivered by boat to Providence
Bay; at Owen Sound, delivered by barge to Kagawong, and West Bay; and
from various points in the counties of Grey, Bruce and Huron, delivered to
Owen Sound, and thence transhipped in part by the Dominion Transportation
Company boats to Little Current, Gore Bay and Meldrum Bay; and as to the
larger proportion, special arrangements were made for collection and storage
on the dock at Owen Sound, and trans-shipment by tug and barges to various
docks on the island. The corn and oats were purchased at the elevators at
Tiffin and Midland; and this grain was shipped by the specially chartered tug
and barges used to transport the hay from Owen Sound.

Considerable difficulties were experienced in the transporting of the feed
to the Island. The necessity for importing such large quantities of fodder
was unprecedented, and the ordinary means of transportation were inadequate;
farmers from whom the hay was purchased were not anxious to dispose of their
stocks, owing to the general failure of crops throughout Ontario, and higher
prices were anticipated; bad weather during the shipping period interfered with
the arrangements made, and postponed delivery until the passage of heavily
laden barges across the Georgian Bay became hazardous and slow. The whole
of the shipping operations were, however, successfully concluded by the second
week in November. Agents were appointed at the various receiving docks,
and the feed was immediately available for distribution to the farmers.

The total quantities purchased were 1470 tons hay; 27,000 bushels No. 2
C W. inspected Oats; 13,571 bushels No, 2 Yellow inspected corn.

The prices charged to the farmers were: Hay, $29.00 per ton; corn, $1.77
per bushel, or $36.00 per ton; oats, 74 cents per bushel.

A feed shortage also became evident in the Mattawa District, towards
the end of the summer, and four carloads of hay, containing 43 tons, have
been shipped there, to partially meet the needs of the farmers in that locality.
This hay is being sold at the rate of $27.00 per ton, under the same conditions
as feed was supplied to Manitoulin Island.

The feed thus supplied to farmers in affected areas, has been of the greatest
benefit in enabling them to avoid disposing of their stock at greatly reduced
prices, and it is hoped that, with an average production in the season to come,
they will be re-established upon a normal basis.

206 REPORT OF THE No. 3

Appendix No. 47.

46 Richmond St. West,

Toronto, January 14, 1922.

To the Honourable, the Minister of Lands and Forests, Ontario.

Sir, — I have the honour to submit a report of the business of this depart-
ment to the end of October, 1921, as follows:

Total number of applications received for loans, 2,931, applying for
$1,162,864, an average of $396.75 per application, each case being considered
on its own merits, and loans advanced on the basis of improvements to land.

The total number of loans granted to settlers was 1,903, amounting to
$626,995.00, an average of $329.48. This includes an advance to the Sudbury
Co-Operative Creamery Co., Limited, $12,000.00, and a loan of $10,000.00 to
Kenora Dairy Co-Operative Association.

The repayments on account of loans has continued to be very satisfactory,
90 per cent, of the payments on account of interest having been made, and
96 per cent, of amount due on account of principal. Some loans have been paid
in advance. It is just a question if this good showing will continue, as a num-
ber of conditions are not just so favourable as in the past years, but there is
a sincere effort on the part of the settlers to live up to the terms on which the
loans were advanced.

Recently there have been a large number of applications received — no
doubt, due to the fact that settlers are forced to devote more time on their
own lots. Lack of other employment that formerly engaged their attention,
and that furnished quicker cash returns, is the reason.

Beg to direct your attention to the attached memorandum, giving details
of operations carried on, and it's a pleasure to be able to report that settlers
continue to express their appreciation for the loans received through this de-
partment, acknowledging the help it has been to them in many ways, par-
ticularly by enabling them to clear up land.

Reiort of Forestry Branch, 1921.

Sir, — The report of the work of this Branch for the year ending 31st October,
1921, is given under the sections of Forest Protection, Forest Investigation,
Reforestation, and Forest Pathology.

I. Forest Protection.

(I) Legislation.

No changes have been made in the Forest Fires Prevention Act since 1918.
The experiences of the past two seasons have indicated, however, that amend-
ments making fire-fighting compulsory and providing for jail sentences as
well as fines for certain infringements of the Act, are desirable. This latter
applies especially to the Permit Regulations.

(2) Organization and Personnel.

The supervision of the field force was carried on by one Forest Supervisor,
with headquarters at Kenora, and three Fire Inspectors, with headquarters
at Cochrane, Sudbury, and Parry Sound.

A re-arrangement of Chief Ranger Districts was made, and two more
Chief Rangers added to the staff, making a total of thirty-two, with fifty Deputy
Chief Rangers. This allowed direct field supervision on the basis of one deputy
or chief ranger to every thirteen rangers.

The average daily force was as follows: April, 22; May, 591; June, 1014;
July, 1,035; August, 1,027; September, 467; October, ii. The total number

208

REPORT OF THE

No. 3

of persons employed for at least a part of the season, was 1,228. Of these 142
resigned, and 69 were dismissed. <(*

Owing to the fire season being early, over half the staff (568) were on duty
by the middle of May, and by the end of the month the number had risen to
962. On the fifteenth of June, the total number on the pay roll was 1,014; on
the first of July, 1,022; on the fifteenth of July, 1,036; on the first of August,
1,029, and on the fifteenth of August, 1,034. By the end of August, however,
it was possible to discontinue several patrols, so that the total number of men
on duty was reduced from 1,034 to 977 between the middle and the end of
August. On the fifteenth of September, there were only 533 men on duty,
and by the end of the month this number had been reduced to 78, practically
all of those left being engaged in repairing equipment and finishing up certain
local improvements.

As stated in previous reports, one of the chief factors mitigating against
a successful controlling of forest fires in Ontario, is the impermanency of the
personnel. Fire-ranging is a specialized line of work, requiring special training,
and until a permanent organization of trained men is built up, progress will
be slow.

(3) Expenditure.

The expenditure for the fiscal year was $610,534.74, classified as below,
with the figures for the preceding years given for comparison. Against this
expenditure, protection accounts for the year totalled approximately $181,047.32.

(4) Fires.

There was very little snow in the winter of 1920-21 and this disappeared
very early in the spring. Then followed very unusual weather conditions,
practically no rain falling in some districts until August, and in others not until
September. Because of this early hazard it was necessary to place the full
ranging staff on duty as fast as possible.

Of the total number of fires, settlers were responsible for 122, or 9.6 per cent.
A large part of these (45) were permit fires which for various reasons were
allowed to get beyond control. Included in this 122 were also 11 fires set without
permits, and in connection with which court proceedings were instituted.
Convictions were secured in ten instances, the penalties ranging all the way
from a fine of ten dollars and costs to one hundred dollars and costs, and in
one case a sentence of thirty days' hard labor was imposed.

The number of fires known to be caused by campers was 112, or 8.8 per
cent of the total.

The number of fires directly attributed to railways, with a total of 4,951
miles within the Fire Districts of the Province, was 188, or 14.8 per cent, of
the total number from all causes, a decrease in the percentage of 9.1 per cent,
over 1920, and 34.7 per cent, over 1917. This decrease is due largely to the
increased attention given to locomotive inspection by our staff.

The fires of railway origin were distributed as follows:

Lightning is credited with starting 139 fires, or 11.0 per cent, of the total
number of all fires, a decided increase over previous years, due no doubt to the
occurrence of many electrical storms, which were accompanied by little or no
precipitation, and fires which ordinarily would have been extinguished by the
rain without making themselves apparent, were able this year to gain con-
siderable headway. Fires from this source were restricted largely to a few
regions, especially the Algonquin Park district, where 47 of the 139 lightning
fires occurred.

A total of 749,534 acres were reported burned over, more than twice the
area burned over in 1920, due largely to the exceptional weather conditions
prevailing throughout the season. This acreage was classified as below:

As the table shows, the area of timber land burned over this season was
13.2 per cent, of the total area burned, slightly lower than the figure for last
year, and considerably lower than the figure for 1919.

1921-22

DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS

211

Land which had been cut over, but upon which there was some timber
left, and land upon which young growth existed, formed 25.5 and 20.2 per cent,
respectively of the area burned. It is upon these two classes of land that we
must depend to a large extent for our future timber crop, and the importance
of protection on these areas can not be too strongly emphasized. Until a
systematic system of brush disposal is inaugurated in connection with logging
operations, little can be accomplished in the protection of these cut-over areas.

The high percentage of barren and grass land burned over is due to the
large areas of swamps and muskegs burned, the season being so dry that these
swamps, and muskegs became quite inflammable, a rather. unusual occurrence.

REPORT OF THE

No. 3

(5) Permits.

Permits were issued in 139 townships, as compared with 123 townships
in 1920 and 136 townships in 1919. A total of 5,966 permits were issued, cover-
ing an area of 23,678 acres, 158 permits less than were issued in 1920.

As shown in the tables below, the greatest number of permits were issued
in the districts of Matheson, Cochrane, and Hearst. Most of the burning
under permit was done during the month of June, 3,085 permits being granted,
with 1,329 in September and 1,154 in May. During the month of July, it was
necessary, in some districts, to prohibit burning, owing to the exceptionally
dry weather.

(6) Equipment.

The most important addition to our equipment this season was ten port-
able fire-fighting pumps. These pumps are supplied with from 500 to 1,000
feet of hose, and have proved of inestimable value in fire-fighting. There were
also purchased 168 pairs of blankets, 29 canoes, 51 tents, 12 railway velocipedes,
2 railway motor cars, and 2 power boats, one 18 feet and the other 27 feet in
length.

(7) Railway Inspection under B.R.jO.

No change was made in the organization of the inspection of fire protective
appliances on railway locomotives, two inspectors devoting their whole time
to this work.

A total of 41 round-houses was visited, and 1,526 locomotive inspections
made, covering 672 locomotives, as against 1,288 inspections in 1920 on 659
locomotives. The above table shows that not only has the number of inspec-
tions increased each year, but the percentage of locomotives found defective
has steadily decreased from 32.1 per cent, in 1918 to 8.3 per cent, in 1921; and
in keeping with this, the percentage of fires definitely attributed to railways
has decreased from 46.5 per cent, in 1918 to 14.8 per cent, this year.

The average cost per inspection in 1921 was $1.70, as compared with $1.86
in 1920, and $2.07 in 1919.

II. Forest Investigation.

Ottawa-Huron Survey. — This season the work of forest reconnaissance of
the Province was continued, and the country within the fire district south of
the French and Ottawa Rivers completed, the settled parts of Parry Sound
and Muskoka excepted.

216 REPORT OF THE No. 3

For the purposes of comparison, the surveyed area is divided into seven
districts, namely, Algonquin Park, Ottawa Valley, Renfrew, Madawaska,
Muskoka, Parry Sound, and Georgian Bay. Of these, Madawaska was, in
part, covered the previous summer (1920) by three forestry graduates, and
the results of both surveys are included in the figures of this report. It may
be explained that the boundaries of these districts do not correspond with
the existing municipal boundaries, except in the case of Algonquin Park.
Ottawa Valley is taken as the fringe of country between the Park and Ottawa
River. Renfrew includes those portions of Nipissing and Renfrew counties
south-east of the Park. Madawaska takes in northern and eastern Hastings
and the northerly portions of Frontenac and Lennox and Addington. Muskoka
refers only to a small north-eastern part of that district. Georgian Bay is
applied to the western portion of Parry Sound and Muskoka districts. Parry
Sound covers the remainder of Parry Sound district, except the central north
and south alienated strip. Trent refers to northern Peterborough and central
and western Hastings.

In order to fully understand this report, a few remarks on the subject of
ownership conditions will be necessary.

Ownership. — Of the total area, about 65 to 70 per cent, remains in the
Crown. In the Algonquin Inspectorate (Algonquin Park, Ottawa Valley,
Renfrew), this represents approximately 90 per cent, of the total area. Here,
the patented lands exist as a fringe of varying width along the Ottawa River
front, and as more or less solid masses with intervening and scattered Crown
lands, in Renfrew. In the Georgian Bay Inspectorate (Georgian Bay, Parry
Sound, Muskoka), Crown lands comprise 60 per ceni. of the total area. The
bulk of these are located in a solid block in the north-east sector and on the
shores of Georgian Bay; the remainder are found in the south-east sector, along
the eastern border of the Inspectorate and adjacent to Algonquin Park. In
the Trent Inspectorate (Madawaska and Trent), the distribution of Crown
and patented lands is quite different. Instead of being located in separate
localities, the Crown lands are interspersed throughout the area in blocks of
up to 30 or 40 square miles, surrounded and cut off by the holdings of settlers.
Thus we have many smaller forests, more or less set off by themselves,, with
agricultural land in between.

Land under license comprises 9,587 square miles, of which the Algonquin
Inspectorate forms 55.6 per cent., Parry Sound 26.1 per cent., and Trent In-
spectorate 18.3 per cent. This relation bears a striking resemblance to the
timbered areas yet containing commercial supplies within the Inspectorates,
as out of a total of 1,507,539 acres, Algonquin forms 58.5 per cent.. Parry Sound
24.7 per cent., and Trent 16.6 per cent.

The diversity of ownership conditions within the Inspectorate, indicating,
as they do, the relative occurrence of timber or young growth, will undoubtedly
call for different forms of forest management.

In the survey proper, the following will, in brief, describe the classification
used, the methods employed, and some of the results obtained. Further in-
formation, regarding composition of parties, routes, cost of survey, dates,
etc., is given in the appendix.

Field Work. — Forest type maps were prepared in the field, delimiting
cleared land from barrens and forest. The forest area was differentiated into
hardwood, coniferous and mixed types, with the poplar-birch type separated
from the other hardwoods. The first three types were classified as to condi-

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 217

tion, namely, virgin, moderately culled, severely culled, second growth, and
young growth. The poplar-birch stands were thrown into two groups, on the
basis of whether white pine reproduction was in evidence or not. The mixed
type was defined as containing more than 20 per cent, numerically of either
hardwood or conifers among the dominants. Young growth corresponds to
saplings up to 4 inches; second growth to polewood above 4 inches.

On these maps, showing forest types and conditions, there were also placed
roads, trails, abandoned roads, railway lines, existing telephone lines, water-
shed boundaries, and good locations marked for lookout points for fire ranging
use. Along with this field mapping, information was compiled by townships,
covering such points as present fire hazards, location and number of male help
available for fire fighting, wood-using industries and mills in existence, nature
and extent of other industries such as farming, mining, game and fish, tourist
traffic, population, general suitability of the area for agriculture, etc.

From Calabogie, two parties commenced work on the settled sector south-
east of Algonquin Park (Renfrew). With this completed, a third party was
formed, and all three followed respective railway lines — C.P.R., C.N.R., G.T.R.
— thence along the Ottawa River and through the Park. On the completion
of the Algonquin Park area, one party struck across-country from Trout Creek
to C.N.R., and south, so covering the Parry Sound sector. The other two
parties attacked the Georgian Bay sector, one party following the C.P.R. north
from Parry Sound, and the other travelling south by launch and canoe.

Effective use of Ford cars in the more settled sections of Ottawa Valley,
Parry Sound, Renfrew, Madawaska, and of canoes in Algonquin Park and Georg-
ian Bay sectors, combined to speed up the work and minimize waste of power
and energy.

Sixteen forestry students were employed in the summer's work, working
under the immediate direction of Messrs. G. M. Dallyn, P. McEwen, and
W. A. Delahey of this Branch. Two parties of eight and one of three formed
separate camps. The method of work was by foot, with distances computed
by pacing. Men worked in pairs. Each pair was given a block of territory
to cover, involving about twenty miles travelling, daily. This may mean an
area from nine to fifteen square miles, depending on the nature of the settle-
ment, i.e., existing roads, etc., and topography. Boundaries of forest types
were checked from lookout sites. Railways, junction of roads, surveyed lakes,
rivers, lot lines, served as tying in points, and in less settled districts, compass
triangulation was employed.

In all, 7,682,518 acres were examined at a cost of one-quarter of a cent
per acre.

Forest Composition. — Of 7,213,372 acres of land investigated in 1920 and
1921, 79.2 per cent, is forested, 10.9 per cent, is barren, and 9.9 cleared. Lakes
form an additional area of 469,146 acres, or 6.1 per cent, of the total area
examined.

First, let us discuss the composition of the forest area. The comppsition
of the forested area (5,710,291 acres) is made up of 36.6 per cent, mixed; 22.4
per cent, poplar-birch: 19.1 per cent, hardwood; 18.2 per cent, poplar-birch-
coniferoup; and 3.7 per cent, coniferous. The mixed type occupies over one-
half of the forested area in each of Algonquin Park, Parry Sound, and Georgian
Bay districts, and these contain 73.2 per cent, of the total mixed forest. The

218 REPORT OF THE No. 3

remaining sectors have relatively more cleared land, an older logging history,
a consequent longer fire record and therefore, a much smaller proportion of
this desirable composition.

Of the forested area, 2,319,334 acres, or 40.6 per cent., represents combina-
tions of poplar and birch, with and without conifers. Of this, 44.8 per cent,
contains a noticeable pine admixture. In the unsettled timbered areas of
Algonquin Park and Parry vSound, this type represents but one-fifth of the
forested land, whereas in the remaining settled sections, it represents one-third.

3.7 per cent., or 206,935 acres, were classified as coniferous forests. Almost
one-half of this is, again, located in Algonquin Park.

Hardwoods cover 19.1 per cent., or 1,097,419 acres, of the forest. This
type usually represents a culled virgin, mixed stand, the conifers having been
largely removed. This condition is particularly noticeable in the Muskoka
region, representing here, one-half the forest. In Algonquin Park, Parry
Sound and Madawaska, one-fifth, and in the Ottawa, Georgian Bay sectors,
one-twentieth of the forest is so classified.

Conditions. — The following outstanding features in the various forest
conditions may be of interest. Only 26.4 per cent, of the present total forest
area is virgin or moderately culled, that is, one-quarter of the forested area
contains commercial timber, represented by 51.5 per cent, mixed, 45.1 per
cent, hardwood, and only 3.4 per cent, coniferous composition. Algonquin
Park contains three-fifths, Parry Sound one-fifth, of the mixed, while, of the
hardwoods, Algonquin Park contains one-half and Madawaska one-quarter.

Areas classed as severely culled form 10.6 per cent, of the forest, and in-
clude a diversity of conditions, mainly due to the almost inevitable fire follow-
ing the logger. This may be represented by alternate patches of young growth
and small stands of timber, or by second growth stands with scattered mature
trees of indififerent character. This type of forest presents a particularly vicious
fire hazard to commercial stands, owing to the accumulated slash following
recent logging operations. This condition is particularly true of the Parry
Sound district, where one-fifth of the forest was so classified.

Second growth in the mixed-hardwood -coniferous forests covers 18.7 per
cent, of the forest area, or 1,066,556 acres. Four-fifths of this is mixed composi-
tion— a satisfactory condition of reproduction— 36.2 per cent, of which is found
in Algonquin Park.

Young growth in the mixed-hardwood-coniferous forest is represented by
210,296 acres, or 3.7 per cent, of the forested area. Of this, 64.8 per cent, is
mixed composition, over three-fifths of which is found in the Georgian Bay
sector.

Second growth poplar-birch stands occupy 529,555 acres, or 9.3 per cent,
of the forested area. 73.0 per cent, of this contains a coniferous admixture —
mainly white pine — of which Algonquin Park comprises 41.6, Ottawa Valley
28.9, and Madawaska 21.7 per cent., while Georgian Bay, Parry Sound, and
Madawaska districts, together, only represent 1.9 per cent, of this type. There
remain 143,317 acres where conifers are not noticeably present. With this
type of forest, there is usually present an understudy of balsam or hemlock,
and in the more open stands, pine. The future of such forests is, therefore,
relatively satisfactory, always providing fire is kept out.

Young growth of poplar-birch type occupies 1,789,779 acres, or 31.3 per
cent, (almost one-third), of the total forest. Of this, 36.9 per cent, has con-
iferous admixture of which Madawaska contains 64.3 per cent. One-fifth of

1921-22

DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS

219

the total forested area is then in a semi-barren condition, supporting, in the
main, poplar-birch degenerates with an occasional fire-scarred pine.

Of the total area, barrens occupy 10.9 per cent., or 790,092 acres, a pitiful
representation of the original pinery. This condition is most pronounced in
the Madawaska and Georgian Bay sectors.

Cleared land comprises 9.9 per cent., or 712,989 acres. Of this, the settled
district south of Algonquin Park, represents 76.9 per cent. ; Ottawa Valley and
Parry Sound, together, 21.3; while, in Algonquin Park and Georgian Bay, we
find only 1.8 per cent. From the nature of the country, the presence of so many
abandoned farms, and the general appreciation of most of this sector as a crop-
producing area, it is not likely that the present percentage of cleared land will
increase.

Summary. — A study of these pages reveals the fact that, as a result of
logging operations and repeated fires, over 60 per cent, of the original forest
— which was of a mixed or coniferous character — is now occupied by less desir-
able types, and instead of the former pineries, occupying one-half the area,
we find only 3.1 per cent, thus occupied, pine having been superseded by poplar-
birch and barrens on the remaining areas.

In summing up, the conditions over the whole area, excluding cleared
land, are shown in the following table.

In the above table, the potential forest land is classified as follows: Tim-
ber, i.e., virgin and moderately culled areas, 23.3 per cent.; cordwood and
distillation material or severely culled areas, 9.3 per cent.; second growth,
24.6 per cent.; young growth, 30.7 per cent.; and barrens, 12.1 per cent.

From this we can see the varied character of the relationship of the forest
conditions in the various districts, for example, in Algonquin Park, we find
44.2 per cent, timber, 35.3 per cent, second growth, with only 8.3 per cent,
young growth; while in the Madawaska, only 13.9 per cent, timber land re-
mains, second growth occupying 19.4 per cent., with young growth representing
almost 50 per cent, of the area. It also shows, in the case of Muskoka district,
practically no intermediate or second growth.

The outstanding feature of the present condition of these 6,500,000 acres.
as a whole, is the undesirable transformation by the agency of fire after logging,
The three types — poplar-birch with coniferous reproduction, the poplar-birch
without, and the barrens — represent, in general, logged-over areas burned an

increasingly large number of times, and were once largely occupied by pine. In
addition, we may assume that the present areas, classed as mixed young and
second growth, were formerly largely pine. These several classes now occupy
62.3 per cent, of the potential forest area, where once pine stands predominated.

It is of interest to note the future outlook as regards the next crop of soft-
wood saw timber on this large area of over four million acres. We may fairly
assume that a relatively satisfactory reproduction of pine occurs on the area
now occupied by immature mixed growth — 15.1 per cent. Of the remainder, a
partial pine restocking occurs only on the areas typed as poplar-birch-conifer-
ous, or 15.8 per cent. The balance (31.4 per cent.), typed as poplar-birch and
barrens and totalling 2,072,719 acres, is without hope of coniferous growth.
This condition is most prevalent in the more settled districts, like Madawaska
and Renfrew, and in the sparsely settled Georgian Bay sector, through which
two railway lines run. The worst sector is that of Renfrew, adjoining the
timbered region of Algonquin Park.

The above represents the universal history of forest areas after logging.
Until brush disposal accompanies all logging operations, this degeneration of
forest growth will go on.
, Appended are the detailed tables.

248 REPORT OF THE No. 3

Aerial Forest Survey. — The survey covered by the following report
was undertaken by the Ontario Forestry Branch in co-operation with the Can-
adian Air Board for the purpose of determining the possibility of using air
craft in connection with forest field work, and was carried on from Sioux Look-
out, a western divisional point on the north line of the C.N.R. (G.T.P.), from
March to October of the current year. During this time approximately 10,000
square miles was worked over, comprising in general the territory lying be-
tween the G.T.P. railway and the Lake St. Joseph - Lac Seul - English River
waterway, from the Manitoba boundary east to the foot of Lake St. Joseph.

1. Personnel. — One station superintendent and pilot, two pilots, one chief
mechanic, one storesman, one photographer, two engine fitters, one rigger,
one boat builder, one clerk-stenographer, one cook and one cookie, furnished
by the Air Board. The Forestry Branch observers were one forester and one
student assistant.

2. Equipment. — One F.3. Flying Boat, two H.S.2.L. Flying Boats, one small
motor boat, one row boat, four box cars (used for photographic dark room and
store room, sleeping quarters, office, cookhouse and storage), technical stores
and photographic equipment including two wind motors, two vertical aerial
cameras (Kodak Company Type K.L), one oblique camera, and one ground
camera.; compasses, chains, calipers, etc., and general office equipment.

3. Characteristics of Machines. — Some details of the more important char-
acteristics of the types of air craft used, is perhaps necessary at this point for
a correct comprehension of operating conditions.

The F.3. Flying Boat is a very large British machine, measuring over
one hundred feet along the leading edge of the top plane; is capable of carrying
up to a dozen men, and can fly for over six hours without refueling. Air speed
is from seventy to eighty knots (80 to 90 miles per hour) and time to reach
five thousand feet about thirty minutes. Although the splendid visibility
from the observer's cockpit and the machine's ability to remain in the
air for such a long time, were both points in favor of its use for the sum-
mer's work, such advantages in the air were more than offset by the difficulty
of manoeuvring on the comparatively small lakes of the district. The machine
was, therefore, the opportunity arising, exchanged for a third H.S.2.L. with
the Victoria Beach (Lake Winnipeg) Air Station.

The H.S.2.L. is a Flying Boat of American design, considerably smaller
than the F.3., seventy feet across the leading edge of the top plane; is capable
of carrying up to five men, and of flying for about three and one-half hours
without refueling. Air speed is between fifty-five and sixty-five knots (60 to
70 miles per hour), with time to climb three thousand feet about forty-five
minutes. It will thus be seen that the H.S.2.L. has not as good a performance
as that of the larger F.3. It has, however, advantages. Visibility from the
observer's cockpit is better, and as it has only one engine and the F.3. requires
two for sustained flight, the chances of trouble from this source are practically
halved. But it is on the water, and not in flight, that the H.S.2.L.'s peculiar
advantages become apparent. Here the machine is comparatively easy to
manoeuvre, and because of its sturdy construction — which is, no doubt, largely
responsible for its poor performance — can venture landings on unknown beaches
and, in general, withstand, much better than a more finely built machine, the
accidental ill-treatment which inevitably occurs under field conditions.

4. Working Conditions. — Weather, the lack of local arrangements in con-
nection with the establishment of an Air Station and finally the erecting,

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 249

launching and testing the machines did not permit of regular flying until late
in May. From the outset, as had been confidently expected, it was apparent
that, largely because of the simple composition of the forest in this latitude,
type mapping could be carried on without further experience, in so far as the
separation of timber species and barren areas was concerned. These first
flights served also to show, what was amply borne out by subsequent exper-
ience, that the country presented a very excellent flying chance, being liberally
sprinkled with fairly large and well-connected lakes and free from any great
land elevations. Thus, the limitations of low performance were largely offset,
making it possible to fly with confidence and safety literally anywhere; and it
should be borne in mind that the successful operation of low performance
machines cannot be counted on without such favorable conditions. Flying
and forest conditions having thus been found suitable, and as the separation of
timber types and non-commercial areas was all the information required over
a large area, typing on this basis was commenced about June 4, and carried on
during the remainder of June and July. Weather conditions were ideal for
flying, so that by August 2, the mapping of some fifty thousand square miles
was completed to show the following types:

(1) Coniferous stands, 75 per cent, of better coniferous species;

(2) Mixed stands, less than 75 per cent, hardwood;

(3) Burned-over areas partially restocking.

5. Mapping Methods. — The system of mapping outlined below, was also
developed during this period, and was used throughout the season.

The region being entirely unsurveyed — it might be said unexplored, if the
main canoe routes of the Hudson Bay Company were excluded — township
sheets for field sketching were not available, and it became necessary to pre-
pare field sheets. This was done by plotting the information recorded on the
eight mile to the inch Dominion Standard Topography Sheet for the region,
to a suitable scale, the scale finally adopted being one inch to the mile. Field
sheets, prepared as above, were attached to a drawing board and taken into
the air. Here, just as in ground work, the chief consideration in mapping is
to locate and orient the map. On the ground, by recognized survey methods,
this can be done either by scaling off a known distance on the line being run
and orienting by compass and back sight, or by orienting and intersecting for
position on points whose location is already known. In the air, location, in
the past season's operations and under aerial conditions generally, cannot be
had by the use of the most orthodox ground method, i.e., traveling on a line
whose length and direction are known. It should not be inferred from this
that aerial navigation is discredited, but it requires the constant attention of
a skilled navigator, besides the pilot, supplied with an assortment of complicated
instruments. Moreover, calculations are necessary, even with the fullest
instrumental equipment at present available; and the delay thus entailed,
however small, is a distinct drawback in aerial sketch work. On the other
hand, because of the greater number of such features, which can be seen at
one and the same time, position by reference to known physiographic features
can be obtained in flight more rapidly, accurately and easily than in the great
majority of cases on the ground. On the same basis and for similar reasons,
type lines can also be drawn in flight at a distinct advantage. In consideration
of the foregoing, mapping, during the past season, was carried on almost ex-
clusively by reference.

250 REPORT OF THE No. 3

6. Results. — The mapping of the area mentioned above, which had been
originally considered a season's work, having been completed in less time than
expected (August 2), and the method and results having proved so satisfactory,
plans were made for an extension of the survey. It was decided not only to
continue typing of the adjoining territory, but also to attempt a classification
of the three composition types into age or size classes.

By October 12, when weather conditions stopped field work, an additional
area of almost equal size, bringing a total for the season up to approximately
10,000 square miles, was mapped to show in the three composition types, men-
tioned above, four size classes, viz.:

(1) Mature stands, at least 75 per cent, of trees of commercial size.

(2) Pole wood stands, not over twenty-five per cent, of commercial

size.

(3) Sapling growth, no trees of commercial size.

(4) Reproduction, not over 3 feet in height.

This was worked out by landings to relate the appearance from the air
to the actual condition of the stand as determined by ground work. Wherever
possible, during such landings, sample plots of the types were laid out and
measurements recorded. Results in this connection were extremely gratifying,
and in twenty-one landings, a total for the season, including thirteen where
sample plots were taken, no single case occurred in which the aerial cla»3ifica-
tion differed materially from conditions as actually found on the ground.

The 10,000 square miles (6,400,000 acres) mapped, showed the forest
condition as a whole to be approximately one-quarter of the coniferous type,
one-third of the mixed type, and the remainder a burned-over type more or
less restocking.

The coniferous type was defined as 75 per cent, or better coniferous, the
species being white and black spruce, jack pine and balsam. The mixed type
consisted of these species with poplar and birch. The original attempt to
dififerentiate poplar-birch stands, as a separate type, proved not feasible. The
burned-over type included only those areas where the second growth is mainly
still below commercial size; it was estimated that three-quarters of such areas
are restocking in some degree.

While opportunities for ground study were very limited, as can be seen
by the small number of sample plots below, a few general remarks may be of
interest.

The species composition, throughout the whole area covered, is very simple.
Jack pine, black and white spruce, balsam, birch and poplar make up over
ninety per cent, of the tree growth. White cedar occurs frequently in a dwarfed
condition along the lake and river margins. Red maple, American elm, and
black ash occurred occasionally. The proportion of white and red pine is very
much less than the favorite method of travel in the country — that is, by water
— would indicate. South of the G.T.P., red and white pine occur very fre-
quently on lake and river margins, and from the main line of the C.P.R. be-
come rapidly prominent, until at the international boundary, they are found
interspersed with birch and poplar in extensive stands and splendid develop-
ment. North of the G.T.P. (the region to which this survey relates) however,
they rapidly disappear, even on small islands and lake shores; and the most
northerly point at which white pine was noted, is not far from Sioux Lookout,
on the English River, above Lac Seul. It is, however, highly probable that
scattered blufTs and fringes would be found on the more southerly portions of

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 251

this lake, although a landing on the north-east shore showed no signs of the
species, either on the shore or islands. Red pine is known to occur somewhat
farther north, a bluff of perhaps five acres being noted at the head waters of
the Albany drainage, on a sandy slope between Upper and Middle Green Grass
Lakes. Unlike a species approaching its climatic limit, these northerly spec-
imens of both white and red pine retain to a very marked degree, the vigorous
appearance of their race and indeed appear to be much less affected by ad-
verse climatic conditions than the other regional species. The above circum-
stances and the occurrence of these trees in isolated clumps, lend color to the
tradition which is common among the lumbermen and early settlers of this
region, that their commercial range at one time extended much further north
— indeed, to Hudson Bay — and that the present distribution is due to a wide-
spread fire or series of fires occurring from fifty to one hundred and fifty years
ago. That fire would wholly consume every trace of such a forest over such
an area seems improbable. Whatever the composition of the forest may have
been in former times however, it would appear that the present species compos-
ition, if undisturbed, will, within a single generation of trees, show a tremendous
increase in the percentage of balsam fir. Everywhere, on all sites and under
dominant stands of every species, one is impressed by the prevalence and thrifty
growth of balsam reproduction, which often forms a complete waist or knee-
high canopy, almost totally weeding out rival reproduction and even under-
growth.

There is in this northern forest ample evidence of the severity of the climate.
Mature stands of white spruce, which is the largest timber tree in the region,
are almost invariably filled with the trunks and debris of wind-thrown speci-
mens. This is believed to be due however, not so directly to the severe wind
storms of the region, as to the weakening of trunks due to a very widespread
condition of heartrot. In this connection, one may record that frost crack
is extremely common. While such destruction is .perhaps most easily seen
in the case of mature white spruce, it is also to be found in mature stands of
all the timber species; more particularly in the northern part of the region
covered. Under such conditions, stands below maturity, produce far more
and more valuable timber.

It is believed, too, that the effects of climate can be seen in the behaviour
of the reproduction, more particularly as Lake St. Joseph is approached. Areas
in this region, when burned over, very frequently pass through a somewhat
different cycle than that obtaining for similar sites under more favorable clim-
atic conditions. South of Lake Nippissing, for example', such sites are within
three or four years, completely covered with a growth of tree seedlings typ-
ically poplar and birch. Here, however, although sites and chances of seeding,
etc., seemed at least to be equally favorable, such areas very frequently were
found with willow, alder, and other shrubby growths among which reproduction
of tree species was sparsely interspersed.

7. Aerial Photography. — As aerial photography is a highly specialized
process requiring definite equipment for definite objects, it could only be used
experimentally during the past season. With this in view, some twenty-two
hundred vertical and three hundred oblique exposures were made.

As pictures, oblique aerial exposures are, perhaps, more interesting and,
at first sight, more instructive than verticals, being readily comparable to
ground views from high buildings and land elevations. As the camera pro-
ducing them is a fairly simple instrument, they are also easier to obtain. Such

252 REPORT OF THE No. 3

pictures are valuable as permanent records of important aerial observations
and as a substitute for lengthy descriptions of forest conditions. For mapping
purposes, however, they are of little use.

Vertical pictures, on the other hand, while they are not artistic or interest-
ing at first sight as pictures, can be used for mapping and type classifying.
The cameras making such exposures are, however, delicate and complicated
instruments. In operation, they are fixed to the machine, and can be made
to produce, either automatically or by a simple operation, exposures at such a
rate that each succeeding exposure will cover a certain proportion (greater or
less as desired) of the territory covered by the exposure preceding it. By thus
including a part of one picture in another — or "overlapping" — it becomes
possible to "join" one to another and build up a composite picture containing
any number of single exposures. The accurate joining of two pictures of this
kind is not, however, as simple a matter as might be supposed from the fore-
going, which takes no account of the motion of the machine during exposure.
Such motion, the effects of which must be corrected by dark room work and
which might be compared to that of a ship — sometimes slowly rising and falling,
as if riding on the long, gentle swell of an aerial ocean ; sometimes rolled sharply
from side to side or pitched fore and aft — continually and unavoidably violates
the requirements for exact similarity in the scale of overlapping pictures —
namely, that exposure be made at exactly the same height and with fore and
aft and lateral axis either level or at the same degree of departure from level.
While the differences arising from the above causes are usually small in each
separate case, the total efi^ect over a series of hundreds of pictures may pro-
duce great inaccuracy. Nor is the motion of the machine the only element
affecting the accuracy of aerial photographic survey, for even in perfectly built
up strips, where point has been made to correspond with point exactly in the
overlap, there is still the error due to the natural differences in ground eleva-
tion. Unfortunately, such errors require for their correction, besides labor-
atory work, a certain amount of ground survey work, which shall be visible
in the picture and whose details can be plotted and used as a check. Errors
arising from the foregoing however, do not have to be seriously reckoned with
in a flat country, and where absolute accuracy is not essential.

Results of this year's work would indicate that satisfactory pictures can
be produced which will show sufficient detail to separate types; but it would
appear that before this possibility can be utilized to any great extent, it will
be necessary to accumulate a photographic reference library of known forest
growths as a basis of comparison, and also to devise a satisfactory method of
joining the strips of pictures to one another to make a mosaic. Such joining
is not a matter of the operation of a mechanical device, as in the joining of
successive pictures to make a strip, but is dependent on the ability of the pilot
to fly his machine along evenly spaced parallel courses, so as to cause the long
edges of the strips to join — a very different and more difficult undertaking.
Corrections for differences in ground elevation and motion of the machine
must be made in this connection, just as with the sections of each strip.

Despite the difficulties outlined above, the use of aerial photography for
mapping would appear to be an almost certain development in survey work.
Its ability to reproduce detail is unlimited: it can also produce results rapidly
and with a degree of completeness, the value of which can hardly be appreciated
without experience.

8. Fire -Pa/ro/.— Detection of forest fires was carried on during the fire

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FOQESTS 253

season in connection with the regular survey work, location being reported on
return to the base, to the local rangers or by wire to the district chief. From
the season's flying experience, it would appear that aerial detection of fire is
both more reliable and more efficient than any other system as yet devised.
On the score of reliability, records of the field unit of three machines, with
which the past season's work was carried on, show that it would have been
possible throughout the season to provide a daily patrol of at least one machine
capable of covering a two hundred mile beat. This is the more creditable when
it is considered that flight was continued without engine overhaul up to, in the
case of one, and far past in the case of the other two machines, the time limit
for the engines prescribed by the makers. Chances of uncertain service, such
as the above and the numerous other ways, need not be incurred, in the case
of machines operating from a permanent base, with an almost certain gain in
dependability.

As regards the efficiency of the aerial observer to spot fire, it is believed
that this is entirely a question of personnel. Fires can be seen clearly and
for great distances. They can be seen despite ground-haze, which from above
is scarcely perceptible, and can be located by anyone provided with, and cap-
able of reading, a good map. In addition to merely observing and locating
fire, however, the aerial observer can also, and should be required, to report
on its size and situation with respect to local fire barriers and progress during
fighting — information which cannot be supplied by any other system of detec-
tion, except by great good fortune, and which is of immense value to the proper
planning of fire fighting operations.

Suppression, which is at once the essential and most difficult part of any
fire protection system, was successfully carried out by the use of air craft on
two occasions. In one instance, this entailed the transportation and supplying
of a total of six men for a distance of seventy-five miles by air; fire fighting was
carried on for eight days. The second fire occurred forty miles from the base
and was fought by four men taken in and supplied by air; for four days. Al-
though opportunity for further work of this kind was abundant and could
readily have been undertaken, it was considered inadvisable to do so in view
of the fact that the unit was not organized for such work and that it would inter-
fere too much with the regular survey work. The above results should indicate,
however, that aerial transportation can be used for fire suppression.

The importance of aerial transportation, and the extent to which it could
be used for forest fire suppression in this Province can only be grasped after
a consideration of the large number of suitable ready-made landing grounds for
sea-planes and flying boats which are scattered throughout almost the whole
fire district; and the further consideration that successful development along
this line would immediately place such points in the same category as road
and railway heads, from which it would be possible to obtain men and supplies
at short notice in case of any emergency.

9. Summary. — (a) Approximately 6,400,000 acres, lying in general between
the G.T.P. Railway and the Albany - Lac Seul waterway, were mapped as
composition types by sketch; about one-half of this was further classified into
size classes.

Some 325,000 acres, in scattered strips, were covered by aerial photography.

Twenty-one special landings were made for sample plot work in typical
forest stands.

Throughout the season forest fire detection was carried on, secondarily to

254 REPORT OF THE No. 3

the survey work. Fighting was carried out in two instances, to explore the
possibilities in this line.

(b) This survey was carried on in co-operation with the Canadian Air
Board, who supplied three H.S.2L. flying boats with the necessary personnel
and equipment; with R. N. Johnston of this Branch, and forestry student
assistant F. T. Jenkins, as observers.

(c) The total flying time for the season was 333 hours; the cost, $140.00
per flying hour, and two-thirds cents per acre.

10. Conclusions. — It is believed that a proper attitude towards the follow-
ing conclusions from the season's work is one which regards it as essentially
experimental.

The H.S.2L. type of craft was serviceable because of the physiography
of the region. A territory less liberally studded with lakes would require a
machine of proportionately greater speed and climb. Some fitting-up is nec-
essary for the working convenience and comfort of the observer.

The observer is called upon for rapid recognition and classification of
types, according to recognized ground standards, and rapid mapping of bound-
aries. This requires special aptitude as training by flying is expensive.

Required ground studies should be done by separate crews.

Aerial photography is specialized work and should be attempted on a
large scale only by units organized for that purpose. It requires, for best
operation, flying equipment capable of high speed and climb, in order to take
full advantage of good photographic light and to be able to operate at a height
where aerial disturbances producing errors in exposure, are at a minimum.
Cameras should be chosen with regard to the class of work required and the
machine in which they are to be used. In survey work, the exposures should
be finished and at least roughly plotted in the field, to prevent possible serious
lack of data through some failure in field operations.

Fire detection can be carried on with either high or low performance mach-
ines, both reliably and efficiently. The matter of suppression is dependent
for success on the opportunities for landing. These uses of the air craft being
secondary, no estimate of cost can be given.

Operation cost of flying, being slight as compared to overhead, the sea-
son's program of work should make provision for the utilization of all possible
flying time and not merely perfect flying weather.

In conclusion, it is desired to make reference to the splendid work of the
personnel of the Air Board, and more particularly to the mechanics. No in-
ference that their work was more worthy of mention than that of any other
section of Air Board personnel is intended here, for this would be entirely un-
true, but it is a fact that the work of the mechanic is usually overlooked. Nearly
everyone is fully aware that a machine must have a pilot to fly, but how many
have more than a dim realization of the absolute dependence of flight on the
faithful, hard, and often unpleasant, work of the mechanic?

Of the hearty co-operation of the whole unit, however, enough cannot be
said. Indeed, this was true to such an extent that work was carried on as
if not two but one, and that a forest organization, was involved. This is the
more remarkable when it is remembered that the foresters, through lack of data
and experience, could not act with certainty from day to day, but had of neces-

1921-22

DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS

255

sity to chop and change as experience and opportunity indicated. Such changes,
discouraging in any case, must have been much more so when made, as they
frequently were, for what, to an outsider, must have appeared as trivial or
obscure reasons.

III. Reforestation.

Provincial Forestry Station, St. Williams:

The broadening-out policy, in preparation for the many reforestation
projects which are facing the Government, has been emphasized during the
year at St. Williams. A description of the work done is as follows:

Seed Beds. — Spring sowing of seed beds commenced April 5th and con-
tinued until June 9th. In all, 605 beds, each 30 feet long by 4 feet wide, were
sown, the amount of seed used being 59 1| pounds of all species. Fall sowing
of seed beds commenced November 15th and continued until December 10th.
340 beds of the same size were sown, requiring 3951 pounds of seed.

Additions to Property. — The most important addition to the station prop-
erty was the installing of a new water system. This includes a pumping station
capable of forcing 7,600 gallons of water per hour into a 20,000 gallon tank.
This is elevated 100 feet from the ground, which gives excellent pressure to the
system. 700 yards of 4-inch iron pipe form the main which, in turn, supplies
the various nursery compartments through the existing 5 acres of overhead
sprinkling system.

Four new buildings have been erected during the year. An implement
house, 101 feet long by 30 feet wide, provides needed room for all machinery.
One small barn, a common room for employees, and an additional workmen's
house were also erected. This makes a total of 8 dwellings as follows: Man-
ager's residence, foreman's house, 5 houses for teamsters, fire ranger, and work-
men, and a common room.

Two and a half acres of new lawn was made, a half-mile cedar hedge
planted, and 140 rods of wire fence was erected.

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 257

Several new roads were laid out on the property, necessitating the erec-
tion of two new bridges. Five miles of old road were cleared of brush, to facil-
itate fire-fighting work when needful. All fire roads were ploughed and cultiv-
ated, and an additional fire line of one-third of a mile in length was cleared
and broken up.

Improvement Cutting. — On the 1,720 acres comprising the forest station,
approximately seventy per cent, consists of woodland. During favorable
weather in late fall and winter, improvement cutting was carried on, over an
area of forty acres. Weed trees and windfalls were cut down, after which they
were converted into logs and cordwood, the remaining slash being burned.
Trees that showed evidence of butt rot, fire scar, ill form, oppression and sen-
ility were removed and utilized to the best advantage. The aim was to leave
a stand composed of only sound, healthy, vigorous trees, thereby minimizing
fire hazard and preventing, to a degree, insect and vegetable infection.

Protection {Disease and Insects). — Two men were employed during the
summer months in connection with the eradication of Ribes for the prevention
of the infection of nursery material with White Pine Blister Rust. No evidence
of either Pine or Ribes stage of the disease was found. Destruction of White
Pine Weevil was also carried on and all attacked leaders of trees in older planta-
tions were removed, in an attempt to lessen the destruction caused by this
insect.

Labor. — One of the difficulties in building up a permanent staff has been
the lack of house accommodation, either on the Government property or else-
where. With the increasing number of dwellings being erected at the station,
this problem has been partially solved. For part time employment, which is
a big factor in work of this kind, the neighborhood contributes plenty of young
men. During the season, the personnel comprised, besides the manager of
the station, a foreman, an under-foreman, 2 teamsters, a fire ranger, and 28
workmen.

Tree Planting.

Private Planting. — The work of tree distribution to private owners through-
out the province was again carried on during the spring. The species avail-
able for distribution for the season of 1921 were as follows: Scotch pine, black
walnut, butternut, red oak, white ash, sugar maple, white elm, and black locust.

Last year some fifty odd applications more than the branch could fill,
were received. 225 separate operations were supplied. The number of trees
for these amounted to 291,769 of all species. In terms of acres, this would
represent, at six feet spacing, 240 acres of reforested land.

Government Planting. — Owing to the fact that the demand for planting
material throughout the province was so great this year, little permanent plant-
ing was done at the forestry station at St. Williams. A mixture of Scotch pine
and European larch was planted, covering an area of 5 acres, and 10,000 white
spruce were planted in mixture with red oak.

A plantation of 3 acres was set out in Leeds county, with the co-operation
of the council of Elizabethtown Township, where a sand ridge had been in-
conveniencing traffic on a county road for years. This plot will serve as a
demonstration plantation for land owners in the neighborhood, who are threat-
ened with drifting soil.

