1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 81 



Timber. 



The timber is small, due to being fire swept. A few scattered areas have 

 timber of commercial size, but a fine harvest of lumber is growing, which will 

 be a valuable asset in fifteen or twenty years. 



Rock. 



Very few outcrops of rock were encountered. No contacts were observed 

 nor economic mineral discovered. 



Game. 



Large game is plentiful. Tracks of moose, red deer, and bear, were seen 

 daily. Small fur is also there, and from reports, trapping has been carried on 

 extensively. 



Accompanying this report are plan, field notes, accounts, etc., all of which 

 are respectfully submitted for your approval. 



We have the honour to be, Sir, 



Your obedient servants, 



McCauslan & Anderson, 



Ontario Land Surveyors. 



The Honourable, the Minister of Lands and Forests, 

 Toronto, Ontario. 



Appendix No. 27. 



Toronto, January 20th, 192L 



Sir, — We have the honour to submit the following report on the survey 

 of certain township outlines north of the Canadian Pacific Railway in the 

 District of Sudbury, made by us during the past summer, under instructions 

 from your Department dated 21st May, 1920. 



Upon the receipt of the instructions, arrangements were made for the 

 organisation and equipment of the necessary party, and on the 15th of June 

 a party was assembled at Dalton, on the Canadian Pacific Railway. The 

 following day a search was made for the iron post planted in 1893 by O.L.S. 

 Stewart, to mark the intersection of the line between townships 42 and 43 

 with the northerly boundary of the Canadian Pacific Railway. This post has 

 disappeared but a post planted at that time by Mr. Stewart to the south of the 

 Canadian Pacific Railway right of way was found in position, and by measuring 

 northward a small mound of stones was found around what had been the site 

 of the post sought for. A substantial wooden post was planted by us, in lieu 

 of the missing monument, and a cairn of stones built around it. 



An observation for azimuth having been obtained, the survey was com- 

 menced the next day by extending northward the line between townships 42
