 south of Keikewabik Lake. 



Soil. 



Though there were comparatively few outcroppings of rock on the easterly 

 portion of the line, there are numerous boulders over a greater part of the area 

 and the soil is mostly a light sandy loam. The agricultural lands in this section 

 are limited to small areas. The soil on the westerly part of the line is mostly 

 clay and clay loam with some areas being suitable for farming though it is doubtful 

 if any six-mile portion of the line would contain more than 50 per cent, of good 

 land. 



The larger game animals, moose, deer and bear are quite plentiful and there 

 were also indications that the area is fairly well stocked with smaller animals of 

 the fur-bearing type with the exception of beaver and on only one lake did we 

 notice fresh work of the latter. The lakes are well stocked with fish. In Amik 

 Lake we took pickerel ranging up to twelve pounds in weight.
