.84 EEPOKT OF THE No. 3 



scattered areas of very gravelly clay of glacial origin. The valleys and low lying 

 land in the Township of Lessard and Foch are arable but the total area of useful 

 country from an agricultural point of view is very small. These townships are 

 rock in the main. 



TiMBEK. 



The Township of Lessard and the easterly nine miles of the Township of 

 Foch are heavily timbered with large spruce, poplar and birch. Fire swept the 

 southerly two miles of these townships during the summer of 1919. The westerly 

 two miles of the Township of Foch has been swept clean by fire some twenty years 

 ago and is still barren. The Townships of Nagagami, Flanders, Hiawatha and 

 Frances are wooded with spruce from 3 in. to 8 in. in diameter, together with a 

 certain amount of banksian pine near the Canadian National Eailway. There is ;; 

 very large burnt area in the neighbourhood of the line between the Townships of 

 Nagagami and Flanders, Frances and Hiawatha. 



MiNEEALS. 



The rock formation is entirely Laurentian as it came under our observation, 

 being granite and gneiss. We saw no indications of minerals. 



Watee Powers. 



There is one fall on the Obakagami Eiver about three miles south of the 

 lake of that name, which would develop about 1,000 horse-power if full use were 

 made of the storage capacity of Obakagami Lake. A thirty foot dam could be 

 cheaply constructed between rock walls to have a crest of about one hundred 

 feet. Aside from this, the repaids on the Obakagami and Nagagami Eivers are of 

 no consequence from a power development point of view. 



Fish and Game. 



Practically all the rivers and streams in this area abound in speckled trout. 

 There are as well, pickerel, pike, maskinonge, whitefish and suckers. We are 

 unable to make a complete report as to fish as it would be necessary to use a net 

 to get the information. 



There are great numbers of moose and a few deer. There did not appear 

 to be any rabbits and there were very few partridge. 



We are sending under separate cover, field notes, plans and accounts in 

 connection with our work. 



We have the honour to be, Sir, 



i Your obedient servants,
