1925 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 67 



poplar and birch up to fourteen inches, while in the southwesterly part of town- 

 ship IIF, there are many large white pine up to thirty inches, also some largr 

 cedar. The timber plan accompanying this report gives in detail the timbee 

 encountered along the lines. 



Physical Features and Soil 



"While there are some high hills in the area, the district may well be des- 

 cribed as undulating. The soil throughout is sandy, boulder strewn in a few 

 small isolated areas, and the greater portion appears suitable for agriculture. 



Minerals 



"No indications of economic minerals were observed, the outcrops noted 

 being granite and few in number. 



Fish and Game 



"In the lakes in the northwestern part of the district many large pike were 

 caught, in all other waters they were scarce and small. No other kinds of fish 

 were seen. Moose appeared to be very numerous and there are some red deer. 

 Beaver were plentiful in the greater part of the area, and signs of bear were 

 common. Indications of other fur-bearing animals were rare. Partridges abound 

 through the locality. 



Water Powers 



"No water powers were encountered within the outlines surveyed but there 

 is a storage dam on the river which drains Side Burned Hill Lake. This has 

 flooded quite a large area, and made line cutting very difficult on the northerly 

 part of the west limit of township 29. It had also submerged the posts planted 

 at high water mark referencing the southwest corner of Chapleau township, and 

 these posts I removed and placed at the present high water mark as is shown 

 in the field notes." 



Appendix No. 35 



Extract from O.L.S. McAuslan, Anderson & Moore's report on township outlines, 

 south of Canadian Pacific Railway, district of Sudbury, dated North Bay, 

 January 24th, 1924. 



Soil 



"The only place we came across any soil having an agricultural possibility 

 was along the south boundary of townships IIC and IID, and on the south 

 half of the line between townships 11 G and 11 D. These lines pass through 

 almost level country with soil of sandy loam and clay. The balance of the 

 survey passes through country wholly unsuitable for agricultural purposes, the 

 soil being of light sand and in many places hilly and full of boulders. 



Physical Features 



"Township 10 E, 10 F, and 10 G, might be classed as hilly increasing in 

 roughness to the west, while townships 23, 24, 25, 11 B, 11 C and 11 D, are more 

 or less rolling, with many areas of almost level land.
