88 REPORT OF THE No. 3 



Kasagiminnis Lake 



Kasagiminnis Lake (Ele. 1235) is made up of four arms of water. From a 

 point at about the head of its outlet to Annimwash Lake, three of the arms 

 extend in a northerly direction and one in a south-westerly direction. The lake 

 bottom is generally shallow, consisting of mud and boulders. The character 

 of the soil about the lake is sand with rock outcrops and the banks are from 

 three to five feet in height, timbered chiefly with young growth spruce and 

 poplar. The spruce of pulpwood size. At the north end of one of the north- 

 westerly arms of Kasagiminnis Lake is the mouth of a small river flowing from 

 Little Ochig Lake in a south-westerly direction. The river is two miles in length 

 and averages one and a half chains in width. The bed of the stream is made 

 up of mud and boulders and the flow is moderate. The banks are usually low 

 and marshy and the timber along the shore mostly destroyed by fire. 



Little Ochig Lake and Ochig Lake 



Little Ochig Lake (Ele. 1243) lies in a northerly direction for about two 

 miles from its outlet to Kasagiminnis Lake, and its width averages about half 

 a mile. It is shallow with mud bottom throughout its entire area, and is difficult 

 to navigate with loaded canoes. 



Above Little Ochig Lake is Ochig Lake (Ele. 1250), connected by a small 

 stream about fifteen chains in length and two chains in width. Ochig Lake, 

 from its outlet lies in a north-easterly direction for about three and a half miles 

 and the widest of this section is one and three quarter miles. At the north-easterly 

 end of this first section of the Lake is a narrows having a length of ten chains 

 and a width of fifteen chains. From the narrows the lake continues in a westerly 

 direction for about three miles and has a width of about three quarters of a mile. 



Ochig Lake in general is not deep, there being many shallow places of mud 

 and boulders. 



In the vicinity of Little Ochig and Ochig Lakes the soil is sandy with 

 granite rock outcroppings along the shores. The timber is second growth 

 spruce, poplar, and birch. The spruce being of merchantable size. 



The lakes and streams heretofore described flow in a southerly direction 

 and empty into a river at the south end of Dog Hole Lake. From this point 

 these waters run in a south-westerly direction and reach Lake St. Joseph in a 

 distance of about 6 miles. 



Mud Lake 



At the north shore of Ochig Lake a portage of 50 chains in length is necessary 

 to reach Mud Lake (Ele. 1263). This lake from the portage, which is near 

 its south-west end, lies in a north-easterly direction for one and a half miles and 

 has a width of about half a mile. 



The shores are low and marshy with an occasional showing of granite rock 

 formation. It has mud bottom, is shallow throughout its entire area, and 

 difficult to navigate with loaded canoes. 



WiMBABiKA Lake 



North-westerly from Mud Lake a portage one and a quarter miles in length 

 is made to reach Wimbabika Lake. About midway on the portage is the height
