94 EEPOET OF THE No. a 



found and surveyed within the portion of the lake covered by this report. These 

 were lettered and numbered from J.K. 77 to J.K. 158 and on each island a tree- 

 was marked with the initials and numbers of the island and these will be found 

 recorded in the field notes of the survey. The traverse of the shore line wa& 

 made with reference to the margin as defined when the dam of the Kaministiquia 

 Power Co. at the outlet of the lake is full. At the time the survey was made 

 the lake was nearly at its original level and the approximate position of the old 

 shore line as shown in dotted lines on the plan should be fairly accurate. 



The greater portion of the margin of the lake is timbered with green forest, 

 the most prevalent species being spruce. The west shore has been all burned 

 off by forest fires that passed over the country about ten years ago. Lumbering 

 operations are being carried on by John Stirrett and Sons on Timber Berth 1). 

 and their camp is near Station 26 of the traverse. 



Few indications of game were noticed. The lake is poorly stocked with fish. 



We have the honour to be, Sir, 



Your obedient servants,

Ontario Land Surveyors.

Appendix No. 32. 

 Traverse of Long Lake, District of Thunder Bay. 



Sault Ste. Marie, March 17th, 1920. 



Sir, — I beg to submit herewith the following report in connection' with the 

 traverse survey of Long Lake, made by me i'A ?fie District of Thunder E>av, under 

 instructions from your Department, dated July 22nd, 19f9. 



On receipt of these instructions preparations were immediately made. ]\Iy 

 assistants were brought from the Garden River Indian Eeserve and the party 

 left Sault Ste. Marie on the morning of July 30th, by the Algoma Central Railway 

 via Oba arriving at Long Lake at midnight July 31st. 



We commenced our survey from a post planted on the north boundary of 

 the Long Lake Indian Reserve No. 77, surveyed by O.L.S. Dobie in 19i0, We 

 traversed the Canadian Northern Railway from this post, which was marked 

 Post No. 1, to the north shore of Long Lake near the mouth of the Kenogami 

 River. From here the stadia traverse of the lake was commenced, readings being 

 taken at frequent intervals to show the irregularities of the shore line. 



At intervals of about a mile apart posts were made and carved on the side 

 next the lake. These were generally made from standing trees and were marked 

 with a knife as follows: T.l, T.2, etc., up to T.85. In every case these posts were 

 carefully tied to transit points with transit and a chain as shown on the plan 

 prepared of thi^ survey. '