Extensive planting work was also carried on in connection with reclaiming
the sand banks of Prince Edward County. These banks consist of a finger-

258 REPORT OF THE No. 3

shaped peninsula which separates the waters of West Lake — a lake five miles
in two dimensions — from Lake Ontario. The peninsula is three-quarters of a
mile wide at its base and extends five miles in a north-westerly direction until
it reaches the town of Wellington in a narrow point. From its orientation, it
will be seen that part of the peninsula lies at right angles to the prevailing
winds of Ontario. Because of this, much excellent land farm has for years
been continually spoiled or covered up by drifting sand. Since this section
of the country was first surveyed in 1852, it is estimated that 85 acres of good
land have been covered with drifting soil.

The planting material used in this work consisted of Carolina poplar cut-
tings and green willow cuttings and limb material. Belts were planted one
hundred feet apart, each belt consisting of one row of limb material and five
to seven rows of cuttings, and were planted at right angles to the prevailing winds.
The area planted would aggregate 150 acres and covers the part of the banks
where the despoiling of agricultural land is most imminent.

Seed Collecting.

The Forestry Branch endeavors, as far as possible, to secure in the Province
all seed used for the growing of nursery stock. The only exception, which is
made in this regard, is Scotch pine seed. This tree, not being a native of Amer-
ica, the seed must necessarily be imported until trees of our own growing have
become old enough to supply our needs. A quantity of Scotch and jack pine
cones were gathered from the plantations at St. Williams; also 140 bushels of
jack pine cones were gathered at a lumbering operation in Northern Ontario
during the winter.

One of the most useful species for reforesting in Ontario is our native red
pine. It grows well on poor soil, has few enemies, and is valuable for timber
purposes. The only drawback in its use is the infrequency of its seed years.
The season of 1921 was a good seed year for the species. The crop was not
as general as the crop of 1913 was reported to have been, but groups of trees
in the area covered, bore a maximum crop of cones.

The collecting of this species was confined to a section of Simcoe County,
lying between Angus, Lisle and Tioga, which includes a large section of Camp
Borden. Through the liberality of the Air Board in granting the use of a
building for extracting purposes, and by co-operation in other ways, the work
was carried on more expeditiously. It is doubtful whether a more suitable
area than this for collecting red pine seed exists in the province. Here, the
trees occur scattered in pure stands, and growing in. this way, they have as-
sumed the form of open grown trees which increases their value for seed collect-
ing purposes.

The extracting of the seeds is carried on at the forestry station at St. Wil-
liams and also at Angus, where large quantities of seed have been gathered the
last two years. Both plants handle the material which is gathered locally.
The larger one is at Angus, and has a capacity of 20 bushels of red pine or 75
bushels of white spruce per 8-hour day. Two men do all the work, including
firing, turning and filling the drums and cleaning of seed.

During this season, the crop of most hardwood seeds was poor. It was
impossible to secure quantities of such useful trees as maple, white ash, and
elm.

IV. Forest Pathology. . ^.

(Report of Dr. J. H. Faull for 1921).

Many interesting problems of forest pathology in Ontario have been called
into review during the last year, some in continuation of uncompleted studies,
others taken up in response to specific needs or inquiries. The field work was
carried on mainly in the Temagami Forest Reserve, where, as in the past,
valuable assistance was afforded by the Chief Ranger, Mr. C. E. Hindson. In
addition, visits were made to the hardwood area of Algonquin Park, to the
recently cut-over limits in the neighborhood of Otter, and to the pulpwood
district north of Temiskaming. A few days were spent at the request of the
Division of Forest Insects, Entomological Branch, Ottawa, in a co-operative
examination of pulpwood forests injured by the spruce bud worm, to discover,
if possible, what part fungi or other factors play in destroying the trees at-
tacked by this pest. I was associated in my work, for a part of the time, with
Mr. A. W. McCallum, B.Sc.F., Dominion Forest Pathologist, who was en-
gaged in the study of a root rot of living trees, caused by the honey agaric,
Armillaria mellea, an especially abundant form in our northern forests, and'
one which appears to be virulent in overcrowded stands or in trees much weak-
ened by needle blight, spruce bud worm attacks, or other injuries, and with
Mr. H. P. Bell, M.Sc, of Halifax, Nova Scotia, who was intimately concerned
with certain diseases of balsam. As a part of the field work, extensive addi-
tions were made to our reference collections of pathological materials. These
have likewise been considerably augmented by specimens sent in from various
parts of Ontario, and from outside places, especially the contiguous provinces
and states.

(1) Needle Blight of White Pine.

Observations for the fourth summer in succession, were made on the needle
blight of the white pine, and the conclusions stated in the Reports of the Min-
ister of Lands and Forests for 1919 and 1920 have been confirmed and extended.
This malady, a yellowing or reddening in late spring or early summer, of the
needles of the white pine, so prevalent in the Temagami Forest Reserve and
to some extent in other parts of Ontario, is due to a killing of the absorbing

260

REPORT OF THE

No. 3

roots, ascribable to a drying-out that takes place in periods of drought in shallow
or leachy soils. The result is that at the time the new needles are expanding,
there is a sudden demand for water that cannot be supplied and, in consequence,
the young needles turn pale and then redden from the tips downward. Owing
to the dry weather experienced last summer (1921), the blight, while not as
abundant as in 1918, was more sharply defined than in 1920. The forest com-
missioner for the State of Maine reports that a similar situation has prevailed
in the pine forests on sandy soils in the southern part of Maine. But white
pine {Pinus Strobus) is not the only tree affected in the blight areas, although
it probably suffers much more severely than other types; proof is accumulating
that shows that other timber species are involved to a greater or less extent,
dependent on their relative susceptibilities. A full account will be published
when the investigations in hand have been completed. The status of 633 white
pine trees, whose history has been followed since 1918, is summarized in the
table that follows:

Blighted trees studied 358

Checks (healthy trees) 275

Of the checks, two only have developed blight, and under known condi-
tions. They blighted in 1919, following a partial lifting of the thin soil cover
and its permanent displacement from the bed of coarse broken rock on which
it lies — the action of ice. These trees died in 1921. The blighted trees have
been divided into two classes: (1) those with trunks 6 inches or less in diameter
(b.h.); (2) those with trunks more than 6 inches in diameter.

From the results obtained, it is reasonable to conclude: (1) that young
stands are not likely to be seriously depleted by needle blight; (2) that injury
to heavily blighted mature stands may be so great as to be a deciding factor
in determining the time of harvesting.

(2) Butt Rots.

Butt or stump rots constitute the outstanding destructive agencies at work
in our Ontario forests. No type of forest is exempt, and every mature stand
becomes more and more susceptible with increasing age. Butt rots, once estab-
lished, continuously decrease stumpage values; they are also responsible for
most windfalls, and so for the vast amounts of debris that litter the floors of
our forests, affording a limitless supply of highly combustible wasted materials.
There are various types, but all are due to the action of parasitic fungi. For-
tunately, they are almost altogether restricted to mature or suppressed timber;
young trees are practically immune. This fact greatly simplifies the problem
of control. In this connection, it is in place to state that any effective plan
of scientific forest management is bound to take cognizance of the part played
by butt rots in the economics of the forest, and the administration of any such
plan will not only secure a maximum yield from the forest, but will also make
a long stride forward in the matter of fire control.

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 251

Our investigations on these trunk and root diseases have so far followed
along three lines: (a) the tabulation of the various types as to kind, host rela-
tionship and distribution; (b) the working out of a ready means of field and
laboratory diagnosis for each type; (c) consideration of particular cases in res-
sponse to special inquiries. To these, others should be added — such, for ex-
ample, as the rate of progress of an infestation, and the relation of butt diseases
to age, specific resistance and environmental factors. As a part of the scheme
of tabulation, it would be especially profitable to include information relative
to the age at which various species of trees lose their resistance to the inroads
of the different kinds of decay fungi. Observations show that, in general, this
feature will vary with location, and especially the characters of the physical
and the biotic environment — such factors, for example, as soil, crowding, etc.,
and possibly climate. The factor of wounding or killing of roots is also im-
portant, for it is probable that none of the fungi concerned can gain entrance
into the host except through wounds or dead areas in the bark and cambium.
To what extent wounded and dead roots regularly occur in different localities
remains to be seen. But from an examination of the root systems of many
trees in the Temagami Forest Reserve, it is certain that in that region wounds
are very common on the centrally directed faces of the main roots, particularly
just below or near the trunk axis, and the inner roots are frequently dead.

(a) Much progress has been made in the work of tabulation. The fund-
amental need of this undertaking is indicated by the fact that several types of
butt or heart rot have been found to be new. One of the most important of
the latter, and recorded here for the first time, is a root and butt rot of spruce,
hemlock, and white pine, with which a pored type of fungus, Polyporus Toment-
osus Fries, is constantly associated. On further search, it will probably be
found that the red and the jack pine should be included in this list, and possibly
balsam. The fruiting body of the fungus is yellowish, leathery in texture,
stalked, with a rounded cap 1-3 inches in diameter; it commonly grows on the
soil in the neighborhood of coniferous trees, but is attached by its stalk to the
covered roots of its host. The decay caused is of the piped or speckled type
— whitish spots at first in the rather darkened wood, later becoming small cav-
ities up to half an inch or more in length and a twelfth of an inch in diameter.
This decay quite closely resembles the common "pecky wood-rot" or "partridge
rot," caused by Trametes pint, but differs from the latter in that it is a butt rot.
While not infrequent throughout it is apparently much commoner in some
localities than in others. In the Otter district, for example, a high percentage
of the white pine was affected, and to such an extent that frequently the butt
log was of no value and was allowed to remain on the ground. I am indebted
to Mr. A. W. McCallum for striking specimens of this decay as a heart rot in
black spruce.

(b) One of the chief drawbacks encountered in investigating butt rots is
the lack of information on the identity of the causal organisms. This applies
to the larger number of butt and heart rots of conifers in America. Balsam
rots may be cited as an extreme case, for though several types occur in living
balsam trees, no one as yet, so far as the literature shows, has definitely estab-
lished a connection with a specific fungus in any one case. To meet this need,
and as an outgrowth of the present work, investigations in this field were in-
dependently inaugurated in the provincial University two years ago, and are
now being vigorously carried forward with fruitful results. The methods em-
ployed are those so successfully used in cultural diagnostic studies of bacteria.

(c) A special case, calling for an investigation of heartwood weakened by
fungi, was referred to the Forestry Branch by the manufacturers concerned,
a year or so ago, in connection with the use of birch for spokes. A preliminary
examination of our birch was soon after undertaken, and it has become evident
that certain types of defective trees, easily recognizable, should be avoided
as a source of wood calling for maximum resistance. The defects in question

are ascribable to the true tinder fungus, one of the oldest known fungi, but
like many others, imperfectly understood. A preliminary account follows.

(3) A Preliminary Account of the True Tinder Fungus.

The true tinder fungus attacks standing or fallen beech, birch, poplar,
and occasionally elm, causing a whitish decay. It is readily recognised by its

fruiting-bodies or sporophores, the grayish hoof-shaped punks or brackets so
common on the trunks of its hosts (Figure 1). Most frequently this fungus
works from the crown down, though not invariably so. The true tinder fungus
abounds throughout Ontario, and is also frequent in the adjoining states. Von

Botanically, many new points of interest have been noted — such as the
characters of its spores, their viabiHty and method of germination, the remark-
able habit of vernal spore discharge, and the production of spores for three or
four years from the same pore layers. But the main interest here centers on

has existed, and one that directly concerns the application of the heartwood
to^some industrial purposes. Various manuals or bulletins, dealing with the

1921-22

fungus, ascribe to it a decay in the outer sapwood immediately under the bark,
from there working inwards. An examination of hundreds of affected trees
has failed to substantiate this view in any one instance. On the contrary, in
living trees, the fungus enters through wounds or broken or dead branch stubs
and penetrates to the inner sapwood and heartwood, rapidly spreading up and
down in these regions of the stem and more slowly outward towards the bark.
Figure 2 illustrates a section taken from a living beech in which this fungus is
working as a pure heart rot. In birch it appears to spread more abundantly

and rapidly in the inner sapwood as is shown in Figure 3, but it is important
to note that the adjoining heartwood is also affected and, in consequence, weak-
ened. One of the most significant features is the circumstance that cured
timber from trees in which the decay is in its incipient stages, is indistinguish-
able by ordinary means of examination at the command of the user, from per-
fectly sound timber. The infection of the birch appears to be commonly as-
sociated with the breaking of the branches of the crown, due to the action of
a boring insect. Complete results will be published when the investigations
have been brought to a conclusion.

266 REPORT OF THE No. 3

(4) A Poplar Canker.

Early in May, 1921, an examination was made for the Toronto Harbor
Commission of a plantation of about 500 Lombardy poplars planted out in
the fall of 1920 on the Lake Shore road, York County, which were found to be
affected with a canker disease caused by an imported fungus, Dothichiza populea,
Sacc. & Briard. Fully 80 per cent, of the trees were diseased, and all were cut
down and destroyed. This fungus, apparently, found its way into America
originally from Europe in nursery stock, and in the present instance there is
every probability that the disease was already established in the young trees
when they left the local nursery from which they were obtained. A visit to
the nursery in question at the time, resulted in finding the disease in the re-
maining stock of Lombardy poplars. The causal fungus attacks the trunks
and branches of trees of all ages, killing them outright or permanently disfigur-
ing them; but it is especially virulent in newly transplanted trees and in stock
heeled in for early spring planting. Besides the Lombardy poplar, it is also
known to attack the cotton wood, populus deltoides. To what extent other
poplars are susceptible is not known, but it seems worth while that this feature
should be watched. It is also certain that there should be the closest inspec-
tion on the part of nurserymen and of those who purchase poplars from nurs-
eries.

This disease was reported for the first time in America by Hedgcock & Hunt
in 1916 (Hedgcock, George C. & N. R. Hunt: Dothichiza populea in the United
States, Mycologia 8, pp. 300-308, 2 plates, 1916), but was known thirty years
or more prior to that in Europe, especially in France, Germany and Italy.
Specimens were received by the writer from an eastern source in Canada in 191"
through the courtesy of the Dominion Botanist. In Europe, populus deltoides
seems quite as liable to attack as populus nigra, and in France severe losses
have been experienced in plantations of the former grown for timber.

The causal lungus attacks the bark, killing the cambium. In such spots,
the bark becomes more or less sunken, but not much discolored (Figure 4).
These depressed areas or cankers rapidly extend in all directions, and as a result,
girdling commonly takes place. Pustules soon appear on the cankers, and from
them emerge countless numbers of tiny spores which serve to transmit the
parasite to other hosts. Diseased trees in nurseries or in plantations should
be cut down and burned.

Kenora (Schedule "A") and their agreement with the Crown (Schedule "B")
and is conditional upon the due performance of said agreements (save as other-
wise herein provided) and upon the failure or neglect of the Company to carry
out any of the terms of said agreements, or either of them, as herein provided,
or of this agreement, the Minister of Lands and Forests for the Province of
of Ontario, for the time being shall, in addition to all other powers contained
in said lease, have the power to cancel the said lease and the agreement therefor
herein contained.

5. In consideration whereof the Company agree that they will forthwith
after the execution of this Agreement proceed with the erection in the Town
of Kenora of the mills mentioned in paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 of said Agreement
set out in Schedule "B" hereto, and in accordance with the provisions of the
last-mentioned agreement will erect and complete the said mills mentioned
in said paragraphs and will in all other respects carry out their obligations under
the terms of the said Agreement as now revived, varied and amended, including
the manufacture in the said mills of the wood from the area described in the

8. The Crown will presently offer for public competition the pulpwood
and timber on an area comprising a part of the English River Watershed and
which area is bounded on the West by the boundary of the Province of Manitoba;
on the South by the National Transcontinental Railway, on the North by the
English River and Lac Seul, and on the East by the Westerly limit of Indian
Reserve No. 28 extended north in a straight line to the northerly boundary and
south to the southerly boundary of the said area; and the Company will tender
for the said area in the terms of the conditions of sale thereof, one of which
will be that the timber and pulpwood on the said area will be manufactured
at Kenora (including the manufacture into newsprint paper of the pulpwood
suitable for that purpose) and if the Company's tender is accepted the Company
will enlarge their said mills at Kenora to at least the capacity mentioned in the
said Agreement (Schedule "A") and will accept this Agreement as a satisfactory
agreement within the meaning of clause (a) of paragraph 1 of the said Agree-
ment (Schedule "A") and as a full compliance by the Town of Kenora with its
obligations under clauses (ee) and (ff) of the said Agreement (Schedule "A"
and the Company will thereupon carry out and perform all their obligations
under the said agreement (Scheduel "A") and will further extend the said pulp
and paper mills and increase the capacity thereof beyond that called for by
the said Agreement (Schedule "A") as they may from time to time be re-
quired by the Minister of Lands and Forests to do, having regard to the quan-
tity of pulpwood that will be available for the said mills. Provided
that if it is ascertained by the Minister of Lands and Forests within
three years from this date that there is not sufficient pulpwood and timber
on the above described area to operate the said mills in Kenora as set forth
in the said Agreement (Schedule "A") he will put up for public competition such
an additional area or areas to the north of the English River as will provide the
necessary timber and pulpwood for the said purpose, and in the Conditions of
Sale thereof it shall be provided that the manufacture thereof shall be in the
Town of Kenora. The ascertainment and estimate by the Minister as aforesaid
shall be final and conclusive and binding on all parties to this Agreement.

9. Nothing in this agreement shall affect the application of the provisions
of any statute or order-in-council whether now existing or which hereafter may
be enacted or made dealing with the regulation, control or inspection of water
power and of the use of waters in Ontario.

10. If the Company fails or neglects to erect, extend and operate the
said mills in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then all rights under
this Agreement shall terminate and be forever forfeited. Provided, however,
that there shall be no forfeiture or cancellation hereunder for the reason (if

270 REPORT OF THE No. 3

that situation should arise) that the forest products available to the Company
are found inadequate to carry on the operation of the said mills to the capacity
mentioned in the said Agreement (Schedule "A").

11. Where the word "Company" occurs in this Agreement, it shall be
understood to refer to and include the heirs, executors, administrators, suc-
cessors and assigns of the parties hereto respectively of the Second Part, and
this Agreement shall be binding upon all of the aforesaid parties.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF the Minister of Lands and Forests has hereunto

operations, and nothing herein contained shall limit or affect the right of the
Crown or its Ministers to sell, lease, locate or otherwise dispose of lands in the
aforesaid territory for settlement, mining or other purposes.

18. Nothing herein contained or to be done hereunder or by virtue hereof,

Report of the Minister of Lands and Forests
of the Province of Ontario

For the Year Ending 31st October, 1922.

To His Honour the Lieutenant-Governor of the Province of Ontario.

May it Please Your Honour:

In pursuance of the provisions of the PubHc Lands Act I have the honour
to submit for the information of Your Honour and the Legislative Assembly
a report for the fiscal year ending the 31st day of October, 1922, with respect
to the proceedings and transactions of the Department of Lands and Forests.

It affords me pleasure to announce as a preface to the detailed data follow-
ing that the revenue in timber operations and land transactions during the year
has been the largest in the history of the Province, exceeding that of the pre-
ceding year by over $400,000.

An outline of the scope of the undertakings of the Department and the
functions of each Branch disclose the variety and importance of the services
rendered.

As the name implies, there are two outstanding and somewhat distinct
units of the Department, viz, "Lands" and "Forests", but these embrace in
the application of the Acts and Regulations the rendering of services not directly
expressed in either term, such as extensive building of roads and generous
assistance to settlers.

Under the heading of "Lands" come:

(a) Surveys, Sales, Leases, Locations and Grants of Agricultural lands,
the placing of settlers and the general disposition of all Crown areas for
Ranching, Summer Resorts, Fur Farming, Transmission Lines, Mill Sites,
Water Lots and numerous other purposes.

(b) Water Powers: The leasing of same for commercial and industrial
purposes at annual rentals based upon h.p. developed and sold.

(c) Public Parks such as Algonquin, Quetico and Rondeau — great
Provincial natural recreation grounds and protectors and propagators of
wild game and bird life, also conservers of timber and possessors of great
opportunities for the study of technical forest problems.

(d) Loans and Advances to settlers covering seed grain, feed and stock;
Experimental Farms; Creameries; Dairy Co-operative Societies.

(e) Building of Colonization and Northern Ontario Trunk and side
roads to meet needs of settlers.

Under the heading of "Forests" come:

(a) Cruising, surveying and estimating timber and pulpwood areas.

(b) Selling and disposing of timber limits.

(c) Measurement of timber and the collection of all charges resulting
from the issue of timber licenses and from bush operations.

(d) Forest Fire Protection.

(e) Reforestation.

REPORT OF THE No. 3

LAND TRANSACTIONS.

Notwithstanding the more or less general tendency of the individual in
Old Ontario to trek from the rural to urban fields, the newer and northern part
of the Province holds its own reasonably well in its attractiveness to the pioneer
settler. The Great Clay Belt traversed by the Transcontinental is being acquired
by the man who is prepared to break the way for the future users of that pro-
ductive section.

A considerable number of colonists have purchased farm holdings on the
line between Cochrane and Hearst. The prospective opening in the near future
of the pulp mill at Kapuskasing, with its attendant town population, has given
an additional impetus to the settlement movement and substantial development
on bush lots in the way of cutting and clearing has resulted.

A determined effort has been made towards concerted settlement rather
than indiscriminate allocation of land. Certain tiers in townships contiguous
to the line of railway have been opened rather than the whole townships, and
settlers have been required to limit their selections within more circumscribed
areas.

This system, besides conducing towards more effective community life,
proves more economic in the building of roads and caring for the needs of settlers
in the way of checking up the work done and assisting them in more speedily
getting clearance for timber cut or approval of improvements made.

Each section in Northern Ontario succeeded in getting a fair share of
those who located or purchased land. The sum of $189,549.68 was received
from the sale of agricultural lands and townsites with Crown Leases.

Regular inspections of holdings have been made with a view to eliminating
the spurious holder or speculator in timber or pulpwood.

Important assistance has been rendered to settlers because of fire loss or
crop failures and it is most satisfactory to indicate that the returns payable
on loans to cover advances are being splendidly made and reflect credit on the
patience and industry of the well-intentioned producer in the newer parts.

Details as to land sales and collections are as follows:

Clergy Lands.

But a small area of these lands still exist in the Crown and during the year
100 acres was sold for $50.00, while the sum of $613.87 was collected on account
of former sales.

Common School Lands.

Practically all such lands have been long since alienated, although isolated
cases still arise where parties are clearing title, and from this source $1,013.60
was collected.

Grammar School Lands.

Some 99.38 acres of these lands were sold for $178.88 and the sum of $538.40
was collected.

University Lanps.

These lands, as the heading implies, are set apart for the support of the
University, and the area sold was 2,155 acres, for $1,077.50, while the total
revenue from such sources was $2,080.37.

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 7

Crown Lands.

For agricultural and townsite purposes 132,188.12 acres were sold and the
total collections on these and former sales were $114,975.11.

The total area leased amounted to 15,409.05 acres and rentals collected
from leaseholders to $57,175.06.

Free Grants.

There has been a marked increase during the year in the area of land located
as free grants; a total number of 1,013 persons selected land as compared with
858 last year. The tendency to more intensive farming .on smaller areas has
reduced the individual farm area from 136 acres to 130 acres. The privilege of
purchasing additional land adjacent to their farms has been taken by a larger
number of settlers, but the areas are somewhat less as stated above. The pre-
vious year only 136 settlers increased their holdings by this means, but during
the present year 177 parties purchased a total area of 5,954 acres.

There were 135,656 acres located and 460 patents were issued covering
64,813 acres to settlers who have cleared and put under actual cultivation the
required area on their homesteads.

Settlers on Purchased Lands.

The demand for land by bona-fide settlers shows a marked increase, with
the result that it has been necessary to open new areas for sale and an increase
in the area sold. Lands in the vicinity of Kapuskasing in the Townships of
O'Brien, Owens, Williamson and Nansen, along the Transcontinental Railway,
have been opened during the year, and in this particular area 12,131 acres have
been sold, and the demand still continues. The extension of the T. & N. O.
Railway line has caused an increase in the already great demand for land in
the Cochrane agency, but the adjacent agencies of Matheson and Hearst still
lead in the number of actual settlers.

During the year 894 persons purchased land, an increase of over one hundred
and fifty. It was found that a number of parties were holding land, apparently
for speculative purposes, and they were required to either continue settlement
or dispose of their interests to actual settlers, with the result that 549 persons
were granted permission to assign their interests, covering an area of 75,102
acres, as compared with 314 persons the previous year. This land was sought
by those expressing the intention of becoming actual farmers and the balance
of the purchase price paid in full in each case.

Naturally as time goes on the demand for free grants of land by returned
soldiers decreases, as they are rapidly becoming established in other lines of
business. This year, however, there were 219 locations of 160 acres each granted
to returned men, or a total of 35,040 acres.

Patents were granted covering 43,119 acres to 328 settlers who had met
the required building and clearing conditions.

Ranching Lands.

There is a constantly growing request for land for ranching and pasture
purposes as a result of the policy adopted by the Department of leasing these
lands at five cents per acre per annum with easy conditions as to stocking.
Farmers who have their farms practically all under grain crops are acquiring
ndditional areas and enlarging their activities to that of sheep and cattle raising.

8 REPORT OF THE No. 3

Rough land more adapted for ranching or pasture has been largely taken up for
this purpose, and during the year Leases and Licenses of Occupation have issued,
covering 8,200 acres.

Numerous inquiries have been received for marsh or low-lying lands for
the purpose of raising muskrats and other fur-bearing animals. This promises
to be an industry which may make valuable lands that at the present time
have practically no market value.

Licenses of Occupation were issued for fur farming in the townships of
Eric and Genoa, District of Sudbury, and for a parcel of land west of the Town-
ship of Strange in the District of Thunder Bay, containing 2,520 acres.

Military Grants

Under Act 1 Edward VII, Cap. 6, and amendments thereto, there have
been issued 13,998 Military Certificates. Notwithstanding the fact that the
date for receiving applications for these grants expired in September, 1908,
a large number of inquiries regarding certificates have been received.

As a result of legislation this year, limiting the time in which to locate to
the 30th April next, a larger percentage of the outstanding certificates are being
located or surrendered to the Crown.

During the year 22 of these certificates have been located on 3,473 acres,
making a total of 8,413 certificates actually located on land.

Few certificates are being surrendered for the $50.00 commutation money,
as the land which may be located is worth more than the commutation value
of the certificates. There were, however, six surrendered in this manner.

There were 240 acres purchased by three certificates being applied in pay-
ment thereof, making a total of 803 certificates which have been thus applied
on land.

Of the locations already made under certificates 42 patents were issued
during the year, making a total of 7,530 certificates which have been thus dis-
posed of by the Department.

A large area, 4,334 acres, which had been located to 30 veterans who
neglected to perform settlement duties within the time required by the Act, was
cancelled and the land redeemed by the Crown.

There are still 1,510 certificates outstanding.

During the last session of the Legislature an amendment to the Veterans'
Act was passed providing that no locations of land will be made after the 30th
day of April, 1923. After a lapse of twenty years it was deemed advisable to
place a time limit upon the selection and allocation of land for the purposes of
the Act. Any certificate thereafter may, however, be surrendered to the Crown
for a cash consideration of $50.00, or accepted as payment for Crown land at
its face value of $80.00.

It is confidently predicted that the amendment will conduce towards the
return of several hundred certificates by the end of the time limit for locating.

Collections.

The total revenue of the Department from all sources, which was the largest
ever received, amounted to $4,439,340.03, being over $400,000.00 more than
that of the preceding year. The sale of Agricultural Lands and Townsites,
with Crown Leases, including Provincial Parks, etc., amounted to $189,549.68;
Casual Fees $2,118.95; Refund Items $66,239.43. From Woods and Forests

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 9

the Revenue was $4,181,431.97, made up of the following items: Bonus $1,446,-
351.31; Timber Dues $2,315,668.17; Ground Rent $103,179.09; Transfer Fees
$6,295.00; Fire Protection $309,938.40. (See Appendix No. 4, page 26.)

Disbursements.

The total Expenditure, less Civil Government, of the Department for all
services (exclusive of those rendered under the Northern and North-Western
Ontario Development Acts, for which see Appendices Nos. 47, 48 and 49),
was $2,399,175.22. Some of the more important items were: Crown Lands
Agents' Salaries and Disbursements $22,803.85 ; Homestead Inspectors $28,423.00;
Crown Timber Agents $41,452.56; Fire Ranging $684,585.62; Forest Ranging
and Measurement of Timber $299,616.18; Reforestation $151,216.63; Algonquin
Provincial Park $42,450.97; Quetico Provincial Park $13,401.05; Rondeau
Provincial Park $12,975.12; Surveys $154,856.61 ; Colonization Roads $671,184.48;
Commissions re Sundry Investigations $33,556.07; Litigation of Constitutional
and Other Questions $34,895.57; Aerial Surveys $15,000.00; Special Warrants
$71,221.88; Clearing Townsites and Removing Fire Hazards $11,070.42. (Addi-
itonal details are found in Appendix No. 6.)

TIMBER REVENUE.

From all sources in connection with the administration of the Timber
Resources the sum of $4,181,431.97 was collected, the largest amount ever
collected in the history of the country. This sum is in excess of the unpre-
cedented record of last year by over $400,000.00.

It should be noted that while the accruals for the past year approximated
only $3,000,000, collections were greater by over $1,000,000, the difference being
accounted for by a payment of some $400,000, resulting from the Court action
of the Crown against the Shevlin-Clarke Company and by a close check upon
outstanding accounts and a follow-up system of collection.

Notwithstanding the somewhat trying and uncertain market conditions
obtaining during the earlier part of the fiscal year, the dealers and operators,
prompted by a desire to co-operate with the Crown in its desire to maintain a
regular revenue, responded splendidly. In certain cavSes, rather than force a
company to the wall because of an inability to finance its operations, the Crown,
without impairing its security, made provision to meet the situation.

Log Operations.

As pointed out in last year's report a number of the smaller operators,
because of the depression in the lumber market, considered the financial outlay
for heavy bush operations too hazardous, and in consequence their output was
limited, while certain larger operators in some instances, apprehending a contin-
uation of the precarious market, restricted their cutting. Such narrowing opera-
tions, naturally justified, are reflected in the following figures.

Throughout the year only 247,554,350 feet B.M. pine for sawlogs, boom
and dimension timber, was cut, or approximately 90,000,000 feet less than
the previous year. Sawlog timber, other than pine, was taken out to the extent
of 57,311,922 feet B.M., or nearly 10,000,000 feet less than during the year
1921. Boom and dimension timber other than pine accounted for 2,266,461
feet B.M. For piling 102,162 lineal feet and 73,339 feet B.M. were cut.

10 REPORT OF THE No. 3

Tie production was much lower than for the two years immediately pre-
ceding, only 1,755,419 having been taken, as against 4,001,471 for 1922 and
over 6,000,000 for 1920. The decreased figures are due to lack of new railway
construction, uncertainty in connection with tie contracts and the requirement
in new sales that ties shall be sawn and not hewn, the latter for the most part
being taken out, measured on a B.M. basis and included in the log returns.
(See Appendix No. 7, pages 34.)

The more or less pessimistic lumber outlook that prevailed in the latter
part of 1921 and continued for a considerable part of 1922 has given way to an
optimistic one, which I consider will be amply reflected in the returns of the
coming year, the indications pointing in the direction of a much heavier logging
operation this coming winter.

Pulpwood: The quantity of pulpwood cut subject to Crown dues totalled
some 289,113 cords, scarcely one-third of that covered in 1921, but this reduction
in cordage was not unexpected. In addition to this quantity 415.304 cords
were cut free of Crown Dues, this having been taken from patented lands or
those held by settlers with proper improvements. The peak market price of
pulpwood during the war and continuing some time thereafter gave an impetus
to large contracts extending over several seasons and abnormal cuts by indivi-
duals in the expectation that the market price would stand. A lowering of the
price with a large unsold stock on hand from 1920 and 1921 lessened activities
in pulpwood regions.

There has been an improved tone in the pulp and paper industry and the
tendency is towards a steadier and upward market.

By the end of the present year, or in the early weeks of the year 1923,
two new mills are expected to be in operation, one at Kenora, resulting from the
English River sale in 1920 and the other at Kapuskasing as a result of the arrange-
ment consummated with the Spruce Falls Company in 1920.

The Provincial Paper Mills, Limited, by virtue of an agreement entered
into with the Government in pursuance of the sale of the Nipigon Timber
Limit in 1920, are operating their mill at Port Arthur.

For ready reference and future use in comparisons I am furnishing in this
report, as promised in my last year's summary, a tabulated statement of all the
timber sales made throughout the year, giving such details as to area, price,
purchaser and other features that may be useful. (See Appendix No. 51.)
A compilation of timber sales or transactions is being prepared to cover a
reasonable period of the past, which shall serve as a permanent record of the
Department.

Lands under License: The area covered by License at the end of the fiscal
year, 31st October, 1922, was 17,2893/^ square miles, subject to a ground rent
of $5.00 per square mile. This was less by 2,500 square miles than the year
1921.

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS U

Cullers' Examination.

Two examinations were held during the year, one at Callander and one
at Fort Frances, on the 3rd day of October, 1922.

Six candidates successfully passed the examination and were duly granted
licenses authorizing them to act as Cullers.

(For names of Cullers who passed at this examination, see Appendix No. 10,
page 38.)

(For complete list of Licensed Cullers see Minister's Reports for 1917,
1918, 1919, 1920 and 1921).

Timber Commission.

The Timber Commission appointed in March, 1920, to report on the admin-
istration of the timber resources of the Province, published three interim reports,
as stated in last year's Departmental report and submitted its main or final
report in June 1922.

The report has been regularly printed and speaks for itself.

As a result of or during the Timber Investigation a sum approximating
$122,000 was collected as trespass and over-run charges.

From a monetary point of view the fact should not be overlooked that in
addition to this amount the Crown succeeded in its court action against the
Shevlin-Clarke Company, which action was instituted following an interim
report of the Commissioners on the Timber Investigation.

The decision of the Court declared that the Agreement made by the Ontario
Government with Shevlin-Clarke in respect of berths 45 and 49 Quetico Reserve
was illegal and held that the company should pay, instead of $7 per M ft. B.M.
for the pine, $17.60 per M ft. B.M. Doyle Rule, in addition to Crown Dues.

This difference in the rate meant a payment to the Crown of approximately
$170,000, to cover the increased rate on the timber cut, and approximately
$900,000 on the timber still remaining to be cut under the estimates made,
so that the decision of the Court in respect of these berths will ultimately add
to the Crown's revenue more than $1,000,000 above that which would have
come had the investigation not proceeded and the case not been instituted.

Two other court actions were contemplated against the Shevlin-Clarke
Company, one to recover certain monies alleged by the Crown to have been
due it from the Company because of too great an over-run, and a second action
was instituted with a view to having the Court declare invalid the sale of berth
51 to the Company.

A settlement was reached whereby the Company agreed that in consideration
of the withdrawal of the action against it, the sum of $250,000 cash would be
paid. The agreement closed out all the actions including that of the Company
which proposed to proceed with its appeal against the Crown in the case of
berths 45 and 49. Under an Act of the Legislature, being Cap. 20, 12—13 George
V, the agreement and licenses of the Company were duly confirmed.

CROWN SURVEYS.

Survey of Crown lands in the northern part of the Province, consisting of
base and meridian lines, township boundaries, lake and river traverse, have
been carried on in compliance with the several instructions issued.

The survey of the Ontario-Manitoba boundary line was also continued to
the twelfth base line of Dominion surveys in Manitoba.

12 REPORT OF THE No. 3

Certain large islands have been subdivided for summer resort purposes
and additional park lots were laid out at Rondeau Park and Presqu'ile Park.

The town plot subdivisions of lands patented since 1910 have been approved
pursuant to R.S.O. 1910, chapter 34, as follows:

Timmins Addition. South-east quarter of south half of lot 12, concession
3, Township of Tisdale, District of Cochrane.

Timmins Addition. Part of broken lot 2, concession 2, Township of Mount-
joy, District of Cochrane.

Hornepayne. Township of Wicksteed, District of Algoma.

Kirkland Lake Addition. (Wright and Hargreaves subdivision) Township
of Teck, District of Timiskaming.

Municipal Surveys.

Pursuant to sections 15, 16 and 17 of the Surveys Act, petitions for the
re-survey of lines laid out under competent authority have been received from
the Corporations of the Municipalities of:
Township of Beckwith,
Township of Clinton,

County of Lincoln (Townships of Niagara and Grantham).
Surveys performed and confirmed were:
Durie Street, City of Toronto,

First Concession road allowance Township of Clinton.
Detailed reports of the several surveys will be found in Appendices 20 to
42 inclusive.

Provincial Parks.

More and more each year is emphasized the wisdom and foresight in segregat-
ing wild natural areas as forest preserves, playgrounds and sanctuaries for the
preservation of our forests, our game and fur-bearing animals.

The Department in its effort to give the people a faint idea of the value of
Ontario's natural resources, installed the second annual display at the Canadian
National Exhibition, a photograph of which is reproduced and shown on page 132.

The public showed its approval of the display by a record-breaking attend-
ance, the spaces surrounding the exhibit being packed with a dense throng of
interested spectators from early morning until closing time at night.

A picturesque log cabin, typical of the forest ranger's home, snugly set
against a background of Ontario's natural forest trees, pine, spruce, balsam and
birch trees, mingled together into one harmonious picture. It was a section
of the great Northland's out-of-doors, rocks, trees and water, and wild animals,
grouped together in its quaint effect; in other words the out-doors from the
primeval Northland was brought down and installed indoors, affording the
multitude an opportunity to view and inhale the aroma of the wildwood and
greenwood.

The public school teachers of the city embraced the opportunity to bring
the children to view these object lessons, many times more impressive
and more interesting than those derived from cold print. The beaver pond
proved a never-ending source of interest, the family of seven live beaver from
Algonquin Park, playing and chasing each other through and under the water,
and at meal time sitting up and holding a small birch stick between their fore-
paws, contentedly gnawing at their favourite food, the bark of poplar and birch.

Part of the exhibit consisted of live deer, silver foxes, wild turkeys and
pheasants from the Rondeau Park preserve, and sections of trees cut down by

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 13

the industrious beaver. A live wild timber wolf, captured in Algonquin Park,
was shown for the first time in captivity. A part of the exhibit which proved
very interesting was the display of the various kinds of pulpwood used in paper
manufacture. Indian guides were also there making birch-bark canoes and snow-
shoes.

The whole exhibit proved most interesting and educative, and won favour-
able commendation from visitors from all parts of the world, and from the
Board of Directors of the Canadian National Exhibition.

COLONIZATION ROADS.

The sum of $671,184.48 was spent upon Colonization Roads, or $165,000
more than the previous year. Those outlying sections of the Province that do
not benefit from the Provincial Highway system, that are yet for the most part
unsold and unpatented, must of necessity be accorded treatment justly due to
the pioneers, and consequently both organized and unorganized municipalities
received the advantage of this expenditure. New roads were built, old ones
repaired, bridges constructed and maps prepared and plans devised for proposed
improvements.

For detailed expenditure see Appendix No. 46.

NORTHERN DEVELOPMENT BRANCH.

A sum of $2,010,153.23 was expended for development purposes in Northern
and North-western Ontario. Of this amount $1,603,148.53 was expended upon
the construction, maintenance and repair of roads and bridges, or slightly under'
eighty per cent of the total amount expended. The balance, $407,004.76 was
used to advance settlement and colonization, included in which was the making
of loans to settlers through the Settlers' Loan Commissioner.

The report of the Branch will be found on pages 159 to 202 inclusive, Appen-
dices 47 and 48 and that in connection with Settlers' Loans, on pages 207 and
208, Appendix 49.

FORESTRY BRANCH

Forest Survey.

With a view to ascertaining the types of timber upon certain of our hitherto
uncruised and unestimated stretches of country, the Forestry Branch conducted
careful, systematic and expert cruises, using standard machines and collaborating
with experienced ground parties.

Two most important surveys and estimates that will have far reaching results
are, first — one covering a portion of the James Bay watershed, lying between
Cochrane and Moose Factory, and the other an extensive block comprising
over 5,000 square miles in the Sudbury and Algoma Districts.

An excellent example of quickly, accurately and economically segregating
and mapping different types is found in the James Bay Report (see Appendix
No. 50).

14 REPORT OF THE No. 3

Forest Fire Protection.

During the past season a change was made in the field organization of the
region south of the French River. This territory, known as the Ottawa-Huron
region and comprising 10,000,000 acres, was divided into three districts and
placed under technical forest engineers.

Improvement Work: The Forestry Branch is rapidly, installing an over-
head system of lookout towers and telephone communication, in order to secure
quick detection of fires. 175 miles of telephone lines and 28 lookout towers
were constructed this last season. Several hundred miles of roads and trails
were opened and cleaned out; landing docks made for boats and canoes; camping
grounds made in several places; and signs put up directing travellers as to good
camping sites.

During the past season the following new structures were put up — 38
rangers' cabins, three store houses, one car house, one boat house and two oil
houses for the storage of gasoline and oil.

Mechanical. Equipment: Until a few years ago fire fighting in the woods
was done by rangers with shovels and mattocks, carrying water to the fires with
ordinary buckets. To-day our organization has a large number of portable
gasoline engines and pumps which carry from 500 to 1,000 feet of hose. These
small portable pumps have proven of great value; in many cases saving the entire
cost of all pumps purchased up to date. During the last season 16 of these
portable pumps with fire-fighting hose were secured.

For supervision of forest fire protection along railways and territory adjacent
thereto, gasoline power motor cars have been of great assistance. During the
past season seven of these power motor cars were purchased.

On many of the larger waters, power motor boats are being installed for
better protection. During the past season three power motor boats were pur-
chased.

I wish to point out that organized, modern forest fire protection requires
an over-head quick method of detecting fires at their inception, and then improved
mechanical equipment for reaching and successfully fighting them. A consider-
able proportion of our expenditure for several years must be in the nature of
permanent improvements and should be classed as Capital Expenditure.
//~ Air Patrol: During the past season, through an arrangement with the
Air Board, about ten million acres were patrolled by seaplanes. It is the opinion
of the Forestry Branch stafT that air patrol must be used as a factor in reaching
a solution of forest protection.

The fact of the air-craft working over a district has a very salutary effect
on the people using the woods; secures quick and accurate detection of fires
and often permits of landing and actually extinguishing them.

Daily flights of two machines were made, one flying out of Parry Sound,
and one out of Whitney.

Slash Disposal: Some reasonable solution of the slash disposal problem is
one of the most pressing needs in connection with fire protection.

During the last season our field officers have been able to secure consider-
able burning of slash at hazardous points in timber operations through the co-
operation of the operators. I believe that the timber operators on the whole
are prepared to co-operate with the Department in any reasonable slash dis-
posal regulations. This question of regulations can only be carried out in a satis-
factory manner through the direction of the district officers, as slash disposal
is a local problem.

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 15

Forest Fires: During the past season two very bad weather periods devel-
oped, namely, during May and September.

1021 fires occurred and of these 539 did not exceed five acres in size, and
799 did not exceed 100 acres in size. In other words we feel that the organization
is locating fires early and doing good work in extinguishing them quickly.
While exaggerated newspaper reports might indicate a very bad forest fire
season in Ontario, such is not the case. The total acreage burned was 346,000,
which is the smallest since 1918.

When we consider a forest region of 100,000,000 acres under protection,
our total acreage loss will compare very favourably with that of any similar
area in America.

Southern Clay Belt Fire: Reference should be made to the fire which swept
over a portion of the Southern Clay Belt on October 4th, 1922.

This fire passed over an area, over 90 per cent, of which has left the Crown.
The area has developed into a fine farming region, and this fire could scarcely
be designated as a forest fire, although numerous small bush and clearing opera-
tions aided in carrying the fire. Throughout the region numerous clearing fires
were burning during late September. A terrific wind arose on October 4th,
after several days of very dry weather, and within a few hours hundreds of
fires had swept everything before them. This fire passed over areas which have
been cleared and partly under cultivation for over twenty years.

The details of this fire are contained in a special report, following an investi-
gation by the Provincial Fire Marshal. This report was published by The
King's Printer in December, 1922.

Reforestation.

The older more settled portions of Ontario present two outstanding problems
in relation to reforestation.

1. The protection and improvement of the present privately owned
woodlands and the reforesting of the small privately owned waste lands
unsuited for agriculture.

2. The reforesting, through provincial and municipal effort, of the
larger waste land areas scattered throughout older Ontario.

Many districts in older Ontario have less than five per cent, of woodland
left and the solution of this problem is of vital importance to agricultural Ontario.
Throughout Western Europe, where the demand for land to produce food crops
is most pressing, from 15 to 20 per cent, of forest cover is maintained.

Provincial Forest Stations: The policy of establishing demonstration
forest stations in the larger waste land areas was adopted in 1908, when the
Norfolk Station was started. We believe that with the development of several
of these stations in the larger waste land areas as demonstrations and sources
of planting material, a great incentive will be given to both private and municipal
reforestation projects.

Nurseries: The Norfolk Station has in the past produced the nursery
stock for distribution throughout the Province, as well as that for local use.

At this nursery we now have the following plants one and two years old:

16 REPORT OF THE No. 3

Coniferous or Evergreens:

(Chiefly Red, White and Scotch Pine, White Cedar and

Spruce) 14,900,000

Hardwoods:

(Ash, Elm, Maple and Walnut) 596,000

Total 15,496,000

This nursery has developed from an output of 500,000 plants to a capacity
of several millions.

Plantations: A little over 500 acres of demonstration plantations have
been made at this station. The oldest plantations (13 years old) are now from
24 to 25 feet high. The educational effect of these on the locality is shown by
the increasing demand for planting material from private owners who visit this
station.

Prince Edward County Station: Two years ago a forest station was opened
at the Sand Banks in the above County. This is a sand formation of about
600 acres which was owned by the Crown. Owing to the formation of dunes
this sand area was becoming a menace to adjacent farm lands.

During the past season some 500,000 willow and poplar cuttings were
planted in order to check the moving sand.

Orono Forest Station: During the past season this forest station was
opened. One hundred and fifty acres of light land was acquired adjacent to the
village of Orono, in the County of Durham. Throughout this district there is
considerable land adapted to reforestation, and this station will eventually take
care of the requirements of the district for nursery stock in addition to providing
demonstration plantations. Seed bed ground has been prepared and 200,000
seedlings from Norfolk have been planted.

Midhurst Forest Station: One thousand acres of sand land have been
secured at Midhurst, Simcoe County, where a Provincial forest station is being
established.

This land was at one time covered with a pinery and much of it is still
covered with stumps.

Clearing up land for nursery purposes was carried out last autumn and
375,000 one-year-old seedlings were put out in nursery lines.

Municipal Reforestation Projects: Through legislation passed in 1921 the
Province is enabled to co-operate with county and township municipalities in
establishing municipal forests. The municipalities secure the land and the
Province carries out the planting.

