 No water powers were encountered on this survey. 



Fish and Game 



Moose were plentiful especially along the Patten River. Partridge and 

 rabbits were not very numerous, and the lakes are well stocked with pike and 

 pickerel.

Appendix No. 22 



Extracts from the report and field notes of the retracing of certain Township 

 Boundaries in the Districts of Sudbury and Temiskaming, by E. L. Moore, 

 O.L.S., 1929. 



This survey consisted of retracing the line between the following town- 

 ships, namely: Beaumont and Beresford, McNamara and Cotton, Leask and 

 Valin, Unwin and Stull, Browning and DufTerin, Ogilvie and North Williams, 

 Fawcett and Leonard, MacMurchy and Tyrrell, Natal and Knight, Mond 

 and Raymond, Halliday and Midlothian, Hutt and Montrose, Zavitz and 

 Hincks, Geikie and Cleaver, Douglas and Fallon which was surveyed originally 

 as one straight line by Ontario Land Surveyor A. Niven in 1898. 



The survey consisted of opening out the original line, checking the align- 

 ment and measurements, and renewing such of the original posts as could be 

 located. Hence the line was well opened out from post to post and cut 

 particularly wide at and for some distance from the shores of all lakes, and 

 at the tops of all prominent hills for the benefit of those engaged in aerial surveys. 

 The trees along the line were blazed in the usual manner. New posts of the 

 most durable wood obtainable, and not less than six inches square, were planted 

 at all points where the original post or bearing tree could be found, and this 

 applies to every point marked in the original survey with one exception, and 

 that is the point where a post was planted on the shore of Burwash Lake in 

 lieu of the 30 mile post, which point is now under water as the lake has been 

 raised. Where possible a substantial mound of stones was built around each 

 post, and where stones were not available standard pits were dug. At each 

 post two or more trees, where such were in the vicinity, were blazed conspicu- 

 ously, facing the post and marked with the letters "B.T." indicating "Bearing 

 Tree." The distance in chains and the astronomic bearing from the post to 

 such blaze was noted and recorded in my field notes. All marking was done by 

 carving deeply in the wood with a scribe or knife. Each post was marked as 

 the original that it renewed but in "Arabic," whereas the originals were marked 

 in "Roman." Where a mile post marked also a township corner the names of 

 the respective townships were carved thereon. 



Two steel tapes, five chains and two hundred feet in length respectively, 

 were used on this work, after having first been compared with a standard tape. 

 Where the ground was not level, slope measurements were taken and a clinometer 

 was used to measure the degree of inclination from which the horizontal measure- 

 ments were deduced. In many places, however, the hills were so high and 

 steep that I did not consider a hand clinometer sufficiently accurate and in
