tofore been made. A traverse was also made connecting the triangulation points 

 of the Trout lake survey on the boundary between Ware and Gorham township in 

 concession VIII. On lot 1, concession VIII, Ware township, the settler Tarsti had 

 built a house, unfinished, on what he believed to be the north half of the lot, but 

 which our survey located on the south half. 



In fractional lots it would be much fairer to the settler were the portion 

 allotted described from a given point. 



Observations were taken frequently and a check with O.L.S. Benner's work at 

 the south-east angle of Jacques township tallied out, as regards both Azimuth and 

 chainage, exactly with our own. 



The disconnected nature of our work and the addition of land ranger (with an 

 occasional assistant), also more than the average of wet weather have materially 

 increased the estimated cost of a season's operations. 



Should it be deemed advisable to lay out a township south-east of Dog lake a 

 survey of the extensive lake shores could be more advantageously made on the ice 

 during the winter. 



Unforseen circumstances have delayed the sending in of my returns at an 

 earlier date. 



I have the honour to be. Sir, 



Your obedient servant,

Ontario Land Surveyor. 



The Honourable, the Minister of Lands, Forests and Mines, 

 Toronto, Ontario.

 and submit herewith my plans and field notes of the survey. 



Timber. 



This township is covered with growth of small jack pine, poplar, spruce, 

 tamarac, birch and balsam. With the exception of a few trees of red pine on the 

 shore of Eice lake, and a small quantity of scrub ash, elm and oak on the banks of 

 the Wabigoon river, the better class of timber is entirely lacking. 



On the hills and ridges the timber is for the most part short, scrubby jack pine, 

 spruce and birch 3 in. to 8 in. in diameter; of no commercial value, being too
