Minerals. 



No economic minerals were seen though on the line between Swayze and 

 Cunningham, in the first mile and in the fifth mile, as shown in my field notes, 

 I intersected mining claim lines. 



Game and Fish, 



Moose are very plentiful and an occasional red deer was.seen. Most of the 

 lakes and streams are inhabited with beaver. Small game is said to be numerous 

 and trapping in this country is quite profitable. The only fish caught were pike 

 and pickerel of a fair size; they seem to be quite plentiful in all the streams and 

 lakes of any size. ' 



Water Power. 



In the northerly part of the township of Cunningham, there is a falls on 

 the Ridout River of about twenty feet, but the shores of the river are low and 

 storage would be poor. There is another falls of about thirty feet in the town- 

 ship of Halcrow, but owing to the low water, flow being small in volume, neither 

 of these are of value without storage, and an estimate of horse power available 

 could only be made after a careful survey to ascertain drainage area, etc. 



Accompanying this report are a general plan, a timber plan, field notes of 

 the entire survey and the usual affidavits and accounts in triplicate. 



I have the honour to be. Sir, 



Your obedient servant, 



A. C. Young, 



Ontario Land Surveyor. 



The Honourable, the Minister of Lands and Forests, 

 Toronto, Ontario.

OF Timiskaming. 



Ottawa, October 14th, 192 L 



Sir, — In accordance with your instructions dated May 12th, 1920, I 

 proceeded to run certain township outlines west of the Ground Hog River, 

 and south of the National Transcontinental Railway. 



My assistant, Mr. Fred Webster, left Ottawa on June v3rd, and had our 

 party in readiness for me when I arrived in Fauquier on June 10th. On June 

 11th, we started up the Ground Hog River, later entering the Wagamacie 

 River. The latter river is for the most part quite shallow and very rapid at 

 that time of the year, and it was with considerable difficulty that we were