In the case of County projects, where large areas are involved, the Province
undertakes the management and care during the earlier years.

In the case of Township projects, which are of a smaller size and in the
form of demonstration plantations, the Province bears the cost of planting, and
the local authorities look after maintenance. Twelve demonstration township
plantations were started last season.

The following County project has been started:

Simcoe County: 1,000 acres of cut-over pine land was purchased by the
County. Last season 60 acres was reforested. Local nursery was opened and
1 -year-old material supplied from the Norfolk Nurseries.

Distribution of Planting Material: The Department supplies free of cost
forest planting material to land-owners throughout the Province. Forest
plantations have been started in all of the older counties during the past few
vears.

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 17

Last season's distribution of trees was as follows:

Private land owners 327,732

Municipal and Provincial projects 731,500

Total .. 1,059,232

The annual distribution previous to last season averaged about 500,000
plants. Our present output has been doubled, and I expect that by the spring
of 1924 the output will reach several million plants per year. During the past
season an inspection was made of 448 plantations. About 84 per cent, of these
plantations are reported as having been successful.

Seed Collection: An effort has been made to secure our forest seed supply
from local sources. A seed collecting centre was established at Angus, in Simcoe
County, where the Department secured a building at Camp Borden for seed
extraction purposes.

Seeds of the native Pines, Spruces and Cedar,

collected 1,334 lbs.

Seeds of hardwood as Walnut, Ash, Maple

and Elm, collected 1,065 bushels.

Honourable Beniah Bowman

Minister of Lands and Forests.

Report of Crown Surveys.

Sir, — During the past year surveys have been carried out on Crown Lands
under instructions from this Department to the extent of 1,000 miles of Provin-
cia' boundary, base and meridian and township boundary Hues, also covering
2,000 miles of lake, river and is and traverse.

Interprovincial Boundary between Ontario and Manitoba.

This boundary survey commenced in 1921 was continued in charge of J.
W. Pierce, Ontario and Dominion Land Surveyor, of Ottawa, and pushed for-
ward to the twelfth base line on the system of Dominion Land Survey, this
being the deflecting point in the boundary as described by the Act of Parliament
of Canada of 1st April, 1912. The Commissioners appointed by the respective
Governments will make a special report on this boundary survey when the final
returns are completed.

Interprovincial Boundary Between Ontario and Quebec.

In order to preserve and perpetuate the existing line it was found expedient
to retrace and remonument the Ontario-Quebec Boundary from a point on
the northerly bank of Lake St. Francis, near Baudette, to a point on the Ottawa
River near Pointe Fortune. In compliance with an Order-in-Council dated
20th day of March, 1922, instructions issued to E. T. Wilkie, Ontario Land
Surveyor, on behalf of this Province, and similar instructions issued to Paul E.
Mercier, Quebec Land Surveyor, on behalf of the Province of Quebec, to carry
on this joint survey. I am glad to report that this retracing of the line was
carried on harmoniously and to the satisfaction of both representatives and the
report on this work will be found herein.

Base and Meridian Lines.

Phillips and Benner, Ontario Land Surveyors, and K. G. Ross, Ontario
Land Surveyor, were engaged on base and meridian line work west of the Nipi-
gon Forest Reserve, in the district of Thunder Bay.

Township Boundaries.
The following surveyors were in charge of township boundary work: —

District of Sudbury, six-mile townships, —
J. W. Fitzgerald.
Chas. V. Gallagher.
McAuslan, Anderson & Moore.

District of Cochrane, nine-mile townships, —
Sutcliffe & Neelands,
Speight & Van Nostrand.

District of Algoma, —

H. J. Beatty.

Cobalt, Ont., February 1st, 1922.
Survey of Small Lakes North and East of Lake Timagami, Districts of

TiMISKAMING AND NiPISSING.

Sir, — In obedience to your instructions dated May 2nd, 1921, to traverse
certain lakes and canoe routes in the Timagami Forest Reserve, I have sur-
veyed as much of my contract as was possible in a season, and beg to report
as follows: —

1. — Routine of Work.

On May 7th I left Cobalt with my party. We packed in supplies to Anima,
Nipissing Lake and corhmenced survey thereof the following Tuesday, May
10th, carrying on through McLean, Carrying and Red Squirrel Lakes down to
Sandy Inlet on Lake Timagami, surveying the small lakes Pickerel, Gull Rock,
Breeches, Mountain and Clearwater from camps on Anima, Nipissing, finishing
this section of the work on June 9th.

On June 10th we moved down through Lake Timagami, Snake Island,
White Bear and into Rabbit Lake, reprovisioning the outfit and commencing
the survey of Rabbit Lake on June 15th. The survey was carried on from here
through White Bear, Snake Island, Obaskong, Net, Cedar and Thieving Bear
Lakes, completing Thieving Bear Lake on the morning of July 28th, and mov-
ing a light camp the same day to Mountain Lake. As the route from Thieving
Bear to Mountain Lake is through a very small winding creek, barely more
than fifteen feet wide in low water, I did not feel that the time necessary to
survey this would be well spent and, therefore, sketched the route and chained
the portages, which are in fair condition. For driving logs, dams will be neces-
sary to raise the water above the low fiat banks of the present creek.

The survey of Mountain Lake was completed on July 29th and camp
moved to mileage 76, T. & N. O. Ry., at Net Lake, on July 30th. A few days
were spent making arrangements to have camp outfit picked up by the way
freight and moved to Doherty Station, and in getting a new supply of provi-
sions. However, with as little delay as possible the survey of Twin Lakes was
commenced on August 4th. After surveying Upper and Lower Twin Lakes
and Lowell Lake, we moved camp on August 12th to a small lake two and one-
half miles south of Doherty. The water was very low and the canoe route
through the northeast corner of Law township had not been in use for ten or
twelve years, so we cut a new portage three-quarters of a mile south into Angus
Lake. This we found to benefit others as well, probably more than twenty
tourists passing through this way in the short time we were surveying Angus
and Caribou Lakes. From here we continued survey through Angus, Jumping
Caribou, Ingall, Brophy, Green, Wasaksinagama, Island, Herr dge, Wilson and
Christy Lakes, finishing this portion of the work on October 12th. On October
13th, I moved camp to T magami Lake, arriving back in Cobalt and paying
off the men on October 14th.

All the work allotted to me was not completed but I have tried to survey
as many lakes as possible along the routes to save going over the same ground
a second time.

62 REPORT OF THE No. 3

The following is the mileage of traverse, calculated by wheeled scale, which

2.— Method of Survey.

(a) Instruments used. — Throughout the whole survey, traverse was made
by stadia readings. Azimuth angles were carried through with the transit
A. C. L. Berger instrument was used and gave perfect satisfaction, both for
stadia distances and for azimuth. The only adjustment necessary at any time
was for level bubbles.

Stadia rods used were made by myself and read direct to tenths of links.
The accuracy of readings being checked from time to time by reading on mea-
sured lines.

(b) Field Notes. — One form of field notes were kept throughout the course
of the work. The notes were transcribed in ink and carefully checked They
show station, azimuth, angle right, bearing and under remarks, the point on
which the reading was taken.

(c) Observations were taken frequently on Polaris for azimuth. The
results are shown in the field notes.

(d) Posts and blazed trees.

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 63

Posts were planted and bearing trees marked at one chain back from the
intersections of the several township boundaries with the shores of the different
lakes.

Around the shores of the lakes at intervals of about a mile, trees were
blazed and marked with a number. In almost every case the number given
was the number of the station of the traverse, but where this was not found
convenient, other numbers were used and are shown on the plans and in the
field notes.

3, — Description of Lakes and Rivers.

In dealing with this heading, on account of the smallness of the lakes and
the general features being the same, I am grouping the surveys similar to 1,
Routine of Work.

(a) Anima Nipissing Lake to Red Squirrel Lake Section.

All these lakes have fairly high rocky shores. The land close to the shores
is not suitable for agriculture, with the exception of a very few isolated -^pots
where the overburden is sufficient to permit farming.

Timber. — The timber throughout this section consists of 8"-16" red pine,
12"-18" scattered white pine, 4"-8" birch, 4"-8" spruce, together with some
cedar and balsam, in the low places. The timber at the northwest end of
Anima Nipissing Lake is not quite as good as the rest of the area described.

Islands. — The islands are, with the exception of one or two small ones on
which the timber has been destroyed by careless campers, well timbered.

(b) Rabbit and White Bear Lake Section.

Considerable timber has been destroyed on Rabbit, White Bear, Snake
Island, and Obaskong Lakes. The standing dead trees do not contribute to the
beauty of the place and give the impression that considerably more timber has
been destroyed than is actually the case. The high shores taking up the rise
in the water level. A fair estimate would be about one chain in width along the
shores of the several lakes, say from six to seven hundred acres.

The timber along the shores of Rabbit Lake consists of jack pine, average
10", red pine 12"-18", birch and poplar, with cedar and balsam. Farthee
north, around White Bear Lake, the timber consists of 4"- 15" red and whitr
pine. Small poplar and birch, spruce and balsam.

(c) Net Lake Section, including Cedar and Thieving Bear Lakes.

The general physical features of this system are very similar to the previous
lakes described. The shores, however, are not quite so precipitous.

The timber consists of 4"- 16" red pine, 4"- 10" white pine, 4"- 18" poplar,
with cedar along the shores together with spruce.

(d) Lake Section through Law and Strathcona Townships.

The shores of these lakes are even more rugged than the lakes previously
described. The country back of the lakes being very rough and rocky.

Considering the amount of rock exposed the timber is very good consisting
of 8"- 16" red and white pine, balsam, birch and poplar, increasing to 6"-20"
red and white pine at Island Lake and carrying through with the same class of
timber to Wilson and Christy Lakes. Very little of this has been destroyed by
fire. The section around Angus, Caribou and Ingall Lakes being very old
brule. The islands, however, are well timbered.

64 REPORT OF THE No. 3

(e) Remarks.

Throughout the course of the survey it has been very noticeable that
the brule area is confined to the T. & N. O. Railway. Apart from portions
close to the railway, due probably to sparks from locomotives and possibly due
to carelessness of the men in the employ of the different construction companies
building the line, there is practically no timber destroyed by fire. This is
probably due to the efficient staff of fire rangers at Timagami.

The section of the Timagami Reserve surveyed last summer is an ideal spot
for tourists. The scenery is beautiful. The canoe routes are not hard. The
lakes are excellent for fishing. At present a great number of people from points
farther north spend their holidays there, as well as pleasure seekers from the
south. There are several dangerous shoals in Timagami Lake even for canoes
in bad weather. These, I feel, should be shown on future maps of the lake.

Appendix No. 21.

Survey of Missinaibi River, Districts of Algoma and Timiskaming.

Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., January 16th, 1922.

Sir, — Under instructions from you dated April 22nd, 1921, to survey the
Missinaibi River from the north boundary of the Township of Sankey to the
Mattagami River, and to complete the survey of Opazatika River from the north
boundary of the Township of Idington to its mouth, I commenced organizing
for this survey May 13th, 1921, leaving Sault Ste. Marie with my outfit and
four men and arriving at Mattice on May 18th. At this point I overhauled
supplies and outfit, and proceeded down Missinaibi River on the twentieth,
arriving below point of commencement the following day.

The problem of transportation on this portion of Missinaibi River is one
of extreme difficulty, particularly at low water. From north boundary to
Township of Sankey the river can be run all the way to Conquering Rapids by
experienced canoemen using poles almost constantly as flow is rapid and boulders
frequent.

Between head of Conquering Rapids and foot of the Long Rapids a distance
of four and a half miles, is sixty per cent, portage. The old portages were re-
cut out by my party as this was absolutely necessary. The approaches to the
portages are hazardous and require careful use of pole and paddle.

At the north side of the Township of Sankey the river is divided into two
channels by Skunk Island reuniting thirty chains north of the line. The eleva-
tion of surface of river here is 645 feet. Half a mile north of Township of
Sankey, Isabell and Alice Islands commence. The river here from Skunk
Island to Isabell Island is almost ten chains wide with easy flow. On either
side of Alice Island the river runs through clay country, but the shores are
marked by stones and occasional large boulders. From the north boundary
of Sankey for about fourteen and one-half miles the river flows moderately
swift, and with easy curves to the head of Conquering Rapids. Surface at head
of rapids is 620 feet and at foot 609 feet with a length of about thirty chains.
At the head of the rapids are four rocky islands, and rock is plainly visible on
the shore.

Thunder House Falls is one-half mile below Conquering Rapids, and is
comprised of three separate falls within twenty chains, elevations at head of
first fall 604 feet, and elevation at foot of third fall being 565 feet. Below this
is a gorge three to four chains wide falling four feet in a length of twenty chains.
At the head of first fall is a solid rock island which seems a favourable dam
site. I consider that a dam twenty feet high, elevation of crest 624 feet, would
be 700 feet long, of which 300 feet would be of moderate height, and would
drown out Conquering Rapids. The difficulty here is the existence of Coal
River running eastward from near foot of Conquering Rapids to a point about
ten miles farther down the Missinaibi River, being a sort of high water by-pass
or channel; whether this could be easily blocked or regulated I cannot say.
Photographs accompanying this report will indicate clearly the nature of possible
dam site.

One mile and three-quarters below lower end of Thunder House Gorge is
the head of Stone Rapids which consists of a series of rapids, chutes and falls
with a total drop of thirty-one feet within a distance of thirty chains. The
sides of the valley of Stone Rapids are clay banks perhaps seventy-five feet
high. There was apparently no chance of favourable power development near

S L.F.

66^ REPORT OF THE No. 3

head of rapids, but possibly a dam could be constructed at or about position of
Post No. 10 as shown on plan, though no natural dam site was noted.

Three-quarters of a mile below Stone Rapids is the head of the Long Rapids,
surface elevation 494 feet. A fair natural dam site exists just below island
"P." Total length of dam with crest at 520 feet would be about 700 feet.
Another natural dam site exists half way down the rapids, marked surface
elevation 451.5 and where there is a drop to elevation 408.3 in about five chains.
This is perhaps the best way to develop power at this rapids as a dam thirty feet
or more above elevation 451.5 feet would only be 400 feet long. Possibly a
a two stage development would be more economic.

The total drop in the four rapids, Conquering Rapids, Thunder House Falls,
Stone Portage Rapids and the Long Rapids is 255 feet. The distance from head
of Conquering Rapids to foot of the Long Rapids is four and one-half miles by
river, so that the total development by low impounding dam at head of Con-
quering Rapids and penstock lines would be a very expensive undertaking.
The water shed area determination is an important factor. Whether it is
possible to utilize Coal River as a power canal in whole, or in part, or to make
development by canal in lieu of penstock or open flume cannot be stated now,
but it appears doubtful. This water power location requires considerable «;nr-
vey and study to ascertain economic development. The water shed area common
to Conquering Rapids, Thunder House Falls, Stone Portage Rapids and the
Long Rapids is about four thousand square miles (noted as 6,500 square miles in
1911 Commission of Conservation Report).

(Note^ — Datum of elevations is base of rail at centre of bridge at Mattice as
750 feet.)

Below the Long Rapids there is no possibility of water power development
on the Missinaibi River. The banks are fifty to one hundred feet high in clay
as far as the Opazatika River, eighty miles from the north boundary of the
Township of Sankey. Below this the banks of the river are fifteen to forty feet
high in clay which is the same formation as throughout the clay belt.

From the foot of the Long Rapids to the mouth of the Mattagami River
there are numerous rapids and gravel bars, work being arduous, both ascending
and descending at all stages, except at high water period. This position is safe
only for men expert with the pole and canoes cannot be loaded to full capacity.

Indications show that the greater part of the Missinaibi River region has
been visited years ago by fire, destroying what was at one time a wonderful
forest. Great areas of timber have since grown up, such as poplar to fourteen
inches, spruce to twenty inches and balsam and birch, but there still remains
many places of almost barren land covered only by heavy growths of small
poplar.

Opazatika River.

The Opazatika River has throughout this survey an average width of
five chains. From the north boundary of the Township of Idington the river
runs almost direct north to Allan Lake about fourteen miles between clay banks.
Allan Lake is about two miles long, east and west, and its area is about two
square miles. A short stretch of about one mile east and west is the connection
to Zadi Lake which is two miles long, east and west, and averages about one
mile in width. All this distance is easy navigation for canoes or motor boats.
Zadi Lake is partly in the Township of Neeley, District of Algoma, and partly
in Township of Nixon, District of Timiskaming. From the foot of Zadi Lake
for five miles down stream the river flows, east and north, to Eleanor Lake, and
the water is swift with one portage.

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 67

Eleanor Lake is about three miles long varying in width from ten chains to
one-half mile and lies east and west. About a mile easterly down stream is
Neshin Lake about one and a half miles long, and lies northeast and southwest;
from foot of Neshin Lake the river runs direct north three miles to the head
of Opazatika Canyon with easy navigation for canoes. There is a fall twenty-
eight feet in about thirty chains, a sort of chute. About two miles north is
Indian Signs Falls, a drop of nineteen feet. From here the river runs westerly
for about four miles, then turns sharply to the north and runs almost direct
north from the point of the Missinaibi River. All this distance the water is
swift, consisting of numerous rapids and chutes. About seventeen miles down
stream from Indian Signs Falls is Mareva Falls a drop of 27.2 feet. . Breakneck
Falls as shown on plan has fifty-three feet of a drop, and is the best falls in the
river, but does not appear to be a feasible water power proposition in the near
future. Below this point the water is swift, with no marked falls to the Missinaibi
River. The last thirty miles of the river are high clay banks from fifty to one
hundred feet high.

There are some very good areas of timber along this river such as poplar
to fourteen inches, spruce to twenty-four inches, balsam, birch and cedar.
Similar to the Missinaibi River region the country has been fire swept years ago,
destroying large tracks of virgin forests which have since grown up to a size to
be of merchantable value. Great areas of almost barren land still remain
covered only with small poplar.

Appendix No. 22.
Survey of Township Outlines, District of Sudbury.

South Porcupine, Ont., January 23rd, 1922.

Sir, — I have the honour to submit the following report on the survey of
certain township outlines in the District of Sudbury, north of the Canadian
Pacific Railway, made by me under instructions from your Department, dated
May 5th, 192L

The survey was commenced at the northwest angle of Township No. 3,
as directed in your instructions, and from this point the first meridian was run
north astronomically to the southerly limit of the Township of Vrooman, and
the second meridian was run north astronomically from the northeast angle of
the said Township No. 3, which is also the northwest angle of the Township of
Muldrew, to the southerly limit of the Township of Westbrook.

From the six, twelve and eighteen mile points on this second meridian, base
lines were run eastward, as chords of parallels of latitude, to the west limits of
the Township of Shelley, Blewett and Hennessy. Between the first and second
meridians the base line at the six mile point was run eastward from the first

68 REPORT OF THE No. S

meridian ; at the twelve mi)e point the base line was run westward from the
second meridian, and at the eighteen mile point the base line was run eastward
from the first meridian, always as chords of parallels of latitude.

The survey was carried out in strict accordance with your instructions, the
lines being well opened out and blazed, and carefully chained, a clinometer
being used on all grades and the horizontal distance calculated. The iron and
the wooden posts were properly placed at the designated points, and the re-
quired mounds constructed, the wooden posts being of the most durable wood
obtainable, six inches square and properly carved.

The entire country enclosed by these outlines is rough and broken with
high hills, there being many lakes, streams, swamps and muskegs, except in the
northerly part of Inverness and Edinburgh, where the country is undulating.

Soil.

The soil throughout almost the entire area is a sandy loam, and not well
adapted for agriculture.

Timber.

The southern part of Battersby Township has been recently burned, but
there is a small stand of good red and white pine along the Spanish River. A
dense growth of small jack pine, spruce and poplar covers the westerly part,
and there is valuable spruce and poplar and jack pine in the northerly and south-
easterly parts of this township.

There is a thick growth of small jack pine, spruce and poplar in the greater
part of Dublin Township, apparently with some large scattered white pine in
the northeast.

The Townships of Marquette, Baynes, Paudash, Brebeuf, Edinburgh and
Inverness appear to be covered with a fair growth of spruce, jack pine, birch
and poplar of valuable size, and scattered white pine up to twenty-four inches,
except on the west side of Paudash where there is an old burn which is now covered
with a dense growth of small timber of the same varieties, and in the north-
westerly part of Inverness where there is a recent small burn.

Minerals.

Granite was encountered throughout the survey and no indications of
economic minerals were observed.

Fish and Game.

Indications and works of fur-bearing animals were common, and the animals,
bear, beaver, mink and muskrat were frequently seen.

Moose were very plentiful, and occasionally a red deer could be seen.

The lakes and streams seemed to abound with pike which were easily taken
at any time.

I have the honour to be, Sir,

Your obedient servant,

Appendix No. 23.
Survey of Township Outlines, District of Sudbury.

North Bay, January 7th, 1922.

Sir, — We have the honour to submit the following report on the survey of
certain township outlines in the District of Sudbury, made by us in accordance
with instructions from your Department, dated May 6th, 1921.

Leaving North Bay on the 9th of June, with our party, we proceeded to
Ramsay Station on the Canadian Pacific Railway, where we had previously
sent out supplies and equipment. From this point we portaged along the east
boundary of the Townships of Cavell and Edith to the northeast angle of the
Township of Edith, which point had been established in our survey of 1920, as
the adjacent angle of four townships, i.e., Edith, Fingal, Osway and Esther.
This point is in a spruce swamp and is marked by a spruce post bearing the
township names, referenced by two bearing trees and witnessed by an iron post
and witness monument, thirty-six chains west astronomically therefrom. From
this point we commenced the survey.

The first procedure was to get an astronomical observation on Polaris for
azimuth. Having made certain of the bearing we ran west astronomically one
mile and twenty-five chains between the Townships of Edith and Esther. From
the same point of commencement, we then ran north astronomically between
the Townships of Esther and Osway, six miles and nine links to the line run in
1920 forming the south boundary of the Township of Fenton. Returning to the
line between the Townships of Esther and Edith, where we had left ofif, we con-
tinued this line west astronomically to the Woman River. Leaving this line we
proceeded by way of the Woman River to the southwest angle to the Township
of Edith. From this point we ran north astronomically between the Townships
Number 18 and Edith, and intersecting our first base line at six miles two chains
and ninety-nine and a half links, which point of intersection established the
adjacent angle of the four Townships, 18 Edith, Esther and Fawn. We then
continued the line north astronomically between the Townships of Esther and
Fawn, six miles and forty-six links, where we intersected the south boundary of
the Township of Garnet. Returning to our first base line, where we had dis-
continued it at the Woman River, we produced it west astronomically between
the Townships of Fawn and 18, to the Meridian run by O. L. S. Speight in 1909.
This completed this portion of the work, which had proceeded very slowly owing
to the excessive heat and the difficulty of getting and keeping men at this time
of the year.

We then travelled by way of the Woman River to the Woman River Station
on the C. P. R. thence to Biscotasing Station and from there proceeded with a
reinforced party by canoe via Biscotasing Lake and Flying Post Creek to the
southeast angle of the Township of Arbutus, which was also established in our
survey of 1920, and marked by an iron post, jack pine post, pits and mounds.
From this point we ran a second base line east astronomically between the Town-
ships of Yeo and Smuts a distance of six miles. At this six mile post we estab-
lished the adjacent angle of the four Townships, i.e., Yeo, Smuts, Invergarry and
Chester, from which we then ran south astronomically between the Townships
of Smuts and Invergarry one mile. Returning to the southeast angle of Arbutus
Township we ran south astronomically between the Townships of Alcona and
Smuts six miles, and at this six mile post we established the southwest angle of

70 REPORT OF THE No. 3

the Township of Smuts, from which we ran a third base line east astronomically
along the south boundary of the Township of Smuts and continued east astron-
omically along the south boundary of the Township of Invergarry to the west
boundary of the township of Vrooman. We then returned to where we left off on
the line between the Townships of Smuts and Invergarry and continued running
this line south astronomically six miles and eight links, where we intersected
our third base line forming the south boundary of the Township of Smuts and
Invergarry. We then returned to the northeast angle of the Township of Smuts
and continued our second base line east astronomically between the Townships
of Chester and Invergarry to the west boundary of the Township of Benneweiss.
Again returning to the northeast angle of the Township of Smuts, we ran north
astronomically between the Townships of Yeo and Chester. We then travelled
across country to the northeast angle of the Township of Arbutus, from which
point we ran east astronomically between the Townships of Yeo and Potier
six miles and twenty-eight links, where we intersected our meridian between
Yeo and Chester, and continuing thence east astronomically between the Town-
ships of Chester and Neville to the west boundary of the Township of St. Louis.
We then returned to our last mentioned meridian and continued running it
north between the Townships of Potier and Neville. We then travelled across
country to the southeast angle of the Township of Prater, from which point we
ran a base line east astronomically between the Townships of Somme and
Potier, and Somme and Neville to the southerly production of the west boundary
of the Township of Jack, where we terminated our survey.

All lines were well opened out and blazed in the regulation manner. Iron
posts were planted where shown on our plan of the survey and at each of these,
pits and mounds were constructed, except where such iron posts were planted as
witness posts, then circular trenches and mounds were constructed in the pre-
scribed manner. Wooden posts of a good material, bearing the number of the
mile carved thereon on the side of the post nearest the initial point of the line,
were planted at each mile and when such mile point came in a lake they were
planted in the line on the nearest shore and marked so as to show their position.
The mileage, however, was not marked on the wooden posts at township corners,
but the township names were inscribed. Where an iron post was planted a
wooden post as also planted near the iron post, but in all cases the iron post was
planted to mark the true point.

Frequent astronomical observations were taken, the records of a number of
which are appended, for the purpose of verifying the course of our lines. All
north and south lines were run as true meridians, while the east and west lines
were run as chords of latitude passing through the township corners. The
magnetic declination was frequently observed, the average being about seven
degrees west.

The country embraced by both the east and west portions of the survey is,
generally speaking, rolling or hilly with some hills reaching the height of two
hundred feet.

Rivers.

No rivers of any size were met with, the Woman River, being the largest,
which is very crooked and for the most part shallow and sluggish with many
rapids and log jams. This river is shown on our plan running northerly through
the Townships of 18, Edith, Fawn and Esther, and our line crosses it no less than
ten times.

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 7t

Lakes.

The lakes were very numerous in the country covered by the east portion
of the survey. The principal ones being Biscotasing, in the southerly part of
Smuts Township, Schist lying both in Potier and Yeo Townships, and Mesome-
kenda extending south across the Township of Neville and into the Township of
Chester. Schist Lake is very shallow in most places and contains a great number
of islands. Biscotasing Lake also contains a great number of islands and is
apparently deep with rocky shores. Mesomekenda Lake is a beautiful body of
deep water with high banks and has few islands. The water in this lake has been
raised several feet by a dam, which accounts for some drowned timber along the
shores.

Soil.

There is very little, if any, agricultural land in the whole of the territory
covered by the survey. The soil is generally of a light sandy or gravelly nature
and is in many places filled with boulders. Many rock outcrops are also in
evidence.

Timber.

The only timber of commercial value met with was in the Township of
Neville and along the nort part of the Township of Chester, also in the north-
east corner of the Township of Potier and along the south boundary of the Town-
ship of Somme. The timber in this area consists chiefly of jack pine up to
eighteen inches in diameter with spruce, birch, balsam and poplar from five to
fourteen inches in diameter, while along the Mesomekenda Lake some red pine
of good quality was observed. The balance of the country, with the exception
of occasional swamps, which are timbered with spruce and cedar up to fourteen
inches in diameter, has been run over by a very destructive fire, some twenty
five or thirty years ago, and is now covered with a dense growth of small jack
pine, birch, spruce and polar.

Minerals.

No precious minerals were observed, but considerable work of prospectors,
now abandoned, was seen along the south shore of Schist Lake, where the forma-
tion is a schist rock with numerous veins of white quartz. The rock formation
met with throughout the survey was generally of a granite gneiss.

Water Powers.
No water power capable of being developed was met with.

Game.

Moose were very numerous and an occasional red deer was seen. Bears
were also plentiful. Considerable indications were seen of beaver and the smaller
game also abounds. Fish were very plentiful in all the lakes we had the op-
portunity to try, but the only kind caught were pike and pickerel.

Accompanying this report, we submit a general plan on mounted paper,
atimber plan on linen, field notes and our account in triplicate.

We have the honour to be, Sir,

Your obedient servants,

McAuslan, Anderson & MoORe.

Survey of Township Outlines in District of Sudbury.

Toronto, December 27th, 1921.

Sir, — We have the honour to submit the following report on the survey of
certain township outlines at the head waters of the Missinaibi River in the
District of Sudbury, performed under instructions from your Department,
dated 15th April, 1921, and supplementary instructions dated 14th July, 1921.

Upon receipt of the instructions, we proceeded with the purchase of supplies
and the organization of the necessary party, and on the 4th June, two canoe
loads of supplies were sent from Missinaibi Station on the Canadian Pacific
Railway to Little Missinaibi Lake, which lay in the centre of the projected work.
These supplies were sent in via Dog Lake, Crooked Lake, Missinaibi Lake and
the Little Missinaibi River. On the ninth of the month the main party left
Missinaibi by way freight for mileage 1413^ on the C. P. R. From that point
Bolkow Lake was reached over a half mile of waggon road, and through the
courtesy of Messrs. Austin and Nicholson, the party and supplies were towed
eight miles to the head of the lake, by one of the launches used by them on the
lake. The southwast corner of the Township of Lang, where our work com-
menced, is about three miles east of the head of the lake, and by the night of the
tenth the party was camped on the banks of Rock Creek, within reach of the
corner.

The next day a commencement was made on the season's work, and the
line between Townships Forty-one and Addison was carried south to the shores
of Rock Lake, from the corner of the Township of Lang, defined by us the previous
summer. The meridian between Townships Forty-one and Addison was con-
tinued south to intersect the north boundary of the Township of Buckland, run
in 1920 by O.L.S. Fitzgerald. The intersection is eleven chains and thirteen
and a half links (11.135 chs.) east of the northwest corner of that township.

Posts of the most durable wood obtainable were planted at the end of each
mile and marked with the mileage from the north end of the line. At the end of
the third mile, and at the north boundary of the Township of Buckland, the iron
posts, supplied by your Department, were planted, and referenced with pits and
mounds according to your instructions.

The boundary between the Townships of Missinaibi and Abbey was then
run eastward a distance of six miles, from the northeast angle of the Township
of Lang. The six mile point fell in the Little Missinaibi River, just where it
leaves the lake of that name. Wooden witness posts were planted on the
banks of the river, where they are intersected by this boundary and by the
other boundaries run from the corner. The iron post was planted on the meridian
between the Townships of Missinaibi and Admiral, six chains north of the
corner. The boundary between the Townships of Abbey and Clifton was next
run south from the six mile point to the intersection of the boundary between
the Townships of Abbey and Addison, which was run eastward from the south-
east angle of the Township of Lang. This corner also lay in water, there being at
the point of intersection, a pond about five chains across. The iron post was
planted south of the pond and wooden posts on the other three sides. The
meridian was then continued south between the Townships of Addison and
Chaplin to the north boundary of the Township of Ramsden. Returning to
the southeast corner of the Township of Abbey, the line between the Townships
of Clifton and Chaplin was run eastward as far as the three mile post.

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 73

The party then proceeded north across Little Missinaibi Lake to the north-
west corner of the Township of CHfton, and ran the line between the Townships
of Admiral and Clifton. From the eastern extremity of this line, the line between
the Townships of Admiral and Busby was run north four and a half miles, and
the line between the Townships of Busby and Brutus run eastward as far as
O.L.S. Fitzgerald's meridian, a distance of somewhat more than three and one-
quarter miles. Returning to the northwest corner of the Township of Brutus,
the meridian between the Townships of Brutus and Clifton, and Chaplin and
Manning, was carried south to the north boundary of the Township of Mageau.
The line between the Townships of Clifton and Chaplin was completed, and the
line carried eastward between the Townships of Brutus and Manning, to O.L.S.
Fitzgerald's meridian.

The party then proceeded again to the northeast corner of the Township of
Abbey and from there ran north between the Townships of Missinaibi and
Admiral, to Missinaibi Lake. The base line between the Townships of Leeson
and Brackin, run by us in 1920, was then picked up and carried east across
Lake Missinaibi to begin the base line between the Townships of Baltic and
Missinaibi. This line was run eastward to intersect the meridian between the
Townships of Missinaibi and Admiral and that meridian was carried north be-
tween the Townships of Baltic and Barclay to Niven's base line of 1899 and 1900,
from that intersection.

From the east end of the base line between the Townships of Baltic and
Missinaibi, the line between the Townships of Barclay and Admiral was run
eastward to the meridian between the Townships of Admiral and Busby. This
meridian was continued north between the Townships of Barclay and Calais, to
Niven's base line. From the northeast angle of the Township of Admiral, the
boundary between the Townships of Calais and Busby was run eastward six
miles. From the six mile post, the east boundary of the Township of Calais
was run north to Niven's base line, and the meridian was then produced south to
the north boundary of the Township of Racine, along the east limits of the Town-
ships of Busby, Brutus and Manning, while the base lines. between these town-
ships were completed easterly to the meridian. This work was finished on 9th
September.

All lines were well opened out and carefully blazed. Where possible,
cairns of stones were built around the posts planted, and except in a few instances
where suitable trees were not available, each post was referenced to two bearing
trees. Wooden posts were selected from the most durable material available
in the vicinity of the point to be marked, and the posts themselves were firmly
planted. The iron posts were carefully placed and the trench or mounds wit-
nessing each post were constructed, as far as possible, to conform with the letter
and spirit of the instructions.

All the east and west lines were run as chords of the parallel of latitude
passing through the corners of the respective townships. Frequent observations
were taken on Polaris throughout the survey and the notes of a number of these
are embodied in the field notes.

General Features.

The townships outlined during the summer's work are almost entirely in
the territory drained by the head waters of the Missinaibi River. Arms of
Missinaibi Lake fill the bottoms of two parallel valleys running northeasterly
through the Townships of Baltic, Missinaibi and Barclay. The drainage basin

74 REPORT OF THE No. 3

of the Little Missinaibi River occupies the central, southerly and westerly por-
tions of the area surveyed, while Hay Creek and its tributaries drain the water
from the northeasterly townships directly into the Missinaibi River, a few
miles below the foot of Missinaibi Lake. Little Missinaibi Lake, a straggling
sheet of water with numerous long winding bays, lies in the southwesterly
portion of a broad depression running in a general northeasterly direction across
the Townships of Addision, Clifton, Busby and Calais. A low divide separates
the waters of this depression near the northeast corner of the Township of
Clifton, and the waters to the southwest flow in a general nortjiwesterly direction,
through a gap in the ridges, to Missinaibi Lake. This stream is the Little Mis-
sinaibi River. The waters of the northeasterly part are the source of Hay
Creek.

The terrain of the townships is of the character common to most of the
lands along the height of land between the waters of the St. Lawrence and
Moose Rivers. Ridges of Laurentian rock rise from two hundred to three hun-
dred feet above the lakes, and the lower lands, where not exposing similar rock,
are covered with coarse glacial deposits of sand and gravel.

The country abounds in lakes. Of these, the largest, exclusive of. Missinaibi
Lake, is Little Missinaibi Lake, mentioned above, which has an extreme length
of about ten miles. There are several others, however, from three to four miles
long.

Timber.

Fire swept through the Townships of Abbey, Missinaibi, the north half of
Admiral, the south part of Busby, and part of Calais, about twenty years ago.
In consequence, a large part of the timber in these townships has been destroyed,
and there is now growing up a dense second growth. Much of this new growth
is jack pine, and in time, provided the district is not again visited by fire, there
will be much valuable tie timber produced. The three southerly townships,
Addison, Chaplin and Manning, contain to-day the most valuable timber.
Good stands of jack pine and spruce were found on each of the meridians bound-
ing these townships, while scattered specimens of white pine were seen on the
west boundary of the Township of Manning.

In general the quality of the timber over the rest of the area surveyed is not
quite so good, but numerous more or less extensive groves of good spruce and
jack pine were interspersed between areas sometimes heavily wooded with
balsam, poplar and birch, but more often covered with somewhat scattered
timber rising above a heavy growth of alder, maple and hazel underbrush.

Rock.

The rock formation is of Laurentian origin and is mainly granite, though
occasional outcroppings of diabase, gneiss and feldspar were seen. The area did
not seem quite so promising from a mining standpoint as that surveyed in the
previous year, but the rock is of the same general character, and it is possible
that thorough prospecting will disclose mineral bearing formations worthy of
attention by the miner.

Soil.

These townships are entirely unsuitable for agriculture. Where the rock
is not expQsed, the surface is covered with sand, gravel and boulders. There
are, however, extensive marsh lands on either side of Hay Creek, in Calais
Township, which migtit possibly be utilized some day for the production of hay.

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 75

Water Power.

Little Missinaibi River is the only stream in these townships capable of
power development. This stream drains about one hundred and fifty square
miles of territory. It has a potential storage basin of considerable size in Little
Missinaibi Lake, and in the five miles from that lake to its outlet in Missinaibi
Lake, there are two falls and a long series of rapids to produce adequate head
for power purposes.

Fish and Game.

Moose seem to be extremely plentiful, and in June were seen in all the
lakes and streams. Sixteen of them were counted at one time feeding in one
of the small lakes. The lakes and streams were well stocked with pike and
pickerel, but so far as we were able to discover, no trout or bass are in the waters
The central and westerly townships have been apparently thoroughly trapped
during the past few years, but in the Townships of Calais, Busby and Brutus,
many signs of beaver activities were seen and each creek and pond apparently
had its colony.

Canoe Routes.

Missinaibi Lake, mentioned above, forms part of the historic route between
Moose Factory and Lake Superior, and was, in the early days of this country,
one of the main thoroughfares for the transports of the Hudson's Bay Com-
pany. Little Missinaibi Lake may be reached by the Little Missinaibi River,
from either Peterbell on the Canadian National Railways, or Missinaibi on the
Canadian Pacific Railway, in about a day and a half, or during high water, it
may be reached with equal or greater facility via Bolkow and Angigaming Lakes
from mileage 1413^ on the Canadian Pacific Railway. There is a somewhat
indifferent canoe route up Hay Creek, and by a chain of lakes south to Lake
Seseginika, through the easterly tier of townships.

Survey of Base and Meridian Lines, District of Thunder Bay,

Port Arthur, Ont., December 31st, 1921.

Sir, — I beg to report that in accordance with your instructions dated
April 15th, 1921, we have completed the survey of certain base and meridian
lines in the District of Thunder Bay.

This survey was commenced on the easterly shore of Muskeg Lake at a
birch post planted by O.L.S. Fawcett at a distance of twenty-nine chains east
from the southeast angle of Grand Trunk Pacific Block No. 4. From this point

76 REPORT OF THE No. 3

the first base line was run east to intersect the southerly production of the west-
erly boundary of the Black Sturgeon River Pulp and Timber Limit, surveyed
by our firm in 1918. This line was run in six mile chords of a parallel of latitude.

From the sixth to eighteenth mile posts on the first base line the first and
second meridians, respectively, were run north astronomically. From the
twelve mile post on the second meridian the second base line was run east to
intersect the westerly boundary of the Black Sturgeon River Pulp and Timber
Limit, and from the same point was also run west to intersect the fir.-t meridian
and continued west to intersect the easterly limit of Grand Trunk Pacific Block
No. 5. This base line was also run in six mile chords of a parallel of latitude.

A standard iron post was planted at the point of commencement. The
first mile post was planted at a distance of 51.00 chains east from this point.
The numbering of the mile posts on the first base line is from one to six to the
first meridian, from one to twelve between the first and second meridians and
from 1 to 17M + 78c.81 east of the second meridian. The meridians were
numbered from south to north from one to twelve. The second base line was
numbered from 1 to 17M + 75c.50 east of the second meridian, from 1 to 11M +
76c. 86 between the second and first meridian, from 1 to 14M + 68c.25 west of
the first meridian. Iron posts were planted at the points indicated in your
instructions. It was found necessary to erect seven witness monuments, and
the unfortunate part of this is that four of these were for intersections.

Survey Lines.

The lines established by an Ontario Land Surveyor were the boundaries
of Grand Trunk Pacific Blocks 4 and 5, and the west boundary of the Black
Sturgeon River Pulp and Timber Limits. The former were surveyed by O.L.S.
Fawcett in 1907, and the latter by ourselves in 1918. The south easterly corner
of Grand Trunk Pacific Block 5 has been burned over since the lines were run,
and we had some difhculty in locating it. The other lines are all in good con-
dition.

We also found the trial lines of the survey of the Nipigon Savanne route of
the Canadian Pacific Railway. These were crossed in the fifth and sixth miles
of the first meridian. From here the general course of these lines is easterly
to a point about three miles north from the easterly end of the first base line.

Topography,

The country generally is not rough, the hills seldom being over one hundred
feet in height. From the heights of the hills shown in the field notes a fairly
accurate profile of the lines could be plotted as these heights were obtained by
calculation from the clinometer readings.

The westerly eleven miles of the second base line is nearly all level country,
there being numerous shallow lakes and long stretches of muskeg and swamp.
The roughest country is towards the easterly end of the second base line.

Soil.

The agricultural possibilities of the area covered are rather poor. The
soil for the most part ranges from sand to sandy loam. The best soil is in the
valleys of the Dog and Des lies Rivers. The quality of the soil improves grad-
ually towards the east. On the second base line west of the second meridian
the soil is nearly all sandy loam and the subsoil in the swamps is of a sandy

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 77

nature. This belt extends through to the railway and should make good grazing
land judging by the growth of grasses.

There are no outcrops of rock over extensive areas but the soil is shallow
over the greater part of the ground covered and boulders are to be found in
nearly all of it.

Rock Formation.

Granite and granite gneiss are the principal rocks. The only mineral
found was magnetite. This was first indicated by the marked variation of the
needle near the eleventh mile east of the first meridian on the first base line.
Samples examined appeared to contain a good percentage of iron. We under-
stand that several mining claims have been staked on iron formation in the region
west of Little Pine Lake and that a favourable report has been made on the
same.

Timber.

The timber plan accompanying this report shows the areas of burned
country and the areas of green timber. The area shown as brule had been burned
over at least twice and there now remains a very small amount of green timber.
This area is now covered with a healthy growth of poplar and jack pine with a
dense growth of underbrush. The area shown green comprises two distinct
forest areas. One of these is covered with a stand about twenty-five to thirty
years old. In this poplar and jack pine are the main species and there is about
an equal amount of each. Birch and spruce are the other species. There are
also considerable areas of swamps containing valuable spruce within the area
above mentioned. The remaining portion of the area coloured green contains
timber of sufficient size to be marketable. Of this the best timber is within a
short haul of the Dog River and the west branch of the same. On the high ground
jack pine is the predominant species and this is of sufficient size for the manu-
facture of ties. On the low ground is found good stands of spruce of sufficient
size for pulpwood. This timber could all be brought down the Dog River, but
it would mean a drive of two seasons to land it at the railroad as the lower
stretch of the Dog River is flooded for several miles back from Dog Lake and
there are several small lakes to be crossed.

The timber near and along the west boundary of the Black Sturgeon River
Limit is larger than that along the Dog River, but at present is not very acces-
sible to any good waterway. Spruce is the main species found here, and it ranges
up to twenty-four inches in diameter, but there is a great amount of it that is
decayed and much has been brought down by storms. In this section there was
a considerable area burned over during this year. The fire that destroyed it
was first noticed about July 4th, and from bearings taken would appear to have
started up about midway between the two base lines. The fire continued to burn
for about two weeks, but as there was very little wind during the time it is not
likely that a larger area than that shown was burned. It has not worked as
far south as the last base line by the time that we had completed this, but there
is a chance that it may have crossed it later. The cause is unknown.

Routes, Waterways, Etc.

Our supplies were all taken in via Kelly on the G. T. P. division of the
Canadian National Railways. From the railway a good portage of about one
mile leaves at near the seventy-fifth mile board. This leads to Lower Kaogomok
Lake (known locally as Canoe Lake). The route then is via Muskeg River to

78^ REPORT OF THE No. 3

Muskeg Lake and then to Dog River. There are no rapids on the Muskeg
River between Kaogombk and Muskeg Lakes though there is a portage that
saves considerable time when travelling light. From Muskeg Lake to Dog
River there are numerous portages and this portion of the river would be very
difficult to travel in the late summer.

Our main cache was established near the mouth of the Muskeg River, and
from here supplies were carried to the main party via Des lies River. The port-
ages on the Dog and Des lies Rivers are fairly well mapped, though on the latter
it is necessary to make more portages during the dry months. Both the east
and west branches of the Dog River were travelled and improved. There is a
much greater volume of water coming down the west branch.

We did not use the canoe routes on the easterly eighteen miles of the two
base lines. The routes on the first base line are in a north and south direction,
and so of no use to us. The Muskrat River is about seven feet deep at high
water, but at the time that we crossed it there was scarcely a foot of water, and
the river is filled with driftwood. On the second base line the portage route to
the east was found but was not used. The route from Lac Des lies to the east
branch of the Dog River was found and used. It is mapped fairly well though
our men reported that there were new ones now used in some places.

Lac Des lies is one of the finest lakes that we have seen in this district.
There are over one hundred islands and the water is clear, though not of great
depth.

The route we used in coming out was via Grassy Narrows, Ricetalk, Upper
and Lower Kaogomok Lakes, Ricetalk Lake is very shallow and is completely
filled with wild rice and forms a good feeding ground for wild fowl.

Moose, deer and bears are quite numerous as are also the smaller fur-
bearing animals. Most of the country is trapped. The only fish caught were
pike, though it is likely there are trout in Lac Des lies. Partridge were particu-
larlv numerous.

The magnetic variation ranges from zero and o le degree east. The only
marked difference was as mentioned previously under "rock formation."

No falls of any size were found on the rivers, and it is unlikely that there
are any water powers of any consequence within this work.

The heat during the months of June and July was excessive, especially
as we were for a considerable part of this time in fairly open country. There
was no frost during the months that we were in the field.

We have the honour to be. Sir,

Your obedient servants,

Phillips and Benner.

Survey of Lower French River, in the Districts of Parry Sound and

Sudbury.

Little Current, Ont., January 24th, 1922,

Sir, — I have the honour to submit to you the following report on the
survey of the Lower French River, in the Districts of Sudbury and Parry Sound,
which survey includes the western outlet, known as the Bad River, the Middle
Outlet, or Main French River; the outlet known as Bass Creek; and the Eastern
Outlet. The survey also includes the Pickerel River, and the large island 3382
T.P. which is bounded on the north and west by the Wahnapitae River. The
survey extends from the Georgian Bay up to near the east boundary of the Town-
ship of Mowat. I also retraced the boundaries of the town plot of Copananing,
as instructed.

Instructions for the above were issued from your Department, dated
Toronto, May 16th, 1921.

Proceeding from here with my party on the 18th of June by motor boat,
I arrived at Point au Girondine the same evening, and on the following Monday,
20th June, we arrived at our first camp, a short way up the Bad River. The
work at the mouth of this outlet was commenced the following day.

