86 REPORT OF THE No. 3 



Warren, the north-west portions of Evans and Carty, there are scattered areas 

 of jack pine and spruce, but timber is usually too small at present for commercial 

 purposes. 



Minerals. 

 No indications of economic minerals were found. 



Streams and Lakes, Etc. 



' What was known as the Pishkanogama Route from Ridout Station on C.P.R. 

 passes through south-east corner of Crockett township to south end of lake 

 formerly known as Pishkanogama Lake, now called Ivanhoe. This lake is 

 navigable through townships of Hellyer and Pinogama, but is now about fifteen 

 feet lower than its original level, due to a washout at north end of lake, but I 

 understand surveys are being made to build a dam which will restore lake to 

 within about five feet of its original level. On both sides of this lake the hills 

 rise to a height of from one hundred and fifty to two hundred feet, with a thick 

 growth of timber in Pinogami township. 



There are a number of inland lakes of considerable size in townships of 

 Raney, Rollo, Warren and Carty. There is a canoe route from Ivanhoe Lake 

 through Hellyer and Sandy townships to Trout River, but stream is shallow 

 and not much used. 



There are no water powers capable of development. Ivanhoe Lake can be 

 used for storage purposes. 



Game 



Moose and game are plentiful, and there are many beaver colonies through- 

 out the whole area. Speckled trout up to one and one-half pounds were taken 

 in Raven River, Township of Murdock, and I understand are found in lake in 

 south-west corner of Warren township. 



Generally speaking, the area covered by this survey is valuable only for its 

 timber reserves and will be of considerable value as a source of pulpwood if 

 fire is kept out and young timber allowed to mature. 



Accompanying this report are a plan, field notes, timber plan, with usual 

 afifidavits and accounts in triplicate. 



I have the honour to be. Sir, 



Your obedient servant, 



Herbert J. Beatty, 



Ontario Land Surveyor. 



The Honourable, the Minister of Lands and Forests, 

 Toronto, Ontario.
