Game. 



Numerous indications of deer and moose were seen; beaver -are also plentiful 

 on most of the streams; no fish of any size were seen, probably due to the small 

 size of the streams.

Appendix No. 20. 



Survey of the Northern Portions oe the Toavnships of Ware and Gorham, 



District of Thunder Bay. 



Port Arthur, December 31st, 1915. 



SiR;, — I have the honour to report that in accordance with your instructions I 

 have completed the survey of the " Projected Base Ijine running east astronomically 

 from the north-east angle of Gorham township together with the subdivision of 

 remaining portions of concession VIII, township of Gorham and concession VIII, 

 township of Ware, district of Thunder Bay," and beg to submit herewith the usual

 VIII, township of Ware and the lands west of Jacques township.

 in such matters. . ■ 



As mentioned in previous progress reports concerning the portion of Gorham 

 township and section east of Jacques township, the land in our opinion is very 

 largely of no value and unsuitable for agricultural purposes, and the timber being

 bring about the discovery of copper and gold values of commercial value. There 

 is very little development work however in evidence at present. 



When surveying Onion lake and Current river, I, at the suggestion of the 

 Engineering and Utilities Departments of the city of Port Arthur, located the