The survey was made by means of a stadia. The rodman also used a stadia
and checked the readings on all the main stations which eliminated almost en-
tirely the chance of error in the main traverse.

Frequent observations of Polaris for azimuth were also made, and the
bearings deduced for the purpose of checking the bearings as we proceeded.
On the railroads we made several tests of the stadia readings on carefully mea-
sured distances with a steel tape, the results of which are shown in the returns
of survey. The necessary correction has been applied in plotting the traverse.

Cedar posts, mostly about five or six inches square, were planted at prom-
inent points, from about forty to eighty chains apart. Cedar posts were also
planted on all islands where stones were convenient to mound them. The
numbers were cut on them in Arabic numerals. These posts are shewn in the
field notes and plan. On the large islands at several of the numbered posts, a
post was also planted with the number of the island cut thereon, and shewn in
the notes. Beside numbers posts on islands are marked T.P.

With only one or two exceptions, all posts were well mounded up with
large stones, the mounds being from four to six feet at the base, and at least two
feet high. The posts were planted well above the high water.

On account of the scarcity of cedar in several localities, it often required the
services of an extra man to keep us supplied with posts.

Iron bars, one inch square, were also planted at the places indicated in the
field notes and plan.

A peculiarity observed in the retracing of the boundaries of the town plot
of Copananing, and several of the interior streets which we also retraced, was
that no original posts or traces of them whatever could be found in the low
lying places between the rocks.

The measurements shewn on the boundaries of the Indian Reserve in the
Township of Mowat were made by me in a re-survey of the Reserve for the
Department of Indian Affairs in 1912.

In the plotting of the Canadian Pacific Railway location from records
furnished me across Island 3464 T.P., it will be observed that it closes fairly well

80 REPORT OF THE No. 3

with my traverse when the bearings of the tangents have been adjusted to
agree with what I found the actual bearings to be at the crossings of the French
and Pickerel Rivers. The short spirals I have included with the tangents.
The plotting of the Canadian National Railway location from records also
furnished me closes fairly well also.

In one of the larger outlets of the Bad River, Stations 52 to 53, I have
made a rough estimate of the horse-power at a fall. The other outlets of the
Bad River are very broken and irregular, and until the water is much higher an
attempt at an estimate would be a very rough approximation. I might say too
that while working in that vicinity the water suddenly lowered considerably,
caused no doubt by the holding up of the water on the Wahnapitae in driving
saw-logs. An estimate was also made at the falls at Station 400, on the main
French River. At Station 334, at the east end of the big island 3464 T.P.,
where there is some fall and volume in high water, there was a mere trickle of
water. At Station 343 at Horseshoe Rapids, there was a small volume going
through, but probably a much more accurate estimate could be made in high
water. The estimate at this latter point was overlooked, however. At Station
203 on the fall near Copananing an estimate was also made. The above estimates
accompany the field notes.

The whole country is Laurentian rock. In the lower levels adjoining
Georgian Bay, it is a succession of parallel rocky ridges in a southwesterly
course, and from about six to thirty feet high. In some of the Copananing
vicinity the ridges are very tedious to travel through. Farther up it changes
into a rolling country with a few precipitous hills.

Through the whole country there are small patches of tillable soil mostly
sand of all grades of fineness and fertility, with occasionally gravel and boulders.
In the clearings it was observed that fairly good crops were growing. In the
valleys of the Wahnapitae River and Beef Tea Creek there is apparently good
clay land, and mostly devoid of much rock. There are apparently no con-
siderable tracts of tillable land. The settlers at the C.N.R. crossing on the
Pickerel River mentioned that there are in that vicinity some large patches of
good land on Island 3464 T.P.

The timber consists principally of jack pine ranging in size from a scrubby,
two inches in diameter, adjoining Georgian Bay, and in other small tracts, to a
general distribution through the region traversed of a diameter of from four to
ten inches. Poplar and white birch, balsam, spruce, and an occasional thicket
of cedar, all up to a diameter of about ten inches, are found generally throughout.
In many places a new growth of white and red pine of from three to six inches
diameter was observed. There will probably be in a few years a considerable
amount of merchantable pine. There are groves of very good large white and
red pine in several places. In the valleys of the Wahnapitae River and Beef
Tea Creek, in addition to the timber mentioned, except jack pine, there is con-
siderable soft maple, ash. Balm o' Gilead, elm and some red oak. There are a
few patches of old brule, here and there, in the whole country traversed.

Accompanying the returns I have prepared a timber map on which I have
shewn in colours the distribution of the various timbers. All the timber is of
good quality, except that probably a great deal of the scattered large white and
red pines are faulty.

Some hard maple bush was observed at Location D.B. 3 on Island 3464 T.P.
This is a very fine location.

The country generally is very attractive to the tourist. With the exception
of the immediate vicinity of Georgian Bay, and probably one-half at the most of

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 81

the north shore of the big island 3464 T.P. which is too precipitous, the shores
of the whole country nearly are very suitable for cottage sites, a great proportion
of them which would be especially attractive. On the French River between
Stations 400 to 414 on the north side of the big island 3464 T.P. referred to on
account of the rapids at those stations, that part of the river is inaccessible to
motor craft.

Sand beaches so essential to summer cottages are very numerous, and in
fact are to be found almost everywhere. For the greater part the Pickerel
River and its expansions at Islands 3512 T.P. and 3520 T.P. is particularly
desirable for cottages.

There are also a considerable number of nicely wooded islands very suitable
for cottages. I have mentioned these specially in the index. There are a good
many islands too, not so well favoured, that would be considered fairly desirable.

Black bass, pickerel and pike are very abundant.

A few rattlesnakes, apparently the Crotalus Horridus, were met with near
the shores of Georgian Bay. They are perhaps the most numerous on the west
side of the main outlet of French River at the mouth. On the east side at
French River village they are very seldom found, it is said. A short distance
up the several branches of the river there are apparently none at all.

I have the honour to be, Sir,

Your obedient servant,

Ontario Land Surveyor.

Survey of Timber Berths near Ignace, District of Kenora.

Port Arthur, Ont., February 4th, 1922.

Sir, — In accordance with instructions dated August 22nd, 1921, and re-
ceived September 9th, we beg to report that we left for Ignace on September
15th to survey certain timber berths.

The survey was started at the post planted by O.L.S. Stewart to mark
the south limit of the right of way of the Canadian Pacific Railway on the west
boundary of Township 22. An observation was taken here and the line run
south, a traverse of the railway having first been made to connect this point with
the four mile post on the Canadian Pacific Railway in order that the northeast
angle of timber berth D could be fixed.

At a point on the west limit of Township 22, two miles and seventy chains
south of the northwest angle thereof, a trial line was run east to connect with the
southwest angle of location L.K. 84, the offset was measured and the true line
run to form this portion of the north limit of the Walsh Tie Company's Limit.

At a point on the west limit of Township 22, five miles and twenty-six
chains, fifteen and four-tenths links south of the northwest angle thereof, a
line was run east thirty-two chains three and five-tenths links to the northeast

6 L.F.

82 REPORT OF THE No. 3

angle of timber berth D, this line was also run west two miles and forty-seven
chains ninety-six and five-tenths links to the northwest angle of timber berth D,
making a total distance of three miles. From the angles thus established lines
were run south, the easterly limit being run south three miles and then west to
intersect the west limit run south from the northwest angle as established above.

From a point on the west boundary of Township 22, five miles and thirty
chains south of the northwest angle thereof, a line was run east to Ignace Lake
forming the south limit of the Walsh Tie Company's Berth.

From a point on the west boundary of Township 22, six miles south of the
northwest angle thereof, a line was run west six miles and seventy-four links to
intersect the production south of the west boundary of Township 24.

The east limit of Township 22 was run by producing the line joining the
iron bar planted on the north limit of the right of way of the Canadian Pacific
Railway with the bar planted at the nine mile post by O.L.S. Stewart, it being
impossible to get an observation at this point on account of cloudy weather.

At a point one mile and a half south of the nine mile post an observation was
obtained and the line corrected.

At a point on the east limit of Township 22, three miles south of nine mile
post, the southeast angle of the township was established and a line was run west
to intersect the west limit of the township as run. From this latter intersection,
being the southwest angle of Township 22, the west limit of the township was
produced south two miles, thence a line was run west one and one-half miles,
thence south four miles; thence east seven miles and forty-one chains and
seventy-seven and seven-tenths links to intersect the production south of the
east limit of Township 22.

From the southeast angle of Township 22 the east limit thereof was pro-
duced south six miles, two chains and fifty-eight links to the southeast angle of
the Walsh Tie Company's limit.

From points on the production south of the east limit of Township 22,
distant one and one-half miles and three miles, respectively, from the southeast
angle of the said township, lines were run east; that run from the three mile
point was run east two miles and forty chains and from this point a line was
run north to intersect that run from the one and one-half mile point. Subse-
quently lines were run similarly from the half-mile and two mile points on the
said production of the said limit, for the north and south limits of the W. J.
Smiley Timber Berth and the line first run was used for that portion of the east
limit covered by it, and this line was produced north to intersect the north limit
of this berth.

From the northwest angle of Township 22 and the southeast angle of
Township 24, a line was run west to intersect the west limit of Township 24, as
established by O.L.S. Stewart and produced south. ■ From this intersection a
line was run south to intersect the line run west from a point in the production
of the west limit of Township 22, distant six miles measured south thereon from
the northwest angle of the said township.

Along the east limit of Township 22 and its production six miles south a
line was found to have been run presumably by O.L.S. McMeekin, of Kenora;
this is shown in the field notes, also a similar line along the south limit of Town-
ship 22 was found which is also shown in the field notes.

The lines were well cut out and blazed, those lines which formed part of
the six-mile system being blazed on three sides and the others on two. The
lines were posted every mile and at the corners of berths and the name of the

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 83

berth marked on the posts. Iron posts were planted as shown on the plan and
field notes.

A timber plan is included in the returns which shows the nature of the
timber as seen from the lines. Nearly all the area shown as having green tim-
ber on it has been cut over at some time, the country east and south of Ignace
Lake particularly being full of old logging roads and lumber camps. Practically
the only large area of timber which appears to be untouched is that portion lying
south of Poplar Lake and an approximate line joining the east end of Poplar
Lake to the two mile post on the east limit of Timber Berth D. These lumber-
ing operations appear to have extended over a period dating from about twenty
years ago up to the present time.

This area appears to be unsuitable for farming to any large extent, the soil
being either swamp or sand and a large part is rocky. The portions shown as
burnt on the timber plan are in general covered with a young growth of jack
pine, poplar and spruce, and reforest themselves if not prevented by fires. The
country is full of lakes of varying sizes and should be ideal from the point of
view of the hunter and trapper, as it appears to be well stocked with game and
fur-bearing animals.

Appendix No. 28.
Survey Kenogami River, Districts of Thunder Bay and Algoma.

Fort William, Ont., February 17th, 1922.

Sir, — I have the honour to report that in accordance with your instructions
of date May 2nd, 1921, to traverse the Kenogami River and its expansions, in
the Districts of Thunder Bay and Algoma, I started out from Fort William on
the morning of July 19th, with three men, via Canadian Northern Railway,
having secured the necessary supplies and shipped them in advance to Long
Lac. I wish to say, in explanation of the late start, that I was held here in
connection with the straightening up of my late father's estate, and so was
unable to start out at an earlier date.

I had made arrangements to secure the services of three Indians through
the courtesy of one of th* fur companies at that point, but when I arrived they
were waiting to be paid their treaty money. This necessitated a further delay
of two days, which we spent in getting supplies and outfit in shape to the pack,
and in testing out the stadia.

On the morning of July 22nd we started downstream, and after we had
covered the first mile from the outlet (which is very swampy, flooded in places
and hard to get solid ground for stations), we found the traversing very good.

84 REPORT OF THE No. 3

We ran across a Canadian Northern Railway location party during this first
day's work, who were running trial lines across to the C. G. Ry.

The country tributary to the Kenogami, between Long Lac and Pine
Lake, is low, fairly level and swampy back from the river. The soi is clay
and clay loam covered with, on an average, a foot of moss and spruce of small
diameter. Along the banks, the timber grows heavier, but this is noted on the
plan, so I will not refer further to it here.

As we neared Pine Lake the country became rather undulating and fairly
rocky along the banks of the river. We reached Pine Lake on the 3rd of August.
This lake is divided into two, — the upper half is about nine miles long and runs,
in a general way, in a northerly direction; the lower half is about five miles
long and runs, in a general way, northeasterly. They are both fairly deep, with
rocky bays and beaches, being most noticeable in its southerly portion of the
upper half, where we ran across an old mining location, in fact there are indica-
tions of iron in all this formation.

The country surrounding Pine Lake is very hilly and rocky for about half
a mile, and then level, swampy country, being densely covered with spruce of
6 inches to 12 inches diameter; near Pine Lake and Lower Kenogami, — balm
of gilead, poplar, B. pine, spruce, W. birch and scrubby cedar are mostly notice-
able. The soil is mostly clay and clay loam with sandy loam on the ridges,
mixed with gravel in many cases and rocky for the most part. Back from the
lake the clay is covered with one foot of moss.

The country in the vicinity of Arm Lake is much the same as around Pine
Lake, only not quite so rocky. Proceeding downstream it is fairly swampy and
open and on the north side is a brule which possibly extends to the C. G. Ry.

The country around the next lake expansion, in the vicinity of Fernow
River, is very low and swampy. Spruce of three to twelve inches diameter
growing rather densely around the lake.

As we approached the C. G. Ry., it became airly rocky and we ran across
several falls, the details of which I have set out in Schedule "A," attached
hereto. We brought the traverse to the C. G. Ry. track on the 23rd August.
Here my th ee Indians decided to quit. However, we carried the traverse on
to the north boundary of Barlow Township. I was unfortunate enough to injure
my only transit in a rapid above the track, so took the opportunity to run into
Winnipeg and have it fixed, as my supplies for northern part of trip had not
yet turned up, and I had, in addition, to replace three men.

On September 1st, we continued the traverse downstream, arriving at the
Pagwachuan River on the 16th of September. The country tributary is, gen-
erally speaking, low and level and swampy, back from the river, clay soil cov-
ered with one foot of moss and spruce one to five inches diameter. After we
leave the C. G. Ry., the banks become higher, forty to fifty feet in some instances,
and are composed of clay and gravel, The river is very much wider, swift and
shallow, although we had more water than in the Pagwachuan last season.
There is some spruce of good diameter along the banks, and in places a very
old brule with second growth timber, poplar and dense growth of willows. We
ran into the big brule about Mile 110.

We started back upstream on the 18th September, arriving at the Flint
River on the evening of 19th. The next day we started up the Flint River.
This river has been well named by the Indians-, "Pewahahasibi" (Crooked River),
it certainly is crooked and narrow, necessitating short stations, which slowed
up the work considerably. Between the Moose River and the C. G. Ry. we
had to fairly cut our way through the overhanging and intertwining cedar.

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 85

There is some very good spruce on this river, mostly in a small belt extend-
ing back about ten chains on an average from the river bank, then the spruce
swamp with spruce one to five inches diameter.

On arrival at the C. G. Ry. my two transport men quit, and I continued
on with the remainder of the party and two canoes.

The country from here to Flint Lake is level and swampy for the most
part, and the great portion of it has been burnt over. We reached Flint Lake
on Saturday, the 15th of October, after quite a strenuous trip, there being nine-
teen portages between the C. G. Ry. and the lake, the majority of which we
had to open up. I do not believe this river is used even by the Indians as a
canoe route. As we neared the lake we ran into a big marsh and it was exceed-
ingly difficult to get solid ground for stations.

We had also run short of provisions, so I decided, in view of this fact and
that ice had been forced in the marsh for several days, to return to the railroad,
which we did, and entrained for Fort William on the 18th of October, arriving
here the following day.

The notes of soil and timber, I have put on the plans in detail. I have not
made a summary of the bearings and distances of courses as I had already put
them on the plans using azimuth angles only for intermediate readings. I have
summarized the report on water power and islands, with their descriptions and
acreages, in Schedules "A" and "B," respectively, attached hereto. In my
preliminary report on water power in the Townships of Goodwin and Barlow,
I used my local cross sections for calculating the run off and the discharge was
found to be excessive. The revised list, which I calculated on the basis of
4-10 c.f.s. average minimum discharge per square mile, I hope will be found
satisfactory.

Game.

The country between the C. N. Ry. and the C. G. Ry. abounds with game
of every description, moose, bears and muskrats were plentiful; a few beaver^
otter and mink were also encountered.

North of the C. G. Ry. although moose and caribou were numerous, we
met with very few of the other fur-bearing animals. I, however, had the pleasure
of seeing a white fox while making a trip up Caribou Creek. Speckled trout
and pike also abound south of the C. G. Ry.

It will be noticed that on the plan there are a few islands without any
designating letter. These are really only sand and gravel bars covered with a
dense growth of long grass.

We suffered no severe mishap throughout the trip, although the canoes
always suffer a good deal when readings are being given on the shores of the
various lakes, which are invariably rocky. This is more especially realized
when the lake is at all rough. We had quite a lot of rain during the season,
but lost very little through it.

The plots of traverse of the Kenogami and Flint Rivers are now complete
and are being forwarded to you with observations, accounts and vouchers in
triplicate, all of which I hope will be satisfactory.

I have the honour to be. Sir,
Your obedient servant,

Roy S. Kirkup,

Ontario Land Surveyor.

REPORT OF THE

No. 3

t Appendix No. 29.

Certain Base and Meridian Lines, District of Thunder Bay.

Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., September 30th, 1922.

Sir, — I beg to submit the following report on certain base and meridian
lines in the District of Thunder Bay surveyed during the summer of 1921, in
accordance with instructions from the Department of Lands and Forests,
dated April 22nd, 1922.

Base Line, Thunder Bay District.

I left Sault Ste. Marie by boat, on May 17th, with an assistant, two chain-
men and four Indians, and was joined at Fort William by four Indians from
Chapleau. We took the C. N. R. train to Tannin on May 19th. I had arranged
to have eight local Indians join me at this point but not one was there. I hired

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 87

a Russian and Swede and commenced work on the 22nd May with this small
party. A week later I returned to Tannin and endeavoured, without success,
to get men in that district, and was forced to telegraph to the Sault for six
Indians. These men joined us on the 12th of June.

Our place of beginning was a point in the east boundary of the Grand
Trunk Pacific Railway Block No. 7, at a distance of six miles north from the
southeast angle of that block. This point was established by running east
astronomically from a witness post on a point in Palette Lake and offsetting
eleven chains and forty links south. I ran my base line east astronomically on
six mile chords from the end of the third mile. The first three miles being con-
sidered as the easterly half of a chord passing through the 96 mile post on O.L.S.
Niven's meridian. I intersected my meridian of 1921 at 32 miles 46 chains
16 links on the base line. I continued my base line east astronomically 41
miles 64 chains 16 links, to the west boundary of the Nepigon Forest Reserve,
run by Phillips & Benner in 1920. My posting from the west to east ran,
respectively, zero to 32 miles 46 chains 16 links, 0 to 24 miles, 0 to 17 miles
64 chains 16 links, in accordance with the marked plan accompanying my
instructions. From the point 24 miles east of my meridian of 1920, I ran north
astronomically 37 miles 43 chains and 26 links to the Canadian Government
Railway and arrived back in Sault Ste. Marie on the 5th of August.

A bush fire from the southwest was burning the territory traversed by the
first eighteen miles of my base line during the progress of the work, and had it
not been for the proximity of large lakes all along this section, it would have
been much too dangerous to carry on. Heavy rains extinguished the fire at
the time when it threatened to block me completely.

The party consisted of twenty-one in all, made up as follows: — -

1 Surveyor.

1 Assistant,

2 Chainmen,
1 Cook,

1 Cookee,

5 Axemen,

5 Packers on line,

4 Packers with freighting canoes,

1 Geologist attached to party.

This distribution was maintained throughout the whole course of the sur-
vey except for the last twenty-five miles of the msridian, when I put on two
extra choppers and sent two men out to the railway with the canoe.

Soil.

There are no areas in the country traversed by these lines suitable for
agriculture. The covering is ninety-five per cent, gravel and boulders and five
per cent, solid rock.

Minerals.

I found no trace of valuable minerals. The formation along the base line
and the southerly twenty miles of the meridian is Laurentian, and the northerly
seventeen miles of the meridian is Kewatin and schists.

88 REPORT OF THE No. 3

Timber.

From our starting point to the 25th mile of our base Une a bush fire was
raging through the second growth timber of this area. This fire was reported
to have started somewhere in the neighbourhood of the C. P. R. west of Fort
William and travelled through to the Canadian Government Railways east of
Allenwater. Heavy rains extinguished it about the 12th June. The timber in
this section is of no great commercial value, at present being about fifteen years
old. From the 25th mile on my base line to the western boundary of the Nepi-
gon Forest Reserve and through the southerly twenty-five miles of my meridian
there is a uniformly good stand of spruce, poplar, birch and banksian pine,
ranging from four inches to sixteen inches in diameter. The northerly twelve
miles of my meridian runs through mixed second growth small timber.

Water Powers.

The Gull River is the only waterway which presents any possibilities in
the way of commercial water power. There is a falls on the river about twenty
miles north of my base line, with a drop of one hundred feet in a quarter of a
mile. The flow in this river in July, 1922, was about three hundred and fifty
cubic feet per second. The drainage area is approximately 1,000 square miles
and storage possibilities are excellent.

Game.

Moose are plentiful over this entire area. There are also red deer and
caribou. All fur-bearing animals seem to be plentiful, more particularly beaver
and martin. There are a great number of partridge.

Fish.

Pickerel, pike, whitefish, perch and suckers are to be found in abundance
in all lakes.

This is my report.

I have the honour to be. Sir,

Your obedient servant,

K. G. Ross,

Ontario Land Surveyor.

Certain Lines in the Unsurveyed Townships of MacBeth, Afton, Armagh,

Clary and Sheppard.

Sudbury, Ont., September 11th, 1922.

Sir, — In accordance with your instructions dated April 12th, 1922, to
survey certain lines in the unsurveyed Townships of MacBeth, Afton, Armagh,
Clary and Sheppard, this we have done and respectfully submit the following: —

We left Sudbury on May 4th, 1922, and arrived at Washagaming Lake same
day; next day we proceeded up Washagaming and Maskinonge Lake, and thence
by portage to Sturgeon River to the south limit of the Township of MacBeth.

The country in general is extremely rough and rocky, the soil on the whole is
sand and gravel; we found a few places suitable for agriculture.

The timber in the Townships of MacBeth, Afton and Armagh is composed
chiefly of large white and red pine and the stand is very heavy.

The timber in the Township of Clary is mostly jack pine with light stands
of red and white pine.

In the Township of Sheppard, on the south half the pine is young and
vigorous, while on the north part the pine is large and over-matured, with
patches of jack pine. The spruce within a radius of about two miles from the
Sturgeon River has been cut many years ago.

As to the minerals, we saw no economic minerals, excepting in the Town-
ship of Afton. We ran across the Golden Rose properties, the formation here
is an "iron formation."

The only water powers encountered were on the Sturgeon River, Upper
and Lower Goose Falls, which may each develop about 700 h.p. • ;

Boundary Line Between Ontario and Quebec.

Toronto, November 13th, 1922.

Sir, — On receipt of your instructions No. 2610, dated April 5th, 1922, to
renew the line of boundary between the Provinces of Ontario and Quebec, from
Point Beaudette on Lake St. Francis to Pointe Fortune on the Ottawa River,
I got in communication with Mr. Paul E. Mercier, of Montreal, who was appoint-
ed by the Province of Quebec, to work with me in the interests of that province,
and we went on the ground and commenced work on May 8th and finished the
field work on June 24th, and I beg to submit the following report.

90 REPORT OF THE No. 3

We commenced at Lake St. Francis and worked northerly and with the aid
of copies of Fletcher's plan and a copy of his field notes furnished Mr. Mercier
we had no difficulty in following the line and finding all the monuments Fletcher
planted in 1860, except three. We found that Fletcher had divided the line
into three parts, which he called Novelle Longueuil, Newton and Rigaud, and
gave separate chainages for each part, and we followed the same plan so as to
be able, if necessary, to locate missing monuments or other features the more
easily from his chainage. We found that he had marked the divisions between
these parts or sections as well as each end of the line by a larger monument than
generally used along the line, they being 9" x 13" dressed 27" at top. The league
or mile monuments were 6" x 9" dressed 24" and the deflection or angle monu-
ments were triangular about eight inches on each side dressed 24", all cut stones
and set about three or four feet in the ground. A detailed description of each
monument is given later.

Monument No. 38A
Ontario-Quebec Boundary.

We found the country through which the line runs generally cleared and
cultivated, there being only a few patches of bush, mostly second growth, and
that the line was mostly fenced, generally barbed wire, or had a ditch on it in
accordance with French practice.

We ran the line through from the south to north, chaining and taking notes
as we went, all being shown in the foregoing field notes.

The deflection monument at chainage 674+30 from Lake St. Francis No.
19, being in Concession VII Lancaster Township, was found lying on the side of
a ditch in a field used for pasturage this season, we decided to move it to the
southerly side of the Canadian Pacific Railway right of way, main line from
Smith's Falls to Montreal, a distance of 5.93 chains, and so be out of the way
for cultivation of the field, and not be liable to damage or destruction. By doing
this we moved the actual line where the monument is built into Ontario less than

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 91

seven links, but as the boundary line is not a property line at this place, we felt
the change was of no consequence. Again at the south branch of the La Grassie
River, the deflection monument, No. 34, being in Concession VI West Hawkes-
bury Township, at about chainage 221 on the third or Rigaud section, had been
on the north bank of the river where a considerable slide had recently taken
place, was found lying on the southerly bank of the river, we carried it up on
the north bank and set it on the forward line about L75 chains from the top of
the bank, and made it a deflection point, then we went back to monument No.
33, at chainage 206 + 78 and made that a deflection point also, with a very small
angle, this made no appreciable difference to the line except that there is one more
angle in it than Fletcher had.

Two monuments Nos. 42 and 44 could not be found. We were not able
to find any person who had seen them that could find them again, nor could
we find them from chainage, but built new ones at places so located.

Monument No. 2
Ontario-Quebec Boundary.

At Pointe Fortune we found buildings on the line as shown on the enlarge-
ment on the plan.

On the return we check chained with a 200 foot chain, by different men,
my assistant and I doing it, straightened up, moved and mounded up the stone
monuments and built new concrete monuments at points shown. The check
chainage showed a difference of 2.4 feet in 53,447 feet in the north or Rigaud
section and a slightly greater difference in the other two sections. Four stone
monuments, which had the tops broken off and were in cultivated fields, were not
touched, as they would be in the way for cultivation.

At certain places as shown on the plan and field notes, new concrete monu-
ments were built, these being a two feet square shaft about four feet long and
being pyramided to eight inches at top in a height of two feet, as shown on de-
tail attached. Generally a two-foot hole was dug in the ground as deep as re-

92 REPORT OF THE No. 3

quired, where boulders did not interfere, then filled with concrete, using "plums" ;
small boulders were available, and carried up eight or nine inches above ground
with a form and then the pyramidal top built on, after the form was removed
this was mounded up to within eighteen inches of the top. Eight pairs of
brass plates were supplied having "Ontario" and "Quebec" on them, these were
set in the forms with the bolts supplied and built in the concrete. Five monu-
ments each having a pair of plates were built, one at each of the five railways
crossed, and the others at the three principal roads crossed. The plates had a
space number on them, but no numbers were put on for the reason that they
were sandwiched in among the stone monuments and we could not see how we
could put numbers on them only and have the line symmetrical ; consequently
we did not put any numbers on at all, but they can be numbered at any time
if it is considered advisable to do so.

No blazing of trees was done, because there were very few trees close enough
to the line to be within the regulation distance, the exception being shade trees
in fences.

The following is a list of the several monuments found and as left together
with the new concrete monuments built, the numbers being the same as numbers
in report of Messrs. Hutcheon and Mills in September, 1921, with the letters
A and B added for new ones built or ones omitted in said report.

(List of monuments follow.)

Underneath is a drawing of the concrete monuments that were built, in
places as described, all being the same size and built with the same forms.

All of which is respectfully submitted,

Appendix No. 32.
Outlines of Townships, District of Timiskaming.

Toronto, Ont., October 18th, 1922.

Sir, — We have the honour to submit the following report of the survey of
certain township outlines in the District of Timiskaming, lying along and ad-
jacent to the Abitibi and Mattagami Rivers, north of the Canadian Government
Railways. This work was done under instructions from your Department
dated April 12th, 1922.

Upon receipt of the instructions we proceeded with the purchase of supplies
and the organization of the necessary party. On the 15th June the party

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 93

assembled at Clute, twelve miles northwest of Cochrane, and that afternoon
reached, by a waggon road recently opened, the foot of the rapids on the Fred-
erick House River. This point is about a mile north of the south boundary of
the Township of Leitch.

A descent of ten miles down the Frederick House River brought us to its
junction with the Abitibi River. We found the line between the Townships of
Colquhoun and Leitch without difficulty and about thirty chains north of the
Abitibi River located the iron and wooden posts planted to mark the north-
west corner of the Township of Leitch, at which point the season's work com-
menced.

From this corner of the Township of Leitch we ran a meridian north eighteen
miles and fifty- two links, to O.L.S. Niven's base line in 1899, which we inter-
sected six chains and thirty-three and a half links east of his nine mile post.

From the nine mile post on our meridian we ran eastward eight miles,
seventy-six chains and thirty-six links to the meridian run in 1898 by O.L.S.
Niven, and from the same post we ran westward across the Abitibi River. Mean-
while a sub-party ascended Driftwood Creek to the north boundary of the Town-
ship of Colquhoun, and travelling westward along that boundary, reached the
northeast angle of the Township of Kendry. There they commenced a second
meridian which was also carried north to O.L.S. Niven's base line of 1899.
Our base line run westward across the Abitibi River, intersected this meridian
at eight miles seventy-nine chains and thirty-nine links north of the Township
of Kendry. The base line was then carried westward to intersect a third meri-
dian which we ran north from the northeast angle of the part of the Township
of Alexandra lying south of O.L.S. Speight's base line of 1905. This meridian
was run north to O.L.S. Niven's base line. Our base line was then carried west-
ward to the west boundary of the Township of Beardmore, intersecting that
boundary at one chain and fifty-seven links north of the southeast corner of
the township.

The remainder of the work lay north of O.L.S. Niven's base line and com-
menced at the northeast angle of the Township of Beardmore. This point was
reached from the Poplar Rapids River by means of a canoe route, leaving that
river about a mile above its mouth. From the township corner we ran north
slightly more than eighteen miles, to the base line run last year by O.L.S. Sut-
cliffe and Neelands. " 7e picked up the line for the north boundary of the Town-
ship of Tucker, run by ourselves in 1911, and continued it eastward twenty-six
chains and sixty-six links to intersect our meridian, and then continued eastward
eight miles, forty-nine chains and seventy links, to a meridian run last year by
O.L.S. Sutcliffe and Neelands. This completed the season's work. The party
then ascended the Mattagami River and reached rail head at Smooth Rock
Falls on 11th August.

All lines were well opened out and carefully blazed. Wooden posts were
planted at the end of each mile and iron posts were planted at the end of each
third mile and at the township corners, or as witness posts for those points.

On each line carried across more than one township the chainage was recom-
menced at the intersecting township outlines.

Wooden posts were selected from the most durable material available in
the vicinity of the point to be marked, and the posts themselves were firmly
planted. We found it impossible in any instance to build a cairn of stones, as
we encountered very little rock and none of it was reasonably close to a point
where it could be used in this way. Owing to the flat nature of the country
and the presence of considerable areas of swamp, a number of the iron posts

94 REPORT OF THE No. 3

had to be planted as witness posts at some distance from the points they were
intended to mark. The iron posts were in all cases carefully planted and the
trench or pits, dug to reference each, were made of full width and depth. Except
in a few instances where suitable trees were not available, each mile post and
witness post was referenced to two bearing trees.

We intersected in several places lines run by O.L.S. Speight in 1905, and
noted our chainage to those lines as well as to the distance to his nearest post.

Timber.

Fire swept through the country east of the Abitibi River, apparently about
twenty years ago, and destroyed about eighty-five per cent, of the timber in
the area covered by it. What timber remains is in the swamps or protected by
stretches of muskeg. The burnt area seems to include most of the townships
of Menapia and Ireland east of the river and the northern part of the Town-
ship of Marvin. A second growth of spruce and poplar is now springing up,
but is not yet of any considerable size. West of the Abitibi River we found
that the timber on the boundary between the Townships of Beniah and Webster
was quite young, not more than forty to fifty years old, except in isolated spots.
The country had been evidently burnt over probably fifty years ago. The
growth, however, seems to be vigorous. The timber encountered on other
lines run, south of O.L.S. Niven's base line, was of a good average quality,
being, of course, mainly spruce, with some balsam, poplar, balm of gilead and
birch, on the higher lands. Much of the land is swampy, but most of it is
capable of being drained and cleared. North of O.L.S. Niven's base line the
country was inclined to be flat and wet, muskegs were more extensive and the
timber, on the whole, smaller.

Minerals.

Practically no rock was seen during the course of the survey, and none at
all on the lines of survey.

Soil.

The soil is mainly the white clay common to this part of Ontario, with
occasional ridges of sandy loam or coarse sand, and the townships south of
O.L.S. Niven's base line seem suitable for agricultural development. The
large areas of muskeg encountered on the lines north of O.L.S. Niven's base
line suggest that these townships are not so largely composed of good agricul-
tural land.

Water Powers.

The Abitibi and Mattagami Rivers are both fast flowing streams. Plans
are now under way for the development of water power on the Abitibi River at
Three Carrying Places Rapids and also at a point lower down. Though there
are numerous small rapids on the Mattagami River, within the townships out-
lined, there is no point within their boundaries suitable for power development
on any considerable scale. At Cypress Falls, with a drop of about thirteen feet,
just below our last crossing, there is a possible site.

Fish and Game!

Moose were comparatively scarce and few signs of them were seen. Beaver,
too, were not plentiful. Of the other game and fur-bearing animals, it is diffi-

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 95

cult to speak from observation in the summer, though this area is said to be a
good martin country. The lakes and smaller streams contained considerable
numbers of pike and pickerel. The Mattagami and Abitibi Rivers apparently
are not particularly well supplied with fish.

Canoe Routes.

The Abitibi River is for the most part broad and deep through these town-
ships and is at present much travelled in connection with surveys and construc-
tion work for the Timiskaming and Northern Ontario extension. From our
observation, the Mattagami River is, generally speaking, swifter and shallower
than the Abitibi River. From the railway at Smooth Rock Falls to Cypress
Rapids there are three short portages. There are, however, numerous fiat
rapids. The Poplar Rapids River, from our crossing on the north boundary of
the Township of Alexandra to its mouth, is readily navigable by canoes, except
at extreme low water. Driftwood Creek, which we ascended from its mouth
to the north boundary of the Township of Colquhoun, is also easily travelled
in normal stages, with one or two short portages.

All the east and west lines were run as chords of the parallels of latitude
passing through the corners of the respective townships. Frequent observa-
tions were taken on Polaris throughout the survey and the notes of a number
of these are embodied in the field notes.

General Features.

The townships outlined during the summer's work are part of the northern
clay belt and conform in general to the characteristics associated with that
area. The surface is for the most part flat, or gently undulating, except in the
immediate neighbourhood of the rivers and larger creeks, where it is broken
by the ravines cut by these streams. These ravines and the river valleys are
seldom wide, the banks as a rule rising almost to the level of the interior coun-
try within a few chains of the water. The Abitibi and Mattagami Rivers
drain the area surveyed. Tributary to these rivers are the Driftwood and Red
Sucker Creeks and the Poplar Rapids River. The latter empties into the
Mattagami River at O. L. S. Niven's base line, where there is a small clearing
and some buildings have been erected by John Shabatese, an Indian Chief.
The Driftwood and Red Sucker Creeks flow into the Abitibi River,

No large lakes were seen. The lakes crossed by our lines were shallow and
the shores were, in most cases, swampy.

We have the honour to be. Sir,

Your obedient servants,

Ontario Land Surveyors.

Appendix No. 33.
Resurvey of Severn River and Lake Expansions.

Parry Sound, Ont., October 21st, 1922.

I have the honour to report that in compliance with instructions dated
April 27th, 1922, I proceeded to make a resurvey of the Severn River and its
lake expansions, from the south boundary of the Township of Matchedash, near
the head of Sparrow Lake, down stream to the Government dam at Port Severn.

I left Parry Sound on May 31st with three men and assistant, by way of
the Canadian National Railways, arriving at Sparrow Lake the same evening,
where we were joined by another rodman. Loading our canoes, we proceeded,
down Sparrow Lake about four miles to the scene of our operations, where we
pitched camp. The following day, after making the usual tests of our instru-
ments, I commenced the traverse of Sparrow Lake at the south boundary of
Matchedash Township.

Severn River and its lake expansions form the boundary between the Dis-
trict of Muskoka and the County of Simcoe as it wends its way to Port Severn
on the Georgian Bay, and has been greatly improved as a water route by the
construction of the Trent Canal. Sparrow Lake, owing to its location on the
Canadian National Railway, lies in easy access of approach by those who love
the great outdoors. The shores are mostly rocky, but not exceedingly high,
thus permitting of better building sites. Numerous large hotels have been
erected along the shores of this lake, and appear to be doing a lucrative business.

Wending our way down the river, we came to the dam, about two miles
below the Canadian National Railway crossing. A large power plant has been
erected below this dam, supplying the town of Orillia with light and power.
Before we reach Gloucester Pool on our way to the Georgian Bay, we come to
the Big Chute, where another large dam has been erected. A power plant has
also been erected here, supplying a great deal of light and power to different
towns. Besides the dam at Port Severn, at the Severn River entrance to the
Georgian Bay, there are several concrete and earth dams blocking the different
by-passes from the river. The shores all along the river are generally rocky,
with occasionally a level stretch of land. At several places near Ragged Rapids,
the banks are high and precipitous. Owing to the dam construction and the
height the water has been raised, several of the older islands have been partially
submerged, and a great deal of the mainland flooded, causing many new islands.
These islands range in size from a mere rock to thirty or forty acres. Appar-
ently, in some places the timber was felled before the land was flooded, as all
trace of the original shore is obliterated, while in many of the bays the dead
timber still stands, thus making it very difficult for traversing the shores.

Timber.

As these townships have been timbered over many years ago, very little of
the original forest remains. Fire has also done its deadly work, leaving in its
wake the charred remains.

Clinging by their roots to the shallow soil among the rocks, scrub oak four
inches to twelve inches, pine six inches to thirteen inches, and scattered, small
poplar, birch, maple and hemlock have sprung up, while in the low land there
is scattered, ash, elm and cedar. No timber in quantities large enough for
commercial purposes to any extent was met with, although if the timber was
protected for a few years, the pine would grow.

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 97

Soil.

The country around the Severn waters in this locality is mostly high and
rocky, thus making farming out of the question. However, a few settlers have
braved the hardships of pioneer life, following the pursuit of farming, both in
the Townships of Morrison in the district of Muskoka, and Matchedash, in the
County of Simcoe. When land exists, the soil is a clay loam, sandy in places.
Not much farm land was met with until we reached Gloucester Pool. Several
settlers in the Township of Baxter, on the west shore of Gloucester Pool, appeared
to be making a good living. Some had settled along Go-Home Bay, White's
Bay and up near Six-Mile Lake. Excepting the land occupied by these sparsely-
settled agriculturists, a considerable portion of the remainder lying along the
water front is in the hands of the tourists.

Minerals.

As the rock here is granite of the Huronic era, no minerals at all were seen.
There were a few small outcrops of feldspar, but not of any commercial value.

Fish and Game.

No deer or bear were seen at all. A few otter, beaver and mink were seen,
and scattered broods of partridge were met with. While no doubt the grassy,
weedy bottom of Sparrow Lake has been for years the mecca for maskinonge,
they appear to be getting scarcer. Several fine specimens of the pike and small-
mouth black bass were caught, but generally speaking the fishing was only fair.

In reference to the water powers, it will be unnecessary for me to dwell
upon them in detail, as they have been all developed to a great extent, and any
information can be obtained much more accurately.

While the townships through which our work extended have been sur-
veyed many years ago, most of the different monuments were found. Many
of the different concession lines in Matchedash and Baxter have been resur-
veyed under instructions from the Crown, and in the Townships of Morrison
and Wood the old monuments have been perpetuated through the local surveys.

In reference to the tourist sites, the same does not hold. True it is, in a
few cases, posts were planted on the ground, but in the majority of cases no
posts were planted. I have shown on the plans all posts, or nearly so, that
were found planted.

Owing to the presence of the dams on this river, it covers a wider area
than formerly. Our plan of traverse will show this, and the different matters
that I have mentioned in detail.

I am enclosing with the report, observations, descriptions of islands met
with and area of same, along with the bearing of the courses, and distances
from station to station.

All of which is respectfully submitted.

I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your obedient servant,

98 REPORT OF THE No. 3

Appendix No. 34.

Base and Meridian Lines and Islands in the East End of St. Joseph
Lake, District of Thunder Bay.

Thessalon, Ont., March 29th, 1922.

Sir, — In accordance with your instructions dated April 15th, 1921, I have
made a survey of certain base and meridian lines in the Districts of Patricia
and Thunder Bay, and have made a traverse of the eastern part of the Lake
St. Joseph and beg to submit the following report: —

The base line was started from the 66th mile post on the meridian line run
by myself in 1919, was run east astronomically on a series of six-mile chords
of a parallel of latitudes for a distance of twenty-eight miles and twenty-nine
chains. At this point it was intersected by a production of the westerly
boundary of the Indian Reserve on the south side of Lake St. Joseph, near
the Hudson's Bay Company's post at Osnaburgh. The west boundary of this
Indian Reserve was produced south a distance of seventy-three chains, sixty-
four links.

From the end of each six-mile chord, a meridian line was run north astron-
omically to the shore of Lake St. Joseph.

The base and meridian lines were well cut out and blazed. A substantial
wooden post of the best timber available was placed at the end of "EUch i/Tile,
excepting where this point occurred in a lake or stream, and was surrounded
wherever possible by a substantial mound of stones. Bearing trees were marked
with the letters "B. T." after being blazed in a prominent manner, at every
post where possible and the distances and bearings of these trees from the
various posts, were recorded in the field notes.

The number of the mile was marked with a scribing iron on the side of the
post facing the point from which the line was started. When the end of a mile
came in a lake or stream, the post was planted on the nearest shore, and the
chainage from the nearest mile was marked on the post with a scribing iron.

At the end of every third mile, wherever possible, a standard iron post of
the type recently adopted by your department was planted. At these iron
posts two pits were dug, and the earth from the pits was formed into two square
pyramidal mounds, in the manner described in the general instructions relating
thereto. In some cases it was impossible to plant an iron post and dig the pits
and erect mounds, on account of the end of the mile coming in water or on
unsuitable ground. In each of such cases, a standard iron post surrounded by
a witness trench and accompanied by a conical mound was planted at the nearest
even chain where suitable ground could be found, from the correct position of
the point to be established.

These witness posts, trenches and mounds were placed at the following
points: —

At 14 M. 76.00 chains to indicate the 15th mile.

" 17 M. 73.00 " " 18th mile.

" 21 M. 8.00 " " 21st mile.

" 26 M. 62.00 " " 27th mile.

On the third meridian no iron post was planted at the third mile, on account
of the ground being unsuitable, but a witness post was planted at 3 M., 60.00
chains, near the shore of Lake St. Joseph. ^*

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 99

Astronomic observations were taken whenever possible to determine the
bearings of the lines run, and the results of these observations are recorded in
the field notes on the proper pages.

The traverse of the eastern part of lake St. Joseph was started at a point
on the south side of the narrows on Lake St. Joseph, 59.00 chains north of the
sixty-first mile post on the meridian line run by myself in 1919. This is the
same point from which I started the traverse of the western part of Lake St.
Joseph surveyed in 1920, only this year the traverse was made towards the east.

The whole of the south side of Lake St. Joseph lying east of this meridian
was traversed as far east as a point about six miles in a direct line east from the
meridian of 1919. The traverse of the north shore was also conducted westerly
from the east end of the lake, to a point about two miles west of where it would
be intersected by a northerly production of the third meridian. This leaves
an unfinished portion on the north shore of the lake, about ten and a half miles
across in a direct line. This unfinished portion includes a large bay with num-
erous islands, some of them quite large. It was not possible to traverse this
portion of the lake owing to lack of time. The prevailing rock formation in.
this section appears to be Laurentian and the opportunities for successful pros-
pecting do not appear to be so great as in other sections, so it was decided thai
it was more important to complete the traverse of the other portions of the lake.

The traverse was tied to the base line wherever possible and to each of the
meridian lines run north from the base line. It was continued on the south
side of the lake as far east as the Indian Reserve south of Osnaburgh. On
the north side of the lake at the eastern end, the traverse was carried sufficiently
far to tie in the Hudson's Bay Co.'s property at Osnaburgh, and also the Indian
Reserve north of this point. At the east end of Lake St. Joseph the only portion
not traversed is the large island between the northerly and the southerly out-
lets of the lake, and a number of small islands adjacent to this large island and
to the northerly Indian Reserve.

In the traverse all angles were measured with a transit, and the distances
were obtained by stadia or micrometer. The bearings of the traverse courses
were checked by astronomical observations at frequent intervals and also by
ties to the base and meridian lines.

Every night the traverse work of the day was plotted on cross section
paper to a scale of twenty chains to an inch. By this means any error in the
traverse was at once located and corrected. The closing errors in the traverse
were never more than twenty-five links to the mile, and were usually much
less than that.

As in the previous season, at intervals of about a mile on the shore, prom-
inent trees were plazed on four sides, and marked on the side next the water
with the letter "P," followed by the number of the tree, thus, P. No. — . Sim-
ilarly the islands were marked by having the letter "I" following by the number
of the island. In cases where no suitable tree was available, a substantial post
was planted in a mound of stones and marked as indicated above. These
trees and posts were all tied to the nearest transit station, and the bearing and
distance to the tree or post from the transit station recorded in the field notes.

The details on the traverse showing all measurements, all posts and trees
marked as monuments, and all information necessary for the proper interpreta-
tion of plans, have been plotted on a scale of ten chains to an inch, and tracings
of these detail sheets have already been sent to your department. A plan on
a scale of one mile to an inch has also been prepared on mounted drawing paper.
This plan shows the base and meridian lines and their relations to the sur-

100 REPORT OF THE No. 3

rounding country. The shore line of Lake St. Joseph and of all the islands
within the limits of the survey have been reduced by a pantograph, and plotted
on this plan, which accompanies this report.

