66 REPORT OF THE No. 3 



"The measurements and levels show that the contours shown on the com- 

 pany's plans are substantially correct. While no actual contour lines have been 

 run, the plans correctly show their positions. A traverse line has been run 

 following as nearly as possible a general elevation not differing more than one 

 or two feet from the required contour line. From these traverse lines levels and 

 offsets have been taken to the correct contour points where pegs, marked with 

 the elevation were planted. The contours on the plans are obtained from these 

 points. Water levels were carried along the river and lakes and at intervals 

 of about half a mile check levels were run back to the contour traverse line thus 

 checking its elevation and position. During the season further investigation by 

 the company's engineers has resulted in the decision to still further raise the 

 height of the proposed dams so that final contour lines will have to be run. In 

 fact since last August the work of running a contour line at elevation 1365, for 

 the proposed Moose Lake development has been in progress and is still con- 

 tinuing. 



"No efforts had been rnade to the Power Company's survey to locate 

 original lines. No lines have been run on the ground to indicate the boundaries 

 of those parcels of land shown on the plans as required for power sites so that 

 there was nothing on the ground to connect these power sites with the traverse. 

 Special efforts were made to locate the nearest original lines and posts and those 

 found are shown on the plans. 



"With this report is a profile showing the fall of the river from the Lac des 

 Mille Lacs Dam, to the river below Sturgeon Falls, and the power company's 

 projected developments thereon. The high water and tailwater levels given are 

 those of the latest proposition and it is worthy of notice that the tailwater level 

 given for the Sturgeon Falls power development is equivalent to 497 Public 

 Works datum which is the present recognized high water level of Rainy Lake 

 which would suggest that the proposed raising of the high water level to 500 or 

 501 has been abandoned." 



Appendix No. 34 



Extract from O.L.S. Chas. V. Gallagher's report on survey of certain township 

 outlines in district of Sudbury, south of Canadian Pacific Railway, dated 

 Porcupine, February 22nd, 1924, 



"Part of the area included within these outlines, lying within three miles of 

 the Canadian Pacific Railway, has been cut over in the past, apparently to 

 secure railway ties. At the present, lumbering operations are in progress on the 

 north half of township 32, and a compass line of recent date running east and 

 west midway of this township, and another forming the north half of the westerly 

 limit of this same township, were encountered. Lumbering operations were also 

 carried on in recent years in the central, or north eastern part of township 29. 

 On the southerly one mile of this township, and the northerly three-quarter 

 mile of township 12F, and extending easterly into township 28 and 12 E, there is 

 a fine stand of small black pine. In fact, nature is bountifully reforestering all 

 the areas within these outlines that have been devastated by fire in past years, 

 recent and remote. The southerly ten miles of the area included in this survey 

 is apparently fairly well timbered throughout with spruce, balsam, jack pine,
