1920-21 DEPAET^IEN^T OF LANDS AND FOEESTS. 101 



In the two above mentioned townships, particularly in the vicinity of the 

 Ground Hog River, considerable very large poplar was encountered. It was sound 

 and of good quality. In this same area the spruce is also large. Balsam is 

 plentiful and some birch was seen, but generally speaking, there is very little 

 birch in this section. No pine of any description was seen. It was only along 

 the south and east boundaries of MacVicar, the south boundary of Carmiehatl 

 and along the Ground Hog River, north of the head of the Long Rapids, that we 

 saw timber of any real importance. 



Water Courses. 



The Ground Hog and Nat Rivers were the only streams of importance. 

 There are a few small creeks but surprisingly few. The country as a whole is 

 very level. It was only in the immediate vicinity of the above mentioned rivers 

 that there were any hills of consequence. It was only on the south boundary 

 of Oke that any lakes were seen. 



Rock Formation. 

 Only along the rivers in the vicinity of rapids was any rock seen. 



Agriculture. 



The soil is almost entirely a good clay but will require extensive drainage 

 to be of use for farming. 



Animal Life. 



Moose are very plentiful. Fur-bearing animals are also very numerous. 

 The principal fish in the Ground Hog River are sturgeon, pickerel and pike, all 

 of which are fairly plentiful. 



Water Powers. 



The only water power of importance is that surveyed by us in 1911 as W.P. 9, 

 report of which was filed by us at that time. 



Accompanying this report are a general plan on mounted paper, a timber 

 plan on tracing linen and the usual field notes. 



We have the honour to be. Sir, 



Your obedient servants, 



(Sgd.) SUTCLIFFE & NeELANDS, 



Ontario Land Surveyors. 



llie Honourable, the Minister of Lands and Forests, 

 Toronto, Ontario.
