74 REPORT OF THE No. 3 



When, after 58 years interval, since the original survey, one finds 41 out 

 of the original 45 monuments, it is worth while to consider the reason. The 

 answer here lies in the fact that the monuments were made of cut stone. And 

 while the present type of cement-filled, bronze-capped, flange-shod iron post 

 is very fine, yet the experience of the writers this year in building cement posts 

 leads them to suggest that on many surveys it would be of great advantage 

 to have the surveyor instructed to build such posts at salient points if conven- 

 ient to get in his supplies of cement. 



To read the report of the men who made the original survey in 1874 and to 

 visit that same area to-day where now are seen wonderful developments of 

 mines, metallurgical works, railways, pulp mills as well as fine farms, highways 

 and homes, is to bring home again the oft recurring thought to a surveyor that 

 he is truly a pioneer. One would hardly connect the wonderful mills and lovely 

 farms now seen with the "hyperborean regions" of the early report. Surely 

 the surveyor's work well done is a good foundation for future development 

 and truly his report, well made, is an augury of that which is to come. 



Accompanying this report are plans, field notes, and accounts.

Sir: 



Acting on your instructions dated, Toronto, April 11th, 1932, to make a 

 detailed survey of the unsurveyed part of the Moose River, and that part of 

 the Harricanaw River, from the Ontario-Quebec Boundary to James Bay, 

 and the shore of James Bay from a point north of Ships Sands Island to the 

 end of O.L.S. King's traverse at Gull Point, I beg to state that this survey 

 has been completed and I submit herewith the following report. 



The survey throughout has been chain measured, except for some stadia 

 work done among the islands in the Harricanaw River, and the posting of the 

 survey was made at intervals of about one mile apart or at other suitable 

 places at Highest Tide. At some points cedar posts surrounded with rock 

 were established. At other places pits with mounds or circular trenches six 

 feet in diameter with a cedar post in the centre of an earthen mound were
