Appendix No. 30. 



Certain Lines in the Unsurveyed Townships of MacBeth, Afton, Armagh, 



Clary and Sheppard. 



Sudbury, Ont., September 11th, 1922. 



Sir, — In accordance with your instructions dated April 12th, 1922, to 

 survey certain lines in the unsurveyed Townships of MacBeth, Afton, Armagh, 

 Clary and Sheppard, this we have done and respectfully submit the following: — 



We left Sudbury on May 4th, 1922, and arrived at Washagaming Lake same 

 day; next day we proceeded up Washagaming and Maskinonge Lake, and thence 

 by portage to Sturgeon River to the south limit of the Township of MacBeth. 



The country in general is extremely rough and rocky, the soil on the whole is 

 sand and gravel; we found a few places suitable for agriculture. 



The timber in the Townships of MacBeth, Afton and Armagh is composed 

 chiefly of large white and red pine and the stand is very heavy. 



The timber in the Township of Clary is mostly jack pine with light stands 

 of red and white pine. 



In the Township of Sheppard, on the south half the pine is young and 

 vigorous, while on the north part the pine is large and over-matured, with 

 patches of jack pine. The spruce within a radius of about two miles from the 

 Sturgeon River has been cut many years ago. 



As to the minerals, we saw no economic minerals, excepting in the Town- 

 ship of Afton. We ran across the Golden Rose properties, the formation here 

 is an "iron formation." 



The only water powers encountered were on the Sturgeon River, Upper 

 and Lower Goose Falls, which may each develop about 700 h.p. • ;

 renew the line of boundary between the Provinces of Ontario and Quebec, from 

 Point Beaudette on Lake St. Francis to Pointe Fortune on the Ottawa River, 

 I got in communication with Mr. Paul E. Mercier, of Montreal, who was appoint- 

 ed by the Province of Quebec, to work with me in the interests of that province,

 field work on June 24th, and I beg to submit the following report.
