Water Power 



No water power was encountered of any commercial value except perhaps 

 the English River Falls which has already been investigated. 



In conclusion I would suggest that almost any of the islands in the north- 

 easterly section of Lake Minnietakie, the southeasterly bay and the lake shore 

 on the southern part of Drayton township, adjacent to the easterly boundary 

 of the said township, have portions which would be suitable for summer resort 

 lots. The water is pure and various springs are spotted here and there, both 

 on islands and main shore, which makes for better camp conditions. The 

 only adverse feature being that the lake is fairly shallow and there are rocks 

 and reefs lying just underneath its surface which makes it bad for navigation. 



Accompanying this report there are two plans covering the traverse on 

 tracing linen on a scale of twenty chains to the inch, a table giving a short 

 description of each island and the acreage, copies of observations and my accounts 

 in triplicate, all of which I trust that you will find correct. 



I have the honour to be. Sir, 



Your obedient servant, 



Roy S. Kirkup, 



Ontario Land Surveyor. 

 The Honourable Minister of Lands and Forests, 

 Toronto, Ontario. 



Appendix No. 32 



Readjustment Survey in the Township of Blount, District of 



TiMISKAMING 



North Bay, Ont., November 27th, 1923. 



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

 of survey in the township of Blount, District of Timiskaming, performed by me 

 under instructions from your department, dated October 16th, 1923. 



I left North Bay on October 21st, 1923, with a party of five men and 

 travelled to Cochrane, remaining in Cochrane over night. The following 

 morning travelled by motor truck with supplies to where the Temiskaming and 

 Northern Ontario Railway crosses the south boundary of the township of Blount. 



The posts planted to mark the front and rear of lots one to thirty-six con- 

 cessions A and B of survey made by me in October, 1922, were removed and 

 bearing trees for same obliterated. The iron posts planted last year at one chain 

 and seventy-five links in perpendicular width measured westerly from the 

 centre line of the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway on the north 

 limit of the road allowance of concession I and on the southerly limit of 

 road allowance at concessions II, IV, VI, VIII, X and XII remain but the 

 marking on same have been obliterated. 



The blazes on the following lines were scored by making three axe marks 

 on the blaze facing the line: — 



1. Line west astronomically across lot 21, concession 1, at 59.49 chains 

 north of southerly limit of concession 1.