The country as a whole is rolling and rocky, the valleys being filled with
the muskegs typical of this section of Northern Ontario. There is very little
agricultural land, and what there is occurs for the most part in small isolated
tracts. There are several fairly large areas of gravelly and stony land, par-
ticularly near Lake St. Joseph, from the commencement of the base line up to
about the fourth mile, and again near the twenty-third and twenty-fourth
miles on the base line and on the fourth meridian. There is a fairly large area
of sandy land near the Hudson's Bay Co.'s Post at Osnaburgh, and some sec-
tions of this are capable of being successfully cultivated. There is a good gar-
den at Osnaburgh, and potatoes and other vegetables appeared to grow very
well. Some of the Indians have small gardens scattered about on some of the
islands, but they do not appear to grow anything but potatoes. The potato
patches were usually very well cultivated and gave evidence of considerable
care and attention. On the whole, however, the amount of land suitable for
cultivation is relatively very small.

The prevailing timber is spruce, white birch, jack pine and balsam, with
considerable scrubby cedar close to the shores. No red or white pine was seen.

Forest fires have wrought great destruction throughout the greater part of
this territory. A very great portion of the country adjacent to the south shore
of Lake St. Joseph has been burnt over only a very few years ago, and extensive
areas are now covered with masses of fallen timber, which make travelling very
difficult. On the areas which have been burnt for some time, a healthy second-
growth of jack pine, spruce, white birch, etc., is growing very nicely, and if
fires are kept out in the future, will eventually form a considerable addition
to the forest wealth of this country.

Between the fourteenth and fifteenth miles on the base line, there is a
striking example of what the timber resources of this country might have been
had the fires been prevented. For a distance of about half a mile along the
base line in this locality there is an area which has apparently never been touched
by fire, and there is a stand of splendid spruce, balsam and white birch of large
size. This is the largest and best timber seen during the season. Another
splendid example of what is apparently original forest is found on a large island
in Pashkokogan Lake, near the twenty-eighth mile on the base line.

There is a considerable quantity of good spruce, etc., scattered throughout
the country, as there are still large areas which have escaped the many fires.
It is difficult to estimate the proportion, of the total area that has been burnt
over, but I would venture to say that in the neighbourhood of fifty per cent,
of the country seen from the lines, and from the south shore of Lake St. Joseph,
has been burnt over within comparatively recent years. Notwithstanding the
great destruction that has been caused by fire, however, there is still a great
quantity of timber suitable for pulpwood, which will some day be a very valu-
able asset to the Province. It is not impossible that the timber resources of
this territory are greater than one would at first be led to believe. The desola-
tion caused by a forest fire stands out so prominently on the landscape, that
there may well be a tendency to estimate the damage done by it as being greater
than it really is.

Most of these fires are caused by carelessness on the part of the local
Indians, and I would suggest that some effort be made to impress on the Indians
the necessity for care in the use of fire. If arrangements were made to have

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 101

the Hudson's Bay Co. put up notices where the Indians congregated around
the various posts in the summer, it might have some effect. These notices
should be printed in the Indian language, using the syllabic characters which
all these Indians read and understand. I would also suggest that an effort be
made to have the importance of this matter impressed upon the Indians by the
Indian Agent who goes into Lake St. Joseph to pay them their treaty money
every summer. If the chief of the band of Indians at Osnaburgh were appointed
a fire ranger at a very small salary, I firmly believe that a great improvement
would result.

The country north of Lake St. Joseph does not appear to have been burned
over to nearly the same extent in recent years as that south of the lake, and
there is a large amount of pulpwood in this section of the country. North of
Lake St. Joseph the country is not so hilly. There are not nearly as many
rock exposures and muskeg areas are larger and more frequent.

Regarding the geology of this section of the country, I have very little to
say. Dr. E. L. Bruce, professor of mineralogy at Queen's University, spent
the summer with several assistants making a geological survey of the country
adjacent to Lake St. Joseph, and his report, which will be made in the Depart-
ment of Mines, will give complete information as to the geology of this whole
region.

J would merely say in this connection that on the south side of Lake St.
Joseph there are several large Keewatin areas which would appear to be well
worth prospecting. From a point about three miles east of the second meridian,
and extending as far east as the Indian Reserve south of Osnaburgh, there is a
very large area where local magnetic attraction is most pronounced. In many
places along the shore there are indications of iron ore. Along the third meri-
dian, particularly near the second mile, local attraction is very strong, and this
condition extends for a long distance both east and west of this line. Unfor-
tunately the portions of this territory that I was able to see, are covered with
a heavy growth of deep moss with muskeg in places, and there is very little
rock exposed.' All the indications point to the continuation easterly of the iron
range which exists in the westerly portion of Lake St. Joseph and which was
mentioned in the report of the survey of that portion of the lake in 1920.

Lake St. Joseph is the predominating feature of the topography of this
section of the country. The shore line of this lake is very irregular, withfmany
deep bays and long points. There are numerous islands, ranging in size from
bare rocks to some of several hundred acres in extent. The largest island,
No. 606, has an area of 1,827 acres. The first island surveyed was numbered
472, the numbers being continued from the previous year, and the last one,
near Osnaburgh, was numbered 925. A detailed description of each of these
islands is given separately. The data given regarding the islands gives the
number of the island, the area, the nearest transit station, and the number of
the detail sheet on which the details of the survey of the island are shown.

The shores of Lake St. Joseph are generally rocky and stony, but many
of the bays run back into fairly extensive marshes where the exact location of
the shore line is hard to determine with any degree of certainty. A peculiar
feature of the portion of Lake St. Joseph surveyed this season, is the large
number of stretches of almost straight shore, the shore consisting entirely of
boulders and the land behind being composed of boulders and gravel. This
was particularly noticeable for a few miles east and west of the third meridian
and on some of the large islands north of this section.

There are very few streams of any size flowing into Lake St. Joseph from

102 REPORT OF THE No. 3

the south. The largest stream enters the lake in a deep bay east of the fifty-
ninth mile on the meridian line run by myself in 1919. This bay joins the main
lake about four miles east of the sixty-fourth mile on the meridian of 1919.
This is a fairly large stream and drains an exceedingly intricate system of lakes
with shore river stretches between. These lakes extend south to about the
twenty-fifth mile on the meridian of 1919 and forms part of a very good canoe
route to the Canadian Government Railway near Fowler Station. This canoe
route is shown on the plan which accompanied the report of the survey of the
meridian run by myself in 1919.

Another stream enters Lake St. Joseph near the twenty-third mile on the
base line run this season, and drains a number of small lakes lying to the south.
This stream is not very large, but forms part of a canoe route by which access
is obtained to a considerable area to the south.

There are a couple of streams entering Lake St. Joseph on the north side
which are navigable for canoes, but not for any great distance, as the divide
between the waters flowing towards Lake St. Joseph and those tributary to
the Attawapiskat River is not far from Lake St. Joseph. A route which was
used by myself for transporting supplies to the meridian run in 1919, enters
the deep bay on the north shore, which it was not possible to traverse this
year. A sketch of this route, by which one can travel by canoe from Lake St.
Joseph to Cat Lake, is also shown on the plan of the meridian run by myself
in 1919.

Fish and game of the varieties common to this country are fairly plentiful.

Accompanying this report is a mounted plan on a scale of one mile to an
inch, as previously mentioned; also my accounts in triplicate, which I trust
that you will find satisfactory. The field notes of the lines run, and the trac-
ings showing the details of the traverse, were forwarded to your department
some time ago.

Survey Township Outlines, District of Algoma.

Pembroke, Ont., January 28th, 1922.

Sir, — I have the honour to submit the following report of the survey of
the township outlines in the District of Algoma, made by me under instruc-
tions from your Department, dated April 15th, 1921.

I proceeded from Pembroke via Canadian Pacific Railway to Franz, and
then up Algoma Central Railway to Tatnall Station, thence via canoes from

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 103

Oba Lake up small stream, the outlet of Cat Lake, from which there is a chain
of lakes and portages to lake near the northeast corner of Moorhouse Township,
which was my starting point. Here I planted new jack pine post alongside
the old iron post and from this corner ran the line between Townships of Moor-
house and Makawa south astronomically a distance of nine miles and estab-
lished the corner of Mildred, Makawa, Nebotik and Hook Townships. From
this corner I ran north between Townships of Hook and Mildred to intersec-
tion with south boundary of Legge Township, I then cut a trail to southwest
corner of Irving Township, where I found an old line which I retraced thirty-
three chains and ninety-eight links easterly to old wooden and iron posts marked
Mildred on the southeast, and Martin on the southwest. I produced this line
easterly to intersection with my meridian between Mildred and Hook Town-
ships. I then returned to my base line and ran south between Makawa and
Nebotik Townships a distance of nine miles. I again returned to my base line
and ran easterly to intersection with southerly production of boundary of Hay-
ward. From southeast boundary of Hayward I ran south astronomically a
distance of fourteen miles, seventy-seven chains and seventy-nine links to
intersection with Niven's base line.

To run between Farquhar and Alderson Townships I proceeded to Mac-
Duff Station on the Canadian Northern Railway, which is only a short distance
east of three mile post on Patten's base line, my starting point, from which I
ran north astronomically, a distance of nine miles, six chains and fifty-eight
links to intersection with line run east astronomically from southeast corner
of Dowsley Township.

Returning to the railway, I went east to Minnipuka Lake and proceeded
to the northeast corner of Legge Township along north boundary of that town-
ship, and from this corner I ran eight miles, seventy-six chains and twenty-
two links east astronomically to intersection with Speight's meridian at a point
two chains and seven links north of his thirty-third mile post. I then returned
to northeast corner of Legge Township and ran north between Minnipuka and
Byng Townships a distance of eight miles, seventy-seven chains and seventy-
two links, intersecting south boundary of Doherty Township at a point five
chains and thirty-two links east of its southwest corner, from which I ran west
astronomically between Minnipuka and Pelletier Townships a distance of eight
miles, sixty-nine chains and twenty-eight links, to intersection with east bound-
ary of Township of Walls, at a point three chains and fifty-nine links south of
its northeast corner; then starting at northeast corner of Walls Township, I
ran north astronomically a distance of eight miles, seventy-eight chains and
fifty-eight links, intersecting south boundary of Schofield Township at a point
nine chains and eighty-five links east of post between lots twenty-five and
twenty-six, concession one.

East and west lines are run on chords of latitudes and meridians were run
north or south astronomically, frequent observations for azimuth were taken.
Wooden posts properly marked were planted at every mile, and iron posts
alongside wooden posts at every third mile, and pits dug and mounds constructed
where required so to do in accordance with instructions.

Soil.

I did not see any land suitable for agricultural purposes in sufficient areas

to warrant the belief that it could be developed in to farm lands. The best

soil is along Fire River, in the Township of Makawa, Mildred and Hook, where

there is some clay loam, but not of sufficient quantity for agricultural purposes.

104 REPORT OF THE No. 3

Timber.

There is considerable brule in the Townships of Makawa, Moorhouse and
Martin, the only timber large enough and suitable for commercial purposes
being some jack pine on the line between Townships of Moorhouse and Makawa
between the first and third mile posts. There is also some spruce and jack
pine along the line between Makawa and Mildred, tributary to Fire River,
which does not appear to extend easterly on line between Nebotik and Wool-
rich beyond second mile post, and along line between Mildred and Hook Town-
ships there is fairly heavy timber consisting principally of spruce, jack pine,
poplar and balsam, from six to twenty inches in diameter, and on line between
Mildred and Marjorie timber is also fairly heavy, mostly spruce, poplar, balm
of gilead, from six to twenty inches in diameter. Along east boundary of
Nebotik and Abigo Townships the country is heavily timbered with spruce,
poplar, balsam, jack pine and balm of gilead up to twenty inches in diameter,
this latter is all tributary to the Greenhill River along which lumbering opera-
tions are being carried on, principally in taking out ties for railroad purposes.

On the line between Farquhar and Alderson I did not encounter any burned
country, but this timber is small, consivSting principally of spruce from four to
eight inches in diameter, with scattered areas of jack pine up to ten inches in
diameter on the higher ground.

On that portion of my contract lying north and northeast of Lake Minni-
puka, the lines between the Townships of Byng and Puskuta, between Minni-
puka and Byng, and between Minnipuka and Pelletier, is all green country
covered with a dense growth of spruce, balsam, poplar and birch, four to ten
inches, with occasionally some jack pine four to eight inches on the ridges, and
appears to have been all burned over about eighty years ago, and will have some
valuable timber possibilities providing fire is kept out of it. The line between
Roche and Pelletier is practically all through brule, apparently burned over
about forty years ago, with areas more recently burned over, and the country
is quite open in places. This brule extends to the southwest and northeast
from about twenty chains south of the first mile post.

Minerals.

No indication of economic minerals were found, there being rocky ridges
scattered generally throughout whole area covered by this survey. The high-
est and most prominent rock outcrop being between chainage fifty and seventy
on the fourth mile of the south boundary of Byng Township. From top of the
ridge one can see a great distance in all directions, Brunswick Lake being seen
to the east.

Streams and Lakes.

The main branch of Fire River is navigable by canoe through northeast
corner of Makawa Township, but through southeast part of Mildred it is very
crooked and blocked by logs and brushwood and with very little water flowing
in it this summer. From Mildred east there are numerous shallow rapids.
Report on Greenhill River has already been made to your department, it having
been surveyed in 1920.

Goat River is a fair-sized stream, from a chain to two chains in width and
is navigable by canoes through Township of Minnipuka, that being only por-
tion I am acquainted with, it flows through a lake from ten to thirty chains
wide and about two and a half miles long, located about two miles north of
Minnipuka Lake.

There are no water powers capable of development that I know of.

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 105

Game, Etc.

Large game is very scarce. The fishing in lakes was only fair, but we
did not have many opportunities of investigating. I understood from the
Indians there is good speckled trout fishing in lake on Goat River, and we took
some fine specimens of from ten to fifteen inches long in the river at its crossing
of north boundary of Minnipuka Township, also in the creek which crosses
same boundary on the fourth mile.

Speaking generally, the area covered by survey this season is valuable only
for its timber possibilities, which depend on the success in keeping down forest
fires.

Accompanying this report are a plan, field notes, timber plan, with usual
affidavits and account in triplicate.

Resurvey of Part of the Township of Blount, District of Timiskaming.

North Bay, Ont., December 5th, 1922.

Sir, — I have the honour to submit the following report on the survey of
part of the Township of Blount, in the District of Timiskaming, performed by
me under instructions from your Department, dated September 26th, 1922.

I left North Bay on October 4th with a party of seven men and travelled
to Cochrane, remaining over night at Cochrane, and the next morning hired a
motor truck which carried men and supplies to where the Timiskaming and
Northern Ontario Railway crosses the south boundary of the Township of
Blount, where we made camp and commenced work in the afternoon. Survey
work was carried on continuously till the completion on November 3rd, arriv-
ing at North Bay on November 4th.

The party consisted of eight men, made up as follows : one surveyor,
two chainmen, four axemen and one cook.

Observations for azimuth were taken on the centre line of the Timiskaming
and Northern Ontario Railway and bearing carried on side lines between every
sixth lot to the east and west boundaries of Concessions "A" and "B."

Traverse of the Abitibi River was made by chaining along the north shore
and taking stadia readings to the south shore. Also traverses of lakes were made
by chaining on the ice along the shore and taking stadia readings to the oppo-
site shore.

Iron posts were marked and planted, and pits and mounds made at the
points shown in accordance with the instructions.

106 REPORT OF THE No. 3

The soil is well adapted for agricultural purposes, being clay, and several
of the lots have already been settled on and small clearances made.

Fire has run through the district and destroyed the timber on the high
land, and the only green timber is in the spruce swamps, except a portion on the
east boundary, lots twelve and thirteen. Concession "A," and on the west bound-
ary of lots twenty-eight to thirty-two, Concession "B."

The road along the southerly limit of Concessions "A" and "B" has been
opened and graded, also road between original lots eighteen and nineteen from
the southerly limit of township northerly as far as the Abitibi River.

Accompanying this report are plan, field notes and accounts, all of which
I trust will be found complete and satisfactory.

I have the honour to be, Sir,

Your obedient servant,

G. P. Angus,

Ontario Land Surveyor.

Township Outlines in District of Sudbury.

Peterborough, Ont., October 23rd, 1922.

Sir, — I beg to report that, agreeably to your instructions dated April 12th,
1922, to survey certain township outlines in the district of Sudbury, I have
completed this work and beg to submit herewith my plans, field notes and report,
all of which I trust will be found complete and satisfactory.

The survey was commenced at an iron post planted by myself in 1916, to
mark the intersection of the line between concessions four and five in the Town-
ships of Hall and Jofifre with the line between these townships. After a delay
of a few days at this point in getting an astronomical observation, the line
between the Townships of Hall and Joffre was produced south to O.L.S. Patten's
base line and from the sixth, twelfth, eighteenth and twenty-fourth mile points.
Lines were run due west on six-mile chords to O.L.S. Niven's base line. My
meridian six miles west of my first meridian was run due south from a point
six miles west of the southeast angle of the township of Hall to O.L.S. Patten's
base line. Wooden posts made of the most durable wood in the locality, and
at least six inches square and three feet high, were planted at the end of every
mile, excepting when that point fell in a river or lake, in which case the post
was planted on the line at the nearest shore. At the end of every third mile,
where possible, the iron posts supplied by your Department were planted and
pits and mounds made according to Department instructions. Where it was
not possible to plant these posts at the exact points, they were planted accord-
ing to instructions and witness mounds and trenches made.

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 107

On the hills and uplands of the eight townships outlined by me the country
is broken and rocky and has been repeatedly overrun by fire, so there is prac-
tically no timber now remaining on the uplands, which are covered with small
poplar, white birch and banksian pine. In the vicinity of Upper Green Lake
there still remains considerable scattered white and red pine of good size and
quality.

In the lowlands between the hills are found the usual swampy tracts covered
with spruce, dead and decaying tamarac with alder and willow underbrush and
considerable windfall; the average size of this timber ranges from two to ten
inches in diameter. Probably eighty-five per cent, of these townships is high
and rocky, the remaining fifteen per cent, being low and swampy.

I am very sorry to have to report there is absolutely no agricultural land
in any of the townships outlined by me, nor does there appear on the surface
any indication of the existence of economic minerals. The whole country is
traversed by numerous rivers, creeks and lakes, containing considerable very
good fish, particularly pike and lake trout. Moose and red deer are also very
plentiful in this locality. While the country cannot be called exactly moun-
tainous, it is very rough and broken throughout.

All the survey was carried out under my personal supervision, and at only
one or two points did I find it necessary to depart from the instructions with
respect to having angles opposite the base over ten degrees in triangulation
work.

There is a considerable tourist traffic passes through the townships, this
being the chief waterway leading south from the Canadian Pacific Railway to
the Mississaga Forest Reserve. Many of these parties were met with during
the progress of the survey.

I have the honour to be. Sir,

Your obedient servant,

J. W. Fitzgerald,

Ontario Land Surveyor.

Appendix No. 38.
Certain Township Outlines in the District of Sudbury.

North Bay, Ont., November 21st, 1922.

Sir, — We beg to report on the survey of certain township outlines in the
District of Sudbury, surveyed by us under instructions from your Department
dated the 12th day of April, 1922.

We left North Bay on the 14th of June, arriving at Roberts Station on the
Canadian Pacific Railway the same day with a small number of our party; the
balance of the party, being Indians, were hired at Biscotasing.

We commenced our survey at a post planted by E. Stewart, O.L.S., in 1891
on the north side of the Canadian Pacific Railway, between townships number

108 REPORT OF THE No. 3

12 and Joffre. The original notes for this point show a wooden post and a gas
pipe planted, but the gas pipe had disappeared, the wooden post and a cairn of
stones remaining, as was the case on the opposite side of the railway and at all
other points with one exception, where the original notes showed a wooden post
and gas pipe. From this post we ran north astronomically between the Town-
ship of Joffre and Township 12, and continued north astronomically between
the Township of Carew and the Township of Alcona to the south boundary of
the Township of Fingal, which boundary had been run by us in 1920.

Again, starting at a post planted by E. Stewart in 1891 on the northeasterly
side of the Canadian Pacific Railway between the Townships of Joffre and
Carew, we ran east astronomically between those two townships to our meridian
line and continued thence east astronomically between Township Number 12
and Alcona to the southerly production of the west boundary of the Township
of Smuts, which boundary had been run by us the previous year. Producing
the said west boundary of the Township of Smuts we ran south astronomically
between the Township of Biskotasi and Township Number 12 to a point, where
we established the southeast angle of Township 12 due east astronomically from
the northeast angle of Township Number 10, which we found marked by a wooden
post in a stone cairn planted by E. Stewart in 1891. This completed our work
on the north side of the Canadian Pacific Railway. We then proceeded to the
southwest angle of Township 12, which had also been established by Mr. Stewart
in 1891, but as this country had been burned over since 1891, we found it neces-
sary to run a line south astronomically the distance shown on Mr. Stewart's original
field notes from the post we had already found between the Township of Joffre
and Township Number 12 on the north side of the Canadian Pacific Railway,
and after searching nearly half a day we succeeded in finding the original iron
post (gas pipe) and the point of the wooden post, though a four or five inch
spruce tree had grown exactly on the top of it. From this point we ran south
astronomically six miles between Townships 10 and 11, and at this six-mile
point we established the adjacent angles of the four Townships 10, 11, Kelso
and McPhail. From the same point we ran west astronomically between the
Townships of Joffre and Number 11 to the east boundary of the Township of
Hall, which was run this summer by O.L.S. Fitzgerald. From the said adjacent
angles of the Townships 10, 11, Kelso and McPhail, we ran west astronomically
between Township Number 11 and Township of Kelso to the east boundary of
the Township of Abney, which was also run this summer by O.L.S. Fitzgerald,
east astronomically between Townships Number 10 and McPhail to the west
boundary of Township Number 9, run this summer by O.L.S. Gallagher, and
south astronomically between Townships of Kelso and McPhail six miles and
twenty-seven links, where we established the adjacent angles of the Townships
of Kelso, McPhail, Ivy and Earl. From this point we ran west astronomically
between the Townships of Kelso and Ivy to the east boundary of the Township
of Cortez, which was also run this summer by O.L.S. Fitzgerald, east astronomic-
ally between the Townships of McPhail and Earl to the west boundary of Town-
ship Number 8, run this summer by O.L.S. Gallagher, and south astronomically
between the Townships of Ivy and Earl six miles, where we established the ad-
jacent angles of the four Townships, Ivy, Earl, Durban and Jasper, and from this
point we ran west astronomically between the Townships of Ivy and Durban
to the east boundary of the Township of Ethel, which was also run this summer
by O.L.S. Fitzgerald, east astronomically between the Townships of Earl and
Jasper to the west boundary of Township Number 6, which was also run this
summer by O.L.S. Gallagher, and south astronomically between the Town-

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 109

ships of Durban and Jasper to the north boundary of the Mississaga Forest
Reserve run in 1908 by O.L.S. Patten.

A wooden post not less than six inches square and of the most durable wood
obtainable was planted at the end of each mile, or where such point came in a
lake the post was planted on the nearest shore and the chainage carved thereon.
The posts were all set firmly in the ground and around many of them were built
cairns of stones. On the side of the post facing the initial point of the line, the
number of the mile was marked by carving deeply in the wood with a sharp knife,
as 1 M., 2 M., etc. At the township corners and at the three-mile point on the
township boundaries an iron post of the standard pattern was planted flush
with the surface of the ground, and at each of these the required pits and mounds
were made, or in the case of a witness post a circular trench and mound were
made. Where an iron post was planted a wooden post was also planted a foot
from the iron post, but in all cases the iron post was set at the true point.

Two bearing trees were marked wherever they were available by blazing
the tree and carving thereon the letters "B.T." The distance and astronomic
bearing from the post to the face of the blaze was noted and shown in our field
notes.

The lines were well opened out and the trees adjacent to the lines and on
each side thereof were blazed on three sides in the usual manner.

All lakes across which we could not chain in the usual manner were tri-
angulated and the angles of such triangles were invariably read twice or more
to insure accuracy and the bases of such triangles measured with great care.

On the north boundary of Township 11, between four and a half and five
and a half miles, we encountered considerable difficulty and the morals of our
party suffered much, when we ran into about a mile of drowned land so densely
wooded with standing and fallen timber that it was impossible to bring a canoe
in, yet the water was from four to eight feet deep. We finally succeeded in
getting it cut through and chained with the loss of some time.

The measuring was all done with tapes two chains in length, which were
carefully tested with a standard of measure before we commenced operations.
On sloping ground the clinometer was used to measure the vertical angle and the
horizontal distance derived therefrom.

Frequent astronomical observations were taken on Polaris, records of most
of which are attached to our field notes. North and south lines were run as
true astronomical meridians. East and west lines were run as chords of latitude
passing through the township angles. The magnetic readings were taken fre-
quently and found to be nearly constant at seven degrees west of north.

Soil.

No agricultural land was met with in the whole country traversed by the
survey. The soil is composed of sand, generally underlaid with gravel and
strewn with boulders. Many rock outcrops occur.

Physical Features.

The country for the most part is hilly and dotted with innumerable small
and large lakes, most of which contain very clear water, particularly so in the
south part of the survey. The principal lakes are Ramsay, Biscotasing and
Indian Lakes. Ramsay Lake extends through the Townships of Joffre, Number
11, and Kelso, and extends into the northeast angle of Ivy, the northwest angle
of Earl and the southwest angle of McPhail. The water of this lake has been

110 REPORT OF THE No. 3

raised several feet by a dam at its outlet into Biscotasing Lake. Owing to this
increased height of water there is a great deal of drowned land around its shores.
There are several small rivers or creeks coming into this lake, two running north
through the Township of Kelso, one running east in the southwest angle of
Township 11 and one running southeast in the northwest angle of Township 11,

Biscotasing Lake extends through the Townships of McPhail, Number 10,
Number 9 and Biskotasi. This lake in most places has rocky shores and is made
up of long bays running in all directions, which makes it difficult to travel on
without an accurate map.

Indian Lake is a long narrow lake lying north and south in the Townships
of McPhail, Earl and Jasper. It has also rocky shores and many bays.

While the presence of so many lakes made life in the bush more pleasant
and were very helpful for transportation purposes, they were usually more of a
hindrance than an advantage to running a line.

Timber.

The timber in the Townships of Carew, Alcona, Joffre, 12, 10 and 11 and the
north part of Kelso and McPhail is of little importance as it is nearly all second
growth, having been burned over some twenty or twenty-five years ago, and this
area is now grown up with jack pine, poplar, birch, balsam and spruce averaging
six to eight inches in diameter. The Townships of Ivy, Earl, Durban and Jasper
and the south part of Kelso and McPhail are fairly well timbered with jack pine,
spruce, poplar and birch of merchantable size. In this area there is also an
occasional red and white pine of good size.

Game.

The large game is quite plentiful throughout the area covered. Moose,
red deer and bears were often seen. Partridge and rabbits were seen in abund-
ance and the small fur-bearing animals were also numerous. The only fish we
were able to catch were pike and pickerel and were plentiful in all the lakes of
any size.

Rock.

The rock formation is of granite and feldspar and no evidence of valuable
minerals were seen.

Accompanying this report we are forwarding general plan on mounted
drawing paper, timber plan on linen, field notes, accounts in triplicate and the
usual affidavits, all of which are respectfully submitted, and we sincerely trust
the same will meet with your approval.

We have the honour to be. Sir,

Your obedient servants,

Base and Meridian Lines, District of Thunder Bay.

Port Arthur, November 9th, 1922.

Sir, — Under instructions from your Department dated April 21st, 1922,
to survey certain base and meridian lines in the District of Thunder Bay, we
beg to report that we have completed the work.

Our party, accompanied by Mr. W. L. Swanson, Geologist for the Depart-
ment of Mines, left Port Arthur on June 7th for Mack on the Lake Superior
branch of the Canadian National Railway. From Mack the route was by way
of a chain of small lakes and short portages to Cedar Lake, where O.L.S. Ross's
base line was located and followed to the thirty-sixth mile post which was our
starting point.

From this point a base line was run twelve miles east, and from this twelve
mile point a meridian line was run twelve miles north and produced south
eleven miles and sixty-seven chains and ninety-eight links to intersect the second
base line run by us in 1921. The base line was then continued for a total dis-
tance of forty-two miles and four chains and thirty-nine links to intersect the
west limit of the Black Sturgeon Pulp and Timber Limit run by us in 1918. From
the twenty-fourth mile post on the base line a meridian was run south eleven
miles, sixty-six chains and sixty-three and four-tenths links to intersect the second
base line run by us in 1921. This meridian was also run north twelve miles and
thence a base line was run east seventeen miles, seventy-nine chciins and seventy
links to intersect the west limit of the Nepigon Forest Reserve run by us in 1920.
The instructions in regard to the details of the performance of the work were
followed carefully. Where a closure was obtained the actual chainage checked
very closely with the theoretical, showing that the chaining was well done. In
one case, viz., at the end of the first base line, the pits and mounds were omitted
owing to the ground being composed of boulders for a considerable distance from
the corner. The iron post was, however, well planted.

The country passed through was in general well timbered except foj a portion
approximately between the seventeenth mile and the twenty-sixth mile on the
first base line and all of the second meridian south of the first base line. This
area in parts has been burnt several times and is bare of trees, while in other
parts it is covered with a dense growth of poplar, birch and jack pine. There
is good spruce in the swamps in this area, but these do not appear to be of any
great extent. Other areas which have been burnt within recent years are, an
area extending from the fifteenth mile on the second base line to the end of the
line, and for a distance of about one-half a mile on each side of the four mile post
on the first base line. The remainder of the country was well covered with
timber, the varieties being as shown on the accompanying timber plan. Spruce
is the principal species. There is also a good stand of jack pine extending along
the second meridian north from about the fourth mile to the end and along the
second base line to the burnt area near the fifteenth mile post, although the timber
gets smaller as we travel east. There are also a few small stands of jack pine
as shown on the plan.

The country along and adjacent to the first twelve miles of the first base
line appears to contain a large number of good sized lakes not shown on any
map. No effort was made to make a survey of these, any information shown
on the plan being approximate and from information given by the freighters.

112 REPORT OF THE No. 3

The land is generally level or rolling, and the soil sandy or rocky or boulders.
Near Lac des Isles, on the second meridian south of the first base line, there are
high rocky hills and the country is very rough and broken. On the second
meridian north of the first base line where the jack pine is found, the country
is very hilly and broken, being full of dry sloughs and small lakes which appar-
ently have neither inlet nor outlet. This is the only portion of the country
which shows any agricultural possibilities at all, the soil being sandy loam; the
area, however, is insignificant.

On account of the party being accompanied by a geologist, Mr. W. L.
Swanson, M.A., sent out by the Department of Mines, no attempt was made
to note the geology.

There were no well defined water routes within the limits of the survey.
There is a well travelled route from Mack to Cedar Lake. From Cedar Lake
supplies were brought to the lake on the fifth mile of the first base line by a
series of small creeks which were said to be very indifferent travelling. From
this lake a good route was obtained to Sucker Lake and the river running out of
Sucker Lake to where it crosses the first base line. The next route used was via
Kelley and Dog River to the lake shown on the plan about three miles west of
the second meridian and thence north and following the dotted line shown on the
plan. This river was said to be very rapid in places and no portages or other
signs of use were found except for a short distance north and south of the first
base line where it had been used by trappers who have another route branching
off to the west, south of the first base line. From this river, which crosses the
second base line on the eighth mile, a portage was made along the line to the small
lake shown on the fifteenth mile and the lake and river running out of it were
followed to Kavitotikwia Lake. This river is full of rapids and extremely
crooked and at this time of the year (September) was very poor travelling on
account of low water. The whole district covered does not appear to be travelled
to any extent except in the winter by trappers, of whom frequent signs were seen.

The usual animal life was present in the shape of moose, deer, bears, beaver,
wolves, etc. The most common fish was found to be pike, although it was stated
by the Indians that some of the streams contain trout.

With this report are the usual plan, field notes, etc.

We have the honour to be. Sir,

Your obedient servants,

Appendix No. 40.
Township Outlines in District of Sudbury.

South Porcupine, Ont., December 1st, 1922.

Sir, — I beg to submit the following report of the survey of certain township
outlines in the District of Sudbury, made by me during the past summer under
instructions from your Department, dated April 12th, 1922.

The survey was commenced on the 29th July at the northwest angle of
Township No. 4, which point was, and is, marked by an iron and a wooden
post. From this point a line was run west six miles between Townships No. 6
and Alton, an observation having been taken the night of July 27th, and from
the same point a meridian was run north between Townships Nos. 5 and 6, 7
and 8, Chalet and 9, and Arden and Biscotasi, a distance of twenty-four miles
four chains and twenty-seven and seven-tenths links, to the south limit of the
Township of Smuts, intersecting the latter limit, four chains and fifty-one links,
west of the southeasterly angle of the said township.

From the six mile point on this meridian a line was run east between Town-
ships 5 and 7 to the westerly limit of the Township of Battersby, intersecting
this limit 45.7 links south of the northwest angle, and west six miles between
Townships Nos. 6 and 8. Near this six mile point, which is now the corner of
four townships, only one iron post, planted by O.L.S. Stewart in his survey
of townships along the Canadian Pacific Railway, is in place, and its location
with reference to this corner is shown in the field notes accompanying this report.

From the twelve mile point on this meridian a line was run east between the
Townships of Chalet and No. 7 to the northwesterly angle of the Township of
Marquette, and west six miles between Townships Nos. 8 and 9, crossing the
Canadian Pacific right of way. Near this point of crossing posts had been
planted by O.L.S. Stewart in his survey mentioned above, but they have been
removed and the only evidence of their location is a cairn of stones which is
referenced in the field notes of this line, page fifty-two.

From the eighteen mile point on this meridian a line was run east between
the Townships of Chalet and Arden to the west limit of the Township of Paudash,
and west between Townships No. 9 and Biscotasi to the easterly limit of Town-
ship No. 10, intersecting this latter limit 2 chains and 99.6 links south of the
northeasterly angle of the said township.

A second meridian was run south from a post planted by O.L.S Stewart,
in his survey mentioned above, south of the Canadian Pacific Railway on the
line between Townships Nos. 9 and 10, this post being a piece of gas pipe marked
9 on the east, and 10 on the west side, to the northerly limit of Township H in
the Mississaga Forest Reserve, forming the west boundary of part of Township
No. 9 and of Townships Nos. 6, 8 and Alton.

Your instructions, including the general instructions relating to the planting
of iron posts, were rigidly adhered to in every particular. The base lines were,
in all cases, run in the direction indicated as chords of parallels of latitude, passing
through the township corners, and the meridians north and south astronomically,
observations on Polaris being taken whenever possible. The lines were well
opened out and well blazed. Posts of the most durable wood obtainable, at
least six inches square, well made and well carved, were planted at all points
ordered, each in a cairn of stones where the latter were procurable, and two care-
fully selected bearing trees marked near each. The iron posts furnished by your

8 L.F.

114 REPORT OF THE No. 3

Department were placed where directed in your instructions, and the mounds,
pits and trenches well formed in the proper position that applied to each case,
except at the point of intersection of the line between Townships No. 9 and Chalet
with the westerly limit of the Township of Marquette. This point was 4.5
links south of the northwest angle of the latter township, and as the placing of
another iron post, and the making of the necessary pits and mounds, would
interfere with those already there, the latter angle was made the point of inter-
section, and the old posts marked accordingly.

The chainmen were instructed as directed by you, the steel tapes compared
with the standard before, and during, the survey; a clinometer used on all grades,
and every precaution taken to insure accurate measurements.

Timber.

A great part of the area included in the outlines has been timbered over
many years ago, but at the present time pulpwood is being taken out in places,
and some stands of jack pine adjacent to the Canadian Pacific Railway have
been cut quite recently. There is considerable timber of pulpwood size along the
first meridian, excepting the last five miles, and along the south boundaries of
Chalet and part of No. 7. The timber along the north boundary of Alton, the
west boundaries of Alton and 6 and 8, and the east half of the north limit of 6
and 8 is of good quality, much of it being suitable for pulp, with several good
stands of jack pine well suited for ties. Along the north and west limits of Alton
there is a considerable number of white and red pine, big and apparently of good
quality. Two large areas were recently burned over, one between the Hog's
Back Channel and the west branch of the Spanish River, on both sides of the
line between Townships 8 and 9; the other between the east and west branches
of the Spanish River on either side of the line between Townships 5 and 6.

Water Courses.

In this district is a network of excellent water courses. East of the C. P. R.
the three branches of the Spanish River, and the Dead River, with their connect-
ing lakes, furnish good routes for canoe traffic and river driving, the portages
being well cut out and comparatively short. West of the C. P. R. the Indian
Lake and the Hog's Back Channel provide a fine route to the Mississaga Forest
Reserve.

Rock Formation.

The predominant rock in this area is reddish coloured biotite granite of
Laurentian age. It is well exposed on the shores of many of the lakes, and on
the steep slopes of some of the hills. On the north limit of Township No. 5
inclusions of Keewatin schist were observed in the granite. On the north bound-
ary of Township No. 8 where the rock is well exposed in the brule area there are
several diabase dykes, and on the east shore of Indian Lake a big dyke, similar
in nature, some chains wide, on which have been staked a number of claims, was
noted, but no mineralization was detected. No indications of economic minerals
were observed during the entire survey.

Physical Features .and Soil.

The area as a whole is very hilly, and the granite ridges and the lakes have
a general north and south direction. The soil of nearly the entire area is a sandy

1921-22

DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS

115

loam, mostly shallow, with a few small areas of clay, the whole country being
unsuitable for agriculture.

Fish and Game.

Big pike were taken from many of the lakes and from the Spanish River,
and they seemed to be plentiful; no other kinds of fish were seen, but Winnie
Lake on the north boundary of Alton Township is locally reported to abound in
trout.

Moose and red deer, and indications of them were frequently seen in all
parts of area, as were also signs of bear and beaver.

Partridge of two distinct varieties were very plentiful.

Water Powers.

The only water power, worthy of consideration, encountered during the
survey is on the west branch of the Spanish River, two chains north of the north
limit of Township No. 8, where there is a fall of twelve and one-half feet, which
could be, with a short dam, increased to twenty-five feet. There are three
rapids on the west branch below this point with a combined fall of about eight
feet. ^...^

Accompanying this report are the township plan on mounted drawing
paper, a timber plan, field notes, the required affidavits, and account in triplicate.
I am also returning the set of dies furnished by your Department.

Survey of the Abitibi River,

Sault Ste. Marie, December 23rd, 1922.

Sir, — Acting on instructions from you dated 28th March, 1922, to survey
the Abitibi River from the north boundary of the Township of Leitch to its
mouth, I commenced organizing for this work on May 25th, 1922, leaving
Sault Ste. Marie via North Bay and Cochrane with five men and arriving at

Mounding post on Niven's Base Line.

Clute on May 29th. At Clute I bought supplies, etc., and after overhauling
same, had part of them together with outfit and canoes teamed to the landing
at the Frederick House River, a distance of about four miles. To attempt

From the north boundary of the Township of Leitch (below Kettle Falls)
the point of commencement to the Three Carrying Places, a distance of about
twenty miles, the river has a strong current but is easily navigable for loaded
launches or scows, there being a depth of from ten to twenty-five feet at low water

about four miles, is swift and generally wide and shallow with occasional narrows

Crossing, the right of way having been cleared to this point. Following'down
stream from the foot of Island Portage Rapids to the Lobstick, a distance of
about twenty miles, the river is a series of sweeping curves with a width of about
twelve chains, almost free from boulders and is good motor boat navigation^

Sextant Rapids, Abitibi River.

From the Lobstick to the foot of the Abitibi canyon (taking in Burntwood
Chutes, Clay Rapids, Birch Rapids and Oil Can Rapids) a distance of about
seven miles, the river has a very heavy current, with almost continuous rapids,
chutes and falls, and can only be navigated by expert canoemen making at
least five portages. From the foot of the Abitibi canyon to the Otters, a distance
of about twenty-two miles, the river is swift and rapid for the first three miles.

the remaining distance being moderately swift, but could be navigated by loaded
launches or scows.

The navigable parts of the three stretches of river heretofore mentioned
traverse between banks of clay, generally sloping gently back from the river to
a height of from about twenty to one hundred feet or more. Along the un-
navigable parts, such as rapids, falls, chutes and canyons, the shores are rocky
and in some places precipitous.

Continuing down stream from the foot of the Otters to where the river
empties into the Moose, a distance of about seventy-five miles, the river becomes
wide, shallow and swift, having a fall of about 245 feet, mostly taken up in
the Sextant, the Corals, the Nine Mile Rapids and Allan Rapids. The river
bed, most noticeable at the above mentioned rapids, is of limestone shale, the

banks are of clay with occasional outcroppings of limestone shale, sloping
back to a height of from twenty to sixty feet. In many places along the river's
shore will be seen large deposits of oil shale, pieces of which when thrown into a
fire will give off heavy black smoke and strong gases. Lignite outcrops are
frequent along this part of the river which when dried burns well and gives off

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 119

a blue flame with coal-like gas. I am of the opinion that in the lower regions of
this and other rivers which I have surveyed there is great inducements for
prospecting for oil and coal. One of my party found a float of coal on the Little
Abitibi River near its mouth.

Water Power.

At the Three Carrying Places the fall at mean water level is twenty-three
feet. The site is not especially adapted for water power development as the
gorge is wide and flat at this point and it will be discussed hereafter with Island
Portage Rapids.

Island Portage Rapids is about thirty chains in length and has a fall of
6.5 feet. Slightly below head of rapids is an island which is a satisfactory
location for a dam. A dam has been proposed to give a head of fifty feet; the
length would be about twelve hundred feet. This is being investigated by
Messrs. Kerry and Chace, engineers. A fifty foot head would flood out the

Three Carrying Places and back up the river as far as the foot of the Long Sault
Rapids, flooding out Kettle Falls.

At the Lobstick there is a drop of about thirty-six feet at mean water in a
distance of forty chains. To develop this a dam could be placed down stream
near the foot of the portage where the gorge, which is rocky and canyon like, is
about five chains wide with a small island in the centre. This could be developed
in conjunction with Burntwood Chutes, the head of which is about twenty-five
chains below high rock above noted.

Burntwood Chutes has a fall of twenty-one feet. The foot of this chute is
a satisfactory dam site. It would appear easy to place a dam of sufficient height
at this point to flood back to the head of the Lobstick, and such a dam would
be about four hundred feet long and could develop a head of about fifty-seven
feet. A short distance below this the river widens to about ten chains.

The Abitibi Canyon has a fall of ninety-two feet and is about one and three-
quarter miles in length, whose walls of rock run up to an elevation of about one
hundred and sixty feet. Its width at the water's edge averages about three
chains. Water power for this stretch of river could most cheaply be developed
by a dam in the lower part of the canyon. The length of spillway required to
pass maximum floods might be a controlling factor in location of dam. It would
be possible to construct a dam to flood back to the head of the Lobstick develop-

ing a head of 210 feet. The length of dam required for this head would be nearly
one thousand feet. A proposed dam is indicated about one mile below head of
Canyon, creating a head of 150 feet by flooding water back to foot of Burnt-
wood Chutes, such dam would have a crest length of about three hundred feet.
There appear to be several alternative ways of making this development, and it

requires much detail study. The watershed area at this point is about 8,575
square miles. The flow of the river at the Abitibi Paper Company's develop-
ment at Iroquois Falls is known and the watershed area at that point is also
known, and the additional flow for the total area can be computed, thus giving
total flow with fair accuracy.

seven feet. There is a good dam location at the foot, where the width is about
four chains, including a rocky island. A dam to develop the full head of the
Otters would be required to be a considerable- length, but would-be founded on
exposed rock for the greater part. Depth of overburden might be considerable
at^tho extreme ends. The river widens out considerably at the foot of thejapids.

Timber.

The timber along the river consists chiefly of poplar, spruce, balsam, birch
and cedar. In many places the country has been fire swept years ago, but since
the timber has grown up to a fair size, such as poplar to sixteen inches, and spruce
to fourteen inches. There still remain areas of land with small poplar and
birch, also other numerous stretches of river banks with almost virgin forest
timbered with spruce to thirty inches and poplar to twenty inches. On the
whole taking the above into consideration the timber along the Abitibi River
from a pulp standpoint is very good.

Below foot of Upper Otter.

1^ Comparing the Abitibi River with rivers which I have surveyed and
travelled, it is the most dependable water route to James Bay, there being at all
stages water enough to carry loaded canoes.

Survey of Township Outlines, District of Algoma.

Pembroke, Ont., January 6th, 1923.

Sir, — I have the honour to submit the following report of the survey of
Township Outlines in the District of Algoma, made by me under instructions
from your Department, dated April 12th, 1922.

I p<-oceeded from Pembroke via the Canadian National Railway to Oba,

122 REPORT OF THE No. 3

and then down the Oba River to a point nearly opposite the southwest corner of
the Township of Hawkins, my starting point, where I found cedar post marked
Hawkins on the northeast and Irving on the southeast sides and to which I
added Ermine on the southwest and Derry on the northwest sides, and ran my
first base line west nine miles, one chain and forty-seven links between Township
of Derry and Ermine, to establish the southwest corner of the Township of
Derry in accordance with instructions, and owing to this point coming in Lake
Kabinakagami I located the point of commencing of line between Derry and
Lipton by latitudes and departures on an island and continued west along the
south boundary of Township of Lipton about nine miles; then returning to the
point of commencement of line between Derry and Lipton, I ran north astron-
omically to intersection with south boundary of Township of Woolrich, which
came in Lake Kabinakagamisis and I established the commencement of line
between Townships of Lascelles and Lipton by offsets from south boundary of
Woolrich and proceeded to run my second base line west a distance of nine miles
from the southwest corner of Woolrich, thus establishing the corner of Lascelles,
Lipton, Beaton and Larkin Townships; from this corner I ran north between
Lascelles and Larkin Townships to intersection with south boundary of Haig
Township, and south between Lipton and Beaton Townships to intersection with
the south boundary of Lipton, I then ran west along the south boundary of
Beaton Township about nine miles and returning to my second base line, I ran
west between Townships of Larkin and Beaton a distance of nine miles to the
corner of LarkinJ' Chelsea, Bayfield and Beaton Townships; as this point came in
a lake I ran an offset around northwest side of lake and established the point of
commencement of line between Larkin and Chelsea which I ran north to inter-
section with south boundary of Township of Wicks tead. I then returned to my
second base line and ran south between Townships of Beaton and Bayfield to
intersection with south boundary of Beaton on my first base line; returning again
to my second base line I ran west between the Townships of Chelsea and Bay-
field a distance of nine miles and established township corner from which I ran
south along west boundary of Bayfield a distance of nine miles, then returned to
my second base line and ran north along west boundary of Chelsea to its inter-
section with south boundary of Lessard. I also re-ran south boundary of
Township of Marjory, part of my contract of 192 L I removed and destroyed
all posts, mounds and pits on the abandoned line and am forwarding field notes
of new line herewith.

The east and west lines were all run on chords of latitudes, and meridians
north or south astronomically as recorded in the field notes ; frequent observations
for azimuth were taken, the records of which are enclosed in the field notes. The
lines were cut out and blazed, wooden posts properly marked planted at every
mile, with standard iron posts, pits and mounds at every third mile, as shown
in field notes, and in accordance with instructions.

