52 EEPOET OF THE Xo. 3 



Lake and Eiver Teaverse Surveys. 



The work was continued this year by C. E. Kenny, O.L.S., on the Missinaibi 

 Lake and Eiver; T. G. Code, O.L.S., on the Ground Hog Eiver and headwater lakes; 

 Bingham & Kirkup, O.L.S., on the Nagagami Lake and Eiver and Pagwachuan 

 Eiver in the District of Algoma; T. J. Patten, O.L.S., on Lake Penage and 

 Whitefish Eiver; J. S. Dobie, O.L.S., on Lake St. Joseph, Island Lake and 

 Kashaweogama Lake. 



The report of the geologist with Ontario Land Surveyor Dobie's party last 

 year indicated the possibility of iron ore deposits in territory adjacent to Kashaweo- 

 gama Lake and Lake St. Joseph and it seemed advisable that a more detailed 

 survey should be made in this area. 



The beautiful expanse of Lake Penage and islands therein, its accessibility to 

 steamboat and railroad traffic, though sufficiently removed for quiet, makes this 

 district very attractive as a summer resort proposition. 



The larger rivers flowing north to James Bay are being accurately mapped 

 and the water power and timber prospects reported on and filed for future reference. 



Miscellaneous Surveys. 



Timber lines as required were surveyed by Lincoln Mooney, O.L.S. These 

 consisted of work in the Township of Noble, in the District of Sudbury, Township 

 D in the District of Algoma and Timber Berth E in the District of Nipissing. 

 Wherever practicable these lines were marked permanently and will be used in 

 further subdivisions of the townships when required. 



TOWNSITE. 



The survey of a small townsite at Gogama in the ToAvnship of Noble, District 

 of Sudbury, was assigned to Lincoln Mooney, O.L.S. This subdivision adjoining 

 the Canadian National Eailway line was required to take care of the locating 

 and housing of the population in that lumber manufacturing area. . 



Instructions were issued to G. F. Summers, O.L.S,, to survey a townsite at 

 Kapuskasing on the Canadian National Eailway, Township of O'Brien, District 

 of Timiskaming. Owing to the location of the Spruce Falls Pulp Company's plant 

 the townsite survey has been delayed but a definite location for the town has 

 now been decided upon and work is progressing upon the subdivision. 



W. H. Fairchild, O.L.S., was directed to mark certain boundaries of CrOwn 

 lands and lay out park lots on the Lake Erie front at Long Point, Township of 

 Walsingham. The method of dealing with this area and manner in which it 

 should be controlled may now be intelligently considered. 



E. T. Ireson, O.L.S., was instructed to proceed with the Canadian Aero 

 Film Company's seaplane to James Bay and to cruise the territory south and 

 west thereof and report as fully as possible from observation the character of 

 the country covered. The conditions under which these instructions were carried 

 out and the difficulties met with are fully described in his report herewith. (See 

 Appendix 40.) 



The stone monument planted to mark the interprovincial boundary at Port 

 Fortune on the bank of the Ottawa Eiver was found to be out of place and 

 arrangements were made with the Department of Lands and Forests, Quebec, to
