interiors of the townships. This should give a good general idea of the actual 

 value or otherwise of the timber within the area covered, besides furnishing 

 data for the charting of waterways, etc. 



Water Power. 



As the height of land runs through these townships, the streams are in- 

 significant, and there are no water powers capable of development within the 

 area surveyed. 



Minerals. 



A considerable variety of rock was met with, especially in the southerly 

 townships, and while no precious or economic minerals were seen, thorough 

 prospecting may reveal deposits of value. During the summer, nickel was 

 reported south of Dalton, but the extent or value of the find is unknown. 



Game. 



Moose were seen at various times, and signs of bear and beaver noted. 

 Pike and pickerel were plentiful in the streams and lakes. Lake trout are said 

 to be present in Ash Lake. In general, however, the game is not so plentiful 

 as in some other districts of Northern Ontario, owing probably to persistent 

 hunting and trapping by Indians and others from Missinaibi.

 Ontario Land Surveyors.

I left the Canadian National Railway at Foleyet Station with my party, 

 using wagons to move my outfit about seven miles over a good portage road 

 to the north end of Ivanhoe Lake, and proceeded up the lake to the meridian 

 run by T. B. Speight, O.L.S., in 1909, and finding witness post planted by him 

 at forty-two miles plus ten chains, I chained south on his meridian and estabished 

 the corner of Carty and Pinogami Townships, then from observations I ran my 

 first base line west astronomically a distance of five miles and seventy-nine
