1919-20 DEPAETMENT OF LANDS, FOKESTS AND MINES. 83 



EocK Formation. 



The country rock met with was for the inost part granite with a high per- 

 centage of mica present in places, the only other formation met with being two out- 

 croppings of schist, one in the third line east on the second mile and the other 

 north of the XXIX mile post on the meridian. 



Agriculture. 



Most of the arable land is somewhat sandy and in places is suited for farming, 

 but on the whole we think it better left unoccupied until present merchantable 

 timbei* has been removed. 



Animal Life. 



Moose abound, indications of a few red deer were seen, wolves and bear are 

 numerous, while the better class of fur bearing animals appear plentiful. 



Brook trout were caught in the Koamakashekak Creek and the Paypeesheka- 

 meka Eiver with hook and line, and pike and pickerel in several lakes with the 

 trawl, but further than this we cannot say with what varieties the lakes and 

 streams are stocked. 



Flowers and Shrubs. 



None other than the varieties commonly met with in the great clay belt 

 were observed along the lines surveyed by us. 



Water Powers. 



We did not have occasion to pass by any waterfalls but know of the existence 

 of four in the Township of Stanley on the Pishkanogama Eiver, with an average 

 head each of possibly 15 or 20 feet, three being within sight of each other. 



In conclusion, we beg to thank you for the work allotted to us and assure 

 you that every effort was made to accomplish the character of work required by 

 your Department, and at the same time make a few sorely needed dollars to 

 lielp tide us over another year. 



We sincerely trust that the accompanying plan and field notes togetber with 

 the timber plan will meet witli your approval, all of which is respectfully submitted. 



We have the honour to be, Sir, 



Your obedient servants, 



(Sgd.) SUTCLIFFE & NeELANDS, 



Ontario Land Surveyor-;. 



The Honourable, the Minister of Lands, Forests and Mines, 

 Toronto, Ontario.
