five of these townships, however, contain an immense quantity of valuable 

 timber, the location of which will be seen on the timber plan. The whole 

 country is traversed by numerous creeks and lakes containing considerable 

 good fish, particularly pike and lake trout. Moose and red deer are also very 

 plentiful in this locality. In the lowlands between the hills are found the 

 usual swampy tracts covered with spruce, dead and decaying tamarac with 

 alder and willow underbrush and considerable windfall, the average size of this 

 timber runs from two to ten inches. 



I have the honour to be, Sir, 



Your obedient servant,

Ontario Land Surveyor.

Appendix No. 30 

 Survey of Township of Mongowin, District of Sudbury 



Little Current, Ont., November 19th, 1923. 



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

 of the township of Mongowin, in the district of Sudbury, performed under 

 instructions from your department, dated Toronto, June 1st, 1923. 



The manner of the survey was carried on as nearly as practicable to conform 

 with the instructions. 



Several iron posts were planted at the intersections of survey lines, as 

 recorded in the field notes. In the Lacloche Mountains, in the southern portion 

 of the township, on account of there being very little soil, none were planted. 



Where practicable at all the posts were well mounded up with stones, 

 most of the mounds, or cairns, are from three to five feet at the base, and where 

 there was a depth of soil a hole was dug about two feet deep, and the post set 

 up firmly in it. Nearly all the posts are of cedar. 



In the appendix to the field notes will be found the notes of my survey 

 of the outlines of the Wallace Mine locations, including Block A, which I made 

 in January, 1900, for the late Thomas Frood. All possible information regard- 

 ing the original survey of the locations, and a letter of explanation, were obtained 

 from the then Director of Surveys, Mr. Kirkpatrick, before proceeding with 

 the survey. 



The evidences which I found on the ground of the west limit of the White- 

 fish River Indian Reserve are rather unsatisfactory. With the exception of 

 its intersection with Lake Huron, and a short distance from there, and the 

 intersection at West River, which latter one I found in 1920, also a cairn on 

 the north shore of Raven Lake, which is said to be the northwest angle of the 

 Reserve, the blazes which I have seen seem to be only a reblazing in a hap- 

 hazard way, and made probably 20 to 30 years ago. 



On page three of the instructions of above date, reference is made to an 

 apparent discrepancy between O.L.S. Bolger's survey of the first concession 

 west of Wallace Mine, at the shore where it connects with O.L.S. Alex. Vidal's 

 survey of Wallace Mine, lot 5, I did not find any discrepancy there, nor elsewhere.
