83 EEPOET OF THE No. 3 



MissiNAiBi Lake Eepokt. 



On account of continued bad weather and approach of winter the traverse 

 of this lake was not completed. About fifteen miles at the north-east end of the 

 lake is yet unsurveyed. 



The portion surveyed to date comprises a long and comparatively straight 

 stretch of lake about twenty miles in length and averaging from one-quarter to 

 three-quarter miles in width with a connecting course at mid-length northward 

 from Fairy Point about one and one-half miles, and north-east from this about 

 parallel to the remainder of the lake there is an arm about nine miles long and 

 varying in width from one-quarter to three-quarter miles. 



In general, the lake has a great depth and in no places were any shallow 

 areas encountered. Navigation on any part of the lake would be possible for 

 large tugs. 



The shores of the lake are • rocky and in many places precipitous. There 

 are a few limited areas of marsh along the shores of the lake but flooding would 

 not materially increase area. 



Crooked Lake is a tributary to this lake entering it at the west end of the 

 north-east arm above noted about three miles in an airline from Fairy Point. 

 At the entrance to Missinaibi Lake there is a fall of fifteen feet high and up- 

 stream from this about three and one-half chains is a fall about fifteen feet high 

 which is one and one-half chains from the outlet of Crooked Lake. 



The lake has long been used by traders as a link to James Bay. It is very 

 probable that this lake would make an excellent storage, for power development 

 on Missinaibi Eiver but the outlet I have not yet examined. 



Timber such as red and white pine are scarce, only a small amount of this 

 •species scattered throughout the lake district. Spruce and balsam interspersed 

 with birch, poplar and cedar will be found in large quantities together with jack 

 pine suitable for tie timber. 



I have the honour to be. Sir, 



Your obedient servant,

Ontario Land Surveyor, 

 The Honourable, the Minister of Lands and Forests,