Soil.

I did not see any land suitable for agricultural purposes, the soil being mostly
sandy with stones or boulders, the surface generally being rolling with very few
hills.

Timber.

Along the south boundary of the Township of Derry east of Lake Kabina-
kagami the timber is small, principally spruce, jack pine, beech and poplar from
four inches to eight inches in diameter with some jack pine and spruce up to

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 123

ten inches, but there is some spruce, jack pine, white birch and balm of gilead
up to fifteen inches in diameter on the seventh and eight miles of this boundary.
Along the first four miles of the south boundary of Lipton, line runs through old
brule with small poplar and white birch, but from the fourth mile post west
along this boundary and the south boundary of Beaton the country is fairly well
timbered, there being some good jack pine and spruce up to fifteen inches in
diameter. On the line beween Lipton and Derry the southerly three miles is
mostly in lake and from end of fourth mile north timber is small as is also that
along line between Lipton and Lascelles. The west boundary of Lipton is fairly
well timbered with spruce and jack pine and balsam and birch from six to ten
inches in diameter, but the west boundary of Lascelles and the north and west
boundaries of Beaton run through old brule with poplar, birch, spruce and jack
pine from two to six inches in diameter. There is some fairly good jack pine
and spruce along the southerly five miles of the west boundary of Larkin, but
from there north the timber is smaller and large spruce and jack pine is scattered.
On the south and west boundaries of Chelsea the timber is mostly spruce, balsam,
birch and poplar from four to fourteen inches in diameter, while along the west
boundary of Bayfield there is some fairly good jack pine and spruce from five
to fifteen inches in diameter with balsam and white birch from four to twelve
inches. The southeast part of Beaton and the northeast part of Bayfield contains
the best timber and on the balance of the area within the limits of this survey
the timber is, as yet, not suitable for lumbering operations excepting scattered
areas whose timber is suitable for pulpwood ; the southeast part of Bayfield and
Larkin, northeast part of Beaton and nearly all of the Township of Lascelles
has been badly burned over, and is now covered with second growth poplar,
white birch, spruce and jack pine from two to six inches in diameter. The only
sign of fresh fire that we saw this season was in the southeast corner of Lascelles
and appeared to be about one mile north of Kabinakagami Lake.

Minerals.
I saw no indications of economic minerals.

Streams and Lakes.

The largest body of water encountered was Kabinakagami Lake which
extends for about six miles north into the Township of Derry and about five
miles into Lipton ; in it there are many islands, some of which are of considerable
area and nearly all well timbered. The next lake of importance is Kaginaka-
gamisis Lake, in the northeast corner of Lipton. There are smaller lakes
scattered throughout, varying in length from a few chains up to two or three miles,
the larger ones being as a rule not more than twenty or thirty chains wide.

The most important stream being Kabinakagami River, the outlet of lake of
that name, and on this there are only three or four short portages between north
end of Lake and Canadian National Railway; the next in importance is Shekak
River, flowing through Chelsea and Larkin Townships and the northwest corner of
Lascelles. This stream is not navigable by canoes in low water as it is badly
blocked by logs and driftwood and is not used as a canoe route now that the
railroad affords transportation facilities for trappers and hunters. The Little
Ground Hog River has its source in the Township of Beaton, flows northerly
through southwest corner of Lascelles and the easterly part of Larkin, again
enters Lascelles and joins the Shekak, is very shallow in places in low water,
but there are only two short portages north of the north boundary of Beaton
Township.

124 REPORT OF THE No. 3

There is also a small stream which crosses the south boundary of Lascelles
near the five mile post and flows westerly into the Little Ground Hog.
I did not see any falls capable of development.

Game.

Moose are fairly plentiful ; there are also some small deer. In Kabinakagami
Lake pickerel are very plentiful, and speckled trout in the Shekak River, the
Little Ground Hog and the stream flowing into it in the southwest corner of
Lascelles Township, the fire rangers reporting that they have caught them up to
three pounds in weight.

The area covered by this survey is not of any value for agricultural purposes,
and if fire is only kept out it will yield a considerable revenue from its timber
resources in time.

Accompanying this report are a general plan, timber plan, field notes and
usual affidavits, with account in triplicate.

Your obedient servant,

Herbert J. Beatty,

QuETico Provincial Park.

Kawene, P.O., October 31st, 1922.

Honourable Sir,— I beg to submit my report on Quetico Provincial Park
for the fiscal year ending October 31st, 1922.

During the year our staff consisted of an average of seven rangers and a
superintendent. This staff is, I think, very inadequate to properly patrol an
area the extent of Quetico Park. Unfortunately we lost one ranger by drowning
on May 13th, 1922. This is the first serious accident to our staff in the Park.
Ranger Stubbs was a strong swimmer and a fairly good canoe-man, but the
water being ice-cold, he succumbed before getting ashore. The body has not
been recovered, although every means was taken to do so.

As by your advice and authority some preparations were made for the
taking alive of some fur-bearing animals, but on account of the drowning acci-
dent all available men were engaged in searching for the body for a considerable
time, the proper time for taking such animals passed without our having secured
any.

In the matter of bush fires we have, considering the weather, been very
fortunate, there being only one small fire on White's Island, Basswood Lake.

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 125

This burnt over about forty acres covered with scrub and some balsam, con-
taining in all about fifty cords of pulpwood. This speaks well for the care
taken by tourists and others passing through the park.

The threatened railway strike hindered many tourists from visiting the
park this season, it being mostly Americans who travel here.

Excellent work has been done by the rangers in cutting new trails, cleaning
old ones and improving waterways, in order to have easier and quicker access
to places, which are threatened by fire. I would strongly recommend that a
pump and engine and about one thousand feet of hose, such as is supplied to
fire rangers, be supplied to headquarters for fire protection. The buildings at
headquarters are without any protection except what might be rendered by
the one or two men usually there, but with such equipment they would be
reasonably safe. This equipment could be carried by our own gasoline boat
down French River and over Pickerel Lake, thus, if necessary, rendering double
service.

I find that two new canoes will be necessary for the coming summer.

I would strongly recommend the taking of a number of beaver from cer-
tain parts of the park. These animals have become so numerous that in places
they have become a nuisance by building their dams across canoe-ways, flood-
ing portages, etc., also along the boundary between Quetico Park and The
Superior National Forest, Minnesota, where permits are granted to trap. The
American trapper gets the full benefit of the protection afforded by us in so far
as the natural overflow from a protected territory is concerned. A good num-
ber might be taken each year without any detriment to the park whatever,
and also form a nice revenue.

Fur-bearing animals, deer and partridge are very numerous, but the moose
apparently have moved to later burns for fresh feeding grounds.

The roofing on some of our shelter huts has been destroyed by hail, but
has since been repaired. I also find that about 500 feet of lumber will be
required for general repair purposes.

I have the honour to be. Sir,

Your obedient servant,

Hugh McDonald,

Superintendent.

126 REPORT OF THE No. 3

Appendix No. 44.
Algonquin Provincial Park of Ontario.

Honourable Sir, — I have the honour to submit my annual report for the
fiscal year ending October 31st, 1922.

In some respects the fiscal year just drawn to a close proved to be some-
what of an eventful one, in that it witnessed the superannuation of Mr. G. W.
Bartlett on April 10th, 1922, who retired after an active and meritorious career
of a quarter of a century. The following day, April 11th, the writer assumed
the duties of Acting Superintendent.

In order that the Government might possess first-hand knowledge con-
cerning conditions and the extent of its holdings in Algonquin Park, it was
found necessary to take an inventory of all buildings, machinery, horses, wagons,
furniture, fire-arms, traps, blankets and shelter house equipment in use by the
Park Ranging Staff. Much difficulty was encountered in making an accurate
inventory, for the reason that no books could be found at headquarters which
might prove helpful in this respect. Therefore, it was found necessary to have
a personal interview and obtain an affidavit from each ranger, covering a list
of articles furnished by the Government.

In due course the inventory was completed and submitted to the Depart-
ment, the total value of which being $37,802.20, and includes all buildings at
headquarters, forty-eight shelter houses, contents of the whole and all park
equipment.

Fishing.

Notwithstanding the past tourist season was short, cold and disagreeable
from a weather standpoint, the anticipated number of tourists did not arrive,
and at no time were the hotel facilities taxed, while forty per cent, of reserva-
tions were cancelled before the season was half over. The revenue received
from the sale of fishing licenses, however, exceeded by far the cash receipts of
any season heretofore recorded. The sale of domestic and non-resident fishing
licenses amounted to $2,805.00.

There is no sport in our Provincial Park which appeals to visitors more
than good fishing and a permanent fish hatchery would be a great acquisition.
In this connection I would recommend the building of a hatchery at the lower
end of Source Lake, where a never-failing flow of cold spring water is assured
and where it could be so easily controlled.

If a hatchery in the park was an established fact, the fry could be kept
until one year of age before releasing them in the lakes. The fingerlings, one
year of age, would have a fighting chance to survive and are better able to take
care of themselves.

Fishing in the waters of Algonquin during the past season was exceptionally
good. In the early part of the season, irrespective of the mosquito and black-
fly nuisance, several fine catches of speckled trout were taken from Rock, Louise
and Brufi' Lakes and the white water streams in the locality. From Cache and
Big Island Lakes some record catches of grey and land-locked salmon were
taken, varying in weight from twelve to sixteen and seventeen pounds. In an
effort to keep the waters of the park supplied with fish, some 500,000 trout fry
were distributed in the following waters, — Rainy, Brule, Joe, Canoe, Cache
and Rock Lakes.

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 127

Forest Fires.

Although the past summer was very dry and numerous small fires broke
out within the park, we should consider ourselves fortunate in escaping with
only one serious fire, viz., that of Rock Lake, which burned over an area four
miles in length along the G. T. Ry. by an irregular width of three and a half
miles.

In the early part of the season, when the section men are engaged in dead-
grass burning along their right-of-way, many small fires were started. How-
ever, the railway employees, who are usually near at hand, together with the
park rangers, joined forces and extinguished these fires before they made much
headway or assumed dangerous proportions. The railway sectionmen need some
stern education in regard to bush fires. They are in the habit of applying the
torch, touching off the dead grass close to the tracks and allowing the fire to
burn backward towards the woods.

This is a dangerous practice and a man caught in the act should be expelled
from the park.

The erection of two steel observation towers, one at White Trout Lake
and one at Cache Lake, connected up by telephone with headquarters, will
prove of inestimable value in detecting fire. I must also mention the erection
of two wooden observation towers at Little Nipissing and on the Bonnechere
River, respectively. It is expected that all towers will be manned and equipped
this coming season and splendid results are anticipated. Constant vigilance
with regard to bush fires is absolutely necessary.

Owing to the prompt action of park and fire rangers, equipped with the
small gas engine, the majority of fires were quickly extinguished and the dam-
ages were confined to a few acres.

Trails and Roads.

Guides to the number of sixty-five were employed in the park during the
season of 1922 and the majority of them report that the trails and portages are
in fairly good condition. The trails leading from headquarters are in excellent
condition and in some instances are clean enough to permit the passage of horse
and buggy. As every wind storm causes trouble, many of the trails in constant
use must be cleaned out several times during a season and outlying trails made
passable.

This season, all guides were required to keep a diary, giving the names of
parties guided, duration of trip, route travelled, number of fish taken and the
serial number of fishing license in possession of each tourist. Guides must
return the diaries, properly filled out to the Superintendent at the end of each
week or on completion of a trip. No province in the Dominion of Canada
equips a guide with a license to c^o a lucrative business as cheaply as our Pro-
vincial Parks. Not only does Algonquin furnish a license for one dollar, but
extends the privilege of travelling over portages and trails, cut out and kept
clean by the rangers. The fee should be $2.00, which seems inadequate.

It may be of interest to note that the extension of a trail or the cutting of
a new road to a lake heretofore unfrequented, has an important bearing upon
the question of game protection.

As soon as a road or trail is constructed in a new district, the wild animals
make use of it to come and go.

128

REPORT OF THE

No. 3

It is advisable to have more trails and roads throughout the park. It is a
well-known fact that wild animals will follow the trails, travelling along the
lines of least resistance, the same as humans. Poachers will avoid all well-worn
trails for fear of detection.

Poaching.

Complaints by the score arrived at the Department, to the effect that the
park was frequently invaded by outside trappers, creating the impression that
portions of the park boundary were unprotected and poachers could come and
go at will.

These conditions led to much adverse criticism, that the rangers were remiss
in their duties and reflected strongly against the Superintendent.

A new plan was introduced in an endeavour to control the outlaw element,
and with the assistance of the rangers the enforcement of the park regulations
was rigidly carried out.

In the course of a fortnight, ten poachers were brought to headquarters.
Fines were imposed to the extent of $540.00. Rifles, canoes, traps, camp out-
fits were confiscated and one particularly vicious culprit was incarcerated at
North Bay.

Ranger's Shelter House, Big Island Lake, Algonquin Park.

The result of concerted action, assisted by a flying squad of rangers, be-
came apparent almost immediately. The public took considerable interest
and gave the matter wide publicity, and I am of the firm opinion that, for a
time, Algonquin Park was absolutely free from poachers.

Algonquin Park Telephone System.

There are twenty-six or twenty-eight telephones installed and in use by
rangers and park headquarters, hotels, lumber companies, physicians and cot-
tagers. The line is connected with the Bell "Company at Huntsville, thus
affording communication with Toronto and points outside of the park.

Mr. Eraser, proprietor of Mowat Lodge, had on many occasions explained

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 129

the urgent need of telephonic connection with the outside world, not only for
the important part it would play in case of forest fires, but the hundreds of
visitors to Mowat Lodge would be very thankful for the convenience. Mr.
Eraser volunteered to cut, haul out and stand the poles if the Department
would run the wires. This arrangement appeared satisfactory and the line was
completed on October 2nd, 1922, at a cost of less than one hundred dollars to
the Department.

From Rock Lake Station to Menwahtay the old wire, which had been in
use for some ten years, was taken down and replaced with new No. 9 wire.

It is advisable that arrangements should be made with the telephone sub-
scribers, so that the Department may collect the regular annual rental on each
'phone in addition to the tolls on long distance calls.

A great many new applications were received during the past year for
camping and cottage sites. The revenue received in rentals and accompanying
new applications, amounted to $1,562.67.

Received from rental of team of horses, $112.50.

It is a well-known fact that there are persons who visit the park ever>'
summer for the purpose of collecting eggs, and a regulation should be enacted
forbidding the taking or destroying of any nest or eggs of game birds, insecti-
vorous or song birds, without a permit from the Minister of Lands and Forests.

I am very sorry to report the sudden death of Ranger Henry Foy, who
died in Eganville, May 2nd, 1922.

I am also very sorry to report a fatal accident which occurred at Whitney,
June 4th, 1922. Jos. Davis, a young aviator, went out in a small motor boat
to guide one of the new big planes to anchorage. Misjudging the distance, he
approached too close and the wash of the plane upset the boat, throwing Davis
into the Lake. Davis left a wife and four small children.

Game and Predatory Animals.

Notwithstanding the perpetual menace of the timber wolf, the deer are
everywhere abundant.

The rangers have had a large measure of success in the destruction of pre-
datory animals. In addition to the increase of big game, the valuable fur-
bearing animals, such as beaver, fisher marten, mink and otter are increasing
in the park.

Algonquin Park is serving well one of the great purposes for which it was
created. A wonderful fountain of wild life which overflows its invisible bound-
aries to the benefit of the border hunters and trappers.

Revenues.

The Department of Lands and Forests is not, nor has it been, receiving
the revenue from Provincial Parks to which it is entitled. Many sources of
revenue remain untouched and in order to secure the control which is necessary
to the proper administration of the park, regulations should be enacted to
govern and license every business now carried on, or which may be introduced
in the future. In this connection I am mentioning the sources from which
revenue is derived at the present time, viz. :

Resident Fishing License.

Non-resident Fishing License.

Guides' License — (should be two dollars instead of one).

Rondeau Provincial Park,

Morpeth P.O., Ont., October 31st, 1922.

Honourable Sir, — I beg to submit my report for the fiscal year ending

Rondeau Provincial Park is becoming more popular every year as a sum-
mer resort, a greater number of visitors coming here this last year than ever
before. Lying as it does, between Rondeau Bay and Lake Erie, the park, with

Road in Rondeau Park.

its 5,000 acres, affords great interest to lovers of nature. The forest itself is
the only one of its kind in Western Ontario, and as most of it is in its natural
state, the beauty of its wildness is unsurpassed. It is densely wooded with
most valuable timber, considerable pine, walnut, whitewood and all the varieties
of hardwood being found here. The trees are tall, straight and well proportioned.
In these beautiful woods may be seen any number of deer. They have

134 REPORT OF THE No. 3

become very numerous of late years and threaten to destroy all chances of
reforestation as they destroy all the young growth. Steps are being taken to
lessen their number, nearly two hundred having been shot this last winter for
venison, which was sold at the park by the carcase, bringing in a revenue of
over $1,600.00. Plans are being made to confine a certain number of the deer
in an enclosure of perhaps 100 acres and if this is done, reforestation would not
be impeded as it is, under present conditions.

Black squirrels are very numerous. The beaver colony is thriving and
they are evidently very energetic little animals as shown by their work. There
are plenty of muskrats throughout the marshes. The wild duck season, from
the sportsman's point of view, has been very good, ducks having been just as
numerous as in other years.

The Canadian geese and wild turkeys have not increased in numbers as
in other years on account of the racoons and skunks breaking up their nests and
destroying their young.

Pheasant rearing has been very successful with the different varieties we
have here. We have a good stock of reeves, goldens. Lady Amhersts, silvers,
Chinese and English pheasants. Many of the English pheasants have been
liberated, and a large number of eggs have been supplied to those who are inter-
ested in the rearing of these beautiful birds.

Over forty new cottages were built on the park this year, ranging in price
from $1,000.00 to $3,000.00. Lots are still very much in demand. Last spring
a new survey was made of ninety-one lots and the greater number of these are
already taken. Many communications are received every year asking for hotel
accommodation and we hope in the near future to see a modern summer hotel
erected, which will, provide ample accommodation for the public.

Tenting is very popular. The grounds are ideal and the beautiful oaks
furnish shade and shelter.

Some new roads have been constructed this year, at an expenditure of
about $1,700.00. Bowman Avenue, at the east end of the park, has been
levelled and clayed, as has also a road known as the Lake Shore Road, connect-
ing Bowman Avenue and the "Loop." These roads will be gravelled this com-
ing winter.

One of the greatest improvements the park has ever had or could have, is
that of the installation of the Hydro-Electric, which was completed about the
middle of July last. It is greatly appreciated by the public and is a wonderful
boon to the place, which was formerly in dense darkness.

A large modern ice-house was built on the park this year. The lessees of
the public stand have control of it and they supply ice at a moderate price to
all who require it.

Angling has been good on the bay this year, and the addition of a boat
livery fills a long-felt need.

Another convenience this year has been the establishing of a gasoline and
oil station. This convenience has indeed been greatly appreciated by the
travelling public.

I have the honour to be. Sir,
Your obedient servant,

George Goldworthy,

Park Superintendent.

Appendix No. 46.

Toronto, Ont., October 31st, 1922.
Honourable Beniah Bowman, Minister of Lands and Forests, Ontario.

Sir, — I have the honour to submit my report of the work performed by
the Colonization Roads Branch of the Department of Lands and Forests for
the fiscal year ending October 31st, 1922.

This report is presented in tabulated form. On its final page is shown a
summary of the total expenditures on the various classes of work performed.

Mining Road, Frontenac County.

The total expenditure for the year was $671,184.48. Of this amount $414,863.74
was expended directly by this department upon roads and bridges in approxi-
mately three hundred townships. The expenditure for inspection, engineering
and miscellaneous services was $33,710.19. The remainder, $222,610.55, was

136

REPORT OF THE

No. 3

distributed as grants towards the expenditures made by one hundred and ninety-
nine municipaUties, who passed Road, Machinery, and Road Overseer by-laws,
in accordance with the provisions of the Colonization Roads Act.

The inspectors in nearly every district have acted as paymasters, and while
this has increased the burden of their duties, nevertheless, it is proving more
satisfactory than appointing overseers to handle the money and make the
expenditures.

Road Construction in Muskoka.

The efificiency could be further increased by providing clerical assistance
for the inspectors, and furnishing them with light motor cars to supervise their
work.

More attention was given during the past fiscal year to the proper surveying
and locating of new roads and diversions from roads previously constructed.
Municipalities and district organizations are co-operating with this department
more than ever before, but there is still room for marked improvement.

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 137

I would strongly urge that legislation be enacted, making all grants con-
ditional on those benefited being compelled to assume some of the burden of,
and responsibility for, the cost in every expenditure.

All of which is respectfully submitted.

I have the honour to be, Sir,

Your obedient servant,

C. H. FULLERTON,

Superintendent Colonization Roads.

Appendix No. 47.

Toronto, Ont., Oct. 31st, A.D. 1922.

To the Honourable Beniah Bowman, Minister of Lands and Forests, Ontario.

Sir, — I have the honour to submit to you the report on the construction
and maintenance of highways and bridges, under the provisions of the Northern
and Northwestern Ontario Development Act, 1912, and amendments during
the season ending 31st October, 1922.

The rapidly increasing volume of traffic on the trunk roads under the juris-
diction of the Northern Development Branch called for a large expenditure
during the past year, and "Maintenance Patrols" have been established on all
the principal roads. These "patrols" have proven to be very satisfactory
and, well organized, they are executing a maximum amount of road work at a
minimum expense.

Where a trunk road requires attention beyond the powers of the maintenance
patrol, construction parties have been organized, either on a contract basis
or by day labour, and in this way the efficiency of the patrol has not been im-
paired.

Severn to North Bay road widening.

The road from Severn to North Bay, for example, was maintained in good
condition, but widening, grading, and surfacing being necessary at certain
points, as between Severn and Gravenhurst and between Gravenhurst and
Bracebridge, this was looked after by construction parties, without interference
with the maintenance arrangements.

Branching from the foregoing, the Gravenhurst-Bala- Parry Sound, Hunts-
ville-Dwight, Burks Falls-Magnetawan, Sundridge-Magnetawan, Trout Creek-
Loring, Powassan-Loring and Powassan-Chisholm Roads, were taken care of
by both maintenance and construction parties as well as the road from Parry

160 REPORT OF THE No. 3

Sound northerly in the direction of Magnetawan, and the expenditure in the
Districts of Muskoka and Parry Sound was practically all on the roads referred to.

Work on the Pembroke-Sault Ste. Marie Road was better organized than
ever before, the maintenance patrols performing eflfective work, while the
construction parties on the gap between Mattawa and Chalk River opened up
approximately fourteen miles which makes it very probable that during the
season of 1923 the gap will be removed and the road graded all the way. Exten-
sive betterments and improvements were made on the sections between
North Bay and Sudbury and between Sudbury and Sault Ste. Marie, the whole
road being maintained in very fair condition.

Surveys were commenced in the fall with a view to the location of a road
to connect Temiskaming District with the roads in Southern Ontario and the
survey parties are still engaged on the work.

The work on the Latchford-Cochrane Trunk Road, progressed very satis-
factorily, the section connecting Swastika, and the Kirkland Lake gold area

Internaliuiiai liigiivvay, Thunder Bay District.

with the Cobalt silver camp being advanced so near completion that it will
only be a short time until vehicular traffic can move over the entire road without
difficulty. Seven miles of the previously unopened portion lying immediately
south of Cochrane was cut out, and many miles of gravelling done on the already
opened portions.

On the Porquis Junction-Timmins Road, a distance of about three miles
was cut out and about six miles graded, and the heavily travelled section between
South Porcupine and Timmins was maintained in fair condition and consider-
ably improved.

In addition to the foregoing the following roads in the Temiskaming District,
received considerable attention: — North Cobalt to South Lorrain, Milberta
to Elk Lake, Elk Lake to Gowganda, Englehart to Charlton and Elk Lake,
vSwastika to Kirkland Lake and extension into Lebel and Gauthier townships,
Dane to Larder Lake, Boston Creek to Skead Township, Boston Creek to Round
Lake, Kirkland Lake to Goodfish, Lightning River Road through townships

162 REPORT OF THE No. 3

of Munro, Michaud, and McCool, Matachewan Road, Munro Road, Matheson-
Shillington Road, Monteith-Shillington Road and Porquis Junction-Iroquois
Falls Road.

In the Thunder Bay District the policy inaugurated the previous year
was again followed with success and the principal roads then mentioned were
maintained in good condition. The Eastern Highway between Port Arthur
and Nepigon was further cut out a distance of nearly six miles.

The leading roads in Kenora and Dryden Districts were well taken care of,
the principal work being the cutting out of a road from Keewatin to the Manitoba
boundary, a distance of over thirty miles, and the cutting out of the road to
Redditt, a distance of over ten miles.

The expenditure in the Rainy River District was mainly taken up by
betterments and improvements on the Trunk Road, Fort Frances to Rainy
River and the main roads leading to it. There was, of course, the systematic
maintenance of the roads, and extensions to the leading roads referred to so as
to reach outlying settlers.

The Consolidated School Routes were given special attention, and the
co-operation of this branch has assisted materially in the success of this system.

In conclusion last year I referred to the increase of expenditures on road
drainage and I would now point out that this increase — again in evidence this
year — is already showing a marked improvement in the condition of the roads.

All of which is respectfully submitted. I have the honour to be, sir.

Your obedient servant,

C. H, FULLERTON,

Director, Northern Development Branch.

Section 1 (D).

THE ASSISTANCE OF SETTLERS.

Re Feed Shortage.

The indifferent growing season of 1921 necessitated assistance being given
to the farmers of Manitoulin Island and in the neighbourhood of Mattawa
during the summer of that year; and during the succeeding fall and winter
the same shortage of feed became evident in those parts of Northern Ontario
west of Mattawa, and extending along the main line of the Canadian Pacific
Railway to Sudbury, and along the Soo Branch as far as Walford; north from
Sudbury along the Canadian Northern Railway to Hanmer; south from Sud-
bury along the Canadian Pacific Railway to Rutter; and south from North
Bay along the Grand Trunk Railway to Powassan. This territory embraces
numerous excellent farming communities, the produce from which, in normal
seasons, is sufficient not only to provide for local requirements, but for consider-
able sale to outside points. The poor growth during 1921, however, produced
such a reduced crop that fodder was not available in sufficient quantity to feed
the stock which the farmers had on hand. The assistance which had been
provided by the Branch to the farmers of Manitoulin Island was, therefore,
extended to meet the additional needs. Sixteen distribution centres were
established in the area of the shortage, at Mattawa, Eau Claire, Rutherglen,
Bonfield, Rankin Siding, Warren, Markstay, Nairn Centre, Webbwood, Massey,
Walford, Blezard Valley, Hanmer, Rutter, Callander and Powassan; to these
points hay was shipped for sale to farmers, from other sections of the Province,
at a considerable saving in cost over the prevailing local rate. The total quan-
tity supplied amounted to 1,307 tons of hay, and 3,070 bushels of corn. Part
of this was paid for in cash; the remainder was sold on guaranteed promissory
notes payable in 12 months, with interest at 6 per cent, per annum. The feed
supplied was of great benefit to the farmers, as it enabled them to retain their
stock during the winter, instead of being compelled to dispose of them at sacri-
fice prices, as would otherwise have been the case.

Refunds were received during the year for cash sales and for feed previ-
ously supplied on promissory notes to the amount of $24,287.08.

Section 1 (E) — Creamery.

New Liskeard, Ont.,

November 10, 1922.
To. The Honourable Beniah Bowman,
Minister of Lands and Forests,
Parliament Buildings,
Toronto.
Dear Sir, — I beg to enclose report of the operations of the Government
Creamery for the year ending 31st October, 1922.

For the past year we took in 347,856 lbs", of cream, made 119,278 lbs. of
butter, and paid farmers for cream delivered $35,896.83, at an average price
of 38.6 cents per lb. fat. The quantity of cream received in 1922 represents an

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 203

increase over 1921 of 50,289 lbs., which would be equivalent to a gain of over
500,000 lbs. in milk produced by the dairy farmers of the district over the pre-
ceding year. The number of patrons was increased from 236 in 1921 to 319 in
1922. This development was very gratifying indeed, and our increase in butter
and cream would have been somewhat greater but for the disastrous fire of
October 4th, which destroyed a number of cows as well as farm buildings and
feed. This year I think the farmers of this part of the district had the best
crops they have had in the history of the north country, both in hay and grain.
Although the latter part of the season up until the time of the fire was dry, yet
the grass was quite plentiful, and the second growth of clover was nearly as good
as the first. A great many of our patrons were burnt out and some even lost
their lives in the fire. This will no doubt affect our winter business, which
promised to be the greatest in the history of this institution. We had been
working toward this end for the last five years; encouraging and educating our
patrons to go in for winter dairying, and just when our hopes seemed to be
fully realized with abundant crops and a great number of fresh cows, on October
4th our prospects were shattered by the great calamity that befell our district.

SUMMARY OF OPERATIONS.
From August 17th, 1917 to October 31st, 1922.

Pounds of Cream received 1,483,599

Pounds of Butter manufactured 484,156

Value of Butter $222,848 . 18

Paid to Patrons $195,076.31

I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant,

(Sgd.) A. MacLachlan,

Manager.

Section 2 (1) — Seed Grain.

The shortage of the grain crop in Northern and Northwestern Ontario
during 1921 necessitated an increase in the quantity of seed grain distributed
in that area for spring seeding in 1922. Applications were received for upwards
of 32,000 bushels of oats and 1,700 bushels of wheat. Considerable difficulty
was experienced in obtaining seed oats of the necessary high quality, as the
crop shortage in Ontario during the previous season had the effect of reducing
the available quantity of seed grain to a minimum. This necessitated supplies
being purchased from the Western Provinces, which was a departure from the
usual practice of the Branch in supplying seed grain for distribution in Northern
Ontario. Wherever possible, local supplies were obtained in preference to
importation of Western grain.

Sixteen distribution centres were established in co-operation with the
representatives of the Department of Agriculture or of this Branch. The seed
was supplied either for cash or upon promissory note secured by a lien placed
upon the land of the applicant. The results, in spite of the difficulties above
alluded to, have on the whole proved very satisfactory, although experience
has shown the advisability of sowing Ontario seed when it is available.

In some districts, particularly Manitoulin Island and in the vicinity of
Sudbury, grasshoppers made their reappearance during the past season, and
seriously affected the crops. A large quantity of arsenic was provided by the
Branch and used in the affected areas under the superintendence and with the
co-operation of the Agricultural Representatives. In other districts, however,
the season proved to be an excellent one, and satisfactory crops were raised.

The total expenditure incurred in the purchase and local costs of distribu-
tion of the seed amounted to $37,174.84.

204 REPORT OF THE No. 3

Section 2 (2) — Cattle Purchase.

The purchase of cows by the Branch for resale to farmers in the northern
part of Temiskaming district was so successful in the year 1921, that it was
found advisable to repeat the procedure this year. A further car-load was
purchased in the Powassan section, consisting of an excellent grade of cattle,
viz.: 19 cows, 1 bull, 3 heifers and 3 calves. The bull was sold for $75.00, the
three calves produced $25.00; the heifers and cows realized from $35.00 to
$115.00 each; the total returns being sufficient to repay the cost of the cattle
and distribution. The advantage of this method of purchasing cows for the
northern settlers by car-load lots ensures their obtaining the cattle at the lowest
cost, and brings the expert judgment of the Superintendent of the Monteith
Experimental Farm to the assistance of the farmers in procuring the best and
most suitable type of animal for the locality.

46 Richmond Street West,

Toronto, January 10th, 1923.

To the Honourable, the Minister of Lands and Forests.

Dear Sir, — I have the honour to herewith submit a report of the busi-
ness of this Department to the end of October, 1922, as follows: —

Total number of applications received, 3,871. These applied for loans
amounting to $1,554,800.00, being an average application of $392.47.

Consideration of each application being on its own merits, and the basis,
as usual, on which the loans have been advanced was that of the actual improve-
ments to land.

The total number of loans granted to settlers being 2,549, amounting to
$860,235.00, being an average loan of $323.40. This amount includes a loan
to the Sudbury Co-Operative Creamery Co., Ltd., of $24,000.00, and a loan of
$10,000.00 to the Kenora Dairy Co-Operative Association; also $3,500.00 to
the Producers Co-Operative Creamery Co., Ltd., of Lavallee, District of Rainy
River,

It is a pleasure to refer to the manner in which repayments on account of

208

loans have been met; being 89.16% on account of interest, and 90.83% on
account of principal. The repayments on principal include some loans paid in
advance.

From information received from the several districts, the Department
learns that settlers are giving more attention to the development of their own lots
than in former years, and seem more anxious than ever to get themselves in a
position to carry stock.

During the year there have been many expressions of appreciation of the
service that the loan has been to settlers.

All of which is respectfully submitted.

Appendix No. 50.
Report of Forestry Branch, 1922.

Sir, — The report of the work of this Branch for the year ending October
31st, 1922, is given under the sections of Forest Fire Protection, Forest Investi-
gations, Reforestation and Forest Pathology.

I.— FOREST FIRE PROTECTION.

(1) Legislation.

The Forest Fires Prevention Act has not been changed since 1918. Experi-
ences since then have indicated, however, that certain amendments are desir-
able. The lack of compulsory fire-fighting, and jail sentences as well as fines
for certain infringements of the Act, are particularly felt.

(2) Organization and Personnel.

The supervision of the field force was carried on by one Forest Supervisor
with headquarters at Kenora, one Fire Inspector with headquarters at Cochrane,
one Assistant Superintendent of Fire Ranging and one Fire Inspector with
headquarters at Sudbury, and three District Foresters, each with a Forest
Assistant, with headquarters at Parry Sound, Pembroke and Tweed. The
District Foresters and Forest Assistants are all technical foresters.

A rearrangement of Chief Ranger Districts was made, whereby one new
district was created, and two old districts abolished, the territory in these being
divided among the adjoining districts. In addition to this, the country south
of the French River and Lake Nipissing, and within the Fire District, was divided
into three Forest Districts, each in charge of a District Forester, who was
directly responsible for the fire protection in his district.

210

REPORT OF THE

No. 3

There were on duty a total of thirty Chief Rangers and sixty-two Deputy
Chief Rangers, allowing direct field supervision of one Deputy or Chief Ranger
to every eleven Rangers.

The average daily force was as follows: April, 29; May, 595; June, 1,053;
July, 1,054; August, 1,024; September, 463; October, 70. The largest number
of men on duty at any one time, including ninety-two Chief and Deputy Chief
Rangers, was 1,067.

As a result of the fire season being early, there were 595 men on duty by
the middle of May, and at the end of the month 1,002. On the 15th of June, the
total number was 1,052; on the 13th of June, 1,065; on the 15th of July, 1,054;
on the 31st of July, 1,044; on the 15th of August, 1,040. It was possible to dis-
continue some patrols during the last days of August so that by the end of the
month the total number on duty was 980. By the middle of September the
number had been reduced to 545, and at the 1st of October to 101. On the 15th
of October there were 44 men on the pay roll.

One of the greatest drawbacks to proper forest fire protection in Ontario is
the impermanency of the personnel. Fire ranging is a specialized line of work,
requiring special training, and until a permanent staff is built up, whereby
the chief and deputy chief rangers at least may be put on a permanent basis,
the organization will not have the degree of efficiency which is desired. A
ranger school where these men could be given from one to three months' special
training each year would also aid materially.

(3) Expenditure.

The expenditure for the fiscal year was $643,902.63, classified as below,
with the figures for the preceding years given for comparison. Against this
expenditure, protection accounts for the year totalled $309,938.40.

(4) Fires.

The spring of 1922 was fairly wet up until about the last week in April,
when, in some districts the weather turned warm and dry and continued so until
after the 1st of June, and as a result, some of the worst fires of the season occurred
during the month of May. During the summer there were short periods of hot
dry weather, but these were almost invariably followed by enough precipitation
to relieve, in many instances, very serious conditions. The latter part of
September was extremely dry and hot, and serious fires occurred.

Of the total number of fires, settlers were responsible for 164 or 16.1 per
cent., a slight increase over previous years. Of this number, 36 were permit
fires which got beyond control.

During the season three convictions were secured for carelessness in allow-
ing fires to run, one for burning without a permit, and two for operating open
burners in connection with sawmills.

212

REPORT OF THE

No. 3

Fig. 2. — Aircraft, landing in Algonquin Park.

The number of fires known to be caused by campers was 122, or 11.9 per
cent, of the total. Special efforts were made to trace the parties responsible
for some of these fires, but it was found impossible to get sufficient evidence to
warrant court proceedings.

Railways are known to have caused 166 fires, or 16.3 per cent, of the total.
This is slightly above the total for 1921, but the general trend in the number of
railway fires is downward. Although the attention given by our locomotive
inspectors to the fire protective appliances on locomotives has been responsible
for a decrease in the number of railway fires, much credit must also be given to
the co-operation between our own field organization and that of the railway
companies.

The fires of railway origin were distributed as follows:

Lightning was reported as having started 52 fires, or 5.1 per cent, of the
total number. Of this total 29 were in the Algonquin District.

Logging operations were credited with having started 42 fires, or 4.1 per
cent, of the total, and 8 fires were due to miscellaneous causes.

A total of 1,021 fires were reported, with an area burned of 346,193 acres,
the lowest figures since 1918. Of this total, 539 fires or 52.8 per cent., were
confined to areas of 5 acres or less in extent, and 78.3 per cent, of the total to
areas of 100 acres or less. The fires which burned areas of more than 500 acres
were almost entirely in logged-over regions where the logging slash made fire
fighting almost impossible.

As is shown in the above table, the area of timber land burned over was
13.4 per cent, of the total area burned. While the per cent, of the total is about
the same as in 1921, the area was only 46,395 acres as against 99,104 acres in
1921.

Land which had been cut over, but upon which there was still some timber
standing, totalled 70,109 acres, or 20.2 per cent, of the total, and land upon which
some young growth existed totalled 87,123 acres, or 25.2 per cent, of the total,
while in 1921 these figures were respectively 190,977 acres, or 25.5 per cent, and
151,700 acres, or 20.2 per cent. The need of protection on these two classes of
land can not be too strongly emphasized, as it is to just such land that we must
look for our next timber crop.

The area of barren and grass land burned totalled 142,566 acres, while in
1921 the total was 307,753 acres.

(6) Equipment.

The amount of equipment required to outfit the ranging staff is necessarily
large. Replacements must be made each year, and additional equipment added
for use on new patrols and to increase the efficiency on old patrols.

218 REPORT OF THE No. 3

A total of 116 tents were purchased in 1922. These were the ordinary style
of tent, and used mostly where the rangers must carry their shelter from place
to place along their routes.

In a large part of the Province the only means of travel is by water, and for
this purpose fifty-three new canoes and three power boats were added to the
equipment. The boat best suited to the requirements is the lumberman's
pointer equipped with a six or twelve horse power motor. These boats are strong,
seaworthy, and will make a speed of from seven to ten miles per hour.

A large number of the chief rangers are also ex-officio officers of the Board
of Railway Commissioners. These men act as local fire inspectors over railway
lines in their districts which are under the jurisdiction of the Railway Com-
mission, on a co-operation basis, and are supplied in most cases with railway
motor cars. These cars are indispensable for inspection work, and in those
districts where the train service is infrequent, afford an excellent means of trans-
portation, not only for the chief ranger, but for fire fighting equipment as well.
Seven of these cars were purchased during the season.

Portable forest fire fighting units have proved to be the most valuable part
of our equipment. The unit consists of a small pump driven by a 5-6 horse
power gasoline motor, all mounted on a metal base, and capable of throwing a
good stream of water at the end of fifteen hundred or two thousand feet of hose.
The unit itself weighs about one hundred and twenty pounds and can be trans-
ported without difficulty, either by canoe or back-pack. An unlined one and one-
half inch linen hose is used, in one hundred foot lengths, weighing about twenty
pounds per hundred feet. These pumps have been operated continuously for as
much as fourteen hours, and have been estimated to be equal to forty men.
Sixteen units were purchased at the beginning of the season, and it is desirable
that at least as many more may be procured for next season.

In the more settled parts of the fire districts light motor trucks can be used
to good advantage, not only for inspection purposes, but for the transportation
of fire fighting equipment. Two such trucks were purchased.

For use by the rangers and emergency fire fighting, one thousand blankets
were added to the equipment.

(7) Locomotive Inspection under Board of Railway Commissioners.

No change was made in the organization of the inspection of fire, protective
appliances on railway locomotives, two inspectors devoting their whole time to
this work.

220 REPORT OF THE No. S

A total of 49 round-houses and gravel pits were visited, and 1,563 loco-
motive inspections made, covering 758 locomotives. In addition to this 9
inspections of locomotives operated by lumber companies were made, bringing
the total number of inspections up to 1,572. The above table shows that the
number of inspections has increased each year, and the percentage of locomotives
found defective has steadily decreased from 32.1 per cent, in 1918 to 4.6 per
cent, in 1922.

The average cost per inspection in 1922 was $1.61, as compared with $1.70
in 1921, $1.86 in 1920, and $2.07 in 1919.

(8) Improvements.
The improvements carried out during the season consisted of the con-
struction of cabins, store houses, lookout towers, telephone lines, the cutting of
new and the cleaning out and improving of old roads and trails. Most of the
work was done by the rangers themselves.

It is necessary each spring to clear all existing roads and trails of debris
which has accumulated during the winter months, and in a burned-over section
this is often an arduous task. It is, however, one of the first duties of the rangers
as a good rail is most necessary in transporting equipment in case of fire. Several
hundred miles of roads and trails are cleaned out each year and repaired where
necessary. Landing docks are built for boats and canoes, camping grounds
made in safe places, and signs put up directing travellers to these camp sites.
In some districts it is possible to assign rangers to permanent headquarters,
and here cabins are often built as they add to the comfort of the men and pro-
vide a safe place for the storage of equipment. Storehouses are also built
at the headquarters of the chief and deputy chief rangers for the storage of
emergency equipment during the fire season, and all field equipment during the
winter months. Where boats or motor cars are used it is necessary to build
shelters for them. There were built during 1922, 38 cabins, 3 storehouses, 1
car house, 1 boathouse, 2 oil houses for the storage of gasoline and oil, and 2
kitchens for cabins already constructed.

The construction of lookout towers was continued and seventeen wooden and
eleven steel towers erected. The wooden towers were built almost entirely by
ranger labour, and are from twenty-five to eighty feet in height. The steel
towers are eighty feet in height, of much the same type as the ordinary windmill
tower, but are surmounted by an eight foot octagonal cabin fitted with windows
on all sides. The ranger, who is stationed in the cabin during the hazardous
part of the day, has an uninterrupted view of the surrounding country, and on
clear days has little difficulty in locating smoke twenty miles away. These
towers are connected by telephone lines to the deputy or chief ranger's head-
quarters, so that fires observed may be reported immediately.

Telephone Lines. — Considerable progress was made in .the construction of
telephone lines during the season, a total of 1713^^ miles being completed. In-
cluded in this total were the following: —

Gogama to Mattagami Post in Mattagami Township 18 miles

Milnet to Frederick Lake in Stobie Township 28

Chudleigh to Upper Goose Falls on the Sturgeon River in

Sheppard Township 30

Brule Lake to lookout tower in Osier Township with branch

to lookout tower in Biggar Township. . •. 50)^

Whitney to south end Opeongo Lake in Sproule Township. 15 J^

Pakesley to lookout tower south of Key Junction 11

Apsley to lookout tower in Methuen Township 7

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 221

These lines make it possible for the rangers in the district to report fires
promptly, and to call for assistance without wasting valuable time in travelling
to the nearest point where help is available. They also enable the officer in
charge to keep informed as to the exact conditions existing in the district at any
time.

(9) Air Patrol.

Aircraft for forest fire detection were used this season for the first time.
The operation was carried on in co-operation with the Dominion Air Board and
proved highly satisfactory. A main base was established at Whitney, a station
on the Grand Trunk Railway in Algonquin Park and a sub-base at Parry Sound,
the patrols covering the Districts of Parry Sound and Muskoka, Algonquin
Park and the adjacent country. This territory lends itself admirably to the
use of sea-planes or flying boats and this type of machine was used. Patrols
were carried on from May 23rd to October 4th with a total of 613.8 flying hours.
Usually only one flight was made over the territory each day, but when con-
ditions warranted, two flights were made. Fires were reported by dropping
messages, by landing at some point where telephone or telegraph communication
was possible, or when the machine returned to its base.

The season's operations have clearly demonstrated that for similar country,
aircraft have no equal for sighting and locating forest fires. From a height of
five or six thousand feet the smoke of a camp fire can be seen for several miles,
and located within one-quarter of a mile by an experienced observer. When
bad fires occur the chief ranger is able, by flying over the area, to place his men
to greater advantage, and when a patrol is finished the officer in charge of the
district knows the exact condition of fires throughout his territory. The moral
effect on the people within the patrol area is also of great importance.

In addition to the locating of fires, the machines were used for transporting
fire fighting equipment to fires in remote areas, for mapping forest types, and for
taking photographs of particular areas.

II.— FOREST INVESTIGATION

During the past season two large forest survey projects were undertaken.

The first area covered about 13,500 square miles of the lower watersheds of
the Abitibi, Mattagami and Moose Rivers. This area, little known except
along the main waterways, was mapped from aircraft, working in conjunction
with ground parties. A detailed report is appended herewith.

Another large area of 4,000 square miles in extent forming a portion of
the upper watershed of the Missinaibie and Kapuskasing Rivers was done with
aircraft and ground parties. A detailed report of this survey is not yet available,
but the following is a classification of the forest conditions on the above survey.

Air and Ground Report of the James Bay Forest Survey made in 1922
UNDER Supervision of R. N. Johnston, Forester,

I. Area.
The James Bay survey covered the territory north of the Canadian Govern-
ment Railway (Transcontinental) from Quebec boundary westward to Moose
and Mattagami rivers and including their west banks to a depth of five miles.
The area involved was around 13,500 square miles or, 8,640,000 acres.

II. Object.
The purpose of the survey was to obtain an estimate of the forest resources,
and a map showing forest types and conditions, together with supplemental
information on physiographic features.

III. Procedure.

1. Aerial Type Mapping:

In view of (a) the inaccessible nature of the country, (b) the shortness of
the working season (less than 100 days possible) and (c) the desire to complete
the work within one season, it was planned to use aircraft to delimit timber
types and thus avoid the examination by the estimating party of waste areas
and areas of non-commercial timber. The contract for flying was awarded to
the Laurentide Air Service who established an air station at Remi Lake, 55 miles
west of Cochrane in Fauquier Township and supplied 342 flying hours between
June 2 and October 3.

The subdivision of a forest area into types by the use of aircraft, can be
carried out either (a) by the records of observations made during flight by an
observer (by a direct method), or (b) by the use of photographs which are after-
wards related and interpreted (indirect).

(a) Direct Mapping. — While the direct method as above defined may very
conceivably lead in its further developments to complex methods with a con-
siderable use of instruments, as yet it consists essentially in sketch mapping the
information required as directly observed while in flight. The requirements
for satisfactory results by this method may be discussed under two heads
(a) Machines (b) Observers and their equipment.

