86 EEPOET OF THE No. 3 



and Steel. The larger lakes being the Whitefish, Trout and Owl. There arc 

 innumerable small streams and small lakes in this large area. I have endeavoured 

 to show these and the connections between them on my plan. It must be under- 

 stood, however, that this is a most incomplete plan, as far as water routes are 

 coiicerned. There were no places where I considered that a reservation should 

 be made to the Crown of water powers. There may be such areas within the 

 limit, but at or near the boundaries as run by me, there were no areas of sufficient 

 importance to warrant any special attention. 



Conclusion. 



I feel, sir, that this report is not complete in detail, but the plan and field 

 notes will show the extent of the timber areas, will show the rivers and lakes, 

 canoe routes, burnt and cut-over areas, better than they can be covered in any 

 report. If there are any inquiries that you, sir, may wish to make, or that the 

 Department wishes to make, I will be glad to go into further detail as well as 

 I can. As a timber report, this report will be of no value, for we encountered 

 no timber on the survey — that is, no timber of commercial value and in sufficient 

 quantity to warrant timbering operations to drive it to the lake. 



I trust, sir, that my plan and field notes will be found to be correct and 

 in good order, and that the lines of survey as run on the ground, may be found 

 by your Inspector to be well cut out and blazed, the posts well marked and planted. 

 All possible care was taken to follow the instructions, both written and printed 

 in this and other respects. 



I have the honour to be, Sir 



Your obedient servant, 



(Sgd.) M. E. Crouch, 



Ontario Land Surveyor. 



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

 Toronto, Ontario. 



Appendix No. 32. 

 Survey of the Tow^nship of Gumming, District of Algoma. 



Sault Ste. Marie, January 16th, 1919. 



Si]^^ — We have the honour to report that under instructions dated the 26th 

 of June, 1918, we have subdivided the Township of Cumming into farm lots 

 of approximately 100 acres each. We commenced the survey by running south 

 astronomically the sideline between Lots 6 and 7 from the north boundary of the 

 township. This line is a continuation of the corresponding sideline in the Town- 

 ship of Idington subdivided by O.L.S. Dobie. We cut this line for approximately 

 9 miles taking a number of observations. We next ran the south boundary of the 

 township running due west from a post marked 9 M. planted by O.L.S. Niven in 

 1906 to the intersection with another meridian also run by O.L.S. Mven in 1906.
