from Toronto and Kingston. About fifty per cent, of the cottages are owned 

 by Americans. There are very few cottages erected on the islands; the tourists 

 prefer to be able to reach their cottages direct by their cars if possible. 



"The fishing this season was poor in comparison with other years. 

 There are fish in all the lakes. Pickerel and bass are the most plentiful of the 

 game fish, and rock bass and sun fish are so plentiful they are a pest. The 

 pickerel range as high as eight pounds and bass up to four pounds. Salmon 

 or grey trout are found in the following: Crown Lake, Green Bay of Bob's 

 Lake, Desert Lake, Canoe Lake, Buck Lake, Salmon Lakes, Big Clear Lake, and 

 Devil Lake. Buck Lake seems to offer the best fishing of all the lakes. The 

 size of the salmon varies from three to fifteen pounds. 



"Herewith are descriptions of the general features of the lakes and the 

 islands in them. A value has been placed on the small islands which are desirable 

 for cottage purposes. Islands large enough for cottage purposes and large 

 enough to be subdivided into two or more parcels are noted. It is presumed 

 that these islands would be divided into parcels of two or three acres."
