Appendix No. 21 

 Report of G. P. Angus, Survey of the Township of Caron, District of Cochrane. 



North Bay, Ontario, 



October 4th, 1932. 

 Sir: 



I have the honour to submit the following report on the survey of the 

 subdivision of the southeasterly part of the Township of Caron, District of 

 Cochrane, performed by me, under instructions from your Department, dated 

 April 11th, 1932. 



This township is situated on the coastal plain of the James Bay area and is 

 a level tract of land drained mainly by Store Creek and Butler Creek which 

 flow in a southeasterly direction two miles apart and are about twenty feet in 

 width and two feet deep, and being ten to fifteen feet below the level of the 

 surrounding country through which they flow. 



The soil is clay covered with about a foot of black muck and heavy moss, 

 and except for a strip of about ten chains in width on each side of the creeks, 

 which is dry and well drained, the balance is wet and boggy, but if drained 

 should have agricultural possibilities. 



The timber is mostly small tamarac two inches to four inches in diameter, 

 except for the strip of about ten chains on each side of the creeks which is timbered 

 with spruce up to fourteen inches in diameter and a few balsams up to six inches 

 in diameter. 



No rock outcroppings were encountered, but there are some boulders and 

 gravel in the bed of the creeks. 



Spruce partridges were plentiful, and some fine speckled trout were caught 

 in Butler Creek. No moose or large game were seen.

Report of G. P. Angus, Survey of the Township of Moose, District of Cochrane. 



North Bay, Ontario, 



October 20th, 1932. 

 Sir: 



I have the honour to submit the following report on the survey of the 

 subdivision of the southwesterly part of the Township of Moose, District of 

 Cochrane, performed by me, under instructions from your Department, dated 

 April 11th, 1932, and supplementary instructions, dated June 29th, 1932. 



The country is level, with moss and black muck about one foot in depth 

 with a clay subsoil, and except for a strip of land extending about ten chains on 

 each side of the creeks which is well drained, the balance of the country is wet, 

 but if drained should have agricultural possibilities. 



The timber adjacent to the creeks and extending for about ten chains on 

 each side of the creeks is mostly spruce from four to fourteen inches in diameter. 

 Along the Moose River from Lot 16, Concession 4, to Lot 21, Concession 2, a 

 distance of two miles, there is a strip of about ten chains timbered with spruce 

 and poplar up to twelve inches in diameter. Also along the Moose River from 

 Lot 9, Concession 5 to Lot 15, Concession 4, about two miles in length and ten 

 to twelve chains in width, this area appears to have been washed by the ice in
