«2 liEPORT OF THE No. 3 



Owing to the almost unprecedented rainfall of last spring and summer as well 

 as the n^ore attractive work on the colonization roads in the vicinity, it was 

 almost impossible to induce the settlers to work on our survey party even at $2.50 

 a day and board. Appearances are that labor will be much cheaper the coming 

 season. 



As 1 had previously traversed the Current river for the City of Port Arthur, 

 1 was enabled to save the expense of a survey of that difficult portion. 



The survey work in this township was approximately as follows: 



Miles of lot line run 321/2 



Miles traverse of lakes, etc., chained 8 



Miles pacing and topography 5 



451/0 

 also cutting several miles of portages. 



I have the honour to be. Sir, 



Your obedient servant,

Ontario Land Surveyor.

 Toronto, Ont. 



Appendix No, 33. 



Survey of Part of the Township of Ware, District of Thunder Bay. 



Port Arthur, March 17th, 1914, 



Sir, — I have the honour to submit the following report on the survey of con- 

 cession 7 and part of concession 8, north of Ware township during the past year. 



The conditions here are very similar to those prevailing north of Gorham 

 township, the countr}'^, however, is not so broken up by lakes. 



The soil in the eastern portion is sandy but changes to a clay in lot 7, which 

 continues westward to the Kaministikwia river where rock is more in evidence 

 than elsewhere. The better land lies in the eastern half adjacent to Gorham 

 township and some good land will be found north of concession -7 along the river. 

 Very little swamp was encountered. 



Many of the lots will doubtless be located by those hardy and thrifty pioneers 

 of Finnish origin who are settling upon the lands to the immediate south. 



As shown on separate timber map the usual mixed spruce, birch, jack pine, 

 poplar, tamarac and balsam abound, A considerable area of large timber exists 

 in the western portion of concession 7 and several winter roads have been cut con- 

 necting therewith. Some of the good timber has already heen taken out. 



There were no visible indications of minerals of economic value and, except 

 where there is intrusive trap rock at the Crooked rapids. As usual variation of 

 the magnetic needle was noticed.
