76 REPORT OF THE No. 3 



Game 



Moose and red deer are very plentiful. Fur-bearing animals are scarce 

 on account of the proximity of the railway. There are great numbers of part- 

 ridges and rabbits. 



Fish 



Pickerel, pike, whitefish, perch and suckers are found in abundance in all 

 the lakes and rivers. 

 This is my report. 



I have the honour to be, Sir, 



Your obedient servant, 



K. G. Ross, 



Ontario Land Surveyor. 

 To the Honourable the Minister of Lands and Forests, 

 Parliament Buildings, Toronto.

 Certain Township Outlines, District of Cochrane 



Toronto, October 31st, 1923. 



Sir, — We have the honour to submit the following report on the survey 

 of certain township outlines in the District of Cochrane, performed under in- 

 structions from your department, dated 15th April, 1923. 



Canoes and other equipment had been left the previous summer at Smooth 

 Rock Falls, on the Mattagami River, so in June the party for the season's 

 work was assembled at this point, preparatory to descending the river. 



The party left on 15th June, and travelled down the river as far as O.L.S. 

 Sutcliffe and Neelands' first base line of 1921. This line crosses the Mattagami 

 River about a mile and a half below the mouth of the Kapuskasing River. 

 From the crossing, the party packed the supplies and equipment six miles east 

 over the base line to the northeast angle of the township of Clay, established 

 by us the previous summer. Wet weather delayed the party on the trip, and 

 it was 25th June before the line work was begun. 



We commenced our line at our old post marking the northeast angle of 

 the township of Clay, and from that point ran north nine miles between the 

 townships of Sheldon and Howells. The north boundaries of the townships of 

 Sheldon and Howells were run, respectively, east and west from the nine mile 

 post. The former line was carried to Sutcliflfe and Neelands' meridian run 

 in 1921, and the latter is a meridian run by ourselves in 1911. We continued 

 westward past this meridian between the townships of Harmon and Mowbray 

 for about three miles and the end of the line was left there for the time being. 

 The party then returned to the northeast angle of Howells, and extended our 

 meridian north between the townships of Cockshutt and Traill to a base line 

 run by Messrs. Sutcliffe and Neelands in 1921. The meridian was then con- 

 tinued north between the townships of Emerson and Hamlet. 



The post planted in 1911 to mark the southerly extremity of the east 

 boundary of the township of Hecla was picked up about sixteen chains west of our
