106 REPORT OF THE No. 3 



Brunswick Lake and River and Foster Lake. 



The survey was made in connection with Missinaibi River survey in 1920, 

 pursuant to your instructions. 



Traverse survey was carried up Brunswick River to outlet at end of lake, 

 and the larger part of the lake was traversed by triangulation, with detail filled 

 in by stadia readings. 



The lake is of moderate depth and could be easily navigated with small 

 launches; the shores, in general, slope gently upward, but in some places, par- 

 ticularly towards the south end, they are high, rocky and steep. I consider 

 the surface elevation could be easily increased fifteen feet, which would include 

 Foster Lake and spruce swamp at its southerly end, with the exception of the 

 swamps. Flooded area for such increase would probably not exceed one thousand 

 acres. Foster Lake is shallow throughout, with mud bottom; and its elevation 

 is practically the same as Brunswick Lake. 



Apparently, there is a favorable site for an impounding dam about two 

 and one-half miles below north end of lake on Brunswick River, where there 

 are small rapids with rock outcrops on both shores. The river is easily nav- 

 igable for canoes only for the entire length downstream; but upstream it is 

 necessary to resort to trekking. 



The soil adjacent to the lake and river is of clay, with frequent outcroppings 

 of rock, interspersed with swamps, as is evidenced by the number of small 

 creeks tributary to the river. 



The timber consists principally of poplar, spruce, and balsam, in quantities 

 sufficient to make a fair pulp proposition. 



I have the honour to be, Sir, 



Your obedient servant, 



(Sgd.) C. R. Kenny, 



Ontario Land Surveyor. 



The Honourable, the Minister of Lands and Forests, 

 Toronto, Ontario.

Survey of Part of Montreal River and East Boundary of Timagami 

 Forest Reserve, District of Timiskaming. 



New Liskeard, Ont., February 12th, 1921. 



Sir, — Under instructions from the Director of Surveys, dated August 

 24th, 1920, we proceeded to Elk Lake on August 30th, 1921, and thence up the 

 Montreal River to the location of the work. Owing to the extremely low water 

 in the river and the rate at which it was falling, it was considered necessary 

 to at once push forward to the head of Long Rapids, and start the traverse 

 there. Even at this time, there was barely enough water in places to float
