Minerals. 



The greater part of the rock throughout the country is granite and green- 

 stone. Many small stringers of quartz were observed, but no large veins. Small 

 stringers of hematite were noted in several places along the line between Heenan 

 and Teuton Townships, but are not likely of any economic importance. 



Watek Powers. 



There are three small water powers on the Ridout River within the limits 

 of the land surveyed, and one larger power, but in a dry season like this the 

 amount of power that could be developed would be almost negligible. 



The water in all lakes and streams is clear and pure. 



Game. 



Large and small fur-bearing animals were numerous. Beaver work was 

 seen in or along nearly all lakes and streams, and there were many indications 

 of timber wolves, fox, lynx, fisher, otter and bear. Moose were very plentiful, 

 and a few indications of red deer were observed. Partridge of different varieties 

 were very plentiful, also. The lakes and streams contain pike, pickerel, trout, 

 and whitefish. 



I am submitting with this report a general township plan, a timber plan, 

 field notes, account in triplicate and the required affidavits. 



I have the honour to be. Sir, 



Your obedient servant, 



(Sgd.) Chas. V. Gallagher, 



Ontario Land Surveyor. 

 The Honourable, ike Minister of Lands and Forests, 

 Toronto, Ontario.