Machines. — The machines used in the past season and in 1921 in this work,
while of difi^erent types, including the H.S.2.L., F.3., Vickers Viking, and Loen-
ing Air Yacht have been alike in that in all of them the observer's cockpit is
placed directly in the nose or front of the machine. It is believed that this
position for observation purposes can hardly be improved on.

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 223

The correct choice of machine to use is a matter having the greatest bearing
on the cost and results of the work. The requirements as regards performance
of machines will of course vary for different classes of work and in different
localities. But, in general, rapid climb is of great advantage as tending to
conserve flying time. Also a machine capable of high speed is more indepen-
dent of wind conditions and can with equal fuel capacity operate successfully
from the same base over a much larger area than a slower type. While actually
typing, however, it is found that when flying between 2,500 and 4,000 feet —
which is a satisfactory height from which to identify tree growth — the ground
speed of the machine should not exceed 85 miles per hour. By ground speed is
meant the speed at which the machine passes over the ground; it does not
correspond with the speed shown by the air speed indicator of the machine but
is greater or less depending on the influence of the wind.

Observers. — This season there were two foresters with previous experience
both in flying and mapping, while a third was trained during the progress of
the work. Observers, to produce reliable type maps should have comfortable
working conditions in the machine, complete unconcern about the pilot and
machine, and the best base maps available.

The quality of the map produced depends most largely on the experience
and judgment of the individual observer. This should not be confined entirely
to aerial experience, but should be checked by comparing aerial observation
with ground study of forest conditions. Too much stress cannot be laid on this
phase of the observer's work, and during the past season, whenever feasible,
landings were made as a regular part of the procedure in order to allow the ob-
server to investigate any stand of peculiar appearance, or to refresh his memory
as to the actual conditions of more familiar types. It was found also in this
connection that ground studies were of more value when made by the observer
in person rather than through the study of strip tallies, descriptions, etc., how-
ever full and precise.

Base Maps. — Finally the field sheet on which the observer does his sketch-
ing should contain as much survey data as possible. This is even more necessary
in the air than in the same class of work on the ground, since it is not practicable
with the existing aerial instruments, to locate or orient the map in flight by
travelling on a known course for a known distance. Consequently the observer
is dependent for his location and judgment of distance and direction on the
detail of his base map. Experience in both ground and aerial mapping has
shown, however, that the aerial observer is in a much better position to work in
this way than the ground mapper, since he can see a greater number of refer-
ence points at one and the same time and is also (hills and valleys are not
apparent from the air) free from the difficulties arising from diff^erences in
elevations. Indeed, with a good base map, the aerial observer's work may be
compared to the copying — on a small scale — of a highly coloured carpet lying
beneath him, a great deal of the pattern of which, the base map detail, has
already been drawn.

From the above it is readily apparent that the rate at which any given
territory can be typed is intimately connected with the completeness and
accuracy of the observer's base map, since a rational representation of the
timber types is usually dependent on these base maps details, particularly where
lakes and drainage systems are involved. Actual experience has shown that
for the above reasons, that is the relations between topography and timber
types, some additions to the existing topographic data — except in surveyed
townships — are always necessary before typing of timber areas can be com-
menced.

224 REPORT OF THE No. 3

Such information can be supplied by additional sketching, though experience
has shown that this class of work can be done to better advantage from a much
greater height than that used for mapping timber, since a distinction between
land and water surfaces is possible from practically any altitude. For the
same reasons it is often possible at this higher altitude — 10,000 feet if weather
conditions are suitable — to greatly expedite subsequent closer examination
of timbered areas at lower altitudes, by splitting the territory into two or three
general types, such as green timber, muskeg, barren, all of which can be recog-
nized at the above altitudes.

Of the total flying time for the season, 342 hours, an analysis of the flight
records shows that over 90 per cent, was given to sketching forest types and
topography, the remainder being taken up with transportation of ground
parties and photography.

(b) Indirect Mapping. — While it is realized that photography can produce
results which sketch work cannot hope to replace, it was not used in the past
season as an essential part of type mapping. So far no photographic system
has been developed which could produce the information desired at a cost which
the nature of the work would justify. Undoubtedly photography will eventually
go much further in this direction than at present. But while the carrying of
timber type lines over immense areas by photography is still very expensive,
it is considered that in its present state of development it can be used to advan-
tage to give information for the construction of base maps for sketching which
would render the work more accurate and would also effect an economy in the
whole operation, since a very small saving in flying time will pay for a great
deal of photographic work.

Procedure for type mapping in the past season's work may therefore be
summarized as follows: — Type maps were prepared by an experienced forest
observer, sketching directly on base maps two miles to the inch scale. In all
13,500 square miles or 8,640,000 acres were thus mapped, requiring flights totalling
25,000 air miles. Information from these maps prepared in flight was then, on
returning to the base at Remi Lake, transferred to an office map, and from the
latter information as to timber was given to the ground parties in map form
from time to time as required. It might be well to state here as an indication
of the accuracy of this work that information as to type limits given to and
checked by the ground parties was found to be reliable except in two instances;
(1) during the first three or four flights the difference between dense stands of
scrubby dwarf spruce and merchantable stands of the same species, while recog-
nized, was not known to indicate such significant differences in the stand as
actually existed. Ground study by the observers, as mentioned above, settled
this question so that throughout the remainder of the season no trouble was
experienced in this connection, (2) there was throughout the season a tendency
to overestimate the percentage of hardwoods associated with the conifers in
the mixed type.

2. Ground Work.

After the area had been typed and mapped from the air, a copy of this
map was delivered to the ground parties, who then were in a position to locate
starting points for samples for the estimate. The strip method was adopted,
and was confined to areas bearing commercial quantities.

Fifteen men were used on the Abitibi and Mattagami rivers, one chief,
two sub-chiefs, six other forestry men, four canoe men and packers and two
cooks. The whole party with seven canoes, seventeen and eighteen foot "Chest-

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 225

nut" model, did not leave Clute on the Frederickhouse river until June 3rd,
owing to the spring flood. The party proceeded to Moose Factory, one of the
Hudson Bay Co. posts, with five weeks' supplies, slightly over a ton. Arrange-
ments were made at Cochrane to have a similar amount cached at the junction
of the Abitibi and Little Abitibi rivers within the five weeks.

Work commenced five miles north of Moose Factory and extended south up
the Moose river to the junction of the Moose and Abitibi rivers, where the party
split, eight men going up the Moose and Mattagami rivers and seven men up the
Abitibi river.

In addition to the above fifteen men on the rivers, two men were stationed
at the air base at Remi Lake to be placed by aircraft in regions lacking practicable
canoe routes. Later in the season two other men were taken from the river
party and used on this work. These parties were landed on lakes with from one
to three weeks' supplies and acted on the instructions of the aerial observers,
who decided what strips were necessary to cover the pulpwood in that particular
locality. In this way parties were placed on the following lakes; Kesagami,
Pierre, Indian Reserve No. 9 and unnamed lakes designated by the letters
F., G., J., K., L., N. on the map. For the final estimate, areas on which strips
were not run were compared by the observer with areas where samples were
taken. The aircraft was not equipped to carry a canoe which handicapped the
effectiveness of these parties. In some instances the planes while on sketching
work would land and transfer a party to another camping ground.

The strip method consisted in running a compass and chain line 11 feet
wide and measuring all commercial species 4 inches (diameter taken at breast
height) and over, in one inch diameter classes. In this region in general the
cordage runs heaviest adjacent to the water courses, the types paralleling the
shore line. This characteristic feature of the timber distribution was directly
responsible for the field procedure of the ground parties, which usually consisted
in running a single straight strip per day at right angles to the general direction
of the shore line; occasionally a shorter strip in from the water, an offset of
3^ mile and a second strip back to water was substituted for the single long
strip. It was found that where a single strip was run it was possible to tally
43/^ miles; with two strips and offset, three in and three out, or a total of six for
the day. Results of the season's work go to show, however, that 4J^ miles in a
single strip, besides allowing for a better check of the aerial type map, gives a
much better basis for an estimate, of the timber in this type of country than the
two parallel three-mile strips, whose tallies tend to give too much prominence to
the better stands close to the shore and not enough to the poorer growth on
undrained areas inland.

Two and three-man parties were used, three-man is recommended, that is
one caliperman, one compass man and a tally man. With three men, calipers
may be used and the caliperman is in a position to size up every tree. Calipers
were used every day for the first two weeks, after which dimensions were esti-
mated by eye. The caliperman checked himself once a week by taking his
calipers into the field. This gives actual calipering for 30 per cent, of the time.

Throughout the season, June 3rd to September 20th, 470 miles of strip
were run.

In addition to running strips, volume table data was collected for black
spruce generally throughout the whole area. The figures were compiled into
two general regional tables. (See tables 5, 6.). Measurements were made on
white spruce but it was found the volumes compared favourably with existing
tables and these were used.

IV. Forest Types and Conditions.

1. Relief and Drainage.

From this standpoint the characteristic feature of the whole territory is
the low monotonous relief and slow drainage, the total fall in the 175 miles from
the Canadian Government Railway track to James Bay being only 900 feet.

The most important topographic and drainage feature in the whole region
is undoubtedly the low escarpment — perhaps more pronounced in the western
part of the area — which marks the northern limit of the Clay Belt. This forma-
tion, which runs in a fairly definite northwesterly-southeasterly direction crosses
the Ontario-Quebec boundary line about forty miles north of the Canadian
Government Railway, runs north of Little Abitibi Lake, strikes the Abitibi
river in the neighbourhood of the Canyon, crosses the Mattagami about the
Long Rapids and continues westward out of the territory examined.

Elevations on the Abitibi river as shown by O. L. S. Kenny in a survey of
this river made during the current year (1922), may serve to indicate the character
of this formation and of drainage conditions in the country generally.

From Cochrane to the head of the Lobstick Rapids taken as the edge of
the escarpment, a total fall of 271 feet is recorded or five feet to the mile. The
drop over the escarpment — a distance of about 6]/2 miles from the head of the
Lobstick to the foot of the Abitibi Canyon — is 234 feet, or 36 feet to the mile.
From the foot of the Canyon to James Bay the fall is given as 406 feet in 120
miles or about 3.4 feet to the mile.

The drainage is peculiar in that the main rivers — the Mattagami and the
Abitibi — have few feeders of importance and appear to flow through the
country without any very perceptible increase in volume of water. Perhaps
the best developed river system in the region is shown by the French which
flows into the estuary of the Moose from the west not far above Moose Post,
and which with its tributaries drains about one-third of the whole area examined.

Lakes are usually small and of infrequent occurrence in the western and
northern sections of the country. South and east, however, in the territory
between Kesagami and Little Abitibi the occurrence of lakes of good size is
rather common. This condition continues eastward into Quebec.

Finally it should be noted that the whole territory, because of the difference
in slope, falls naturally into two sections, a northern and a southern.

In the former, the slope, as before noted, is only 3.4 feet to the mile and in
the latter five feet, giving a difference of 1.6 feet, which, though actually small,
is seen to be proportionately large.

2. General Forest Conditions.

The resultant difference in drainage conditions noted above is strongly
reflected in the character of the forest growth, giving two distinct timber regions

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 227

which may be designated as the Coastal Plain region to the north and the North-
ern Clay Belt region to the south. The former comprises 5.8 million acres
and the latter 2.8 million acres.

The Coastal Plain is poorly timbered from a commercial viewpoint. The
bulk of the timber standing on the area is inland and inaccessible, the largest
area being west of Kesagami Lake, with blocks scattered in that portion of the
region south and east of this lake. The commercial stands to-day are restricted
to a narrow belt up to one-half mile in width along the rivers and streams.
Practically 70 per cent, of the coastal plain area is given over to endless scrubby
stands of dwarf black spruce and various classes of muskeg.

In the northern clay belt region, however, pulpwood conditions are much
better. Not only are drainage conditions more favourable to true development,
but the region exhibits more relief inland from the rivers. In consequence, the
pulpwood supplies are not confined to the rivers but additional stands, both pure
and mixed, occur on the low ridges and knolls scattered throughout the extent
of non-commercial scrubby spruce.

The difference in character of the coastal plain and northern clay belt regions
is summed up in the fact, that the timber bearing areas in the former aggregate
only 6.8 per cent, of its acreage, while in the case of the northern clay belt they
constitute 38.8 per cent.

3. Forest Types.

The forest growth of the territory under consideration resolves itself into
a very few strongly marked types with a limited number of species. The rivers
everywhere are lined with a narrow belt of mixed evergreen and broad-leaved
trees. Beyond this belt and parallelling it, runs one of practically pure black
spruce. As one gets farther from the river, the spruce rapidly and progressively
falls off in diameter and height, the number of trees per acre increasing, with a
tendency towards growth in clumps. Finally, at a distance in general of a few
hundred yards up to one-half mile in the coastal plain, trees of commercial size
are left behind, and a scrub type is entered. Here the trees are extremely dwarfed
although very old, and eventually give way to open muskeg. In the northern
clay belt, however, the black spruce, is continued inland indefinitely, depending
on drainage, assuming a patchy character among mixed stands and scrub.

Inland, these same types are repeated around all lakes, and wherever there
is any variation in the relief.

(a) Mixed Type. — ^This type along the rivers consists of black and white
spruce, balsam, cedar, both balsam and aspen poplar and paper birch. It
varies but little in composition throughout the total length of these long water-
ways, there being a slight increase in the quantity of birch, balsam and cedar,
and a general improvement in the stands as one comes south; this was parti-
cularly noted in the poplar, although nowhere is it found free from heart rot,
after reaching seven and eight inches D.B.H.

This type is also to be found inland from the rivers in small areas, in associa-
tion with black spruce stands, generally on gentle rises in the ground and adjacent
to lakes. The occurrence of these mixed stands (and as well, stands of pure
spruce) inland, and additional to the river timber, is a feature characteristic of
the northern clay belt region; whereas they are of relatively infrequent occur-
rence in the coastal plain. This inland mixed type differs from the river type
in the absence of cedar and balsam poplar, and the poorer development especially
of white spruce; it accordingly gives a lower yield of pulpwood.

228 REPORT OF THE No. 3

On the basis of pulpwood cordage, the mixed type runs 54 per cent, black
spruce, 24 per cent, white spruce and 22 per cent, balsam, in the northern clay
belt; the corresponding figures in the coastal plain are 54, 19 and 27.

The mixed type exclusive of hardwood (broad-leaved) species produces the
heaviest cordage, averaging 10.7 cords in the coastal plain and 9.1 cords in the
northern clay belt, per acre of timbered area. It is to be recalled that in the
former, little of the inland mixed type is concerned, which yields less than the
river mixed type.

In all, 543,434 acres, or 36.6 per cent, of the total timbered area, is classified
as mixed stands containing 40 per cent, of the total pulpwood. Of the timbered
area of the coastal plain, they constitute around 22 per cent, and in the case of
the northern clay belt around 42 per cent.

(b) Black Spruce Type. — This type supplies around 60 per cent, of the
pulpwood wealth of the whole territory and occupies in round figures 942,000
acres in the total timbered area or 64 per cent, of it. As previously stated the
fringe of mixed stands along the river banks is succeeded, as one leaves the river,
by practically pure black spruce; this in turn gives way to the black spruce
scrub. In addition to such occurrence, the black spruce type is to be found
generally throughout the inland areas in the northern clay belt, in particular,
the western two-thirds of it.

Spruce stands are healthy, the only damage observed being that of wind-
throw in small plots 200 or 300 feet across. Their development is better in the
southern section. Under the stands is a thick carpet of sphagnum moss with
openings in the stand filling in with alder, especially in the northern clay belt
section.

The composition of the black spruce type on a pulpwood cordage basis is
90 per cent, black spruce and five per cent, each of white spruce and balsam in the
northern clay belt region; in the coastal plain, the percentage of both black and
white spruce increases slightly at the expense of balsam.

Black spruce stands have an average yield per acre of 7.0 cords in the
coastal plain, and 8.4 cords in the northern clay belt.

(c) Dwarf Black Spruce Type.- — ^This type is related to the excessive water
conditions, the ground being covered with several feet of sphagnum moss, which
retains the moisture and keeps the ground frozen late into the growing season.
The trees are stunted, reaching a maximum of 30 feet in height and four inches
D.B.H. at ages up to 150 years. They are mature and have no commercial
value. The type runs 1,000 or 1,200 of these dwarfs per acre gathered into a
clump-like stand. A certain amount of dwarf tamarac is present among the
prevailing black spruce scrub.

This type covers 2.4 million acres or 28 per cent, of the territory and is more
prevalent in the coastal plain region.

(d) Muskeg Type. — The separation of the muskeg type from the dwarf
black spruce was almost entirely aerial. From an aeroplane a very definite
line is evident in the scrub spruce surrounding the open muskeg. The trees are
much shorter, more distinctly in clumps and with the clumps at greater distances
from one another, so that from the air the intervening ground spaces stand out.
Consequently, an arbitrary division line between muskeg and the dwarf spruce
type was chosen, corresponding to this characteristic appearance from the air.
Study of these stands by the ground parties, gave a figure of around 400 trees,
averaging nine feet in height as a maximum growth condition for this type. Hence
the muskeg type includes the treeless areas and the open portion of the dwarf
black spruce type.

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 229

The muskeg type as defined above covers 2.4 million acres or 28 per cent, of
the whole. Percentically the proportion is much higher than in the coastal
plain where it reaches 40 per cent.

(e) Burn. — In all, around 1.9 million acres were mapped as burn, or 22
per cent, of the whole. This is made up of about 20 per cent, of the coastal
plain region and 26 per cent, of the northern clay belt. The loss has been small
in the coastal plain, since the burned areas originally were largely dwarf spruce
or muskeg. In the northern clay belt, however, fire has burned considerable
timber. The greatest damage has resulted west of Little Abitibi Lake towards
the Abitibi River. Reproduction in the northern clay belt is by poplar and
birch with spruce coming in as an understory. East and west from the Matta-
gami River along the escarpment between the two main regions, dense jack pine
reproduction is to be found.

(f) Jack Pine, — This species was found in clumps in short ridges or low
gravelly knolls in a virgin state in the belt of country intermediate between the
northern clay belt and coastal plain. Most of the mature jack pine found was
in the vicinity of New Post on the Abitibi River, where it was accompanied
by an understory of black spruce.

4. Tree Species.

Black Spruce. — This is the tree characteristic of the whole territory, occurring
in mixed and pure stands. It reaches a development up to 80 feet in height and
15 inches D.B.H. and is in general quite sound. Average conditions confine
the species to a general diameter range of five to nine inches and height of 45
to 60 feet. This species constitutes three-fourths of the total pulpwood
supply of the area.

White Spruce. — This species, while forming a small percentage in the black
spruce type, is mainly found in the mixed type on the banks of rivers and streams.
It is a less important feature in the pulpwood resources of the coastal plain than
of the southern region. About 13 per cent, of the total pulpwood is white spruce.
The tree reaches 120 feet and 30 inches D.B.H.

Balsam. — The balsam ranks third after the two spruces as a source of
pulpwood in the region. It reaches a maximum D.B.H. of 18 inches with a
height of 60 feet, the common diameters being seven to nine inches. Balsam is
severely affected with heart rot, and the estimated deduction would be one-
third of the volume.

Jack Pine. — Trees of this species were tallied up to 18 inches D.B.H. and
70 feet high. The northern limit for the species was a scrubby growth inland
from the mouth of the Onakawana River.

Tamarac. — Scattered young trees were noted throughout the whole area,
but of no commercial value. Along the smaller streams, trees were seen up to
six inches D.B.H. It occurred in pure stands of a scrubby character north of
Moose Factory, adjacent to James Bay; southward, it merged in with dwarf
black spruce.

Cedar. — Cedar occurs in the mixed type along the main rivers and streams
to James Bay. It shows only a stunted growth.

Aspen Poplar. — This is the typical hardwood (broad-leaved) species of the
region, just as the black spruce among the conifers. While occurring throughout
the whole region, it is largely confined to the better drained banks of the streams,
and is the predominating hardwood in the inland patches of the mixed type.
It grows well to a D.B.H. of 20 inches and height of 80 to 90 feet, but suffers
severely from heart rot.

230

REPORT OF THE

No. 3

Balsam Poplar. — This poplar grows close to the water, usually in clumps
along river banks, and is found extensively on the islands in the lower Moose
River, near the Bay. Like the aspen, it is much affected with heart rot.

Paper Birch. — Going north down the rivers towards James Bay, the birch
becomes reduced in numbers. It is not plentiful, except around the lakes on
Indian Reserve No. 9, where a considerable quantity was found in mixture with
conifers; here about two cords to the acre.

White Pine, Black Ash, Elm. — These species are of botanical interest only.
A few white pine were seen on an island below Little Long Rapids, Mattagami
River. Black ash was noted near Devils Rapids on Mattagami River, growing
to tree size, and below Island portage towards the Lobstick portage on the
Abitibi River, a shrubby growth of the species occurs. A few trees of white
elm, 36 inches D.B.H. were observed near Devils Rapids on the Mattagami
River.

V. Results

The total area of 13,500 square miles or 8,640,000 acres falls naturally into
two regions — a belt of low-lying very poorly drained country adjacent to James
Bay, called in this report the coastal plain, and containing 5.8 million acres, or
67.4 per cent. of the whole; with the remainder, or northern clay belt better drained
and comprising 2.8 million acres or 32.6 per cent. On the map, these two
regions are separated by a broken black line running slightly southeasterly
from the Long Rapids on the Mattagami River to the Quebec boundary.

Of the territory, slightly under 1,500,000 acres, or 17.2 per cent., support
tree growth of pulpwood size. Of this acreage 36.6 per cent, consists of mixed
stands and 63.4 per cent, of pure black spruce. Approximately 73 per cent, of
the timbered area is in the northern clay belt, with only 27 per cent, in the
coastal plain. It covers 38.8 per cent, of the area of the northern clay belt,
and only 6.8 per cent, of the coastal plain.

The remainder of the territory, around seven million acres, contains no com-
mercial pulpwood supplies. It is classified as muskeg, dwarf black spruce, burn
and water, constituting respectively, 28.4, 27.9, 21.9 and 4.6 per cent, of the
whole.

The details of the classification of the whole territory are given in table I.

The timbered area contains pulpwood supplies totalling in all a little over
12,750,000 cords, including trees four inches D.B.H. and up. Of this quantity,
a little over three million cords or 24.3 per cent, are in the coastal plain, and
9.6 million cords or 75.7 per cent, stand in the northern clay belt.

The total quantity of pulpwood consists of 9.6 million cords of black spruce.
1.6 million cords of white spruce, 1.4 million cords of balsam and less than 100,000
cords of jack pine.

It may here be repeated that the mixed type averages 10.7 cords in the
coastal plain, and 9.1 cords in the northern clay belt, per acre of the timbered
area; while the black spruce type averages 7.0 cords and 8.4 cords in the same two
regions respectively. The general average for the whole timbered area is 8.6
cords per acre.

A considerable proportion of the total standing pulpwood does not lend
itself to profitable exploitation, owing in some cases to the scattered distribution
of the stands concerned and in others on account of the location of the timber.
Such timber has been inserted in the tables under the heading of "remote areas."
In all, 2.8 million cords are so listed, or 22.2 per cent of the total pulpwood;
of the quantity, however, almost two million cords are in the coastal plain.

If the timber in "remote areas" be neglected, there still remains 9.9 million
cords, of which 11.8 per cent, is in the coastal plain and 88.2 per cent, in the
northern clay belt (here largely in the western portion). This gives a final
average of 8.5 cords per acre of the area of accessible pulpwood.

Of the total timber in the territory, 3.7 million cords or 29.2 per cent, is
tributary to the Mattagami River, three million cords or 23.5 per cent, on the
Abitibi;2.3 million cords or 18.1 per cent, on the Little Abitibi, and under 500,000
cords each to the French and the Moose (3.7 and 3.3 per cent, respectively);
leaving 2.8 million cords or 22.2 per cent, remote.

The details of the estimated pulpwood cordage embracing all trees four inches
D.B.H. and over, are given in the tables below. A cord is taken as 85 solid
cubic feet of wood.

III.— REFORESTATION.

During the past year the work of • reforestation has been marked chiefly
by the preparation for production of planting material. Two new forestry
stations have been established, one in Durham County near the village of
Orono; the other at Midhurst, five miles from Barrie. A description of these
two stations together with reports on work already being carried on, is here
appended.

PROVINCIAL FORESTRY STATIONS.

ST. WILLIAMS.

Spring sowing of seed beds commenced April 5th and continued until May
20th, a total of 382 beds being sown. On November 10th work was commenced
in connection with fall sowing. By the 9th of December, when cold weather
compelled a cessation of the work a total number of 414 beds were sown.

Small quantities of seed of the various hardwoods indigenous to Southern
Ontario were also sown, comprising water beech, American mountain ash,
hackberry, pepperidge, dogwood, cucumber tree, tulip, catalpa and sassafras.

Nursery Lines.

During the spring, 710,000 two-year old jack pine seedlings were lined out,
while 230,000 one year old Scotch pine were transferred from seed beds to nursery
lines.

A much larger number of seedlings were lined out during late summer and
autumn. Planting began on 7th of August, terminating on the 9th of November.
In addition to the regular staff employed, thirty boys, ranging from twelve to
fifteen years of age were employed on this special work until school was re-
opened. The use of planting boards was resorted to with unvarying success,
resulting in greater speed and more careful planting.

Additions to Property. — ^Although very little building was done during the
year, one important construction was completed, namely, an underground room
for storing tree seed. This building or room 16' x 22' in dimension, is com-
posed of concrete and is completely surrounded by earth to the extent of seven
feet. An even temperature the year round is thus obtained, a medium essential
to the storing of seed over a number of years. The seed itself is contained in
sealed glass bottles which in turn are labelled to indicate the species, origin,
quantity and quality of seed stored.

Roads. — An effort has been made to divide the 1,720 acres comprising the
property into workable compartments in order to facilitate the management of
the wooded areas of the plantation. The old timber roads have been cleared
of all debris, widened and otherwise improved, while one and one-half miles of
new road was built to link up these older trails, thereby increasing accessibility
and reducing fire hazard. All fire roads were kept clean by ploughing and discing.
The sixth concession road extending from the town line west to the quarter
town line was cleaned of all inflammable material and diseased and ill-formed
tree growth.

The erection of a thirty-five foot tower overlooking a large plantation pro-
vides an observation point from which records may be made of the development
of the reforested area, for a number of years to come. Moreover, situated as it
is on a prominent hill this tower is serviceable as a "look-out" in connection
with protection from fire.

To meet with increasing demands for planting material, it has been found
necessary to rent a twenty-five acre field abutting the nursery. This field
will produce approximately 6,000,000 transplants suitable for permanent plant-
ing purposes.

Silviculture. — During the late fall and winter months 140 acres of the
wooded section of the forest station was subjected to improvement cutting.

Weed trees, windfalls, standing dead timber and trees showing evidence of
fire scar, butt rot, ill-form, oppression and senility were removed and converted
into logs and cord wood, the remaining slash' being burned.

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 237

As a result of this improvement cutting only sound healthy vigorous trees
are left, while with the removal of slash, fire hazard is minimized.

Moreover, underplanting was made possible, since by the removal of all
undesirable material, a greater growing area was obtained and the resultant re-
duction of crown density permitted a greater percentage of light ingress, essential
to the successful development of the underplanting.

Protection {Disease and Insects). — The policy of eradication of members of
the family Ribes for the prevention of the infection of nursery material with white
pine blister rust was continued during the recent summer. Three men were
constantly employed on this work.

An immunity belt of over one mile in width surrounding the nursery has
been freed of host plants, up to the present there has been no evidence of infection
of nursery stock from this source.

The destructive work of the white pine weevil has also been held in check
by removing all attacked leaders in the older plantations. An interesting and
important observation relative to the work of combating this pest may be noted
that where the white pine is planted in conjunction with other conifers or along
the border, or under an older stand of hardwoods little or no evidence of white
pine weevil has been found.

REPORT OF THE

No. 3

ORONO.

As this station was acquired during the late summer of 1922, a description
of the property, its area, position and conditions may be given first. This new
nursery consists of approximately 147^ acres and is situated in Clarke Town-
ship, Durham County. The headquarters are on the outskirts of the Village of
Orono, about one-third mile from the C. N. R. station. The C. P. R. and
G. T. R. are also available in emergency, the former being three miles, the latter
five miles south. There are also excellent opportunities for securing labour and
a creek which flows to the north of the area, along the east side, penetrates the
boundary in two places. Telephone and electric light services are also available.

The area chosen is on the shore line of the glacial Lake Iroquois, with a
general southerly aspect. The soil varies greatly from a medium heavy loam n
a small portion to a pure medium sand, blowing in patches in the south. lin
general, however, the soil is a warm, sandy loam. The southerly aspect of the
property and the general porosity of the soil renders the solution of the drainage
question fairly easy.

There are approximately 100 acres of land suitable for intensive nursery
work — seed beds and transplant lines. The remainder of the area, 47^ acres,
is largely included in a valley of from 20 to 60 feet deep and from 200 to 600 feet
wide which extends from the northeast corner along the east side of the property
swinging diagonally in the southern portion to the west side. This offers a
good chance for demonstration plantations and, as stated before, since the soil
embraces practically all classes from heavy loam to blow sand and as all aspects
from north to south are available in larger or smaller areas, practically all
species may be represented.

This nursery situated in the heart of a rolling farming country, where every
farm contains a percentage of unprofitable hillside, with a wide area of light soil
to the west and with the so-called "pine ridge," largely a blow sand area, approxi-
mately six miles wide, extending through York, Ontario, Durham and North-
umberland Counties a few miles north. It is excellently placed to serve private
requirements as well as any project which may be instituted for the complete
reforestation of the ridge. The position of the nursery in a thickly populated
and prosperous district is also exceptional for the dissemination of educational
propaganda.

Owing to the fact that the property was taken over late in the season, most
of the work instituted was in the nature of soil cultivation and organization of
the property.

However, a small start was made in seed bed work and nursery lines as
follows :

Hard maple and white ash were sown in belts 120 feet long by 11 inches
wide. These belts were formed by the use of a seeding roller 35 inches long by
8 inches in diameter. A belt 11 inches wide and 10 inches in diameter formed the
centre of the roller. When rolled over the area this left a depression three-
quarter inch to 1 inch deep for the whole width of the area with a 12 inch path
between belts. In so far as the actual seeding was concerned this device un-
doubtedly proved its efficiency in speeding up the operation.

Additions to Property. — A strip of land forty rods long by four rods wide
was purchased across the valley which separated the village from the nursery
land and a road constructed. This necessitated the erection of two concrete
abutments with wings and a concrete culvert.

MIDHURST.

The property purchased for this station consists of approximately one
thousand acres of land in Vespra Township, Simcoe County, five miles from the
Town of Barrie. It covers a part of a large sand plain at one time occupied with
fine stands of red and white pine. Some of the property since then has been

stumped and cropped, but the greater part has been used for pasture farms and
wood lots. The approximate areas of the different types are as follows: —

Broken and stumped 50 acres

Broken and partially stumped 100 "

Second growth in pasture 300 "

Pine stumps and pasture 350 "

Mixed growth along creek bottoms 100 '■

Swamp 100 "

There were no buildings on the property of any great value at the time of
purchase. One six roomed bungalow was built and made ready for use for the
winter. As the property was not taken over until September of 1922, most of
the work done was of the nature of clearing up and cultivation of the soil. Owing
to the unclean condition of the land, no seed beds were sown. A few nursery
beds were put in containing 400,000 seedlings from St. Williams and twenty-five
bushels of butternuts were planted.

PROVINCIAL FOREST PLANTATIONS.

SAND BANKS.

During the past year, the work at the Sand Banks has been put on
a permanent basis. A foreman has been placed in charge and a house and
a few acres of land purchased to serve as headquarters. In addition to this, a
storehouse and workshop combined and a stable have been erected during the
summer. As the work of checking the sand dunes is not expected to show tan-
gible results until the trees planted have put on a few years' growth, and as the
sand still continues to cover up privately owned property, the government has
offered to purchase land which is thus endangered as well as that which has
already been covered up. A flat rate of fifty dollars an acre for agricultural and
forested land, and ten dollars an acre for sand covered land has been decided
upon, and up to the present most of the land owners adjacent to the banks have
sold their property at this price.

By having control of these fringes of good land and especially by insuring
permanency of the remaining clumps of mature cedar, the work for the future is
safe guarded. Also, some of the land thus acquired is suitable for nursery work,
and already a large quantity of planting material has been transferred from St.
Williams to nursery beds here, awaiting final planting on the banks.

The work of tree planting was continued during the spring. The protective
belts of willow and poplar were widened and supplemented where necessary.-
Large areas, where the drift was most severe, were planted solid with limb
material. In addition to the planting on the exposed areas, a number of small
plantations were set out in corners of good fields and in protected places.

SIMCOE COUNTY.

Simcoe is the first of the counties to take advantage of the offer of
the government to reforest waste land. The tract purchased consists
of one thousand acres of light soil in Vespra Township about eight miles from
Barrie. At one time this section of the township was covered with big pine, and
since it was cut, small areas have been farmed with varying success. The greater
part, however, remains unstumped.

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 241

Work was commenced here in April of last year. Five hundred thousand
one-year old seedlings were transferred from St. Williams and planted in nursery
beds, in preparation for perrnanent planting in succeeding years. Sixty acres of
the property were planted out permanently with Scotch pine and mixed hard-
woods. Autumn transplanting was continued with material from St. Williams,
bringing the total of seedlings in nursery beds to 1,172,300. In the work of
transplanting at the Simcoe plantation, the use of the Yale planting tool was
experimented with, on a large scale, for the first time in our work. The rapidity
with which small stock can be transplanted by this means, more than justifies
its continued use.

During the summer, the section of the property chosen for nursery compart-
ments and headquarters was improved. Buildings on the property were reno-
vated and made ready for the occupancy of a foreman who took charge in the
autumn.

TREE PLANTING.

PRIVATE PLANTING.

The distribution of trees for waste land planting and wood lot work
on privately owned lands was greater this year than previously. More
applications were received than the branch could fill and in all 311 separate
persons received trees for planting work.

DEMONSTRATION PLOTS.

In accordance with the plan outlined by the government, for the
establishing of plots to demonstrate the utilizing of non-agricultural land for
tree growing purposes, the following municipalities have purchased land
which has been planted free of cost during the year.

BuRFORD Township — Brant County.

Situated about one mile from Burford Village on the Provincial County
Highway, 5-1/20 acres planted with 3,000 Scotch pine and 2,000 red oak.

Darlington Township — Durham County.

Situated on Toll Gate Hill about two miles from Bowmanville on the
County Provincial Highway, a five acre corner lot planted with 4,000 Scotch
pine, 2,000 jack pine and 1,000 walnut.

CoLBORNE Township — Huron County.

A part of the township cemetery which is unfit for burial purposes, five
acres plante-d with 3,000 Scotch pine and 1,000 jack pine.

Sunnidale Township — Simcoe County.

Situated one and a half miles from New Lowell on the Glen Cairn Road.
The drifting sand from the adjoining fields has practically blocked one section
of the road. Eleven acres of land, a part of which was planted with 2,000 Scotch
pine, 3,000 jack pine, 1,000 willow cuttings, 1,000 poplar cuttings and a quantity
of willow limb material.

16 L.F.

242 REPORT OF THE No. 3

Beeton Village — SimcOe County.

Situated one and a half miles from the village, being a part of the reservoir
reserve. This plot not only serves as a demonstration in tree planting, but also
shows the use to which trees may be put for protecting the margins of streams
and lakes used for water supply. The areas planted are the slopes of hillsides
which drain into two streams which feed the village reservoir. Trees planted
were, 2,000 Scotch pine, 8,000 jack pine, 1,000 cedar and 2,000 spruce.

EssA Township — Simcoe County.

Situated on the road between Thornton and Essa, being a part of a large
sand area unimproved since the mature timber was removed. Ten acres planted
with 3,000 Scotch pine and 2,000 jack pine.

Norfolk County.

Situated in the Township of South Walsingham and close to the govern-
ment owned nursery at St. Williams. One hundred acres of land, a part of
which was planted with 35,000 Scotch pine.

Edwardsburgh Township — Grenville County.

Situated on the Ottawa Prescott Highway between Kemptville and Spencer-
ville. This plot was commenced about six years ago. One thousand Scotch pine
were used for completing the area and filling up fail places.

f

Cramahe Township — Northumberland County.

Situated west of Dundonald on the town line between Brighton Township.
One and a half acres of drifting sand planted with 3,000 Scotch pine and 2,000
jack pine.

Plantagenet Township — Russell County.

Situated one and a half mile from the Village of Plantagenet. Ten acres,
a part of which was planted with 6,000 Scotch pine.

REPORT OF THE

No. 3

PLANTATION INSPECTION.

Inspection of plantations was carried on this year over the greater part of
Western Ontario, embracing the following counties: Welland, Lincoln, Haldi-
mand, Simcoe, Grey, Wellington, Dufferin, Waterloo, Perth, Middlesex, Brant,
Oxford, Wentworth, York, Peel, Halton, Peterborough, Durham, Northumber-
land.

Taking into account the inspection done in previous years this means that
with the exteption of a few plantations in the northern pa^ t of Old Ontario, the
whole of the penisular part of the Province has been covered with the exception
of the counties bordering Lake Huron and Kent, Essex and Norfolk Counties.
The total area of these plantations inspected amounts to some five hundred
acres. There were 448 plantations inspected, none of those having fewer than
500 trees were visited; of these approximately 84 per cent, have been successful,
making 30 per cent, and over, as the test of success.

The trees were found to be remarkably free of disease. There were no cases
of white pine blister rust and only a very few of white pine weevil. ' An exception

to this rule is black locust, which almost everywhere is infested with borer,
though the trees are usually not killed for a long time by this insect. The
Scotch pine were invariably in a healthy condition.

• The plantations were of all ages, ranging from those planted in the spring
of this year (though only a few of these were visited) to the oldest, which were
begun as far back as 1907 and 1908. Individually, the area of these averages
from three-quarters of an acre to one acre, though many were no more than
patches a few rods square. The largest visited were from eight to ten acres in
extent. There were very few of these.

Below are given some height figures for various species ten years old, as
averaged from several of the more successful plantations.

IV.— FOREST PATHOLOGY

(Report of Dr. J. H. Faull for 1922.)

Investigations on the following topics in forest pathology were continued
or initiated during the season of 1922.

(a) Physiological diseases. {\) Needle blight of white pine. Several hundreds
of trees marked in 1918 and 1919 in connection with studies on needle blight in
the Temagami Forest Reserve were checked over. In order to determine the
effect on the annual accretion of wood, increment boring and blocks were taken
from the majority of them; the results are being collated and will be presented
in the next report. (2) Effects of late spring or early summer frosts on balsam and
spruce.

(b) ''Red branch" of balsam, pine, and arbor vitae, and ''spike branch'' of
spruce. In the Report of the Minister of Lands and Forests for the Province
of Ontario for 1920, a brief account was given of an unexplained dying of the
branches of balsam, particularly striking and abundant in some localities, and
the causes were demonstrated. Observations have been extended since to other
conifers. On the entomological side of this problem interesting data have been
contributed by Dr. F. C. Craighead of the Federal Entomological Branch,
Ottawa. A summary is included in this report.

(c) Butt and heart rots. — Special attention has been given to the pulp woods,
in part because of requests for information from several limit holders, and in
part because of the vast and almost virgin field of research offered by the pulp
woods. It has seemed particularly desirable to concentrate on balsam {Abies
balsamea) for the reason that it is extremely susceptible to disease, and it pre-
sents some of the most vital forest problems confronting us to-day in Eastern
Canada. Preliminary analyses have been rnade of the distribution of the various

246

REPORT OF THE

No. 3

types of rots, of the extent of their ravages, and the age at which the tree species
become susceptible to them. Studies on the rate of progress of deterioration are
also planned, information of essential importance in the rectifying of working
plans on a sustained yield basis, and of value in determining when a given stand
should be harvested.

Owing to the fact that the identity of the fungi responsible for many of the
heart and butt rots is unknown, intensive laboratory research has been carried
on in this subject by C. W. Fritz, M.Sc, through the co-operation of the Univer-
sity of Toronto; investigations on fifteen forms have been completed and an
account of them will shortly be published.

Fig. 6. — Type II: Butt rot of balsam.

As an extension of the work on butt and heart rots some time has been
given to the question of their relation to the dying of balsam following bud
worm attack.

(d) Rusts of balsam. — As a part of the preparation of a monograph on the
diseases of balsam, attention has been given to needle diseases. The rusts are
among the more important causes of such; they are essentially leaf parasites,
though in some cases the stems and branches may be involved. This special
group has been investigated by Dr. H. P. Bell, of Dalhousie University, Halifax,
who was associated with me in the field, and to whom a working place was granted
in the field laboratory through the courtesy of the Forest Branch. Many in-
teresting facts have been brought to light and two new species of rusts on balsam
discovered. Dr. Bell's paper on one set of these rusts has been accepted for
publication in the Botanical Gazette.

(e) Collections. (1) Fungus diseases. — Many additions have been made
to our reference collections in pathology, including contributions from corres-
pondents in various states and provinces.

(2) Flora of the forest floor. — For the sake of acquiring a better knowledge
of the forest floor, and especially its "index" plants, an annotated and represent-
ative, though not exhaustive, collection of seed plants and ferns has been
assembled by Mr. H. P. Watson from the Temagami Forest Reserve — about
450 species in all.

1. ^'Red branch'^ of balsam, pine, and arbor vitae, and "spike branch" of
spruce.

"Red branch" of balsam is of frequent occurrence. The dead, red-needled
branches located here and there throughout a balsam tree are conspicuous
objects against the dark green setting of normal living foliage, and are bound to
attract attention. Various explanations to account for them have been offered;
one of the commonest theories is that of snow pressure. But this explanation

big. 7. — Type 111: A butt rot of balsam.

lacks proof. The most frequent cause is not snow pressure, but a combination
of two factors, namely insect-gnawing of the bark (which is almost invariably
restricted to the lower surface, and is by no means a girdling) and the sub-
sequent "drying out" of the living tissues at the same level, a process that is
favoured by the action of frost, and by the inactivity of these tissues during the
fall and winter.

An examination of the branch at the base of the dead portion almost in-
variably shows a more or less extensive spot from which the bark has been re-
moved, a ragged-edged wound at once suggesting the gnawing of some small
animal. This spot is usually on the under side; it never extends more than half
way around the branch and usually much less, so that the branch is not girdled.

248 REPORT OF THE No. 3

It may extend indefinitely towards the tip of the branch, commonly for not
more than half an inch, but sometimes for several inches. Occasionally the
leader is destroyed in the same way as the branches.

The wound in itself is not sufBcient to cause the death of the branch. This
was proved by similarly removing the bark with a knife from healthy branches in
July of 1919. The wounds healed before the end of the season, and they have
shown no ill effects of their maltreatment since then. But when the wounding
takes place so late in the season that there is no time left for covering the edges
of the wounds with new tissues the result is different. Twenty-five branches
were wounded in the same manner in October, 1919. Without exception every
one of these branches died from the point of wounding outward and their foliage
was red by the following May.

The cause of the wounding in most cases is the large bark beetle Mono-
hamus scutellatus. It would also appear from experiments that the rarer
M. marmorator exhibit the same habit — a habit of these beetles not before
known; indeed, it is altogether probable that other species of Monohamus
{Monochamus) resort at times to bark-chewing.

A few instances of what appear to be snow pressure or fungus action occur
at times, but in such cases the bark remains intact. Likewise, there are instances
of removal of the bark by rubbing, or of the pulling off of low-placed twigs or
small branches in the fall or winter, followed by the death of the branches, but
they are not frequent. So, too, branches are sometimes killed by breakage
due to wind or sleet, or insect burrowing. But the prevalent cause of "red
branch" is the combination referred to above.

Now what is true of balsam is also true of white pine (Pinus strohiis), red
pine (P. resinosa), jack pine (P. banksiana), arbor vitae {Thuja occidentalis) ,
black spruce (Picea mariana) and white spruce (P. canadensis). In the case of
the spruces there is an early defoliation and naked branches appear as bushy
spikes — hence the term "spike branch." Dr. Craighead reports that at Bathurst,
N.B., about 50 per cent, of the "spruce trees standing in old logging operations
were defoliated by M. scutellatus feeding on the under side of twigs."

In proof of the statement that Monohamus is the cause of the wounding
Dr. Craighead deposited two males of M. marmorator and two females in a cage
placed over a living balsam tree six feet high on July 7th. On August 24th
much gnawing on the under side of the branches was noted, and by September
15th nearly all of the branchlets had been wounded in this way. By. the follow-
ing spring twenty-one branches had died and reddened. A similar experiment
was carried out with M. scutellatus and with like results.

2. Butt and Heart Rots.

(a) General. — A distinction is drawn between butt and heart rots. The
former are rots of any kind localized in the lower part of the trunk and the ad-
joining roots of a living tree; such rots commonly begin in the roots at the base
of the trunk and work their way upwards. The heart rots occur in the heart-
wood of the main trunk; they commonly enter by way of knots or wounds.
Fundamentally there is no difference between the two kinds. Both are caused
by fungi. Delicate fungal threads, visible only with the aid of a microscope,
except where they form sheets or strands, penetrate the wood partially digesting
it; the undigested remains constitute the "rotted" wood. Fruit bodies, usually
in the form of brackets or punks (but in a few species as mushrooms or toadstools)
eventually develop on the surface of the diseased parts, but as a rule only after

1921-22

DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS

249

the decay is well advanced or after the afifected trunk has fallen to the ground.
The fruit bodies produce large quantities of spores, microscopic in size, which are
liberated from their surfaces, and which, carried by currents of air or other agents,
serve to spread the fungus to other trees. Infection of living trees takes place
through the spores lodging and sprouting on wounds or dead branches or branch
stubs. Infection by butt rot fungi may also take place through contact between
diseased and healthy roots, or in certain species through fungus strands that
may traverse the soil.

The amount of loss due to butt and heart rot fungi is enormous; they are

Fig. 8. — Type IV: Heart rot of balsam ("hemlock rot" of balsam).

easily the most destructive agents of the forest. Mature stands will show a
destruction up to 50 per cent, or more. The butt rots as a rule do not extend
more than a few feet up from the ground, but they weaken the trees at their
bases and so facilitate windfall. Indeed, most windfalls are due to this cause,
so that in a very direct way the butt rot fungi increase the fire hazard in addition
to destroying the timber. The heart rots work throughout the merchantable
part of the trunks; they may weaken the stems at any level, so that broken
tops are frequent, and in time they spoil the entire tree for any purpose. Even
after the death of their hosts these fungi continue to be active, and so they are

250 REPORT OF THE No. 3

found in dead standing timber, fallen trunks, stumps and slash, where they per-
sist as agents of destruction and as breeding centres of infection.

