Appendix No. 33. 



Survey of the Southerly Parts of the Ground Hog and Kapuskasing 



Rivers and Tributary Streams and Lakes, Districts of 



Sudbury and Algoma. 



Cobalt, Ont., February 1st, 192L 



Sir, — In obedience to your instructions dated May 2nd, 1919, and further 

 instructions of May, 1920, to traverse certain lakes and rivers in the Districts 

 of Sudbury and Algoma, I have continued the work, and beg to report as follows: 



1. — Routine of Work. 



On May 14th, I left Cobalt with my party for Kukatush, on the Canadian 

 National Railway at the Ground Hog River Crossing. After caching part of 

 my supplies at McLeod's store, I moved the party to Kasaswaychin Lake and 

 commenced the survey of a chain of lakes which give a short route to Sahkata- 

 wichtah and Rice Lakes. 



We finished survey of Kasaswaychin Lake on May 28th and moved camp 

 to Katagi, the next lake, on May 29th. The survey of Katagi and Atekepemeska 

 was finished June 10th and Arbeesee Lake commenced on the same day. Ar- 

 beesee Lake was completed on June 12th and camp moved to Sahkatawichtah 

 Lake on June 13th. On June 16th, we had completed a portion of Sahkatawich- 

 tah which I was compelled by bad weather to leave unfinished in 1919, and 

 camp was moved to the first portage en route to Rice Lake. On the morning 

 of June 17th, when I called on the party to carry on up to Rice Lake, two of the 

 men, Wilfred McLeod and J. J. McDonald, refused to go on, saying the wages 

 were too small and the work too hard. Charles Sheppard, Howard Johnston 

 and Robert McLeod remained. Leaving Sheppard and Johnston to guard the 

 supplies, I left with Robert McLeod for Kukatush. I employed E. B. Bourke 

 as assistant and James White as cook, both of North Bay, and arrived back with 

 them at Sahkatawichtah Lake on the night of June 23rd. 



On June 24th I moved the parly to Rice Lake and completed the survey
