84 EEPOET OF THE No. 3 



Minerals. 



There is an outcrop of diabase on a line between lots 10 and 11, concession 

 III, and also on a line between concessions III and IV, on lot 11. Above this line, 

 on the line between lots 10 and 13, concession I\^, there is an outcropping of 

 Keewatin schist. There were no other outcroppings south of this and none north 

 with the exception of the peninsula on the northerly end of Night Hawk lake. It 

 would appear that the northerly portion of the township is of Keewatin schist in 

 formation, and the southerly portion of diabase. 



Lakes. 



The interior lakes of the township of Cody consist of one small lake in lot 7, 

 concession VI, which is very nearly round and about % mile across. This appears 

 to be a spring lake as the water is very clear. 



Together with this report I am forwarding you the field notes of the town- 

 ship of Cody, a timber plan showing area of the valuable timber, and a plan of 

 the survey. 



Trusting that you will find the above plans accurate and suitable, 



, I have the honour to be, Sir, 



„Your obedient servant, 



(Signed) T. G. Conn. 



'Vhe Honourable, the Minister of Lands, Forests and Mines,

Appendix No. 26. 

 Survey of the Town Plot of Armstrong, in the District of Thunder Bay. 



North Bay, Ontario, September 8th, 1916. 



Sir, — -Herewith we beg to report the completion of the survey of the townsite 

 of Armstrong, on the National Transcontinental Eailway, and in the district of 

 Thunder Bay, performed under instructions from your Department bearing date 

 of May 31st, 1916. 



The townsite lies in a territory very much broken up with fi.sh-bearing waters, 

 and with a soil of a very sandy character. The agricultural possibilities, therefore, 

 of the surrounding country are not so extensive as at all the other divisional points 

 on this railway in Ontario and east from this point. 



The four angles of each lot were all staked, the corner stakes being made three 

 inches or better on the face, and well driven home. On each stake the number of 

 the adjoining lots or streets were marked with black paint. Iron posts were 

 planted at certain block corners as noted on the plan, and these were similarly 

 marked with a cold chisel.