Now as for control, which after all is the ultimate problem, certain facts
must be borne in mind. (1) There is not a uniformity of behaviour among the
butt and heart rot fungi — hence the various types demand individual study.
It is important to know the identity of each, where it fruits (whether on slash,
stumps, etc.), what kinds of trees it may attack, and at what ages, and how they
work and how rapidly. It is for these reasons that the fungi of the balsam, the
spruces and the pines, etc., should receive individual and detailed attention.
(2) Sufficient observations have been made to show that young stands do not
suffer from butt and heart rots. Trees will grow to merchantable size before
they are attacked, though they do fall a prey before they have attained their
maximum size. Thus if control be desired it must be considered in connection
with leasing and cutting plans. Control will follow automatically when an
adequate system of management is put into operation. The rectification of the
plans adopted can be effected from time to time as the- information indicated
above becomes available. Such plans are already being initiated by certain
limit holders in Quebec. This has come about through the necessity of doing
something if a continued supply at the present rate of consumption is to be
assured within competitive reach. The virgin timber left is ever more and more
inaccessible and is often much over mature. The harvesting and transportation
of this timber easily reaches a point at which the burden of added cost is in-
supportable. (3) To what extent slash disposal is important as a control
measure remains to be seen. Probably it would not much affect the butt rot
fungi as they can and do reproduce in connection with the stumps and roots;
but it would have a bearing on the control of the heart rot fungi. (4) Methods
of harvesting also have a bearing on the question of control. Thus a system of
harvesting that permits the leaving of defective and suppressed trees to remain
uncut would appear to favour the perpetuation of infection centres, and at the
same time threaten the vigour of the succeeding generation of trees. In nature
the strongest survive, but by such a system it is the weakest that win out.

(b) Butt and heart rots of Balsam. — So far as I know no account has yet been
published of the butt and heart rots of the balsam {Abies halsamea). Rankin
in his "Manual of Tree Diseases" (1918) briefly discusses the butt and heart
rots of the American firs in general, including the Douglas fir, but of the six
mentioned by him it is not certain that any are applicable to the balsam.

In any case our knowledge of the diseases of our balsam fir is meagre, so
that to secure information on the pathology of this tree, which is finding such an
extensive use in paper-making and to some extent as lumber, it will be necessary
to begin at the foundation and work up.

There are three important butt rots of balsam and one heart rot. A pre-
liminary description of them follows.

Type I. — This is a butt rot (the "brown butt rot" of the lumberman) found
in the heart wood of the lower part of the trunk and the larger roots. It may
extend ten to fifteen feet upwards into the trunk, but is commonly more re-
stricted. It is the prevalent type in some stands — in very mature stands almost
every tree being affected, while in other parts of the country it may be compara-
tively infrequent. This type is characterized by the heart wood being converted
into a light brownish mass due to the removal of the cellulose, which in more
advanced stages checks into more or less cubical masses, up to an inch or more
in length. On being rubbed up between the thumb and fingers these masses
readily pulverize just as does chalk or charcoal. The cracks between the masses

1921-22

DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS

251

may partly fill the indefinite delicate white sheets of the fungus. This decay
will eventually extend out almost to the bark, so that only a very thin shell of
sound wood may remain. Such a butt rot is known to occur in all of the conifers,
both in Europe and America. It has, on inconclusive grounds, been commonly
referred to a fungus botanically known as Polyporus Schweinitzii. But our
studies both in the field and in the laboratory so far have connected it with a
fungus called Polyporus balsameoiis Peck. Culture studies have borne out this
conclusion and association of the fruit bodies with the decay in the forest.

It is, of course, possible that P. Schweinitzii or even some other fungus may
at times attack balsam, causing a similar type of decay. If such findings be
established, then this type will be subdivided into Type la, lb, etc. ^^M^VK^-tj,

Types II and III. — These are also butt rots, and are probably not dis-

tinguished from one another by the casual observer. They pass under the name
of "feather rot" because of the light coloured, shredded or flaky rot that char-
acterizes the later stages. This decay does not extend as far up into the trunk
as Type I, but causes just as great a weakening of the butt. It is very abundant
in some localities.

Type II is described in my field notes as follows: The newly decayed wood
is clay colour or tawny olive, later a cinnamon buff. It is soon marked by tiny
longitudinal pockets or cavities of indefinite length arranged in close concentric
series, typically a single row in the fall wood of each annual ring. This results
in the lamination or flaking of the wood, the decayed wood readily falling into
sheets, each sheet consisting of an annual ring. The surfaces of these sheets,
as one might expect, are etched. Eventually there is a shredding of the sheets
due to the radial deepening of the longitudinal furrows. This continues until

252 REPORT OF THE No. 3

the wood is reduced to cottony shreds, with at the same time a fading of the
colour. In extreme cases the shreds may disappear to a greater or less extent,
leaving the butt hollow. One of the curious features of this decay is the frequent
occurrence of small black spots.

Type III is quite similar, but there is a tendency for radial perforations
to form quite early in the decayed wood. There is also a delamination, (but
more tardy), and an eventual shredding. With this type we have found Poria
subacida associated as a causal agent.

Type IV. — This is a heart rot confined exclusively to the main trunk and in
Quebec known as "hemlock rot" of balsam. In one case only so far have I
found it extending down to the butt. This heart rot is probably the outstanding
menace of the balsam stands of Eastern Canada at the present time. In some
stands recently cut over 65 per cent, of the timber has been rejected from this
cause, including what was left uncut because of its evident uselessness, and what
was culled from the skids. Regarding its distribution we have little information
other than what has been gathered in the course of our own investigations. It
is found in Northern Ontario, and in Western Quebec, but how extensively we
are as yet unprepared to state. It is extremely common in Middle and Eastern
Quebec. There is, as yet, no report from Gaspe, the Maritime Provinces or the
United States.

The heart wood of this rot is rather firm and of a reddish brown colour. As
seen in a cross section of the trunk its outline is marked by radial extensions of
the decay, these rays being up to half an inch in width. Sometimes instead of
rays there is a more or less indefinite large-figured mottling. The decayed wood
is typically wet and heavy. Indeed, afTected logs float very badly; they are
known to the lumbermen as "sinkers." On tracing this decay downwards it is
found to pass into the "frost patches" or watery-looking spots commonly seen
in normal balsam at the time of felling.

Infection has been found to take place through the lower dead branches or
branch stubs, and the decay appears to work very rapidly up and down in the
heart wood for long distances from these points. In addition, infection in tops
injured by the bud worm are very frequent and the decay starting there may
work down several feet. They are a frequent cause of the broken topped balsams
so common in such stands — the "chicots" of the French-Canadian lumberjack.

Type V. — There is still a form that should be mentioned and that i s a root
rot due to the "shoe string" fungus or Armillaria mellea — one of the common
and abundant toadstools. This fungus attacks the roots of trees that have
just or recently died. It forms white sheets of fungus threads immediately
under the bark and these may work up some distance under the bark of the
stem. The sap wood is whitened and softened and occasionally the heart is
affected. The fresh decayed wood and sheets of fungus threads are phospores-
cent. Whether or not this fungus is the cause of the death of such trees is not
known. In Europe it is regarded as a highly destructive parasite of certain
kinds of conifers, but in America wide differences of opinion are held.

The control of the butt and heart rots of the balsam is fundamentally based
on the age at which the host trees become susceptible to the attacks of the various
types, and the rate of deterioration subsequent to infection. Regarding the
"hemlock" rot of balsam in Quebec, Mr. W. E. Hiley, of the investigational
staff of the Forestry School of Oxford University, found that more than half
of the balsam trees over eighty years of age examined by him were affected, while
those under sixty-five years of age were almost invariably sound. If this finding
should prove to be general, a cutting cycle of sixty years would practically

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 253

avoid and eliminate this type. From our own analyses of butt-rotted balsams
made in 1922 in the Temagami Forest Reserve we have found that balsams under
sixty years of age are as a rule free from attack. But for all types many more
analyses should be made before final conclusions can be reached.

Spruce Bud Worm. — At the request of the Federal Entomological Branch
in 1921, an examination of dying balsam, primarily injured by the spruce bud
worm, was made to determine to what extend fungi were responsible for the de-
cadence of these trees. The first studies were made at Otter. It was soon dis-
covered that the absorbing roots of such trees were dead, and that in consequence
the trees were dying from inability to obtain water and nourishment from the
soil. An explanation of the death of the roots seems apparent; injury to the
foliage by the bud worm meant loss of the power to manufacture food, and the
roots, dependent on such food, are starved and die. Thus a vicious circle is
established. Mr. Hiley has also pointed out that the flow of materials in bud
worm injured trees would be greatly lessened, because of the abrupt decrease in
the size of the annual rings. That such a condition would afifect the health of
the tree is quite obvious. They, too, would in all probability the more quickly
succumb to the attacks of butt and heart rot fungi. But as many of the dying
or dead trees are free from butt and heart rot fungi, it is clear that the physio-
logical disturbances are quite sufficient to cause their death. In the case of
surviving bud worm injured trees it would be interesting to compare the ravages
of the butt and heart rot fungi in them with what takes place in uninjured trees
of the same class. Do such trees, for example, suffer more severely from the
"hemlock rot", and if so, to what extent? Casual observations indicate that
they do, but there are no data on this subject.

Indeed, from the standpoint of utilization, data should be collected relative
to the subsequent history of balsam stands attacked by the spruce bud worm.
Some trees die during the bud worm epidemic, but a large proportion survive.
Then a few years after the epidemic has passed, as clearly stated by Mr. Hiley,
"great numbers of the convalescent trees mysteriously died; and as this mortality
continued for several years the loss appears in some places to have been as great
as that which resulted from bud worm feeding."

3. Balsam Rusts.

The foliage of balsam (Abies halsamea) is subject to the parasitism of
many rust fungi. In all cases these rusts parasitize an alternate host, so that
there are two phases in their life cycles. Thus one alternates between the blue-
berry and the balsam, another between the fireweed and the balsam, a third
(comprising several species) between various ferns and the balsam, a fourth
between chickweeds and the balsam, and a fifth between willows and the balsam.
The fern rusts of the balsam cause the greatest damage, especially to seedlings
and younger trees. The others are probably of little or no economic importance
at any time. The chickweed rusts of the balsam are the cause of the often large
conspicuous crows' nests or witches' brooms common enough on the balsam in
some localities.

The willow rust of the balsam appears as small open pustules on the affected
needles. All of the others form small white or yellow cylindrical bladders on
the discoloured (usually whitened) affected needles. These bladders, or peri-
dermia, as they are called, break irregularly at their apices to discharge their
spores; the latter are capable of infecting the alternate host only.

Two new species were described and named by Dr. H. P. Bell, in 1922,
from abundant material discovered in the Temagami Forest Reserve. Both

254 REPORT OF THE No. 3

are remarkable for their habit of parasitizing the older needles of balsam. One
of them {Peridermium pycnogrande Bell) is found on needles from two to
eight years old, and this rust is associated with and is probably the cause of a
loose broom-like habit of growth of balsam branches very frequent in Temagami.
This rust also appears to pass over to the polypody fern and to be represented
there by a rust not before noted. The second new rust (P. pycnoconspicuum
Bell) was found on needles three years old. Culture experiments indicate that
this is the alternate phase of a rust on the oak fern, Hyalopsora Aspiotus
(Peck) Magn., a rust which was believed to pass over to some conifer, but which
one, if any, had not heretofore been demonstrated. The peridermia of the
first are white and associated with deeply seated spherical pycnia, those of the
second are yellow and associated with very large flat and shallow pycnia.

As a record of distribution a list of the balsam rusts found in Northern
Ontario (all in the Temagami Forest Reserve) is appended with the names of the
rusts as they are known on the various hosts.

The Occurrence and Frequency of Species of Ribes and Grossularia

IN Ontario.

Report of Dr. G. H. Duff.

All present methods for the control of the White Pine Blister Rust, in places
where it has already become established, are based upon the eradication of its
alternate hosts, the currants and gooseberries. It is of great importance,
therefore, to have an accurate knowledge of the different species of Ribes and
Grossularia occurring in any region threatened by the disease, together with
reliable information concerning their frequency and the correlation (if such
exists) between the species and their frequency on the one hand and the forest
and topographical conditions on the other. In fact, any information we acquire

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 255

concerning the oecology and biology of these plants may turn out to be useful,
if not essential, to the formulation of a proper policy in respect to this problem.
The survey, the results of which are presented here, was undertaken with
these considerations in view. The territory to be covered by the survey was
determined by the fact that if large-scale eradication measures were ever to
be adopted it would probably be along some line between the Ottawa River and
Georgian Bay, and further, that even for the purposes of local eradication, in-
formation gathered in this territory would have a wide application on account
of the variety of conditions encountered. Consequently, a beginning was made
at Petawawa and Pembroke and, travelling along the line of the Grand Trunk
Railway, the survey terminated at Parry Sound with sufficient observations on
the Islands of Georgian Bay to make it certain that these must be taken into
consideration in any wholesale eradication project. The only deviation from
the line of the railway of more than fifteen or twenty miles was an excursion into
Himsworth Township between Powassan and Lake Nipissing, undertaken on the
advice of the district forester.

Method,

The mode of procedure was roughly as follows: On account of the desir-
ability of visiting a suitable variety of localities the topographical and type maps
of the district foresters' offices at Pembroke and Parry Sound were first con-
sulted. In this way a route was planned such as would make possible the use
of various stations along the Grand Trunk Railway as headquarters from which
excursions could be made. In as far as possible the travelling was done on foot,
though canoe and motor were used when necessary to reach desirable locations.
When "on location" an intensive search for currants and gooseberries was made.
If these were found the place was marked and the neighbouring territory was
examined cursorily to see that the spot chosen was typical of the particular
topographical or forest conditions represented at that point. If this turned out
to be so a plot was measured out by tape-line usually 100 by 100 feet in size.
In many cases this size of plot proved unnecessarily large on account of the
number of currants and gooseberries found. In these cases a smaller plot
50 by 50 feet was adopted. The plot was divided into lanes ten feet wide and
these lanes were carefully traversed up and down and the plants of the various
species found counted and recorded. This plot was then considered a "station"
and was located on the map and numbered. The notes taken were.of the follow-
ing sort:

Station 63: Wolf Lake — Lot 19, Con. XH, Hunter Tp. Near portage from Mcintosh Lake.

Topography: Fairly uneven, somewhat rocky, about 30° slope towards lake.

Forest Cover: Mixed second-growth. Hardwoods.

Ground Cover: Almost entirely young maple seedlings, fairly dense.

Soil: Deep litter, raw humus and humus IJ^ inches, sandy loam beneath. Moist,

but well drained.
Ribes: Ribes glandulosum 14

R. lacustre 8

Grossularia cynosbati 2

Dimensions: 50 x 50 feet.

In all ninety-four such plots were established, embracing every topographical
and forest type encountered.

The counting of gooseberry plants presents no difficulties on account of
their more or less solitary habit. Nearly all the currants, however, and especially
the skunk currant {Ribes glandulosum) propagate vegetatively and frequently
form dense masses in which it is impossible to distinguish individual plants.

256

REPORT OF THE

No. 3

For the purpose of enumerating these species where they occur densely an arbi-
trary unit was evolved, based upon the maximum area of ground which can be
freed from stem and foliage in a single up-rooting operation. This was fixed
at about four square feet, and is, as these plants grow in that territory, a liberal
allowance. 1^

THE ENOINEERINQ SOCIETY.

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 257

If search at any point failed to reveal the presence of currants or goose-
berries, it was extended, many times for hours, until it was certain that these
plants did not occur. The location was then given a station number, the usual
notes taken and "no ribes" recorded.

Frequently in the eastern end of the territory the blister rust was found
on currants. These cases were recorded and their locations and other details
are presented elsewhere in this report. In each case the occurrence of the rust
was given some attention and neighbouring pine trees were examined, but no
pretence is made of having given this aspect of the problem exhaustive treat-
ment.

Results.

1. Species occurrence. — -The following species occur:

Ribes glandulosum (skunk currant),
" triste (swamp red currant),
" lacustre (swamp black currant),
" hudsonianum (Hudson Bay currant),
" americanum (wild black currant),
Grossularia cynosha'i (prickly gooseberry),

" oxyacanthoides (smooth gooseberry),

" hirtella

" rotundifolia

2. Siiscept bility. — It is significant that all the species occurring in this
territory are among the most susceptible to attack by the rust. According
to an analysis by Spaulding (U. S. D. A. Bulletin 957) of inoculation experiments
with these plants both in the greenhouse and out of doors, all except the Hudson
Bay currant fall easy victims to the rust. There are no data on the susceptibility
of this latter species. Though there is but little to choose between the others,
the wild black currant is apparently the most susceptible, and the various
species may be arranged in the following order on the basis of their susceptibilty :

1. Wild black currant, 6. Prickly gooseberry,

2. Swamp red currant, 7. Skunk currant,

3. Swamp black currant, 8. Smooth gooseberry,

4. Grossularia hirtella, 9. Hudson Bay currant.

5. Grossularia rotundifolia.

3. Distribution. — Of the five species of currants, the skunk currant is
overwhelmingly preponderant. All of them except the wild black currant are
swamp forms. Nevertheless the skunk currant exhibits a remarkable versatility
and was found in every type of locality, dry and moist, except under virgin
white pine (on the Opeogo River) and in sphagnum bogs. The ground cover in
a virgin pine forest is usually almost entirely wanting and in sphagnum bogs is
composed exclusively of a very definite flora consisting of the moss, certain
Ericaceae, pitcher plants, orchids, etc., so that the absence of the skunk currant
here is not noteworthy. Four extensive bogs were examineed to see if it could
be found in this habitat, and though the plants occur around the edges in mucky
soil or even in the clefts of rocks among ferns, they were never seen in the bog
proper. It is hardly an exaggeration to say that in this territory the skunk
currant is universally distributed.

All the other species of currants are of secondary importance from the point
of view of distribution. In only three cases were other currants found growing

17 L.F".

258

REPORT OF THE

No. 3

in places where the skunk currant was absent. Consequently from the point
of view of the distribution of wild currants in the territory, the skunk currant
is the limiting factor.

Of the gooseberries, the prickly gooseberry (Grossularia cynosbati) is the
commonest and most widely distributed. This species also is cosmopolitan,
having been found in all the habitats possible except sphagnum bog and swamp.
In this case too, it is found practically wherever other gooseberries occur, very
few exceptions to this rule having been noted. The smooth gooseberry G.
oxyacanthoides) ranks next in distribution followed by G. hirtella (very
similar to the smooth gooseberry) and G. rotundifolia. Nevertheless, here,
as with the currants, one common and widely distributed species determines
the distribution of the whole group.

of times currants were encountered in various habitats and forest types.

Chart No. I is based upon the figures of the table. For the purposes of the
chart, however, no account is taken of the numbers in which the currants occur,
but it shows the percentage of the various types that contain currants, whether
few, moderate or numerous.

From this chart it will be seen that the types fall into three groups on the
basis of the percentage of cases in which currants occur:

1. Bog, white pine, barrens — small percentage or none.

2. Hardwoods, other conifers, poplar-birch — between 50 and 60%

3. Mixed and swamp— 80 to 100%.

The figures of the table show, moreover, that where currants do occur,
they frequently are present in large numbers, running up to several hundreds
per acre.

Table H shows the number of times gooseberries were encountered in these
same topographical and forest types, and Chart H is derived from this table in
a manner similar to the way in which Chart I was derived.

It will be seen that gooseberries are somewhat more uniformly distributed
among the various types than currants. A comparison between Charts I and II
shows that the percentages are practically equal in barrens, while the group con-
sisting of hardwoods, conifers and poplar-birch is very uniform in both cases.
For the rest, gooseberries are frequent where currants are infrequent and vice
versa. Table II shows that gooseberries are not "numerous" as often as currants.
This is chiefly because the unit in the case of gooseberries, is, on the whole, larger
than that of currants. While the unit for currants was taken to be about four
square feet of ground many gooseberry bushes grow to a size four times this.

Chart III shows graphically the percentages of the various types containing
either currants or gooseberries. From it may be seen that apart from bog,
swamp, mixed and barrens, all the types gather about 50 per cent. Of the
irregular types swamp and mixed are as high as bog and barrens are low.

It may be concluded that there is an even chance that some species of
currants or gooseberries will be found at any arbitrarily selected spot in the
territory. Almost every foot of ground in this region is a potential bearer of
one of the hosts of the blister rust.

The actual number of plants found per unit area in the various types is, of
course, widely variable. The two species which chiefly determine the number
of currants or gooseberries found in any given area are the ones that also delimit
their distribution, namely the skunk currant, Ribes glandulosum and prickly
gooseberry, Grossularia cynoshati.

The former species occurred in 69 per cent, of the stations established and
in 29 per cent, was growing in great numbers, not often less than 50 and frequently
over ICO plants per 10,000 square feet. In terms of acres this would mean from
200 to 500 plants. It is to be remembered in this connection that these represent
maximum figures and that in 31 per cent, of the stations the skunk currant was
absent entirely.

The other currants rarely exceed the skunk currant where they occur
together. An exception to this might be made in the case of the swamp black
currant (Ribes lacustre), which in a few instances was found to outnumber
the skunk currant. In two such stations in Algonquin Park the currants were
distributed as follows: —

Ribes lacustre 56 55

R. triste 20 15

R. glandulosum 11 46

The prickly gooseberry was found in 46 per cent, of the stations. The fact
that it does not occur in swampy locations where there is a 100 per cent, occur-
rence of the skunk currant accounts in large part for this lower figure. In only

260

REPORT OF THE

No. 3

9 per cent, of the stations were these plants really numerous. The highest
record for this species was at a station at Rainy Lake, where no less than fifty-
four plants were counted in an area 50 by 50 feet. This is very unusual, how-
ever, and is to be explained by the fact that though in fairly deep shade, the
mature bushes were fruiting heavily and the ground was dotted with young
plants as a consequence.

Practically never do the other gooseberries outnumber the prickly goose-

berry where they occur together. One station at Seguin Falls showed twenty-
three smooth gooseberry plants (G. oxyacanthoides) to eight prickly goose-
berries, and this is the only one recorded of which this is so. This is also by far
the largest figure for any gooseberry other than the prickly form.

The following table (Table III) shows maximum and average figures for
the prickly gooseberry, skunk currant and total currants and gooseberries from
stations arbitrarily selected. In each case the figures have been expressed as
numbers of plants per acre. The minimum figure for each is 0.

Table III.

Max. Average.

Prickly gooseberry 544 61

Skunk currant 800 130

Total currants and gooseberries 1,600 180

Although such figures cannot be given any broad application or exact inter-
pretation, they convey, in a general way, an idea of the numbers in which these
plants may be found.

Incidental Observations. — (1) The occurrence of Ribes glandulosum
completely hidden under a dense ground cover of young maple was noted in one
place, and in another this species was found similarly growing under brambles.
(2) The survival of gooseberries in burned over country was noted several
times. This takes place chiefly where large rocks occur. The gooseberries
become established in the crevices of the rocks, as well as close beside them and
in this way are protected from ground fires. They are able to fruit abundantly
in the light after the trees above have been removed by the fire and very soon
seed dissemination takes place. Burning over certainly does not rid the country
of these plants, in fact, by making possible the production of seed, the reverse
is accomplished. (3) At several points in the eastern portion of the territcry
the blister rust was found in several species of currants and gooseberries. The
species found infected were: Grossularia cynosbati, G. oxyacanthoides, Ribes
glandulosum, R. tris e.

The infections in the case of G. cynosbati were several times very heavy
indeed. All the other species, however, were only slightly affected. The places
at which these observations of the rust took place were:

1. Lot 16, Con. VI, Petawawa Township.

2. On the outskirts of Pembroke, across from General Hospital.

3. Lot 20, Con. VIII, Alice Township.

4. Lot I, Con. XIV, Wilberforce Township.

5. B. N. 190, Sherwood Township.

6. B. S. 185, Sherwood Township.

7. Lots 14-15, Con. IV, Sherwood Township.

Conclusions. — The first thing to do in going about the eradication of
currants and gooseberries is to locate the plants. It is not sufficient that some
of them or even most of them should be located, all of them must be found.

To do this in an extensive territory would be greatly simplified if it could
be shown that certain topographical and forest types are devoid of currants and
gooseberries and consequently do not require inspection. The reverse has been
the result of this survey. The distribution of currants and gooseberries has been
shown to include every type except the sphagnum bog. In all but one of these
types their occurrence is in from 50 to 100 per cent, of the possible total. • Con-
sequently, no territory, however small, may safely be left uninspected.

262

REPORT OF THE

The difficulty of inspection is increased when it is remembered that currants
are sometimes found in most inconspicuous and unexpected places, such as
beneath dense young maple seedlings or brambles and on rocky ledges among
ferns. In such habitats it is an extremely difficult matter to find them.

Even if all currants and gooseberries are satisfactorily found, however, it
next remains to uproot them. This must be done in such a way as to free the
soil as completely as possible of their roots. If portions of root are left, especially

near the surface exposed to light, sprouts are sure to arise. The power of vegeta-
tive propagation is possessed by all currants and gooseberries, but the swamp
forms are notorious in this respect. The skunk currant, the swamp red currant
and the swamp black currant reproduce in this way much more regularly than
by means of seeds.

The difficulty of uprooting is greatly enhanced where the plants grow
among dense young maple seedlings or brambles. In such cases the whole ground
cover must be completely uprooted and destroyed in order to make sure of the
currants.

Finally, the difficulty and expense of eradication increases the larger the
number of plants that must be handled. The survey reveals astonishingly
large numbers in many places. This consideration alone would make it doubt-
ful whether any large-scale eradication enterprise could be undertaken success-
fully except at a prohibitive expenditure. When all the factors are taken into
consideration this conclusion would seem to be amply confirmed.

274 REPORT OF THE No. 3

Appendix No. 52.
Dr. Judson Clark's Report,.

Toronto, August 12th, 1922.

Hon. E. C. Drury, Premier of Ontario,
Parliament Buildings, Toronto.

Dear Sir, — Complying with your request, I beg to submit what in my judg-
ment might be done to better the adminstration of the pubHc forest lands of the
Province of Ontario:

I. — Departmental Reorganization.

I am convinced that the outstanding need of the present, and for much
time that is past, is the placing of the administration of the provincial forests
in the hands of a competent forest engineer under the Minister of Lands and
Forests.

The man for the position must be a forest engineer of thorough training
in his profession, of proven capacity as an executive, and wide business experience
and outlook. The logical position for such a man in the Department of Lands
and Forests should be that of Commissioner of Forests; though of much greater
importance than the name of the position would be an entire freedom, under the
responsible Minister, to develop the department along business lines so that the
provincial forests may increasingly be a greater provincial asset and an ever
increasing source of provincial revenue.

No words of mine are needed to emphasize the vast interests involved or
the vast opportunity for service afforded in this matter. I might, however,
be pardoned for adding a personal conviction that this position affords the greatest
opportunity for a constructive work open to the members of the forest engineer-
ing profession on this continent, and your Government should be able and willing
to command the services of the best available man. Were I looking for such a
man for a similar position in my own business, I would not hesitate to pick Mr.
E. T. Allen, of Portland, Oregon, as the man who would best work out the problem.
I am sure that the professional opportunity for a great public service would
appeal to him strongly. Whether he could make the financial sacrifice involved
in giving up his present work, I am not so sure.

The present Department of Lands and Forests, as the name indicates, calls
for two distinct, though closely related, departments of public service. The
present volume of detail work coming to the desk of the Deputy Minister of
Lands and Forests makes it entirely impossible, even with much overtime work,
to find the necessary leisure for study of the larger problems of policy and ad-
ministration. It is even impossible for the Deputy to have that personal con-
tact with the workings of his department inside and out, which is so necessary
if progress is to be made. The present enormous volume and prospective growth
of departmental work in caring for the public forests and public lands amply
justify the division of this great department into two separate departments,
which might be termed the Department of Forests and the Department of Lands,
both remaining as now under the responsible care of the Minister of Forests and
Lands.

In organizing a Department of Forests for the care of the public forest
lands, it would be logical and in the highest degree desirable that all forest

1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 275

interests should be included under the one administrative head. For example,,
the administrative care of the provincial parks and of all minor forest products,
such as game and fisheries, would naturally find its place in this Department.

Having created a separate Department of Forests, and appointed a Com-
missioner of Forests, who from a business standpoint will always mean the
business manager of the public forests, this business manager must be required
and permitted to manage the public forest business. That is to say, the public
which deals with the department must quickly learn that he is the real executive
officer, to carry out the policies, laws and regulations of the Department as en-
acted by the Legislature or ordered by the responsible Minister.

It is high time that all the public having business with this great depart-
ment should understand th^t hard luck stories of sick wives and children, per-
sonal losses and interesting angles of local political situations and such, have
absolutely no place as a part of a business transaction having to do with the care
of the public forest lands or the sale of the public forest products. For many
years the harassing of the Minister and his secretary with personal and other
appeals in the settlement of simple business matters, fully covered by law and
departmental regulations, has wasted a vast deal of exceedingly valuable time,
and greatly hindered the regular functioning of the Department.

IL — Sundry Other Matters.

Should the Department be reorganized along the lines suggested, it may
safely be left to the forestry staff, in conjunction with the responsible Minister to
work out the further reorganization in the office and in the field. I shall, how-
ever, as you request, comment on some of those problems which my previous
connection with the Department and long acquantance with its work have con-
vinced me need special attention at this time. In this I have been greatly
helped by the information made available to the public by the Timber Com-
mission who have so long and carefully examined into the affairs of the Depart-
ment, and by the courtesy of the department officials who have assisted my
inquiry in every way possible.

(1) Re Measuring Wood.

The modern diversity of wood products has long since antiquated the
measurement of the main forest product — wood — by the Doyle rule, the Scribner
rule, Clark's international rule or any other product rule. The forest adminis-
tration of the Province sells wood, and it should not in the measurement of that
wood concern its mind with what the purchaser may do with it after he has
bought it and paid for it. The Province should sell its customers just so much
wood; so many cubic feet of wood; and let the buyer saw it into "feet board
measure" with a good or bad saw or a good or bad sawyer (getting, of course,
from the same sized logs various quantities of "feet board measure") ; or let him
pulp it, or burn it for fuel. Why, indeed, should the forest administration be
concerned if a customer should convert the wood, which is sold and paid for,
into sugar and eat it, or distil it for moonshine and drink it?

The ridiculous side of using a product unit instead of a volume unit in mea-
suring wood has not been generally appreciated. This is no doubt due to the
fact that we can in time become accustomed to almost anything (we have used
the present product unit for over forty years), and perhaps more especially to the
circumstance that the evils of a product unit were of gradual development as
the methods of manufacture and the uses of wood gradually changed. Should

276 REPORT OF THE No. 3

a gasoline merchant decide to measure his gasoline on the basis of the mileage
that he thought his customers ought to get in their various cars, or the number
of pairs of gloves that they ought to be able to clean with the gasoline, his troubles
would be well begun.

The troubles of the Province with its habit of measuring the wood it sells by
a product {hoard feet) unit instead of a volume {cubic foot) unit, have long
since been well begun, and have bred much undeserved loss and unearned gain,
also endless suspicion and controversy.

There can, of course, be no question that the cubic measurement of wood is
the ideal measurement. It is also clear that it is entirely practicable. It is,
indeed, much the simplest means of measurement for future sales. Happily,
it is already being used by the Department of Lands and Forests in a large way
in the scaling of pulpwood and the cullers are, therefore, already familiar in a
practical way with measuring wood according to its cubic contents. Its adoption
for all wood measurements would quickly dispel the absurd belief held by many
citizens that the lumbermen are a class of semi-professional robbers and that
they are even aided and abetted by the Department itself. This absurb and
exceedingly vicious impression has been the result of the using of a product unit
instead of a volume unit in the measurement of its logs, plus the said circum-
stance that the Doyle rule, which has been the official rule in Ontario since
October 18th, 1879, is the very worst of its class in that it is less and less a true
measure of value as the logs grow smaller. And the average logs coming to
the mills of the Province are apparently forever growing smaller, paradoxical
as that may sound.

On the other hand, the Doyle rule has been the official rule of the Province
for many, years, during which period many timber limits have been sold. And
it must be clearly kept in mind that when bids were made for these timber limits
at public auction or by sealed tender they were based on the scale the Doyle
rule would give under the conditions then obtaining. It is, therefore, of course,
obvious that any change in the manner of measurement must have regard to
the equities thus established. It should also be appreciated by the public that
in maintaining these equities the lumberman is getting nothing but his own, and
the Province is being paid the full value of the timber sold as determined at the
time of sale by public competition.

If then the equities as between buyer and seller were correctly adjusted at
the time of sale, why suggest a change to cubic measurement? The answer
has already been given. The Doyle rule, by virtue of its unscientific construc-
tion, is less and less a true measure of volume in logs as it is applied to the smaller
and ever smaller logs that are being cut.

It is, of course, in the best interests of the forests, of the settlers, and of all
concerned that the Department should have a clear legal mandate to sell such
small parcels at prices adjudged fair by the responsible officers of the Depart-
ment without public competition, which in such small matters would be quite
impracticable; such authority should, of course, be properly safeguarded as to
the amount so sold, and the time and matter of removal.

(7) Notice of New Operations.

A point that has been overlooked in the administration of the forests has
been a failure to require operators to notify the Department before a logging
operation is begun. This is desirable from every point of view, and is especially
necessary from the standpoint of the fire hazard, and for the proper supervision
of the logging operations and the scaling of the log output. Wide publicity
should immediately be given of an order making such notice mandatory and
immediately effective.

(8) Fire Protection.

Fire prevention, and the early detection of such fires as do occur, together
with efficient fire fighting, form the very foundation of all forest, management.

Much progress has been made in recent years by the Department of Lands
and Forests in all these matters. Prevention of fires set by locomotives will
illustrate the progress made in one detail as a result of persistent and intelligent
work :

The disposal of the debris incident to logging operations promises to be one
of the largest problems to be solved by the coming forest administration. It is
my conviction that at best fire prevention and fire fighting will, from time to
time — as the seasons vary — be a losing battle so long as the brush is left to litter
the ground where the future forest must be grown. For the present I am con-
fident that a requirement that all brush lying within specified distances of all
buildings, machinery, tote roads, railroads and other points of frequent human
contact be piled and burned, is immediately justified. Such cleaning up is
obviously as much in the interest of the operator as it is in the interest of the
Province. I understand that a start has already been made in this matter by
the Fire Ranging Department. It should be made obligatory on all operators.

(9) Re Records.

It appears to me that the testimony of Mr. Grigg, the former Deputy
Minister, before the Timber Commission, gives a decidedly wrong impression
as to the efficiency of the bookkeeping in the Department of Lands and Forests.
I am confident that an investigtion by competent parties will show that while

282 REPORT OF THE No. 3

it may not have been as thoroughly modern in its form as it might have been,
it has always been done with scrupulous care. During the past year the system
has been much improved by the introduction of more modern methods. Mr.
Grigg's testimony in this connection to the effect that with proper reorganization
the Department might become "a handsome money-maker," might, I fear, con-
vey the impression that the bookkeeping methods were such as to cause the
Province a monetary loss. While this implication might not have been intended,
it may be reassuring to some people to know that not a penny of the Province's
money has been lost in this way. A careful checking of the system now in use
leaves me with but a single suggestion, namely, that the Audit Department
should widen its sphere of activity to include an annual audit of the departmental
records.

Exception has been taken to the failure of the Department to promptly
collect all accounts immediately when due. I am not in a position to say whether
there has or has not been undue leniency on the part of the Department regard-
ing overdue accounts, but every business man must appreciate that there are
many times when a creditor's best interest is served by reasonable leniency in
regard to the collection of secured debts. And I can easily imagine that there
have been times during the past few years of severe business depression, when
the public interest could have been very badly served by the Department seiz-
ing and selling the lumber of the delinquent companies, which, of course, they
have a perfect legal right to do. This could only have the effect of making a
bad situation very much worse. In extending reasonable leniency in the case
of secured overdue accounts, the Department is simply following the best busi-
ness practice.

The Timber Commission has pointed out that the rate of interest charged
on overdue accounts, namely, six per cent, simple interest, is unfair to the Prov-
ince, and in effect makes the Province to some extent a banker to the lumber-
man. This point is well taken. I would suggest that the interest rate be made
to conform to current banking usage, both as regards rate and the compound-
ing of accumulated interest, plus perhaps an additional one per cent, in the rate.

(10) Forest Reserves.

Several large areas of provincial forest lands have been set apart as Forest
Reserves. The statute provides that timber may not be cut on those reserves
areas except when mature or when killed by fire. I submit that this leaves them
on a par with all other forest lands, except that such reserved lands may not be
cut over for the purpose of opening up for agricultural settlement.

It will be the duty of the forest administration to prevent the cutting of
timber on non-agricultural lands, except as and when it is silviculturally mature
or has accidentally been killed by fire, just as it will be their duty to see that all
silviculturally mature timber is sold and cut from time to time as the best
interests of the forest and the markets for wood products require.

Respectfully submitted,

Yours very truly,

Here is the crux of the whole problem of wood measurement. One thousand
feet board measure scaled by the Doyle rule has long been the unit of measure-
ment by which all logs sold have been paid for. Had this been a stable unit
(i.e., remaining essentially the same in practical effect from year to year) even
though entirely unscientific, there would be no good reason for change. It,
however, is not a stable unit — far from it, and for two fundamental reasons:

(a) The logs now cut on Crown Lands average much smaller than form-
erly, and the tendency is still downward.

(b) The Doyle rule underscales all logs below thirty inches in diameter,
and as the diameters decrease, the Doyle rule becomes an increas-
ingly unfair measure. When applied to logs of twelve inches in
diameter or under it becomes a joke.

The decreasing size of the average log cut on all operated timber limits is a
matter of record in vaults of the Department of Lands and Forests.

The practical effect of this decrease in size when the Doyle rule is the measure
is strikingly shown by the table above. For example, if the average log is 17
inches in diameter, 167 feet are the equivalent of 1,000 Doyle scale. If the aver-
age log be 10 inches in diameter, 293 cubic feet are required to scale 1,000 Doyle
rule. If the average log were but 7 inches, no less than 621 cubic feet would be
required to yield 1,000 by Doyle.

This is the demonstration that the Doyle rule — by virtue of its unfair scale
of small logs and its ever increasing unfairness as the logs become smaller, to-
gether with the established fact that our logs are smaller from year to year —
profoundly disturbs the equities established between the lumbermen and the
Province at the time the timber was sold.

Fortunately the full and complete records of the scaling from year to year
on all timber limits, available in the files of the Department of Lands and Forests,
afford the means of readily determining the correct converting factor for trans-

278 REPORT OF THE No. 3

lating the Doyle scale into its cubic volume equivalent, which will preserve
undisturbed the equities established by the sales contracts, for there can surely
be no truer index as to what the purchaser had in mind to buy when he made his
bid than what he actually cut after the bid was accepted.

For greater clearness, let us assume the case of a timber sale in 1906 at
$12.00 per 1,000 Doyle scale, (the $12.00 covering both Crown dues and bonus).
Here the lumberman bids $12.00 for the amount of logs that will scale 1,000
feet, board measure, by the Doyle rule. By reference to the records of the timber
cut on that limit during 1907 it will quickly be found just how many cubic feet
of logs were required to yield the 1,000 feet, board measure, Doyle rule, he was
paying for. If a more conservative basis were desired, the converting factor
might be based on the cut of the two seasons following the timber sale, thus in
case of the sale in 1906, used as an illustration, the converting factor might be
based on the returns on the timber cut on the limit during the two following
logging seasons of 1907 and 1908. If the average log cut on this limit during
the two years following the sale should prove to be thirteen inches in diameter
it would take 211 cubic feet of logs to give the lumberman his 1,000 feet as
scaled by Doyle. Thus we find an exact parity between $12.00 per 1,000 feet
as scaled by Doyle rule, and $12.00 for 211 cubic feet as measured by actual
volume, and during the years 1907 and 1908 the amount of money paid the
Province by the operator on this limit would have been the same whether paid
on the basis of $12.00 per 1,000 feet, Doyle rule, or $12.00 for each 211 cubic
feet, or in other words, $5.69 per hundred cubic feet. And if in all subsequent
years the lumberman operating on this limit had paid his Crown dues on a basis
of $5.69 per hundred cubic feet, he and the Province would each be rightfully
receiving what they were entitled to under the contract entered into at the
time this timber was sold.

From this example it will be clear that a converting factor that gives equit-
able adjustment as between buyer and seller may quickly be worked out for
every scale that has been made since the Doyle rule was adopted in 1879, and
once determined, this converting factor is valid as long as the contract obtains

For timber limits disposed of before 1879 it would be equitable to accept the
then relation between Doyle rule and its cubic volume equivalent as determined
by the cubic volume and scale of the average log cut during, let us say, the
five-year period following the adoption of the Doyle rule, namely; 1880 to 1884.

In its practical application to those old timber limits, a change from the
Doyle rule scale to a cubic volume scale as suggested above will increase the
amount of Crown dues paid into the Provincial Treasury. It is evident, however,
that it is equitable that an owner of these old timber limits should not receive
more cubic feet of wood for his unit of Crown dues than he did in 1880 to 1884.
A change to cubic volume measurement with an adjustment by a converting
factor (obtained as outlined) merely makes a correction for the fact that the
Doyle rule requires so much more cubic volume of wood to scale one thousand
feet board measure with our present small logs than it did with the larger logs,
1880-1884. In other words, under this adjustment the limit owner would again
be receiving the identical volume of wood per unit of Crown dues which he re-
ceived in the early eighties. The practical effect on the amount paid for logs
cut from areas recently sold will be slight; in some cases possible nil. In any
event, any change obtaining will be, as has been shown, equally fair to buyer
and seller.

(2) Re Checking Cullers' Scaling.

The Timber Commission made a timely reference to the desirabiHty of all
cullers being employees of the Department, and of the necessity of properly
checking their work in the woods, and particularly pointing out the importance
of marking all skidways so that the check scalers would have every opportunity
to make a real check of the work of the cullers in determining the amount of
wood cut on which Crown dues are payable.

These recommendations are obviously entirely sound, and I am very pleased
to find that the matter of establishing a checking of the scale oh all operations,
and the closely related and very necessary detail of marking each skidway, has
already been adopted by the Department of Lands and Forests, and has been in
effect during the past year. I would suggest as an additional aid to the check
scaler, that the number of logs reduced for defect be noted for each skidway on
the culler's report.

The discounting logs for defect is undoubtedly a procedure in which there
now obtains a great diversity in judgment and method, with corresponding
differences in the scale returned. An occasional — perhaps an annual — cullers'
conference at a convenient milling point, which would provide facilities for prac-
tical demonstrations, would be most helpful in promoting accuracy and, there-
fore, uniformity in scaling methods and results. The discussions and exchanging
of ideas on such an occasion would also greatly contribute to the same result.

(3) Re Shanty Books.

In time it may be found that the check-scaling of the culler's work which
now obtains on all limits, is a sufficient check on the accuracy of the cullers,
returns on which the provincial forest revenue is computed. Until that is
demonstrated, however, the "Shanty Book" record should be retained and made
more effective than it has been in the past. To this end I am glad to pass on
the suggestion of the provincial forester that all shanty books be serially numbered
so that they may be all readily accounted for at the end of the season. Also,
they should be paged so as to prevent the possibility of removal of pages con-
taining original records. The desirability of the record being made daily, and
the affidavit being taken as provided by statute and Departmental Regulations
has been forcefully pointed out by the Timber Commission.

(4) Re Measurement of Pulpwood.

Already a considerable proportion of the pulpwood of the Province is being
measured by cubic volume because of the greater convenience to all parties of
this method of measurement.

The determination of a converting factor which will accurately express the
wood volume relation between the cubic foot unit and the standard cord of
stacked wood measuring eight feet long by four feet wide by four feet high, and
containing 128 cubic feet of wood, bark and air spaces, is, of course, a simple
matter, and can probably be obtained from measurements already in the De-
partment. The writer made a number of careful measurements with different
sizes of pulpwood in Northern Ontario some years ago, but has not now the results
at hand. The study, however, indicated that a correct converting factor for
different sizes of pulpwood rang'^d from about eighty-five to ninety-eight cubic
feet per cord; a converting factor of 100 cubic feet per cord would be a conserva-

280 ■_ REPORT OF THE No. 3

tive and a very convenient converting factor. The 115-cubic-foot converting
factor now in use is from 15 per cent, to 25 per cent, above actual wood volume.

(5) Re Method of Selling Timber.

Prior to 1906 sales of timber limits were conducted on the basis of inviting
bids for a lump sum, known as a "bonus" which was to be paid in cash at the
time of the sale, this bonus being the sum which the purchaser was willing to pay
over and above the regular Crown dues, which in all cases are paid as the timber
is cut.

Since 1906, the bids have been invited on a per 1,000 foot basis; the amount
bid to be paid together with the Crown dues as and when the timber is cut.
The payment of the entire purchase price as and when the timber is cut has
many advantages over the former system. Perhaps the greatest advantage is
the better prices which are realized under this plan of sale. The fact that higher
prices may be realized, is due, in part, to the fact that a much larger number of
lumbermen can compete at a sale where the timber is to be paid for as cut, as
purchases under this plan are much more easily financed. It also implies a
much less expensive examination of the tract by the prospective purchasers in
advance of the sale, in as much as this examination would confine itself chiefly
to the quality of the timber and the cost of logging, a knowledge of the approxi-
mate amount of the timber being sufficient when the payment is to be made on a
measured basis as the timber is cut.

It has been urged by some that the former system of a lump sum "bonus"
was desirable from a standpoint of immediately interesting the lumbermen in a
larger financial way in the tract, and thus enlisting his very especial interest in
protecting it from fire; also that the comparatively small payment for the timber
as it was cut presented but little temptation to improperly influence the culler
in the measurement of the logs. As regards honest measurement, it may be
admitted that in lessening the amount that a thief can get, one somewhat de-
creased the risk of theft. The thing to do, however, in the measurement of
wood sold by the Province is to make it impossible for anyone to steal it and get
away with it. The improvements suggested in this report in conjunction with
what the Department has already done during the past year, as noted above,
will, I am sure, speedily end any such practice. It is, of course, true that the
larger the financial interest of the owner, the greater is his interest in preventing
fire. Efficient fire protection can, however, best be developed by provincial
organization. There are many reasons for this. Sufficient here to say that the
safety of any particular tract is in a very large measure assured by work done
far beyond its boundaries. In any event the added interest of the lumbermen
owner in protecting from fire a limit purchased on the lump-sum-bonus plan is
not a value that has been created by the method of sale. The fire hazard, which
the lumberman necessarily assumes under these circumstances, is a factor which
he as a business man must have discounted for at the time he made his bid to
purchase the tract.

(6) Re Selling Small Quantities of Timber.

The Shevlin-Clarke case has clearly shown that large timber sales made in
recent years without public competition were not legally so made. It would
appear that there is not any essential legal difference between the lack of auth-
ority for the selling of these larger tracts and the apparent lack of authority for
the granting of permits to cut small quantities of timber, cordwood, ties, etc.
