63 REPORT OF THE Xo. 3 



Game. 



Beaver are the principal occupants of the region, in fact, tliere was hardly 

 a line south of the Arrow River that did not cross a dam at some point or other. 

 There are beaver houses in many places along the Arrow River. Moose and 

 bear were plentiful. Some red deer were seen. 



There are two main trails through the township, the South Fowl Lake trail, 

 crossing the Arrow River on what is known as the Hospital Bridge in lot six, 

 concession three, and the Silver Mountain trail, which in a general way follows 

 the Arrow River on the north side to the north-west corner of the township, and 

 thence to Silver Mountain; this trail is. blocked considerably, west of the logging 

 dam, by windfalls. There are many old lumber trails leading into these main 

 arteries which would help the settler to open up his farm. 



There is a well constructed logging dam across the Arrow River on lot 

 sixteen, concession three, which holds the water back for several miles. 



The Arrow River drops about forty feet at Mary Falls in lot four, con- 

 cession two, but at the time of the survey the dam was holding back the water 

 so that at the falls the water was only twelve feet wide by a foot and a half deep. 



I beg to forward herewith field notes of survey, plans of townships, plan 

 showing field notes of traverses of Arrow River and of the road laid out across 

 lots seven to twelve, Devon Township, 



I trust that everything will be found satisfactory. 



All of which is respectfully submitted. 



I have the honour to be. Sir, 



Your obedient servant, 



(Sgd.) E. R. BiXGiiAM, 



Ontario Land Surveyor. 



The Honourable, the Minister of Lands and Forests, 

 Toronto, Ontario.
