empties into James Bay being about halfway between Albany Post and Moose 

 Factory. We crossed several small creeks. 



Canoe Routes 



We took supplies down the Cheepash River from the railroad to the Moose 

 River and from the Moose we put some supplies up the Kwataboahegan River 

 and also up the Hancock Creek. There were no rapids on the Cheepash River 

 between the railroad and the Moose River. There was only one small rapids 

 between our line and the Moose River on the Kwataboahegan and as the water 

 was high when we used it we did not have to portage. 



Between the Moose River and our line on the Hancock Creek there are 

 two short portages, caused by log jams. This creek is only used by trappers 

 in the spring during the high water and is by no means a good route. We took 

 supplies up James Bay to the Wabiskaw or Halfway River and tried to use it 

 to bring supplies into our line. The water was too low and we had to carry 

 them across country' to the line. The Indians told us that trappers use this 

 river in the early spring. All these rivers are shallow and swift. We had our 

 canoes meet us where our line finished and the party returned down the coast 

 to Moosonee. 



Water Powers 



There are no falls or rapids in this district that could be developed. 



Game 



There is very little game in the country'. We did not see any moose or 

 caribou. We were unable to catch any trout in the creeks or rivers. We saw 

 very few signs of fresh beaver work. 



The small ponds and lakes in the muskegs are the breeding grounds for geese 

 and duck which are very plentiful. There are also partridge and prairie chicken 

 in the district. 



We commenced our work as early as possible to enable other surveyors to 

 run township outlines from the Meridian. We had an exceptionally cool summer 

 and the usual summer frosts. 



We did not see any permanent Indian camps except at Moose Factory. 

 The Indians use this as headquarters and from there trap over the district.
