1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 101 



Mr. Kirkup met Dr. Williams of the Geological Staff on the Kenogami 

 River. He had taken exactly one week to come down to the mouth of the 

 Pagwachuan River from Pagwa with two canoes. This trip is usually made in 

 one day and a half. This will give some idea of what had to be contended with, 

 especially going upstream. 



The plots of traverse of the Nagagami, Kenogami and Pagwachuan Rivers 

 are now completed and are being forwarded to you, with observations, accounts 

 and vouchers in triplicate. 



We trust all will be found in order. 



We have the honour to be. Sir, 



Your obedient servants, 



Bingham & Kirkup, 



Ontario Land Surveyors 



The Honourable, the Minister of Lands and Forests,

Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., February 12th, 1921. 



Sir, — Under instructions from you dated May 4th, 1920, to continue Missin- 

 aibi Lake and River surveys in the Districts of Algoma and Sudbury, I com- 

 menced organizing for this work on May 18th, 1920. I left Sault Ste. Marie 

 with complete survey equipment and four men, for Missinaibi Station on main 

 line of Canadian Pacific Railway. From Missinaibi Station I travelled by 

 canoe on Dog, Crooked and Missinaibi lakes, and reached the point of com- 

 mencement on this year's operations at Missinaibi Lake on May 26th. 



For description of Missinaibi Lake please see my report of last year, as there 

 was only a small portion of the work on this lake to complete. 



The system of survey was carried out similarly to last year's work. Clearly 

 marked bench marks were established at all the possible places for water power 

 development. Levels based on Canadian Pacific Railway elevations at Dog 

 Lake were carried through and checked out on the Canadian National Railway 

 bench mark on Missinaibi River bridge near Peterbell Station to within one 

 foot. This was checked again at the railway bridge crossing the Greenhill River 

 three miles west of Argolis Station, and levels carried up Greenhill River to 

 Greenhill Lake, where a bench mark was established. 



Missinaibi River, Township of Lerwick. 



The outlet of Missinaibi Lake is in the Indian Reserve about twenty 

 chains west of the west boundary of the township of Lerwick, about five and one- 

 half miles south of the north-west angle of the township. At the outlet the 

 banks and bottom are of clay soil with no indication of rock. The last available 

 site for a dam is, in my opinion, at the head of the rapids, forty chains east of
